"So... You have a friend named Blue Angel, and she's sick? And you were promised the cure to her sickness in exchange for you, and you winning this tournament?" Asked Hope. "She's not my friend! Well, ah... kinda. She's my... ally. My partner" Said Playmaker. "Ouh, love partner? The solidarity warrior and an Angel. My, heaven'd have a heart attack" Said Hope. "I don't love her!" Shouted Playmaker. "And buttons are being pressed" Said Hope. "Besides, we have matches tomorrow. Your against Chumley Huffington, and I'm against Z-Arc. I'm assuming you'll be moving on in the tournament, as you are an amazing duelist" Said Playmaker. "No. Dueltainer" Said Hope, as he left. "Now, where is Akiza's room?... End of the hall, left side, floor 2. Oh. Right in front of me. Compared to me, it's... right next door. Oh" Said Hope, as he knocked on Akiza's door. The door was then opened by Akiza. "Hope? It's midnight, what do you want?" Asked Akiza. "I wanna talk, about stuff" Said Hope. "What kinda stuff?" Asked Akiza. "The tournament. I wanna know if you know who your dueling, whenever your dueling" Said Hope. "I don't know. It could be anyone. Yugi, Alito, Playmaker, Yuya, Yubel, I don't know. All I'm sorta focused on is getting my medical degree" Said Akiza. "Medical Degree? You want to become a doctor?" Asked Hope. "A surgeon, if possible" Said Akiza. "Well, I'd recommend not being a surgeon. Anyway, why'd coming here help with getting a Medical Degree?" Asked Hope. "The winner of the tournament gets a medical degree" Said Akiza. "No they don't, they get a title and a card" Said Hope. "... Hope, go to your room" Said Hope. "... Absolutely, Akiza" Said Hope.

Hope activates "White Coat License", allowing Hope to special summon one "Ex-Aid", "Brave", "Snipe" and "Lazer" monster card from his deck, under LV5. However, since Hope already controls a "Brave" monster, he cannot special summon a "Brave" card. Hope special summons "Ex-Aid LV3" (2200/ 1500), "Lazer LV3" (2600/ 0) and "Snipe LV3" (3000/ 100). Hope sets two cards and ends his turn.
"What cards does he have face down? Iron Body prevents his monster from being destroyed once per turn. Confusion could stop my monster from attacking. Speeding up... that could be a useless dummy card, made only to scare me... I need to destroy them both" Thought Chumley.
Turn 7: Chumley
Chumley draws. Chumley activates "Des Wild", destroying all of Hope's set spell and trap cards, and discarding Hope's entire hand.

Hope choses the cards "Confusion", "Speeding Up" and "Muscle Up", and applies them to "Des Outback". "Confusion" allows Chumley to choose an monster he control, and attack it with "Des Outback". "Speeding Up" allows "Des Outback" to attack directly, and "Muscle Up" gives "Des Outback" an extra 500 attack points (4000/ 2800). "Des Outback" attacks Chumley directly (Chumley LP: 0). Hope wins.
"And with a marvellous display of fakeoutary, your winner of this duel is Hope Xiao Rose, with a self inflicted KO to Chumley!" Declared the announcer, as Hope started to leave the arena. "Now... now Pegasus won't notice me!" Shouted Chumley, sniffling. "That's... Intreging" Said Hope.
A few minutes later
"And with an amazing finish, Jack Atlas will be moving on over Tea! Next round, in arena 2, it's Playmaker VS Z- Arc" Declared the announcer. "Well, Playmaker. It'd be a shame to lose you so early in a tournament, especially when you're the new up and comer, but I'm going to win" Said Z-Arc. "Start!" Declared the announcer.
Turn 1: Z- Arc
Z-Arc draws. Z-Arc Normal Summons "Performapal Duck Dealer" (100/1100). As he controls a "Performapal" monster, Z-Arc Special Summons"Performapal Card Bird" from his hand.

During the End Phase, Z-Arc draws a card via the effect of "Card Bird" as it was destroyed this turn.
"How can Z- Arc do something like that!?" Asked Yuya. "Simple, Yuya. The same way you can. Since you and Z- Arc are sorta the same person, he can use your cards as much as the reverse is possible" Said Hope.
Turn 2: Playmaker
Playmaker draws. Playmaker activates "Cyber DDoS Attack", destroying all non Cyberse monsters on the field, and dealing 1000 damage to his opponent for every monster destroyed (Z- Arc LP: 0). Playmaker wins.
