Chapter 28: The Melancholy of Kei Mavis
Yuji |LP 0|
Yuji lost... he lost to someone that he mustn't to, he lost to someone who knew him while he himself don't.
He knew that sooner or later his secret would be exposed. But, to think it would be exposed in such amount of times, no... it's already long enough, it's just that it hasn't been a week since he enrolled here, and it still in the first step to achive his dream.
"Alright, Good Game!" tell her, as she points her fingers like a gun toward Yuji.
As defeating him is not enough, she even uses his catchphrase toward him, like pouring salt into his wound.
"Kuh..." looking at her grinning, he can't help but to grit his teeth, ashamed and frustrated.
Kei giggles watching the beaten Yuji who glares at her with his red eyes as he wants to cry.
Looking at him, an electrifying sensation suddenly spreads out from her womb to her whole body, so good and pleasant, that her cheeks become pinkish like begonia.
But as the leader and graceful woman (no way), she must hold the intense feelings.
She then looks at the surrounding, many student and teacher alike looking at her and Yuji. Smiling, she spreads her hands.
"Applause!!" Shout her.
The students and teachers, confused by her word but nonetheless they begin to applause, especially Crowler who clapping his hands so fast and so loud while laughing "hohoho".
Right now Kei felt superb, in contrast to her, Yuji felt sick like the whole world just ridicule at his downfall.
Kei then walks out to Yuji accompanied by the thunderous applause.
"Get up ♡" smiled her, as she extends her hand to help him.
"..." Yuji grits his teeth looking at her smiling face. As he still had pride remaining, he slap her hand, making everyone dumbfounded.
"Hehe, don't be like that. A loser should listen and follow the order of the winner... you know that very thing, right? Darling ♡" sneer her.
Yuji felt SICK looking and hearing her. It's just like somebody grabs then pull out his intestines very hard while humming a song, ignoring his plea for help.
She continues, "Get. Up" repeated her again to Yuji, as she extends her hand again.
"Tch!" Like swallowing a dung, Yuji took her hand.
"Good boy♡"
Yuji then gets up with the assistance from (ordered by) Kei.
After this, Kei turned back, and like a performer, "Ladies and Gentlemen! Student and Teacher! How is it?! Our duel?!!" ask her loudly.
Yuji narrowed his eyes, confused by her action.
From the audience, a teacher applause and give her a praise, "It's an amazing duel Ms. Mavis"
"Isn't it?" smile her.
Then many student and teacher also join to give their opinion on her and Yuji's performance.
Like: this is the first time they saw a monster with more than 20.000 attack.
Some of the teacher and student also praising Yuji for his performance, and some even wonders why he was in Slifer Red rather than Ra.
Yuji watching her silently confused about what she wants to do, "You... what do you want?" asked him worriedly.
"Hm?" Kei looks at him a bit surprised, "What do I want... let's see... snitching on you to your family for money and made them agreed to our marriage?" smiles her.
Yuji frown hearing her answer, it seems that his days on the academy are over, and that b*tch Kei still hellbent on the bet.
Yuji clenched his fists, his nails almost dig in to the flesh, but then Kei began to talk.
"Actually, I didn't care about money or marrying you, I just want to have fun. I felt bored waiting and looking at the clo- *cough* students... dueling happily with each other"
Yuji's right eye twitched, hearing her words. Of course, he understood her meanings, before he duels her, he also felt very happy to duel everyone, unlike some people who just despaired over it.
But now his situation changed! Rather than happy he felt frustrated and sober, it was all thanks to her shenanigans.
"So, what do you want for me now?" ask Yuji.
Kei held her chin, "Hmm, I don't know. I don't know the reason why you ran away from home, but I can guess a thing or two, and I actually didn't care"
She glares at his face, "But... if somehow my snitch resulting in your expulsion, it'll be a loss to The Duel Academy and the dueling world.
Duelist of your potential is hard to comes by, you know?" tell her.
