Hey guys, I'm back with the next chapter of Ready, Set, Go! I'm sorry for the slight wait for it, currently I've been catching up on watching anime for the holidays. Today is my birthday! XD Yay! This chapter will show what duel is about and will show Nagisa and Karma playing the mode together.
I made this chapter a bit long for you guys!
Nagisa woke up the next day, it was Saturday now and he had slept in. Nagisa made some breakfast and watched some TV while he ate. When he finished he realised that he hadn't checked his phone and went back to his room to find it. He turned it on and was shocked at how many messages he had. He had 5 messages! The first 4 were from Karma;
'Hey Nagisa, do you want to try out the other mode on Ritsu's game? What was it called, duel or something?'
The next text was sent a few minutes after the first;
'Oi, are you even awake?'
'I bet you're not.'
'Anyway, I'll log on at 10:30am, we'll try the mode then.'
Nagisa checked the time, it was currently 9:30am, so he still had a while before he was going to play with Karma on the game. The next text was from Kayano;
From Kayano: 'Hey Nagisa! Karma told me you guys were going to try out the other mode on the game, I found out that there is an option to spectate the duels, so expect me to be there watching!'
Nagisa didn't know that there was that feature and smiled at the fact that she wanted to watch. Nagisa logged on to the game and checked who was online, the only people who were there were Terasaka and his group of friends. Nagisa turned the game off and changed out of his pyjamas. He replied to Karma and Kayano and watched some more TV until it was time to meet Karma in the game.
He went to the duel mode and a notification came up that Karma had requested a duel with him. Nagisa pressed accept and the screen popped up with Karma's character in front of him. The game was set in their classes PE training grounds. Nagisa plugged in his headphones and heard Karma on the over end,
"Sup?"
"Not much, do you know how this mode works?"
"Nope-" Karma's voice was cut off by Kayano suddenly shouting in her super happy voice,
"HEY GUYS!"
'A spectator player has joined the room'
Nagisa and Karma fell out of the chairs they were sitting in, once they got back up Karma spoke to Kayano, "Don't yell into the microphone! You just killed my ears!"
"Teehee, sorry~."
Nagisa rubbed his ears, "Jeez…"
Karma went back to talking to Nagisa, "The only thing I know about this mode is that the two characters fight."
"Great…" Nagisa sighed.
Nagisa made his character look around, behind him was the classroom and he saw Kayano's character sitting and watching far off to the left, she seemed to be holding something though,
"Kayano, what are you holding?"
"It's sort of like a camera, I can use it to zoom in on you guys, since I'm so far away and I can't move."
"I found out how to use weapons!" Karma's character was now holding an anti-sensei knife.
"How?"
They went through the steps until Nagisa and Karma both knew how to get weapons out and use them.
Kayano watched, "Are you guys going to start now?"
"Wait a bit Kayano, we are now checking out our skills and stats." Karma said irritably.
"Ooooh, read them out!"
Karma smirked, "It also says my duelling style is mischievous." He chuckled.
"For the statistics; there are strength, speed, and technique. Each is out of five, I've got 4 strength, 4 speed and 5 technique."
Kayano gasped, "Those scores are so good! Nagisa what are yours?"
Nagisa didn't answer.
"Nagisa?"
"M-my scores don't really matter do they, can't we just play?"
Karma smirked, "Nagisa~ Tell us your scores!"
"Uh… Fine! But don't laugh!"
"Okay!" Kayano agreed.
Karma grumbled in the background.
"Okay for speed and technique I got 3.5 and for strength I … got … 2."
Karma burst out laughing.
"Karma!"
Karma was still laughing. Nagisa sighed, "Well excuse me, Mr Perfect Scores."
"Karma I want to see how the mode works, calm down." Kayano tried to make him stop laughing.
Karma eventually stopped laughing, but Nagisa and Kayano could still hear him occasionally snicker.
Kayano decided to change the subject, "Is there anything else where you found those statistics?"
"I have special moves." Karma explained.
"Ooooh, what are they?!" Kayano was excited.
"I'm not telling you, it's a secret until I use them."
"Meanie! Nagisa do you have a special move?"
"Um, not exactly…"
"What does that mean?!"
"They're not really a 'moves' more like a skill, I guess. I have one special move though and it is so stupid, I'm not explaining it."
"Hmm… Whatever, just start already."
"Okay so how do we start the duel?" Nagisa asked.
"I have a button on the top of my screen to start it." Karma answered.
"What's the aim of the duel?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm guessing you can end the game by disarming your opponent or making them pass out or something."
"Are we allowed in the classroom?"
"No, but I heard from Ritsu that we are allowed on the roof."
"Cool."
"Okay, I'm going to press start, you watching Kayano?"
"Yep."
"You ready Nagisa?"
"Yeah."

Duel Start!
Karma charged at Nagisa and Nagisa dodged. They both had anti-sensei knives drawn. Karma swiped at Nagisa and Nagisa ducked, Karma saw the opportunity and swung his leg and tripped Nagisa over. Then suddenly Karma stood behind Nagisa with his knife to his neck.
Karma Wins!
Kayano blinked, 'Well, that was quick.'
"Karma!"
"Let's go again!"
The countdown began again and this time they went for hand to hand combat. Karma punched at Nagisa's shoulder, he dodged and moved behind him. Nagisa punched Karma's back but it had no effect.
Nagisa whined and Karma smirked.
Nagisa jumped back as Karma crouched and spun with his leg. Karma ran at Nagisa and he ran the other way, Karma caught up to Nagisa and grabbed him from behind and he fell to the ground. A button on Karma's screen appeared saying, 'Special move 1.' He clicked it and Karma axe kicked Nagisa in the stomach. Karma looked at the screen shocked.
Karma Wins!
"I'm so sorry Nagisa, I did not mean to do that."
"I-it's okay." Nagisa was shocked too, he knew that Karma would never do that to him, so he knew that the game was unrealistic in some parts.
"We'll need to talk to Ritsu about this…"
"Agreed."
"What are you two talking about?" Kayano asked. The two boys had actually forgotten Kayano was watching until then.
"There are just some bugs that we need to tell Ritsu about for her to fix."
"Oh."
Nagisa and Karma stopped duelling after that and Nagisa said goodbye to Kayano and Karma and he left the game. He spent the rest of his weekend, either relaxing or studying.
On Monday before school, Nagisa talked to Ritsu with Karma.
"Good morning Nagisa, Karma. How can I help you?"
"We want to point out a bug we found in the game you created." Nagisa said.
"Oh, please tell me and I'll get right away to fixing it."
Karma continued from there, "Well, for the duels there is somethings you haven't taken into account for the characters. It's the feelings of the characters, like their relationship with each other."
"Ah, I see. I'll fix it right away, thank you for telling me. Is there anything else you need before I go?"
"No that was it, thank you Ritsu."
Her screen turned off and some of the other people in the classroom who had been listening turned around and faced the other way. Koro sensei flew into the classroom and classes started.
Ritsu finished her fixing the game by the end of the day and updated the game, she also added some new features. One of which was having it again on their phones, which gave Sugino an idea. He called over some of his group of friends at the end of the day and invited them to a get together at his place the next day to play the game together. Most of the people agreed. Everyone went home and Sugino talked with Nagisa and Karma about the get together since they were going.
