"Is that darn thing on or not? I'm not in the mood to be standing up alot unless I'm making my friends to dumb shit for money." Ryuzaki said, tossing a microphone from one hand to another. He stood between a green wall and a bunch of recording cameras. Behind the cameras were his most known employees: Inu, Maverick and Mina.

"You can get back to being Mr. Ryuzubeast once we get this damn thing working." Inu snapped back, smacking the top part of his camera. "Damn thing won't turn on!"

"That's it! Iku, you're back to Chandler status! Also that's what you say whenever Riku comes home so ah, get roasted, Iqu!"

"Oh you bast-"

"It's working! They're on!" Maverick exclaimed, ending the conflict between the two.

"About time. Let's get this broadcast on the road." Ryuzaki said, leaning his neck to the left until it cracked. "Much better."

"Going live in three! Two! One! We're live!" Mina announced.

Ryuzaki started by grinning. "You guys remember when I made an already very advanced fighting system and then slapped it into a tournament where a bunch of teenagers played card games? Well I'm doing that again but much better this time!"

'I'm pretty sure that isn't what was writen in the script...' Mina sweatdropped.

"But don't get too excited, I haven't explained anything yet. You can get super excited after that. So, what system are we talking? Basically putting it, the only thing that can come after this is you actually becoming the units, not through technology, but through some scientific or magic mean but we sure know that won't happen. The ultimate Vanguard system, the Real Image Vanguard System, the RIVS if you prefer. A system that grabs what we currently have on cardfighting and doubles it tenfold. But ladies and gentleblyats, you aren't here for that. You aren't here for the basic information. You're here because you want to see it in action. You want to see the units fight before your very own eyes in a much more expanded way. Worry not, you will. A few days ago, a friend came to me. He asked if he could use one of my lower stadiums for a thing with his friends. Everyone these days knows what a Vanguard Royalty is. Almost every school has one. A group of final people, each one carrying an important title. There is an Ace, a Joker, a Jack, a Queen and a King to lead them all. My friend is a King and he was challenged by one Royalty. This wasn't your normal Royalty, it was a Royalty where their highest autorithy is no dumb King, it's a fierce Queen! And what happened next? Two more Kings joined in the fun! All craving that sweet, sweet glory. So I promised my friend that I wouldn't take it out of porportion. Well, promises aren't my greatest gift so I'm taking it out of all the porportions you can imagine! Sorta! Right now, the finest men on the business of construction are making a stadium, the first stadium to have the RIVS implemented into it! In this stadium, four monarchs will come together and brawl for a title only one of them can handle! there are many Royalties in the capital of our country Japan, but only one of them will have a leader that will be Tokyo's Finest! These are the four Royalties who's leaders will be fighting to be Tokyo's Finest!"

"The first challenger! By far, the most uncommon of all the Royalties that I will be mentioning! Not only it is the Royalty of an university, but their leader is not only the Queen and is in her second year of high school, but three of her members are in their third year of high school, one of which is a national champion, and the only member who's age actually makes sense is a national runner-up! I'm talking of course about Fukushima University's Royalty, who consists of Izuku Akira, Han Kaminari, the national runner-up Bruno Ghirga, the national champion Emon Kiba, and the fierce female fighter Homura Saki, as their Queen and leader!"

The orange haired female slammed her closed fist on the wooden table in front of her, grinning as she looked down. "It's finally time...!"

"The next competitor is a more normal Royalty! Or so I would say if their King was actually the national champion! I'm sorry, let me rephrase, this is a Royalty where a national champion and a national runner-up are, but the King isn't any of them, and was even in a regional team that didn't pass! This is no normal Royalty, this is Hagiwara High's Royalty! National champion Hikaru Hata, national runner-up Renji Akiyama, Ichigo Akio and Hisano Kakugawa, all being lead by a guy named Taira Ansei, who shouts alot!"

"REEEEEEEEEEEEE HOW DOES HE DARE DISS ME ON LIVE TV REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Taira yelled, shakking his tablet. "REEEEEEEEEEE YOU SHALL PAY PROTAGONIST!"

"The last challenger isn't a normal Royalty either. Why? Because it's basically a one man Royalty! A Royalty where a King leads alone for he has no need for helpers! A King who just searches a peaceful life! I usually would name the other members of this Royalty, but while they are real, they basically don't do anything, so I'll just name the King. The peaceful King of Yamazaki High's Royalty, Tenma Onibitenbu!"

