Shinsei didn’t stay at the dorms, but he knew that when he needed a challenge, that was the place to be. Even though the year was still young his reputation became known very quickly, so not many wanted to duel him. However that was not a strong enough reason to stop him. There was one student at the dorm that was pretty well known for being a top student, but refused to fight Shinsei. This time Shinsei was not gonna give him a choice as he had an ace up his sleeve, literally. While underhanded, Shinsei took his ace card from their deck during class as everyone was distracted. If he refused to duel him this time, then Shinsei would simply just threaten to destroy the card right in front of them.
The Dorm was quiet later in the day as many of the students were either inside or out in town to enjoy their time off. Thankfully fortune was on Shinsei’s side as when he reached the dormitory not only was the student there, they just so happened to be outside at the entrance. The student noticed Shinsei and instantly knew what he wanted and gave a quick response “Hey dude, don’t even ask. The answer is no”
With a wide Smirk Shinsei reached into the back of his pocket and grabbed onto his deck box. With a flick of his wrist he opened up and grabbed onto a card from it. His reply to the decline was cold yet spiteful “You don’t have a choice this time, unless you no longer want to see your card again” Shinsei drew out the students card showing it off to them. With eyes widened open, the student frantically looked into his own deck box and only now realized what happened. Only anger existed in his tone as he yelled out at Shinsei
“You scum! You sink so low just for a simple duel?! What do you even gain from it?!” Shinsei didn’t care if what he did was scum or not, all the matter was that he proved he was the best, and by taking out top students was the best way to do it.
“Simple, I want to prove that I’m the best duelist. If you’re as good as people say you are, than you should provide a decent challenge” The student had no choice as Shinsei said those words “Fine” They said hesitantly “Give me back my card and we can duel” Shinsei was not the smartest in his class but he knew at least not to rid himself of a bargaining chip. “Not happening, you duel me first and then you get your card back. Don’t want you to turn tail after I give it back now do we?”
Shinsei had a point but it did contradict his own desire as the student pointed out “How do you expect me to give you a challenge if you keep my strongest card from me?!” The tension built up as the two stared each other down. It was a game of chicken at this point of who would cave first, Shinsei didn’t like the idea of his opponent fighting in a weakened state. But this was the only way so far he got a yes out of them.

The concept of the Good Samaritan is one as old as time itself: a stranger with no connection to those involved steps in to do the right thing. Having one come to your aid is proof enough to restore your faith in humanity, while being one is a task that not many are up to. Not only does it take the good moral compass to guide one in the right direction to intervene, but also the inner strength and courage to be the one to stand up and lend that helping hand.
Masumi Sakamoto, resident bottom-ranking duelist in her class, definitely didn't seem to be the type of ALL people. At that moment, she was happily snacking away at some chocolate-covered pretzel bits from the vending machine that she tried to duel on one of her first days at the academy. Going for strolls around campus were nice when she could find the time for them, in that sometimes she could potentially find a new friend or rival to cross cards with! (Alrighty: about time I headed back! Doku's probably busy with schoolwork, and I think I've been out and about enough today. Time to go home for Movie Night! I'm feelin'... Comedy! No, adventure! Maybe a little thriller- but not the mystery kind, 'cuz my head hurts from all this school stuff-)
“You don’t have a choice this time, unless you no longer want to see your card again.”
Overhearing that on her way past the entrance to the Silvolver boys dormitory caused her to stop on a dime, frozen on the spot. The piece of pretzel-y goodness in her right hand dropped back into the bag, which made what seemed to her to be a loud crashing noise. It was like a wrecking ball had been driven straight through the chipper mood she had going. Bullying was something Marcy wasn't a stranger towards... Well, at least in the traditional sense. She was a rather lonely child after she and her parents moved to the big city, and at first, everyone loves to pick on the new kid. In truth? She didn't mind that much if her "friends" weren't so nice so long as they talked to her. For some reason, though, even the bullies stopped paying attention to her because her reactions were so outlandishly bubbly and kind that there wasn't any sort of gratification in it...
That being said, not everyone appreciates the attention and gets off scot-free like her. The boy who had his card stolen was clearly distressed. A troubled shade overtook her normally sparkling expression, and slowly turning around to Shinsei, she began approaching him.
"...Hey," Marcy remarked, giving him a rather stern glare. No fancy frills in her tone, no smile to accompany the remark- nothing at all. Strictly business. Her bag of snacks was balled up in her right fist. "He said he wants his card back, dude. If it doesn't belong to you, you gotta give it to him. You're just being mean."

Shinsei was slightly caught off guard, but not even to flinch. A random girl wanting to play hero and get in his way of a challenge? Shinsei came all this way and went through the effort of this and was not to be so easily denied. But the point of his current desired opponent not having his card does weaken them significantly. But an idea came across Shinseis mind albeit not the most desirable approach.
“Fine, you want me to give it back? Win it back. You duel for this chump of a duelist and I’ll give back the card” Straight to the point Shinsei offered the girl an ultimatum. If she had the guts to try and stand up to him, then she must be somewhat skilled, at least that’s what Shinsei had hoped. But something kept picking at the back of his head, something he couldn’t quite catch. As if he knows her from somewhere, did he see her at the entrance exam? Was it that he heard about her somewhere? These thoughts didn’t really matter at the time, but Shinsei couldn’t help escape it.
To escape his own thoughts Shinsei returned his attention to his question and reiterated it “Well what do you say girly? You think you’re tough enough to beat me and win the card back? Or are you gonna go call your mommy or something?”

