"So… you're Yugo Sakaki?"

Yugo gave a thumbs up. "The one and only! And hey, you didn't get my name wrong! I like you, um—"

"Yaiba Todo," the brunette supplied. "Second year here, and friends with that guy your brother Yuto just savagely beat into the ground." Despite the words, the boy smiled. "I personally have no vendetta against you four, but I have orders, so—"

"Let's go!" Yugo cuts the boy off. "We don't have time, and if the grinning bastard gets impatient," he jerks his hand towards Yuri, "none of us will be able to stop him." That's honestly not true, but he doesn't want to listen to the boy continue prattling on with his excuses. Yugo Sakaki is a lot of things, but patient is not one of them. Especially not when someone is trying to justify this unfairness. "Duel!"

[Duel Mode Randomised—zzt—Master Mode.] The computer buzzes out. [Candidate Yugo Sakaki, please start.]

Yugo Sakaki: 4000 LP

Yaiba Todo: 4000 LP

This hand… well he might as well go all out! Yuya, watch me… "With the Scale 3 Speedroid Passinglider (5*/S3/2200/2000/WIND/Machine/Pendulum/Effect) and the Scale 8 Speedroid Dominobutterfly (2*/S8/100/300/WIND/Machine/Pendulum/Tuner/Effect), I set the Pendulum Scales!"

"Pendulum…"

Yuzu Kurosaki had never really pegged herself for someone superstitious, but there was something extremely familiar about those two Scales—something kind, friendly, concerned. It confused her.

"Yuzu? You alright?" She heard Rin say, and she nodded.

"Sorry. Spaced out a little. It's rare to see Pendulums."

Rin nodded, turning back to the duel—and catching sight of a certain black haired girl walking towards the bottom of the stands. She grinned. "I'm surprised Shun hasn't murdered that boy yet," she remarked.

Yuzu shushed her immediately. The two glanced to the side to see their older brother typing up a document on his computer. "He doesn't know." She hissed, trying to keep her voice low. The two quickly turned back to the duel, trying not to look suspicious.

"Pendulum Summon! Come to me, my monsters! Speedroid Pachingo-Kart! (4*/1800/1000/WIND/Machine/Effect) And then I will Normal Summon Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice (1*/100/100/WIND/Machine/Tuner/Effect) from my hand!" He reached out his hand. "Alright, let's do this!" His Speedroids let out sounds of enthusiasm. "That's the spirit! I will activate Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice's effect! Once per turn, I can change a "Speedroid" on my field to a level from Level 1 to 6! I will change Speedroid Pachingo-Kart's level to Level 5!"

"Changing a Level, but not to the same Level as the other monster… you're a Synchro user, huh?" Yaiba said.

"Sure am! And now, I'll bring out one of my prized Synchro monsters! I tune my Level 1 Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice to my Level 5 Speedroid Pachingo-Kart! Magical sword with the form of a cross. Use your power to destroy our enemies! Synchro Summon! Appear now—Level 6! Hi-Speedroid Kendama!" (6*/2200/1600/WIND/Machine/Synchro/Effect)

The monster flew out of the Synchro rings, an epic looking knight monster with two shields and a long lance in front of it.

The moment of awesome was ruined as Yuri muttered "Kendama" in a strangely audible tone—somehow even the people at the top of the stands could hear it—followed by "It's a toy, it's not epic. It's a toy." Yuto facepalmed as Yugo spun around and gave Yuri a glare.

"Shut up, cabbage head."

"Make me, fruit salad."

There was an awkward silence as the two glared at each other, before Yaiba cleared his throat. "Could we continue, please?"

"Right! Sorry, sorry." Yugo glanced back at the field. "What was I doing?... ah. Now, since it's the first turn, I can't attack you—but I can at least deal you a bit of damage! Hi-Speedroid Kendama's effect! I banish a Machine-type monster from my graveyard to deal you 500 damage! Rev it up, Kendama! I banish Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice from my graveyard! Brutal Swing!" The lance swings itself forward, creating a small shockwave.

Yaiba Todo: 4000 - 500 = 3500LP

"I end my turn!" Yugo gives an impish smile. "So, what have you got for me? Bring it!"

