Shun's match ends up running a little longer, though the commotion the teen kicks up at losing means both Shun and his opponent pause for a moment to watch him get the tongue-lashing he deserves. Once that's done, though, they're back to the game - they both have strong fields and it's been something of a stall game for a few turns while they try to burn out each other's resources, but Shun had managed to make a few dicey plays that paid off heavily in terms of forcing the kid to go through his cards quicker. While the kid is throwing what he has left into one big attack, he knows as well as Shun does that if Shun manages to survive the turn, he'll have it in the bag when it passes to him.

Sure enough, Shun has managed to hold a card that forces an end to the attacks before he takes significant damage, and the kid lets out a bit of a sharp huff as if he knows what's coming. But he still looks content as he lets Shun play out his turn and mow down his field, bringing his HP to 0 within a few attacks.

Before he picks up his cards, Shun is the first to offer out his hand - he doesn't like handshakes, but in a tournament environment, it's an asshole move not to, and the kid more than deserves it, which he points out as soon as the gesture is returned.

"You played well. Being able to stick to how you want to play and still win is the sign of a strong player, and you and your friends did it here."

The kid thanks him for the game, and they have a brief talk about the rest of the tournament before Shun stands up and heads over towards the other table. It's a given what the final match-up is going to be, but for paperwork's sake they still have to wait a few minutes for the manager to record the results.
