Before Tsukiko could answer him he told her that he needed to do something when he watched Ethel leave. She saw her brother walk in Ethel's direction as she would still remain around so she could pick up her two new cards. She also noticed posters of new cards that had just been recently released as she was waiting for her turn to get cards. She looked at one of the posters which featured a dragon engulfed in flames and behind it was total destruction of the world it look like it lived in. The card read Final Apocalypse Dragon though it was mainly for those who ran machine decks though it did look like an interesting card. She also noticed a new Fusion monster came out which she could actually use. It said Chrysantheum, The Spell Breaker Dragon which used two cards she had in her deck as fusion material monsters. She wanted that fusion card as it would strengthen her deck giving her more options, but she had already reserved to The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion cards that numbered two.
She asked the person at the desk to give the two cards she had already purchased where she grabbed them from their hand and began examining them closely. She read the wording on the cards closely though there was a part about Contact Fusion that she couldn't understand. She wondered if her brother knew anything about Contact Fusion since she wanted to learn more about this ability. Surely she knew that Shiyura probably knew how to use Contact Fusion which would put her at major odds against him since she had no knowledge of the ability. She took her two cards she still had in her hand and decided to find a table where she could be alone while she arranged her deck. These two new cards were ones her brother told her about and she would also have to not forget to thank her brother for trading her his Overload Fusion, because it really gave her a boost in her last duel with Vincent despite her not winning it.
She set her two cards down on the table as she took her deck out of its holder on her Duel Disk and fanned out her cards. The three Void Dragons she felt she could sense something faint from, but she thought it was her imagination. She remembered that last duel she wasn't entirely herself where she was icy which is not something that usually fit her character. Sure she thought it was pleasant at the thought of others hurting, but she wouldn't inflict that harm on them herself. She found it a total waste of time since there were other things she could be doing rather than pushing around people who were beneath her. She glanced over in Vincent's direction for a second thinking about everyone saying how good Vincent was and some of the students not happy that he is so good. Some thought he rigged his deck to win which was a rumor she heard the other day, but she dismissed it since there was no evidence that this was true. Sure at the time she didn't like Vincent and hated him with a passion, because of how much she thought he represented the thought of her father but she wasn't about to defame someone with conspiracy theories. "I suppose Vincent is as good as I heard he was. He did play well but I don't think he knows that Void Twin Dragon is not my best card." She whispered at herself as she froze in thought as she was reminded of how the card hijacked her mind for a moment changing the way Vincent was suppose to perceive her. She grabbed her locket which helped her like a dream catcher remove those nasty thoughts that she didn't want to think about which made her instantly think about her mother. She wondered if her mother would have played that any differently or even her brother? She didn't know anything about her mother's dueling style and her brother was always unpredictable about what he would. Sometimes he would make some of the most brazen moves which would make most amateurs lose the duel if they tried them.
She remembered he told her before they parted ways that Vincent's greatest weakness in his deck is that it relies too much on the graveyard. She wondered what he meant by that since she didn't get to see him play any cards that used the graveyard. That was most likely because she was sleeping beauty on the floor. "That meant..." She stopped herself as she tried to say the rest of the statement only to be stopped by the thought that it was Vincent who carried her to the infirmary. As she kept that thought in mind she decided to think to herself for a moment. I still don't know. He's shown he's worthy of my trust, but there something about him that still bothers me. Maybe if I allow him to get to know me better I might be able to understand him better. He's certainly more trustworthy than that boy from yesterday who wouldn't stop harassing me, that's for sure.
Tsukiko hoped that everyone would just leave her alone while she worked on making proper adjustments to her deck. She was still a bit out of and not fully recovered though she didn't let that stop her from making herself stronger. It was true that she wanted to do anything to make herself stronger, but she really wondered if Overdrive Mode as they called it when she was under the influence of her card if that would come back to haunt her one day. She hated to think that getting stronger might possess her to attack someone she had close relations with which is why if she had no friends it would be a major burden off her shoulders. She picked up one of her Void Dragon cards and began to examine it as it lightly glowed in her hand responding to her. "You brought fortune and glory to my brother. I hope you will smile the same treasure upon me as we become more closely linked together through our bond." She said quietly to herself though a few students looked at her wanting to know why she was talking to her card. Also it was very suspicious to be continually staring at a card like it was a stare down contest. Tsukiko ignored the unusual staring from some of the students as she continued to work on her deck.