"Looks like you're getting heated up." Yaiba smirks. "I guess it's up to me to keep this duel fun then! I draw!" At the sight of the card, his smirk widens. "I got a good card. Activate—Heavy Storm!"

"Heavy Storm? I've heard of that card, but I have no spells or traps! Using it now is—"

At the words he said, his brothers all reacted in mixes of exasperation and amusement. Yuto quietly smacked his head on the chair in front of him, while Yuri facepalmed. Yuya simply sighed and when Yugo looked back towards him, showed one of his Pendulum monsters, pointing to the bottom of the card.

Yugo blinked in confusion—and then he realised. "Oh." Just as he spoke, his Scales were swept away by the storm conjured by his opponent's spell card.

Yaiba gave an amused grin. "You and your brothers should consider forming a circus act. You can consider it after I expel you. I will Normal Summon XX-Saber Boggart Knight (4*/1900/1000/EARTH/Warrior/Effect) from my hand." A warrior in silver armour with a long red cloak appeared. When I Normal Summon this card, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower X-Saber monster from my hand! I will Special Summon XX-Saber Fulhelmknight (3*/1300/1000/EARTH/Warrior/Tuner/Effect) from my hand!" This time, the monster that appeared was a younger version of the earlier monster, with long blond hair and a derpy smile on its face.

"X-Saber, huh? Nice! Your monsters are almost as cool as my Speedroids!" Yugo praised with an enthusiastic laugh.

Yaiba shook his head. "I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks. It appears that other than the 'cool' monsters, as you call them, we share our speciality. I—tune the Level 3 Fulhelmknight to the Level 4 Boggart Knight! Wielder of crossed blades of light, trample over this mountain of corpses! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Level 7! X-Saber Souza!" (7*/2500/1600/EARTH/Warrior/Synchro/Effect)

Yugo watched as the monsters disappeared into rings—and then, a scarred, older warrior appeared, a long flowing ruby cape streaming out behind him. "Damn… Clear Wing, are you seeing this? We get to fight that!" His dragon let out an enthusiastic roar, though only he could hear it. "Yeah, it's super cool!"

Yaiba chuckled. "Then I'll have it show you its power! Attack his monster, Souza! Death Saber!"

The toy knight was destroyed, and Yugo received part of the impact as the sword swept across them.

Yugo Sakaki: 4000 - 300 = 3700LP

The other boy placed one card on his duel disk. "I set one card and end. Well, I've emptied your field. How will you face me now, Yugo Sakaki?"

"How? I don't know. But I will definitely defeat you!" I can use Kendama's effect… but I need a Tuner! I need… as much as I hate to say it, I need that card. "Draw!" He glanced at the card and laughed. Yuto had insisted he add it just in case… he hadn't actually expected the advice to help. As much as he hated to admit it, perhaps the eggplant had a point after all. "Kendama won't be stopped here! Since I control no cards, I can Special Summon it! However, I cannot normal summon this turn! Let's rev it up, Kendama! Return to Origin!" The toy knight reappeared. "Bet you didn't expect that!"

"Actually, I did! You were a little too calm, so I prepared a little something just in case. Trap card open—Saber Break! When my opponent special summons a monster, I can activate it! You take damage equal to the summoned monster's attack!" A shockwave hit him.

Yugo Sakaki: 3700 - 2200 = 1500LP

He laughed a bit more. Hopefully, Yuto wouldn't lord it over him too much. "When I take damage outside the battle phase, I can Special Summon Speedroid Mecha Prize (1*/100/100/WIND/Machine/Tuner/Effect) to the field! If I summoned it with this effect, I immediately perform a Synchro Summon with it and other WIND monsters on my field!"

"What?" Yaiba said with a shocked look. "Then you used my strategy to carry on yours?"

"I tune the Level 1 Speedroid Mecha Prize to the Level 6 Hi-Speedroid Kendama! Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down your enemies at the speed of light! Synchro Summon! Appear now—Level 7, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon! (7*/2500/2000/WIND/Dragon/Synchro/Effect) His dragon flew out of the green Synchro rings, zooming down next to him and letting out a triumphant roar. He laughed, turning back—

Only to see half the crowd shrink backwards. Yaiba gave him an alarmed look. "Your dragon isn't anything like your brother's, right?"

