(GS3) Field: Hoshiko High School

[Cipher Izanagi]

At the challenge Seifer thought about it a moment and nodded. He couldn't figure out what the heat and burning was but he still had to test the changes to his deck. "Sure. Let's go." he replied pulling out his deck.

[Azuki Frappé]

Ighanna entered the biology lab room as if about to conduct a student-led experiment but reality, it was just a plain ol' gathering of cardfighters. She then noticed one girl who seemed to be studying intently into a musical piece of her audition.

"Thats, Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, right?" Ighanna questioned as she was also given that piece to practice for her Orchestra Audition as a cellist. "Nice to know you're also joining the orchestra, I hope to see you there!" Ighanna said in joy as she found another person to acknowledge at school, especially she doesn't know anyone else who is joining the orchestra.

[Hope]

"Good Afternoon minnasan." Isabella entered the room, placing her bag onto one of the tables.

It looked as if a fight was already starting with Haruka-kun and Sliffer. She opted to get a quick rest since class just ended and sat at a nearby table, a good distance where she would be able to spectate. Haruka-kun was glowing as always.

"Haruka-kun faitoo!" she cheered him on before taking her seat.

"Right..." she spread the Duo units across the table, all of which coordinated into uniform black costumes.
'Good Afternoon Hana~,' Reit greeted.

That kind of greeting struck Isabella in a strange way. It just seemed awfully familiar. She continued to scan the cards, familiarizing herself with them and the abilities of this new deck that had appeared to her. Duo... What does it represent? Her double life? The perfect idol to many, but to Haruka she is... She shook her head, if that was so then she picked the darker side of herself.

She picked up Reit, the eyes of the card pierced through her very soul.
"You're worse than Pacifica..."

For some reason the rest of the clan seemed distant to her, very distant.

[Spectre Diamond]

Hikaru stepped into the room after examining it before entering. To say the least he's hoping to get some answer from this club that he's been hearing about for the past day or so. He sees Hana working the contents of her deck, two girls looking over at a sheet and Haruka fighting someone he doesn't know. He walks over to Hana to start a conversation.

"Hello their Hana or should I say Hope?"

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia glanced up from her music only when she heard Seifer speak up again, tilting her head. Being focused on the sheet music, she didn't realize Haruka had challenged her housemate. Nor did she realize another girl had spoken to her. "O-oh! Sorry. Uh, yeah. I'm going for the violin, and I want to try getting First Chair... but its nice to meet you~ Funny how we're both going for Orchestra and Cardfight! I'm Rosalia Mooncrest~"

She then moved so that she could watch the fight and was putting her music sheets away when she realized how many papers she actually had for the main melody compared to the rest. "Oh... oh! No no no... It was here, I swear..." The other sets of music had equal numbers of pages, but the set she was studying had one less than the rest. "A-ah.. good luck, Seifer and Haruka! I'll be right back. I need to stop at the music room again. I think I dropped a page..." She put her deck back into her bag, just to keep it safe, and took her bag with her out of the room.

The redhead first checked her last class of the day, and the paper wasn't there. Her next guess was the music room where she had gotten the sheets in the first place. Sure enough, it was just outside the room on the floor. "Oh thank goodne-..." Rosalia stopped, seeing someone standing just next to the paper on the floor. She didn't recognize him at first, but as she got closer, it was none other than one of the guys she had passed briefly in the forest a few days ago when searching for her friend Neo, but didn't remember a name. "U-um.. excuse me.. I forgot a paper here, and you're almost stepping on it... M-mind if I get it real quick?..."

[[R.T] SpiderHunterMD]

Before Amon entered the Music room, he heard a familiar voice. [The Underground King, should totally have seen this coming]. Amon ran in the direction of the voice, hoping he could find the king. He ran as fast as he could, considering his injury.

He found the King. "The Hell are you here for, Underground King?!"

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia stood there dumbfounded, scooting to the side along the wall. Who.. who in the world is the Underground King?... She didn't bother to ask, grabbed her paper, and ran down the hall in the opposite direction. She didn't stop until she was back in the biology room. It wasn't even outside the room. She ran straight into it and collapsed to her knees in the middle of the room where she was safer, sitting by Seifer's side and panting. "L-looks like.. like I got.. back in time for the fight..." she huffed, clinging to her bag and paper.

[Azuki Frappé]

"Nice to meet you too, my name is Ighanna R. Colberg" Ighanna replied to introduce herself as the girl went off to the music room for a while before returning back again collapsing in the middle of the room. This was all however her peripheral vision as Ighanna's eyes were staring intently into the game between Haruka and the other guy, analysing every single play as the game was going. She soon remembers vaguely how the card game goes after being away from her deck for several months.

"Your name's Seifer, was it? Mine's Ighanna, nice to meet you to." Ighanna introduced herself as she tries to figure out the other guy's name right after the battle ended. "Nice game there."

[Hope]

"You can call me Hana, Australia-kun." She laughed.

She scooped up her cards back into a pile and inserted them back into the box, it seems like the fight with Haruka-kun and Slifer was just about over. A thought ran across her head to maybe invite Tsubasa here. The had kept in touch over the year and hadn't seen each other since the dinner invite where he had to go a bit early. There was no harm in inviting him to the club today, especially for the first day.

