Synopsis: This is where we get a brief introduction to Kei Jigunji. Proudly known as the Ace of the Perfection as he can handles any deck with ease. Is there any end to his limits?
In Helping Hands Academy, a student wearing a white formal suit with a red tie with a small clock attached to his left chest is looking out the window. He stands with pride with his hands behind him.
His office is full of various achievements such as tournament medals, pictures. In summary, it's very grand like you're in a king's throne room. Everything is so shiny and clean.
???: (Narrates Offscreen) My name is Kei Jigunji. I'm the student council president of Helping Hands Academy. You can tell by my formal attire so to speak but let's just say I am the noble heir of one the wealthiest families there is.
Student: (Comes in) Sir. They are waiting for your approval.
Kei: That so?
Student: (Hands a form) Here. All you need to do is double check everything and sign on it.
Kei: Very well.
Kei turns around sits on his chair and reads the form thoroughly. He continues to narrate offscreen.
Kei: In this very environment, everything has to be done perfect. No mistakes. Not even a small one. Well, for me at least. Why do I say so? It's simple. I'm proudly known as the "Ace of Perfection".
Kei then signs on the form with his pen with a smile on his face. He hands back the form to the student, which he takes it.
Kei: Time is Money. Our future awaits. Give them the A-Okay.
Student: Right away sir. (Walks away)
Kei looks at the window again, staring at the bright blue sky. As the camera moves back...
Kei: (sigh) No time like the present. Soon, what I have in the past...shall now be brought to the future.
OP: Undead
At one of the school hallways, three male 5th graders are running like crazy. One who is wearing glasses is chasing another student's who raspberrying and holding a wallet.
Student #2: Hey. Give Me Back My Wallet!!!
Student #3: {Cheeky} What are you gonna do, four eyes?
The students keep running until they suddenly came to a halt as they notice who's in front of them in shock. Kei stares at them with a serious expression. Everyone stares at him with slight bit of fear and worry.
Student #3: Dah....President Jinguji....Sir.
Kei: Why are you lot running? You do know you're not allowed to run in the hallways.
Student #2: Those guys stole my wallet, sir. I was trying to get it back sir.
Kei: Is that so?
Student #3: NO He's Lying. That's My Wallet.
Student #4: (Defends Him) Yeah, what he said.
Kei: Calm Down. When was the wallet stolen?
Student #2: When I was putting my things away into my locker & then they came and snatch my wallet from my pocket.
Student #3: He's Lying. Look, the wallet has my student ID on it. (Shows it)
Kei: Hmm...As much as I want to jump to conclusions, I think we'll let the security cameras do the talking.
Suddenly, 3 & 4 are panicking as they are about to be caught...
Student #3: Uh...We don't need to do that sir...
Student #4: Yeah...we don't...
Kei's eyes are suddenly covered in shadow, but only a little. His tone becomes darker & menacing...
Kei: Then why are you two suddenly panicking? I can tell by your tone then you're nervous.
Student #3: We...
Kei: Tell me the truth right now. Or Else.
Student #3: Erm....(Gives in) Okay Fine. We stole his wallet for fun. We replaced his ID with mine. Please forgive us, Sir. We just want to prank him.
Kei: I don't care what your reason is. It doesn't excuse the fact that you still stole his wallet.
Kei snatches the wallet and confiscates the ID and hands back the wallet.
Kei: Here.
Student #2: (Takes it) Thank you.
Kei: As for you two, I'm going to report this to your homeroom teacher. It's Mr Lacquer correct?
Student #3: Uh...
Kei: (smirks) Bullseye. That being said, I'm confiscating your ID. You can get it back from me after school in my office. Are we clear?
Student #3 & #4: (Bows in shame) Yes Sir...
Kei: Good. Now go. It's almost Class Time.
The three students ran off. And Kei sighs and walks away. Offscreen, he says "Like I said, No Mistakes". A few minutes later, Kei is doing a routine spot check in the hallways. As he walks, he's like a calm dashing prince. His arms are placed behind him. His charm remains confident.
