Hi readers! I am back with chapter 2! Wonder what's going to happen this chapter? Maybe a normal day. Can't have too much excitement before 'Reverse' comes but some interaction with the characters.
Normal POV
It was a normal day for Aichi in Miyaji High. Mostly... it was the same as middle school. Aichi sighed as the day passed.
When he went out of the school gate, he opened his bag and took out his deck. He looked at it for awhile and kept it again. He started walking to the very place he always goes to.
" I wonder what Hilda meant by 'We're going to be with you soon'? I hope it's not what I think." Aichi thought
Aichi continued walking to the place but stopped and looked behind him.
" Why do I sense a hot and passionate aura behind me? Must be my imagination." Aichi thought
He continued walking towards the place.
Aichi stopped as he stood in front of the doors of Card Capital.
" Hello!" Aichi greeted cheerfully
" Long time no see, Aichi Sendou." He heard a familiar voice
" Chris-kun, Lee-kun, Ali-kun! How have you guys been doing? It's really been a long time!" Aichi said
" Yeah. We've come to research the card-playing popularity in Japan, since Japan still has the most Vanguard fighters." Chris said
" You might be right. So, how's Mitsusada-san doing?" Aichi ask
" He's doing well! He's making awesome strides!" Chris replied
" Well, not like us though." Lee said
" Oh? Remind me, who lost to him last time?" Chris ask
Lee sweat drop.
" More importantly, I wanna meet a Japanese maid while I'm here!" Ali said
Aichi could only laugh awkwardly.
" What's wrong with you?" Lee ask
" What's the problem? Everyone looks forward to their own thing." Ali said
Aichi noticed at the corner of his eyes, Naoki was watching him.
" What's up, Sendou? You're like a totally different person here than at school! And you're buddies with some guys from another country? Talk about global! Anyway, how'd you get like this?" Naoki ask
" Um... This..." Aichi said while showing his deck
" What's this?" Naoki ask
" Cardfight." Aichi replied
" Cardfight?" Naoki repeated
" It's Vanguard. Don't tell me you've never heard about it? You fight each other with cards. It's a card game that's really popular worldwide." Chris explained
" Vanguard? Worldwide?" Naoki repeated
" That's right. A lot of countries hold international tournaments, too. You really don't know? It's common knowledge!" Lee said
" Common knowledge?" Naoki said, he placed Aichi's deck back on the table
" Oh boy, you're a goner. Girls aren't gonna go for a know-nothing like you." Ali said
" What did you say?!" Naoki ask, he faced Aichi
" Eh? Me?" Aichi said
" So this is Vanguard?" Naoki ask
" Uh huh. You use this deck to battle. Um, do you want to try it?" Aichi ask
" F-Fine, I'll play along once." Naoki replied
Shin passed him a deck. (Shin: Call me Manager!) They prepared their decks and starting Vanguards.
" Stand up, Vanguard!"
The battle continued until the sixth damage fell on Naoki's Damage Zone.
" 6 damage." Naoki said defeatingly
" So, the match is over. Ishida-kun?" Aichi ask
Naoki bought the deck and ran out of the shop. Aichi ran out of the shop as well but Naoki had already left. That was when Kai and the others appeared.
" So you had your first cardfight with someone from the same high school..." Miwa said
" But I got caught up in it and won..." Aichi said
" Nah, you went plenty easy on that hot-blooded kid, Aichi." Chris said
" Cause no matter how many times you tell him, he kept calling all of his cards, even the ones he could've used for guarding." Lee said
Miwa and Izaki directed their stare at Morikawa.
" What?!" Morikawa ask
" Beginners have the tenacity to devote themselves into attacking. That type's not popular with the ladies." Ali said
" As if you're the popular one." Morikawa said
That caused them to argue.
" You can't find a fellow Vanguard player from a good school like Miyaji Academy?" Izaki ask
" Nope, it's a school that focuses on preparing for college... Besides, there aren't kids who are interested..." Aichi said
" I see... We've got a Vanguard Boom at our school. Wanna transfer over?" Miwa ask
" Thank you. But..." Aichi sad
Kai suddenly stood up.
