Leander had been looking through his deck, admiring every card's artwork while examining each card's stats and effects. There was no doubt that this deck wasn't called Knights of Light for nothing. After a while, however, as he was lost in thought, a [i]very [/i]loud announcement sounded. Leander, startled, accidentally let his cards drop onto the ground, some scattering as they landed. "[color=fff200]Crap[/color]," Leander muttered as he gathered them back up. When that was done, Leander placed his cards into the deck slot for his Duel Disk and began listening to the announcer do his thing for the Duels, just in time to hear the words "Placement Duels". Leander listened on, learning the information from the announcer, and looked up to the screen as per his instructions. The first two placement duels were for Megan and Akira, and Venwyn and Ethel. 

Leander watched the duels with excitement, wondering how each Duelist would fight. Each fight was amazing in it's own way, even if there were times where someone would get completely dominated. At last, the duels ended, and all the duelists moved away from the arena. Now it was time for round two. Leander looked to the screen again to find out who it was. Unfortunately, his name still wasn't on it, but that was ok. He would probably get his turn eventually. For now, though, it was time to enjoy some more Duels.
