Trendafilka is a ball of chaotic energy today with what may be schemes, but they seem more to be 'hoping to be in the right place at the right time.' It's as close as she gets to forethought.

She can be found:

A.) At DA! She's got TONS of business with like, eight mysteries. Or to show her 'senpai' her new deck. Sadly, she cannot bring herself to sit in one place (and even in her classes can barely sit still) so she's exploring the campus, crawling up walls, getting into places she shouldn't be, and staring into the forest, bristling with anticipation and bouncing up and down.

B.) In her brother's bar. This is probably where she's the most still, her anxious energy manifesting mostly as looking at a compact, double-checking her makeup, and telling men and women that are trying to get too fresh with a specific staff member she can add them to a pile and their hands definitely don't look broken enough. Occasionally she will hop up from her seat (a table covered in a chaotic pile of homework) and run a lap around the building before settling back down for another ten minutes.

C.) She's shopping to blow off... steam? Mostly considering dresses, but also looking for combat boots and spiky jewelry.

*While you are eagerly exploring the island as a chaotic ball of energy, Yuya is sat by one of the statutes that line the path to the main Academy building. He seems to be in a world of his own, looking through some cards, so feel free to jump out at him from somewhere!*

The jumping out of nowhere has only made people upset and shriek and then we have to play 40 card pick-up. So instead, she marches up to you.

"Teacher! Um... Is something wrong?"

*Yuya snaps out of his daze and looks up at Trena.*

Ah, everything is fine! I was just thinking about some stuff.

*He then does a bit of a double take.*

Wait... teacher??

"Uh-huh! You taught me about entertainment dueling soooo.

I got to thinking and switched up my deck for it! What're you thinking about?"

Ah, just about the challenge Isabel gave me. It's nothing.

*With that he gathers the cards up into a pile in his hands and grins up at Trena.*

So, you switched up your deck for entertainment duels?

*You feel like there maybe a little more bothering him than he's letting on and that he's quickly changing the subject.*

"Ah, yes! She did call you out..."

She nods.

"I did! Is Zefra, for pendulum summoning and bonds and like a hundred other archetypes are sort of shoved in..."

She pauses her rambling.

"Are you going to accept it? She seems... angrier than she was getting up to top."

*Yuya pauses before replying.*

I've already accepted her challenge.
I dunno why she's so obsessed over me deciding to choose doing my finals here so I could move on to my third year, over the Action Duel Tournament.
I mean, I get what she's saying, but there's no one way to climb to the top as a duelist! Sure you have to take risks sometimes, but sometimes there are risks that aren't worth taking! Especially when you know you'll get other chances!

*He sighs.*

I guess I let her get under my skin a little.
And just...

*He seems to break off a little.*

"Because school was more important to you at time and now you are in Yellow!"

She reaches out and pats you.

"Is... because she seems very violent in duels? She has won last few because of that knee drop. And it's not the smiling you were trying to teach me, yes? You have very... um... opposing views in what dueling is about."

*Yuya nods.*

I remember when she was set to duel the guy from Ryozanpaku in the tournament. I had hope then that she was going to show him how to duel without violence and to show him those with abilities shouldn't be feared, but instead she used violence right back at him.
Ever since then she's been using violence in her duels in order to win and just... it doesn't sit right with me.

A duelist isn't supposed to purposely hurt another duelist in what should be a fun duel. That's not the entertainment I strive for.

She pauses. Trena LIKES violence. But... maybe there's a time and place and maybe not in middle of the duel? Gears turn slowly as she slams her fist into a palm.

"Then you can show her what you are striving for, yes?"

*Yuya looks over at her, then gives her a smile and a nod.*

Yeah. That's definitely what I plan to do.
And I know if my dad was here, he'd say something similar and that I should go into the duel with a smile on my face.
You can't make people smile, unless you're smiling yourself!

She grins back.

"Ay, is true. Go into with light heart! Overthinking this duel might be bad. Um... Will be action duel? If she comes down with knee, you should be quick enough to roll to left?"

Yeah. It'll be an Action Duel.

And I'll definitely have to make sure I'm quicker than her if she does try and use that on me, in order to avoid being hit.

"She usually drops from nowhere, at good angle..."

She hrrms and pulls out a pen and paper, beginning to sketch.

"Always have high ground and you should be fine... Um... Is about only advice I can give, since have eye for violence."

*He watches her sketch on the piece of paper.*

That's really good advice. I guess the best person to know how to dodge something like this, is someone who has experience in it.
I definitely need to plan ways to avoid any hits and to dodge quickly if she tries.

"Would offer to help more, but do not think can help in span of what little time there is? Can start trying to drop on you all rest of day though!"

It's okay! I think I'll figure it out! A lot of it will depend on the field and how I can use it to my advantage too.
I'll definitely not let her get the drop on me like she has with others!

"You will at least be expecting it! Hope she does not change tactics suddenly."

That's something I'll have to be aware of in the duel.
Either way, I'll be doing my absolute best!!

"Will be watching and cheering for you, teacher!"

*He gives her a grateful smile.*

Thanks, Trena!

"Is least can do! When things are more straightened out, would like duel myself!"

*He grins.*

It's a deal!

"Excellent! Would wish you best of luck, but you have lots of skill so would only be insulting!"

She claps, spins on her toes, and scampers off to where she shouldn't be.
