The next day, everyone was ready for the quarter finals. The field would
be cut from 8 to 4, and everyone was a buzz to see who was going to go up
against who. Some had been busy placing bets on who could win and lose,
based on luck, or good feels. Others were doing more..scientific means.
"Ok, so if Yugi and Seto face each other mosty likely it will be decided in no less than 20 turns." Kevin said as he looked at his computer screen.
"What about Guy vs. Bandit Keith?" Tristan asked.
"Guy in 12."
Tristan nodded, amazed at how quick Kevin could calculate these things. "I never learned about this at church."
" You can't learn a lot of things from a church." Kevin replied. Tristan fowned. "Sorry, I'm not the most religious guy." He looked at his screen. "In a normal sense."
Tristan frowned. "What do you mean?"
Kevin sighed. "Every race that has exisited has believed that they understood the world, that they knew how it was created. Ancient man believed in forces of nature, the Greeks had the Olympians, the Eygptians had their deities, and now, we have ours. The problem is, we don't know for sure. I prefer to find out the truth on my own, not follow what is mainstream. Shift, chaos, all talk about this idea that our beliefs are wrong."
"Sounds like you're an atheist."
Kevin chuckled. "No, they're even worse."
Tristan rolled his eyes. "Come on man, spit it out, what are your beliefs."
Kevin looked at him. "That maybe all of them were right. That maybe, each fo them hit upon a part of the puzzle, and when it is assembled, we will learn the truth."
Before he could continue, Pegasus walked up to the podium, and the crowd grew quiet. "So, are we ready for the next match?" The crowd roared to life. "Ok, we are right now randomly selecting our first contestant. And the first match will be.." On the screen, names flashed, till the first two appears. "...Agile Krieg vs. Bandit Keith!"
Kevin looked at his screen. "Hmmm, tough one. I will say that it is a winner in less than 20 turns."
Agile looked over at Keith and chuckled. This was goignt o be waaaaaay to easy. Everyone was thinking that he couldn't stand up to Keith. After all, Agile had started dueling only 2 years ago, Keith had been dueling for 7; he was one of the original duelist. But Agile was going to prove himself to them all.
"Let's get this done with." Keith said, smiling.
"What are you so happy about chuckles?" Agile asked.
"I just got the easiest opponent. I am in the semis."
Agile frowned as he drew. "Is that so?"
Keith nodded. "Yea. I will declare My Spell Canceler as my avatar, then summon Inpachi to the field."
Agile sighed. "I will use Dark Master Zorc as my Avatar. Next, I will set this monster and end my turn."
"That's all?"
"That's all."
Keith snickered. "This is too easy. Attack my Inpachi!" The wooden machine creaked and groaned, and lowered a fist, shattering Newdoria. The fiend reached from the grave, and dragged the machine with him.
"Doesn't seem that easy at all." Agile said with a laugh.
