Takashi, despite the earlier taunts, bows graciously to his still-kneeling opponent. He hands his duel disk to the professor, quietly making a request. "Please do not be too hard on her. She is a good duelist, and I would greatly appreciate it if she can still attend the academy." With a nod and a smile, he walks to see one of the other staff members. Umimaru, for her part, stands and stomps her way to Julia, thrusting her disk at the older woman before pushing past. ----- As Julia calls their names, Haunani doesn't deign to reply to Adam, instead snaking her way down the stands through the throng of students. Prof. Meri sees this young woman emerge from the seats soon enough, taking measured, brisk steps across the arena floor towards her. Spoiler: Haunani Wen
Just trying to psych me out. As if she'd know about... Adam makes a show of cracking his neck, before moving to take his place for the duel.
@AnonYMooseBoG @Tjf Julia gave a small smile to Takashi, but said nothing, keeping it to herself that she had already made the recommendation. Despite her belief, this might be the best possible outcome. Such a humbling experience was rough, but necessary. Once she had time to cool off, she would inevitably have to reflect. Julia was sure of it. Still, there were more people lined up to get things under way with and as Julia saw Hannaui, she didn't really have much of a reason to think it, but she could almost feel the impression as a instinct. "Oh, you're quite good." While she was rooting for Adam, Hannaui definitely gave her the impression she could see some real ability too. He'd have his work cut out for him. "It's clear just by looking. We're about to see another hard fought battle. Now, to get this under way...." She revealed the coin then made the same exaggerated pose again to toss it. "Declare!"
Julia actually did bother to glance at it before presenting, before a smile hit her face at making the reveal of a coin face up. "Le Fay takes the first turn. Wen takes second."
"Hmhm~" His sister giggles, her voice low and quiet to avoid being overheard. "That's still a 'yes,' you know..." She looks at Dr. Kelsey for a moment before fixing her eyes back to Tenma. "...I can see why you're so hard already. She is quite pretty." Haruka idly twirls her fingers along her brother's rigid member through his shorts. "I wish I could give her a show, but there's far too many others here. I'll just have to settle for keeping my hands busy." Her lips move right next to Tenma's ear as she whispers. "I might let you fuck her if you win today, as long as I get to be there too, but if you lose, well, I'll have to have your little cock caged for at least a week to make sure you can't." She pulls her face away, content to watch Tenma squirm as she teasingly rubs the boy's frenulum through his clothes. Though Sayen looks back at the siblings a few more times, the rows of seats prevent the professor from seeing anything below their chests. It seems like the pink-haired woman is nearly done with the students lined up to see her.
Tenma gulps and tries not to visibly react to Haruka's stimulation even though her skilled touch always seems to effortlessly find where he is most sensitive at any given moment. He grips the armrests of the chair tightly and internally curses himself as the memory of past times being caged makes his manhood throb for a second. "I-It's... almost... time," he manages to hiss out in a hoarse whisper, nodding to the thinning line of students in front of the professor.
Spoiler: Alex T4 Roll 60=60 average "Special summon Silent Magician in face-up Defense Position." Breaker disappears to the Graveyard, replaced by a woman wearing blue robes and a stereotypically pointed wizard's hat. Spoiler: Silent Magician Alex smiles faintly, though his hand is as empty as Felicia's. "End turn." Spoiler: Felicia T4 Roll 91+10 (Destiny)=101 perfect
[Tjf, do you want to go turn-by-turn or compress the duel?] Silent and still, Haunani studies Julia as the coin flies. Spoiler: Spiritual Resonance Roll 55+10(Spirit Taming)=65 success Already, Julia can feel a strong presence within the girl's deck. It feels like...a Dragon. An old, powerful one. The spirit notices your attunement to it's kind. The monstrous creature opens it's gigantic eye and the professor sees naught but blue until the vision fades a moment later. With the turn player decided, the white-haired girl's own pair of blue eyes do not leave Julia as Adam begins his turn. Spoiler: Adam T1 Roll 88=88 good Spoiler: Haunani T1 Roll 19=19 poor
"Hmhmhm~" Haruka giggles softly, willfully misinterpreting her brother. "You can't be close to bursting already~" Her slender hand pulls away from his groin, resting on his inner thigh. "How could you ever hope to satisfy both of us if a few minutes of teasing has you this pent up?" She places a quick peck on Tenma's cheek before checking on Sayen again. "Seems like she's ready for us, Tenma." Haruka stands, gracefully rising from the cushioned, stadium-style chair. "Why don't you introduce us?" She waits, ready to follow her brother to the professor.