He laughed. The very idea! Starving Venom is obviously the worst of the bunch. "Nah, the others have attitude problems. Clear Wing is quite forgiving—like me." He winked. "Give a nice cheer to everyone, Clear Wing!"

Clear Wing let out a loud—and extremely overpowering roar.

Yuto sighed. "He does realise he's making them even more scared, right? Geez, that oblivious—"

"Can I sit here?" A gentle voice said. He turned to see a girl with black hair and an extremely cute smile and what was he thinking—

"Of course. I'm—"

"Yuto Sakaki-kun." The girl's smile brightened as she sat down. "Everyone knows, I think. That was a nice duel down there."

"T-thanks. What's your name?" He fought down the blush—there was no need to give Yuri more teasing material than he already had.

"Ruri Kurosaki." She said—was that a blush, no he was definitely just imagining it. She gestured to the duel. "Let's watch it! I'm sure your brothers will put up a good show too!"

Right. Yugo had used that card.

Yuto felt strangely relieved. Probably just exhaustion from his brothers. Nothing to do with the fact that Yugo had actually listened to him.

Nothing at all.

"Mecha Prize's effect! I can banish it to give the monster that used it for the Synchro Summon 1000 extra attack points! Go, Clear Wing! Take out Souza—Helldive Whirlwind Slasher!" The dragon offered its equivalent of a grin, before diving down and flying straight into the warrior, destroying it.

Yaiba Todo: 3500 - 1000 = 2500LP

"I set one card and end my turn." The two cards—Mecha Prize and his set card had been suggested by Yuto and Yuri. Time to see if the second would help.

"You're so proud of your dragon's 'amazing' abilities, huh?... use this. Your opponents will know how to avoid or even use Clear Wing's effect against you after the first time they see it. So you have to use their pathetic ignorance against them—you have to seize that first chance."

Time to see if Yuri had actually been helpful.

"My turn! Draw!" Yaiba grinned. "Just what I needed! I activate the spell card, Re-Synchro! I can banish the materials used to Synchro Summon a Synchro monster in my graveyard to Special Summon that Synchro Monster! I will special summon X-Saber Souza from my graveyard! You tried your best, but I shall be the one to draw the curtains on this duel! I shall Normal Summon another XX-Saber Fulhelmknight! I activate Souza's effect! I tribute Fulhelmknight to give it the effect to destroy your monster before damage calculation!"

"Nope. It's over for you!" Yugo shouted, his voice full of enthusiasm. "The effect of Clear Wing Synchro Dragon activates! When a Level 5 or higher monster activates its effect, I negate that effect and destroy it! Then, Clear Wing gains attack equal to that monster's attack! Dichroic Mirror!" (Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: 2500 + 2500 = 5000ATK) Before the other boy could react, he flipped his trap card face up. "Counter Trap activate! Mirror Whirlwind Burst! When a "Synchro Dragon" monster on my field gains attack due to an effect, I can deal you damage equal to that change!"

"What?!"

"Didn't expect that, did you? Take this damage and lose! Go, Clear Wing! Once again—Helldive Whirlwind Slasher!" His dragon followed his words, sending a large wave of wind at his opponent and knocking the boy down.

Yaiba Todo: 2500 - 2500 = 0LP

"Oh, the idiot used my card?" Yuri commented. That's unexpected. Perhaps there's hope for him yet."

Yaiba sat there frozen, before laughing. "Well done! You truly do deserve to be here, Yugo Sakaki!" He walked over and offered his hand. "No hard feelings?"

Yugo shook it with a large grin. "None! You're pretty cool yourself, Todo-senpai!" He let go, moving towards the stands and sat down next to Yuto. There was a black haired girl there, and he waved to her. "Hi! Did you see that finishing move?"

"Of course!" She said with a smile. "It was quite good. I assume you spent the whole turn preparing for that? That was a bit too perfect of a finish."

"Yep!" And I accomplished it thanks to those two cards… maybe they aren't that annoying after all.

"It looks like Hokuto-san and Yaiba-san we're unable to kick those Sakakis out after all. Damn it!" A blonde man punched the wall—before wincing and pulling back. "Oww… I thought it would hurt less."

"Are you alright?" He heard. From behind him, a black haired girl was watching the duel field.

"Why, of course! You'll be taking on the third one, Masumi-san. A Yuri." He sniffed. "Make him regret coming here."

