Kira was not surprised by Becta's attitude. "As expected, there was no way he'd cooperate and just start talking. Fine. This was within expectations too."
As he spoke, Kira activated his Duel Disk.
"Heh, a mere human wants to duel the great Becta? Fine." Becta narrowed his eyes and let out another sinister chuckle before speaking. "As you wish. Come on!"
