ChapterII- The Duel Club

Ema

Hi, nice to meet you! My name is Ema Nishimiya and I am 15 years old. I have sawn my big brother's notes on the journal and I told him to write it together. Before I start writing what have happened to us I just want to introduce ourselves more properly. To begin with me – I study at a Language High School in Varna, I like reading books and learning languages. My brother is 16 years old and he studies for an IT Specialist, he even made my computer and fixed the TV etc. He likes technologies. Anyway, enough with the introductions lets continue the story.

15thSeptember

"Wake up, it 7:30 mistress!" I heard the voice of one maid.

I woke up made a quick care of my hair, I got dressed, take one new book from my shelf and headed to the kitchen for my breakfast.

Sky was already there and was drinking his favorite green tea.

"Have you slept well, big brother?" I asked.

"Not for sure, sister!" he answered. "Not after the message we listened yesterday, even you didn't slept well, did you?

"How do you know?" I asked.

"The answer is simple! You are always at the kitchen before me every morning." He answered.

"Yeah, quite right, big brother! We have forgotten to open the two envelopes to see the decks!"

"Here they are, mistress!" said the butler and put the envelopes on the table.

After the envelopes he also served the breakfast. It was a simple breakfast! A fruit salad, but whatever…

One of the envelopes had my name written on it, so I took it and opened it to see the deck. It was an "Amazoness" Deck as I saw that all of the monsters in my deck were female warriors. There was also a little note inside it was saying "Because you liked Amazon myths when you were younger."

I really liked Amazon myths when I was little and I was pleased by my present.

"What Deck you got, big brother? Mine is based on Amazons!"

"Mine deck is full of knights from the Round Table of Camelot, from the King Arthur's legends!" He answered. "They knew it! The fact I loved knight stories when I was younger!"

"I see. Mom was wrong! They were good parents and we have to save them or…"

"I don't want to interrupt you my mistress but if you don't hurry you will be late for the opening ceremony!" said the butler.

"We totally forgot that today is fifteenth!" me and Sky said together.

We hurried to leave the house and our own car driver was waiting for us (we have that too, Sky didn't mention it).

We arrived on time for the opening ceremony and… I'll just skip it because it was boring! So after I met my old classmates I heard from someone that there is a Duel Club room somewhere in the mall. So I decided to call my brother and tell him to go there before we go home!

An hour after the call we got to the mall searching for the club room. We actually took our decks with us without realizing it, but they will be helpful right now.

We found the club room and opened the door and entered inside. The inside resembled a bar but with a card shop corner next to the bar side.

"Welcome to our Duel club!" said the bartender. "You can meet with the other members and become good friends. If you don't know the rules here, read the rules…"

He handed us a little pocket book. I took it and after a minute I said

"I know the rules now!"

"Good. Now you should tell me too." said Sky.

"That is impressive you know! It took me several weeks to know each detail of the game." Said one of the club members, she has blue hair and everything she wears was blue colored. "Now we should introduce ourselves! My name is Zyra Shadows; I am an exchange student from Canada. I use the "Shaddoll" archetype. The others now!"

"My name is Adriana Dimitrieva, I am an exchange student from Czech Republic. I use the "Ally of Justice" archetype and with them I crush the light, nice to meet you!" said the girl with the black hair and with the black clothes.

"My name is Tatsui Igunaito, I am an exchange student from Japan and I use the "Igknight" archetype." said the only dude at the company.

"My name is Kristiana Ivanova and I am not an exchange student. I love everything about Ancient Egypt and my dream is to become an Egyptologist. I use the "Gravekeeper's " archetype." Said the orange lady (By orange I mean she was wearing orange).

"Nice to meet you! My name is Sky Nishimiya and I am new to this game, I don't know the rules right now. I use the "Noble Knights" " said my brother.

"Nice to meet you too! My name is Ema Nishimiya and I just learned the rules of this game. I use an Amazon themed deck" I said.

"If you learned them, come here to test you!" said Kristiana.

"Ok." I said.

The duel began with both players having 8000 life points.

Turn 1: Ema

"I activate a Spell card "Reinforcement of the Army". And with its effect I can add 1 Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from my deck to my hand."
