*Zeus, Aphrodite, and the three archangels from GODS are shown together*
Zeus: First of all, I have to thank you for your hard work, despite everything that happened with Blackbeard
Zeus: Having said that, what are the conclusions?
Alexbold: I have to admit that three spots were filled from the second zero, both Yohei Aktina, Zef Mizushima and Shu Sagesse stood out with their great talent and ability they swept and excelled over the others. Especially, Yohei, I can't imagine what she's capable of on her own
Aphrodite: *Think* It seems that we all agree, those three would enter without any problem, there is no surprise
Aphrodite: *Think* Now just to know, the other half of the participants
Alexbold: Before continuing, can I ask something?
Zeus: Yes, what's going on?
Alexbold: Did you send it?
Zeus: What are you talking about? Send to whom?
Alexbold: To Zou, the king's right-hand man
*The shocked face of Aphrodite and Zeus is shown*
Zeus: It can't be...
Zeus: What was that guy doing there?
Alexbold: Who knows, but it looks like the guy took the reins of the workout while I was away
Alexbold: *Smiles nervously* I have to admit, it's scary what he can create in such a short time
*Yohei is shown laying waste to a mountain with the shockwave of his punch*
Yohei: This feels great... Really good
*Yohei's body begins to expel small blue rays*
Aphrodite: It seems that he did it on his own, without anyone's order.
Unknown 54 (Zou): I was just looking to have a little fun
*An old man is shown sitting next to Zeus*
Iseli: *Think* When did it arrive?
Zou: Zeus, I have to admit, you have a son with great potential
Zeus: What are you doing here?
Zou: I only came to fulfill a mission on behalf of the king. However, I met some very interesting warriors
Zeus: What did you do to Yohei?
Zou: It's strange that you worry about one of your children. Are you sick?
Zeus: ** What did you say?
Zou: I didn't do anything to them, I just exploited their qualities, although the rest of the work depends on them
Alexbold: Why?
Zou: It would be a shame if they fall so early in the tournament, don't you think?
Aphrodite: What are you talking about?
Zou: I hope to have fun in the second round, until another
*Zou walks away slowly, while the others watch him with respect and terror*
*Back to the present*
Aphrodite: *Think* What are you looking for?
Aphrodite: Without further ado, these are the 6 warriors who will represent GODS, in the second round
Aphrodite: First, Yohei Aktina, who showed great superiority in training against her teammates, with a great capacity for Zenka energy and enormous physical power
Aphrodite: Second, Zef Mizushima, A warrior with great skill with weapons, both melee and ranged, as well as enormous control in his Zenka energy
*Zef smiles and fists bumps Yohei and Lowa*
Aphrodite: Third, Shu Sagesse, a genius, with great analytical skills and strategic power, in addition to his great physical ability and extraordinary vision
*Shu clenches his fist and looks happily at Eden and Yuki*
Aphrodite: Fourth, Our war with the greatest physical power, far surpassing the rest of the class, in addition to her great skill using close-range weapons, Lowa Match
Lowa: Yes!
Aphrodite: Fifth, the warrior with the greatest growth in these months, both in the use of his Zenka energy, and in his physical strength, Eden Yomi
Aphrodite: Congratulations, you have managed to exceed my expectations
Eden: *With a big smile* Thank you
Aphrodite: Sixth, and lastly, a warrior with great management in her Zenka energy and with a great use of cursed energy
*Eden and Shu see Yuki smiling*
Aphrodite: Eris Onenighed
*Eden, Shu, and Yuki's surprised faces are shown*
Eden: It can't be...
Yuki: How?
Aphrodite: I have to admit that your reports surprised me, all your skills far exceeded what you demonstrated in the entrance exams, congratulations, Eris
Eris: Thank you, teacher
*Yuki's frustrated face is shown*
*After several minutes Yuki is shown still sitting alone*
Shu: Yuki Do you want to...
Yuki: No, leave me alone for a moment
Shu: Y-Yes
*Eden and Shu leave the place and only Aphrodite and Yuki remain*
Aphrodite: Are you wondering how you didn't get in?
Yuki: Yes...
Aphrodite: Because you are weak
*Yuki is shown surprised by Aphrodite's words*
Yuki: You don't hold back one bit, huh?
