Arata stood with his legs open and his arms crossed, bending the wooden chair as he leans back. "A tournament you say? Well have fun, do I need to sign anything for you?"

"Well yes, but I want you to come with me!" Said Enko excitedly.

"What!? Enomoto I don't play Gi-Yo-Uh or whatever is called anymore." Said Arata lighting up his cigarette. "That was a long time ago."

"Come oooooooooooon! Pleaaaaaaaaaase!" Said Enko pleading.

"I said no, stop whinning." Replied Arata.

"Hmmm... At least come with me, you still need to sign the entrance." Said Enko looking down.

"sigh Okay, grab your jacket is cold outside." Said Arata standing up. "Where's that tournament taking place at?"

The tournament was being held inside the Silver Tower, the city's pride and joy, a tremendous spire of glass shinning even beyond the clouds. The entrance was as expected full of duelists of all ages, and in the crowd Enko spotted Tsutsumi's fluffy pink hair.
"Enkooooooooo!" Screamed Tsutsumi with his usual shine. "We're heeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeee!" Tsutsumi was accompanied by the usual group, but Enko was the only one joined by an adult. "Oh! Arata-san, long time no see!"

"Oh, Tachimukai-san, nice to see you. So you're Enko's new friend group."

"I mean if you want to call it that." Said Athena. "Are you his dad?"

"Legal tutor yes." Said Arata. "Okay were do I need to sign?"

"Here here!" Said Enko flailing a paper infront of Arata. "Put your signature riiiight here."
Arata signed without thinking twice. "And then you give it to that lady over there, that's my participation papers."

"Fine." Said Arata, clueless. Once he got to the recepcionist, he was greeted by a young lady in uniform, asking for the paper in his hand.

"Okay sir it's all good to go, you'll see the confirmation on this screen right now." Said the lady feeding the signed paper into the scanner beside her. After a few seconds of waiting, Arata expected to see Enko's information, only to see his face pop on the screen.

/Duelist name: Arata Sleed/Current age: 25/Last registered duel: 25th January 2105/Years as duelist: 5/Assigned block: A/

"WHAT!?" Screamed Arata. "ENOMOTO KEIKO, I SWEAR TO GOD! I DON'T EVEN HAVE A FUCKING DECK!"

"Well yes you do! I brought this wooden box here!" Said Enko smiling.

"5 years? You're going in our same category." Said Kazuki.

"Category?" Asked Enko clueless. "Wait we aren't going all together?"

"No you silly goose." Said Oki. "You're going in the B block, for new players. We are going in the A block, for duelists with 1 or more years of experience."

"Whaaaaaaaaat? But..." Said Enko shocked.

"Too bad I won't get to finish what I started." Said Masaki as cold as always. "We should get going, I don't know if there's a duelist limit." One by one the group starting entering the building.

/Duelist name: Masaki Tatsuya/Current age: 15/Last registered duel: 1st December 2115/Years as a duelist: 6/Assigned block: A/

/Duelist name: Enomoto Keiko/Current age: 14/Last registered duel: 1st December 2115/Time as a duelist: 3 days/Assigned block: B/

The hall of the tower was full of luxury, heated seats, a big fountain in the middle, all lighted perfectly, it looked like a palace. Enko was eager to start, to prove he could be a good duelist. All 20 duelists were in that hall, 10 for each block. After a while, a nice dressed man appeared on the central elevator, speaking with a heavy french accent. "Good evening duelists, I'm Grisolle, one of Industrial Illusions chairmen and organizer of the tournament. Okay, there's four elevator on both sides, two for block A and the others for block B; we have randomly selected the pairings so please enter your correspondent elevator when you're called, the left side is for Block A and the right side is for Block B. There will be one duel a day for each block, and attendants can stay the night in the multiple luxury rooms on the silver tower, please enjoy the games!"

"You should go with your block, Keiko." Said Masaki. "We'll meet in the dinning room after the duels are over." Masaki and the rest went to the Block A hall, and Enko was greeted by block B.

"MA-MAJIMA-SENSEI?" Said Enko.

"My kids are really into this... I want to give them that custom card." Said Majima-sensei.

"Oh..." Enko was to shocked to speak, his stoic teacher here with him in a cards game tournament. "And the others?"

"I couldn't care less, I'm not interested in idle chat." Said Majima standing up from the hall's couch. "Although that guy in the hoodie seems suspicious."

Enko took notice of that person, a guy around Enko's height wearing a hoodie, although it looked more like a ragged cloth he wrapped around him. As the other ones talked, Enko approached the hooded guy, hoping for some small talk.

"Bunch of nerds Imma right?" Said Enko sitting down and slapping his knee. "The name's Enomo-"

"Mind your business." Said the hooded figure. "The first duel is in the block A, so leave me alone."

