Ryder monitored the screens as both tracks were in use at the moment. The one on the outside track had drawn to a close, and the two students dueling there finally made their way back into the garage. Surprisingly, one of them won by dumping as many of the opponent's cards into the graveyard and then Cemetery Bomb-ing them, which was quite the unorthodox strategy. Two more students arrived to occupy that track soon after. Whilst the instructor guided them to their runners, Camryn and Angelo's duel came to a close with Ryder missing the end of it. [color=8882be]"Ah, damn... I'll have to watch the recording later..."[/color] they mused to themselves, watching the two make up and pushing their bikes back into the garage. From the parts Ryder DID manage to see it was a lot closer than the Ethel and Ignia match, though not as close as those other two students who just came back. Nevertheless, he congratulated both Angelo and Camryn on their duel. [color=8882be]"Great! You both seem to have gotten the hang of the basics of Turbo Dueling already. I don't think there's much advice I can give either of you just yet."[/color] was his commentary. Once the both were back into the main part, Ryder suddenly realized something. He'd gotten a call earlier to blow off classes, but didn't want to do that because this was an important one. He did have a solution though. [color=8882be]"Oh, right! All students, pay attention!"[/color] they called out to everyone in the room. [color=8882be]"Those who've dueled already are free until after lunch break. These duels will take a while, so you can hang around the main building after changing and meet me back here after you've eaten."[/color] Ryder cheerfully announced. [hr]Dell and her assistant noticed another swarm of students entering the infirmary, with the woman anguishing over more patients and the man biting his lip at seeing more people had gotten hurt. Sure, when it was just Leander it wasn't bad. And they were expecting Amelia. But when Vincent came in a second time with a passed out student, and a brown haired boy practically carried a stumbling girl bleeding out of her foot, it got bad. [color=f9ad81]"Could the non-patients leave, please?"[/color] the man asked whilst bandaging Megan's foot. Dell was micromanaging both Amelia's checkup and Tsukiko's status, beckoning for the other two to leave as well. They did. Good. Now they had to figure out who to kick out, because Megan needed a bed and none were available. They had two choices at this point. Amelia had just finished with her checkup, and Tsukiko was waking up. [color=f6989d]"Mike, the girl's recovering."[/color] Dell called out into the back, which caught her assistant's attention. [color=f9ad81]"Great, is there a bed available for this girl?"[/color] he called back out. Dell thought for a moment. [color=f6989d]"Yeah, I think so."[/color] Dell replied. She scuttled over to Tsukiko, who'd just sat upstraight. [color=f6989d]"Sorry for the inconvenience, but we're a little full at the moment and you don't seem to have any exterior damage. If you're still feeling fatigued, I'd suggest going to your room to rest."[/color] the school doctor said to her, then turned to Amelia. [color=f6989d]"Also, Amelia, you're free to go. Nothing seems to be wrong at the moment."[/color] Dell informed her. Whoever left first could see their bed's sheets getting changed, and Megan being helped over to rest in it.[hr]Ethel was almost bored, Ignia wasn't anywhere around and Angelo took the lead in lifepoints. She was about to take away her eyes on that duel, but then Camryn did something interesting. A combo with her three Ojama tokens, leading to a hand refill and Angelo's monster going down. [color=7ea7d8]"Oh?"[/color] she mused to herself, raising an eyebrow. From there on it was smooth sailing for Camryn, who took an easy victory over the idiot. [color=7ea7d8]"...Hm."[/color] Ethel grunted, a smile lifting up on her face. Nothing too big, but it was a sort of content feeling at seeing that pest getting beaten. She was starting to like this Camryn, she dueled straight to the point. Maybe they were someone to keep an eye on. When both those other duelists returned to the track, Ethel overheard Ryder basically telling her she was free to go. [color=7ea7d8]"...Sure."