She hadn't even brought the card out yet, but she could already feel it from here. The connection was undeniably strong. This kind of affinity....was she already aware of her abilities? It wasn't mere shimmers under the surface of something still sleeping, or having trouble being attuned to Haunani. This could make her quite interesting in her own right. In ways, it was good that she was who Adam would have to face off with. An opponent like this might be what he needs to start breaking the wall. Julia for her part, remained mostly silent. She couldn't give Adam too much help. He had to win on his own. That was the whole point. But she remained with curiosity, over what the exact nature of this kind of dragon would be. Duel Monsters was rife with dragons to the point, she couldn't even take a guess at what it could be without seeing more. From looking at the girl and her apparent spiritual attunement...perhaps something like Yamata Dragon or Judgment Dragon? Horus or even the Dark Armed Dragon....there was so many options, she couldn't narrow it down on so little. Though...if she had to make her assumption, she didn't suspect to see any of the blue eyes dragons. They might be rare and strong cards but as spirits she got the feeling they would be a little too...common. She watched intently, wondering how well Adam would be able to handle it. She knew he had won plenty of matches before, but she doubted he ever really faced anyone with the same kind of touch as him. Especially against someone who might actually be even more adjusted to the real scope of the game beyond the physical side. Looking in his direction, she gave a reassuring smile showing her confidence, but also with the underlying implication that she wasn't going to give him any help.
Tenma fights down the scowl that wants to come out at her words and the ending of her teasing. The surprisingly sweet kiss catches him off guard so it takes him a second to realize what she has said to him. Once it does register, he quickly gets up and mutters, "Of course, sister." He starts to lead her over to Sayen, though he does try to walk in a way that does not show off the rather prominent boner he still has.
Taking a deep breath as her turn starts, "Draw." Felicia declared, a fierce grin forming on her mouth. "Fufu. You seem intent on calling out your silent magician. I can appreciate that." She said in an elated tone, "But unfortunately for you, a mere magician can't beat a dragon!" The red-head exclaimed, her intense gaze returning as she begins her play. "I summon the Red Resonator in attack position. Then I'll use my Red Warg along with my Red Resonator to synchro summon the Hot Red Dragon Archfiend!" Spoiler: Red Resonator Spoiler: Hot Red Dragon Archfiend As her monsters fuse, calling upon another red dragon. Felicia grins, Let's show them that you can do more than just destroy everything, partner. She thinks to herself, knowing Alex was waiting for her to destroy his silent magician so that he could special summon another. "I then activate the Red Familiar's graveyard effect, allowing me to banish it, in exchange for allowing me to change my dragon's level to 6!" Felicia declared, banishing one of her monsters as her Hot Red Dragon Archfiend's rank drops two levels. "Now I use my Dark Resonator, and Hot Red Dragon Archfiend to synchro summon, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss!" Once more she waits for her monsters to fuse, calling upon another, more sinister dragon to her side of the field. Spoiler: Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss "I activate its effect, negating the effect of your Silent Magician until the end phase!" Felicia declared, making her dragon roar, paralyzing the female mage in fear. "Now, destroy his Silent Magician!" She then enters the battle phase, allowing her dragon to burn Alex's monster to a crisp. Once his field was empty, leaving only his field spell. Felicia lets out a sigh, "End turn." (Edit because just like a regular Yu-Gi-Oh player, I sometimes forget what I just read.)
(Whatever's convenient for you.) Adam looks into the stands and flashes Julia a smirk as he starts strong, before looking at his opponent. "You can give up, if you want. No one would blame you, not after I beat everyone else in this place."
Thankfully, Tenma's shorts are loose enough for him to hide his rod with only a minimal amount of awkward shuffling. His sister follows only a step or two behind, although with far more poise, as the pair approach the professor. "Ah, I see you are ready." Sayen smiles pleasantly at the siblings. "I am Dr. Sayen Kelsey. I am happy to meet you!" She informs the older sister. Turning her attention back to Tenma, she asks "What are your names?" Haruka bears a wry smile as she looks at her adoptive brother, knowingly leaving him on the spot instead of taking the lead in conversation like usual.
