Work In Progress

Yu-Gi-Oh! Ω
After her graduation from the university, she was offered to either work abroad in a big business, or to stay in the university as a postgraduate student. She rejected the offer to work abroad, because she realized everything she learnt during those 4 years, besides the knowledge she obtained in the university.

Ω'' storyline. If she wins, she can do what she pleases, though if she loses, she will forcibly work abroad. After being overwhelmed by Jack's Synchro Monsters, she miraculously drew a card she didn't have in her deck before; the card was called "Kappa Hunter - Maria", and thanks to that card, she won the Duel. Now, she is able to work in the university as a research student.

After her duel with Jack, Ariel met with a person, called Brandon, who was a friend with Professor Griffin and Professor Fitzgerald, two people that Ariel cares much, not normally for a relationship between professor and student. He challenged her to a duel, as a last chance on going to the big business.
