[DUEL FESTIVAL - DAY 7]

*It's the seventh day of the Festival, in the morning.

And to a lot of people's surprise, it seems like everything's getting packed up. Most of the booths and stands are closed down and getting put away, but it looks like the day's main event is still planned to commence. On the schedules everyone can access, there is only one event for the arena: "Wonder Quartet".

Up until this point, everyone assumed this to be basically a regular tournament to top off the event while everyone enjoyed their final day, but it seems like there's something more, with how hurried the organizers are.

Notably though, around the areas where screens are set up to show dueling video, online streams, and at the arena, there's two countdowns present-- one being for in a few minutes to something simply noted as "Announcement", and the other being for the oft-rumored "Wonder Quartet", a half-hour after that, starting at noon.

Best thing to do right now is to head for the arena, or watch one of the screens present or on your computer/phone/internet device of your choice.*

*Yuya looks around quickly towards the voice.*

Hayate?!

What do you mean you were surprised I got into it?

He means you're in attentive as shit.

::Near in front of you suddenly is that other Ryozanpaku member, the one with a blonde 'do and a big wild coat.

Hayate himself is sitting up in a dead tree.::

*Yuya doesn't move, but his eyes dart from Hayate to Homura and back. Were they planning on doubling up against him?*

I got into this event the same way as everyone else.

I think you lucked into it.

But that's not the point.

::She loads up her Disk as Hayate leaps down and does the same.::

We're both challenging you to a Duel, and taking you out early.

*So his hunch was right. They were planning to double up on him.
And the rules state that he isn't able to refuse. The challenge had to be accepted.

Yuya loads up his Disk in acceptance of the duel, though right now he was feeling very cornered.*

Then I'll take you both on!

Naturally we'll be putting up our Shards of Powers. In return, I think it should be fair we get something split between us. I think my partner has what she wants in mind.

::Opens his coat, revealing multiple secured decks in the inside pockets.::

My partner can have all the Shards of Power in the world for all I care. I just want that Dragon you humiliated Kachidoki-senpai with!

You want Dark Rebellion?!

*Yuya looks at the both of them nervously. Not only would he be putting up his Shard of Power, but Dark Rebellion too? He couldn't let them get a hold of the dragon Yuto entrusted to him.
Also Shun would probably do worse than slamming him against a locker if that happened...
But in the end, he had no choice.*

Fine. I'll put up my Shard of Power.
And Dark Rebellion.

[Duel Log]

And the first major Duel of the Wonder Quartet has concluded! Sakaki Yuya scores over 3 Shards of Power using the combination of Action Cards and his new Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon! Turning a Duel like this against the odds shows skill and definite talent! And for now, he's one to beat in the Quartet!

::Finally sits up, rubbing her stomach gingerly, not looking Shian in the eye.::

*has been waiting. and that's fair. They're keeping a decent clip away from you.*

... You going to be okay to move, you think?

yeah, sure. fine. whatever. you're clearly with the rich kid.

::Moves herself onto her knees, whatever Hayate hit her with, probably had steel tip boots or some shit.::

That "rich kid" would've probably helped carry you to safety on his back with you hitting him the whole way, if he was allowed to, given that he approached you even under risk of you doing just that.

But instead, you're stuck with me right now.

And then he'd smash my skull like he did my Senpai.

Yeah, if you wanna think that, then sure. But I've seen enough cards with weird powers to at least get what's going on.

But you can keep thinking "he's a malevolent rich kid" if you want. I'm not here to stop you. *... they're not?*

Uh huh. Moment I stand up, you'll bash my head with a rock under his orders. I know how rich people work, they kick people like me when we're down.

Oh, I won't do that.

I've gotten my head bashed in by a rich person before. I'm not eager to repeat it. *... they say that so straight-faced that you're not sure if they're joking or not*

...

::Stares dumbfounded.::

Literally right around... here.

*they tap right around the back top of their head, and it's such an exact spot too* You ever actually get your skull cracked open? A rock would definitely do that.

But a lamp does it all the same, too, with enough force.

*... whoever this person is, they're pretty... grim.*

... Why are you telling me this.

I'm making it clear here. I don't take comments about getting hit in the head lightly. And I've seen that happen enough now in the past some months here. *they lower their hand*

But you know what? That's my hang-up. And it's not on me to expect anyone else to accommodate for it, or to react differently to me. That'd just be selfish and ignorant on my part.

And it's selfish how these rich people keep trampling over people like me. My school's probably going to close because of that rich do-nothing.

::Pushes herself up.::

Yeah, and that's your hang-up.

So "Shut up and deal with it and let them push you around"

::On her legs, wobbly.::

Got it.

You got two-thirds of that right.

Yeah, you should shut up. Yeah, you should deal with it. But I never said to let anyone push you around.

I mean, you're welcome to ignore me. Like I said, it's not on me to expect anyone to accommodate to me. But I will say that maybe you should start looking at yourself first before you start slinging blame onto everyone who isn't specifically you and on your level of standard of living.

*they stretch out, cricking their neck*
