Yugi knew that it would be better not to ask his Grandfather about the millennium armband until he knew more about it, after a couple of days he couldn't find anything until he saw Ariana in the corridor during lunch, she was talking to Rex,
"… and that's the best use for Uraby, unless you're playing with the right terrain then you could just use it to move straight in on lone monsters!"
"Thanks for the tips Ari! I better get moving," and he ran off.
She turned to them and smiled, Joey just asked,
"You know him?"
"Yeah, he's an old friend I knew since we were little."
Yugi gave her a confused look,
"Well, you should know he's easily corrupted!"
"The power of the orikalkos afflicted those with its darkness, who were tricked into believing Dartz's manipulations," she answered very wisely, then snapped back into reality, "Oops I have a class! See you guys later!"
Yugi looked at his own watch and realised they had class too! He and his friends hurried to Science, on the way he asked Yami something,
"What was that all about?"
"That was Amaya coming through; Ariana was momentarily given Amaya's wisdom in return for Ariana's inhibitions. Of course she returned to normal when the point was made."
Yugi shrugged and walked into Science, after spending the whole time hanging over a chemical tray he went of to English and all he could hear was laughing and clapping from the other classroom. The teacher rose and said,
"From what I hear next door is ready to present us with a preview to an event later this week."
They were ushered into the room next door and saw a group of students dressed up as different Duel Monsters, each wearing masks on a makeshift stage of tables. One dressed as Mystic Elf swept up,
"We all know that Duel Monsters is a defining part in our school right? Well this Friday we are having a Duelling tournament, were the best of our schools duellists come out to shine. As well as monsters…"
She walked off as a few monsters jumped up on stage; the main attraction was Saggi the Dark Clown being played by another girl, she did a short gymnastic floor routine across the stage and landed doing the splits,
"I may look funny," she did a purposely clumsy cartwheel and landed on her backside, making everyone laugh, "But I'm tougher than I look."
She then did a small sequence which made her look like she was fighting someone, then the Blue Eyes White Dragon tapped her on the shoulder, she yelped and tripped on one of the big shoes she was wearing. While everyone was still laughing, she quickly jumped back up and said,
"Make sure we see you at the tournament! We'll look forward to it!"
Later that day, Yugi heard a shrill nasal voice calling out commands to a Duel Monster. He followed the sound until he spotted Weevil Underwood duelling Ariana, they had obviously only just started because they were both on four thousand life points. Ariana had three cards on the field, one face down and two monsters he hadn't seen before, one was a sword and shield wielder in all ornate red armour. The other was an archer clothed in all white armour; Weevil had four cards on the field, two face down and one Kwagar Hercules and Petit Moth. Ariana spoke,
"Hm, well I could attack but first I have to find out or get rid of your face down cards. So I play, Mystical Space Typhoon to get the first of your face down cards."
One of the cards disintegrated on Weevil's side of the field, he struggled to keep a straight face as the card went to the Graveyard. Ariana smirked,
"Now, to power up my first monster, I play the red rose sword and equip it to my Lancastrian Swordsman. Giving it and extra six hundred extra attack points! Now my monster, attack petit moth! Red Rose Revenge!!"
The swordsman's sword glowed brilliantly as it charged towards the monster; it brought its sword around and sliced the petit moth in two. The monster disintegrated and Weevil glared at Ariana, who grinned back to spite him,
"And with that I end my turn."
Their duel had already attracted a crowd, so Yugi decided to try and find his way through so he could get a good view of this duel. It looked like it could be fun to watch Weevil get thumped by someone other than himself.
