Chapter 116 - Chapter 116: Different Thoughts

Shun: It seems like they haven't taken long to decide who will go to this round

Alexbold: Something like that, although it is true that several very strong students are left out

Shun: It's a team fight, isn't it?

Alexbold: Yes

Shun: So I don't think it's a bad choice, everyone here will be able to contribute something, but...

Alexbold: Are you worried about Eden?

Shun: No, I'm worried about what might happen to others, if he loses control

Alexbold: Trust him, they've changed a lot in these weeks

Shun: It can be

Alexbold: It sounds like there's something else you're worried about

Shun: I wouldn't say I'm worried, it's the opposite, I'm excited

Alexbold: What happened?

Juana: Black Lights

Shun: Joan, you're late

Juana: I'm sorry, Yosa's idiot kept buying things on the road

*Yosa is seen full of shopping bags*

Yosa: What did you say?! It was you who didn't stop buying, four eyes

Juana: Shut up, Koala

*Yosa begins to expel energy and draws her sword*

Yosa: Do you want to fight four eyes?

Juana: Come on, I hope you don't get tired soon, Koala

Tiresias: How much energy young people have today

*Yosa puts away her sword and fades her energy quickly, just like Juana*

Shun: It looks like we're all there

Alexbold: Yes

Shun: It looks like we've found one of the foundations of Black Lights

All: What?!

Shun: We don't have all the details yet, but...

Alexbold: Why don't we attack?!

Shun: We don't have the preparations done yet

Alexbold: Are you worrying about the preparations?

Shun: It's a direct order from the king, until the preparations are made, we won't be able to attack

Yosa: Damn it, what is the king waiting for?

Shun: I don't know, but we don't have a choice

Tiresias: *Think* It's rare for Shun to listen to anyone, even the king himself, it seems that Shun has his own motives

Juana: So when do we leave?

Shun: Most likely it will be at the end of the second round. But, I don't promise that everyone will come back unscathed

Yosa: *With a serious look* Are you underestimating us?

Alexbold: What's going on? Is the strongest man afraid?

Juana: Is that it? Are you afraid?

*Shun lets out a small smile that surprises everyone*

Shun: *With a genuine smile* Suicidal idiots

Yosa: Boss...

Alexbold: Shun...

*Shu is shown with Sara strolling through the streets of Grek*

Shu: It seems like you're adjusting well to the group

Sara: Yes, it's a really amazing group, they're all very powerful

Shu: You're not far behind either, that power you showed in Nork was amazing

Sara: Yes... although I was not able to face that Jötun

Shu: Me neither, he was a real monster

Sara: Yes...

Shu: How are things going in the kingdom? Last I heard, Nai is preparing to be the new ruler

Sara: Yes, after all, he is the person with the greatest potential and fame to rule in the new kingdom. After all, virtually no gods survived, almost all of them fell in combat

Shu: Yes, it was a complete disaster. I still can't get everything I saw there out of my head

Sara: I trust that we will move forward, we are in good hands

*Nai is shown trained with his sword and with a much more muscular body*

Girl: Little brother, little brother, you got a letter

Nai: A letter? Whose?

Girl: Here it says, it's from... L-The cursed girl?

*Nai lets out a small laugh, showing a more serene look*

Nai: Thank you, Mei

Girl (Mei): *With a smile* There's no need to

*Knock-knock*

Nai: Are you leaving yet?

*A muscular red-haired man is shown*

Slangemorder: Yes, I'll be auditioning for the special forces

Nai: It seems that my father convinced you to do something crazy

Slangemorder: If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here right now. He was a great man

Nai: Yes, I know

Slangemorder: Besides, I can't sit idly by, there are people to whom I owe a lot

*Slangemorder remembers Dan's sacrifice and clenches his fist*

*Nai smiles and makes a whistle that makes Mjolnir appear*

*Nai reaches out with Mjolnir, handing it to Slangemorder*

Slangemorder: What do you do?

Nai: It's yours

Slangemorder: Why?

Nai: I'm sure my father would want the same, besides, I'm not worthy to wear it yet

Slangemorder: But...

