Chapter 17: Past.

Tecaher : Students. In a few months, School Prelims are about to begin.

Students : It's that time of the year already.

What are school Prelims . They are the first step to becoming a champion like Sting.

Pansy : Hey Excel will you take part .

Boy : Hey Pansy. Just look who you are asking.

Aria: Excel, You will take part, right ?

Excel : I don't wanna.

Izanagi : Why won't you take part ?

Excel : I just don't wanna.

Boy : See. How will a weakling take part in the prelims.

Luck : Hey, Excel why don't you take part.

Student : Will Excel take part ?

What seemed to be a taunt became a discussion of the whole class ?

Teacher : Everyone. Please stop. Let Excel decide by himself .

Pansy : Excel take part .

Aria: Excel. I know you can beat them easily. Like you did to those kidnappers .

Excel : ( annoyed ) Tsk. Fine. I will take part.

Timeskip: Lunch Break

Izanagi : Why do you hide your real strength ?

Excel : Why do you need to know.

Aria: Yeah. Excel why ?

Pansy : Tell us.

Excel : Promise.

Aria: Whom did you promise?

Excel : A girl.

Pansy : Another girl.

Aria: (angry) And who was she ? I want to know.

Excel : I won't tell. It's a thing of the past .

Izanagi: Thing of the past .

Aria: Now I want to know more.

Pansy: Aria. Don't push him .

Aria : Sorry .

Excel : Fine. I will tell you half of it .

Aria: Really .

Excel : 7 years back. I was involved in an experiment. With me there were 5 more. We cared for each other. But still we couldn't resist their torture. So we decided to run .

Aria : That's horrible.

Pansy : Excel. I didn't knew you had such a difficult childhood.

Excel : We were just about to escape. But they caught us . Everyone of them was able to escape .

Aria : You escaped. Then what happened.

Excel : They caught me. But still I was happy. The others were able to escape. Then a few years back. I was doing something horrible. Then I saw her. She wanted to stop me but I didn't care at all. I was hungry for power.

Izanagi : Hungry for power. I see.

Excel : Then, I attack her. I still remember a small girl with brown hair. She told not yo harm them. That's when I realized. What I was doing was wrong. From that day onwards I vowed not to unnecessarily use power. I won't kill anyone.

As Excel was finishing his story. There was years in his eyes.

Aria : Excel are you crying.

Excel : Shut up.

Then, suddenly all three of the girls hugged him. They were on top of the rooftop.

Pansy : I don't get it. Then why did you decided to take part in the prelims.

Excel : I want to find them. I want to make sure they are still alive. Even if it means to use my real powers.

Aria : I hope that you find them.

The bell rings.

Excel : Sign this.

Excel puts a form on the desk .

Yomikawa : So, you have decided to.

Excel : Yeah.

After sighning , Excel went to his room yo sleep .

In the morning he heard a moan.

Izanagi : Why do you always go for my chest. There are other areas you know .

Excel : That's not what a goddess says you idiot.

For some reason Izanagi blushed .

Excel : Why are you red ? If you have woken up then get up .

Izanagi : Yeah .

Excel does not knows this, but in the realm of gods. She is not accepted as a goddess . They make fun of her .

In school, Excel have the form to his teacher .

Katz: Huh. You will take part . A free win for a lucky person .

Katz is expecting Excel to lose. But how will it all go. Will he find his friends.
