DSlifer: Okay another chapter for this story. I just realized I'm taking a long time in writing my stories. Oh well, not really my fault just the schools. There are just too many tests and projects, not to mention homework. Personally I think school is torture. And it's not like I learn anything there too.
Chapter 4: Tournament Rules
Yan woke up in the morning on the floor. Confused he looked around and wondered why he was on his bed. "That's strange, I know I don't sleep walk, but then how did I end up on the floor?" wonders Yan. He, for a spilt second, heard a sudden laughter and the word 'baka'. Shaking his head, he determined that he must have imagined it, after all, he doesn't know what baka meant.
Yan walked down the stairs and cooked himself a bowl of instant noodles. He sighed thinking that if his mom was home he could be eating something better than just instant noodles. He sat down and began eating, when he heard a voice asking him why is he eating Instant Noodles.
Yan turned around and saw his mother speaking to him. He asked her when she had come home.
"Oh, Yan, were you worried about me? I'm sorry I didn't call home. I had an important business meeting going on and I couldn't leave," said Yan's Mother. "I was going to tell you this later, but I registered you into a tournament. I know you'll like it, since your always playing around with those cards of yours."
Yan decided not to mention that he only started playing the card game 2 days ago. "That's nice, mom. What is the tournament called?"
Yan's mom handed her son a pamphlet. She told him to read to understand what is going to happen.
-----------------------------------------
Yan, after he stared at his mom in disbelief, left the house to clear his mind. He wandered around his neighborhood wondering what he would do to prepare for the tournament. Realizing that the tournament is in 5 days, Yan realized that he has a lot to prepare and prepare himself fast also. Not realizing that his deck has been slightly changed, he went to the local card shop to purchase more cards.
"So kid, your back again," said the shop owner. "What type of cards do you want this time?"
Yan replies, "I've made a light and dark deck and I need a couple of cards which might be useful to the deck."
"Well in that case…" The shop owner takes a Collector's Binder stuffed with cards from behind him. "Here, you might need some of these. It's from the newest booster pack, "Invasion of Chaos"; there are lots of good Light and Dark types. And this binder has other good cards from other packs too."
Yan looked through the second binder first, and took out a Sangan(1000/600), D.D. Warrior Lady(1500/1600), Witch of the Black Forest(1100/1200), and Maha Vailo(1550/1400). "I need these for now, though I might need something else later." He looked through the second binder and saw nothing he needed.
"Well, the Maha Vailo is on hold for another of my customers. But I could let you have the other three, for $25." Yan handed the money and started to walk out.
"Wait, what is that card?" Yan pointed to a card on the top shelf.
The shop owner looked up and saw the card Yan pointed to. "That card is called 'Chaos Emperor Dragon'(3000/2500). It's very powerful, but it's not for sale. This card is reserved for my brother, since he's entering the tournament." Yan left the store and went back home to fix his deck.
At home, Yan took his deck out of his deck box to change and make sure there are no errors in it. Ironically when he took out his deck, the card Resurrected Demon(2900/1500) remained inside the box. He added in his new cards and placed his deck back in the box.
---------------------------------------------

"What! Why so many restricted cards?" wondered Yan as he finished reading the changes. "At least my deck already fits the rules, but I haven't even heard of some of these cards. How rare could those be?"
Yan ran to the Gaming Store that he normally goes to, to get his Duel Disk and Dueling Recorder.
"It's you again kid," said the Store Owner. "What do you want now?"
"I need a Duel Disk Version 3 and a Dueling Recorder."
"So your entering the Duelist Legacy Tournament."
"That's what the tournament is called?"
"You joined a tournament without knowing anything about it? What kind of an idiot are you?"
"My mom signed me up and I do know the basic thing about it. I read this sheet."
"Idiot! That only tells you only half of the rules." The Store Owner sighed and shook his head sadly. "What is wrong with this kid?"
"Why don't you tell me the rules than?" asked Yan.
"You think I have time explaining everything to you? I just tell you that in this tournament your dueling rank increases as u duel. There are 7 ranks in this tournament with rank 7 being the highest and rank 1 being the lowest. Every time your dueling rank has increased you will receive a rare card that bests fits your dueling skills."
While the man was saying this, he took out a duel disk and Dueling Recorder. After he hooked the Dueling Recorder to his computer and uploaded all the necessary files, he asked Yan about his age, birthday, dueling rank, type of deck, and his rarest card.
After telling the Store Owner the required information, Yan got his Dueling Equipment and went home.
--------------------------------------------
Yan opened his Dueling Recorder inside his room, and took out his Dueling ID that listed his information. It said that his Dueling Rank is 1 and that his rarest card is his Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning.
Yan, took a closer look at his Dueling Recorder, saw that the Dueling Recorder was a white rectangular device with a slit on the side for activation. The Dueling ID is necessary to slide across, the Dueling recorder and start up the programs in the recorder. Once activated it allows a duelist to record a duel and play a holographic replay of the duel back in any angle. This way the duelist may watch his dueling skills, strengths, weakness, and mistakes from another point of view, thus improving his dueling skills.
He went online and searched the net to find information on cards. He decided that if he was going to at least stand a chance, he should memorize all the cards that had ever been created. This way none of his opponents would be able to catch him by surprise.
