Chapter 2- The Strongest Form of Duelling! It's Called Action Duel!

He… won?

Pendulum?

Yuya?

Pendulum Summon!?

Our Yuya…

What is a Pendulum Summon!?

Won?

The crowd was silent.

"Did he win?" I ask stupidly. I already know the answer but I just had to double check that I hadn't imagined the whole thing.

"Yeah,"

I waved as his mother shouted over the stand that he had won. Defeated him for his father.

"It was awesome, Yuya!" I backed up her words.

The next day, i almost fell over at the long queue outside the school. It weaved down the pavement and out the street. I quickly got behind the reception desk and began helping people who had been queuing for hours. Every single one of them wanting an entry form. Was i even awake? I pinched myself several times but it wasn't a dream.

"All these people want to join our duel school?" Ayu asked.

"For this who wish to apply to our duel school, please fill out these application forms with your name!" I explained, my face falling at how many entries were wanted.

I explained to the little ones that the new duelling system had been set up and my father was currently hugging it.

"You're the one from before," I crouch down to a little blue haired boy who had been the day before the match with Strong Ishijima. He smiled at me slightly.

My father stopped droning on and on my Yuya interrupting with his usual 'ladies and gentlemen' call. They all turned to see Yuya standing by himself in the arena.

"Welcome to my one-man show!" he cried, not seeing me coming up behind him until I had slapped him with my fan.

"Whatdya mean 'one man show'? You can't duel by yourself!" I snapped.

And just because of that one little smack, people started accusing me of bullying him and to forfeit the match.

"I get it… I'm playing that part…" I said in fake anger, desperately trying to hide my tears.

"Yuya! Don't go and get big headed just cuz your famous now!" I pointed at him.

He blanked. I whispered in his ear to play along.

Then, he starts harping on about me being 'Miss Strong Ishijima'. This was getting worse by the minute. I didn't care if Yuya was famous now. I just wanted to kick his ass. Granted, I did tell him to 'play the part' but this was a bit excessive.

The duel was normal. Like how we duelled before his match against Ishijima. Like last month, last year, the first time we ever played. He may be famous but he was still the same and I knew how to beat him.

If Yuya can get famous with his skill, then I can too! A voice whispered in the back of my head. But did I really want that?

Then, he tried that summon. I held my breath. This was going to turn this duel around. The whole world around and I was going to witness-

Error.

He tried again but no luck came. He tried to get himself into a pinch, like when he duelled the day before but it still came up with the red letters of failure.

And the audience were not very impressed. They were already gone, accusing Yuya of cheating and changing the settings yesterday.

Please, that was giving him way too much credit. He would have to find the main computer, slip past the guards and alter the settings. Yuya can barely use an electric toothbrush, let alone a duel computer.

Yuya refused to leave. He wanted to understand how to Pendulum summon, even if it took all night, all week, all year or his whole life.

I sighed and left, not bothering to mention that, even if he was going to spend his whole life trying to Pendulum Summon, we still had maths homework due tomorrow.
