Well...
... this is a mess.

Unfortunately I was kept completely in the dark about what was going on, so I had no clue until after it happened. I wasn't told there was a risk of an impending attack from another Dimension or anything, so I've spent the last two weeks trying to dig up as much information as possible and play catch up.

A "mess" is right, yeah.

I'm just pissed off knowing I was kept out of the loop with this and that a bunch of people, most of which are Duel Academy students or slightly older, are getting practically drafted into a war!

It sucks, yeah.

Sucks even more that if this whole subterfuge nonsense never happened, I feel like a bunch of people would've ended up tossing themselves into this anyway.

Though now there's almost an obligation.

Exactly. Chances are, yeah, people would of gotten involved anyway, but that would of been their choice, but instead they were pretty much forced to fight for their lives without choice.
And that forces them to be or or less make a commitment to this. Because they're involved now.

Hnmmn...

... though I guess it goes without saying that I'm involving myself.

Yeah. I'm glad, at least, there seems to be more experienced people involved too.

But still... a lot of those kids should of had a choice.
I've been trying to contact Akaba Reiji over the last few days to try and get him to explain what the hell he was thinking, but as you can imagine, I'm either not getting through, being put on endless hold, or being told 'he's busy'.

I'm not even sure if there is anything I can even do at this point.

... what would you do, if you could get ahold of him, anyway?

Honestly, other than ask him what the hell he was thinking and ask him why he kept me in the dark about all this, I have no idea.
Maybe insist I go to? Though I'm still not back to 100% yet and...
... I dunno, at the moment I'm just really angry, so my thoughts are all over the place.

... How's your recovery been doing anyway, on that front?

Physically I'm mostly back to normal. My back might twinge now and then, but otherwise, I've been doing okay on that front.

There's been some significant improvement on my powers and Yubel. I can activate them but... it's not particularly reliable yet.
Yubel can communicate fully with me now, more or less, but isn't able to manifest themself quite yet.

Well... that's at least a relief that you can talk to them.

But it is something to be concerned about, if you're not consistent on it.

Yeah. I can't keep either my Supreme King or Yubel's powers active for long, and sometimes it's spotty at best.

I try and practise at it each day though.

But it seems I still have some healing to do with this.

... I'm not about to say this in support of this Akaba guy or anything. I do think he went about this wrong, though I guess there's no graceful way of handling "interdimensional war".

But I feel like if you had known, and you were still smack-dab in the middle of recovering, you'd have ended up feeling useless.

I doubt this was his intent, but I can't help but think it.

I guess you're right with that.
For now I shouldn't really focus on what I wasn't told and just focus on whatever I can do now.

I'll say it again here: I told you he wasn't trustworthy.

And I should of listened to you. I'll admit that.
I wasn't as cautious as I should've been.

Chances are when he came to me with the New Horizons idea, that wasn't really to help students gain more experience and exposure, it was to help him scout people for his personal army.

Uggggh.

...I had no idea things were gonna get this bad.

Did you know something about this?

...Desdemona did.

And I found out on accident. She told me what she knew and convinced me to not say anything until after the Duel Festival. That's why we were dueling each other.

And now she's...

...yeah. I heard about what happened to her.

So that's what you were disagreeing about with that duel.

I just wish there was something more we can do, but I don't know what can be done. It seems completely in Akaba Reiji's hands at this point.

....I don't know what to do.

Desdemona left me in charge of the Super Junior League.

But I can't just....stay here while others are fighting.

I know what you mean. I don't want to stand around while this is happening either but...
... I'm still healing and although I've made great progress, my powers right now are spotty and unreliable.
