NPD Breaking News
Nippon Professional Dueling has made an announcement regarding two duelists who were suspended last month, Isabel Marias and Timur Vesik.
Isabel Marias' suspension has been overturned and she is cleared to return to action, effective immediately. Meanwhile, Timur Vesik's suspension has been upgraded to a 1-year ban and a 25 Million Yen fine.
The statement from NPD mentioned that "Isabel Marias has cooperated with this investigation at every turn and after consultation with outside firms that are knowledgeable about the supernatural, our conclusion is that the actions of Isabel Marias were more pointed towards ensuring the safety of the NPD audience and personnel in the building that night than putting them in any further danger. Meanwhile, Timur Vesik and Jean-Michel Roget have refused all attempts at contact and have done nothing to refute the accounts of both Isabel Marias and outside experts who claim that any danger was squarely as a result of Timur Vesik's actions. Given this obstinance, the NPD is left with no choice but to ban Timur Vesik from any and all participation in NPD activities."
The ban on Timur Vesik will not go into effect until either Vesik or a representative of his make a statement and pay his fine. Effectively, as long as Vesik and his manager Roget refuse to cooperate with the NPD, the year long ban never actually starts and is, effectively, a lifetime ban. Neither Vesik or Roget have been seen or heard for nearly a couple of weeks, at this point. A representative of the Russian league said they have been in contact with a representative of Vesik's and they have no other comment at the moment.
With Isabel Marias' reinstatement to the league, the NPD was quick to book her at the Duel Festival in a rematch with the champion, Akaba Reiji, in a duel for the Action Dueling World Championship. Part of Marias' contract as the first champion was a necessary 1-on-1 rematch against whoever defeated her to take the championship. The first attempt at a rematch was interrupted almost immediately by Timur Vesik and the next duel was a 3-way involving Vesik, meaning the uninterrupted 1-on-1 rematch between Marias and Akaba will finally take place at the Duel Festival.
