3rd POV:
Soft morning light seeps through the curtains. A thin ray of sun slips through the fabric and stretches across the girl's bed. The alarm clock suddenly rings, sharp and persistent, breaking the quiet.
The girl shifts beneath the blankets, brow tightening. She squints, slowly waking as the sunlight touches her face. Her black purple hair get messy from the long sleep.
She instinct touch the spot beside her but found nothing there, only a linger warm. She turns over and bury her face in the pillow beside her and inhale deeply. 'Hah~ so addicted, I feel so bad doing this behind his back, he will probably feel disgusting if he knows his friend sniff his used pillow every morning, doesn't it?'
Even though she thinks that but she didn't stop, her pupils start to reshape into a pink small heart.
Then suddenly, the bedroom door got open from outside, Dextra jolt out of the bed panicking. Ryuji calmly walk in with a bread on his mouth. "The breakfast is ready, change up soon. We're going out today and no need to wake Nistro, I have already leave breakfast and message to him." Ignore the steamed Dextra who was stand stiff beside the bed with her bang cover her face, Ryuji quickly wake out of the room.
'She did not see me doing that right? Right?' Dextra thought in panic and quickly change her clothes, do not dare to touch the pillow again.
From outside the bedroom, Ryuji stare blankly at the bedroom door. 'She sniffs my pillow once again, doesn't she? Sign~ When did she become such a pervert? Perhaps that the effect of high corrupted point.' Ryuji silently think as he goes to the kitchen on the first floor of the house.
Currently all three of them are living in a house provide by Mr.Heartland. It's a traditional Japanese house with two floors, a typical layout includes a living, dining, and kitchen area on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor.
One bedroom was taken by Ryuji and Dextra so naturally the other one belongs to Nistro. As for the reason why Ryuji and Dextra share the same bedroom?
*ZZZZ* A faint sounds of snore reach Ryuji ear when he eats breakfast. 'Just how? The entire house is made of soundproofing material, how did his snore break through the entire layer to reach down here?'
The person he was talking is no other than Nistro, for some reason (or someone) he developed a habit to snore when sleeping and it's so loud that Ryuji can't sleep before when he still sleeps together with him, which lead to his sleep in Dextra room.
But his stuff still put inside Nistro room, he only stays at Dextra room during the night for sleep and sleep only. What important must be said twice.
That God response for this? [I was trying to give you two a private space. Sleep together is the best way to develop relationship.] Full of bullshit. It's still good for now since both of them are still kid, but when they get older, he will have to kick Nistro out of the house.
After waiting for 15 minutes, Dectra finally come down. She's wearing a short light purple skirt with a white blouse. As for Ryuji, he's wearing simple white shirt with dark jean. What stand out the most is his black jacket with its red trim and some magenta fire pattern. Combine with other patterns like claw or red eyes at the back of his jacket can easily make people think of Red-Eyes Black Dragon, more specific Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon.
He had it custom-made at a famous clothing store recommended by Mr.Heartland. At first, he wants to simulate his most favorite dragon Red-Eyes Black Dragon but because it lacks color so he has to go with Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon instead.
Ryuji took a glance at his phone 'September 19th, 7.30 am' he turn to Dextra who was enjoy her breakfast. "Take your time, we still have 1 hour."

Somewhere in the center of Heartland city near the Heartland Academy stand an old-fashioned residence. This is the house of Tsukumo family.
Inside the house, Kari was looking at the mirror and fixed her dress a little, she looks at little Yuma beside her: "How do I look, is there any spot messy?"
Yuma yawn a little "You drag me out of bed early in the morning just for me to rate your outfit? By the way, you already ask me that same question for 30 minutes!" He said with a slight annoyed.
Inside the the living room, Yuma and Kari grandma Haru Tsukumo and Yuma childhood friend Tori Meadows was sitting together. Tori smiles awkward as the voice of Yuma and Kari got louder.
Haru gently pat her head "Later when all three of you go out, please remember to take care of Yuma, although today is his birthday but don't go home late."
Tori listens carefully to Haru remind and nod seriously "Don't worry grandma, if that idiot cause any trouble, then I will give him a good beating."
Then suddenly the door of the living room got open, Kari call for Tori: "Let's go, the tournament gonna start in about 1 hour, if we want to take a good seat then we have to go soon."
After saying goodbye to her grandma, she drags Yuma out by the ear. Tori quickly ran after them.

3rd POV:
Outside an area in the center of Heartland city, Ryuji and Dextra were standing there waiting for Kari group to arrive, today is the day The Little Cup was held.
The Little Cup is a tournament host by Mr.Heartland for children from 10 to 12 to find the good seeds to become his subordinate in the future. Today Ryuji was gonna participate in the tournament, although he's still a bit young for the tournament but his boss is the one who host it.
If you are 16 and take part in a game for a 12-year-old then people will call you shameless, but if you're young like Ryuji then people will call you little genius.
