Chapter 9 Justice
[Aster's POV]
I stood in the dueling area, waiting. White smoke was swirling around me, covering my appearance. My opponent, Ronald Richardson was already late for 20 minutes.
'...with 10 more minutes, Richardson will undergo disqualification from this duel! Will he appear or not?' The speaker sounded bored, trying to catch the audience's attention. I was feeling bored myself.
I could hear the discontent criticism coming from the audience.
'Did you miss me, Aster?' A voice sneered from the far side of the arena. As the smoke swirling around me started to separate, I watched a black figure moving towards the opposite dueling position. Ronald Richardson, around 25 years-old emerged from his thick black cloak. His hazel eyes were in silts, glaring at me with a villainous smile. His hair was gelled up into chaotic spikes pointing everywhere at any direction.
Behind him was his family. His sister was pointing at me rudely with her index finger stretched out. She had unnatural blonde hair and extravagant curls covering her heavily foundationed face. Mr. Richardson was wearing a purple tuxedo with matching shoes, which clashed with his curly brown hair. Ronald's sister was waving at me, moving her arms widely, desperately trying to catch my attention. She looked like an octopus squirting ink. I pretended not to see her frantic actions by scanning around the dome. I have NEVER seen the dome this empty before.
'Aster, are you scared?' Ronald continued to sneer as he attached his duel disk on his arm. 'I promise not to beat the crap out of you!'
'Let's get this duel started,' I stated, giving him one of my cold glares.
'Duel!' We both yelled in unison.
[Casey's POV]
[15 minutes]
15 minutes had only just past and Ronald was heavily behind at 100 LP (Life Points for short...haha I'm lazy XP) in contrast to Aster who still had 4000 LP.
It was Aster's turn now. He drew a card and activated it straight away, without any hesitation.
'I activate the spell," Pot of Greed"' He yelled out, 'This allows me to draw 2 additional cards and add it to my hand.'
'That's CHEATING!' Ronald yelled out. 'You can't have that card in your deck.'
'Yes I can! That card is in every dueling deck,' Aster stated confidently, his expression was as cold as ice.
'That's cheating!' Ronald continued yelling childishly, 'That card's ability isn't that anyway!'
'What is it then?'
'It allows you to destroy your opponent's monster!'
Aster was fully laughing. The critics that remained were laughing. Even the speaker was laughing at Ronald.
'Stop laughing,' Ronald yelled, 'Stop laughing! All of you, SHUT UP!'
I could not help but to grin at the horrified Ronald on my computer screen. There was no way he could argue against Aster, prodigy of duel monsters.
Ryan looked troubled as he realized his son had made himself a laughing stock in front of critics and the entire dueling nation.
'You need a dictionary,' Aster was laughing too much, on the verge of tears. 'Speaker, can you please give Mr. Richardson the definition of "Pot of Greed"?'
'"Pot of Greed" is the card, where activated, allows the duelist to draw 2 more cards and add it to his or her hand without any sacrifices.'
'Do you understand now, Mr. Richardson?' Aster asked as he regained his composure. Ronald was livid. His face was dark red from embarrassment.
'I'm leaving,' He mumbled. 'This is bullshit!' He yelled at Aster as he yanked off his duel disk roughly. Ryan stood up instantly and shook Regina on the shoulder to wake her up from her dreamy stance.
'Due to Mr. Richardson's early leave, the duel goes to Mr. Phoenix!' The speaker announced as Ronald walked off the stage.
'You better apologize,' Aster yelled out, 'To that person you called a fraud! I saw it all!' Ronald glared back under his black hood at the exit. His eyes were serpent-like as he turned around and walked towards the exit.
I closed off all windows and shut down my computer. Aster was great, like usual, except I did not understand what he meant by the last part.
You better apologize, to that person you called a fraud
I saw it all...
His voice echoed in my head as I pondered over those words repeatedly.
I saw it all...
