*The whole group is shown inside the carriage*
Aphrodite: As you know, this fight will be very complicated, we are facing a high school with four gold rank students, in addition, we are facing each other on a terrain that they know like the back of their hand
Aphrodite: However, there is something more worrying, the student Takahashi Kazukane
Shu: What about him?
Aphrodite: Against Shamqui, he was the only one who fought
Lowa: What? What do you mean?
Aphrodite: Zutarts also participated in a group match in the last round against Shamqui, but, according to reports, the only one who went into action was Takahashi, while the rest did not move from their place
Aphrodite: It was a crushing victory for Zutarts
Shu: Doesn't that guy really even make it into the top 3? What kind of monster is it?
Aphrodite: Who knows, but, at least we know that Yohei will be up to his level, the problem is the others, we don't know completely what his abilities are, but it is clear that the other three gold ranks: Zipacna, Tepztli and Xunaan will be really problematic
*A powerful explosion makes the carriage tremble*
Lowa: What the hell was that?
*Everyone gets out of the carriage and notices a terrifying energy slowly coming out of the forest*
*Everyone prepares for combat, while the subject slowly approaches*
Lowa: Hey, hey, is that really human?
Yohei: It can't be, that's a demon
Shu: *Think* It's similar to that day, where I met Eden
*Shu recalls his fight against Eden, where he stands with a terrified look as he sees the dark power of Eden*
Shu: *Swallows hard and thinks* But, this is 10 times worse, this is scary
Eden: *Think* I've felt this before
*Eden remembers the first time he felt Mammon's aura*
Eden: *Think* Damn, why am I excited?
*A small smile is shown in Eden*
Unknown: Can you know what you do?
Aphrodite: You are, Zipacna, aren't you?
Zipacna: Yes, why do they have that look? Afraid
Lowa: Isn't that obvious? Don't you see that demon that's approaching?
Zipacna: Ah, that. I'm sorry, I told him a thousand times not to come and train in these places, but it seems that he didn't listen to me
Zef: Do you know that demon?
Zipacna: How rude, I know he can be a little scary at times, but I assure you he's a good person
Yohei: Person?
*Lowa turns and screams in fright, when she suddenly finds a red-haired boy*
Shu: Lowa!
Unknown 58: Who are these? Do you know them Zipacna?
Shu: *Think* How is it possible that we haven't seen it coming despite the enormous aura it has?
Zipacna: Look, you're absent-minded. I told you the other time, they're from the GODS institute, we're going to face them in a few days
Unknown 58: Oh, I see
Unknown 58: But are they really warriors?
*The face of confusion at the stranger's words is shown*
Shu: Why do you say that?
Unknown 58: You... They are really weak
*Everyone's annoyed face is shown*
*Yohei grabs the stranger's shirt*
Yohei: What the hell did you say? Repeat it again without having balls, dwarf
Zipacna: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He doesn't know what he's saying
Zipacna: It was a misunderstanding, right?
Unknown 58: No, they're really weak
*Yohei is more annoyed by the stranger's words, and is about to throw a punch at him, but is stopped by Aphrodite*
Aphrodite: Stop at once, Yohei. If you hit him before the battle, you'll be disqualified.
*Yohei very annoyed lets go of the stranger and gets back into the carriage*
Aphrodite: I'm so sorry for what happened
Zipacna: No, we're sorry. He started this, it's my fault for not shutting him up in time
Zipacna: He's not very good at relating to people, but he's a great guy
*The stranger is shown staring very closely at Eden*
*Eden is shown to be a little uncomfortable with the moment*
Eden: What's going on? Do I have something on my face?
Unknown 58: You... You're really interesting
*Zipacna hits the stranger on the head and drags him away*
Zipacna: Idiot, you gotta learn to control yourself
Zipacna: I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused. If you go straight on, you will soon find the Zutarts Institute building, where you will be greeted by Professor Quetzalcoatl
Aphrodite: *A little confused* Eh... ok...
*Eden is shown surprised by the stranger's words*
Eden: *Think* Interesting?
*All students reassemble the carriage and move on*
*Zipacna is shown dragging the stranger in the middle of the forest*
Zipacna: Idiot, if you keep acting like this you'll only make more enemies
Unknown 58: And?
Zipacna: Don't come to me with "So?" you have to learn how to deal with people, otherwise you'll never get more friends
Stranger 58: I already have you and the teacher, why do I want more?
Zipacna: *Sighs* Fool, idiot, airhead
Unknown 58: We'll win, I'm sure
Zipacna: I know
Unknown 58: This time I'll leave you a little fun
Zipacna: I hope so, monster
*Quetzalcoatl is shown next to Aphrodite*
Quetzalcoatl: I'm sorry for the problems that our student has caused you, it won't happen again
Aphrodite: Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Plus, that only motivated my students more
*Everyone is shown training with an annoyed look*
Aphrodite: So, it has been very good for us
Quetzalcoatl: *Smiles* So, I'm happy for you
Aphrodite: Why do you keep acting Quetzalcoatl? You don't fool me with that fake smile
Quetzalcoatl: *Lets out a small laugh* I see them really confident, despite having passed the minimum in the previous round
Quetzalcoatl: Do you really think that you will be opponents for us?
