PROLOUGE
"Jack, you're going off now?"
"It won't be long," my brother told me. "I'll be back before dinner. Let's go, Jackknife Dragon!"
Javk hopped on his buddy, Jackknife Dragon and soared away. It's his first day being the captain of the 104th squad in the Buddy Police and he had been talking about it all the time. Obviously, he's very excited about it.
"Yang, you're going to be late for school!" Mother's voice echoed through the hall. I closed the front door and ran for the dining room.
After my last bite of toast, I swung my bag to my back and hurried for school. I decided to run so I have enough time to go to my regular card shop to bang some packs.
"Morning, Yang!" A voice called from behind. A tall, cheerful girl with long black hair was running beside me when I turned.
"Oh, morning, Joey." I said while continued running. "So, looking forward for your buddy?"
"Yeah," Joey sighed. "To be honest, we're the only two that doesn't have a buddy in class."
I gave a soft laugh, it's true indeed. My school, Rai Academy is the only school around the area that allows their buddies to roam around.
Speaking of my area, my area is a place where Future Card Buddyfight exists in every corner. Or you can say, my area wouldn't exist without Buddyfight.
So in my class, most of my classmates have their buddies already (talking about luck, or is it just me?). From Dragon World, Danger World to Katana World, there's a large variety of buddies.
In addition, the card shop I mentioned earlier is in my school. So students usually check in that place.
"So," Joey asked. "What world you're in?"
"Dragon!" I replied almost immediately. "I wanted to be like my brother!"
"Well, that's obvious." Joey smiled. "I preferred playing Magic World though… here we are!"
We rushed into school and entered the card shop. Through numerous investigations, the shop is less crowded before classes begin. So, we frequently buy packs that time and open them during break.
"Hey!" the shopkeeper waved at us. "Wanted to try your luck again?"
"You bet!" I smiled. "The usuals, please."
The shopkeeper handed us five Dragon World and Magic World packs and we paid. Just then, the shopkeeper's son, Mark entered.
"Hey guys!" Mark had the same smile as his father's. "If you had your buddy, I can build a deck for you, okay?"
Mark's my best friend, and he's officially the best deckbuilder in our grade. He builds the deck according to the player's suitable playstyle, and always gives away cards for free.
"If you guys are planning to stand there forever…" Mark pulled us out of the small shop. "…we are going to be late! Classes are starting!"
"Shit!" Joey and I shouted at the same time, stuffing the packs in our bags and ran as fast as we could.
