Molly didn't often forget things. As far as she was concerned, this was more often than not a bad thing, as she had trouble letting things go, and had gotten into more than a few... altercations with others because of not being able to look passed something they had said, even if it was unintentional. Regardless, the moment class was out for the day, Molly's objective was to start looking into the 'duel spirits' that she had heard Price mention.
She had started her search in the library. Well, she started her actual search at the library at least. She'd tried started online, browsing different sites that mentioned duel spirits. While she probably could have found what she needed if she had just kept at it long enough, she stopped after the fifth link she followed took her to porn, as she only had so much time before she would have to stop her search to get ready for the next day's classes, and getting distracted by the sexy duel monster smut was taking up too much time.
So after saving only a few links she'd found from this, she turned her attention to the library instead. Unfortunately the academy library, while fucking massive, didn't seem to have quite what she was looking for either. The most information she got was an old fantasy story about the first duelists, and how they had been able to summon their monsters not as cards, but as actually beings that actually did battle with each other.
The thought of bringing one of her monsters to life was thrilling for more than a few reasons, especially when her thoughts turned to her specialty cards, the Futa Heroes. Molly fell into a bit of a day dream from this, imagining her and her monsters along together.. she wasn't sure how long she ended up spending on this daydream, but it was still light out when she snapped out of it, so she didn't care.
She went next to Cassidy and Anton, finding them in the recreation room that was set for students. It was a bit room with tables for dueling, TV, and little vender areas for snacks and new cards to be sold. Cassidy and Anton were dueling at one of the tables. The tables weren't nearly as advanced as the fields, only projecting small, less detailed 3D images in between the two players as they dueled.
Cassidy was losing it seemed, Yaoi Angel just being defeated by Tigress Woman and dropping Cassidy's points down to 500. She seemed almost relieved when Molly came over, interrupted them. "Hey, where've you been?" Cassidy asked, "We were gonna invite you here with us after class." "Yeah sorry, I wanted to go look for something." She said. "Duel spirits?" Cassidy asked, remembering Molly's curiosity after she had heard the term.
Molly nodded, "Haven't found anything yet except fairy tales and porn." She said with a sigh. "Duel spirits.." Anton repeated the word slowly, like he was trying to remember something, "I think I've heard that before." He said. "Really? Where?" Molly asked excitedly. "It was right after the duel I had with that Korrin guy. After he shook my hand for a good duel, he said something, kinda like a mantra, 'I thank the duel spirits'. It was quiet, like he was trying to say it under his breath, but I'm sure that's what he said." Anton recalled.
"I need to ask him about them then." Molly said, turning around to head towards the guys dorms, getting two steps away before turning back and asking, "Do either of you know which dorm he's in?" Neither of them did, but with all three of them now curious, they all went to the guys dormitory hallway together to see if they could spot him leaving or entering a room. They managed to catch him returning to his dorm after about five minutes of waiting, which was a full minute and a half after Anton had been ready to pack it in and look somewhere else.
Molly went over to him, "Hey, I'm Molly, you dueled my friend Anton," She introduced herself. Korrin nodded, "You were the girl with the futa monsters right?" He asked. Molly felt a little heat rising to her face at the mention of her preferred monster card type, but nodded, "Yeah, a-anyway, I heard about something while I was dueling another student, and I was hoping maybe you could explain it to me? There are still a lot of duel terms I don't really understand." She said.
Korrin nodded, "Sure, if I know what it is I'd be glad to. Don't be embarrassed, you aren't the first student who didn't know absolutely everything about dueling on her first day. Pretty sure that's why they built this place." He said with a chuckle. Molly nodded in agreement, "I was wondering if you knew anything about duel spirits?" She asked casually, Korrin's eyes going wide for just a split second before he forced himself to look normal again.
"Sorry, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that. Were they talking about spirit type monsters maybe?" Korrin asked. "No, they definitely said dueling spirit." Molly said, "And I'm pretty sure you did to right after our duel." Anton said, now stepping forward with Cassidy. Korrin looked the three of them over, seeing he wasn't likely to get rid of them with just words.
He sighed, opening the door to his dorm and gesturing for them to go inside. They all entered, finding it the same as all the other rooms, just barely big enough for its two inhabitance, one bed each, and fuck all else. Korrin shut the door behind him, "So where exactly did you hear about duel spirits? Old fairy tales I'm guessing? Some rumor you heard online?" He asked, reaching to the desk by his bed and taking out his deck.
Molly shook her head, "I heard it from another duelist. They said they weren't surprised I'd lost to them, since I hadn't learned about them yet." Korrin snorted, "Bit douche. It isn't exactly something they're going to teach us here." "Well then what is it?" Cassidy questioned, Molly's eyes not leaving Korrin as she waited for some kind of answer from him.
He hesitated for a few moments, looking down at his deck before looking back up, "Well, obviously this information is valuable, can't exactly just give it away." "And what exactly are you asking she give you?" Anton questioned, his tone making it clear he'd intervene were Korrin up to something slimy. "Calm down, I don't want anything but a duel. Win, and I'll tell you about the duel spirits. Lose, and you never ask me again or mention it to anyone."
"Deal." Molly said without pausing for an instant. "I'll be right back, let me go get my duel disk." She said. "No need," Korrin said, leaning over his bed and pulling up a board from beneath it. It was probably even less tech than in the duel tables in the recreation room, but it was something that they could duel on, so it would work. Molly took her deck from her pocket and sat cross-legged on the bed, ready to duel for her info.
