He wiped off his tears, looking hopefully at the woman in front of her, now accompanied by another man. "You really think so?" When she introduced the duo to him, he nodded. "M-my name is Andrew. Nice to meet you both." he said. He was a bit shocked when the woman suddenly turned around and shouted at the other person shouting. It took him off guard, so he jumped up a bit, but he got his act together again short after because she has been so nice to him.

"Y-You know, I'm not e-even sure wh-what to expect. I m-mean, this is m-my first t-tournament after a-all." It wasn't a lie. Most of his duels were against people from his school, and occasionally he got a random show-off who heard about his school reputation and challenged him, but he never played competetive. Because of this he was very surprised when he got the invitation for a tournament, especially such a big one.

However, something the woman said raised a new feeling he didn't know yet. It was very familiar to the feeling of confidence he was used to, but this one was different. It wasn't like his voice caused this feeling. Did this feeling originate from himself? Or maybe the woman triggered it somehow? He didn't know the cause, but he was happy this feeling raised in his body.
