“I hope we can have a good game.”
As she walked up to the center of the stage to face the opponent, Rin said calmly with her usual amicable smile. The Judge was standing near them, overseeing the interaction.
“Me too. Also… do your best.”
The summoner named Fier gave a perfunctory reply before the two shook hands for formality. This match’s Judge was a woman. She signaled both summoners to go back to their corners.
“Alright. Calm down, Rin. You can do this…”
Rin murmured, telling herself to keep her focus. The figure in a white dress took a deep breath as she exchanged a gaze with the competitor standing a few meters away. The cogs in her brain were still turning, trying to predict what Half her opponent would send to the board first.
There were only around ten seconds left to review the strategy.
The Judge held up her hands, then forcefully brought them down…
Let’s Duel!
“Come out, White Rose Elf!”
