Ben woke up with a startled yelp as he looked around and remembered where he was exactly. He groaned and laid back down on his bed and grumbled a bit. [color=fff200]"Fine I'm up, I'm up..."[/color] he mumbled as he got up and shook his head. The day before hand had made him sleep in it was tiring and he had been bored for a good chunk of it and he was uncomfortable for the other half. It wasn't something he imagined when he went to school...well the bored part yeah that's to be expected. But you'd think a school teaching kids about god damn card games would be a bit more interesting and the kids a little less random. Day three...day three here and Ben had already established Team Awesome, and gotten into drama that didn't involve him. He deliberately took on a 'punishment' exercise by the teacher and had run around the stadium and he wondered how many more people were going to try to poke at him like the lion in the zoo who'd been there for years and had started to look really bored. The main difference was the fact that he didn't eat people if he got pissy. Ben walked over to the dorm showers and took the fastest shower he could muster and passed it onto Henry who had been waiting patiently for one to open up and went back to his room to put on his coat blazer. He put his duel disk on his hand and then put his deck box on his hip as per the usual boring opening. Not really caring what happened next and feeling it was just best to go with the flow Ben went to the cafe and sat down after receiving a bowl of oatmeal and a glass of orange juice. Boring but practical...yeah this was going to be one of those days wasn't it?

Andre was already awake when the the speakers barked at him. He had woken up a half an hour ago to take a bathroom break and had just been unable to fall back asleep. He was sorting his cards going through the possible combos. His synchro plays were going to be hard to pull off but Archfiend of Lightning was the key to them. Easy to summon and compatible with his plague spreader. His other plays involved stalling with Necrofear and or using his fields to rapidly recycle Skilled Red Magician into Emperor Archfiend. He hoped that the day would come when he wouldn't need to worry about drawing into god damn archfiend queen. Having that in his hand was almost as bad as opening with two of her and his Armageddon knights. Andre couldn't help but demand better of himself and his deck. He needed better synergy. The name of the game was POWER. Archfiends ran over enemy monsters who relied on effects. Pandomonium allowed him to recycle archfiends. And best yet his trap card let him bring out his big boys without a tribute. Second turn Emperor Archfiend meant bad news bears for his enemies. If they couldn't get rid of him QUICK then the duel was his. A 3k beatsteak that could blow up cards ala Blue Eyes Alternative White Dragon without the penalty of not being able to attack left his enemies in a bad state with only 4k life points on the board. Regardless of his plans Andre grabbed his coat and scarf put them on and went to the dining hall where he once again sat down at alone with a bowl of cereal, Dark Magic Oats, and proceeded to chow down on while stopping to sort out his deck as well. He was one thing and that was determined to show these kids why Archfiends shouldn't be discarded as weak.
