Brünhilde and Goll were on their way to the former´s chambers
-"This is awesome, sis!" Goll yelled excitedly "I know we still have a long way to go, but humanity has managed to tie the score!"
-"Indeed, Goll, Kazuya-san and Shirogane-san did amazing" She then smiled smugly "Now, all we need to do is win the next one, and we will have stolen the lead from the gods"
Upon reaching the chambers, they noticed two things
One, the door was open, and two, they heard a strange rattling sound
When they reach the room, they saw a young man of average height and lean build, with brown hair, brown eyes, wearing a school uniform that consists of a white dress shirt, which is covered up by the standard light-brown colored blazer; on top that he wears it unbuttoned, wearing a red tie and outdoor brown shoes as well as blue pants.
-"Is that" Goll said, somewhat taken back
Brünhilde planted her foot in a commanding way
-"Eh?" the young man stopped checking through the eldest of the valkyries wardrobe once he realized he was not alone "Oh, you´re back, welcome"
Brünhilde pointed a finger at him, a vein on her head pulsating "Just what do you think you´re doing?... Sakuta-san"
Sakuta Azusagawa, also known as the Rascal Lover
And a future representative of humanity in Ragnarok
To this, he put a hand on his chin, not unfazed by the valkyrie´s tone "Simple" he looked at her "Looking for a gift for Mai-san"
-"In my sister's room?" Goll asked
-"What can I say?" he shrugged, and smiled in an amicable way "Your sister does have good taste in clothes, I was going to pay of course"
To this, Brünhilde let out a sigh "How did you even get inside?"
-"Well, I wanted to ask you something, but the door was already open when I got here?"
-"Eh?" Goll was confused "It was already open?"
-"That's impossible, only I have the key for it"
-"Beats me, but since it was already open, I figure I could take a look around while I waited for you"
-"I see, I´ll look into that later, anyway, what can I help you with?"
He looked at Goll "Could it be in private?"
-"Very well, Goll, could you please wait outside? Make sure to close the door"
-"Ok" and she did as she was told
-"What is it?"
-"Well, for starters, I was just wondering if my turn is coming up?"
-"No, your turn is still a long way to go"
-"I see" he looked around the room
-"Is that all? I find it strange, you don´t look like the type who is excited for a fight"
-"Yeah, me neither, anyway, I have one more question"
-"Go on"
He looked at her dead in the eyes "What's your purpose here?"
-"I beg your pardon?"
-"What's your purpose here? Why did you decide to carry out Ragnarok?"
-"Is there a problem? You were all informed beforehand on what the fight was about"
-"Yes, and we all agreed, if it means protecting those we love, we will do what he have to, but"
-"But?"
-"I get the feeling things aren't what they seem here, you in particular"
She tilted her head and innocently asked "I really have no idea what you mean, I just want to save humanity"
They kept looking at each other, not breaking eye contact
It was as if they were analyzing, waiting for the other party to

Sakuta let out a sigh "Fine, be that way, I can take a hint" he started to head towards the exit "I´ll go back to my room, the others will need our support from the sidelines, I´ll go check on Kazuya and Miyuki later too, if that's ok"
-"I would prefer you stay in your room where it´is safe, if you have to, make it a quick visit"
He stopped at the door, placing his hand on the knob
-"Say" he spoke up "We and your sisters are risking our lives out there, you own us to be honest"
-"And I am being honest, you have nothing to worry about" she avoided looking at him while saying this
Without adding anything else, he opened the door, and left the room, closing it once he was out
-"I am done now" he told Goll "Sorry for bothering"
-"It´s ok" Goll replied "Take care now"
But before Goll could enter
-"Say" Sakuta spoke up
-"Yes?"
-"...Do all of you trust Brünhilde?"
-"Eh?" she found that question strange
-"You and your sisters, do all of you trust her?"
-"Of course we do, she's giving her everything to save humanity!"
-"...I see"
He then extended his hand and pat the younger valkyrie in the head a few times
-"EH!?" she was somewhat taken back "What was that about?!"
-"Sorry" he chuckled "You remind me of my own sister, that's all" And he walked away
Feeling disappointed, Sakuta let out a sigh "Worth a shot, couldn't find anything useful though, maybe we are being paranoid after all"
Before he could reach his room
-"Yo" he heard a male voice from behind
Turning around, he was met by a tall, muscular man in a tank top with glasses along with robes tied around his waist wrapping back to his hands. He wears a bindi on his forehead, and has his light green hair, black on the sides, tied backwards in a classical/old-fashioned way with what seems to be a golden type of crown. He also dons earrings, a pair of rectangular glasses, and has elongated earlobes. He has sharp canines. The tank top he wears is accompanied an eyepatch-wearing rabbit design with the word "USACHAN" written right below it
And for some reason, he was holding a bucket of popcorn
-"Oh" Sakuta was puzzled "Hi… you´re a god, correct?"
