Chapter 1:

'Argh'

Spitting out blood from his mouth, Shou glared at them.

"Of the Five Elements, Earth!"

Grinning wickedly, Shou pointed the Skill Card at the remaining opponent.

"BREAK!"

No sooner had he said the word, the ground started trembling. The opponent's Asset begin crumbling. With no Skill Cards left, the opponent watched in despair as the last of his Asset vanished. The siren sounded signalling the end of the Game.

'Winner, Mikage Shou'

"Hmph. Piece of cake" Shou said as he left the Board. "Challenge me again when you are better"

The sun has already set when he Returned. Time in the Real World started flowing again. As a Rule of the Board, time in the Real World stand still when a Caster is challenged to a Game. Shou sigh. This is his 10th winning in less than two weeks and it was boring. None of the Casters so far has post any difficulty for him.

'Like taking candy from a kid' Shou thought as he walked home.

Ayanagi High School Academy
Hallway / Classroom, 9.30am

Shou let out a yawn as he strolled casually down the hallway towards his homeroom. After reaching home, he had checked his phone to see if there are any Tasks or Challenge but found that the inbox was empty. To distract himself, he had stayed up late playing video games.

Sliding the class door open, Shou slowly walked towards his seat at the back of the class and let out another yawn.

'I'm tired' he thought as the teacher drone on and on about some math formula which absolutely made no sense to him. Deciding that it was pointless to continue listening, Shou look out the window at the white clouds passing by.

'SMACK'

Shou jumped and rubbed the back of his head. Looking up, he saw his childhood friend glaring at him with narrowed eyes.

"Ah. Morning Kana-ch-" was all Shou managed to get out just as another yawn cut him off.

"Again?! You have been sleeping the whole day and you're still tired?!" Kana scolded.

"Sorry" Shou said with a grin.

Kana let out an irritated 'humph' and said "Seriously, what have you been doing last night? Always coming to school yawning and sleeping through most of the lessons"

Shou turned away, avoiding looking at Kana. Silence descended upon the both of them. The sun was already setting, turning the sky into a beautiful amber orange colour.

Kana sigh and walked towards the door. Just before she stepped out of the classroom, Kana turned back and said in a sad tone, "You know, you can tell me anything. I'll listen"

The door slide close.

"Ya" Shou replied to the empty classroom.
