Duel Academy, school building.
Two Ra Yellow students, one tall, and one short, walked down the hallway. Suddenly, a group of Obelisk Blue students ca running from the stairs, and the two sides t.
The Blue students stopped, frowning.
Their leader stepped forward, coldly: "Ra Yellow students, strutting down the middle of the hallway? Don’t you know you should make way for us at a ti like this?"
The tall Ra Yellow student frowned and wanted to say sothing, but the short one tugged his sleeve and whispered, "Don’t."
The tall student imdiately lowered his head and moved aside, making way.
"Hmph, that’s more like it."
The Blue students, receiving the deference they expected, looked even more arrogant. "Lower dorm students should learn their place."
With that, they strutted past.
The short Ra Yellow student clenched his fists, glaring after them with resentnt.
But less than a minute later, the Blue students ca running back the other way.
With a clatter of footsteps, they returned in a panic.
"Damn it, we ran into Fujiki Kira! Gotta take a detour!"
"Hurry up! If you fall behind, you’ll get challenged to a duel!"
"..."
They dashed past the two Ra Yellow students.
The two were stunned.
How did these supposedly superior students turn so cowardly in just a minute? What terrifying being could make them panic like that?
Looking down the hall, they soon understood.
Their Ra Yellow legend, Fujiki Kia, had arrived.
"..."
"Weird, I always heard the Blue students look down on us and never miss a chance to step on us," Kira mused.
"So why are they all so scared now? Doesn’t make sense."
Misawa looked like he wanted to say sothing.
Don’t you know why they’re scared?
But he kept quiet.
"Hey, have you heard of the tennis club captain, Harrington Rosewood?" Misawa said. "Rumor has it he’s as strong as Zane Truesdale."
"Just a rumor," Kira replied casually.
He only had a vague impression—sothing about a tennis deck focused on LP reduction, and an ani-original win condition card.
His duels were more like tennis matches than card gas.
"Yeah, but Jaden dueled him the other day—and won. People said they saw Harrington Rosewood crying on a cliff at sunset, yelling ’I hate dueling!’ or sothing."
Kira pondered.
Hmm, did Jaden break his spirit?
Poor captain.
Just then, they noticed the two Ra Yellow students.
"Oh, Beauregard and Brier?" Misawa greeted them.
The tall one was Beauregard, and the short one was Brier—roommates in the sa dorm.
Kira rembered them too. The recent Rare Card Hunter rumors described a terrifying figure like a giant spider—that seed to be these two.
Beauregard, from the start, was focused on card design, so he wasn’t good at dueling. Brier, though a top duelist in Ra Yellow according to Misawa, was weak-willed and easily crushed by opponents’ aura.
So he rarely perford up to his abilities, often choking under pressure.
Constantly looked down on by Blue students, Brier grew resentful and ca up with the Rare Card Hunter idea.
Beauregard, masked, would duel, while Brier hid nearby, guiding him through an earpiece—acting as a behind-the-scenes duelist.
This way, he could avoid being overwheld by his opponent’s presence and make proper decisions.
So far, every Blue student they’d ambushed had lost rare cards.
Brier glanced at Kira, then sighed.
"Fujiki Kira... must be nice."
He looked away, muttering to himself.
"Even though you’re in Ra Yellow like , you’re so strong. Even those arrogant Blue students run scared when they see you..."
Misawa opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing, but decided against it.
If anything, notorious would be more accurate.
Kira smiled.
"Thanks, but you two are pretty famous among the Blue students now, aren’t you? They’ve all been talking about you lately."
He lowered his voice.
"The spider giant who hunts rare cards?"
Both jumped in shock.
"Wh-what are you talking about? No idea."
Brier quickly tugged Beauregard’s sleeve.
"Beauregard, let’s go."
The two left.
Watching them disappear, Misawa couldn’t help asking, "You an, that’s the guy from the rumors? The one who only cos out at night, using forbidden gambling rules to take rare cards..."
"Yep."
"But that’s impossible," Misawa said. "Beauregard’s huge, sure, but he’s more into card design and can barely duel. And that giant duelist supposedly beat a bunch of Blue students..."
"Well, who knows?"
Kira smiled, walking on.
...
That night.
The darkness was thick as ink, swallowing the day’s noise. Sparse starlight struggled through heavy clouds, dappling the treetops. The wind howled wild through ancient trees.
A perfect night for shady business.
A burly figure erged from the woods.
Masked, eyes hidden behind deep, dark sunglasses that reflected faint starlight. He wore layer upon layer of Blue uniforms, with sleeves spreading out like spider legs, making him look like a two-ter-tall giant spider.
He crept silently, closing in on his prey.
Two Blue students, alone in the moonlight.
But just as he drew near—
One student spun around.
"So you finally showed up, mysterious giant duelist."
Kira, dressed in Blue, grinned and raised his duel disk.
"Sa rules, right? Card-on-the-line? I get it. Shall we skip the preamble and get started?"
But then, the spider giant let out a deep, strange yell: "Crap! It’s Kira!"
With that, he turned and ran for his life.
Kira: "..."
Misawa added dryly, "Told you—even the weirdos run when they see you."