-"That's what my ID card says" the god sounded rather bored "But I don't care about that stuff"
-"I see" he noticed the bucket of popcorn "Are those good?"
-"You bet they are!" he took a handful of them and extended them at Sakuta "Want some?"
Sakuta looked at the snacks, not entirely sure
-"What?... Oh, I see, since I´m god, you´re probably thinking that I´m trying to poison you or something"
-"No, it just that I don't have any food with me, if wouldn't be fair for me to accept your offer if I don't offer something in return"
-"..." the god smiled "I like that attitude, but it's fine, I wouldn't be offering them if I expected something in return, and also, I am on your side"
-"You are?"
-"Yeap" he ate some more popcorn "Afteñr ñall I ñam"
-"Eh?"
He swallowed "Sorry, I said that after all, I am the one who opened Brü-chan´s door before you arrived"
Sakuta's eyes went wide, for the first time since meeting this god "I see… by the way, my name is Sakura Azusagawa"
-"Nice to meet you, Saku-chan" he showed him a big smile "I´m Buddha"
Meanwhile, Brünhilde and Goll were on their way to pick up the next fighter for humanity
-"We are here"
They opened the door
-"Pardon the intrusion"
Inside, they saw three people
One was a tall young man, with short brown hair, and black eyes. He wears a white sweat jacket with a blue hood, khaki pants, and white shoes.
The other was a shorter young man, with short and darker brown hair, he was wearing a white sport shirts below a black with red stripes sports jersey, black shorts and black snickers
The last one was also short young man with short dark blue hair, wearing an uniform that consisted a white dress shirt, which is covered up by the standard light-brown colored blazer, dark blue pants and black shoes
They were all busy doing sorts of exercises with different equipments
-"Seems you all have been busy" Goll said
-"Well, making exercise helps me when I am stressed" the first one said "So I asked Taiki and Youshin to join in too"
Taiki Inomata, The Athlete Lover, and Misumai Youshin, The Strange Lover
Two future representatives of humanity for Ragnarok
-"I know we are not supposed to leave our rooms" Youshin said, somewhat embarrassed "But Sakurai senpai said that it's better to train with others"
-"Yeah" Taiki added "Plus, it is a good way to kill time until our turns arrive, I can't stay put myself for that long"
-"Don´t worry, I understand" Brünhilde said "So long as you are not roaming around without good reason, and I am glad you decided to do a little warm up, Shinichi Sakurai" he pointed at him, the tallest of the three "Because you're next"
Sakurai´eyes went wide with nervousness, he let out a sigh afterwards "I was dreading this"
-"You´ll be fine, Sakurai- senpai!" Taiki said
-"Yeah, you´re stronger than you think" Youshin added
To this, the older one could not help but smile "Thanks guys, I guess it is only fair I go too, the others went and gave it their all, I have to do it as well"
-"Good answer, now, Youshin-san, Inomata-san, could you please leave so we can get Sakurai-san ready?"
Wishing him good luck one more time, the duo left
-"So, who's gonna be my partner? That's how it works, right?"
-"That would be me!" someone said from behind the door
Shattering said door, an enormous woman with an extremely muscular build entered, Because of her muscles and her square jaw, she has a rather masculine appearance. Her hair is pink, tied into a short braid which comes down the right side of her head. She has a golden hairpin in the shape of a wing. Her eyes are green, and she wears pink lipstick on her big lips. She wears a red and black corset with golden outlines, black cloth leggings with white metal kneepads and golden outlines, red and black wide-heeled shoes with golden outlines and black armbands. On her right shoulder, there is a golden armband, and a thick golden armlet on her right hand. She also wears a dark red hood with golden outlines and feathers which go down her back.
She was Thrud, the third of the 13 valkyries
-"Sister Thrud!" Goll said
-"Hmm" she looked at her new partner "I prolly look like nothin more than a big freak to you, don´t I?"
-"Huh?" Sakurai was confused "Why would I think that? You´re not"
-"Eh?" the biggest of the valkyries wasn't expecting that answer
-"Who cares about appearances? You´re helping me out here, plus, my girlfriend already has what you could say… an unique physique… So I am in no place to judge, don't sell yourself short, Thrud-san, you´re attractive in your own way"
-"Nghh" her eyes were watering, she had a deep blush on her cheeks, despite her muscular physique, her face was so cute "You" she grabbed him in a shattering hug "No one has ever told me that, you´re who I´ve been looking for my whole life!"
-"I" he was in pain "I mean, I was just being honest, and I already told you, I have a girlfriend, so I can´t be the one you´ve been looking for"
-"I know, and I would never try to break you two apart… Now, let's join and go out there!"
