"You're slightly wrong about my father; it was not his company's idea to start the academy... But at the moment, that information is irrelevant." Fubuki stated, clarifying Jack's earlier remark. "But yes, your claims are well grounded. You are an ally and an acquaintance, but not a friend. I can't hope to rely on my own strength alone- that I know."

But Jack's next set of statements was definitely not like him. Jack, that strange man who always put up an act to slip around and tell half-truths... Was being sincere. Well, it could probably considered kindness for kindness, in a sense.

"At the moment, you're the only one outside my family that I know of that is aware of the situation. If I gave your information away like that, then what kind of person would that make me? I'll trust you on this, then- what is it that you want to keep a secret like you are now?

"Oh, come on now." Joseph said, looking as Laquari as if he wasn't thinking everything through. "If I did something like that, then I'd have an even lower chance of getting through this stage."

Taking Kenta's deck, Joseph immediately sorted the cards by spells, traps and monsters before laying each section out on top of the table he was sitting at.

"How about this? You two can watch as I edit the deck. That'll get rid any suspicions you have, right?"

Not waiting for an answer, Joseph immediately got to work adding and removing cards from the deck. It was a practiced set of actions- he had gotten so used to moving cards around to build decks that it almost felt like second nature to him now.

"There we go." he said, brushing off his hands as the last of his changes was completed. "Removed some clutter, finished the Tenki playset, added a Bear and two Tensu, triple Wolfbark... Actually, it might be better to check those changes out yourself." he said gesturing to the deck laid out on the table. "You get how Wolfbark and Bear work wonders in the deck, right?"
