It's the end.

My body is trembling. It's omnipotent, looming over me.

I can't turn back. It lowers its jaw, releasing the light from within its mouth into a concentrated beam firing directly at my eyes. But they open, finding me in my same old room. It must've been a dream.

I get out of my irritatingly small bed, turning almost immediately to my mirror. My red hair is in a mess; my red shirt gives off a nasty odour that could spread to even the bottom of my black jeans. I swap out my red shirt with another and head out to the academy.

As I walk the crevasses of the academy island grounds, I notice a waving figure in the distance.

?: Hey, Jigeno!

I could tell from the bright tone that it'd be Faita Yujinki, he's a little naïve but he's a true fighter.

Faita: Jigeno, you always have the expression of a downer! Are you tired?

Jigeno: Nightmares,

Faita: Ah, but we've made it, we always wanted to be in a duelling academy and now we are!

Jigeno: Well, I guess… But I just can't get this vibe out of my head. Something seems wrong in this academy.

Faita: Maybe you're just thinking too much, Jigeno. This is your first day, I don't think it'll be that bad. You've dreamed of this!

Jigeno: Alright, I guess you're right. But I think we should go to the card shop before heading to class, we don't have a deck & cards seem to cost school credits around here instead of real cash.

Faita: Alrighty! Well it's just to the left of here according to the map…

After a quick peep to see if it's open. Jigeno & Faita head into the shop.

The clerk finishes speaking with a customer and welcomes Jigeno & Faita

Clerk: Howdy! Welcome to the School store!

Faita: Hiya, Jigeno & I would like to use the starting credits to buy ourselves our first decks on the academy!

Clerk: Well, alrighty! What pack would you like? First year students are given access to 3 packs; Dragon Dunes, Devils Breaker & Ballad of the Misfits!

Faita: How about I have 5 of the 'Ballad of the Misfits'! Jigeno, what do you want to get?

Jigeno: I think I'm happy with 'Ballad of the Misfits' aswell.

Clerk: Okey dokey! Just hand me your student ID's and I can make the purchase!

Jigeno: Ok.

The cashier makes a beeping sound and the ID's are given back.

Faita: Thanks!

Jigeno: Yeah, thanks!

Clerk: Bye!

Faita & Jigeno open their packs, after a lot of interesting cards, Jigeno pulls a Ghost rare card he hasn't seen before.

Jigeno: What…

Faita: A GHOST Rare? Are you serious? Awesome pull, man!

Jigeno: Not that, I've just never seen this card before.

Jigeno: Dimensional Child – Torf the Omega… Apparently it's an entire archetype?

Faita: Cool!

Jigeno: Sadly I can't use it, though. I don't have another "Dimensional" monster to use its effect.

Faita: So what DOES it do?

Jigeno: I'll read it word for word for ya, 'You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard to send one "Dimensional" monster from your Deck to your Graveyard, then target one "Dimensional" card in your Deck, add that target to your hand."

Faita: Well it sucks you can't use it!

Jigeno: I guess, but we should head to roll call now.

Faita: Aighty!
