Duel 002: Peaceful Days! The Fluffiest Training Montage Commences

[fluffydeathdealer]

[It's a bit of a pain, being in a school with no teachers.

Ryou Bakura isn't the type of kid who really likes being too active; he's about on the level of most ordinary teenagers. But after being laid up for so long with the burns to his arms and leg, not only is he extremely restless, but he's sure even his metabolism won't hold up much longer, with the amount he eats. That's why, after checking to see that Henry isn't home to take him up on that training offer, he's decided to try treating this like school and taking an hour or so to do his very own gym class, all by himself. It'd be easier with teachers, but... he doesn't have a choice right now.

Most kids probably would just take the break and be lazy, but right now, Ryou's working hard. Apart from the occasional break, he can be found pretty easily in the east wing, dressed in gym clothes and doing everything from running laps on the track field to climbing ropes.

...though that last one is more like 'falling off ropes'. Stupid mats... they don't cushion that fall at all. Hopefully nobody's dumb enough to stand below him.]

Ow...

[Time for a banana and some water, he thinks.]

Ah, I'm so tired...

[hyperhero]

Not really! I mean, this isn't a dueling school, so why bother?

[Ryou he didn't even stay awake in classes about a thing he adored what makes you think he's going to look around for ones here?]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Aha... you're really not the studious type, huh?

[hyperhero]

Not really. I mean, dueling is about working with your deck and going with it, not studying and math and all that stuff!

[fluffydeathdealer]

But duelling won't be enough to get by in life, you know? You need to have other skills too.

[hyperhero]

No way! Once it hits my time, dueling is how you can make a living, easy! You just have to have the skills for it!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Eh?! Really? Duelling's gotten that important?

[hyperhero]

You bet! Why else do you think Duel Academy exists? It's a school for elite duelists only!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Amazing... In just those few years, something like that will be so important... Then, in that case, I can understand why you wouldn't find anything else meaningful.

[hyperhero]

Well, I'm sure it means something to someone! But not to me! I can get by just doing what I love, so why try all that stuffy stuff?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Ahaha... but you know, Judai-kun, you should at least look after yourself, right?

[hyperhero]

You mean with cooking and everything? I was doing okay with the vending machines!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Then, I can always just stop cooking for you...

[He's blatantly joking.]

[hyperhero]

[AAAAHUUUGGGGHGGAAAAHHH]

I take it back! I take it back! Please don't stop!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hehe, well, since you asked so nicely... I'll just have to keep cooking for you as long as you're here!

[hyperhero]

Great! Thanks, Ryou!

[He's grinning widely now, looking for all the world like a puppy that just got its first treat.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

But I wonder... why is Judai-kun in the gym if he isn't trying gym class?

[hyperhero]

I was just looking around and kinda wandered in here.

[...Really?]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

Do you just have a sixth sense for duelists? Or is it really that random?

[hyperhero]

I can smell a duel no matter where it is, so I've gotta have the sense for duelists, too!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Then maybe you came in here because I was in here?

[hyperhero]

Probably! Speaking of which, let's go duel again!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Eh?! Right now?

[...though he's not sorry for a distraction. He's going to be stiff as anything later.]

Well... I'm okay with that! But we'll have to stop off at the apartment... I don't have the Duel Disk with me.

[hyperhero]

Sure thing!

[He tucks his hands into his pockets, grinning. He can be surprisingly patient when it comes to duels!]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Just give me a minute or two first, okay? I need to change.

[He's already heading for the showers.]

[hyperhero]

Yep! I'll wait over here!

[Judai flops onto the bench, looking for all the world a big, relaxed dog.]
