Chapter 16: Roulette"Nicely played, Serenity," said Seto. "You've learned a great deal in such a short time."
"Thank you, Kaiba!" beamed Serenity.
Seto and Serenity were just finishing up their final Duel Monsters lesson with one last duel. Seto won, of course, but Serenity managed to hold her own and overall played very well.
"Thank you so much for teaching me, Kaiba," said Serenity. "I can't wait to show Joey how much I've learned!"
Seto pulled out a card from his pocket and held it out to her.
"Here," he said.
"What's this?" asked Serenity, looking at the card in his hand.
"It's a magic card," he answered. "Roulette, to be specific."
"Isn't that card really rare?"
"Yes, Roulette is no ordinary card. If used correctly, it can be very powerful, and may decide the outcome of a duel."
"Wow! I didn't know you had this card!"
"I've just recently acquired it. It can be very helpful, particularly near the end of a duel. Use it when you have nothing left to lose."
"Use it?"
"Yes. It's yours."
"But . . . why are you giving it to me?"
"You've earned it. You have learned a great deal in a very short amount of time, and you have now officially become a duelist."
"Thank you," said Serenity, blushing pink at the compliment. She took the card and carefully placed it in her deck.
"Oh, and one more thing," said Seto as Serenity turned to go. "In your duel with Joey . . . you had better win."
Serenity smiled and gave him the thumbs-up sign. Then she turned the corner and went back to the others.
Hmph, thought Seto, staring out at the ocean. She's naïve, always relying on others, just like Yugi and his friends. Maybe one day she'll learn that you can only rely on yourself.
