▂▃▅▆▇█ Miku █▇▆▅▃▂

Miku stepped inside her new room. Relief washed over her. She was safe, at least for the moment. The studying, the practice... it paid off in the end. She dropped her sports bag onto the ground and took a seat on the bottom of the bunk bed placed inside the room. It meant she probably got a roommate soon. Not too surprising, with how she was placed among some of the worst students. It felt frustrating and humiliating, doubly so with how hard she fought to be enrolled, but the frustration was nothing compared to the burning flames in her heart. Flames of perseverance. She wasn't going to take it lying down; if anything, it just made her even more determined to rise up the hierarchy. She had everything to lose.

"O-Oh! Hello..."
Miku perked her head up. The door's opening followed by a soft voice caught her attention. A young girl stood in the entryway, one hand on the handle of her rolling suitcase. The girl was short and had brown twin tails held together with a large red ribbon.
"You got assigned to scarlet, too?" Miku asked the newcomer. They nodded, but also twiddled their fingers a little.
"Mmm... mhm, yeah. I-I'm surprised, honestly... I thought I would be rejected for sure," she replied. "A-ah, by the way, my name's Honika Suzuki! Uhm... I'm sorry if I'll be a bother," the girl was swift to apologise.
"Oh, uh... it's no problem. Really.
"...You can, uh, choose which bed you want. I'm indifferent," Miku told her.
"Ah... uhm..." Suzuki stumbled. She didn't seem very comfortable with it.
"...oh, uh, nevermind. I'll just... take the top one if you can't choose."
"A-ah! Sorry, I should've-"
"No, it's fine. Really."
Miku averted her gaze and got up from the bunk. She crouched down to her luggage and began with the unpacking. Suzuki shuffled into the room, but Miku only heard silence from the other girl for a while after the door closed. When she turned to look back, Suzuki was just standing there. Frozen.
"Oh... am I in the way or something?" Miku asked.
"...N-no! It's nothing, uhm... excuse me then," the other girl replied. Then she began unpacking as well. Her face was red as a beet, though. A few minutes of awkward silence passed between the two of them as they got the room set up. Surprisingly, out of the two of them, Suzuki broke the silence with a question. "Uhm... what's your name?"
Miku blinked. "O-oh... right, sorry," she stammered. "It's Miku. Miku Miyazaki. I hope we get along," Miku answered with a bow.
"Mhm... yeah, I hope so too."
They continued to unpack. When Miku got done sorting the wardrobe, she took a step back and accidentally bumped into her new roomate. She heard a bunch of things scatter to the floor, along with a "Eep! Oh, no, my cards..." from Suzuki. Miku turned around.
"Oh, sorry! Let me help you," she offered and immediately began picking up the scattered deck.
"Oh, uhm... thank you," the other girl said. With the two of them it didn't take too long to collect all of them. Suzuki averted her eyes though. She clutched the deck tightly to her chest. "I-I know what you're thinking! B-but they're all my precious friends so, ah, uhm..."
"No, don't worry about it. Really. Here, I'll let you look at my deck to make up for it..." Miku answered her. She'd forgotten to take her Duel Disk off in all this time, so she could easily slide out her cards and show them to Suzuki.
"Wow... so you use fusion too... I think I'd struggle to fight it, though..."
"Want to try it?"
"H-Huh?! Like, right now?!"
"...Yeah. I think you're probably a lot better than you give yourself credit for."
"No, I'm, really, uhm, not... b-but if you want to, I, uhm, I don't mind dueling, so..."
These two were going to be just fine with each-other.
