Carnel woke up, groggy from waking up so early. It was definitely not something he was used to, but he supposed he would have to if he was going to make it. Going through his usual routines to get ready for the day, Carnel was soon properly dressed and ready to face the first events of the day. After breezing through the introduction from the Dark Magician and enjoying a hearty breakfast provided in the cafeteria, Carnel found himself pleasantly surprised in the opening ceremony. 

"[color=f7976a]A battle royale. How interesting,[/color]" Carnel muttered. Carnel believed he was at an advantage with the current rules in place, and perhaps it would prove to be a good learning experience. Activating his Duel Disk, Carnel started to scan his surroundings for an opponent, picking one at random. Pointing at him with his right arm, Carnel announced, "[color=f7976a]You there! You should be my first opponent![/color]" The boy appeared to be full of spirit and eagerly accepted the challenge. 

"[color=ed1c24]Duel![/color]" the two announced as their Duel began.