"Emm... Ma-Majima-sensei, how's the kids doing?" Asked Enko running away from the hooded guy.

"Oh so in all my classes you're silent to me but NOW you talk." Majima started lecturing Enko, but the speakers of the building called on the first two duelists; Tsutsumi Tachimukai and Natalia Obregón, from block A.

"Good luck Tsutsu-chan!" Said Kazuki doing a heart shape with her fingers. As Tsutsumi entered the elevator, Masaki couldn't help but notice something.

"Isn't it weird how we haven't seen the other ones? I mean, the participants are supposed to be together on this hall but here we are, all of us alone."

"That name is really familiar... I swear I've heard it on TV at once." Pondered Oki.

"Yeah Tsutsumi Tachimukai, kind of a long name if you ask me but he's a good guy." Said Arata. Everyone decided to ignore him an instead focus on the TV, where the simulation was going to be broadcasted.

/WELCOME EVERYONE WATCHING AT HOME, IT'S ME, GARDIUS! WELCOME TO THE FIRST DUEL OF THE SILVER TOURNAMENT! ON THIS EVENING OUR GUESTS ARE TSUTSUMI TACHIMUKAI, A BOY FROM THE CITY WITH A HEART OF GOLD AND A DECK OF PURE STEEL, FACING AGAINST... COLOMBIAN CHAMPION AND SEMI FINALISTS OF THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, NATALIA OBREGÓN!/

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?" Screamed the whole group, except Arata.

"Tsutsumi... Good luck." Said Athena worried.

The stadium they were on was quite unusual, a black room with two virtual displays for the duelists. The room appeared to be dome, made of hexagonal panels. The elevetor left them exactly on their spots, and the field between them lighted with a dark blue hue. Tsutsumi's rival was a blonde tall women with tan skin, her white tank top not covering her arms, twice as big as Tsutsumi's. "¡Buena suerte chico!" Said Natalia doing the peace signs with her hands. Tsutsumi did the piece sign too and threw a big smile... Tsutsumi didn't speak a single word of spanish. Before starting the duel, some VR goggles were handed to the duelists, letting them begin.

/Starting Duel/

"¡Mi turno!" Said Natalia. "I activate my field spell, Magikey Unsealing!" Suddenly, the field turned into an echoing chamber similar to a chaper, with a light greenish blue light coming from the dome above. "Now, I add 1 Magikey monster to my hand!" The card descended from the light above, and with a swift movement she caught it from the air. "Now, yo te invoco, Rilliona, the Magistus of Verre!" Again, from the light above a girl in an extravagant white witch dress came, sitting on a swing as immaculate as she is. "When Rilliona is summoned, I can add one Magistus spell or trap to my hand; Trismagistus!" A book appeared on her hands, old, big and dusty, hovering on the air above his left hand, opening by itself. "Using Trsimagistus, I can summon 1 level 4 spellcaster from my hand once per turn. ¡Sal a jugar, Zoroa the Magistus of Flame!" The light above turned red, and the ground lighted ablaze. On the scorched patch of fire, a red haired fire wizard appeared, Zoroa.

"COME ON TSUTSUMI DON'T LET HER INTIMIDATE YOU!" Screamed Enko at the TV.

"Now, ¡Sincronía! I summon Vahram, the Magistus Divinity Dragon in DEF position!" using both her monsters, Natalia called upon the skies usin the Trismagistus, filling the chamber in a strong light, and from it emerged a red colourful dragon, flashing its blue feathers as a sign of supremacy. "Vahram flames are eternal! I activate Vritra Magistus, summoning a Magistus monster from my graveyard, Zoroa, come back!" Vahram roared, creating a sign of fire on the ground, from which Zoroa emerged again. "Tu turno chico." Said Natalia pointing at Tsutsumi with passion.

"Draw! The fire doesn't scare me, I activate Interrumpted Kaiju slumber!" The ground shook with violence. "I can destroy as many monsters on the field as possible and summon a Kaiju monster on each side of the field! Gamaciel to you, and for you, Super Anti Kaiju War Machine Mecha Thunder King!" The earthquake shattered the Magistus, and it's place both gigantic monsters appeared, breaking the chamber's pilars. "Now, I activate Graceful-"

"¡Las llamas chico! Vahram destroys everything you posses if you awake his anger! Thanks for the monster though!" Gamaciel erupted into flames, shattering.

"Ugh... doesn't matter! Graceful charity!" Three glowing cards appeared on Tsutsu's hand, and two of the other cards shattered. Since you activated Varahm's effect in my turn, I can activate... Triple Tactics Talents, haha!" The object depicted on the card appeared on Tsutsu's hand. giving him two other cards when flailed around. "(Come on Tsutsumi this always works.)Paying 1000 Life Points I activate Summon Dice!"

