Brünhilde and Goll were at the former´s chambers, trying to decide who the 3rd representative for humanity will be
Or well, that's what they should have been doing
Except that Brünhilde was shoving down pies
-"Ah" Goll was nervous "She's starting to binge eating those special made salmiak pies! That's the sign that she´s super stressed right now"
-"Nom. that's stupid sun god! ñon" her cheeks were full of pies, and she was fully pissed
-"You would think she would at least eat something that tastes better" Goll then put a hand on her chin "Now that i think about it though, Nega-san´s knife, that is, sister Randgriz, was unscathed at the end of the fight, so shouldn't she"
-"It does not work like that, Goll" a female voice said as she entered the room
She was a tall woman with long dark purple and straight hair with bangs covering her right eye (she has bangs covering her left eye whenever she gets angry) and a long braid going from the left side of her head to her waist.
She wears a white garrison cap on her head and a white opened up military jacket with a dark purple strapless corset exposing her cleavage along with white jeans underneath. She also wears white high shaft boots with metal knee guards and black fingerless gloves with detached cufflinks.
She was Hrist, the second of the Valkyrie sisters
-"Sister Hrist… wait, what do you mean?"
-"Völund is not simply a matter of becoming a weapon. It's a technique in which man and valkyrie become one. In other words, you entrust everything to one another. You fight as one"
The realization shocking the youngest valkyrie
-"And you live and die as one too"
The tears began to form
Hrist wrapped her sister in a comforting hug "There's no need to cry, both of our sisters knew the risk, the kind of battle we´re facing"
-"I know that, but still… it's so unfair to them, and so unfair to the humans that have been chosen too"
Suddenly, the grasp on Goll was tightening
-"Siter Hrist" Goll started to feel some pain "You're squeezing me"
Her sister's face was completely change, biting her lower lip and her eyes twitching in an unmeasurable anger
Almost as she was somewhat different
-"Fucking Bastards! I'm coming for you!"
-"I" Goll was terrified "I almost forgot. Two powers dwell within her body, two halves of the same whole"
Hrist, the translation of her name is
The Trembling One, Whether That Be with Fear or with Anger
A calm, kind and polite woman at one moment. An aggressive, rude and violent woman at the other
They both heard a burp, coming from Brünhilde
-"If we lose the third match… No, that won't happen, but" she grabbed her head, she was at a lost "But who? Who could we send to face the next god?"
-"Arghhh!"
They all heard that scream, coming from the hallway
-"What's going on?" Goll asked
The trio went to check
Down the hallway, they saw a young man of average height whose appearance is rather dull, he lacks anything that makes one stand out, he has messy spiky light brown hair as well as lackluster brown eyes.
His apparel consists of an orange t-shirt with a black spiral in the center, that is over long-sleeved black shirt and striped pants or jeans
-"I swear, even in heaven, and yes, I know we are not dead yet, but still, grandma can't stay put!" he let out a sigh "Glad Medaka-san was there to help out"
He then noticed the three valkyries looking at him
He blushed hard
-"Eh?! Wh-What are you all doing here?"
-"That should be my question" Brünhilde said "Kazuya-san"
-"Ah!" Goll said "Now I remember him, he is Kazuya Kinoshita, he is also a chosen fighter for humanity, he is" she checked through her phone "The Loser Lover!"
The room went quiet
-"Loser Lover?" Kazuya started to emanate a depressing blue aura "I mean, I know my love life is miserable, but at least humor me"
-"Ehem" Brünhilde brought them back to the matter at point "You didn't answer my question, Kazuya-san"
-"Oh, right" he felt embarrassed "Well, my grandma was causing some… disturbances, for a lack of a better word, mostly about how they were not allow to visit any of us before the fights, Medaka-san´s grandfather was also involved, so we were both called to help with that"
-"I see, it may be rude, but there's a reason why I asked you all to wait in your rooms, you need to be ready for the fights, and I rather you all be there where is safe, you were already given time to say goodbye to your family and friends before coming, and they will be allowed to visit you all once your corresponding fight ends"
-"You are forgetting the part where we might not come back alive though" though he was not gonna tell her that "I know, doesn´t mean they will comply, grandma has quite the trouble taking a no for an answer"
-"I suspect Medaka-san has already returned to his room too?"
-"Yeah, I was just venting out before that" taking in one more breath "Well, see you later"
-"Wait!" Brünhilde yelled
-"Eh?!" Kazuya panicked "W-What?"
