"Jounouchi, just choose an opponent already!" Akia urged the blond teen.
"No! I don't want to go for any shrimp out there! I want a real challenge! Something up to my level of skills!" Jounouchi stubbornly replied.
"Guys, you've been arguing for over an hour already, we could've done much more productive things in that time..." Anzu sighed in exasperation.
Akia had been pestering Jounouchi to just pick whoever was in front of him. His problem was that he was too proud to just take on some unknown Duelist. He wanted to go against someone who he felt was good enough to match. Akia on the other hand, thought that he should just go pick someone his own size, and not aim too big.
"Just make sure to stay in the Meadow area, since your monsters are mostly warriors and beasts," Yugi advised.
"Yeah, got it, Yugi," Jounouchi replied.
"Come on! Gimme your Star Chips and get lost!" A woman's voice sounded in the distance.
"That loud voice is..." Anzu muttered.
A voice that was highly annoying to Akia was heard nearby. The crew's attention was brought towards the noise, and, surely enough, it belonged to Kujaku Mai.
"...Kujaku Mai!" Anzu concluded.
She was laughing obnoxiously at how she defeated a Duelist and took all of his Star Chips. The Duelist looked pretty confused and angry.
"Tell me! How did you know what your set cards were without seeing them?!" He shouted out.
"That is... a secret," Mai winked at him while saying that sentence.
"That woman just can't stop flirting, can she..." Akia thought to herself.
To be completely honest, though, the black-haired girl was actually a bit jealous of Mai's innate self-confidence that just seemed to overshadow everyone else's. Kujaku Mai then loudly laughed, "haha! I'm getting so close to the prize!"
She then stopped, realizing that Yugi and the others were watching her.
"That woman already has four Star Chips!" Jounouchi exclaimed.
"I could've done better..." Akia mumbled.
Kujaku Mai then directed her whole attention to Yugi, "Yugi-chan! How are the duels going?"
Akia gagged inwardly at how Mai addressed her brother. So now Mai was trying to flirt with her twin? That was just weird.
"N-Not bad," Yugi stuttered.
Akia took a glance at Anzu, and her whole face expression told her everything. Anzu was pissed. Very pissed. She didn't like that such an attractive woman was flirting with the guy that she had feelings for, even though she didn't really admit that she had feelings for Yugi. Mai then took her flirting a step further, and took Yugi's hand in hers, using it as an excuse to see his Star Chips.
"So you have three Star Chips, Yugi-chan?! Maybe we should duel?" Mai suggested.
Anzu looked downright on the verge of murdering Mai. Akia felt a little uncomfortable as well. She knew that Mai was doing all this only to get Yugi's Star Chips in the end.
"Yugi, beat this woman to a pulp," Anzu said and Yugi got surprised by her tone of voice. Anzu was usually a very nice person so hearing her say something like that threw everyone off.
"Okay, I decided who I should challenge to a duel now. My opponent will be..." Mai trailed. She then pointed at someone that nobody even thought she would point at, "Jounouchi-kun!"