"Relax, Chronos-sensei. I won't lose to anyone. You know how crafty I can be." Masumi stood up. "By the way, Tenjoin-sensei wants to talk to you later."

"Asuka?" He asked, but Masumi had already left. "Damn it… ah, I have nothing to worry about. This Yuri will lose, and the Sakakis will stay out of my school!" He cackled. "Now, time to watch this boy lose pathetically…"

"So you're my opponent?" Yuri asked. "Xyz to Xyz, Synchro to Synchro… can I assume you're a Fusion user? And that you've researched our decks?"

"All similarities are purely coincidental, I assure you." The black haired girl shrugged. "I certainly wouldn't stand for any cheating. I want to beat you fairly. So, I assume your questions imply that you're a Fusion user like me? I enjoyed your brothers' duels, but I'll have words with those two idiots for losing to first years later."

"Yikes, scary." Yuri teased. "I'd better help them by beating you then."

"Try if you can," Masumi smirked. "I'm better than both of them—and I'll prove it here. Come on! Duel!"

[Duel Mode—Master Mode!]

Yuri raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, definitely hacked." He suppressed his urge to drop the easygoing facade. "That bot is definitely hacked to put us all in Master Mode."

"And if so?" The girl's smirk stayed. "Would you prefer a switch? Just say so."

"Oh, of course not." He returned a smirk. "I suppose this is a decent handicap. Do you need anything else to make this a more even match? Baby pacifiers?"

The girl's face flushed red in irritation and embarrassment. She walked over and tossed the bot out of the field. Yuri whistled—strong. "Let's have a normal mode duel." She said icily. "Since that's what you want so much, Yuri Sakaki."

"That's the spirit. Duel!"

Yuri Sakaki: 4000 LP

Masumi Kotsu: 4000 LP

Masumi Kotsu, huh? "The handsome before the weak," he said sweetly. "I will Normal Summon Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio (4*/1200/800/DARK/Plant/Effect) from my hand." The monster that appeared was an almost innocuous-looking plant—and then it started moving, its roots rising up to reveal a scorpion-like body with the smaller roots serving as its legs. It was beautiful to Yuri, the plant. But he was getting carried away. "I will activate Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio's Effect. When Summoned, once per turn I can discard a monster from my hand to Special Summon a "Predaplant" monster from the deck. I will Special Summon Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra (3*/1000/1500/DARK/Plant/Effect) from my deck!"

This monster at first appeared to be a simple purple flower with a long stem. Then, the stem began stretching upwards, up and up… and then it let out a hiss, the flower's petals darkening as the other end of the stem revealed itself as a snake's dark head.

He gave the monsters a fond grin. "Cobra will add Polymerization to my hand."

Masumi's eyes narrowed. "Is it coming? The Fusion Summon?"

There is no reason to bring out Starving Venom now. Far too early, and the prey hasn't managed to entertain him yet. "I end my turn by setting a card! Your turn!" He smirked. "Please make it fun."

"I will certainly crush you. If you get your kicks out of that… well, I won't judge." She shot back. "Let me show you how I use Fusion. Draw! I activate the Continuous Spell card Brilliant Fusion! On activation, this card sends materials from the deck to the graveyard to Fusion Summon! I will send Gem-Knight Lazuli (1*/600/100/EARTH/Rock/Effect) and Satellarknight Alsahm (4*/1400/1800/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect) to the graveyard!"

Satellarknight… the Xyz second year's cards, huh? She must be quite good friends with him… well, he'll follow the pattern his brothers have already set up and beat the crap out of her.

"Knight of the stars and knight of sparkling blue! Become one, and bring forth the knight with glowing wings! Fusion Summon—Gem-Knight Seraphinite!" (5*/2300/1400/EARTH/Fairy/Fusion/Effect) She calls. A knight with long wings and a flowing two coloured cape—blue and silver—appears. "Due to Brilliant Fusion, Seraphinite loses all its attack and defence points."

"Then what's the use?... is what I would say if I was a certain banana haired moron. But I'm guessing that the points don't matter if you are so willing to throw them away."

