//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 the pre-tournament days- day 1 // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh Darkness Over Canterlot High // by supersonicfan91 //------------------------------// The next day Shuffle and Card Shark looked at the school bulletin board to see all the details they could find on the tournament. The sign board said. 'The Schoolwide tournament will be know as an adapt tournament where something big as the style of the duel may change or something as some as small as a 3rd party will do all coin flips and dice rolls. Each duelist will receive a device the 1st day of the tournament to inform them of all changes and to track their ranking. The duel styles for each day can be one of the following three: Single, Match and, Tag Duels. The guest will greet all duelist on day two the details for them being in the tournament will be explained then, Till then have fun and keep learning. "Well the only thing i can think of doing for this is get new cards to mod our deck for the tournament." Shuffle read off the board "Well I think the first thing we need to do is to mod our decks a bit so we can be ready for anything." "Yeah so after school we are going to the golden crown right?" Shuffle nodded his head "Right we don't know what we are gonna face here pulse thouse guest you don't it would be them do you." "Look I can understand you want to be dramatic but don't play the pronoun game." Shuffle said just wanting a straight answer "You know the three heros of Domino city.." Shuffle just stared at Card Shark "OK fine, I'm talking about Yugi Muto, Joey Wheeler, and Seto Kaiba" "Now was that so hard." Shuffle told his friend "Besides why would any of them show up to this tournament they don't go to school here and on top of that one of them is the C.E.O. of Kaiba Corp. and I'm pretty sure they aren't in high school anymore for few years now so they wouldn't be transfer students and finally they're Japanese so I'm pretty sure they don't speak english." Card Shark stepped back to think for a second. "Now that I think about it that is true, and why would they even bother come here anyway, there would be no gain to coming to meet a bunch of highschoolers." Shark said "But didn't Yugi become know as the king of games after beating Pegasus at duelist kingdom and then won the Battle City Tournament shortly after all while in high school." Shuffle said as a rebuttal "Ok which side of the argument are you on?" Card Shark asked Shuffle getting annoyed of Shuffle's' counter arguments "The one with logic and evidence to back up said logic." Shuffle said messing with his friend smiled coyly at his victory of wits "Anyway we should get some new cards to upgrade our decks for the tournament so let's go to the golden crown after school to see what we get and try to mod them and use the next few days to see if they work out for us." Shuffle suggested to Card Shark "It sounds good to me Shuffle after all who knows what we will get out of the packs." Card Shark loving the idea "It's either that's or be idle and let our decks stagnate while someone potentially tries counting our cards to build a counter deck to them." Shuffle said believing its best to duel not know what's coming to be adaptable. cause if you know what's coming you can always find a way to prepare for it but a great duelist should be able to rethink his plan on the spot. "Sure that sounds like something that some people might try to do that." Card Shark said hoping to get more ways for him to summon Blue-Eyes on the field faster in his duels. After school the two rushed over to the card shop and bought some card packs "ok ready" "Yep" they each opened their packs and each got some cards from them in Shuffle's he some cards like Dark Magician Girl and Lemon Magician Girl and Dark Paladin. Card Shark on the other hand got cards like Neo-blue eyes Ultimate Dragon, Mirror Force, and Swords of Revealing Light. "Got any good cards Shark?" Shuffle asked his friend. "Of course I did, how about you?" Card shark asked Shuffle "Yeah." Shuffle said and nodded. "Anyway tomorrow starts the testing phase of our new decks before the tournament starts up after all so I'll see you tomorrow." "Of course you'll see me even if I get sick I'd just send a remote controlled duel robot in my place." Shark said basically trying to show how hyped he is to try out a new and improved version of his deck. "And you get the funds for that from where exactly." Shuffle asked "From the first national bank of shut-up that's where." Card Shark replied with so much sarcasm it could sink a boat. "What's your next idea to pitch a way for Kaiba Corp. to make a way to play Duel monsters on a motorcycle?" Shuffle said starting a sarcasm battle." "Hey that might happen." Card Shark replied "I highly doubt that." Shuffle said as they reached the point way they had to go home their separate ways.
