Chapter Thirty-Seven: Return of the Tournament

Aichi's POV

I was looking at my cards knowing that the Card Shop Tournament starts tomorrow, I remember Kai telling me that I'll get stronger after he gave me my phone back. 'I'm going to repay them for losing like I did and I'm going to show Kai I'm not weak' I said in my head before I asked my Royal Paladins if they would help me.

I saw Soul Saver Dragon's eye glow red before I was on Cray, I was in the air for a second before I floated down touching the ground. I heard the flapping of wings before I looked to my right to see Soul Saver Dragon perching himself on a cliff's edge.

I saw another one perch themselves on the ledge, this one being an evergreen color instead of a dark blue color. I heard them roar saying that I should use them, that I'll win with them, which was something I missed hearing.

I was back in my room smiling at my Units thanking them for that, this is my PSY Qualia not Daichi's. My PSY Qualia allows me to see which Unit I win with or which Unit I lose against, it doesn't show me the way to win or makes it to where I will.

I heard a knock at my door 'Emi was calling you down for dinner you didn't answer her' I heard Blaster Blade tell me before I got up opening the door. Before she could say anything I apologized telling her I was building my deck for the Card Shop Tournament at Card Capitol tomorrow.

I asked her why she was anxious before she said it was nothing making me tilt my head when I looked at her.

Time Skip: Next Day at Card Capitol

I was standing to the left of Kai who was only slightly behind me and to the right of Kamui who was slightly in front of me. I heard Shin say that we're currently full and that before we start the Tournament he's going to introduce the team that brought his small shop to the Nationals.

I smiled at the group of people in front of us who were cheering when Shin asked if they were up to the challenge of beating Team Q4. I heard Kamui about to say something before I covered his mouth with my hand "don't Kamui, it's mean to say that" I told him knowing he was going to tell them to give up.

I heard Shin say that each group will be divided into Blocks A and B and will be using their Standing Cardfight Tables before Shin pointed to the TV behind us. He said that the teams that win from each Block will face each other in the Final Round.

Misaki said that our group was in Block B so I thanked her for telling me seeing her nod before Kamui said something about Emi and dedicating all his wins to her unmatched beauty. "I don't know if she's going to be here today, when I mentioned the Shop Tournament being today she got nervous" I told him making him freak out.

I asked what was wrong since I know he's not okay before I heard Reiji say that I should get my sister because we'll be doomed if Kamui can't play. I shook my head saying that I didn't know if she'll be here I never said she wouldn't.

Kamui said that she'll always be in his heart and that he knows Emi believes in him whole heartedly. He told us to stand aside because he'll lead our team to victory before I looked around for Morikawa and Izaki.

'I wonder if they're making a team together and if that was why she was anxious?' I thought before I heard Shin say that we'll need to decide the fight order. "Are you going to play Kai?" I asked him before he said that we should be able to fight on our own making me see anger where his mouth should be making me look down.

He said he was going to watch before I covered Kamui's mouth when he was about to yell at Kai "don't Kamui" I said hearing Misaki say Kai's a jerk but he's right. "He's not a jerk he just can't express emotions around people well" I said before I took my hand off of Kamui's mouth, I had said and done all of that without taking my eyes from the ground.

I heard Kamui say that we'll win without him and I nodded before they asked what was wrong making me shake my head saying I'm fine. Misaki said that we'll have to win on our own with only three players after I told them I was fine but her tone was worried.

I heard Shin say that we should have a moment of silence for those that couldn't participate but the moment wasn't even that long, less than a second. I heard him say that the Card Shop Tournament is under way before I started my match.

I rode Blaster Blade causing an uproar before I won my game, the next was between Kamui and another player. I heard Kamui say that Ashura Kaiser attacks ending the game with a win for us and causing the opposition that Kamui was fighting to wail in anger.

I sighed wondering what Emi was so worried about before I heard Misaki say that another 7000 Power was added to CEO Amaterasu attacking the opposition ending the Cardfight with a win for our side. I activated Akane's ability searching through my deck for Pongal Superior Calling him and winning the game.

I heard Kamui say that he attacks someone with Mr. Invincible winning the game and winning us Block B. "We made it to the Final Round at least but I have an uneasy feeling about this" I said before Kamui read the winner of Block A.

'Was Team Overthrow even in Block A' I thought when I heard Kamui say that the Block A winner is Team Overthrow. "There's a sheet covering that corner" I said before the sheet dropped revealing Morikawa in Mr. Mark's Ninja costume.

