Ryuuga, Emon, Fujiko and Hikaru were all sitted on the same table. Three of them were looking at different cards, reading their effects, thinking about what it could do in their respective decks. They didn't bothered to say any words. They were too focused on improving in order to win the upcoming regional tournament. The sound of cardboard touching cardboard was non-stop and started driving one of Team Spiral Terra's members insane.

"For god's sake.... CAN YOU THREE STOP BEING DECK BUILDING NERDS?! THE REGIONALS DON'T START IN LIKE, TWO WEEKS!" Hikaru desperately shouted, grabbing his own shirt and dramatically tightening the grip to show the pain on his heart.

"It's never too early to start preparing." The other three members said together in the most nonchalant tone of voice Hikaru had ever heard.

He squinted at his teammates' answer before getting up and pointing his deck at Fujiko. "Fight me again. Queenie! You get three slaps if you win!"

"Need to work on my deck, just have two weeks left."

"E-eh what about you, Emomon? If I win, you get a katana!"

"Already got one and I need to rethink some strategies."

'You play Waterfall, the only strategy you need is to have a Grade 3 in soul and sack your way to victory... Wait, you have a katana? Oh rip one of the best nicknames I ever created.' Hikaru thought. "Ryuuga, be a G and cardfight me!"

"I-i need t-to think a-about some new c-cards for the deck..."

"B-but..." 'We've been a team for not that long and they already became super focused on being ready for the regionals....' Hikaru sighed and started walking towards the Hage's exist door. "Call me once you are done with your training arc. I'm gonna do what I do best and goof around the city because I'm Hikaru."

"T-training a-arc...?" Ryuuga rubbe his chin while looking at a card. "T-that's it!"

"T-that's it!"

"T-that's it!"

"It's what? You mean the card you're looking at?"

"N-not that, E-emon. T-this card is actually g-garbage. I-i mean what Hikaru s-said. T-training a-arc."

Fujiko a brow. "Context. I need context. Like, tons of it."

"T-training a-arc. A-an arc where a certain g-group of people train f-for something, i-individually o-or together. I-i don't think t-that we'll be able to improve if w-we stay here and just change some cards. W-we need to cardfight other people, n-not each other."

"Basically, we should go train individually or else we won't be prepared for all the different players at the regionals. I get what he means. I just don't believe he got the idea from one of Hikaru's many dumb phrases."

"I guess it could work. I doubt that everyone in the regionals will use the same Kagero deck as Emon, Spike Brothers as Ryuuga or even Oracle Think Tank as me."
