Chapter Two: A Rival in me?

Gao's POV

"Why are you happy about that?" I asked before Tasuku said he was glad to have been challenged/asked to have a fight outside of work "we're going to have to have it after school though" I said before a few teachers came out saying the same thing. "Thank you for agreeing to the fight and for the deck case" I said holding up the mentioned deck case making him laugh somewhat cockily in my opinion.

I was on a bench outside of the school building when Kuguru asked Drum how long he was going to stay in his normal form, I was going to mention it however I didn't really want to then. When he changed back I saw that Drum was envious and agitated over Jackknife's fame which almost made me laugh at him but I was trying to concentrate.

"It wasn't a challenge! I figured Tasuku wouldn't mind for some reason and turns out he didn't so no harm no foul" I said as I stared at my cards not really knowing how to build a deck. "I'm thinking of going to a deck builder since starting decks don't always work when you haven't fought before" I said surprising Kuguru and angering Drum.

I was walking outside trying to find Baku since we have a bet today, I had brought three lunches just in case I lost one and the other for our bet. "No I haven't here Baku" I said as I walked over to him giving him the lunch box and Drum a red one before eating mine.

Drum had eaten half of mine but I was still hungry so Kuguru gave me hers on the condition that Baku builds my deck "I don't mind but that's Baku's decision" I said before Baku said I wouldn't be able to handle his deck. I didn't argue since it was his decision but I was thankful when Kuguru got him to agree, her path wasn't darker from it in fact it became brighter.

"I know you are Drum but…" I said when Drum said Baku knows how awesome he is but I didn't finish it since it isn't his fault he doesn't remember me, it only means he isn't ready to take up being chief yet. "Baku? Can you add a card that allows me to fight with them instead of ordering them around all the time?" I asked starting a fight with Drum unintentionally.

"I want to fight with you not against you, I may still be giving suggestions but I still want to fight together" I said stopping Drum from retorting because of his pride that gets him into trouble. "I know about item cards that's why I asked Baku, there are reasons I'd rather fight with them" I said not answering when he asked what my reasons were.

"I've told you many times I didn't challenge I asked! Get it right" I said when Paruko got it mixed up again, I heard my sister tell me to beat him before Tasuku advised me not to get stage fright. "I'm fine Tasuku, I just hope we both have fun" I said before we both told each other good luck and Luminized our decks "Dragon Fury deck Luminize!" I exclaimed.

When Hanae mentioned how my belt looks like the sun I started my brother's speech for my sister, Tasuku, and Yato after I said 'I can't lose now' which surprised Tasuku when I said it. The fight started after our Buddies raised our flags, it was cool beings this is my first time actually being here, with my best friend no less.

Tasuku Charges and Draws before calling Jamadhar Dragon to the center before he slashes me bringing me down to eight points left, I called Thousand Rapier Dragon to the right and Systemic Dagger Dragon to the left leaving the center open so I can attach an item. I asked my friend on the right, who apparently recognizes me, to attack Jamadhar and he did before I asked Systemic to attack Tasuku with me.

I brought Tasuku down to five damage before he called Latale Shield Dragon to the center and casting Dragonic Charge most likely to set the stage for Gargantuan Punisher. He took out Systemic Dagger with Dragonic Shoot not surprising me since he's a strong fighter, taking out Rapier with Dragon Flame before finalizing his spell cards with Dragon Crush and Dragonic Grimoire.

He called Jackknife to the right giving himself another life point for Buddy Calling "give them what they want Jack" I heard Tasuku say before Jackknife attacked me bringing me down to five damage. Latale brought me down to three damage ending Tasuku's turn exciting everybody because he can summon Gargantuan Punisher soon but I won't let that happen.

For the next draw before I put Drum anywhere I have to decide how I'm going to play this next move, I got the right strategy to beat him even if I never intended to do that in the first place. I called him to the right apparently angering him because I didn't listen, I asked him to attack Latale which he hesitated against because he didn't like the plan I came up with.

I already thought he didn't have anything but a few interesting cards and I was correct since he equipped Dragoblade Dragofearless attacking me before Jackknife did the same but I called on the Green Dragon Shield protecting me from the hit and giving me a life point back. "I never said I didn't have a plan Drum, that wasn't luck that I put you there making me able to use that card" I said making him ask me what I'm going to do now.

"If I'm wrong then we can't win however that won't happen as long as I believe in myself and my companions" I said drawing again and getting the card I was looking for. I cast the Dragobrave Dragoblade and told Drum to attack first before I did ending the game and causing cheers to erupt from the crowd, I thanked Baku for building the deck thankful that he did.

Tasuku told me I was now his Buddy Fight rival giving me the card he wasn't able to use in the match, I picked it up and saw the eyes of the card before looking down to see it really is my card.