She continues, "So, forget about it. Forget about our bet, because... it's just a GAME for me" she smiles, "I just bored, like hell I duel seriously against a junior"
Yuji grits his teeth, and walks toward her, and pull her collar, "You!" he wants to pull her collar and cursing her, but he holds it... he holds the humiliation and the bitterness.
Kei who probably realized what is in his mind, smiled like a hyena, "Hehe, if you want a rematch then get strong. Gather achievements and acquire more power... after that... we'll settle the matter" sneer her.
"... promise?" ask Yuji.
Kei nod, "Promise. If you didn't believe me, wants to make a pinky promise with me?" tell her, as she shows Yuji her little pinky finger.
She continues, "Go, your defeat didn't count. Go and duel more! Prove it to me, your determination"
"Wait for me! I'll get strong enough and pay you back for this bitterness!", say Yuji, determined.
"Okay~ but you must quick. I'll only have a little time in academy, after all... unlike you, I'm already on my final year" reply her.
"Don't you worry, I'll beat you soon enough!"
"Can't wait ♡" wink her.
...
Later, after the conversation with Kei.
"Yo, Yuji" some boy with dual brown color hair waves and walks toward him, "That was a sweet duel!"
"..." but Yuji didn't reply. Jaden's word is like a wind entering through one ear and exit pass through the other.
Don't mistake that Yuji ignores him, it's just that he was in deep thoughts, thinking about many things.
"Yuji?" Judai look at him worried, and then-
PAKK!
He strongly slap Yuji's back.
"Ouch! Who the-?! Oh... it's Jaden, what's wrong?" ask Yuji finally snap from his daze.
"Mmm, I just went to say Hi. I'm kinda worried when I look at you dueling that girl. It like you were in pain and desperate" reply him
"... Ha- hahaha, thanks for the worry bud. But, I'm okay now. In fact, I'm more fired up than before" say Yuji, determined.
Looking at his serious expression, Jaden nods happily, "Hm! Hm! That's more like it" smiled him.
"Rather than me, you should worry more about Syrus" say Yuji, but when he said that he noticed that Judai were looking down.
"Ah! So he-"
"Yeah, Sy's lost" Jaden nodded.
"... I see" say Yuji, as he closes his eyes.
"Sorry Jay, I still had things to do. Let's meet up again at dinner"
Say Yuji, as he began to search for a new opponent, leaving Jaden alone.
As something struct him, "Ah", Jaden scratches his hair.
"Ah!! I forgot to ask him for a duel!"
...
Later, after the conversation with Yuji.
"You're ingenious, you know that?" say Zane.
"I know" reply her, while sucking her lollipop.
"Why did you do it?"
"Bored. Happy?" reply her.
"..." Zane didn't talk more, "Araki... that is Yuji Kusanagi's real name, did you know him?" asked him.
Kei pulled out the lollipop from her mouth, "Eavesdropping is not a graceful act, you know?"
"You're the one who say his name out loud"
"Hmm~" Kei held her chin, "Fair point" nod her.
Zane Truesdale look at the bored girl, "Why didn't you fight him seriously? That's an insult t-"
Before he finished his words, Kei already cutting in.
"Hey pot, it was a me, kettle! You're black!" sneer her, "Don't talk nonsense about respecting your opponent. I knew that you didn't go all out against some opponent"
"..." Zane narrowed his eyes, even he manages to maintain his poker face, in his heart he was frustrated by her words.
"What? I'm right. You didn't even fight seriously in the previous inter-school match, you can quickly end him, but you opt to prolong it"
"Hmph, I just want to say don't look down on your opponent too much" Zane didn't continue, and left her alone.
"I know, jeez what a weirdo..." whisper her.
Kei then watch at the remaining students, their numbers already dwindle so much. She catch a glimpse of some interesting people, and even catch a glimpse of Yuji who were avoided by some student.
Looking at them, she starts to giggles. It's seems her final third year at The Duel Academy won't be a tasteless one.
"Alright... it's about time I'll end this charade"
