[Set following the events of duelisland.]

[hyperhero]

[Judai's reply to that is derailed when he sees the duel disk, taking it excitedly and starting to prod at it.]

Cool! So this is the type you guys use.

[This thing's a phone, too. Awesome.]

Are there red ones, like mine?

[He holds up his arm, realizes the duel disk isn't there, then just keeps it up for the jacket's color.]

[scissorbear]

[She pauses, cocking her head slightly to look him over.]

There are. Would you prefer that?

[She really wasn't expecting him to be this invested. Even her actual students usually aren't this excited.]

[hyperhero]

Of course! Red's my color.

[He's like some sort of excitable three year old given a noisemaker toy or something.]

[scissorbear]

[...he's almost kind of cute. Ah, well. She plucks the duel disk out of his hand, walking over to a box set out on the table, and takes one out that's still sealed in the packet. It's not quite the same red, but it's definitely intensely red. Cutting the packet open, she powers it up and quickly starts to input the start-up details.]

Come over here please, Yuki. And hold out your arm.

[hyperhero]

Alright!

[He's over in a flash, eagerly offering his arm and watching what she's doing surprisingly intently. It's the kind of look Sora's only really seen when he's watching duels -- the sign he's paying rapt attention, trying to pick out every detail.]

[scissorbear]

[She sets the startup scan going over his arm, tapping the button to stop it once it's done.]

There. Now it'll automatically recognize your arm and strap on when held over. To remove it, you just press this button on the side, but remember to keep hold of it when you do, or else it'll just fall.

[hyperhero]

Got it.

[He'll just let it strap itself on, then, and start fiddling with it eagerly. Not that it can do much without a deck, but the start-up stuff is easy enough to do without direction. Perhaps shockingly, considering his normal stupidity.

The projected energy ends up being surprisingly... green?]

[scissorbear]

...why would you make it green if you like red so much?

[Sora watches him wit interest. He's picking it up fast...]

[hyperhero]

Because this way, it's like Burst Lady and Featherman. Or Flame Wingman.

[Yep, that's the only reason. Though Judai curiously pokes the solid energy, making an almost cutely fascinated noise. This is cool!]

[scissorbear]

Ah, you favor the Elemental Heroes? Quite a unique choice.

[The teacher watches him with amusement hidden behind her glasses. Honestly, he's like a child...]

[hyperhero]

You bet! They've been my friends since I was a little kid, and Burst Lady and Featherman are right there with Winged Kuriboh as my best partners! Though Winged Kuriboh's out more, they still talk a lot to me without me having to talk first.

[scissorbear]

...right.

[This kid is clearly insane.]

Well, for the moment, you're going to have to get by without them... I've yet to hear what's going on in regards to your cards. I'm sure you can borrow Shiun'in's cards to test out your duel disk with.

[hyperhero]

I guess... [He'll just have to ask.] Hey, Sora. Can I see 'em?

[scissorbear]

Sure.

[He takes his deck out, offering it to Judai. He's entirely unhesitent now. Was he just worried his monsters would tell Judai about Academia?]

[hyperhero]

[Maybe. Either way, Judai takes the deck, glancing at it. Weird... he gets kind of a weird feeling from it. Is it just because they belong here?]

What do you guys think?

[He's not sure if the dolls can answer physically, but the feeling they give will be close enough.]

[scissorbear]

[The overwhelming feeling from them is agreement. They're fond of their master, pretty much one with him, and if Sora handed them to this guy, who has made him feel happy, then they will work their best.]

You, uh, don't need to ask the cards for permission.

[hyperhero]

No, but I want to. I don't like using monsters if they don't want me to, especially not if they're partners with someone else! They don't mind, though.

[Let's see, where... ah, here's where the deck goes.]

Alright! Ready!

[scissorbear]

...they are just cards, dear boy.

[She shakes her head.]

Shiun'in tells me you were using an outdated model before. But the first thing I should warn you is this. Unlike in Standard, our duel disks can summon the monsters in a more solid form. If you aren't careful of your setting, you could hurt your opponent, so remember to check that it's on 'play' mode before you activate it.

[hyperhero]

Nah. The cards are just cards, but the actual duel monsters are real. Most people just can't hear them.

[Judai plucks one of the cards from the deck, holding it up for her to see.]

Watch.

[It just takes a little bit of magic to reach out to it... and then Furnimal Rabbit appears, plopping on Judai's head with a cute little noise and smiling up at her. The duel disk itself is still inactive, if on, so there's no way of it being that generating it.]

See? Real!

[scissorbear]

That is-?!

[She takes a step back in shock, glancing around to make sure nobody else's duel disk is active too, before hesitantly reaching out to touch the small creature.]

[hyperhero]

[It's fluffy and completely solid, but more than just that. Even though it's a doll, there's a warmth of sorts to it, the kind of trace of life that no hologram could ever possess. Rabbit itself makes another little noise, lifting its head up into her hand like an affectionate pet.]

Like I said... most people think they're just cards. But I've been able to hear their voices since I was really young, so I know they're more than that.

[scissorbear]

[Ah... then this was the reason for his recruitment. She pets the rabbit lightly and affectionately, a gentle smile on her face. How wonderful... that warmth was something even solid vision with mass couldn't possibly create.]

Wonderful, Judai! Not many people could manifest a duel spirit!

[hyperhero]

Not really! I'm the only one I know, actually... Though Johan could talk to his too, he didn't have any way of doing this.

[scissorbear]

You should learn to take a compliment... and while I remember, do try to speak a little more politely in future. We are professors, not old ladies you've met on the street.

[She chides him a little.]

[hyperhero]

I meant not really as in not many people can do it.

[The chiding surprises him, and he blinks a little.]

Uh! Alright, Fujioka-san.

[That's gonna be weird to get used to, but it's probably the easiest thing they could ask.]
