"Next up is Shouri Sakini against Asuna Akihiko!" The announcer announced.
Both Shouri and Asuna stepped into the field. Asuna had long red hair and blue eyes, and a smile.
"Ready?" She asked.
"When am I not?" Shouri replied.
"Okay then. . ."
"STAND UP, MY VANGUARD!!"
"STAND UP, THE VANGUARD!!"
"Promising Arbiter, Rygart! (5000)"
"Starting Ripple, Alecs! (4000)"
"You wanna go first?" Shouri asked.
"Sure. I draw and I ride Silent Ripple, Sotirio! (7000) I use Alecs' skill. Since I rode Sotirio, I get to check the top seven cards for either Thundering Ripple, Genovious, or Rising Ripple, Pavroth. I choose Genovious, and I end turn."

Counter blast one and I bind Misa. Your Vanguard gets a minus 5000."
"Is your deck like the Shadow Paladin Witches?!"
"Wait hold on. . ."
"Now that she mentioned it, I think she's right," En Chyn said, looking at Mr. Kagurai and Mesagi, the latter being too busy with which should be with which, which is very witch-y and which witch was which.
I CAN'T HELP WITH THE TONGUE TWISTING!!!
"Let's just continue," Shouri said.
"Okay then. Miltiadis gets minus 5000, which makes him 6000."
"I use Seal Keeper's skill. Counter blast one and I bind Misa. Your vanguard gets another 5000 minus! I call Chain Slinger Dragon (11000) and it attacks first. Since it's attacking the vanguard, your vanguard got minus 2000. (RR,M: -1000)"
"I guard with Surge Breath Dracokid and Supersonic Sailor! (14000)"
"And now, Vanguard attack! (26000)"
"No guard."
"Triple drive. (White-chain of Seven Hits, Daumier, critical) critical trigger! Five thousand to Cheney and critical stays to Vanguard. Second. (Forbidden Runner, draw) draw trigger. Five thousand to Cheney and draw. Third. (Arbiter of Ravage Shackles, Kuriki, critical) another critical. Five thousand to Cheney and critical stays to Vanguard. (DFC,SK: 3★; AoLC,C: 24000)"
"Three crits out of the blow!!" The announcer yelled out.
"Damage check. (Battle Siren, Carolina, heal) heal trigger. Five thousand to Vanguard and heal. Second. (Unruly Ripple, Lapis) third. . . . . (Emerald Shield, Paschal) . . . You win."
"And the winner is Touken Ranbu Academy with 2-0 wins!!" The announcer yelled.
"Dude, you're being underrated right now," Sekkutsu said to the announcer. The announcer went into despair mode.
Both cardfighters packed their cards and went to their respective sides.
"Shouri, that was great!" En Chyn said to him.
"Yeah, yeah."
Shouri walked out, probably towards the bathroom. Mesagi had finished choosing.
"Who won?" He asked.
Meanwhile
"It's okay, Asuna. Winning or losing is just part of life," Kairi assured Asuna.
"I know. Thanks for your support."
There was a ringtone suddenly playing.
"Oh, that's probably Headmistress," Otokoe said, before she found the source of the sound which came from a cellphone, and she picked up the phone call.
"I am surprised," the voice said, as Otokoe puts it on loudspeaker.
"We're sorry that we lost," Kairi said.
"It's alright.
