Carnel did what he could to grow more accustomed to his new home, going through his usual routines of getting ready for the day. He warmed himself up before jogging a few laps, getting his morning exercise in for the day. When he was done, he got ready to go get breakfast at the cafeteria. Ignoring the somewhat menacing appearance of the lunch man, Carnel approved of the quality of the meal he had received and found a spot to sit down and eat. 

As he was eating, his Duel Disk suddenly lit up. Carnel, surprised, immediately turned to see what was going on. What was currently being shown was the image of Mokuba Kaiba, the CEO of Kaiba Corporation, and the sudden announcement of the new Link Summon mechanic completely caught Carnel off guard. Carnel took a couple moments to think about the new information, and found that he rather liked the new development. The majority of his decks never had a need for an Extra Deck, so he realized that he found himself with an advantage over others who relied on the Extra Deck for their main powerhouse monsters. Granted, the advantage would not last as people would eventually adapt to the new rules, so Carnel would make as much use of it as he could. The idea of the new Link Monsters was quite interesting as well, making Carnel wonder how well he could use them.

Finishing up the last of his breakfast, Carnel gathered his things and readied his Duel Disk. Carnel hoped to be one of the chosen for this new event. The idea of obtaining a Link Monster was a fascinating one, never mind one before most others could, and he did not intend to let it pass.
