Remember kids, to study before your exams. There will be both written and practicals, and they will be spaced throughout the month.

And no cramming. You need sleep or else the information is going to end up going in one ear and out the other like a breeze.

[Private to Sadame]
So, Euphemia's been brought back. I want your thoughts on the matter and what should be done about her.

And Gwendolyn mentioned something about salvage. And clockwork?

I know. But.

...

I haven't. Dueled like that. In a really long time. I haven't dueled as a pro, just...dueling for myself, for my own ambitions, in five years. The last time I did it was for the WRGP and when my team lost that...I. Kind of. Spiraled out of control. And. That's just what always happened to me when I dueled as a pro. I put all of myself into it, and I got so invested and it made me strong, but...when I lost big like that, it was like. I lost any sense of control I had over my life.

I managed to get a hold on myself and my emotions by becoming a Hunter, by fully embracing my role as a Signer...by dueling for other people first and foremost. And it's like...I've taken on a lot of extra responsibilities, but my life is a lot less crazy than it used to be. Because. I feel like I'm in control of myself, for the first time in my life.

I don't know if. Dueling as a pro again. Is healthy for me.

So don't Duel as a Pro, so to speak.

Treat this as something you're doing for fun. For good reasons. Rather than focusing on the stress and strain. I realize that's a bit hard to do. But that should be your aim.

This might be a high level event but.

There's no stupid strings attached near as I can see. No shitty awful conspiracies. From what I'm following it's just mostly a lot of old nearly retired types such as yourself along with some long runners.

If you're concerned your emotions will run out of control and your temper will get the best of you?

Then I'd be willing to counsel you in general. And I can recommend meditation.

But I think this is an opportunity you shouldn't drop. At the very least, you get a chance to Duel friends and family in a setting that while broadcast, is likely to be on less stressful terms than.

Man, the WRGP was a piece of shit.

How many conspiracies were circling around that mess?

If you're concerned it would be Dueling for yourself, then make it mentally about others. Make this tournament about Psychic Duelist and the Forest. How it can help them.

Unless I'm missing something.

Though, I'd of thought you would of wanted a chance to get a crack at Judai and Akae.

[naturalcure]

I do want a crack at them. I've never gotten to duel them in any way other than casually...

Man, I really wanted to face Juudai in the WRGP.

I don't know. What you're saying makes sense, but...it's complicated. I still dunno if I should.

Hufffff. Mind if I sidetrack this for a second?