The eldest of the valkyries looked at Kazuya, deep in thought
-"Could he… I don´t know why, but I feel he could… Or I am just out of ideas that I am starting to wing it…" she shook her head "No, don't think like that Brünhilde, he's the Loser Lover, but the same time…His sheer perseverance has let him to accomplish the impossible"
She took a deep breath, and let it out "I´ve decided, Kazuya-san" she pointed at him "You´re the next fighter for humans!"
It took him a few seconds to process that "...HAH!?" Kazuya´s shocked yelled could be heard through the entire hallway
-"Hrist!"
-"Yes, sister?"
-"You´ll be his partner"
Hrist looked at her new partner, who was a mess of blush and panic
-"...We're doomed"
Back at the arena, both humanity and god´s public were excited
-"And now" Heimdall said "Let's move on to the third fight!"
Cheers filled the arena
-"Humanity is down by 2 fights, and the gods want to keep piling up the advantage, will this fight be any different? Let's introduce the fighter for the humans!"
The door for humanity opened, revealing a nervous Kazuya gulping
-"Indecisive and nervous like no one else, a young man with low self esteem who can barely keep it together, and what's more, according to many, a failure in love"
He started to walked into the arena
-"And yet, he's also an example of perseverance towards achieving your dreams, no matter the insults, he pushes forward, no matter the doubts in his mind, he pushes forward, slowly but surely, specially when it comes to love"
He tried to keep a confident face
-"With a strong resolution, he is… Kazuya Kinoshita!"
Humanity began to whisper among each other, not sure what to made of him
-"You could have avoided some words in that presentation, you know?" Kazuya complained to Heimdall
-"I do my best with the material I´m provided, young one"
-"Yeah, right" he then looked towards the arena
He spotted his parents and grandmother, who just looked at him, clearly not pleased at this situation
He then noticed the love of his life
A young woman with waist-length chestnut-brown hair, with a notable braid tied into a small ponytail hanging on the back and light brown eyes. A dazzling and stunning beauty that turns heads wherever she goes. She's described to have a large bosom, long slender legs, and almost ideal proportions, wearing an outfit that consisted of a red sleeveless shirt with a turquoise skirt that stretched to her knees
She was Chizuru Ichinose, or as Kazuya knows her
-"Mizuhara… I am glad she came to see me" that brought him some comfort, and smiled at her
She smiled back
-"And now" Heimdall said "Let's introduce the next fighter for the gods!"
The door for the gods opened, revealing a beautiful tall woman with tan skin and slender figure, wearing a traditional egyptian white robe that left her arms uncovered. She wore a golden arm bracelet on both wrist, her frizzy black hair perfectly kept
But what stood the most of her were her eyes, they were green, and the pupil of them were vertically shaped, like that of a cat
-"A goddess whose beauty is known across all the desserts, her aroma catches anyone attention, hence why she is sometimes referred as "she of the ointment jar, the perfumed protector"
She started to walked into the arena
-"Like the cat, majestic and one who you can seek comfort with, but watch out, because she also hides a ferocious side deep within her, ready to crush anyone who she seems deserves it"
She planted her scepter on the ground
-"One of the greatest deities in the Egyptian pantheon, the Soul of Auset, Bastet"
The gods cheered for her
-"Show them what's good, lady Bastet!"
-"Damn it!" Kazuya was nervous "She truly is a beauty" he shook his head violently "Keep it together, Kazuya!"
-"The Loser Lover, The Ferocious Goddess" Heimdall said "Who will surpass who? Let's find out" with his hand signal, he marked the beginning "Fight!"
Trying to act confident, Kazuya unsheathed his silver honshu broadsword
-"Kazuya man" the goddess winked at her "Let´s have some fun!"
-"What the"
The feline like goddess rushed towards the young loser
-"Shit!"
Bastet was in front of him, ready to scratch him her fingernails, sharp as claws
-"Take this!" Kazuya threw a frontal downward slash at his opponent
But the goddess intercepted him with her scepter
-"Here" one hole on her scepter opened "Enjoy my fragrance"
-"Eh?" Kazuya was confused
Hearing a buzz sound, Kazuya was met by a cloud of moist with a peculiar aroma
-"Ehem, ehem" he was coughing, whatever he was sprayed with, it dried his throat and made him lose his focus "Damn it, I can't see!"
-"Now" putting her scepter away for a moment, the goddess raised her two hands up in the air "Eye of Ra" her nails started to emanate some fire, and she cross slashed Kazuya´s face "Sekhmet!"
-"Ghah!" Kazuya could feel his skin being both cut and burned
He took a few steps back, touching his skin,l it started to cauterize, but still hurt
-"What a demonstration!" Heimdall said "Lady Bastet inflicted the first damage on this fight!"
