"You've actually dueled against him?"

Alexis stated in shock, unbelieving that they had actually duelled. But that would explain how he regained his love for dueling again, and where he went during the Graduation Ceremony.

"Indeed, and Jaden is a very powerful opponent. But so is Seto Kaiba. His strength lies within his Dragon's deck, with his strongest cards being the Blue Eyes White Dragons. However I didn't come here willingly. Young Yugi entered himself, I merely step in to assist."

"In that case, we had better give it our all, right Jaden?"

Alexis asked Jaden with a smile on her face but with also a competitive spirit behind it. She was confident, but she also knew not to underestimate her opponent so easily.

"I don't have the privilege of your name."

"Alexis Rhodes. I went to the same Academy as Jaden."

"I see. Good luck in the tournament, for this will be a special case for all three of us. Perhaps we may encounter old friends, or old enemies. That reminds me. Jaden, I trust you are looking after Winged Kuriboh?"