Kei: Hmmm...Nothing out of the ordinary I see.
He then walks past a class and notices that the students inside are just having fun. The noise is slightly loud. Some are jumping around. Some are chit chatting. He's quite surprised before walking in.
Kei: What's going on?
The students gasp.
Female Student: President Jinguji!!!
Kei: Sorry to interrupt. But Where's your teacher? Where's your class monitor?
Female Student: (Raises her hand in shy) It's Me. She reported in sick today and therefore we're having free period.
Kei: I see. I understand you guys are happy but please keep your volume down. The classes beside next doors are trying to focus. Be Considerate. (To the monitor) And you, you should've keep them all in check. I'm not angry but this is not a good example you're showing.
All students: (Bows in shame) Sorry Sir...
Kei responds with a "Hmmm" before noticing that there are two students are buddyfighting with cards laid across their table. He finds it curious and smiles and walks forward.
Kei: You having a buddyfight?
Student #5: Yes Sir...but I keep losing and he keeps winning. (Sigh) It's all the decks fault. I can't use my cards at all. And I can't even draw the cards I need.
Kei: I see...May I have a look at your deck? Perhaps, I can figure out why.
Student #5: Sure.
Kei looks at the Student's Deck One By One. Bit By Bit, he reads through every cards for like 2 to 3 minutes. He then looks at the owner with a calm smile.
Kei: It's not the deck actually. It's you alone.
Student #5: Huh?
Kei: Your deck is quite balanced. But Like you said, you're unable to use them. Why? It's because you did not utilize them properly. I believe you need to work on your playstyle.
Student #5: Then what about the other part?
Kei: That would be because of your luck & skill. Sometimes, you can draw the cards you need. It happens usually as you never know what's gonna happen in a fight.
Student #5: I...
Kei: Don't worry. I'll show you how it's done. Mind if I borrow?
Student #5: Uh Sure...
Hearing this, the rest of the students gather around them in curiosity. Everyone is whispering "the President's gonna fight?" , "Are the Rumors True?" , "Is the Ace of Perfection really the Ace of Perfection". Tons of their words are spreading like wildfire.
Kei: Settle Down, All of you. Consider this a special buddyfight lesson for today. So pay attention everyone.
All: Yes Sir.
Both players already set their cards. And thus the fight begins.
Both: Time to raise the flag.
Student #6: I fight for Legend World.
Kei: And I'm with Dungeon World. Is it okay I take the first turn?
Student #6: Yeah Sure.
Kei: Draw. Charge & Draw. I call Ice-blooded Emperor, Van Glacier to the center. (Does So) Attack the fighter.
Student's Life: 10 -> 7
Kei: My turn is over.
Student #6: Draw. Charge & Draw. I equip Famous Sword, Hrunting. (Does So) Carved Stallion of Dreams, Dalahast to the left. (Calls) With Dalahast's effect, I send three cards to the drop. And I call Hazel Emperor Jailer, Alking to the right. Once Again, three cards to the dropzone.
Female Student: The triple offensive maneuver. Cool.
Student #6: I'll send Dalahas & Alking on a link attack on Van Glacier.
Van Glacier is hit but...
Kei: Van Glacier's effect. By discarding two cards from my hand, He stays on the field. And 1 damage to you.
Student's Life: 7 -> 6
Student #7: Woah, he dealt damage during the opponent's turn.
Kei: You should have link attacked with Hrunting as well. Van Glacier has 6000 defense. Hrunting has 1000 power. It's not enough so to speak.
Student #6: I'm aware. And that's why I'm going to case Heroic Surge to increase it's power by 6000.
Student #5: Hrunting now has 7000 power. And thus...
Hrunting strikes at Van Glacier again.
Kei: Meh, it's a shame. But thanks to that, I survived. And you have no attacks left.
Student #6: Aww man, I can't attack further. My turn is over.