"Correct. So you're not completely dumb. Seraphinite allows me to perform an extra Normal Summon every turn. I will Normal Summon Gem-Knight Amber (4*/1600/1400/EARTH/Thunder/Gemini/Effect) and Gem-Knight Alexandrite (4*/1800/1200/EARTH/Rock/Effect) to my field." She smirked. "And now, once again—I play Polymerization! I fuse Amber and Alexandrite with the Gem-Knight Sapphire (4*/0/2100/EARTH/Aqua) in my hand! Gem of prehistoric orange! Gem that shines bright white! Gem of the deep sea! In a whirlpool of light, combine to bring forth a new dazzling radiance!" She snapped her fingers. "Fusion Summon! This is my true ace! Appear, dazzling lady—Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!" (10*/3400/2000/EARTH/Rock/Fusion/Effect)

A woman glowing with pure white light appeared out of the Fusion Vortex, swinging her rapier forward. Yuri whistled. "Not bad."

Masumi grinned. "Have I got you dazzled? You had better be! Now, Lady Brilliant Diamond will pull her favourite trick! Once per turn, I can tribute a "Gem-Knight" monster on my field to Special Summon a "Gem-Knight" monster from my Extra Deck ignoring all summoning conditions! I will tribute Seraphinite to Special Summon Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli (5*/2400/1000/EARTH/Rock/Fusion/Effect) from the Extra Deck!" A lady in a dark blue robe appeared.

"Wait… that's two Extra Deck monsters. Were you planning to change the duel mode anyway?" He saw the girl smile. Damn, not bad… a decent Fusion, and tricking him into demanding she do something she was already going to do…

"Lady Lapis Lazuli's effect. I send a "Gem-Knight" from my Extra Deck or Deck to the graveyard to deal you 500 damage for each Special Summoned monster on the field! I'll send Gem-Knight Garnet from my Deck to the graveyard. Lady Lapis Lazuli, Lady Brilliant Diamond and your Darlingtonia Cobra. Three—take this 1500 damage! Lazuli Blast!"

The blue-robed woman raised her hand and azure bullets struck him all over. Yuri winced a little.

Yuri Sakaki: 4000 - 1500 = 2500LP

"Now, Battle Phase! Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli will attack your Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra!"

"You're a step behind me! Trap card activate—Predaplant Seeds! This turn, I take no damage from battles involving "Predap" monsters I control, and they cannot be destroyed!"

There was really not much Masumi could do at that, and Yuri knew it, too. She sighed. "I end my turn."

"Then it's mine! Draw!" He gave a bright smile at the sight of it.

"That's a creepy look," Masumi commented. Yuri's eyebrows twitched as he heard a certain idiot's "Damn straight!" from the crowd.

"Alright then. Now—Polymerization, activate! I'll fuse Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra and Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio! These plants combine to form the deadliest of poisons! Fusion Summon! Level 7, Predaplant Chimerafflesia!" (7*/2500/2000/DARK/Plant/Fusion/Effect)He grins even more when his monster appears and the girl's expression contorts with disgust. "Don't like it? I suppose you'll have to tolerate it for a while."

Lady Lapis Lazuli was a Level Five, was she not? So that meant that if he wanted, he could easily get rid of it with Chimerafflesia's effect and limit Masumi's options even more… but that would make this a lot less fun.

"Battle! Predaplant Chimerafflesia will attack Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!"

"Committing suicide?"

"Hardly. When Chimerafflesia battles, it can gain 1000 attack points and cause your monster to lose 1000. Mow it down, Chimerafflesia! Rotting Drain!"

Vines shot out from the monster, wrapping around the knight as she slowly grew paler and eventually disappeared.

Masumi Kotsu: 4000 - 1100 = 2900LP

"I set a card and end. Come on, Kotsu-senpai," his voice dripped with sarcasm, "What will you do?"

"Don't look down on me! Draw!... I set one card facedown. Lady Lapis Lazuli's effect. I'll send another Garnet. Lazuli Blast!"

Yuri Sakaki: 2500 - 1000 = 1500LP

"I end my turn."

"I guess that's all you can do. Draw. I will Normal Summon Predaplant Spinodionaea. (4*/1800/0/DARK/Plant/Effect) I will play the spell card Polymerization for the second time. I will fuse the Predaplant Chimerafflesia and Predaplant Spinodionaea on my field! Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon!" He gives the brightest smirk he can as his dragon roars in his mind. "Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs—Level 8! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" (8*/2800/2000/DARK/Dragon/Fusion/Effect)

His ace appeared next to him in an elaborate flurry of scarlet petals—Starving Venom always did love the dramatics.

