Interview with a Pro Player
You Can Go Pro, Too!
...a member of the wealthy Zaizenji family, and also a pro Shadowverse player. She answered all our questions with an air of complete confidence, showing not the slightest bit of weakness.
However, she has the talent to back up her talk. During her battles, she has the ability to seize the initiative and force the enemy to constantly react to what she's doing...
... which can make for uninteresting games.
In any event, going forward she will...
Dang. I hurt my leg on the staircase!
I saw. You need to get some more exercise.
There you are.
We've been looking for you.
You keep running off, Tsubasa.
Sorry.
I was just spacing out.
You get sick, 'cause you don't eat or drink anything but vegetable juice.
You need some more calories.
Tsubasa, you're too thin.
Put on some weight.
I don't get hungry.
I wish I could say that.
So what do we do today?
Karaoke?
Or get crêpes?
What about Shadowverse?
Practice, you mean?
I'd love to, if we could.
But if we stand out, Haruma will just...
Yeah. It's not worth it.
Totally.
I'll go grab my bag.
You two go on ahead.
Roger.
See you at the school gate.
Don't make us wait.
Wingy...
I'm not depressed. I'm fine.
Episode 10
There's No Point in Getting Serious
There's no point in getting serious.
Get 'em!
Go!
Let's have another battle!
That's really bad.
But I don't want to get involved.
Should we go get a teacher?
Why do you play Shadowverse if you're so weak?
I don't get it.
This is it!
Deathscythe Hound!
So weak...
You're so, so weak...
Just quit playing Shadowverse.
I apologize. I apologize, so...
I don't need your apologies.
I said, "quit."
If you can't quit, then I'll make you—
That's enough.
Enough already.
Third Feather's club president...
What do you want?
Nothing.
I'm just stopping you. That's all.
Why do you feel the need to stop me?
If you're weak, your dreams will never come true.
That's why I'm showing them how the real world works.
What's so fun about that?
Because of you, everyone...
It's not about having fun, moron.
If you get on your high horse just because everyone likes you, I'll crush you...
the way I did last time.
Rip her apart!
Deathscythe Hound!
You're finished.
Forever!
Seira!
Pathetic.
You call yourself a club president, and you're that weak?
Don't make me laugh.
Just figure it out already.
It doesn't matter how hard you work if you have no talent.
Give up. Okay?
There's no point in working hard.
If you tell me you'll give up, I'll let Third Feather stay around.
'Cause I'm a nice guy!
Now, what will you do, club president?
You're annoying.
That's my line.
Hurry it up, Haruma!
Get over here!
I'm on my way.
Just stay in your place, Tsubasa.
What were you doing over there?
You kept us waiting.
Right, right. Fine.
Haruma! Let's go.
Can you stand?
Thank you.
Why did you pick a fight with Haruma?
I didn't.
I was just talking in the hallway and saying I wanted to improve my rank.
And then...
I see.
He's really annoying, but really strong.
So you might want to stay away from him.
Bye.
Can't...
Can't somebody stop him?
Probably not.
Hey, there.
You took way too long.
What were you doing?
Haruma.
He's out there beating up weaker players again?
It's best just to ignore him.
You should watch out, too, Tsubasa.
Yeah, I know.
Did you hear about Seventh Flame?
Yeah, they've been up to something lately.
Yup. Supposedly they beat the club presidents of Fifth Sword and Fourth Wind.
They keep picking fights with club presidents and stealing their members.
Scary.
Even if they do get enough members, Haruma will just crush them anyway.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
There'll be a line at the crêpe place. Let's go.
Every day is fun.
I hang out with my friends and laugh...
I've got no complaints.
I don't know what to do...
I see myself in your eyes.
This is enough.
Can I still be who I am?
I tell myself it's enough.
Because...
I'm sure...
I lost again!
Mami, you've lost three times in a row.
Seira, you're too strong!
Yup! But you did pretty good. I'm impressed.
You're so nice.
A true goddess!
Anyway, Mami, you don't have enough Ward cards.
You need protection!
Oh, I get it!
Can I play you next, Seira?
Oui, oui!
Yay!
Hooray!
Your turn, Tsubasa.
In my dreams, I remember its sparkle...
Tomorrow's going to be fun, too...
I just...
And our time will keep going on forever...
have to give up.
Tsubasa Takanashi & Gemstone Wingy
Class: Havencraft Birthday: 10/1 Likes: Karaoke
Gemstone Wingy
Bye!
See you tomorrow!
You were a huge help today, Subaru!
Thank you!
No, I didn't—
Just make sure you don't run into any thugs on the way home.
Okay!
Okay, I'll be going!
Bye!
Make sure you get under the covers when you sleep!
It's Wingy!
You're always so cute.
Are you on your way home, Tsubasa?
Don't be so friendly to me.
Why?
What about you? Are you and him in a relationship?
"Relationship"?
No. Forget it.
Want to go home together?
If your house is the same way as mine.
Whatever.
You've been close with them lately.
Huh?
Seventh Flame.
Oh, you mean Subaru?
He helps me out sometimes.
I heard they're stealing members from other clubs.
Are they?
They haven't stolen anybody from ours.
Recruiting for a club that was almost destroyed seems pointless.
I don't think that's true!
Watching Subaru has my kids all fired up!
I think Seventh Flame is a great club!
Why bother, though?
Haruma will just crush them.
Haruma doesn't listen, no matter how many times I ask.
Of course not.
