Kaibacorp Sanctuary - Arena 5
Reishi had arrived at Her Destination - Kaibacorp Visions,Technologies and commerce Buildings. Otherwise Known as The Sanctuary by ordinary citizen. It was called this because It could serve almost any purpose,It started off as an office to regulate the trade of technologies between nations but soon incorporated Dueling spots,Malls,Shops,Pools,Sport Areas,Offices and even a school itself.
It was Hexagonal Shaped with a Plain black color.
Reishi stood right in front of the Sanctuary, Marveling at it. She had seen it before But had never gone inside.
This would change as she went up to the building and gripped the bar of the door handle and pushed like she would in heat. The door opened and she went inside.
The door took her directly to the arena!
Reishi: T-This Is it!
The area of the Arena was decently sized with 50 x 20 grid-width, with the stands being the highlight of it. The Arena was packed. Around 1000 students from both of the schools competing were inside. They all packed the seats from top to bottom, Left to right.
Teachers and staff stood at the top of the stands or in VIP boxes Watching there students with diligence and lewdness.
Through the entrance way she had entered She saw Fumi and Principal Yamane waiting further down the hallway, Waiting for her.
She walked towards them slowly.
Yamane: Reishi Darling! I'm so Delighted that you showed up!
Reishi: I Don't think I had much a choice…
She muttered to herself
Yamane: What was that?
Reishi: N-Nothing. It's great to be here !
Yamane: I'm glad too. It'll such an great honor to watch the descendant of an legend to duel!
She exclaimed.
Reishi: Y-Yeah.
Yamane: I wish you a good luck! And please remember what we "Talked about".
She winked at reishi and walked right past her, leaving fumi and her alone.
Fumi then approached reishi.
Fumi: Good to see you reishi.
Reishi: Aisatsu.
Fumi: Very Formal! I assume you're ready for today?
Reishi: Yes.( At least I think so…. )
She thought.
Fumi: I'm Just here to let you know a couple of important things.
Reishi: oh?
Fumi: First, The school we're going against is the Chinese Taoist Society of japan . It's an all girls school with a priority on religiosity and dueling. So your opponent won't be pulling any punches.
Reishi: Geez. No pressure.
Fumi: Another thing, I'm sure that you know that this event will be on television and streamed.
Reishi: Yes? And?
Fumi: Please don't do anything to embarrass this academy.
Reishi: Huh? What do you mean?
Fumi: Don't be reckless is what I mean. No offense
She clarified.
Reishi: *tch* Noted.
Fumi: And one last thing….
She Reached into her skirt and pulled out a pin. It was a bit dusty and smelled weird, but It had the words "Academy representative" on it.
Fumi: The student council gave this to you as "good luck" Charm.
Reishi: T-Thanks?
Fumi: You're welcome.
Just as fumi was about to walk away, Another person came from behind reishi.
Shima: Mornin.
it was shima. She was wearing her usual outfit. Except with a black undergirth. Also Interestingly she had a silver case in her hand.
Just as shima was about say something, she eyed fumi,
who stared at her back.
Shima: ...Fumi.
Fumi: ...Shima.
For about 5 seconds it was an awkward staredown between them with reishi in the middle.
Fumi: … Bye Reishi.
She walked right past shima. Almost cold and distant like.
Reishi: What was that about?
Shima: Nothing. Just some bad blood.
Reishi: Ok then.
Reishi didn't want to pursue the subject any further as not to aggravate shima.
Reishi: Thanks for coming Shima!
Shima: *tch* I Didn't have choice. I had to come to this match for my anthropology class.
Reishi: Hmm? Why?
Shima: Isn't it obvious? You're facing a dirty foreigner school.
Reishi looked around. There were people holding up signs that appeared to be in a foreign language.
They all read:
去羅芳
羅芳是我們的女孩
你能行的！羅芳
It was clearly chinese. But had a distinctive tone to it.
Reishi: Huh.
Shima: I'll be honest reishi. I'd be pretty disappointed in you, if you lost to a dirty gaijin.
