Hello there! My name is Hiro DS, your author of this story. So this my first story on but I do except all bad comments towards this story. I have been planning this story for a long time so heck why not write it out.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh, Duel Monsters or Yugioh GX. But I do own Taku S. Yamikage.
Clearing his throat with a few coughs the tall forty-three year old man began to speak loud and clearly so that every one in the Duel Dome could hear. This was a very special day for him and his guests: who were all around fifteen year old teenagers about to embark on a journey to an academy.
"Welcome to the Duel Academy Entrance Exams!" he spoke loudly. With his black eyes he examined each and every boy and girl in the dome. "I am Vice-Principal…"
"Where is the Principal?" asked one of the boys nearest to the stage.
The Vice-Principal sighed and rubbed his ruby coloured hair on the top of his head. "How can I explain this…"
"Well normally the Principal starts off the Exams." said a girl near the back. "My older brother told me so."
"Well he is very busy these days…"
"So busy he can't make it to the Exams?" asked a boy from the left side of the giant room.
"Yes to busy…Now with out any more interruptions…" he stopped and waited to see if one of the teenagers had something else to say.
"I have a question?" asked a boy to the far right of the room.
"Questions will be asked later." one of the men behind the Vice-Principal snapped.
"Thank You Shoseki." the Vice-Principal said. He cleared his throat once again and continued his introduction from before. "My name is Vice-Principal Fuzen but you may call me Fuzen-Sensei if you wish."
"Now as you may all already know, you will have to pass two tests: a written one and a practical one." He paused for a moment to clear his throat once again. "The written test will have fifty questions and the practical one will be a duel against one of our proctors or teachers." he explained pointing to the men and women behind him.
"Now after the test you will have four different paths to take depending on your results." Fuzen explained. "If your results are over 85, you will be placed in the top dorm of the academy: Obelisk Blue. Or if your results are a bit lower then such you will a member of the middle dorm: Ra Yellow. But if your results are lower then 50, you will join the lowest class: Osiris Red." he paused before continuing. "And if your results are very…no extremely poor, you will not be able to join this year."
There were a few gasps from the teenagers. They didn't think it was possible to not be accepted.
"I'm going to be accepted with out a sweat!" a boy cried out.
"The written test will begin in twenty minutes so go directly to the examination room." ordered a woman behind the Vice-Principal with long black hair tied in a ponytail behind her head.
The teenagers quickly began to walk towards the test room where they would have to answer fifty questions. "No electronics!" snapped the same female teacher as she walked by a boy playing his Nintendo DS.
"But I was practicing my dueling abilities." he complained.
"No electronics." she repeated and walked off.
The boy sighed and messed up his short black hair. He was a white skinned boy with dark blue eyes and was around 163 centimetres tall, an average height for a fifteen year old. This was his first time that he was going to enter Duel Academy.
He walked with pride down the hallway, his Duel Disk on his wrist and his Deck and Side Deck in his pocket. He was certain that he would be accepted in the Academy if it continued going smoothly as this. He wore a black, short sleeved vest with a white t-shirt under and some light blue jean shorts.
"Taku Yamikage is in the house!" he screamed as he entered the test room. Immediately a teacher gave him a cross look and walked off. "Well aren't we polite." he giggled and went off to find a seat.
Taku was the youngest of three kids: his brother who was the oldest, his sister who was in the middle and he was dead last. It was impossible for him to have another brother or sister because his parents were dead do to a terrible plane crash. He and his sister lived with their uncle in this small town of Japan while his brother was traveling the world doing the thing him and Taku loved best: playing Duel Monsters.
"I'm going to make you proud Anikii!" Taku said looking up at the ceiling.
"Who are you talking to?" asked a female voice.
"Nobody." Taku replied not even bothering to look at the girl and walked to find a seat. He found one near the front of the room and waited.
A teacher walked up on the stage and cleared her throat. "Very well I want no cheating and silence for an hour. We will not retrieve any tests until the hour is finished." she explained.
A few teachers and proctors walked down the side of the room handing out the tests. Taku reached in his pocket for a pen and wrote his name on the paper when he received.
"You may begin…now!" she announced.
Taku answered at the first question, he then went on to the next one…and the next one…and the next one… Finally an hour had passed.
