Weeks pass, and he doesn't catch a single card.
When cards become active, he goes looking. They just disappear before he gets there.
He's getting worried, and he's not sure he's satisfied with Kero's explanations.

Weeks pass, and he doesn't catch a single card.
When cards become active, he goes looking. They just disappear before he gets there.
He's getting worried, and he's not sure he's satisfied with Kero's explanations.
He tries to focus on school.
"If you say so. You seem pretty smart, so I think I have to trust your judgment."
They do! And the humdrum of daily life happens to be the weekend, and although Alistair doesn't have any way to contact the cardcaptor and his friend he does go to the same school as them.
So, after a weekend of magic testing and learning, and most of a school day, Sadde ditches his last class to wait in front of Alistair's school.
The cardcaptor's friend is apparently ditching class, given the way he's sneaking back into the school when he spots Sadde.
"Shouldn't you be in class, young man?"
Sadde realizes the boy probably won't recognize him... and decides to milk this. "I should say the same to you."
"I'm actually an agent of a family of sorcerers scouting this school for its magical secrets."
"Good for you. Trouble is, we already have five of those. Magical secret agents really like pretending to be high schoolers."
"Here's one: find a less boring school to scout. I hear they've got three whole magical secrets the next town over."
He starts trying to climb into one of the windows.
This doesn't go well for him.
"No, that was awful, I don't even know what that means. Ignore me."
He continues trying to break into the building he's required to be in.
"I'm trying to sneak back into class so the stupid rich kid with his stupid superiority complex doesn't have more ammo when we meet up later. Shouldn't you be trying to sell me drugs by now?"
"I felt like getting a bite to eat and not experiencing the wonders of school. Any reason besides dealing for hanging around someone else's school?"
