[h3][b][color=red]A[/color][color=black]i[/color][color=blue]y[/color][color=lime]a[/color][/b] Tenshi[/h3] [hr] What was there not to believe? Sure the announcer was supposed to hype up the duel but Shinrei hadn't really been [i]challenged[/i] in the last 2 years since he became champion. Logically then he had the duel in the bag already. Only a fool would think that Shinrei wasn't going to win. Though Aiya wouldn't call herself a fan of 'Shinrei' in her own mind she couldn't fathom him losing to a complete nobody like that guy on the screen. Still she would be biting her fingernails in trepidation. What if he [i]did[/i] that wouldn't be good at all. Cyber End Dragon was so powerful. It couldn't just [i]lose[/i] right? Hopefully Shinrei wouldn't just bite the bullet this way. That wouldn't be good at all. She wanted to see him lose to someone important or coo-. Her train of thought broke when she heard her best? friend speak up. Was Kei her best friend? She'd never admit it personally, She also didn't have time to find other friends what with the long list of odd-jobs she worked. From the battle-maid cafe to the janitorial duties. Working part time to earn money to help renovate the Dragon King Dojo. It certainly left her without much time except to spend it hanging out with Kei. Of course at the same time though she wouldn't say herself that they were friends, She wasn't some jerk that just existed in his orbit. No. She was Aiya Tenshi. Anyone that she considered important enough to keep close of course deserved to be treated with the utmost respect and closeness. "You better start by beating me then Kei. The road to being a champion is a long one after all but your not starting that road today" She would say in response to him as he turned his monster to attack position. Seeing him equip his monster and ending his turn. She'd smile softly. "Check that loss record to 100." She'd say as she drew for turn. "I'll activate my spell card. [color=green]'A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon'[/color]" She'd say as it hit the table. "By returning my Ernus to my hand I can destroy all spell and trap cards you control!" Watching him scoop his backrow up she'd feel the corner of her lips curl into a smile. She didn't like beating him. But simple days like this duelling with the people you care about? It was all a girl could wish for. "I'll active the fusion spell, [color=green]Dragonmaid Changeover[/color], The cost for Fusion is one Dragonmaid monster and one level 5 or higher dragon monster." She'd say as she'd reveal the three cards in hand. Her Fusion Spell, Ernus and Laundry. Placing them all in her graveyard she'd place her monster onto the table. "[color=Purple]Dragonmaid Sheou[/color], Battle! She'll attack your [color=f7941d]Mystic Swordsmen LV4[/color]." Aiya would say tapping her card gently before she lent over to tap Kei's. And that was game. Still though she wasn't one to rub in her victories unless she really disliked a person hoooowever she wasn't above a bit of light teasing. "Congrats on your 100th loss. You can redeem your free complimentary Can of Soda from the vending machine outside later." She'd say with a soft smile.
