3rd Person POV:

In the tournament locker room, Y/N can be seen preparing her arsenal as Ruby and Weiss approach the azure-eyed demigod.

Ruby: Looks like you're ready.

Y/N: (holsters her railgun rifle) Yeah, about as ready as I'll ever be.

Weiss: Are you nervous at all?

Y/N: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.

Ruby: S-So, are the people you're fighting really demigods like you?

Y/N: How could you tell?

Weiss: Your last opponent screaming his head off like an absolute psychopath might've tipped us off.

Ruby: Also, you've been acting really tense ever since they came over.

Y/N: You always could read me like an open book, Ruby. (faces them with a serious expression) Yes, these guys are part of the same group Sloth was in.

Y/N: And unlike Nagato, the other two are natural born demigods instead of artificially made.

Weiss: Artificial?

Y/N: I'm not sure how exactly they did it, but they managed to successfully infuse a mortal man with an Aura Affinity.

Ruby: "Aura Affinity"?

Y/N: I guess you could say they're the eight energies that make up the world. Wrath. Pride. Gluttony. Sloth. Envy. Lust. Greed. And finally Melancholy, which is my affinity.

Y/N: Basically, it means us demigods are simply these concepts taken form. Nagato was infused with an artificial affinity of Violence, where as the opponent I'm about to face off against has the natural born affinity of Greed.

Weiss: It all sounds so unbelievable, yet with everything you can do and the ancient ruins Ruby saw before, the pieces are starting to come together.

Y/N: I'm sorry, I held the truth from you and the others because I didn't want to stress you all out.

Weiss: I understand. (pats her head) You've always been like that.

Ruby: We already promise to keep it a secret until you decide to let the others know.

Y/N: Thanks.

Weiss: However, we need you to promise something in exchange.

Y/N: Hmm?

Ruby/Weiss: You better not die, otherwise...(points a finger gun at her)...Bang.

Y/N: (smiles) I got it.

Oobleck: (announcement) Would Y/N L/N please head over to the arena?

Y/N: I'm off. (waves goodbye to Ruby and Weiss, who both nod to each other before heading out)

Having finally made her way over to the tournament arena, Y/N stands before her opponent Jin, who simply forms a sadistic grin at her arrival.