/Dice Result: 5/

"Not what I expected but I can work with it! Now, I can summon one high level monster without tributing! Gizmek Kaku, the Supreme Shinning Sky Tag!" An enormous mechanical deer burst through the wall, breaking even more of the chamber. "I set three cards then activate card of demise!" A guillotine took hold of Tsutsu's hand, and 4 more cards appeared on his hand. "Gizmek Kaku, Red Lightning Blaster!" The horns of Tsutsu's monster glowed red, zapping and shattering Mecha Thunder King. "And since Mecha Thunder King is in my graveyard, I can special summoning it when ending my turn!" One card shattered on Tsutsu's hand due to card of variation and his turn finally ended.

/Natalia's remaining Life Points: 3450/

"¡Mi turno! I activate Unexpected Dai, summoning Clavkiys, the Magikey Skyblaster from my deck! Not only that, I summon another Clavkiys from my hand. XyZ summon, Magikey Spirit-Vepartu!" One of the Clavkiys fuse with the other, making the main one grow up, with long blue hair and two guns instead of one. "I detach one material from Vepartu to bring a level 4 monster from my deck to my hand, then end my phase..."

"No way!" Said Oki. "Tsutsumi has her cornered!"

"She's a profesional duelist, don't be so sure." Replied Masaki.

"Draw! Haha! It's time to show you what I'm made of! I activate Kuji-Kiri Curse!" Nine flames appeared behind Tsutsumi. "I send 1 level 9 monster from my hand to the graveyard and draw 2 cards! Now, I use Water of life to special summon Lithosagym from my graveyard!" The ground opened violently, and a fierce spiky dragon came from it. "XyZ summon, I use my three monsters to call upon Jormungandr, Generaider Boss of Eternity!" The power of the three mosnters combined completely destroyed the chamber's ceiling, and from the ravine Lithosagym came, a giant, not, a gargantuan snake came out, so big clouds started forming around it, covering the moon of the dark sky with it's imponent figure. "I detach 1 material from Jormungandr to make us both draw one card, then we both need to give one back to Jormungandr!"

/Jormungandr current ATK: 4000/

"Woah! ¡Eres bueno chico!" Said Natalia amazed.

"JORMUNGANDR! RAGE OF THE WORLD BORDER!" Screamed Tsutsumi. A loud, deep roar was heard, and Jormungandr blasted Vepartu with a powerful beam, completely evaporating him.

/Natalia's remaining Life Points: 1450/

"Ugh... ¡Mi turno!" Said Natalia kinda nervous. "I summon Crowley, the Magistus of Grimoires, then I banish Rilliona from my graveyard in order to equip-"

"Not so fast! Jormungandr reign is eternal!" Once more, Jormungandr's effect took place.
/Jormungandr current ATK: 6000/

"Tch, as I was saying, I banish Rilliona from my graveyard in otder to equip Vahram to Crowley, giving him ¡La gracia del dragón divino! Then I use my trusty Trismagistus to special summon Performage Damage Juggler in DEF position!"

"Won't matter, once Jormungandr is on the field, nothing can stop us!" Said Tsutsumi smiling.

"XyZ summon, Ninaruru, the Magistus Glass Goddess!(Un movimiento desesperado pero necesito encontrar una forma de protegerme de ese bicho...)" Exclaimed Natalia. "I activate Ninaruru's effect, detaching one material and recovering a spellcaster from my graveyard! Your turn..."

"Draw! Jormungandr! RAGE OF THE WORLD BORDER!" Once more, Tsutsumi's apex monster obliterated Natalia's line of DEF, the beautiful glass statue was shattered to pieces.

"¡Mi Turno! Heh... te vas a enterar pendejo por tomarme por una tonta. I summon Zoroa in ATK position, then I use Trismagistus to special summon Endymion, the Magistus of Mastery! ¡AHORA! SYNCHRO SUMMON, ZOROA ASCEND IN FLAMES; ZOROA THE MAGISTUS CONFLAGRANT CALIMITY!" Zoroa grew in size; Vahram's wings coming from his back, and two powerful flames coming from each of his hands. "Zoroa equips Magistus Maiden Artemis, which then allows me to add 1 Magistus monster to my hand! It's not over yet, I activate Crowley's graveyard effect, equiping Vahram to him. ¡GRACIA DEL DRAGÓN DIVINO!"

"Tsutsumi! Don't get too cocky now!" Exclaimed Masaki to the TV.

"Jormungandr, activate!"
/Jormungandr current ATK: 7000/
"MY ATK CAN ONLY GET HIGHER AND HIGHER, YOU WON'T WIN!" Screamed Tsutsumi.
/Zoroa current ATK: 2900/

"YOUR ATK DOESN'T MATTER WHEN FACING THE DIVINE FLAMES OF VAHRAM! WHEN THE DIVINITY DRAGON IS EQUIPED TO A MONSTER, I CAN DESTROY THE MONSTER ZOROA ATTACKS WITHOUT EVEN BATTLING!" Screamed Natalia with a big smile on her face.

