[color=9C5F25]”Blade Knight...!"[/color] Kei would cry out as Skull Servant smashed right though his monster, dropping his LP down a tiny bit. The way this ragged stranger played was causing Kei no end of confusion. He'd left his field wide open at the end of the turn, and somehow, Kei had a feeling that the man had avoided attacking Silent Swordsman on purpose. Only one thing left for him to do at this point: Declare the start of his turn, and...

[color=9C5F25]”Draw!"[/color]

Kei gave a brief glance to the card he'd gotten into his hand, smirked and put it with the rest. He then threw his hand forward. [color=9C5F25]”Dunno what you're planning, but thanks for leaving my partner on the field! In my standby phase, he'll evolve into his true self! Let's go, Silent Swordsman LV5!"[/color] Kei excitedly shouted. The tiny soldier on his field was basked in that familiar white glow, morphing and growing taller before both duelist's eyes. LV5 brandished his blade in an imposing manner, now grown more fierce than before.

[b]Silent Swordsman LV5:[/b] 2300 ATK

[color=9C5F25]”I'm not done yet! With 'The Warrior Returning Alive' I'll bring back Blade Knight from my graveyard to the hand, and then... summon! Marauding Captain, who's effect brings Blade Knight with him!"[/color] Kei would continue his turn unabated. The troop's commander would raise up on the field, call out Blade Knight with a rallying cry and cause Kei to have three monsters on his field in one fell swoop.

[b]Blade Knight:[/b] 1600 ATK
[b]Marauding Captain:[/b] 1200 ATK

Kei narrowed his eyes at his opponent's field. That one set card was worrying him; it was probably a trap to stop Kei's attacks. Thus, playing it safe, he would attack with his weaker monsters first. [color=9C5F25]”Marauding Captain! Blade Knight! Launch consecutive direct attacks!"[/color] Kei ordered his warriors. Both of their blades cut cleanly across the ragged man, who didn't put up an ounce of resistance.

[b]Haruo:[/b] 3000 > 200LP

Kei fistbumped the air in celebration. [color=9C5F25]”Hell yeah! Big damage, baby!"[/color] Though his celebrating might've been premature, with the trap card not stopping Kei's assault he was all but certain he had this duel won. The adrenaline even made him forget how tired his body actually was. [color=9C5F25]”I dunno what you wanted from me old man, but I've got this in the bag! Let's finish this with a direct attack, partner!"[/color] sounded Kei's order to Silent Swordsman. The warrior slid the flat side of his sword across his arm, then grabbed onto its hilt with both hands. Leaping up into the air, he'd come down on the stranger for a slash. It seemed to strike true, causing an explosion. Even though the ragged man's field was covered in smoke, Kei was sure to let his thoughts be known.

[color=9C5F25]”Alright! I [i]win[/i]!"[/color]
