Hello again, everyone! Viper here. I uploaded the first twelve chapters really fast (well, this one too) and didn't pause to thank the people that were supporting me while I writing this story, which makes me feel really rude and ungrateful. So, without waiting any longer, I'd really like to thank heartbreakerninja and ScarletMucy for giving me the courage to finally publish this, and Blackcat0989 and hikaru1012 for just being awesome. I want to give a shout out to my first subscriber: Lover Of Yuki Judai And Haou and also to DFDP14, who just added this story to her favorites (which is awesome for me). You guys all rock, and thanks again for supporting me while I'm working on this story.
Asuka's POV, second person
Just what happened to Marie in that match? Asuka wondered, wandering the spacious library. Judai's eyes glowed when Marie called out her dragon, which meant that he was using Yubel's power. Then Marie beat Greg, causing him to collapse. Not to mention her little tyrant act. When she saw Greg beaten on the ground, she just sneered at him. Marie was always good-natured and was never cruel towards people. She was always a little anti-social, but that went far beyond anti-social. That was plain resentment in her eyes.
Was the dragon to blame? Marie seemed in horrible shape herself when she tried to go up the bleacher steps. If Judai hadn't stopped her, she would've fallen pretty hard. Plus, what Marie said just before she passed out was still bothering Asuka. It was as if Marie suddenly felt that Asuka had abandoned her.
Asuka absently pulled a book about the Crimson Beast deck from the shelves and paged through it. Odd. All the Crimson Beasts should have been mentioned in the book. The spells and traps may change, but a full Crimson Beast deck would have all the monsters listed in the book. And Marie did have a full Crimson Beast deck. But she also had one extra card.
Moving onto another book, Asuka searched to see if there was a mistake with the first. She repeated this process until she exhausted all the books about the Crimson Beasts. In not one book did they mention a Crimson Dragon of Rage. Or any sort of Crimson Dragon, really. There were supporter reptiles, but no real dragons.
How could that be? That dragon was a Crimson Beast, so why was it not listed as part of the Crimson Beast deck? Plus, it's power was incredible. Just like Osiris.
Acting a sudden burst of inspiration, Asuka walked over to the back half of the library. This section was shadowed, almost dusty from misuse. No one had visitied this area in a while, except to clean occasionally.
And at the very back of this shadowed area, hidden in a corner was a fenced-off restricted area. Asuka attempted to run her teacher ID through the scanner, but the machine rebuked her command. Words scrolled across the small screen: anyone wanting to gain access to the restricted area must have an authorized ID, which can be obtained from a consenting administrator.
Asuka cursed quietly under her breath. In this restricted area was information about the Egyptian god cards. Maybe there would be information on this mysterious dragon. But she, a teacher, was denied access to this information. Perhaps Mr. Thompson had the power to allow her to enter this locked vault.
Oh, well. There was information that Asuka could gain as a teacher without a special ID. Asuka hurried out of the library to rush back to her room. She was going to research Marie's past.