Letting out a stubborn grunt, Marcy clenched the fist holding her snacks as a sickening crunch sounded out: she practically ruined her food with how many pretzel bits were being ground up in that bag judging from its sound alone. Looking back to the student she was defending, she nodded with a resolute look before locking her sapphire gaze back onto Shinsei. "I'm more than ready to take you down, buddy! I'm gettin' that card back and teaching you to stop being a big, mean jerkface!" Masumi declared, widening her stance and flourishing her Duel Disk-toting arm in front of her with a daring display of force. The theatrics she put into her opening didn't waver one bit, and showing off that glittery, painted mess of a device she was packing definitely hindered that menacing aura she was going for. "Let's get this party started!"
"Field: set! Let's bring these monsters to life!" It was a catchphrase she developed for herself shortly after her fascination with dueling took root, even without a Duel Disk to do it. Something about having a few constant catchphrases to say made her feel like a unique, flashy fighter worthy of some respect... Which she probably needed desperately, given her normal skill level. Those same sayings remained even now. "Draw five cards, aaand..."
"LET'S DUEL!!!"

This time, she actually remembered the rules: cards can't be peeked at until a turn order was decided. With her cards still in her left, she raised her right arm and pointed her index finger forward with her thumb in the air. That intense look on her face didn't waver: the idea of cutting loose and relaxing wasn't even close to her thought process now, especially when some poor guy's card was on the line! Victory was a must, and even someone as dense as her knew that. "The first turn's yours. Go for it."
...Well, this hand was certainly something. Fluffal Dog, Fluffal Wings, Edge Imp Scythe, Frightfur Patchwork, and- poetically- Fluffal Cat, her self-proclaimed 'ace'. Frightfur Sabre-Tooth was its counterpart, but before the sharp, torturing metal of an Edge Imp touched its fur, it was a cuddly little feline. Fitting that her favorite monster in this deck was in her starting hand, for a duel she couldn't afford to lose.

Shinsei shook his head as the girl gave him the option to go first, unless she’s running some sort of power house deck that can kill their opponent in a single turn giving Shinsei the ability to set up everything uninterrupted was her first big mistake. “Fine then” Shinsei exclaimed as he drew his first five cards. Not the strongest hand he ever had, but it was not a lost cause. Shinsei grabbed his first card as he activated it “I activate one for one” The card that allowed him to discard a monster card to special summon a level one monster from the deck. A little flower popped from the ground, the flower bloomed and a Psi-Reflector came out from it. Psi-Reflector’s effect triggers to add any assault card to his hand. He added Assault Beast to his hand, who he immediately discarded for its own effect.
“By discarding Assault Beast I can add Assault mode to my hand” With the Assault Mode engine all set, Shinsei activated the Psi-reflectors effect. By revealing the Assault Mode, he can revive the Assault Beast and change its level up by four. Psi-Reflector opened up a portal summoning the Assault Beast as the level four monster turned to level five. But the play was not over as Shinsei activated another effect “I activate Dopple Warrior, when I revive a monster I can special summon this card.”
Shinsei had a level one tuner and level five non tuner. Together Shinsei could synchro summon a monster onto the field. The two jumped into the air, the tuner opening a Synchro gate as Assault Beast turned into five stars. With a bright flash Stardust Charge Warrior came to the field. When Synchro summoned it allowed Shinsei to draw another card, but the play was not over as Shinsei activated Synchro Overtake and added Junk Synchron to hand. Shinsei then normal summoned the Junk Synchron. Junk Synchron popped onto the field, grabbed hold of the starter on its back and activated its effect to special summon a level two or lower monster from the grave and he chose Cyberse Synchron.
But his opponent was not gonna allow this play to go entirely uncontested. "Hold it: I activate the effect of Edge Imp Scythe from my hand! I discard both Fluffal Wings and Edge Imp Scythe from my hand to Fusion Summon my Level 9 Frightfur Cruel Whale! Its effect activates: when it's Fusion Summoned, I can destroy one card from each player's field: I target Stardust Charge Warrior on your field... And Frightfur Cruel Whale on my own!" She declared. Shinsei was somewhat confused why she would invest two cards just to pop Charge Warrior. But that was not the end of her plan.
"But here's the catch: by banishing Edge Imp Scythe from the Graveyard, my Whale's gonna be just fine! Next, I chain Frightfur Cruel Whale's other effect: by sending a 'Frightfur' card like my 'Frightfur Daredevil' from my Deck or Extra Deck to the Graveyard, a Fusion Monster I control gains ATK equal to half of its original ATK until the end of this turn. Although you can't attack me this turn, padding my Graveyard ahead of time isn't a bad call. Frightfur Cruel Whale's also gonna have some extra insurance in case you were relying on it not pulling its weight!"
The girls' play wasn’t awful but Shinsei couldn’t help but open his own mouth as he mocked the girl “You know telling your opponent of your future plan just gives me more knowledge to screw over your plays right?”
The guy she was defending just grew more pale as he knew his card was gone forever at this point.
With Charge destroyed Shinsei continued his plan and Synchro summoned using Doppel Warrior and Junk Synchron to make Junk Speeder. Junk Speeder and Doppel Warrior both triggered their effects giving two level one tokens, another Junk Synchron, and Satellite Synchron. Satellite Synchron used its effect to make itself level 4 and combined with a token made T.G Librarian. Cyberse Synchron and the other token made Celestial Double Star Shaman. Shaman triggered its own effect to bring back Doppel Warrior from the grave. Junk Synchron and the warrior made Junk Warrior. With two more tokens on the field Shaman, a token, and Junk Speeder together made Colossal Fighter.
After all those Synchro summons while T.G. Librarian was on the field, Shinsei ended on the board of Librarian, Colossal Fighter, Junk Warrior three-thousand-two-hundred attack, and a token, with a hand size of six.
“Come on girly, try and be a hero now!” Shinsei said in a mocking tone as he ended his turn.
