"Ah, James, so glad you could make it, you are one of the best duellists in the DMH, we need you to take care of those pesky kids that keep beating us" said the boss

"Yes sir, I will not disappoint you" said James

"You better not, because if you do, you will be fired" said the boss

"I am James, I am a member of the DMH, and an undefeated duelling champion, I'm here to challenge you right now" said James