[/color] Ethel commented, though not really expecting an answer out of anyone. She went back to her stall, checked to see if any perverts placed a spy camera, and got back into her regular clothes. No spy camera was found. Ethel felt that even with her clothes being thick, they felt really breezy after having been in that riding suit for an extended period of time. Ethel took her handbag back, then exited the changing rooms. She looked around only to find nobody of any real interest, so pulled out her D-Ceiver for a moment. She'd registered Ignia the day before, mainly because of the other girl's constant pestering. She slid her thumb across the surface, going into her friends list. Naturally the only one in there was Ignia. She decided to shoot her a quick text message. It read as follows: [color=7ea7d8]"Going to the card shop, 'kay? (^▽^) I'll see you around later!! (≧v≦)"[/color]. Knowing how Ethel acted outside of the digital world, this seemed like a very... Out of character text. But unlike some bait-and-switch, [i]this is actually what she sent[/i]. Ethel slid the device back into her handbag and walked outside of the building with the same stoic expression as always. After a few minutes, Ethel entered the card shop. She noticed a few others walking around but paid no attention to them. She walked over to the counter and requested two specific cards, [color=7ea7d8]"Blackwing Armor Master and Raidraptor - Rise Falcon please"[/color]. As requested, Ethel got er two cards after a quick exchange of points. She looked at the new Synchro and Xyz card, holding it up in the light to get a good reflection. [color=7ea7d8]"...Heh."[/color] she chuckled to herself, having a content smile and sliding them into the extra deck. Ethel gave a bow to the attendant, turning around and walking back to the elevator. Then, out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed a certain someone. The girl that was with Shinrei yesterday. A wicked smirk sprawled over Ethel's face, enjoying the thought of messing with her a little more. Though there was another girl with them, and honestly, she didn't want to get on too many people's bad sides. So, instead, she strolled over and pulled up the chair across from Hayate. Ignoring Maisy, Ethel addressed the tomboyish looking female student: [color=7ea7d8]"Hello again. Have a good day?"[/color] she snidely asked, although unaware of what's been happening around the academy.[hr]Haas almost felt the need to correct Megan on how she pronounced his name, but was more confused about how she knew him in the first place.[color=aba000][b]"Did... Did we meet before?"[/b][/color] he asked her, and felt maybe just a twang guilty at the thought of forgetting someone. Though the elevator came to a close, and he had to help the girl back in. [color=aba000][b]"Alright, let's go!"[/b][/color] he cheerfully said to Megan whilst helping her in. The two doctors inside seemed extremely busy, but did take the time out of their day to help Megan out. Though a certain person in the infirmary caught Haas' attention. [color=aba000][b]"...Tsukiko?!"[/b][/color] he nearly shouted, then got barked at to tone it down. [color=aba000][b]"Sorry..."[/b][/color] Haas whispered, still confused about why Tsukiko lay there fainted. But the two people staffed for medical duty asked both Haas and the other boy standing in the room to leave, so he happily obliged. Once out the door, Haas slid one hand to his forehead. [color=aba000][b]"Geez... Why was Tsukiko there?"[/b][/color] he wheezed, then took another look around. Unsurprisingly nobody was in the area, so Haas decided to go up the stairs for a bit. Whilst walking up and getting lost in though, Haas noticed another boy making his way down. Someone with long, black hairs and an academy-licensed folding disk on his arm. Haas got excited, seeing as it's someone who he hadn't met before. [color=aba000][b]"Hey there!"[/b][/color] he cheerily called up the stairs. It's then he noticed the boy belonged to the Wind dorm, one higher to Haas. That was a little scary, considering they probably were a better duelist much like that Cassie person from earlier. Though that didn't stop the excitable boy from dashing up the stairs. Surprisingly, the shock for seeing Megan hurt had pushed Haas back into that state of mind again. Once arriving where Joshua was, Haas noticed they were a little... Annoyed. [color=aba000][b]"Erm... Sorry. Bad time?"[/b][/color] he asked, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment. Probably wasn't a good idea to approach a stranger out of the blue.