" If he bought a deck on his way out, that means he's interested in Vanguard." Kai said
" I see..."
" Get your act together. You're a leader, remember?" Kai said
" Oh that's, but... If Ishida-kun's interested in Vanguard, I've got to reach out to him. Thank you, Kai-kun!" Aichi thanked
" Geez... You're a different person when you fight..." Kai said
The next day
Aichi entered the class as usual.
" Good Morning!" He greeted
But he didn't see Naoki around yet.
" Looks like Ishida-kun is not here yet." Aichi said
Some time passes and Naoki finally entered the class but it was already time for lessons.
" Rise! Bow! Take your seats!"
" Morning! Starting today, we've got two new students joining our class. Come in." The teacher said
The two girls came in and Aichi was surprised.
" I am Tatsunagi Kourin!"
" Hildagarde. Pleased to meet everyone."
" Kourin-san?! Hilda?!" Aichi exclaimed
" This is our first day at Miyaji Academy. It's a pleasure to meet everyone." The two girls said
" Quiet, people! Quiet! Tatsunagi, your seat is over there. Hilda, your seat is over there." The teacher said
Surprisingly, Kourin was behind Aichi and Hilda was beside him too. Aichi took a bad time to greet Kourin too. He got a lot of glares and stares from his class.
~ After class~
" Tatsunagi and Hilda, I've got something to give you, so come to the faculty room." The teacher said
" Yes."
After that, Aichi was fired with questions from some of the boys in the class.
" Hey, Sendou, how do you know Kourin-chan and that blonde girl?!" One of the boys ask
" What's your relationship?" Another boy ask
" Hey, introduce me to them! Okay?! Okay?!" Another boy said
" U-Um... Uh..." Aichi said
He noticed Naoki staring at him and turned to leave.
" Ah! Ishida-kun!" Aichi called
" Hey, Sendou, are you gonna introduce me or what?!" The boy shot up and ask
Aichi could only laugh awkwardly.
" Hey, what are you doing?" A voice ask
Hilda was standing at the door. She marched forward.
" Hilda... They weren't doing anything, so relax." Aichi said
" I don't think so. So... what were you three doing to Nii-san?" Hilda ask
" Nii-san?" One of the boys said
" Hey, Hilda. That's enough." Aichi said
" But, Nii-san..." Hilda said
He grabbed her wrist and went outside with her and talked things out with her.
" Hilda, don't do that." Aichi said
" But, Nii-san..." Hilda said
" It's not like I'm like this in the first place, remember what I said back there? I wanted it to be like this. It holds lots of memories for me." Aichi said
" Then why don't you come back with me? Maybe everyone still remembers you. You helped kids back there too. But here..." Hilda said
" Hilda, you know why I'm here so there's no reason for me to go back yet. And... where is young master?" Aichi ask
" He's with Oga. One year above us. Furuichi and Kunieda are here too." Hilda replied
" I see. I hope they are not causing trouble. Now, let's go in." Aichi said
" Yes."
They went into the class to continue the lessons. Although, in the lessons, he could still feel stares.
After school, he told the news to the people in Card Capital. It caused disaster with Morikawa wanting to transfer in and stuff and almost letting Hilda draw her sword. Aichi had to stop her because of that. Although, it got him the idea of starting a cardfight club. Hilda also agreed to help.
~ At home~
Aichi and Hilda entered the house.
" Tadaima." Aichi greeted
" Welcome home, Aichi. Hello there, Hilda. It's so nice to see you again. Come in. Aichi, drop the disguise, there's no guests around." Shizuka said
" Okay!" Aichi said
Black mist surrounded him and he turned back to Aidagrade. She had told Shizuka and Emi about her form when she was young so it was no problem at home.
" Aida nee-san, what should we do now?" Hilda ask
" We should prepare some dinner first. I know you are still a beginner in these, so I'm going to teach you some." Aida said
" Okay."