Starving Venom, the one who understands him the most. He nods to it as it lets out an affectionate roar. "Let's do this. When Starving Venom Fusion Dragon is successfully Fusion Summoned, it gains the attack points of a Special Summoned monster on your field. Your Lady Lapis Lazuli is my only target, so it'll have to do. So Starving Venom's attack goes up to 5200–Hungry Fang! (Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: 2800 + 2400 = 5200ATK) But that's not enough. I'll play the spell card Ester Infusion. I banish a Plant monster from my graveyard and a DARK monster on the field gains that monster's attack points. I'll banish Predaplant Chimerafflesia, which if you'll recall, had 2500 attack points. That's 5200 plus 2500–which adds up to 7700! Feast, my hungry dragon!"

Starving Venom was surrounded in a dark aura as it gained the effects of the spell. (Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: 5200 + 2500 = 7700ATK)

"Finish her, Starving Venom! Toxic Spore!" His dragon soared towards Masumi's side of the field.

"I won't go down to a hasty strike like that! I activate the trap card Magic Cylinder! I negate the attack and deal you damage equal to your monster's attack! You lose!"

"Who's being hasty? You've got to try way better than that. I'll activate the counter trap Solemn Judgement which I set last turn! When a monster would be summoned or a spell or trap is activated, I pay half my life points and negate it!"

"What?!"

Yuri Sakaki: 1500/2 = 750LP

"The attack continues! Do it!"

Starving Venom's attack made contact with the girl's monster, and the monster melted away.

Masumi Kotsu: 2900 - 5300 = 0LP

He ignored the robot telling him to go to the stands, walking over to where Masumi had fallen on the floor and offering her a hand.

"Ugh, there goes my pride… I can stand up by myself." She got up. "Good match, Sakaki. I assume that terrifying dragon was your ace?"

"Aww, you'll make Starving Venom blush." He said with his smirk still on his face. "Yes, and please call me Yuri."

The moment was spoiled by everybody around them suddenly making a huge fuss, and Yuri immediately knew what they had seen. They had seen Yuya Sakaki appear. They had seen him walk in and started booing, and how dare they—

"Get off the field!"

"How dare you show your face?"

"Do you have no shame?"

"Get—"

"Shut up!" Someone interrupted before Yuri could introduce all the naysayers to his dragon's enormous jaws. The voice came from an indigo haired girl at the top of the crowd, with a yellow ribbon in her hair. "Have we fallen so far, Academia? We judge by a person's duel, and who they are right now! Let him prove himself!"

There was silence, some ashamed, some irritated. Yuri gave the girl a thankful nod, before he turned to his brother. "Take this, Yuya." He placed his dragon in Yuya's hand. "Win."

His brother looked down, slightly demoralised. "Yuri, I…"

"Why are you looking that down?" Another girl shouted—the same face as the earlier girl, but pink-haired. "If you don't fight with your all, you can't change how everyone thinks! Duel!"

"What the lady said, Yuya. Don't disappoint her." He said teasingly. "Dark Rebellion and Clear Wing will watch over you too, just like the two blockheads up there. Make everyone smile."

Ugh, so sappy… but the way Yuya's face lit up made it at least a little worth it. "Yeah!"

He saw a blonde-haired… woman? Man? A blond-haired joke walked into the field. He threw one final glare at the thing.

Yuya will not lose.

A/N: Ok so I was planning to post this earlier, but real life stuff got in the way. So yeah, here is Chapter 2! Sorry it took so long. I hope you enjoyed it, and thanks a lot for reading! So anyway, here's the Chapter 3 preview~

Chapter Preview: Chapter 3–Wavering Eyes

Yuya takes his Entrance Exam, duelling against one of the Duelling Professors, Professor Chronos de Medici. Due to his nervousness, Yuya is overwhelmed early on, but then he remembers a promise he made long ago…

Once again, thanks for reading! I hope to see you soon, if real life permits it. (^_^;) Have a good day!

Edit: (9/10/20) Well, I edited a lot of the duel text and formatting this time. Hopefully I'll be able to get the other fixes done soon. :)
