Jude listened to Ace's explanation with great interest.  "Millennium Item?  I've never heard of that kind of magic before, and I know most of them.  Where did you learn to do something that powerful?"<br/>Pride's voice was acerbic.  --You've never heard of it before because it's based on a thousand-year-old-cartoon.  Whatever he's dealing with clearly wanted to choose a form he'd be comfortable with.--<br/>--Peace, Pride.  You're just angry because your grand gambit fell apart.  Now, Jude, why don't you do the friendly thing and challenge him to a match?  Pride is surely an expert on the rules, and I<em>know</em>you've got the necessary spells in that book of yours.--<br/>--True.  You need something to pass the time until your friends arrive, right?  And it might give you a chance to see just what he's capable of.--