-"Ngh" Kazuya was left with an X mark across his face "Ok, not a good start"
-"Hehehe" she giggled "Come on, you are boring" she meowed at him
-"She truly is like a cat, playful one moment, ferocious the next" he gulped "Can I even do something against her?"
-"What power" Goll said
-"Indeed" Brünhilde agreed "Not only Bastet is quite agile and strong, she can call forth the help of her fellow gods under the Eye of Ra"
-"Huh?!" that shocked her "W-Wait, wouldn't that mean that it's no longer a 1 vs 1?"
-"No, she´s borrowing a portion of their power to boost up her own skills, but they are not physically present, as much as I hate to admit, they are not breaking any rules" she looked at the Greek Pantheon
-"Hehehe" Zeus laughed "I think she noticed our little trick"
-"That stupid old man"
Back at the fight
-"Mmmm, you are not fun" she snapped her fingers "I know, let me do a little dance for you"
She started to move in a seductive way
-"Such movements" one god said
-"Eye of Ra: Raet-Tawy"
Kazuya started to feel weird
-"Yes, Kazuya man, love it, enjoy it" she spoke in a seductive, though that dept hid her grin "Then you´ll be tear apart"
-"I" Kazuya´s heart started to beat fast, her face blushing, he was losing himself
-"Now" spinning around, the goddess was in front of him again, preparing her claws "This is it"
But what happened next was unexpected
Kazuya slammed his own head against his sword´s fuller part, obviously not cutting himself
-"Huh?" the goddess was confused
-"You idiot!" her grandma yelled from the stands "You´re supposed to attack her, not yourself!"
-"Kazuya" Mizuhara was concerned "Please tell me you have a plan"
-"There" despite the pain, he was grinning "Now I won't be distracted"
-"He hurt himself in order to get free from the dance´s effect!?"
-"Take this!"
He delivered another downward slash, which was intercepted by the goddess´s scepter
-"Want some more?" the hole opened once more
-"Not this time!" using one hand, he grabbed hold of the scepter, blocking said hole
-"How dare you touch it?!" Bastet was not pleased, kicking her opponent in the chest to send him away
-"Uf" Kazuya felt the air leaving his lungs for a moment
-"Here goes!" putting her scepter away, the goddess started to attack Kazuya with her nail/claws
-"Ngh" Kazuya was on the defensive, blocking as best as he could, though she managed to take some hits at him, leaving claw marks on his arms "She´s fast! I need to come up with an idea!"
Receiving another kick, Kazuya was pushed back
-"You're not entertaining"
Bastet rushed at him
In a panic, Kazuya did a front slash at her opponent "Hrist-san, help me!"
His attack was blocked
-"Useless"
However
She felt a sharp pain on her back
-"Blahg!" the goddess screamed on pain
She had a big cut on her back
-"What the?!" Kazuya was confused
-"Do it again!" Hrist spoke from deep within his soul
-"Eh?"
-"Just attack her, you idiot! and make sure to pay attention this time!"
Not wanting to provoke further rage from his partner, Kazuya performed a left side slash
Again, his attack was blocked
But
-"Gah!" the goddess felt another cut on her right side
-"That" Kazuya was perplexed "I noticed it, the moment I attacked, I saw the light of a second slash"
-"You finally noticed it" Hrist said
Bastet jumped back a bit to gain some distance
-"What an unexpected turn!" Heimdall said "Despite having all his attacks blocked, Kazuya has somehow managed to inflict some damage on her opponent!"
-"I don´t quite get it, I am only using one sword, why two slashes?"
-"Hmph" Hrist smugly said "They don't call me The Trembling One, Whether That Be with Fear or with Anger for nothing"
Realization hit Kazuya "Right, you have two powers within you! hence, two slashes, one from the sword, and the other is a replica in the opposite direction, so I attack left, the other attacks right"
-"You´re smarter than I thought"
-"Why didn't you tell me that sooner?!" he was angry
-"I did told you before the fight, you were too nervous to actually listen"
Kazuya felt like an idiot "Oh, right… sorry"
She placed a hand on his shoulder, now speaking on a kinder tone "Don´t worry, you are my partner now, we have to work together to win, remember that she's waiting for you"
Kazuya remembered Mizuhara, and nodded "Yeah, for Mizuhara, as well as Ooyama-san and Nega-san, and the others watching, we have to win"
Heirst grinned "Damn right we have to" she thought of Goll "I made a promise too"
And that´s the end for now, Kazuya started rough, but he´s gaining some confidence, will that be enough?
