Mieux vaut régner en enfer , que de servir dans le ciel. I guess that is ze way of the Archfiends. the French boy shrugged. A bit of Milton works well here. After all, they did rise to serve their cruel overlord. But betray only hurts when it is revealed, not when it festers and rots silently in the relationship. That being said, a new girl appeared out of the blue, well not quite blue, but from down the hallway as she introduced herself in a rather excited manner as Camryn. This happened just as Zacharie was leaving, standing by the doorway and bidding Ben his good night, for the good knight? Anyways casting that thought into the back of his mind and focusing on the new girl who, seemed plain enough, although exotically coloured compared to Zacharie and Ben who were as white as European bread, the inside mind you not the outside. Her English skills however were far more fluent than Zacharie's as he still peppered in his French and drew quite a noticeable accent in his pronunciations.

"un plaisir mademoiselle," giving the girl a bit of a nod, "I was just leaving 'ere so, um, I may 'ave to leave you 'ere with ze charmant monsieur Carson..." Zacharie seemed a bit shy, blushing visibly as he looked back at Ben, who had taken the lead to introduce both of them, taking control of his apostles one by one as he gathered up a bunch of members to his club. "And uh, I would love to be part of your Team Ben. Merci pour l'offre. Mon père was concerned that I would not make any friends and bury myself in my books but..." Oh Zacharie, what did you just get yourself into? Your face is turning redder as you go now. He felt rather odd, not uncomfortable, but certainly like a boiling frog. Something was getting to him, under the collar maybe? His nerves were betraying his usually calm demeanor as the girl appeared and made herself into the wheelbarrow. "Anyways, I should go and... Well, Bonsoir Ben, Bonsoir mademoiselle!"

And with that, Zacharie quickly fled the scene which gripped him so. Well not so quickly as to be rude, but certainly enough to disappear from the end of the Wind hall. His room in sight, a bastion and sanctuary for his mind, and perhaps now emotions as he hurried along his way. He collapsed onto his bed, not even bothering to take a shower given that pretty had that done thanks to Ben, which lead to this rather nice meeting, despite the tail bit. What would tomorrow bring? He wondered as he turned to his side and picked up his book, picking it up right where he left off before nodding off to his dreams.

Hey as long as Ben doesn't turn into the roleplay's bicycle I'm fine with him having a harem lol.

@vancexentan

Everyone wants a ride.

The Duel Tower: The first year students. (A Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Academy Roleplay.) [Axed]

Ben will get a harem only to have Andre turn into a moe little brother by the end of the roleplay and steal away Ben's glory.

@vancexentan

Actually Zach was leaving already as the other girl appeared but I guess I can write it into a post :P

<Snipped quote by 1Charak2>

With the mandatory gay love interest included, that is.

@Ammokkx

Yes.

Screw you man... Jim should a won that. Shame Jaden has plot armour...

@1Charak2

Plot armour?

There is only one thing that can destroy that...

Behold, forged in the blackest pits of the evil hearts of the executive producers, designed by the editors-in-chiefs, and sharpened by the cruel grit of the interwebs...

"It really shows," Zacharie replied back immediately after Ben finished his self-reflection, ending on the note of modeling himself after King Arthur. A poor choice of words, maybe, although so far Ben hasn't been able to pick up on the subtleties, nor has Zacharie himself for that matter committed himself to being as brave. Perhaps both had quite a bit to learn, and for this reason they were here. As his duel with Vincent demonstrated, Zacharie preferred the passive route, and more important, the careful route, destroying the backrow in lieu of the monster. He did not know it at the time, however he could have finished the duel in one turn, in two ways as fate handed him the cards needed to win against his friend. The first was to sacrifice Spellbook of Wisdom earlier and use Spellbook of Fate to return the backrow to Vincent's hand, leaving him with no defense against the chaos sorcerer, unless of course he used Spellbook of Secrets to pull the Spellbook of the Master before Wisdom, and Master to copy Secrets to pull Wisdom, and from there add more Fate-Fodder into his graveyard to allow his Priestess to banish Fate itself and destroy the monster card, with no cost to him as Fate was to be recovered by Eternity. And with these moves, he would not have summoned his Alchemist to charge his library, but rather the card he drew as a result of the additional counters from the spells, regardless of Vincent's book of moon to hopefully gain a monster with 1500 or more attack to finish the duel in one shot. "I mean, you are quite similar to him No? Physically and... Personnalité? Well, that was a good recovery, sort of.

"Ze Noble Knights are best when together and holding their swords, ze Archfiends destroy each other to make for themselves, tel duelliste, tel cartes. But I suppose I will 'ave to know le petit Carson better no? His remark to Ben's explanation of their sibling dynamics on their way back to Ben's dorm. It was more convenient after all than hauling a wet shirt, or wearing one all the way back to Light dorm. In comparison to the Zacharie's dorm, Ben's room was quite modest, but certainly more decorated by personal touches, some figurines of knights and sorcerers sitting on a shel and a noble knight poster signed by people Zacharie really ought to know but hadn't the foggiest idea. "Merci, So um, Ben," Zacharie began timidly as he walked over to the sink to wring out his shirt, "Err, I mean eh, Light is not too far from this, I like your room a bit more since you have added much more persona to it. La maison d'un homme est son château. I guess I will 'ave to call you 'king' 'ere no?"

"Merci encore, That should do it." With the last bit of his efforts, some good old physical labor not lost on a boy who spends more time reading than playing cards, or hitting the gym, he unrolled the shirt with a flick of his wrist. Taking off his Light jacket from around his body and setting it on the sink's edge as he put his slightly-drier shirt back on. "Well, I would 'ate to keep you from your célébration, if you 'ave time, feel free to visit me at Light... I mean if you want to, uh you don't 'ave to, what I mean iz, iz only fair for you to get to visit my room after zis eh... Anyways, Bonsoir mon ami. He hesitated at the parting line, almost wanting to instinctively wrap his arms around Ben and do the French thing with him. Although Vincent's earlier warning suggested he keep this tradition to himself and instead offered a handshake instead before shyly making himself scarce from the Wind dorm.

That was quite nice. Not like talking with Vincent nice but, a different sort of nice.

It's a great way to turn the tables on people who are aggressive and use Limiter Removal too early.

@Xeiyenreisha

<_< said person must be new at using Limiter if they used it at attack declaration rather than Damage Step.

Isn't Benevolence the reason why certain spirit monsters are banned like Yata?

@Xeiyenreisha

Yata prevents drawing lock after CED loop.

Benevolence only prevents battle phase, but you still can gain cards to get around it.