They were wrapped in a white light
At the arena
-"Now, let's move on to the 5th round!" Heimdall said
The public cheered
-"Who could have seen this one coming? Humanity has reached the gods, and now, the 5th fight has become the most important one so far, which side will take the lead? Let's make noise for the representative of the gods!"
The door for the gods opened, and from it, an stampede of elephants came out
And on the final elephant, there he was
-"This man" Heimdall said "He creates for fun, and can destroy the world on a whim! Make and break, break and fix… The whole world´s this man´s playground! No compromise! No consideration! All he wants to do is destroy, destroy, destroy!"
He jumped out from his elephant, and landed on the ground
-"God of Destruction! Bhaira of the Cosmos!... and the chief of the Hindu Pantheon…Shiva!"
-"About damn time" he stretched his arms "I got my turn"
The gods cheered for him
-"And now, let's introduce his opponent!"
The door for humanity opened, revealing Sakurai, he took one last breath in and let it out, then he started to walk into the arena
-"A shy soul that just wants to live an easy life. While his face may make him look like a dangerous person, he possesses a gentle soul, but not only that, he also hides a wild beast deep within him, and now, he's finally ready to release it in order to save those he loves!"
He stood in the middle of the arena
-"With the biggest hidden potential, he is… Shinichi Sakurai!"
Humanity cheered for him, he scratched his head, slightly embarrassed
-"Geez, quite the commotion"
-"You can do it, senpai!" someone yelled
Looking at the direction where that voice, he saw a short young woman with silver hair, she was his girlfriend Hana Uzaki, who was accompanied by his mother Haruko Sakurai, his father Shirou Sakurai, his younger sister Nodoka Sakurai, as well as his friends Itsuhito Sakaki, Ami Asai, and Akihiko Asai
He gave them a reassuring nod
-"The chief of the Hindu pantheon vs the shy lover with a hidden potential, who will win?!" with a signal of his hand, Heimdall marked the beginning "Fight!"
-"So, human" Shiva asked while cracking his knuckles "Where's your weapon?"
-"Sorry, but I am not really a weapon user, I´ll be using the only fighting style I know" he took his fighting stance, slightly flooding his arms and having them close to his chest "Judo, that is"
-"Judo? Never heard of that one, but I assume is a fighting style for hand to hand combat, and if that's the case" he had a bloodthirsty grin "That works for me"
Dashing at the young warrior, Shiva threw a left jab at him, using his upper left fist
Fortunately, Sakurai was able to swat it away with one of his hands
-"Hmm, not bad, here's another one" the god threw another jab, this time with his right lower fist
Once more, Sakurai swatted it away
-"Let's keep this up!" Shiva yelled
Increasing the speed of his attacks, Shiva can throwings jabs at Sakurai, who was somehow keeping up with the pace and swatting them away
-"Incredible!" Heimdall said "Shiva is delivering a barrage of hits against Sakurai, though he is able to swat them all away!"
The god kept applying pressure, Sakurai clenched his teeth
-"Just wait for an opening, don´t rush"
He kept waiting, more and more
Until
-"There!"
He stopped the god´s atack, by grabbing the left wrist of his upper left arm
-"Huh?" the gas somewhat surprised
-"Now!" Sakurai extended his left leg backwards "De Ashi Barai!" his leg began to emanate a bright yellow light
He moved his left at the god's ankle in a sweeping move, trying to make the god lose his balance
However, his attack was stopped by Shiva, who used his right lower hand
-"Is that really it?" the god sounded rather bored
-"Nope" Sakurai then planted his right feet on the god's waistline
-"What?!"
-"Here goes" he started to roll on his back, the same light being produced one more"Tomoe Nage!"
Doing this backwards roll, he lifted the god mid-air
-"Eh?" Shiva could not believe how easily was lifted
Sakurai let go on the god, who collided against the ground on his back
-"Gah!" Shiva screamed in pain, drops of blood leaving his mouth
-"What a demonstration of strength!" Heimdall said "Using a strange move, Sakurai lifted Shiva and threw it on his back, inflicting the first damage in this fight!"
Humanity cheered for Sakurai, while the gods were shocked at how someone as strong as Shiva was easily lifted and threw
Shiva was on the crater created by him impacting against the ground, looking at his opponent, who already stood up
-"That´s half a point for me, a Waza-ari as we call it on judo" Sakurai said
Impressed by his opponent´s prowess, Shiva smiled as he stood up, somewhat shaken by the attack
-"Not bad, human, I see that you truly are a fighter"
-"Fighter? Me?" he sounded rather annoyed "No, I just want an easy life"
And that´s the end of that, we meet some faces of humanity´s team, just what was Sakuta looking for? And what does Buddha want with him?
Next chapter, the battle, as well as the mystery, rages on
