Come in.
It's been a long time, Mikado Shirogane.
It has indeed, Mr. Founder.
You never come here.
I've heard the Shadowverse teams are having a tournament.
I came to tell you I'm looking forward to it.
Is that all?
I also wanted to talk to somebody I know.
Well, it's good timing, at least.
I had something I wanted to ask you.
And what might that be?
Light Tenryu Dragoncraft Player Type: Armored Dragons Best Card: Laevateinn Dragon
Why'd you bring him to Shadowverse College?
Until he came here, he didn't even know what Shadowverse was.
So why him?
Why? Because I love equality and fairness.
And I do everything I can to uphold them.
I don't understand.
You don't?
Then enjoy not understanding.
I don't like you.
Because I don't do what you want me to?
Yes. You Seven Shadows are terribly secretive.
I don't even know who all of you are.
Because they're on an important mission related to the Arc.
A few secrets are a necessity.
"Secrets," huh?
Don't be so snide.
I've got a future waiting for you that you're sure to enjoy.
The way you say that is what pisses me off.
But, well, once I become one of the Seven Shadows, I'll reveal all your secrets.
Light Tenryu will probably have a battle today.
Watch it.
What's in it for me?
That's up to you.
Episode 24
You're Dense, Aren't You?
"You're Dense, Aren't You?"
Hey, guys!
Yo.
Hey, how's your training going?
Perfect, I think!
You scared me!
What about you?
You're not slacking off, are you?
Oh, you're worried, are you, Tsubasa?
I think we've learned a lot about Shadowverse, right?
Right?
Yeah.
Marufuji Cafeteria was delicious.
The black ramen was huge.
Hey.
You've got it all wrong!
That's just him being a doofus!
We trained! We really did!
Oh, did you go to the Marufuji Cafeteria?
Yes.
Without me and Tsubasa?
Was that bad?
It's not bad, but we'd have wanted to go, too!
Right?
Well, it doesn't feel good that we weren't asked.
U-Um, d-do you all want to go after this, then?
Great idea!
Marufuji Cafeteria
You sure that's a good idea?
That place is popular. I'm not sure the five of us can fit.
Not five of us! Six of us!
Because Shi—
Not five of us. Six of us.
Including Gentleman.
Gentleman can't eat.
He was complaining when we got takoyaki.
Yeah, but...
Not inviting him feels wrong.
That's right!
What?
Nothing at all.
Oh, my. I see you're having fun as always.
It's been a while, Gentleman!
You have a very stupid-looking expression on your face, Light Tenryu.
You don't understand the reason I'm here, do you?
The reason?
It's not that you were feeling left out?
I-It's not!
Don't you have something more important to worry about than ramen?
Your training's starting to pay off.
You're learning to understand Shadowverse.
And the bonds between club members are...
Well, you could say they've gotten stronger.
Right?
Yeah.
I agree.
However!
Him! Him!
Haruma Hazeura!
You don't have enough to beat him!
Understanding of Shadowcraft! Experience!
You don't have enough of any of it!
Or am I wrong?
Yeah, you're right.
I agree.
Well, what Gentleman's saying isn't wrong.
Haruma's tough. We should be doing more to get ready.
Yeah. I want to battle him again.
But just battling isn't enough.
I need to get closer to him. Get stronger!
Light, I agree!
Then we should battle a player who uses Shadowcraft, right?
Which means...
Not me.
Why?
I don't mind battling...
But there's not that much point to playing me, is there?
True. Good point.
Subaru Makabe's deck doesn't use a lot of Necromancy.
Yup, yup.
And if you're going to play somebody, you want a strong player,
not somebody at my level.
Quality over quantity.
A strong Shadowcraft player, huh?
Don't ask me. I don't know any.
If I did, I would've introduced you.
Too bad. Then...
Shadowcraft...
I know! Maybe we should ask the teachers!
They know a lot!
Ren?
She's fast! And Light went with her?
