Duel Monsters: Primary's Story

Chapter 3: The New Gaming Shop

The wind blew ever so softly. There were kids playing on a playground that was not too far. Although the children were having such a great time, their laughter couldn't block out the sound of the soft, gentle breeze blowing in the wind. Not too far from the playground, there was a table. Here is where two high school students played a children's card game. It seemed as though this silence had lasted for a long time between the two.

But in reality, it had only lasted a couple of minutes. The young blond student broke the silence.

"Ah man. How could I lose? I even had moi Red-Eyes out!"

"Yeah well that dragon of yours, " Lucas pointed to himself, "couldn't beat this Red-Eyes."

"Ah you got lucky." Joey began getting his card organized. "But next time, I'll be the one bragging 'bout it. "

"Yea well until then, " said Lucas raised a hand and offered a hand shake, "that was a good game. "

Joey seemed a bit surprised, but accepted Lucas's kind, respectful gesture. They shook hands in sign of respect for one another. For Lucas, Duel Monsters was a game of fun and suspense. Honestly though, it's just card game.

A couple of minutes after Joey had left, Lucas finally decided to take off his school jacket, folded the jacket neatly, takes out his favorite red vest, and puts it on. This was Lucas's signature look; a black, colored shirt(although most of the time, Lucas would wear a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up), tucked into his black dress pants, a black belt with a silver brace, black dress shoes, and a scarlet, red vest just to stand out. Lucas believed that black and red was a magnificent combination.

After he "Dressed-up", Lucas decided to walk away. He packed his school jacket, as well as his deck, into his school bag, and started off.

Lucas quickly turned and stared at a tree. For some reason, this tree was giving off some weird vibes for Lucas. His crimson, red eyes were focused straight at the tree, half expecting something to pop out. After a few minutes, the only thing that popped out was a cute little squirrel, scurrying off to another tree.

"I'm starting to lose it." Lucas said. It's funny. He could've swore he saw a figure standing out of the corner of his eye. Oh well. Lucas started to walk again.

As Lucas was walking away, a shadowy figure appeared from the tree: "Oh but you will lose it. Sooner or later."

...

*The Next Day*

Lucas was sitting in his usual seat. He was seated in the middle of the back row of the class. He had the option to sit in the farthest seat closest to the window, but quite frankly, it just seemed too weird. It felt a bit odd and just too cliche.

Class had just ended and Lucas was ready to go and try to duel the King of Card Games again.

"HEY RED!"

Unfortunately, Lucas's fantasy of dueling the Duel King had to wait for he was interrupted by a young student who barged into the class right when the bell rang. It's as though he was outside the classroom waiting for the class to end.

"I told you not to call me that, Jacob. People are still under the impression that I am a part of that one toy company because of that unoriginal nickname you've given me based off the colors of my eyes."

"Oh don't you talk smart with me," said the young man who wrapped his arm around Lucas's shoulder casually, "You love the nickname since your favorite color is red and all."

This young man's name is Jacob Den. Jacob was the same age as well as the same height as Lucas. He is also Lucas's best friend since pre-school. Jacob would also duel with Lucas occasionally, considering Lucas's mentor was too busy to duel him anymore.