Ryuji have already informed Mr.Heartland about his participate in the tournament and ask for a chance in the champion prize. The original prize is money and a direct recruitment to Heartland Academy, both thing that he already has.
As for the new prize, Ryuji plan to give it to Yuma as birthday gift. Getting the champion prize as a gift definitely make Yuma have a good impression or maybe even see him as his idol. As for wether he can truly win or not? There's no doubt about it, if he loses then he will unalive himself.
Not long after Kari appear with 2 kids beside her, Ryuji instantly recognize them. 'Oh? Who would have thought I will get an unexpected gain today.' Ryuji wave his hand at the three of them caught their attention.
The moment the 2 kids see Ryuji they froze on their feet for two different reasons. In Tori mind right now the world seem to become blur, only thing that clear to her right now is Ryuji face. 'So handsome! The most beautiful man I have ever seen. What happen? Why did my heart beat so fast?'
Contrast to Tori who was current control her hazy mind, Yuma eyes shine as he looks at Ryuji outfit. 'Holy! That jacket is so cool! I want to have one like that, his duel disk is stylist too.'
Ryuji notice Yuma eyes and smile satisfied. 'Cool right? I spend a lot of money on this jacket and duel disk.' Like his jacket, Ryuji duel disk is also simulating Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
Suddenly, out of nowhere a familiar blue screen appear before Ryuji eyes.
Although he unable to see the God face but from the world on the screen he can feel his panic. 'What in the world happen make him react that way?' He quickly opens the system and stun from what he sees.
[Tori: Affection-0 -> 70 -> 45 -> 78 -> 52 -> 84 -> 50... / Corrupted-0 -> 4 -> 13 -> 21 -> 27...]
'What the heck is happening?'
'What affect her mind that much? The affection point is rising crazily, and how can I have more things like that?'
Just when Ryuji want to continue asked, his surrounding turn dark, the time slow down and eventually stop moving. From within Tori a huge amount of dark energy burst out and gather together form a slim figure with black hair and four pair of wings.
'Fairy Cheer Girl? No, this is CXyz Dark Fairy Cheer Girl! How tf this card exists right now and why did Tori even have it???' Ryuji mind was cover in question; he can't make sense of what is happening right now.
The dark fairy approach Ryuji and raise his face with her hands. Her eyes are full of love and devotion which reminds him of Dextra, but unlike Dextra, the fairy already reach the level of a watermelon. She mumbles something he unable to hear, only a few words. "Master as a child...how cute~"
Before he can ask her anything, in the sky a small rift appear, the dark fairy looking at him with a little unsatisfied "Eh~ I thought I can stay with him longer, why make me come back so soon?"
She puffs out her's cheeks unsatisfied. Then her body slowly releases dark energy like when she appears but this time it all gets fully absorb by the rift on the sky. After the rift has absorb all dark energy, in the original spot of the dark fairy now stand a figured with blue hair and cheer clothes but same size. 'Fairy Cheer Girl'
The fairy slowly opens her eyes, when she meets Ryuji golden eyes, she instantly gets embarrassed, she then turns into a thousand point of light and go back into Tori body.
Ryuji then took a glance at the rift as its slowly closed and ask the God in confused. "So, did you what's that thing on the sky? And why did a CXyz exist here?"
'Did God even have a heart? "So, what was your guess that make you so shock."
Ryuji froze as he read the panel. "Light of Corruption!? You mean they're people that have Light of Corruption aside from me!? But doesn't that power is your gift for me, how can other people have that?"
'Huh? After talking back and forth the suspect is me all along?' Ryuji doesn't argue back to the God but think of a suitable answer for this matter.
To set up something like this that person must either can look far into future or already experienced it before, I lean toward the latter.>
'Have Light of Corruption, have experienced this event happen, that time tunnel above my head.' "If what you said are true then there's one person fit that description."
'My past self again, just how many surprised did he gonna give me now?' After a moment of silence, Ryuji shout angrily at the blue panel. "And what did you mean by born from power of Light of Corruption? Did the power you gave me have an ability to turn normal waifu card into a bursty waifu spirit, but you didn't tell me!?"
<...If you want to know then stop being lazy and go seduce a big bursty sister. Make her corrupted point reach 100 and I will give you that ability.>
"... Nevermind, I will just wait for the female characters to grow up." He has no interest in some side character that did not even have a name. But gather a fan club full of bursty women is a must.
Not long after the rift completely close and the time start to flow once again. 'Will anyone notice time has been stop?'
Then Ryuji heard Yuma worry voice. "Tori! Are you alright?"
He looks over and sees Tori knee on the ground with a red face breath heavily. The Tsukumo siblings were check her condition, he and Dextra quickly run after them.
Ryuji look at the system once again to check her affection and corrupted point.
[Tori: Affection-60 / Corrupted-60]
'Oh? Already 60? Sorry then Yuma, you gonna lost your future girlfriend to me.'
