The Inside of the Mansion was Gorgeous. it was Just as Grand As The Outside
The Foyer Was all White, a White roof, awhite floor, and even white pillars, there was white everything. It was almost like a palace from a fairy tale. The only thing that wasn't white was A Chandelier Which was covered in Gold. Around the room were shelves of books and expensive artistry such as vases,paintings and sculptures. There were a myriad of doors with unique designs on them but they all appeared to be Closed.
The exquisiteness of the room really showed who the host was as a person.
Cael: Amazing!
I relented to myself as I entered.
Although Ohsaka Was at my side, she still had the same dull expression on her face as usual.
Ohsaka: … I've seen better.
Cael: Do you always have to be so…. Cynical?
Ohsaka: yes.
She quipped.
Cael: *Sigh*
I sighed and turned my head, Looking around. Their didn't seem to be any sign of our host von aries. In Fact there were only two other people in the room with us….
The first one was someone unfamiliar to me. It was a guy, slightly older than me near the end of the stairs. He Had His Foot Against a Pillar And Was Leaning Against It. He Had orange spiked hair with blue eyes And was wearing a brownish-orange Jacket. His appearance looked oftly foreign and kind of reminded me of someone...
He Had A Stubborn Look On His Face Like He Really Didnt Want to Be Here.
The other person was someone I knew all too well…
Leonaidis Biancho.
He Was Someone I knew Since Childhood And My Former Best Friend
But After Waking Up From A coma For Several Years, He Had Changed Into A More Cold Distant Person,
Leonaidis Was Sitting Down On A Velvet Couch In the Back Of the room
Leonaidis Was an interesting case, At Least when it came to physicality
He Had pure Yellow Hair And Blue eyes, He was the pinnacle of what a teenage male could look like and this made him very popular with girls, also helped by the fact he the son to a very rich family tycoon.
Leonaidis was wearing His Classic white Vest And White pants , If It wasn't For His Yellow Hair I wouldn't be able to Tell Him Apart From Anything else in this room.
Leonaidis: …!
Leonaidis looked up and noticed me looking at him, I tried to look away but it was too late. He walked over to me with a glint in his eyes and a certain swagger in his steps. He stopped just about 10 inches away from and smirked.
Leonaidis: Well, Well, well. If it isn't the prodigal child - cael abel!
Cael: ... Hey leonaidis.
Leonaidis: It's been awhile, Hasn't it? Haven't seen you in about a month! How have you been?
Cael: Not great.
Leonaidis: Hmm? Why?
Cael: You broke my wrist!
I said looking at him in the eye.
Leonaidis: Come on now. You know full well that you fell down on your own.
Cael: *tch*
Leonaidis was technically right. I lost the duel and Fell down The stairs behind me as a result...
Leonaidis: -So let's not play the blame game and focus on you.
Cael: What about me?
Leonaidis: The fact that you made it all the way to the final 8! Congratulations buddy!
He clapped his hands.
Cael: Does everything you say have to have a sarcastic undertone to it?
Leonaidis: No, I'm serious! I thought someone with your skill level wound have been eliminated at round 5! but somehow you managed to press on! Even with a broken wrist! I'm impressed.
Cael: Whatever…..
I mumbled.
Leonaidis: -And to top it off. You got a hot girlfriend.
He stated as he looked at ohsaka. Ohsaka had moved halfway across the room without me even noticing. She was staring at on of the paintings on the wall.
Cael: She's not my girlfriend!
Leonaidis: Yeah I thought so. She seemed way out of your league; Just hopeful thinking was all.
He joked.
Leonaidis: You know, You could've at least dressed up for this event. You're still wearing your school clothes!
Cael: I didn't want to walk the way home and then walk the way to this mansion. It would have been exhausting!
Leonaidis: Ah classic laziness. Listen cael. You're never going to get anywhere with that attitude.
Leonaidis: You see that guy over there?
He pointed to to the person leaning against the pillar.
Leonaidis: That's azuma tenkojin - Famous duelist from the Shinohara protectorate. He probably didn't get this far by being lazy, He probably struggled and persevered through amazing discrimination in this city to get this far.
Cael: -And so? I've struggled before. It's not anything special!
Leonaidis: The only you've struggled with is not wetting the bed.
Cael: Y-You are really reaching for these insults now aren't you?
Leonaidis: Yeah. That wasn't my best one... But regardless, You should strive to be more like Azuma. Just a suggestion.
Leonaidis snapped his fingers and walked away, going back to the couch where he sat before.
He was the same as usual - Snarky,Sarcastic,Witty,Chatty,Annoying and a whole bunch of other adverbs I could ascribe to him. Weirdly enough, I really couldn't bring myself to hold a grudge against him. I don't know if it was because of his charm or the fact he was my best friend that isn't letting me hate him.
Destiny had reunited me and leonaidis but…. It seemed futile as he not changed from the despotic person who defeated me a month ago.
