I can imagine what could happen.

_{[He says that without a pause. He knows all too well what people are capable of. ]}

But you said you were experienced and knew your limits... So tell me, if someone wasn't and tried to start a duel what would happen?

_{[Because he knows Yuya can be just too reckless sometimes, so this is the most important part to him.]}

[pregames]

[He huffs, amused.] I would be shocked if they could manage it. Likely they would exhaust themselves before they could do much damage at all. There is a limit to what one can do and that too grows with experience.

[darkduelist]

_{[Yuto doesn't notice anything amusing in that. Instead, to him it's relieving at least a little. It would be more if he only actually trusted Atem.]}

That's good.

[pregames]

[Come on Yuto, he's a king. Those are like, awesome credentials. The best.]

Look at it this way. When one decides to learn a martial art, they start out weak. They tire easily and they may get some bruises and cuts along the way. That is how they learn. And some will go their whole life never using their skills for anything but amusement and sport. If that be the case, so much the better. But when they are squaring off against someone that could really hurt them, they should be a lot more grateful to know how to fight back than not. It is hardly any different in this case.

But... [If that's still not enough.] you have my word that their safety comes before all else.

<sub>[He may be a king, but that means nothing to Yuto. He is not convinced even when Atem compares this ancient magic to martial arts.

Yuto falls silent. In fact he's silent for so long that you may wonder if he's still there.]</sub>

...Fine. But make sure to keep your word.

_{[It's obvious that he still doesn't trust the pharaoh.]}

[pregames]

[It's obvious and he can tell and it sets the back of his neck prickling. A pharaoh isn't much used to people standing up to them. Still, he can roll with the punches, the teasing, even threats but this calls question to his very integrity -- something he has yet to recover from his past. This is personal.

Still he won't do it any favors by getting smart now and he bites his tongue.]

In that case, I will let my actions speak for themselves.

[darkduelist]

_{[Even though Atem can't see this, Yuto still nods. Then after a moment he says simply:]}

That's all I had to say.

_{[And he doesn't even wait for the other's answer, just ends the call.]}
