Nistro agrees to this , saying that he has a score to settle with someone . Mr . Heartland seems slightly suspicious , but decides to let them join anyway . While walking out , Dextra asks Nistro if he was referring to Yuma . Nistro responds that she was correct , thinking how Yuma defeated them both last time with his " Number " . Dextra also realizes that Nistro is using a different Deck and asks him why he is not using the Deck Mr . Heartland gave him .