So you just have to ignore him.
And if you don't make waves, he won't hurt you.
Yet they're standing out... like morons.
Bye. My house is this way.
Subaru...
Subaru's not a moron.
He's thinking about a lot of stuff. He's suffering...
But he's trying his best to move forward.
I think that's great!
What are you talking about?
Maybe Seventh Flame can change Haruma!
Whatever.
Bye!
Yeah.
I'm fine. I'm not in a bad mood.
Anyway, don't go running off your own.
Yeah, she's cute, but...
Shadowverse Pro League Heats Up
This is your chance to be a world-famous Shadowverse player!
They're stupid.
Getting serious will just get you hurt again.
Tsubasa! Dinner!
Don't treat me like a kid!
I'm coming.
Shadowverse Pro League Heats Up
This is your chance to be a world-famous Shadowverse player!
Good morning!
Shadowverse is all about endurance!
Morning, Takanashi.
Why do you look so down?
You're loud.
Yup! 'Cause it's morning!
Normal people aren't that loud in the morning.
That's no good!
Morning's the most important part of the day.
So why don't we go for a run?
Leave me alone if you don't need anything.
Wait! I do need to talk to you!
You helped one of my classmates.
I wanted to thank you.
I didn't do anything.
No, he was grateful.
Cool.
Is that all?
I'm sorry. I wish I could stop Haruma Hazeura.
But he won't fight me.
He's a coward. He only fights those who aren't that strong.
Why does he do that?
How can we stop him?
I don't know.
You'll just have to ignore him.
As if I care.
No, there's hope!
You're not going to bring up Seventh Flame, too, are you?
I sure am!
Their club president, Itsuki!
He is an amazing man!
I realized my mistake and was moved by his greatness!
Thanks to him, my club and I are all fired up!
I think maybe he and his Seventh Flame could do it!
That's why I entrusted them with one of my club members!
I don't care.
Takanashi!
If you think I'm lying, ask Shinobu Miki.
She'll say the same!
Shut up.
Crystallize is an effect commonly used by Havencraft players.
It allows a follower to be played as an amulet card.
Think of it as an amulet version of Accelerate.
Now that we've finished our discussion of Havencraft,
Takanashi,
solve this problem!
That'll do, right?
Y-Yes.
I guess that's why you're a Shadowverse club president.
I'm thirsty.
Yakisoba Sandwich
What?
That's not enough nutrition.
What is your problem? Do all you people talk to each other?
Yesterday it was Fuwari Hahajima.
This morning, Tatsumi Raido.
And now you.
I'm being continually harassed by Shadowverse club presidents.
That's a strange coincidence.
Here, have this as an apology.
I don't want it.
I'm not hungry.
And it's got too many calories.
I see. It's good, though.
Vending Machine Corner
Why not worry about your own club before you worry about me?
I heard Seventh Flame took one of your members.
Well, the club president, actually.
You mean your secret club president?
Don't worry about it.
We're doing okay.
So, I wanted to warn you...
I don't want to hear another word about Seventh Flame, if that's it.
I think they're really interested in Third Feather, though.
This really is good.
They started by challenging my Sixth Magic,
Tatsumi's Fifth Sword,
Fuwari's Fourth Wind...
So you'll be next, Tsubasa. Your Third Feather.
Whatever. I'm not going to agree to a battle, though.
I don't know if you'll be able to turn them down, though.
They need one more member to be considered a club.
And Second Blood's not around anymore.
And obviously, they can't ask Haruma's First Reaper.
Which means...
Your group, Third Feather, is their last chance to get a member.
I just told you...
Seventh Flame will be coming with all they've got, whether you want them to or not.
Whatever.
I felt the same way, but...
Shadowverse is special.
When you're battling, they pull you in.
Indeed, Light Tenryu gets me all fired up.
I just wanted to warn you.
I don't care.
If they want to go all out, let them.
I'll just have to teach them...
That there's no point in getting serious.
Sheesh...
Transfer student, I guess we'll have to see what you can do.
This is great!
There's no point in getting serious.
Sorry for handing you the club like this, Tsubasa.
Seira...
Haruma Hazeura is really strong.
I couldn't beat him at all.
No...
Take this card. It's my best one.
I-I couldn't!
I don't have the right...
I see.
Well, I'll give it to you when you feel confident, then.
Okay?
Tsubasa, take good care of Third Feather.
It's a home for all of them.
Seira...
Don't cry!
You're cutest when you're battling and smiling!
Being serious doesn't change a thing.
It can't change a thing.
Seventh Flame will change things?
All of you are just stupid.
You're making me so mad. Seriously.
I'm just sick of...
I knew she'd be here.
Same as always!
More vegetable juice!
You need calories, or you'll get sick from malnutrition.
What's wrong?
Are you feeling sick?
No.
I'm just so pissed off I can't take it anymore.
What?
You get sick after all?
I'm not the sick one. It's them.
I'll make them understand that.
"Them"?
If they're coming eventually, I'll go to them first.
I'll crush Seventh Flame.
It'll be a lot better than being beaten by Haruma.
Probably...
They'll just realize there's no point in getting serious.
Shadowverse Card Showcase!

Gemstone Wingy.
My DigiFriend. Cute. That's all.
What kind of effects does it have?
I don't care.
Why don't you practice some puzzle quests first?
Sure. Why don't you join me?
Light, nothing stops you, huh?
We spent the day recruiting new members, making decks, attending class...
