Here's what we got for another short chapter, but this one has an important interaction between Hiccup and one of the key characters of this story. One who will help push Hiccup to be a greater Duelist and a more confident person. So, I hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

Hiccup's registration into the tournament was completed with no real problems on his part. He showed his entry card to the referee and was now in the locker room going over the cards in his deck. Scrounging through the garbage for cards was a lot harder than just buying them in packs, so he really didn't have much to work with.
Among the cards in his deck were the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, the Serpent Night Dragon, Gagaga Magician, a copy of Wonder Wand, Zubaba Knight and Ganbara Knight, Kurivolt, the Spell Card, Double or Nothing, and a Trap card known as Gagagashield.
And in his extra deck was this strange card he's never seen before. It was given to him by the Card Shop owner before he retired and his son took over. A one of a kind monster known as an XYZ monster. It's name is Number 39: Utopia.
Honestly, though, Hiccup wasn't so sure how great his chances were going to be in this tournament with a hodgepodge deck like this one. He needed better cards if he was going to do well in this tournament. But he had no money to buy any packs, and even if he did, it's too late to go buy some and rebuild his deck now!
'What should I do? If I don't do well enough with this deck, I might never become a pro Duelist!'
"You seem to be a bit troubled." said a voice that every duelist would recognize.
Hiccup looked up from his cards and saw that it was none other than one of the greatest Duelists in the world, and one of his personal heroes, Seto Kaiba. The very same Kaiba who founded and owns Duel Academy, and the sole owner of all three Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards.
"Whoa, uh, Se-Se-Seto Kaiba! What are, what are you doing here?" stuttered Hiccup as he tried to keep a hold of his deck.
Apparently, Hiccup's antics amused Kaiba, as he cracked a grin at the young lad.
"Why else would I be here? I came to compete in the tournament. But aside from that, I'm here to test a new duel system for the Duel Monsters Solid Vision Holograms. With this new method of dueling, I hope to open up the gateway to a whole new world of dueling." Kaiba explained.
He then held out his hand and asked to see Hiccup's deck. And although the boy didn't want to reveal his cards before the actual dueling began, he complied anyway. Kaiba looked through the cards in Hiccup's deck and was mildly surprised to see these particular cards in the deck. These looked like cards that most people would throw out without a second thought.
"Your deck looks good, but I can see significant room for improvement." Kaiba commented.
He handed Hiccup back his deck and asked "Where exactly did you find the cards you built your deck with?"
"Oh, well, I um… I scavenged them from various trash bins and dumpsters back in my hometown. I mean, even cards like these can be good, if used correctly." Hiccup explained.
He was a bit embarrassed that he had to admit to fishing cards out of the trash, but Kaiba didn't seem all that disgusted. Instead, he brought out his suitcase and set it on the bench before opening it up. It revealed a bunch of rare and powerful cards along with two strange looking Duel Disks that are a model that Hiccup has never seen before.
"If that's the case, kid, then I challenge you to an exhibition duel here and now!" Kaiba declared.
Hiccup looked at Kaiba in surprise and saw a challenging look on the man's face.
"With two conditions. First, you must use several of these cards to boost the power of your dueling deck. The second condition? You will be the one to help me test this new duel system and show the world just how much the world of Duel Monsters is evolving."
Hiccup honestly didn't know what to say. On one hand, he'd get to enhance his deck and better his chances of getting farther in the tournament. But on the other hand, Kaiba's a pro when it comes to Duel Monsters. Still, Hiccup wasn't going to waste this opportunity.
"You got a deal, mister Kaiba! Give me a few minutes to enhance my deck, and we'll get this exhibition match started!"
With that said, Hiccup started looking through the cards in the case so he could find some that will help him in the duel. Question is: how will he defeat the likes of Seto Kaiba?