I saw clouds moving before I heard a kid who really liked Mr. Mark say that this one seemed different making me feel bad for him. Morikawa said he was the new and improved Ninja Master M and that he brought his friends with him.

Izaki appeared in what I think is a Feudal Lord's costume before he said he's a Feudal Lord and Taishi appeared saying he's unsure what he's supposed to be. "I think you're supposed to be a Chancellor" I suggested before I heard Misaki say that explains the package.

"You mean the bundle Mr. Mark gave you the last Shop Tournament?" I asked her before she said that it was Shin's idea. I saw Shin skate past saying that power and intelligence were key commodities in ancient times making me sigh.

'Only the strong and wise could rise up against the opposition' Shin continued but I tuned out the rest wondering if Kai was mad at me. I heard Misaki say that she knew he'd pull a stunt like this making me shrug before I heard Shin say that this is going to be fun in a nervous tone and his color showed that as well.

I heard Kamui tell me that Misaki's fighting Morikawa the loser which I sighed at again because he shouldn't say that, I could've covered his mouth but I needed to here who was first. I heard Morikawa say something but I didn't hear what it was because I really didn't want to hear him make little sense before Shin said that Team Q4's Misaki Tokura is going against the new Master M.

I heard Morikawa stand Stealth Beast and Misaki stand God Hawk before Morikawa got a yellow card for saying that he drew Grade 3 when he's not supposed to. I heard him mumble something about his enthusiasm betraying him which is very true.

I told Kamui that I was going over to the wall hearing him say that he wishes he could join me before I went over to the wall and leaned on it putting my head back to stare at the ceiling. I heard Misaki say that she was going to search her deck for Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi and I thanked PSYGuard for giving me enhanced hearing.

Despite what I keep saying I am somewhat thankful for a few things PSYGuard did to me but the rest I hate them for: agility, enhanced hearing, faster running capabilities, and being able to find Kai is what I'm thankful to them for. I chuckled when I heard Taishi say that they'll get kicked out of the Tournament if Morikawa isn't careful which is true but if that happens the game will likely be null and void.

I heard Misaki ride Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi making me shake my head at Morikawa when I heard him say something that all Ninjas should do, hide their weapons till they're needed and trick their opponents into thinking they won. I heard Misaki call Red Eye before I heard her tell Morikawa that Tsukuyomi attacks with support from Gemini.

I heard Shin say that the winner of the match is Misaki Tokura before I got off the wall with a sigh, I heard Shin say after a while that the next one to fight is Kamui Katsuragi before I bent down asking him if I could go back to the wall. "Are you okay Aichi? You're not as cheery today" I heard him ask and I nodded saying that I just didn't get enough sleep last night before he nodded.

I went over to the wall recognizing the voice making me smile because I knew she was on their team and that was why she was anxious, I just don't know why she wouldn't tell me she was playing in the Tournament. I knew from his stuttering when they were supposed to stand the Vanguard that Kamui was going to lose.

After a while I heard Kamui get out of his state of mind when Eiji say that if he doesn't smarten up he's going to lose. I heard him ride Ashura Kaiser before he called his Army Guy hearing him say he was going to Counterblast to release Jack.

I heard him say Jack was going to attack Top Idol, Flores with a boost from Army Guy, Emi said that Lozenge Magus guards the attack. I heard Kamui say that Shining Lady gives support to Army Lady in an attack but I heard him apologize to her for it because he wants to go to the Championship and something else.

I heard Emi do a Damage Check before I heard she drew a Heal Trigger which wasn't really a surprise and neither was Kamui saying that it was a relief that she got it. Emi had Caravel leave the field so she can call Sakuya before I heard her say that Flores attacks with support from Gemini.

Kamui said that he doesn't need to guard and from what I remember from hearing the match he only has three cards in the Damage Zone. I heard Emi check the Twin Drive before I heard her get a double Critical which I know Kamui is conflicted about from the 'that's so great' but he sounded hesitant when he said it.

I asked Michael if I was going to win in the next match hearing him say I was going to win every match until I have to go against Kai with that one being interrupted. I nodded thanking him in my head before I heard Shin say the winner of the match is the Princess Maiden before I walked through the crowd and over to Kamui and Misaki.

I heard Misaki sigh when I heard Eiji say that Kamui's a traitor because he wants to use a Bermuda Triangle Deck from now on instead of the Nova Grapplers. I looked up at Miwa smiling at him before I asked how I could win against him with a confused expression as I tilted my head.

"How'd you even know you were playing me?" he asked as he walked up to the opposite side of the Standing Cardfight Table. "Reasons" I said before I said that it was also reasons that I knew I was going to win against him.