"WHAT!?" Exclaimed Tsutsumi perplexed. Zoroa drew the symbol Vahram used to bring him back again earlier in the duel in the air with his flaming hands, lighting Jormungandr ablaze, the impossibly big serpent burned like a pyre, shattering.

"Tu turno, chico." Said Natalia smugly.

"Draw!" Tsutsumi hold back his tears, and proceeded to try and win. "Since you control more monsters I can special summon B.E.S Blaster Cannon Core in DEF position! Then, I activate World Legacy Monstrosity to special summon Mecha Thunder King from my hand!" Thunder clapped, Blaster Cannon Core came cruising from space, and Mecha Thunder King fell from the sky at the same time, but they weren't mean to be on the field for too long, as Tsutsumi XyZ summoned another Jormungandr with them. "Jormungandr, we won't lose this time!" Jormungandr effect activated, thinning Tsutsu's deck more and more.
/Jormungandr current ATK: 3000/

"RAGE OF THE WORLD BORDER!" Screamed Tsutsumi tearing down.

"Tsutsumi..." Said Enko watching as his best friend lost his cool more and more.

"You won't get anywhere if you lose it that quickly! ¡GRACIA DEL DRAGÓN DIVINO!" With the same spell, Zoroa burned Jormungandr down again, leaving Tsutsumi with nothing. "Mi turno! I activate Vritra Magistus, summoning Endymion from my graveyard! Then, I send Trismagistus to my graveyard to summon Zoroa, Magistus of Flame and Rilliona, Magistus of Verre from my hand! The book finally left Natalia's hand, summoning the two Magistus on the field. "Rilliona, search for me Magistus Invocation! I fusion summon Aiwass, the Magistus Spell Spirit!" Both Zoroa, Magistus of Flame and Endymion fused into a metallic creature, almost shapeless. "Aiwass, Zephyr Saintshot!"

"I activate Spiritual Swords of Revealing Light, paying 1000 Life Points to Negate the attack!"
/Tsutsumi's remaining Life Points: 2000/

"ZOROA, CALAMITY RED SUN!" The Magistus conjured a giant ball of flame, hurling it at Tsutsumi.

"Spiritual Swords of Revealing Light!"
/Tsutsumi's remaining Life Points: 1000/
"(I can't do anything... If Jormungandr couldn't not a single card I have left could destroy that thing... I've lost.)My turn... Wait! I activate Gamaciel's effect, tributing your Zoroa to give you this cute guy!"

"THAT'S IT TSUTSU!" Screamed Enko standing up.

"Now, I use World Legacy Monstrosity to special summon True King Agnimazud, the Vanisher!" A monstrous red and black dragon appeared in an eruption of flames, it's blue gem on it's forehead shining brightly. "THIS IS IN MY HANDS NOW!"

"Oooooh, que lindooooo... Not only did you give me a monster, you give me another one now!" Said Natalia smiling.

"Wh-what?" Tsutsumi went pale, looking at Aiwass like it was the antichrist.

"I activate Aiwass quick effect, equiping it to Agnimazud so I can take control of it! Not only that, it gains a 1000 ATK and DEF!"
/Agnimazud current ATK: 3900/

"What!? Come on that has to be cheating!" Screamed Arata dropping his cigarette.

"No... this can't be..." Said Tsutsumi. "Your turn..."

Natalia finished Tsutsumi with Agnimazud, winning the duel.

/WHAT A DUEL EVERYONE, HERE IN INDUSTRIAL ILLUSIONS HAVE TO THANK NATALIA FOR HER APPAREANCE, COMING ALL THE WAY FROM COLOMBIA TO SUPPORT OUR TOURNAMENT! I'M GARDIUS AND THIS HAS BEEN THE FIRST OF THE DUELS, WE WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW!/

Back in the hall, Tsutsumi was greeted by his friends, and of course Enko ran all the way to hug his friend and support him. After a while, Natalia appeared too, however she was not meet with such kindness.

"Hey chico, you're amazing!" Said Natalia smiling.

"Hey stop it with the joking!" Said Enko angry.

"it's okay..." Said Tsutsumi wiping his tears away. "You're amazing too! You could win Jormungandr not once, but twice! Please teach me how to improve my deck!" Tsutsumi went to his usual self, a happy curious boy, too curious, asking Natalia over and over again.

Meanwhile, on the top of the tower, Gardius stared at the window, seeing the view of the whole city, and the reflection of two statues on his office, one angel holding a blue orb and the other a demon with gold details. "Yes, just as planned, all the powerful duelists in one place. Just. For. Me..."