The blonde boy woke up the nap he was taking, sitting up on the dark purple bean chair he had used as a bed. He pulled down his face mask to let a yawn, and then pulled it back up. "Time flies when you're doing nothing, I guess."

"These three challenged one King. And I can call this King a friend, because that's what he is to me. He taught me more than I ever taught him, and now, I'll admit, I'm living under his shadow. What can I say? You win some, you lose some. But this is the regular Royalty out of the four. Their highest autorithy is the King, their King is easily the strongest one out of the five and the Royalty is actually composed of five people! You might actually be familiar with who I'm talking about. Their popularity just started getting bigger ever since a trio of their members won regionals, and then a trio of ex-Royalty members won the following regional, and then two of them became national champions with another national champion becoming the King, which only skyrocket their fame out of the roof! No wonder they are being challenged by three Royalties, they have more fame in their bag than my assitant Iku has money on his wallet!"

"Oh you cunt..." Inu muttered under his breath, glaring at the white haired.

"I'm just kidding, love you too, Ifu. My point is that this Royalty is no joke. And the fact that they are the main prey here only makes things more interesting. Joe Zaizen, Aijou Fukai, Jerome Abbacchio, national champion Fujiko Abe and national champion Ryuuga Sawada, the King of Heiwa Academy's Royalty!"

Abbacchio dragged his pencil across a white page filled with black lines. With that final stroke, the lines all formed two different people. "It looks like shit."

"Don't worry Abbacchio, it looks abstracty enough, like the rest of your artwork!" Aijou said, grabbing both of his shoulders. 'I have no idea what the hell that mess of black and white is but I think he doesn't has any idea too.' She thought as she smiled.

"It looks italian to me." Joe replied, bitting down on a burrito. "Actually scrap that, that's somehow drawn worse than most of Black Clover's episodes."

"Fuck you, Joe." Abbacchio responded.

"Will you three shut up? We're trying to watch Ryuzaki's broadcast." Fujiko asked, looking back at the phone Ryuuga held in his hands.

"In one month, the stadium will be finished, the RIVS will be fully implemented and then the fight for Tokyo's Finest will begin. Easy to understand. On the bad side, whoever wins will probably have another other Royalties come for him, or her, but minor, that's too planning ahead for the normal human being. With that said, I'm Ryuzaki Mikazuchi, your rich as ball neighbourhood friend, and I approve this message. I'll see you at Tokyo's Finest!"

Ryuuga turned off the screen and laid back on the couch of the Royalty room. "So... This was taken out of porpotions... So many porpotions... I guess trying to live as a peaceful King who can balance his personal life with his King duties has gone to crap... AH GODDAMNIT RYUZAKI, I'M SCREWED!"

"The cameras are off, what now?" Maverick asked.

"Let me think..." Ryuzaki replied, rubbing his chin. "I know! Let's see who can last the longest in a spinning door and the winner gets ten grand?"

"I'm in Chandler status so-"

"That means you get fifty grand in one dollar bills if you win."

"LONG LIVE MR. RYUZUBEAST!" Inu yelled, jumping onto Maverick's back.

So.

We're back for more.

Hikaru: The longest month of my life sad owo.

First of, I wanna thank Little_Cute_Cookie for the covers present in this Prologue, aswell as all other covers in the story.

Secondly, this is the sequel to "Cardfight!! Vanguard: Spiral Terra" and without reading it, you'll most likely not understand most of characters that are in this story, so I recommend that you go and read Spiral Terra first before reading Spiral Soul. You can find Spiral Terra in my page. And if you go read Spiral Terra, why not check out the rest of the CCEU books? Afterall, this is Spiral Soul, it's part of the CCEU.

Thirdly, here are some notes you might wanna know to get a better grip of the story. Some quick footnotes:

-Spiral Soul happens five months after the end of Spiral Terra (stated in the Spiral Soul PV), which was in December. 

-Spiral Soul is the seventh entry in the CCEU while Spiral Terra is the fifth since "Cardfight!! Vanguard: Re:Isekai" only came out after Spiral Terra started. The story of Re:Isekai still happens in 2019 whiel Spiral Terra happens in 2046, but Spiral Terra is the fifth entry while Re:Isekai is the sixth since Spiral Terra, as a book, came out many months before Re:Isekai.

-The Prologue does not happen before #1, it happens during the actual story.

-IchiJou was canon, you're welcome.

That's about it. So just kick back, look out for the weekly chapter every sunday (starting August 11th) and enjoy Spiral Soul.

Thanks for reading and I'll see you later. Bye bye!

Ryuzaki: This marks Shida's 100th outro change.
