"...shadow connect..."
Zoemi muttered under his breath while walking outside the mansion, and a hair-like shadow shot out behind him, seeking and immediately connecting him with the red-haired Vianee's shadow, while the two of them were taking positions.
"..."
Setting ups spells before the duel properly starts was considered to be not only rude and bad manners but often lead to the automatic loss, but the black-haired boy didn't particularly care about any of that, despite the fact that the young dark-blue-haired butler who ended up going with them to be the duel's witness, certainly noticed the premature setup.
Still, he remained silent, so it was as if nothing happened.
With that, the black-haired boy and the red-haired man stood against each other in front of the Banemor mansion.
Zoemi's expression was that of a stone-cold mask, while Vianee was smirking to himself, still very pleased with the reaction.