Aphrodite: Who knows, maybe we'll kick their ass in an instant
Quetzalcoatl: It's impossible
Quetzalcoatl: It is true that he has a good diamond in the rough like Yohei Aktína, however, he is no match for our pair of prodigies
Aphrodite: I see you very confident, snake
Quetzalcoatl: I have my reasons
Aphrodite: We'll see who comes out victorious, feathered serpent
Quetzalcoatl: I look forward to seeing you fall, charming serpent
*A clash of auras between the two gods is shown*
Eden: It seems that the two don't get along very well
Shu: yes... It is said that both were part of the same division in the Special Forces, although it is not known what happened, both left the Special Forces after that mission in a distant kingdom
Eden: I see
*Aphrodite is shown with Shu*
Shu: What did he need me for?
Aphrodite: You are the brain of the team, do you have any plans?
Shu: I don't have it
Aphrodite: Huh? Seriously?
Shu: Yes, even if we fight with all our might, we will lose, they are much stronger individually
Aphrodite: Damn it
Shu: But, that's just what logic says. We have two types that go beyond something that can be raised with simple logic
Aphrodite: Two?
Shu: Yes, Eden and Yohei. Many may not have noticed, but Eden has become much stronger these months
Shu: I know it's nowhere near a Gold rank right now, let alone the top three. However, that demon inside him surpasses any idea we may have
Shu: It will be a double-edged sword, but it will be our only chance to be able to stand up to them
Aphrodite: Even if you say that, I don't think Eden is capable of controlling all his power at will, besides, I don't think his body will withstand a long duration of combat
Shu: That's right, so we have to open the way for him, we have to get Eden and Yohei to face Takahashi and Zipacna
Shu: The other gold ranks will be problematic, but with the help of the others I think we can beat them
Aphrodite: You're scary, sometimes you don't look human
Shu: Thanks for the compliment, teacher
Aphrodite: Then I'll leave it in your hands, child prodigy
Shu: *With a golden eye* Yes
*Eden is shown very tired while focusing his energy on the sword*
Eden: *Think* I have to get it before the battle, only then can I face those monsters
*Eden remembers the stranger and Zipacna and her immense aura*
*The sword's aura is broken and Eden falls from exhaustion*
Eden: *Think* I have to get over myself, as quickly as possible, plus I have other reasons
*Eden remembers Kai and Ryu*
Eden: *Expelling dark energy from the body* I will kill them
*Eden is surprised to see the stranger standing in front of him*
Unknown 58: I really wasn't wrong, you're very interesting
Eden: You're the one you used to be... What do you mean I'm interesting?
Stranger 58: Do you really not understand? That power that you have, it's really amazing
Unknown 58: *As you look at the body of Eden* It is true that the vessel is not yet ready, but when you completely polish your body, you will be impressive
Eden: You're the same, aren't you?
Eden: I could feel it when I saw you for the first time, you're cursed, aren't you?
Unknown 58: Cursed? I suppose that's what weak people call it, but, I think... I was blessed with this great power by the gods, don't you think?
Eden: I guess you could say so...
Eden: Can I ask you something?
Unknown 58: What's going on?
Eden: How have you been able to master your power?
Unknown 58: Dominate? No, no, I think you're wrong, I still don't fully control it
Eden: *Think* It has to be a lie, how is it possible that he has that gigantic aura without losing control? And you're telling me that's not all yet? Don't bother me
Unknown 58: I still have a long way to go to get to one hundred percent. Like you, I'm holding back
Unknown 58: However, there is something I don't understand. Why have you sealed the flow of your cursed energy? Is there anything you are afraid of?
Eden: Sealed?
Stranger 58: I see, it looks like you did it unconsciously
Eden: What are you talking about?
Unknown 58: I hope to see you on the battlefield, Eden Yomi, you will be a most interesting opponent
Eden: Hey! What do you mean?
Unknown 58: Bye, bye
Eden: Hey!
Eden: Fear? Sealed? Energy flow? What the hell are you talking about?
*Zipacna is shown behind a tree*
Zipacna: It seems that he hasn't understood a word of what you said to him
Unknown 58: Yes... It would be a shame if he couldn't use his true potential
Zipacna: If you're complaining, don't you think you should have helped him?
Unknown 58: No, if he is not able to discover his own weaknesses, it will not be worth facing him
Zipacna: *sighs* There's no one who understands you, Takahashi
Takahashi: *Think* I'll be waiting for you, Eden