"M-My name is Tenma Hamasaki," he says, "And this is my big sister Haruka Hamasaki." He internally sighs as he knows Haruka is looking to make him as uncomfortable as possible... and it is working. "She's the dueling genius of the family," he says, which is not even a lie or sarcastic in his eyes, "I... guess she just thinks I'm good enough to go along with her."
Alex shrinks in fear before the creature, this dragon somehow more terrifying than the last. Spoiler: Alex T5 Roll 16=16 poor His draw does little to improve his confidence. "I set a card and end turn." All that stands between the boy and a crippling blow is a single face-down card. President Yamagishi regards Felicia's opponent, disappointment obvious in the tycoon's face. Spoiler: Felicia T5 Roll 99+20(Lucky Onslaught)=119 perfect [Looks like it didn't matter anyway. ]
(Thank you RNGsus.) "Draw." Felicia declares, grinning as she realized that the end was in sight. "I activate Pot of Greed." She immediately activates the spell card she just drew, smiling as the two cards she got were enough to finish the match. "I summon another Red Sprinter in attack position. Then I attack with my Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, and Red Sprinter for the game!" She exclaimed, ready to use Abyss negate once Alex used his face down card.
[Probably best to condense it. I'll roll and summarize one section per post so Adam has a chance to react however you like.] Spoiler: Adam's Taunt Roll 96+20(Dominating 2)=116 crit. success Haunani does not reply, but she seems obviously distracted, lost in thought while staring straight at her opponent, her eyes feeling lifeless. Spoiler: Section 1 Roll Adam:88=88 very good Haunani: 29-10(situational)-10(taunted)=9 very poor Adam starts with one of the two cards he told Julia he was working on, playing Pot of Greed Spoiler: Pot of Greed to immediately draw an additional two cards. His smirk is only strengthened by what he adds to his hand. He activates Future Fusion, giving Haunani only two turns to prevent him from summoning the almighty Quintet Magician. Spoiler: Future Fusion He sets a monster and a couple other cards face down, content to erect a defense while he waits. For her part, Haunani's voice is a robotic, unnerving monotone as she takes her turn. "I cast Dragon Shrine, sending Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Dragon Spirit of White from the deck to the grave." Spoiler: Dragon Shrine "Then, I summon Sage with Eyes of Blue in Attack Position." A handsome man who somewhat resembles Adam appears on the field between the duelists. Spoiler: Sage "This allows me to call Priestess with Eyes of Blue to my hand." She does so, the duel disk shuffling her deck again afterwards. "I end my turn, sorcerer."
@AnonYMooseBoG @Tjf Julia remained mostly straight faced, but the audible sound of trying to suppress a laugh could be heard. She had ruled those cards out initially, so seeing what Hannuni was going for, she couldn't help, but find it kind of funny. It seemed almost too predictable too seriously consider it. Yet, it was what she was using. Still, less amusing was the situation unfolding. This was going to put Adam in some trouble. "As most know, the blue eyes white dragon, while being mass printed in recent years, was initially a card that there was only four of the world because of it's strength. Of course, as new cards came out, the appeal of the blue eyes merely having a high strength stat, fell off. As many familiar with the owner are aware, the CEO of the duel disk system has quite the fetish for dragons and has released tons of support to try and keep his favorite monster as the most important thing in the game. It's...kind of sad, really." It still was strange. Despite the constant ads and boasting about the existence of that dragon...she still didn't really....know anything about it. It seemed strange that was among the few cards that seemed to have no history to it's existence that she knew off. Although...the same could be said of the Dark Magician. The wizard was well known, but almost nobody actually knows anything about it's existence. "Following that, Dark Magician is among one of the most commonly supported spellcasters with new releases. That includes the variants of them to keep up with power creep." Despite keeping the people following this posted, she didn't actually expand on the strategies even if she could tell what Hanuani intended. She would attempt to special summon spirit of white to take future fusion off the field to prevent Quintent Magician from being summoned. Either he'd have to negate the summon, or protect future fusion for another turn. There were still ways to recover from failing to summon it too, but she kept it to herself, to see what he would do.