"Tsubaka are you available today? Cardfight club meeting over at Hoshiko High School, Biology Room 205, North Hall. Are you alumni here by the way? Guess it'd make this easier to find, if not then just ask students and staff. Thanks. ISA Hope :3c"

She placed her phone back into her bag and continued to speak to the Underground King.

"I've been trying to start local charities and fundraisers for Umano. At the very least, that's the most that I could do without getting too involved in the turf war like you asked. Sadly, the project would take about a few months to a few years."

[Spectre Diamond]

"Oh Fundraisers." He wasn't expecting for that to happen. Hikaru had expected Hana to join in the attacks against the other factions of the underworld, but given her nature this was unlikely to happen. Hikaru then remembered the body guards of Hana when he came back from the hospital.

"Hana I would like to thank you for the support you have been giving me since I was hospitalized. Thank you." He said with a genuine smile. A smile he rarely gave out to anyone due to the escalating brutality of the turf war and his life experiences.

[Jello]

Things were different this time. Haruka felt all the heat he used to when he fought. The sweat, the fired up feeling of checking critical after critical trigger. Tahr was with him today. Pray to Based Tahr forever.

Haruka even got to do his now infamous Crossbreak Ride, being able to break ride Dragonic Overlord The End on the new Overlord break ride unit. This allotted him the ability to chain multiple Vanguard attacks together by going after rear guards, stacking up triggers whilst retiring enemy rear guards in the process. This was Haruka's trademark. Restanding the Vanguard was always his favorite thing, because he felt himself too stand up even in the most dire situation. It was one final push, a final advance to close it all out and burn his barricades to ash. So he did. He pushed with the break ride, then with the End

Peredur and Mordred would have ended Haruka from the second break ride turn for Seifer hit... if Haruka hadn't managed to hoard perfect guards from Turn 1. He managed to burn through the Shadow Paladin burst and blitz tactics on break ride turn, and by weathering the storm, Haruka got his counterattack and finished the game 4 to 6.

He was burning up from the inside out. But Overlord and him resonated to an extreme this fight. The bonds that had been burned were not simply turned to ash, but glazed over in a new inferno. Haruka smiled and cheered for his victory, then promptly gave a thumbs-up to Seifer.

"Thanks for the fight man! It's great to finally be back in action with My Avatar. Haahh..." He sighed out a breath of relief.

Seifer AP+3

Haruka walked over to the now present Hana after his fight. Excitement filled him up after such an intense battle. He waved over to her and Hikaru who seemed to be chatting about Umano.

"Hey, didn't see you come in." With a light peck on Hana's lips, he pocketed his hands, still a bit confused.

"So, a fundraiser is going on? Any way I can help?" Haruka was actually more or less interested in helping out Umano if he could. Haruka had been there a couple of times and none of them were particularly pleasant. He knew Hikaru was a good person at heart, and had a lot on his plate to deal with. If there was a way for Haruka to get involved too, that would be just as nice.

[Cipher Izanagi]

During the fight, the heat Seifer felt continued to grow more intense, and at the sight of Overlord, he almost crumpled, especially when his sixth damage hit. He was down and depressed but he tried his hardest not to show it. Giving a thumbs up back, he put his deck away and stood up, walking toward the door to the bio room. "I'm... Going to go get something to drink... I'll be back in a bit... You guys can just start without me. It'll be ok." he said as he walked out the door, shutting it behind him and walking down the hall, his eyes shut halfway.

Haruka AF+3

[Hope]

She respected the effort that the Underground King put into the Umano community, as corrupt and as violent as it has gotten. His smile seemed strange, she could tell it was something that he didn't do often, so it felt like somewhat of an accomplishment. "Well I can join and fight if need be, but only if it gets to that point. As is right now it's your duty to keep that place in order until the necessary funds are raised to reform the area." It has gotten quite out of hand the past few days, but it wasn't his fault. It really was far too much for him. She remembers the first time that they fought, a year ago back in Card Capital. He was way different back then. It seems now that he's found a sense of honor and duty, and he knew what he wanted and had to do.

Haruka-kun was victorious. She kissed him back as well, blushing in the aftermath. In terms of the fundraiser, there wasn't much to do other than keep a steady pattern of events going and getting the support of the local card shops. There was a way for the club to help out as well, and it was...

"Oh! Everyone, how about the Cardfight Club doing some sort of a fundraiser to raise money for Umano? With the culture festival that comes every year, I think we would be able to!"

[RosaliaIzanami]

Rosalia, having caught her breath, was able to watch the final few turns of the fight after her trip to the music room. She kept quiet during the fight of course, but her eyes wasn't actually on the field for the most part. She was watching Seifer himself, a small frown appearing on her lips. He wasn't doing well, and not for the fact he was losing. It was losing against Kagero. When the brunette left the room, Rosalia was glad she still had all of her papers and deck in her schoolbag instead of unpacking it all again. "I'm.. gonna go keep him company..." she said softly with a wave to the rest of the room, then turned to the door that was now shut.

She did stop and hesitate for just a second, but with a deep breath, she opened the door and headed after her housemate in the hallway. She didn't speak though; only slowing to a walk by Seifer's side.

[NeoBuster]

I think that would be a great idea." Neo said to Hana

"It would be a good start for us as a club.