"Please hand in your papers." the female teacher ordered. Taku looked over his answers quickly and gave his test to one of the passing teachers. Taku quickly ran out of the room before the traffic jam began.
"Thank god that's over with." he sighed.
"Please make your way to the Duel Fields." the teacher cried before the first few teens left the room, which included Taku. Taku shrugged and went on to the Duel Fields.
"I hope I'm dueling first." he said entering the large room with seven giant Duel Fields.
"First up is…Siritu Mishino on field 1." A girl walked up to the giant Duel Fields. Taku shrugged and wondered what he could do to make time go faster.
"Might as well watch some duels…but first, bathroom break." he said running off to the bathroom.
Taku returned relieved and sat down in one of the spectator seats. 'Might as well go watch some duels.' he told himself. On Field 2 a boy had raised his life points all the way up to 10300 while the examiner had 6700 life points.
"White Magician Pikeru (1200/0) effect now activates." the boy announced. "For each monster on my side of the field I gain 400 life points. So I have Zolga (1700/1200) and Fire Princess (1300/1500) on the field with me!" he said pointing to a strange purple cloak Cyclops and a princess dressed in orange robs and holding a magical staff. "Giving me a grand total of 1200 extra life points." The boy's life points increased to 11500. "And now my Fire Princess' ability jumps in like always you loose 500 life points because I gained some life points." The examiner's life points dropped to 6200 as the princess of fire blasted a ball of flame from her staff.
"Well done young duelist." congratulated the examiner.
Taku turned his attention to Field 3 were a girl was dueling and she seemed to have some troubles with her duel. She only had 300 life points left with only two cards face down between her and her life points. While the examiner had a healthy 7400 life points with Android Psycho Shocker (2400/1500) with the ability to negate all trap cards; she also had a card face down.
'Poor her…she is going to loose.' Taku thought looking at her duel.
Meanwhile, on Duel Academy Island a meeting was behind held. Seto Kaiba was not present like all the other years because this one was a secret meeting. Seating at the round table where three men and three women each dressed his black suits or skirts. But at the far end of the room, sitting in his own personal chair was the principal himself. His figure was the only thing the six other members of the meeting could see in the darkness.
"Giving some more rum and sake!" he ordered. The door opened, and light came in the room but not enough o see the principal's face. A nurse dressed in a pink uniform came in with a bottle of rum in one hand and a bottle of sake in the other.
"Sir I believe you had enough alcohol today." she said.
"Nobody tells me what to do but myself!" the principal barked at the nurse as she left the room with nothing in her hands.
"Shall we begin?" asked one of the women at the table. The room fell into darkness again with only a tiny light in the middle of the table to light the room.
"I thought we had already begun!" the principal said chugging down one of the bottles.
"Yes sir but…" said one of the men.
"I hate that word: 'but'!" the principal snapped smashing the bottle on the ground. "No buts! Now this is a secret meeting so nobody must speak with this to anybody…not even Seto Kaiba!"
"Yes boss." said one of the women.
"Good, now the new students should be arriving late this afternoon correct?" asked the principal.
"That is correct." answered the 'but' man.
"Well then we better finish this quick." the principal answered.
Back at the Entrance Exam, Taku had not yet dueled his duel. 'This is taking awhile!' he complained to himself. Already two hours had passed since the written test.
"Bored child?" asked a familiar voice.
Taku looked over his shoulder and shrugged. "I guess Fuzen-sensei." Taku answered to the Vice-Principal.
"Well good luck in your duel." Fuzen grinned and walked off.
"Wait!" Taku called out.
Fuzen stopped walking and turned his head to look at Taku. "Yes?" he asked.
"Why isn't the principal here?" Taku questioned. Fuzen just gave a grin with a chuckle and walked off. "And I thought adults were supposed to be polite." Taku rolled his eyes and continued watching the duels.
Taku took out his deck and began to review it for the fifth time today. He was getting extremely bored and wanted to duel so badly! Reviewing his trap cards, then his spell cards and finally his monster card.
"This is taking too long!" Taku cried out.
"Taku Yamikage?" asked one of the proctors. Taku head turned to his right and stood up.
"That's me." he said.
"You're up on Field 7." the proctor told him.
Taku grinned. "Lucky number seven." Taku laughed and started to run towards the stated field. "I'm going to win this duel!"
Well that is Chapter 1 for yah. Hope you all enjoyed. Please review!