Nai: Stop doubting yourself. If after passing the tests you still think that you are not worthy, bring it to me

Slangemorder: Y-Yo

Nai: Good luck, friend

Slangemorder: Thank you, Nai

*Slangemorder leaves the place and Mei and Nai send him away*

*A large number of mid-air crashes are shown*

*Yohei is shown holding Lowa and Sebastian's fist*

Lowa: Hey, hey, is this serious?

*Yohei kicks Lowa in the stomach and throws Sebastian towards Lowa, causing them both to crash on the ground*

Lowa: *Very agitated* How is this possible? It doesn't make any sense, we are both gold rank. How can there be such a difference?

Sebastian: *Smiling* That makes it more exciting, don't you think?

Lowa: Yes

*Lowa and Sebastian expel a large amount of energy*

Lowa: I'll smash it with my fists

*Lowa's energy is focused on her fists*

Sebastian: I'm going to cook it like a chicken

*Sebastian generates a large amount of fire and light in each hand*

*After a second they are both shown completely defeated and without energy*

Yohei: I told them it was pointless combat. They haven't scratched me

Sebastian: And what can we do? You're a monster, it doesn't even look like you've sweated

Yohei: It's just a matter of training, they should train more

Lowa: Let's hope so.

Lowa: *Think* Yes, that's how the third one is, how the hell are we going to deal with number one or two? It seems that right now we can only rely on Yohei, although... no, I don't think so

*Eden is shown on a mountain in Grek trying to maintain his dark energy*

Eden: *Think* If I am not able to control myself, we will lose. I have to stop being a hindrance to the team

*Eden's energy vanishes in an instant and he falls spitting blood*

Eden: *Think* Am I really not capable of more? Damn, I'm still very weak

Shun: Wow, wow, it looks like you've really gotten stronger

Eden: Peli rosa...

Shun: It seems that at least you are already able to use your powers consciously

Eden: I'm not yet strong, I'm still not able to cope with strong opponents

Shun: Do you want me to give you some power?

Eden: I don't want to, I'm sure you'll do very strange things

Shun: I, never...

Eden: Do you see?

Eden: What are you doing here? I thought you'd go back to work after the mission on Death Island

Shun: That's right, but I wanted to take a few days off

Eden: I see

Eden: Is there any clue to them?

Shun: Them? Do you mean Black Lights?

Eden: Yes

Shun: No, there aren't. Those bastards are good at hiding

Eden: I understand

Eden: Can I ask you something?

Shun: What's going on?

Eden: Are We Really the Good Guys?

Shun: Huh? Do you say that because of the other time?

Eden: Something like this, if we are really on the good side, why have so many people suffered for those we defend?

Shun: Who knows, I really don't think there's a right answer to your question

Shun: Is being on this side the right thing to do? I don't know

Shun: Would being against them the right thing to do? I have no idea

Shun: the two of them, right or wrong? Is it bad to want to destroy the world if they harm your own? Am I really bad for standing up for what I think is right? Am I bad for thinking differently than 12 old people who set the rules?

Shun: I don't know, but I'm not interested in knowing either, them. I'll stand up for what I hold dear, though life

Eden: *With a relieved smile* It's the first time I've seen you talking seriously, pink hair

Shun: Doesn't I look cool?

Eden: yes, really cool

*Shun is surprised by Eden's words*

Eden: I thought I would never say this. But, thanks pink hair, I hope to see you again

*Shun and Eden shake hands*

Shun: I say the same thing, idiot

*All students are shown saying goodbye*

Violet: Good luck, guys

Eden: Thank you

Yuki: They better not lose. If they lose, I'll kick their ass

Eden We Won't Lose

Shu: We'll be waiting for you in the third round, at two o'clock

*The four of them join their fists*

Sebastian: Kick everyone's ass, I trust you

Lowa: We will

Zef: Let's hope Yohei doesn't leave us without fun

Yohei: Become stronger, we'll be waiting for you Sebastian

*Eris is shown apart from the entire group, while the others say goodbye*

Aphrodite: It seems that we are all here

Aphrodite: It's time to leave for Zutarts, I don't want any regrets guys, leave it all on the battlefield, got it?

All: Yes!

Aphrodite: Let's go