Students are shocked and started whispering that Kei didn't take a single damage this turn.
Student #7: Incredible...not a single scratch...
Student #8: And it's only his first time using his deck.
Kei: That's because before I fought, I analyzed the deck itself. And after that, I prepare and use an ability that applies for good defense. (To his opponent) As for you, you should have considered reading my card before launching simple attacks.
Student #6: I should have estimated earlier too...
Kei: Exactly. In buddyfight, Sometimes You can't just simply rush to attack. You have to sometimes consider what the opponent would do before making your move.
Students: Okay!!!
Kei: Right. It's my turn. Draw. Charge & Draw. I cast. Reset Button.
Kei's Gauge: 4
Kei: Now I cast. (Pays 2 gauge) Cecelia Spell Disarm. I destroy Hrunting.
Student #6: What?
Hrunting is out.
Kei: And I set Mission Card "Looking for Group!". With it's ability, you're gonna play rock paper scissors with me.
Student #6: Wha?
Kei: Rock...Paper...(Shoots Rock) Scissors.
Student #6: (Shoots Scissors) Uh Oh...
Kei: Great. Since I won, I get to call one monster from my dropzone. Ocker Glazer "Arriver" to the left.
Size 1, 6000 power, 1000 defense, critical of 2.
Kei: When Arriver is placed on the field, if there's another dungeon enemy or an adventurer on the field, I draw a card. And since there's a size 3 on the field, it's size is reduced to 0. I call Fate skeleton "Doom" to the right.
Size 0, 5000 power, 1000 defense, critical of 2.
Student #5: Oh wow. He's able to draw the cards he need thanks to sheer luck.
Kei: Luck is something you grasp when you choose not to give up. And I'm not the type to give up do I? With Doom's effect, since there's a Dungeon Enemy on the field, the opponent must discard a card from their hand.
The opponent reluctantly discards.
Kei: And now I cast. "Dungeon Party: Charge Attack". By paying 2 gauge & discard 1 card from my hand, my cards for this turn gain double attack.
Students: WHA????
Student #6: [I can't defend them all.]
Kei: Given that you have limited options, It's Over For you. I'm sending Arriver & Doom to attack you. (Launch two attacks one by one) There.
The student reacts in shock as all of the attack lands. He reacts in a completely petrified state.
Student #6: I ...lost...
Female Student: Game End. Winner. President Jigunji.
The students begin to cheer. The dungeon world student is quite surprised.
Student #5: So it's true. He can handle any deck with ease. He really is the Ace of Perfection.
Kei: (Stands Up). So tell me students, what have you learned today?
Student #7: Oh Oh. We need to analyze the situation & estimate what the opponent would do.
Kei: Correct. And?
Student #8: Luck isn't everything. It's important to prepare beforehand as well.
Kei: Indeed. Anything else?
Student #5: I shouldn't blame on the cards. I need to utilize them properly like you said.
Kei: Yes. Don't blame the cards just because you're at a disadvantage. That being said, young man. Bonus lesson: Add Draw spells to the deck to increase your chances.
Student #5: Yes Sir.
Kei: Good. Alright, I'm afraid my time is up. (Hands back the deck) Here's your deck back. Behave & Focus on your studies everyone.
Students: Yes Sir.
Kei then leaves the classroom and walks in the hallways. As he walks, he wonders one thing in his mind. His expression remains in smiles
Kei: [Buddyfight Huh...I wonder why such a mysterious game existed...Then Again ] (sigh)
But Then Kei Suddenly clenches His Fists Tight...He suddenly grabs a hold of each while maintaining himself.
Kei: [Like I said...Perfection...And I would say things...are about to get interesting.]
He walks towards his office where he reviews some papers on his table. One of the Papers Reveal Hou & Garga's picture in it. Basically, it's an info document with all of their necessary credentials such as name, Age, skill, history and etc. He lets out a smirk with his teeth letting out a shine.
Kei: And I'm sure they're gonna make my dream come true.
