After finding the rooms that were assigned to them, the Duelists were summoned to the dining room to eat while getting the details of how the tournament would go from here on out.
"Oh man! I'm starving!" Jounouchi yelled out while salivating.
"This chicken is so good!" Honda exclaimed with a full mouth.
"Hey, don't hog all the food to yourselves!" Akia called her friends out.
Pegasus was watching the scene, amused by how well his plan was going. He wasn't expecting the girl with the Millennium Scale to actually make it this far, yet there she was, right where he wanted her. She was able to make it even with the Star Chip Hunters making sure there wouldn't be an extra finalist. It was time to announce who will be dueling who.
"Alright everyone, settle down," Pegasus requested the finalists' attention.
Everyone's gaze shifted to the silver-haired man.
"Considering we have one more Duelist than predicted, one of you will have to Duel more times than others. If you look in front of you..." The tournament organizer announced.
As the duelists looked in front of them at the bowl of soup that was just recently served to them, an eye, made out of gold emerges from every plate.
"Ah! Gross!" Jounouchi shouted in disgust.
"Inside of those, you will be assigned a number that will pit you against the one with the same number as you," Pegasus explained.
Akia picked the eyeball that was floating in her soup and opened it. A slip of paper was inside. As she opened it, she found the number 1 written on it.
"If everyone can now show your slip of paper to everyone," the man invited them to do as he said.
They flipped the paper towards the others, getting a good look at who would be their opponent.
Keith had number 1 also written on his paper. Akia assumed this meant he was her first opponent. That was totally fine by her. She was looking forward to wiping the floor with him. Yugi and Mai had 2-A written on their paper. Jounouchi had 2-B written on his.
"Well, that settles it. The first match will be Mutou Akia against Keith Howard. The second match will be Mutou Yugi versus Kujaku Mai. The winner of that match will be put against Jounouchi Katsuya. The Duels will begin tomorrow, so you better prepare well. To claim your prizes, you will need one of these two cards that were sent to you," Pegasus told them.
Pegasus took out Glory of the King's Hand, a card depicting a golden treasure, and Glory of the King's Opposite Hand, a blank card.
"Oh no! I don't have any of those! Maybe Yugi... No, we both want the same card. We don't want the Glory of the King's Hand, since it's just the prize money," Akia started to panic, but then she felt someone tapping her on the shoulder. She turned to her left and saw Mai handing her her Glory of the King's Opposite Hand.
"Mai-san..." The red-eyed girl whispered to her friend.
"Isn't that the card you need? You're not after the prize money anyways," Mai explained her reasoning.
Akia smiled at Mai and took the card, "thank you so much! You're a lifesaver!"
Mai smiled back at Akia, "don't mention it. Just make sure you don't lose a single Life Point to that asshole, unless it's really necessary."
"Haha, you don't like him either, Mai-san."
"Who would?"
"Good point."
