Tracy scratched her cheek nervously. Raikiri had a card stolen, and had been knocked unconscious? That sounded... well, that sounded scarily similar to what had happened to her. Were their other victims like her?
"I'm... I'm sorry to hear that." Tracy said. "Uh... to be honest, things have been a little rough for me too."
Tracy paused. She didn't really want to get into the fact her deck had been stolen...
"Classes have been a little rough for me lately, to be honest. I've been on the edge of falling into Slifer Red ever since I started here." Tracy said. "Pair that with what's happened lately... and I might end up going down a dorm soon. But it's not been all bad. I've made a few good friends since I got here. Although there's quite a few jerks that go to this school, there's a lot of good people as well."

Lance watched the duel, noting the various monsters that were being summoned. Those Masked Heroes were very powerful, and it was uncommon to see a group of monsters that would be able to counter his own deck so well. Masked Hero Acid acting as a Harpy's Feather Duster, Masked Hero Vapor unable to be destroyed by effect, Masked Hero Blast being able to remove spells and traps... it would be enough to give himself a run for his money, to be certain.
Lance applauded politely as the duel came to a close, approaching the pair.
"Well, that was a rather exciting duel." Lance said, adjusting his glasses. "Weasel, well done with maintaining card advantage. It was very impressive how you were able to swarm the field so quickly and use your cards in play to your advantage. Bella, congratulations on the win. Your quick thinking and determination under pressure helped you pull through."
Lance turned his attention back to Weasel.
"Congratulations on your sudden rise to Blue, by the way. That's got to be the quickest I've ever seen, but it's definitely deserving of a duelist of your skill." Lance said to Weasel.

"Wow, you've really been thinking about this, huh?" Jira said. The Slifer Red returned Willow's grin. "Oh yeah, you bet I'm gonna be gunning for that throne. You may have beat my Kaiju once, but you should know by now that there's a sequel in the works. One with an even bigger and badder monster!"
Jira's smile showed off his pointed teeth, and for a moment Jira was fully playing the role of the rival duelist. But the energy quickly went out of him.
"That sounds like a lot of fun, let me know if there's anything I could do to help. Tobias would probably be interested in it to, he's a pretty big history nerd." Jira said.
The pair continued on their way to the Ra Yellow dorm.
