Carnel sighed. The airplane ride had taken quite a while, and now a bus was taking him to the duel academy. Frankly, he was tired from all the travelling. A few girls had wanted to talk to him, and he had politely apologized and brushed them aside. Right now, Carnel wanted nothing more than to get to some resting quarters and get some rest. Between the jet lag and the lack of proper sleep, Carnel could barely keep up his gentlemanly facade.

In the meantime, though, he was doing what he could to relax on the bus. Right now, he was looking through his cards; nothing relaxed him more than his collection. While he had brought only a small fraction of it, it was enough for the academy. He pulled out two cards from his deck, Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 and Destiny HERO - Plasma, and smiled fondly. As the two boss monsters in his deck, he put a lot of faith in them. He knew there were a number of weaknesses that others could exploit and therefore defeat his deck, but that was the learning process in Duel Monsters. All Carnel could do was learn from his mistakes and try again.

Placing the cards back into his deck and putting his deck away, Carnel let his head roll off to the side in an attempt to get comfortable and get a bit more rest on the way to the academy. Taking slow, even breaths, Carnel tried to make himself relax and put himself to sleep. The bus ride certainly wasn't showing signs of ending anytime soon, so he might as well try to make use of the time as best he could.
