A vein was about to pop out the side of Kei's head as the stranger opened up the duel. [color=9C5F25]”It's not 'Kid'... my name is Kei! [i]Kei[/i]!"[/color] he shouted, clearly not happy about being called out for his youthful appearance. The boy would carefully watch his opponent's moves, so it shocked him when the stranger discarded a large chunk of his opening hand just like that. [color=9C5F25][i]"Is he crazy?"[/i][/color] Kei thought to himself. With only two cards to protect the man, Kei made up his mind to come out the gate swinging.

[color=9C5F25]”Alright, it's my turn! Draw!"[/color] the boy opened up, swiping the first card from the top of his deck. He gave it a brief glance and smirked. [color=9C5F25]”Hah! I'll use this right away! With Reinforcement of the Army, I can add the best card in my deck to my hand!"[/color] Kei gleefully explained, his duel disk ejecting a single card from the middle deck. Once he'd grabbed a hold of it, the duel disk shuffled the cards automatically. [color=9C5F25]”Now I use another spell: Double summon! I can summon two monsters from my hand instead of only one this turn! First up is Blade Knight!"[/color]

Kei slammed a card down on his disk and from that, a blue-armored knight appeared on the field. Then the boy smirked as he picked up the card added to his hand earlier that turn. [color=9C5F25]”Now for the best card in my deck! My one and only partner: Silent Swordsman LV3!"[/color]

A small breeze passed through the back alley, right as a portal opened next to Blade Knight. Out of it jumped the tiny warrior with his oversized sword, his one visible eye focused straight onto the stranger's set cards.

[b]Blade Knight:[/b] 1600 ATK
[b]Silent Swordsman:[/b] 1000 ATK

Kei dished out some orders for his monsters: [color=9C5F25]”Alright! Blade Knight, attack his monster! Partner, you follow up with a direct attack!"[/color] and with that command, Blade Knight slashed clean through the set monster. A brief image of a treasure box with teeth flashed by, before shattering into particles. The attack was a success and Silent Swordsman wasted no time in following through, dashing forward and slashing the opponent in his side.

[b]Haruo:[/b] 4000 > 3000 LP

[color=9C5F25]”The first damage is mine! Turn end!"[/color]
