Tension grows as the three of them look at each other menacingly.
Sir. Haru brushing his blonde hair, Sir. Tomoyuki fixing his lens, while Kazuya… Well, he just continues to stare at the floor.
"What game are we going to play?" Sir. Haru asked.
"Eh?" Kazuya fidgets as he sweats profusely.
"Don't be too nervous Kazuya, just be yourself and enjoy like before." Said Sir. Tomoyuki while he smiled softly at Kazuya.
There are two decks in front of Kazuya, Uno and regular cards. He picks the uno box and immediately fixes the cards as he removes them from the container.
He shuffled the deck three times and cut it to seven each, with the starting card of the pile being a yellow one.
"Prepare for an intense ass-whooping Kazuya," said Sir. Haru with an annoying tone.
"Haha, don't worry Kazuya. Just do your best." Said Sir. Tomoyuki.
Kazuya kept quiet. Even though he is cheered by Sir. Tomoyuki is still nervous because he's about to face his masters again.
'Haa, I'll lose here.' he thought.
Kazuya starts to shake as he takes his cards. He looks at it and is surprised at what he got. Two plus four, one blue plus two, two greens, and two reds.
Sir. Tomoyuki stares at his cards, while Sir. Haru gives a malicious grin to both of them.
"It's time to duel!" Sir. Haru announced.
"Duel!"
Mr. Haru starts by using a red one. Followed by Mr. Tomo with a red three. Then, Kazuya used green three.
"Hmm, you still remember playing cards Kazuya??" Sir. Haru asked.
"Of course sir, why would I forget what you taught me?"
"Hmmm, then prove it to me. I use a green reverse card!"
'Tch, what's he thinking about? Instead of giving Kazuya a warm welcome, you give him this?' Sir. Tomo thought.
"I use green nine," said Kazuya.
"I draw." Said Sir. Tomo, and draws three cards before playing a green seven.
Sir. Haru laughs wickedly as he plays a card.
"I use a plus-four!! Now, do you have the strength to counter this power Kazuya??!!"
"Oh I see, I also use a plus-four"
"Ahh!" said Sir. Haru. "Impossible!! I'll get you next time Kazuya!"
The two ignored Sir. Haru's threat, and continued.
"I'm sorry, Sir. Tomo. I used a plus 4." Said Kazuya.
"Don't worry Kazuya, I still have a trick on my sleeve," said Sir. Tomo places a card on the stack.
"I also use a plus 4!!"
Sir. Haru becomes speechless. His face turned sour as he received sixteen cards.
"Hahaha, as they say, don't get too cocky Haru," said Sir. Tomo
"Damn the both of you, I swear to get you both!"
The match continues, and as they approach the final stretch. They are left with two cards each.
"I use yellow two." Said Sir. Haru.
But, as Sir. Haru finished, he saw Tomo looking at him with a smug look, and he remembered what he had done wrong.
"Uno," said Sir. Tomo
Haru screamed silently in frustration. As he headbangs in the air.
"Your turn Kazuya." Said Sir. Tomo
"Ok, sir. Uno and I use a blue two."
Kazuya and Sir. Tomoyuki teamed up to defeat Sir. Haru. Before playing his card, he gave Kazuya a wink as a sign of his cooperation.
"Uno and, I use a plus 4."
Sir. Haru regained his composure and returns to his boastful look as he played his card.
"Hahahahaha!! Thank you Tomo, I'll make sure to use this card of yours to bring down Kazuya."
"Uno, I use a plus 4. Hahaha!! Say goodbye Kazuya!!"
Kazuya casually drops his cards as he looks at Mr. Haru with a blank face.
"I use a plus 4."
"WAAAAAA!! NOOOOO!!! WRYYYYYYYYY?!!"
"Hahaha, that's what you get for being cocky Haru."
The match ended. Haru bitterly accepts his defeat against his former student, and they start to eat their lunch together.
(Kazuya pov)
Haha… thanks again for the meal, it is so good.
But, to see Sir. Haru's crazed look makes me remember how disgusted I was by it.
I owe my thanks to Sir Tomoyuki for helping me win, also it's been a while since I won a duel.
"Kazuya, can I ask a question?" Sir Tomoyuki asked after sipping his ramen.
"What is it, sir?"
Sir. Tomoyuki seems to be uneasy, I wonder what he's thinking about.
"W-well, are you planning to work here?"
"Yes, I am. Well… Not yet because I'm still being trained by Ms. Niko before she hires me."
"Oh I see, we'll always follow her and you will be fine. Also, I'm glad that you're doing great and well."
So that's what you're worried about, always the caring father.
"oh come on sir, I won't go down that easily. Besides, I have promises to fulfill."
The two of us laughed for a moment, and it made me remember how nostalgic this moment is. We always laugh, we argue, but we are family.
"Speaking of promises." Sir. Haru interjects. "will you watch us at the incoming tournaments??"
Oh, the Yugioh tournaments I remember now. Sir haru and Sir Tomoyuki always attend the tournaments so they could earn extra cash.
"Sure, I'll be there sir."
"Good, also it's nice to have you back Kazuya. Tomo And I always miss you." Said Sir. Haru
"Aw, thank you so much."
"And now that you'll be working here, sooner or later. Then we will be able to see you every day." Said Sir. Tomoyuki
"I'll do my best to be hired here."
"Good good, we look forward to it Kazuya." Said Sir. Haru
To think that I would be able to see them every day is a dream. At will be hired here. Because seeing them now and then makes me remember the fun times we had during my high-school years.
"Well Kazuya, it's been fun. But we got to go back to school."
"I see, take care."
"Thanks, Kazuya, we hope to see you again soon."
"See you."
Hahaha, this day is truly a blessing. I got to start my workshop day, and I managed to have fun with my former teachers. I hope this day continues.
Kazuya's training continues, while Haru and Tomoyuki have thoughts about the match they had a while ago.
"Hey Haru, you don't need to be so rough to Kazuya."
"Hahaha, you can't blame me because I know how great Kazuya is at cards."
Tomoyuki starts to be pissed again at Haru as he continues to tease him.
"So you just wanted him to awaken his duelist spirit?"
"Of course, so we could have fun together."
Haru let out an awkward laugh, while Tomoyuki ignores him
"Tch, you should have told me earlier."
"My my tomo, you don't need to be grumpy."
Haru tries to touch Tomoyuki's face but gets rejected by his hand.
"Let your weird hands off me."
