Perspectives 06 : Chronos
"Hello?"
Why hello there! And are we feeling good today?
"You really should tell me when you're about to call you know, Siegfried."
But that would change our dynamics, Herr Chronos. And we know how much we love to annoy each other, right?
"All the time. So why the sudden phone call? Afraid your rival would get old and withered here at Duel Academia?"
Mmm, sometimes. I often wonder if you get enough practice there, Herr Chronos. After all, it is not every day that word reaches me that someone beat your Medieval Darkness Deck for entry into Duel Academia.
"Yuki Judai is a special boy."
I'll bet, for someone to defeat a legendary duellist who has a similar reputation along with the big names. Katsuya Jounouchi, Kaiba Seto… Mutou Yugi…
"It was that type of reasoning that nearly drove me mad every time Judai defeated one of my traps."
Yes I know. Pity. Perhaps I should really take up that teaching position Sameshima offered me. I hear Daitokuji passed away.
"It's a bit more complicated than that."
"In any case," said Siegfried Von Schroeder, stepping into the office of Sameshima, Headmaster of Duel Academia and surprising Chronos, "I was wondering if you needed some time off."
Chronos chuckled and hung up his own phone. "I should have realized you were calling me from a cellular phone, Siegfried. The reception here in Duel Academia has a little pop after someone speaks. Must be all of the magical residue."
"I noticed," said Siegfried, his eyes dancing with possibilities. "After my defeat at the hands of Herr Kaiba and my brothers defeat at the hands of Mutou Yugi, I was beginning to wonder where this game came from."
"Obviously you did not come to chit chat," said Chronos, leaning back in Sameshima's chair. "Come to annoy me today? Sorry but Napoleon did that this morning."
Siegfried chuckled and swept his hair back. "Can't a friend visit a friend? Come on Chronos, I think the card shop has those strange buns on for sale tonight."
Chronos gave his pink haired friend a look as he got up from his chair and smoothed out his ruffled blue jacket. "Since when did you gamble on mystery meat?"
Siegfried chuckled as the pair headed out the room, Chronos pausing the lock the door. "Perhaps these days, I like to take a chance. After all Herr Chronos, isn't that what life is all about?"
"Indeed."