Dragnir vanished, too.
Ren can run fifty meters in around seven seconds, supposedly.
Can Light keep up?
I guess it's not that bad a plan.
Better than doing nothing, right?
Hold it.
What is it, Tsubasa?
We need another plan if asking the teacher doesn't work.
Specifically?
What I just said. Plan B.
If we don't have a strong player to fight, we'll just have to make one!
If you get stronger, we'll have no problem at all.
Did the two of you always speak in sync like that?
I'm not sure there's time.
Of course not. We're in a hurry.
B-But...
There isn't that much time left until the tournament.
Right?
Yeah...
Fine. I'll do it! I'll do it!
Subaru...
My "training" has made me a little more optimistic, anyway.
I've been wanting to get more excited.
So you don't need to worry about a thing.
Subaru... Great!
So yeah, do whatever you want—
You don't need to tell us. We're doing it anyway.
Subaru Makabe, don't think a mere few hundred games will make you stronger...
Maybe I should've known better than to try something outside my comfort zone...
Light!
Are you okay?
Yeah. Go on without me.
Okay!
I need to train my body, not just my Shadowverse skills...
That's...
Light Tenryu, the chosen one.
Come, if you wish to know your fate.
To the Shadowverse Battle College...
What is my fate?
No, I need to focus on what's in front of me.
Shadowcraft?
Yes. You know everything, right, sir?
So please tell me where I can find a strong Shadowcraft player.
The Psychology of Enigma
Enigma Researcher Akiko Matsuo
Hm, I'm not sure. Let me check the roster.
Please do!
I'll look with you—
No, it's secret information.
Secret information!
Excuse me.
That's so cool! Like a hero show!
Ms. Andrea.
Today's a day I can't concentrate.
Psychology of Enigma
Enigma Researcher Akiko Matsuo
Nothing.
So you're looking for a powerful Shadowcraft player?
Yes, and I thought you might know someone.
You know Subaru Makabe, right?
Yes, but I want to battle a stronger player.
Why?
Because I want to get stronger!
Why?
Because I can't reach Haruma's heart unless I become stronger.
I see.
Of course! Are you a fan of Battle Fencer, too?
Come with me.
I've been watching since the original!
R-Right!
Light Tenryu and Knuckle Dragon Dragnir
Class: Dragoncraft Birthday: 12/20 Likes: Time in His Room
Deadsoul Sniper
Um, Ms. Andrea?
Where's the strong player?
You're dense, aren't you?
"Grand Master"?
You're staying after school tomorrow.
Ranks indicate how strong you are at Shadowverse.
There are seven ranks.
From the bottom: D, C, B, A, AA, Master...
And Grand Master, at the very top.
A-And that's you?
There were only a very few, a long time ago.
But it's different now.
I'm a Shadowcraft Grand Master.
What will you do?
I'll battle!
Give me a second.
I'm ready.
Thank you for battling me.
I've had an interest in you.
So I'm glad to have the chance.
I'll learn everything I can from you!
Battle! Shadowverse!
I attack your leader with Diamond Master!
I-I give up!
We've barely just started.
We need you to be at least Master rank.
Yup.
Wait, Gentleman's one thing,
but Tsubasa, you're not acting like your usual self at all!
Let's take a break.
We don't have time for a break.
We need quantity over quality right now.
Yup.
It's from Light.
Seventh Flame
Light Tenryu. I'm in the back courtyard.
"I'm in the back courtyard."
"I found a strong player."
"She's a Grand Master"?
I attack your leader with Hammer Dragonewt and Armed Kit!
Armed Kit's effect activates, and I draw two cards on attack.
I end my turn.
I just ended my fourth turn after going first. It's going well so far.
You're naïve.
The second player's fourth turn is when they get to evolve.
If you're not watching out for an evolution, you'll get hurt.
My turn.
Draw.
I play Deadsoul Sniper.
I evolve it.
