"AND THE WINNER OF THIS ROUND IS RYUUGA SAWADA, KING OF HEIWA ACADEMY'S ROYALTY! THEY BOTH GAVE THEIR ALL, AND IN A BATTLE OF BOTH WIT AND STRENGTH, ONLY ONE CAME OUT ON TOP!" Ryuzaki announced.

When the grey dome dispersed, Ryuuga and Homura had already taken off their headsets and attached their deckcases in their belt and sash respectively. The two smiled and walked up to the center of the field, shaking each other's hand.

"Thank you for the fight, Ryuuga." Homura said.

Ryuuga nodded. "I hope you found what you were looking for."

"The world is a vast place, giving up just because fighting people of one very small area became boring wouldn't be a very Homura-thing to do."

"I hear you."

"AND THAT CONCLUDES THE FIRST ROUND OF THE TOKYO'S FINEST! IN FIFTEEN MINUTES, THE FINALS WILL- W-WHAT IS THIS?!"

The lights of the stadium shifted to focus on Tenma, who started walking out of the north entrance and towards the center circle. He grabbed his face mask and took it off, tossing it to the side to reveal a smile.

Homura looked at Ryuuga and smirked, playfully punching his shoulder. "Go get 'em." With that, she started heading towards the east entrance.

"You couldn't wait for it, could you do?" Ryuuga asked, taking some steps back until he reached the spot where he was during the fight.

"I can wait for many things, but for our fight, I can't. You're someone who fights for fun like me. I simply can't wait to fight against you. I can't wait for a fight like this."

"In all honesty... So can't I. Let's fight, Tenma!"

The two shared a smirk as they placed their hands on their deckcases.

"J-just wait a moment!" Ryuzaki exclaimed, gaining the attention of the two teenagers

"J-just wait a moment!" Ryuzaki exclaimed, gaining the attention of the two teenagers. He let out a sight as he rubbed the back of his head. "Before you two start your fight way ahead of time, let me just check a thing." The platform started heading up, towards the control room in the ceiling. Upon entering it, Ryuzaki rushed to Inu's side. "Hey Iku, fat question."

"Let me guess, you want to know if the system will overheat and shut off midway through their fight if the fight starts before the RIVS has it's fifteen minutes of cooldown?" Inu asked.

"Basically."

Inu sighed. "Using the RIVS too much can cause it to overheat and shut off on it's own, we tested that. Can they finish the fight before the sysetm ovearheats?"

"I can't say for sure." Ryuzaki answered. "You're the head engineer of the RIVS, and I'm the creator, we should be able to calculate until what part of the game they can fight up to. Second grade 3 turn?"

"I can't say for sure." Inu shook his head.

"Will the audience be mad if we make them wait the fifteen minutes? You know, the same fifteen minutes the waited between Tenma and Taira's fight and Ryuuga and Homura's fight." Mina said.