Aphrodite: Why would I do it? I'm just telling you the reality. I can't deny that you have worked hard this time, and whoever was your teacher during the 7 years you left my side, it has made you come back very strong
Aphrodite: But it's very self-centered to think that the only one who has made an effort has been you, don't you think?
Aphrodite: Have you ever stopped to think about what your reason is for becoming stronger? Fame? Money? Power? Vengeance? Kill?
Yuki: What?
Aphrodite: I know very well, that you seek to avenge the death of your father
Yuki: Have you known this all along? And why did you act like you didn't know anything?
Aphrodite: Because I'm not afraid of you, when I saw you again, I was disappointed, it seems that you had settled for being a little stronger than before, and that was enough. Do you really think that with that level you will give me a fight?
Yuki: Y-Yo
Aphrodite: If you really want to achieve something, you have to train until you can't take it anymore, you have to give it your all, whatever your reason is, you have to give it your all so you don't regret it, got it?
Aphrodite: I will be waiting for you, my daughter. I'll wait until I'm stronger and you can kill me
*Yuki lets out a small laugh*
Yuki: I'll tear you to pieces next time, old lady
*Violet, Eden and Shu are shown sitting in a bar*
Violet: Here it comes
Shu: Yes
Shu: Eden, don't say any of your idiocy
Yuki: I'm sorry I'm late
Eden: Well, how does it feel that I beat you this time?
Violet: Huh?
Yuki: Huh?
Shu: *sighs* idiot
*Eden is shown full of bruises and swellings*
Shu: You have a better face, what happened?
Yuki: Nothing in particular, you could only say that I haven't given up yet
Yuki: So, they better win against Zutarts. Or else I'll beat them up
Shu: We'll win and we'll be waiting for them for the semi-final
*Shu stretches his fist to the center of the table*
Violet: I'm not very excited about fighting, but, I'm in
*Violet stretches out her fist next to Shu's*
Yuki: I'll get stronger and we'll win the tournament together
*Yuki stretches out her fist and joins it to the others*
Eden: I'm not excited to team up with the ugly one, but I'm in
*Eden joins his fist to the others and everyone smiles*
*Night falls and group 1 is shown together*
Lowa: It's a shame that the 4 of us weren't chosen
Zef: Yes, I still don't understand how they chose Eris over Sebastian, in terms of energy and power, Sebastian beats up the others
Yohei: Idiots, it seems like the two of you only think with your muscles
Lowa: What are you talking about? Are we lying? They left out of the group Silver ranks such as: Lux, Sebastian or Jake, to put two bronze ranks like Eden and Eris
Yohei: The second round is a team battle, the important thing is not only strength, but also strategy, ingenuity, knowledge. We are also at a complete disadvantage, they will already know the battlefield, if we make a single mistake, we will be screwed
Zef: But what does this have to do with Eris?
Yohei: Everything. She was the one who had the highest grade in the written exam along with Shu, both are unprecedented geniuses, if we use them in the right way we can win
Lowa: *Smiles* I couldn't expect anything less from number one
Yohei: *Think* Still, I'm still intrigued. How strong has the demon become?
*Yohei remembers seeing an immense aura coming out of Eden's body*
Yohei: *Think* Besides, it's not just him that has me intrigued, what the hell is that sword? Why doesn't it transmit a drop of energy? How many hidden tricks does that demon have?
Yohei: *Think with a little smile on my face* I feel like crushing it with my bare hands
*A swordsman is shown quickly laying waste to monsters in his path*
Unknown 56: It's really amazing, he doesn't miss a single attack, if he keeps it up, in a short time he will become the strongest of all
Unknown 57: Not yet, turn up the training
Unknown 56: But sir, he's just a child, he's 13 years old
Unknown 57: *With a murderous look* Do I have to repeat it to you?
Unknown 56: N-No
Unknown 56: *Think* If everything goes according to plan, we will win the tournament, there is no doubt about that
*The swordsman is shown with a blank stare watching the disintegrating monsters*
Unknown 58: This is really boring... There's no one to give me a bit of a fight, they're all really weak
Unknown 58: *Think* I hope that shoddy god keeps his promise, if I don't kill him
*The swordsman's body begins to expel a tremendous, but terrifying energy*
Unknown 58: *With a disturbing smile* I hope to have fun