Her evolve effect activates and restores 1 PP.
She attacks Armed Kit.
Her on-attack effect triggers
and deals 1 damage to your leader and all your followers.
Hammer Dragonewt's Last Words add a Dragon Smash to my hand!
I also play the spell card Undying Resentment,
which does 3 damage, or 5 damage with Necromancy 2, to your Dragon Warrior.
I end my turn.
Dragon Warrior has an evolve effect.
You shouldn't play it on the first player's fourth turn without a good reason.
I see!
That's good to know!
Light!
Oh, guys!
You're really playing with Andy?
Is she really Grand Master rank?
Everyone, watch me!
I'll get stronger in this battle!
My turn! Draw!
I play the amulet card Drago Weapon!
And then I play Lance Lizard.
Evolve!
Evolved Lance Lizard attacks Deadsoul Sniper!
Its on-attack effect activates,
increasing its defense by 2, and doing 2 damage to the enemy leader!
Okay!
Hey, is he winning?
Yeah, I think he's got the upper hand.
Deadsoul Sniper's Last Words.
It increases my graveyard by 1.
Don't think you've gotten the upper hand on a Shadowcraft player
just by securing a temporary advantage.
Draw.
Spell Card: Grudge Onslaught.
It uses Reanimate 3 and gives that follower Rush.
And it does it.
"Reanimate"?
One of Shadowcraft's best effects.
It puts the follower with a cost closest to the number in its effect back in play.
That was Reanimate 3,
so she returned Deadsoul Sniper, the card with a cost closest to 3, to play.
I evolve Deadsoul Sniper.
Its evolve effect restores 1 PP.
And then I play the spell card Scream of Resentment.
It does 2 damage to an enemy follower...
lets me draw one card and restores 1 defense to my leader
for every card I reanimated this turn.
She's strong.
I'm not taking this seriously.
So I need you to win.
If you can't beat me when I'm playing at this level,
you've got no hope against Haruma Hazeura.
Okay, I've got the backpack ready!
Subaru, Ren, Tsubasa, Itsuki, Gentleman.
We'll put everything they forgot into this bag!
Itsuki forgot his lunch.
Curry Bread
Subaru forgot curry bread?
He wants a fast lunch, maybe?
Gentleman forgot...
A handkerchief with a very pretty design!
Gentleman's... huh.
I didn't expect that.
Vegetable Juice
Ren forgot her dumbbell?
And Tsubasa her vegetable juice?
Last is what Light forgot!
Wallet
That's right!
He forgot his wallet!
Ridiculous, huh?
Now let's begin "Operation Bring Silly Light and His Buddies the Things They Forgot!"
Operation Bring Silly Light and His Buddies the Things They Forgot
W-Wait!
Wait!
We caught up to the backpack, but where are we?
It's one gloomy forest.
I don't see Bakelus!
A ghost!
Stop! Stop!
Amyroth, stop!
That's no ghost. It's Bakelus!
You scared us!
Sorry! Sorry!
It was just a little prank!
Huh?
Now Mayti's missing!
Dora! Is that true?
So there's a story about a scary forest that sends DigiFriends like us
to another world and then eats them?
You've heard it, too, Wingy?
You, too, Amyroth?
Does that mean Bakelus has also...
I think Bakelus is just trying to play along.
Now I'm starting to find the whole thing unbelievable.
That's Mayti's voice!
"Everybody come quick," she says!
This really is the forest that eats DigiFriends!
Mayti! We're coming!
Shadowverse Card Showcase!
Today's Card Is
Shadowcraft
Deadsoul Sniper
Today's card is Deadsoul Sniper!
A follower with a powerful on-attack effect!
Ms. Andrea's taught me so much!
I need to pay her back in this battle!
That's the spirit, Light!
I can't believe Ms. Andrea is a Shadowcraft Grand Master!

Do you have time for monologues? Don't you have to beat me?
That's right! I'll beat you, and Haruma, too!