Reishi: don't be a racist, shima…
Shima: Can't help it. The Nippon race is superior when it comes to dueling.
She sniffled.
Shima: Speaking of dueling though….
Shimamura knelt down and opened her steel case. Clicking and snapping noises could be heard from in front of shima. She was clearly assembling something.
Shima: Overnight… I… decided to Rebuild the RX-5.
She grunted as she struggled to open her steel case.
Reishi: The duel disk?
Shima: What other Rx-5 is there? You Dummy.
Reishi: (Ok. I asked for that.) How? One was smashed into pieces and the other was basically inoperable.
Shima: That's where my genius intelligence comes in! You see I-
Shima went into a 5 minute long monologue about how she had basically reversed engineered The Rx-5 using software programs and repairing the base disk on it.
Reishi had zoned out and only pretended to understand.
{one boring story later}
Shima: -and thats how I did it.
Reishi: T-Thats Great Shima! Ehehe…
She awkwardly responded.
Shima: Damn right. I spent all night working on this damn thing. Put so much work into it...
Her head titled down in stress.
Shima: Although, I guess all my hard work for naut as You're just going to throw the match anyway huh?
Reishi: Y-Yeah….
*CliCk*
Shima had assembled the duel disk and pulled it out from the behind the case.
It revealed itself to be new and improved. The edges were more slick, The card slots we're hardcovered glassed, and the paint job was lit.
Shima handed to reishi with her pride and amazement high.
Reishi: Thanks shima. It's really cool that you did all this for me~
Shima blushed.
Shima: E-eh? I didn't do all for you! I just wanted to test T-The Rx-5!
Reishi: Sure ya did.
Shima: S-Shut up! I-It's not like I like you or anything Baka!
Reishi: Heh.
Reishi giggled. Although giggling had reminded shima of...
Shima: Btw, Where's hattori?
Reishi: …!
Reishi realized that her friend wasn't here. It seemed odd as this would be the one event hattori would likely attend.
Reishi: Gosh. I don't know haven't seen her since monday….
Shima: Geez. That idiot… you would think this would be the one thing she would show up early for!
Reishi: Agreed. It's a bit concerning at this point…
Shima: *Pshh* I wouldn't worry about. She's probably Whipping herself at home.
Reishi: R-Right.
Reishi wasn't certain though.
*Snap*
Suddenly the lights in the arena got dimmer and room got quieter.
A sexy woman's voice played over the intercom.
Intercom: Will our two Glorious Contestants Please come to the center stage? Thank you.
*Chtt* It cut off.
Reishi: That's my cue, I guess.
Reishi Snapped on the New RX-5 Duel disk with pride. It glittered on her wrist like a puppy in heat.
Shima: Good luck Reishi.
Shima wished.
Reishi nodded her head and carried on to the arena. Where she stood at it's edge.
The arena itself was a grid-formatted Gray area with shingles at it's side. It was right in middle of everything, So everyone from around the arena and in the crowd could see properly.
On the other side could see The other schools representative's. Although she couldn't make out their faces.
*Snap*
The lights dimmed again and a figure appeared from the side vomitorium.
It was a bland woman in a suit. She had a clip in her hand and looked very posh. The crowd of students and teachers immediately got silent from this person appearing. She grasped a holographic
Lady: *Ahem* Thank you all for coming. I represent NIPS
Lady: This is the first ever- Cross school tournament, Sponsored by NIPS!
Lady: Now students and teacher alike, You might be wondering… "Why did you host a tournament like this?". Well To put it simply Went want "Measure" The intelligence of Nippon's youth. We also wish to see the youth Prosper and with this tournament, It's a means to an end.
Everyone clapped.
Lady: Now let's go on with Our First Match!
Lady: On the right we have an lovely Descendant of the man,the myth, the legend - Yuji Sakamoto. Please Give a Hand for Reishi Sakamoto! Representing Neo domino city Academy!

She's a dedicated student of the taoist philosophy and not to mention a great chef!