" Mom, we'll cook dinner so please rest while we prepare dinner." Aida said
" Okay!" Shizuka said
~ In the kitchen~
" What do you think we should make?" Aida ask
" Croquettes. I only make those before." Hilda replied
" Okay then. Ah, but don't put in any tabasco. It's not what you expect like the demon world. I invited Oga-san and the others in school to come over for dinner. Young master will also be here." Aida said
" I see. Nee-san, what are you making?" Hilda ask
" Rice balls and some fried fish and vegetables." Aida said
" Rice balls?" Hilda ask
" Do you want to try making them?" Aida ask
" Sure."
" You use your bottom hand to squeeze the rice ball into shape, the hand on top just needs to push. Mold it with a rhythm. Try shaping it without doing it too many times. And it's done." Aida said
" Bottom hand to squeeze... Hand on top to push... Mold it with a rhythm... Is this okay?" Hilda ask
" It's great! Now, you should try making a soup later after doing the croquettes." Aida said
" Yes. But, I've never made a soup before either." Hilda said
" It's okay. Continue doing the croquettes. I'll teach you later." Aida said
" Thank you, nee-san." Hilda said
" It's fine. We're sisters, aren't we?" Aida said
" Yes."
Hilda finished making the croquettes and Aida taught her how to make a soup and finally, dinner was ready.
The doorbell rang.
" Hello!"
" Sorry to bother you." Kunieda said
" It's fine. Dinner is ready too. Why don't you come in?" Aida said
" Sure."
~ At dinner~
" Thanks for the food!"
" It's delicious!" Kunieda said
" It's true." Oga said
" Hilda-san made these croquettes?" Furuichi said
" She made the soup and rice balls too." Aida said
" Nee-san!" Hilda said
" It's fine. How is the food, young master?" Aida ask
" Aidabuh!" Beel said
" Koma-chan, how's the food?" Kunieda ask
Koma was beside her.
" Well, it's delicious!" Koma said
" You should really make dinner more often, Aida-chan!" Shizuka said
" I don't mind." Aida said
" Aida onee-san, you can make a good housewife." Emi teased
" E-Emi!" Aida said, she blushed
Hilda smiled at the situation.
" It's just like at Oga's house, except it's also really harmonious too. So this is what it feels like to have a family." Hilda thought
~ After dinner~
Hilda, Aida and Kunieda cleaned the dishes and headed up to Aida's room.
" So you're planning on starting a cardfight club on your own?" Furuichi said
" Why don't we join too? I mean, how hard can it be?" Kunieda said
" Yeah, nee-san." Hilda agreed
" I'm glad you want to join but you still don't have a deck." Aida said
" We can just get one." Oga said
" Aidabuh! Da, da, da!" Beel said
" Thank you. I appreciate it. I'll hand out these posters tomorrow at school. We'll see what happens then." Aida said
They nodded.
The next day
Aida changed back to Aichi and he left for school and handed out the posters, but it wasn't going well, until Kourin passed by and decided to join the club, much to Aichi's surprise, lots of boys and fangirls decided to join too. The condition to join was to beat the members in a fight. It included Oga and the others who still didn't have a deck.
" Let's start." Kourin said
" Right!" Aichi said
" Stand up, Vanguard!"
~ A few cardfights later~
Nobody was able to beat the both of them.
" None of them won, huh?" Kourin said
" Nope..." Aichi said
" It can't be helped. We'll have to start the club with just all of us here." Kourin said
" Wait a second!" They heard someone said
Naoki approached them.
" I wanna join the Cardfight Club." Naoki said
" Ishida-kun! So you're interested in Vanguard after all, huh?" Aichi said
" Yeah. A little..." Naoki said
" Fine. If you beat me, we'll let you in." Kourin said
" Stand up, Vanguard!"
~ After the cardfight~
Naoki was able to join the Cardfight Club after beating Kourin. But when Naoki touched Aichi's shoulders and shook him for confirmation, Hilda almost drew her sword, if Oga and Furuichi didn't stop her, she would have killed him.
This was now the start of their high school life. But as time passes... they might be in for a big trial.
That's the end of this chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed it! I'll see everyone in the next chapter! Bye bye!
