Shinrei didn't seem to have to wait long before his taunts were answered, a confident smirk forming on their face. Brad was going off on how the silver haired boy's attitude wasn't spectacular either, something Shinrei didn't seem to care much about. They were also going on about a team player respecting his friends and allies, something that would've made the guy laugh if they knew how to do that. [b]"I said I was alone, didn't I? That doesn't quite qualify as being a team player in my book."[/b] he retorted, brushing off Brad's patronizing like it was nothing. Though he may have gone too far, as even his sister berated him for that little move. Shinrei's face tensed up a little, but he didn't get much of a chance to reply before they leaned in to tell him something. [b]"...*sigh*, Yeah, I know. You don't have to tell me twice..."[/b] he muttered, knowing what she was hinting to. Honestly, he couldn't care less about holding back against weaklings like these. That didn't change the fact his little sister was here, though, and that's just about the only thing Shinrei [i]did[/i] care about right now.

Vincent soon joined Brad, and Shinrei honestly had to do a double-take when he saw the duo. He'd completely forgotten what dorm Vincent was in, but it seemed to have been Wind considering the boy himself indirectly stated so. [b]"Well, I accept. I guess when you combine an Earth and a Wind you would be scraping the bottom of the barrel for the Light dorm."[/b] Shinrei hurled at the duo, then turned away from them, to the first arena. It seemed the first match went to him, just as he wanted. "Just follow me, then." he goaded them before walking off. His attitude was completely disrespectful to the two as he hardly bothered to look at them, and the rude undertones in Shinrei's voice didn't help the matter. It didn't take long for the guy to take his position on one end of an arena either, with crossed arms as he waited for his two opponents to arrive.[hr]Ethel was glad Ignia took some sort of initiative herself. This way, the girl wouldn't have to lead the conversation, which as one might guess wasn't her forte. Ignia brought up the good point of having to device some form of strategy. The girl with blue hair started thinking. Ignia, from what she'd seen anyway, had a good amount of Level 4's... And Ethel's Extra deck contained at least two Rank 4's. But that alone wouldn't be enough. And her deck was self-sustaining enough as it is. [color=7ea7d8]"...You take the offensive."[/color] Ethel suggested. It might sound stupid, but she was pretty sure this was a good option. [color=7ea7d8]"My deck works best when monsters are already on the field."[/color] she explained the plan, before looking around the room. Ignia didn't seem like she was going to take the initiative on finding opponents.

Soon enough, the girl's eyes landed on a particular Light dorm student, chatting it up with a girl from Wind. [color=7ea7d8]"How about them?"[/color] she asked Ignia, whilst pointing in the general direction of Andre and Maisy. They had the same combination in terms of dorms, so there wouldn't be much of an unfair matchup. [color=7ea7d8]"I'll go first."[/color] Ethel declared, turning her back to Ignia and walking off before she even had a chance to throw in a vote of 'Yay' or 'Nay'. Considering the size of the room it didn't take more than a minute of walking for Ethel to stand in front of the other pair. [color=7ea7d8]"Hello."[/color] she greeted neutrally, with a hint of boredom. [color=7ea7d8]"Do you wish to be our partners for dueling?"[/color] was Ethel's question to those two, getting to the point instantly. They assumed Ignia had tailed, like she usually does, so it wouldn't look awkward if the girl said 'They' when only one person stood there.[hr]Haas listened attentively to Nathan introducing both the girls, and almost snickered at some of the stupid thoughts that came to mind. The both of them seemed like they'd be fun opponents, with how full of energy they both were. Speaking of opponents, as if on cue, Nathan had picked up on two parties already being here and suggested a duel among them. [color=aba000][b]"...Okay, yeah, I'm totally down for that!"[/b][/color] Haas replied when the two girls had also voted in favor of the idea. But he could've sworn one of those two had asked about where to duel... [color=aba000][b]"Aren't we on an Arena floor? We could just take one of the arenas."[/b][/color] Haas chimed in. Every arena floor has 4, after all, and the only reason only two were available on the first day was because of easier management. Either way, it was up to the others to decide in the end.[hr]
Shiyu was awkwardly fidgeting on the spot for a little while, considering for the longest time nobody really responded. But then some veiled girl spoke up from his left side and the boy instinctively turned his head so their eyes met. Or... His one eye with one of hers, at least. She introduced herself as Tsukiko, much to Shiyu's visible relief. [color=c7c7c7][b]"Ah, so you're my partner? I'm glad, I was getting a litle worried there aha..."[/b][/color] Shiyu commented, but then realized that may have come out wrong. [color=c7c7c7][b]"E-Err! Worried that I wasn't going to be able to find you, that is!"[/b][/color] he quickly corrected himself, then bowed in apology. But that little charade didn't last too much longer past that point, with two new faces coming into the boy's field of view. An excitable little boy was the first of those figures, seemingly a Light dorm of all things, and was quick to challenge the pair to a duel. Not that Shiyu had much time to respond, with Tsukiko stepping up and accepting the challenge for him. [color=c7c7c7][b]"W-Wait, hold on a moment..."[/b][/color] Shiyu attempted to plead, but that was cut short by Amelia entering.

The girl was obviously nervous and shy, as evidenced by the shaky voice and posture. Aw, c'mon, you can't deny a person like that to their face! That's not how a true gentlemen operates, anyway. [color=c7c7c7][b]"...Ah, alright! You two wanted to duel us, right? I don't think erm... Tsukiko has any problems with it, so then neither do I! We should probably claim an arena before the rest does, though..."[/b][/color] Shiyu advised, looking over the shoulder. One of the arenas seemed to have been stolen by that silver-haired boy from earlier that was boasting... Sheesh, how scary! But there were still a few left. [color=c7c7c7][b]"Oh uh... I'm also, Shiyu, by the way. For those that didn't catch that."[/b][/color] Shiyu commented, with the introduction being more offhand than not.
