[Pov Drogan]
Watching Mokuba fight Marik was honestly less interesting than I thought it would be, mainly because Marik was playing A really cheap deck.
I Thought he would have played something more dynamic but maybe that's why he played like that since he's still in his terrible disguise, regardless I had a feeling he was going to win.
yeah, yeah, I know I gave Mokuba his powerful deck but fate has a way of messing with things to make things work out, essentially I don't really count the duel since Marik had plot armour.
While the duel was going on, I was the witness to another great battle, a battle of the flavours.
It turns out that each of the Demi gods have a certain flavour which they like over others, mainly because I haven't interfered acting as an impartial observer and because it's funny, they have actually grouped up to lobby me for food like a democracy.
In the Sweet Squad is Miquella, Ranni and surprisingly Radahn.
The Salty Solution has four members: Morgott, Godwyn, Malenia and Leonard.
Housed in the Bitter Bunch are both Rykard and Messmer.
The last party is the Umami Union with; Melina & Mogh.
As a note out of the group only really Fortissax liked sour flavours maybe because his tastes buds are death touched so he can't taste anything else, that or Dragons like sour flavours, I have no idea.
but regardless the war of flavour cross past lines and made new connections between the fragmented family so I won't complain, wait I will complain mentally since like a democracy they won't stop shouting out their party's policy.
Now unlike a Democracy though some of the parliament's members aren't beings of great magical power who have the possibility to harm me in the future, honestly the way Radahn's looking at me makes him feel more intimidating than Malenia who is currently sharpening her blade with a whetstone.
I shiver as I feel a cold sensation down my back for some reason, but my focus is taken away as Mokuba and Seto arrive back at the room in the same elevator while Marik appears from a different elevator.
It only takes a few moments for them to re-join the group before the announcer starts to speak.
"Dear Finalists, welcome to the next round of duels in the Battle City tournament finals, we will take a 10 hour Break before the next round of duels, I have also been informed of a changes made to the next round of Duels."
the Announcers words informing of the 10-hour break and the change of the rules spreads murmurs though the crowd but it doesn't take long for the announcer to recapture the attention of everyone present and watching on the air.
"The Change of the rules are as such: at this moment all of the spheres of this round of duels will be distributed randomly with their results hidden from the collective this isn't done in pairs so the sphere you hold will not be the same connection for the next round your opponent holds.
Secondly The Spheres will have a set priority, this will be used to determine the order of the duels at the end of the 10-hour break, the list will be presented once all the spheres are distributed and the set priority is in correlation to the remaining Life points the duellist had in the last round of duels.
Lastly, For this 10 hour Break period At any time you may trade the sphere you hold with another willing duellist who has a sphere, but after the third duel of the round the fourth duel will be against the remaining two duellists regardless of the spheres they hold."
Mentally My Troll boner is piercing the ceiling since I just made the next round into a Yugioh hunger games scenario, where the duellists have to balance duel difficulty against intended targets.
I watch the room to gauge the reactions of the present duellist, and I can tell its a mixed bag.
First of all, Seto is Furrowing his brow in annoyance maybe because if we were following a normal bracket style tournament he would be duelling Marik (Odion) next but I just flipped the table.
I will say it's not great for me either since I remember I played a Flawless game against Joey taking no damage, so I'm slated to have a priority ball.
It doesn't take much time, but 8 men hired by Kaiba corp come into the room holding cube containers attached to handcuffs, each of the men go to approach a finalist before attaching a box to each duellist.
I inspect mine to reveal a simple latch system which is attached to a mechanical device and timer which is counting down.
"Now The break period will commence in 5 minutes, It is recommended to return to your rooms to open the box containing your opponent's sphere in private."
With that the extra staff in the room disperse back out of the main room, this includes the announcer as the timers on all our boxes start to tick down, at this moment the actual list appears for everyone to see.
Guinevere = 1st (5100)
Drogan = 2nd (4000)
Yugi = 3rd (3700)
Kaiba =4th (1350)
Namu =5th (1300)
Bakura =6th (450)
Patches =7th (350)
Marik= 8th (200)
Taking the order into account I take this as the time to leave, so as I leave, I follow the democracy of the demi gods and Salty Snack from the food present before sodding off to my room.
Once there it doesn't take long for the timer to finish up and it reveals to me a Sphere.
Taking it out before spinning it on the tip of my finger I smirk as the sphere indicates a flipping pattern between a cup of tea and a ominous Ring.
