After the duel, the ritual of Amon is over, at this point on. Everything goes back to normal. Except the fact that people that frozen inside the time statement.
Once tanto already took his card as reward. He looked at the two remaining enemies.
"So, are you going to fight me?"
Hearing this, Alice shook her head and replied.
"No, not yet. The time statement is almost over and unlike rex. We have different motives."
Looking at Jack. Her eyes was replaced with predatorial gaze and continued.
"As long as I can't find the guardian of crimson dragon. They are the target that cannot be touches. So until I defeated the guardian. I won't lay a hand on you."
As he nodded his head, Shawn added.
"Me too, am not aiming you just yet. But right now, even without fighting the guardian of the crimson dragon. I'll challenge him very soon."
As his eyes stared at yusei. Yusei notice his eyes and continued.
"Yusei! I know you have that card on you and I'll fight you very soon. If you defeat me. I'll gave the upgrade version of you ace monster 'junk warrior'."
At his declaration, yusei narrow his eyes and said.
"Upgrade version of junk warrior?"
"Yes, but if you lost. I'll take that junk warrior instead. Meaning, you will lose your final ace so be sure to be ready."
Looking at him in determination. Yusei nodded his head as he too don't want to lost his final ace card.
"Let's go Shawn, we have to go. To bad we didn't meet the guardian of the crimson dragon."
As Shawn nodded his head. They left the manor as the time returned to it's course.
.....
After they left, things went back to normal as yusei curl his fist into ball.
"Hey yusei, is something wrong?"
At Leo's worried tone. Luna couldn't stop shaking in his arms. Leo and crow didn't know what happened but none of the two couldn't tell the truth.
Meanwhile, jack went to tanto who was currently talking to other people. But on his way, misty block his path causing jack to raise an eyebrow.
"Move."
At his tone, misty smiled and said.
"No, am not going to move jack atlas."
Despite her tone, the crimson dragon mark and her dark mark glowing in faintly. Even if jack demand her to move.
His influence towards the nobles are hollow and misty knew this. In fact, she also knows Jack's history and the things he done.
Which is why she was confidence that she can stop him. As jack as about to take his Duel disk, tanto replied.
"Misty, let him come."
"But your majesty."
Hearing the words majesty. Everyone near tanto raise their eyebrows. While tanto himself when stiff.
"Is mister tanto came from noble lineage?"
"What's th problem if he called noble?"
"Fool, we nobles are just a named and the word majesty is a title from the royal family."
"I don't know? But I think his grandmother is from th-."
As rumor was about to spread. Tanto cough lightly and replied.
"Gentleman, you know that was a nickname like the duel king. Not that am the son of the British king right?"
Hearing this, everyone think again and nodded their heads.
"You're right mister tanto."
"Sorry about that. I almost thought your that one."
"Hahaha, if his a prince I might become a prime minister."
As his friends joke around. Tanto sigh as Misty felt guilty.
"It's okay Misty, I wouldn't mad at you but please. Don't say that. In front of everybody. Otherwise they will treated me like a king next."
As tanto scratch his cheeks. Misty gave a wide eyes as she never thought that their protector is nice. Unlike other dark signers who she interacted. Who was arrogant and full of themselves. Tanto interact just fine.
"Now, mister duel king. What can I help you?"
At his sarcastic tone, jack atlas raise an eyebrow as if he was mocking him but he ignored it.
"I want you to explain me everything about the mo-."
Before he continued. Tanto laugh but not loud enough and replied.
"Sorry, mister jack. But unfortunately I can't tell you that."
At his tone, jack glared at him as he continued.
"First of all, am not a guardian of the crimson dragon. In fact. I am your enemy that you cannot challenge.
Second of all, if you want to know about them. Ask your own guardian. Whoever he was but I bet he won't show his face do you know why?"
At his question. Jack listen and continued.
"Because, one of the signers just disrespect the markings as it tried to used it in no good. So probably. He rather wait until the whole group of crimson signers worthy for his presence.
third and lastly. You didn't came here to ask those guys but the card related to my ace right."
At his tone, jack didn't want to admit it but his right. He wants to know why his ace card required the red archfiend dragon.
"Unfortunately for you, I won't or I will never tell you."
"Why."
"Simple, red archfiend doesn't accepted you. No, he was disappointed at you jack atlas."
Hearing this, jack gritted his teeth as he didn't understand why.
"If you said that the red archfiend dragon doesn't accepted me. Does this means that yo-."
"Oh no, no, no, no. The red archfiend dragon also doesn't accepted me. In fact. If I summon him. He probably will turned my into charcoal. But, with the help of my ace. Summoning the new version of red archfiend dragon is easy."
Hearing this, jack became suspicious as said.
"How."
With mean full smiled he add.
"Simple, by enslaving it and force it to summon."
Hearing this, jack glared at him and shouted.
"You! I wouldn't let you do that to my soul card!"
Through out his outburst. Many people looked at him including yusei. But tanto laugh and continued.
"Well of course, I can. Do you know why?"
As he walk slowly at him as got near his ears he continued.
"Because we are modern duelist. And you are not."
As he patted his shoulder. Jack wanted to throw a punch at him. But tanto stop him.
"And this is also why your guardian won't show up. To you all. You're naivety is the reason why he didn't want to risk of exposing himself."
At his final advice. Tanto walk away as he gave a wave.
"Bye, bye now. Sassy king."
As he glared his eyes in his back. Tanto looked at misty and said.
"I want to meet other dark signer."
Hearing this misty nodded her head.
"Understood you ma-."
"I told you not to call me your majesty."
As he pinch her cheeks, other people laugh a little while jack was standing alone. Feeling bitter after tanto's explanation.
He didn't know what to do but he have one thing in goal. That is to find their guardian as he knew that he was the key for the red archfiend and for defeating the modern duelist.
