Sticks littered the floor of the Academia training ground. In the center, a lone figure stood, breathing hard, a sheen of sweat covering his forehead.
"Not enough...it wasn't enough..." Sora grit his teeth and drew a card from his deck. He glared at the card and threw it on the ground amongst the others already piling up. Taking a bite out of a new lollipop he had taken out of his pocket, he sat down and began rummaging through the fallen cards. The only sounds in the training ground were his shuffling and crunching of the candy.
"How did he get that dragon? Did that Xyz loser give it to him?" he picked up a copy of Furnimal Mouse. "I need to go back...I need to defeat him...I didn't try hard enough...I was still holding back..."
"Didn't you teach Yuzu to Fusion Summon because you were her friend? Sora!"
I don't need your friendship, Sakaki Yuuya! Next time...next time, I WILL defeat you!
