"Oi, you."

You lift your head up to see a brunette talking to you.

"Toshiki Kai, right? I saw a feature of you on Weekly Vanguard."

"Stop the small talk, let's cardfight."

"Alrighty then~!"

You pulled your deck box out of your pocket, revealing the insides, the _ clan. You seemed to relate to the deck's play style the most which is why you bought it.

You put your grade zero on the Vanguard Circle, and the game begins.

"Stand up,"

"The,"

"Vanguard!"

"Lizard Runner, Undeux!"

"_ _, _!"

"No guard." You said, sighing at the 5 damage you already have.

"Twin drive. First check, Critical trigger. Critical to Dragonic Overlord The End and the power to Nehalem. Second Check, no trigger."

"Damage check. First check, Heal Trigger! Power to my Vanguard and I recover one damage point! Second check, no trigger. I admit defeat. Good game."

"You're pretty strong. What's your name?"

"Just call me _."

"Someday I'll meet you again for another cardfight. So wait here, _. I'll be sure to remember that name."

"Alright~!"

"You're late."

The brunette looked at you and gave you his very rare smile. He took a seat in front of you and brought out his deck.

"How long has it been, _?"

"I waited 2 years for you, Kai. I've gotten stronger, so expect a game a lot better than last time." You said with a grin.

"We shall see, then."

"Let's go! Stand up,"

"The,"

"Vanguard!"
