Shuffle and Card Shark was leaving School for the day to continue to work on their decks for the tournament until they felt just right. To do this they was gonna head over to the Golden Crown card shop when a girl stopped them and said "Your Shuffle and Card Shark right?"
The two friends looked at each other with an expression that said I don't know who this is do you? Then they looked back at her and said in unision "yeah that's us."
"Good cause I have something I wanted to ask you." she said before asking her question giving them no time to answer. "Will you be my mentors and teach me how to play Duel monsters?"
They stood there with a shocked expression before Card Shark eventually asked "Why us? We don't even know you."
"Well the the truth is I was waiting for a great duelist to teach me so I was searching watching hundreds of duels. Though my research when I saw you two duel it seemed like you two are considered two of the mostly likely to get in the rumored top 10 prize going around."
Shuffle responded with"Wait one off the prizes is nothing but a rumor right now."
"That's right its said the top 10 students in the Tournament will get full scholarships to go to Duel Academy. I always wanted to go there it sounds like so much fun." The girl explained
Shuffle then said "I know that sounds fun its just doesn't sound very likely unless the school tournament is sponsored by Kaiba Corp."
"Actually according to what I looked up I have reason to think we are after all Principal Celestia herself said 3 Legendary Duelist were coming to school during the tournament." The girl explained
"That's true anyway do you even have a deck made for the tournament?" Card Shark asked the girl
The girl started to look nervous and said "Well somewhat I got my cards right here that I'm using to make a warrior deck but I want to slim it to around 40 cards from the currently 65 excluding the extra deck. Its hard I like all of the effects so much that makes each one useful." She said handing the cards over to be looked over.
Shuffle being the person he is decided to help her out and said "Well I'll help out on two conditions."
"That's great what are they." The girl responded being overly eager to get her deck ready
"One you have to duel us after we finish it." The girl nodding her head rapidly to this information. "and two tell us your name we can't call you that girl forever."
The girl just stood there after realizing she never said her name once. "I'm sorry, so so sorry my name Gale Storm, like the wind."
"Well Gale its nice to meet you." Card Shark said
"Same here." She said
"Ok then since that's all settled now there some tables at the Golden Crown to help finish your deck." Shuffle said and then the three went to the Golden Crown card shop to hangout and work on there decks.
