Yu-Gi-Oh! Prodigy of a Duelist
Chapter1: The new Duel Academy owner and the Prodigy known as Daisuke
It had been a little over 50 years since the 27 year old Hiroshi Kaiba had taken over the Duelist Academy in Seto Kaiba's death. He had taken great care of it and it had prospered and become even better than it once was. Many Duelists had set their goals to entering and Graduating from this Academy, which was so well known. But it was the time where ownership was going to be transferred to a new Kaiba.
In a large Kaiba Corp. building stood a man who seemed to be in his late twenties, a girl that had looked to be in her early twenties, and another girl who still looked as if she was a teenager. In front of them was an older gentleman who looked as though he had much power, which he did. He wore a fine suit with everything done to perfection. They were having a meeting.
"I am growing old, my children. And I think it is time for a new owner of the Duelist Academy to be chosen. The three of you are my children, and you are going to be the heirs to my thrown. I have already made my decision… Atsuko will become the new owner Duelist Academy." The older gentleman said without hesitation.
"Her? Why her? I am the eldest child and even the better duelist out of us three." The eldest sibling said.
"Yes, but you were given Kaiba Corporation. And Kayo is too young. And don't forget to add that she is actually the Headmaster of the Obelisk Blue dorm." The old man had replied.
"And what is your point?" Keiichi responded angrily.
"You have done absolutely nothing to support it. I will announce that she will become the new Headmaster to the Duelist Academy."
"Thank you father, I will do my best to take care of it!" Atsuko responded, paying no attention to her greedy older brother.
After the meeting was over, Hiroshi walked with Atsuko and was talking to her. He then smiled and pulled out 4 cards and handed them over to Atsuko. "These three cards are now yours. You can use them if you wish, but it is your job to base a deck around them."
"Thank you, father!" She said happily again.

She had been in control for weeks and it was around the time of year for new entrants. Almost everyone in the Academy went to go see the new entrants take the entrant exams and see who will be entering what dorms. Among the entrants was a Duelist by the name of Daisuke Yasushi. He had the luck of receiving a deck from his grandfather after he had passed away; the deck was actually quite powerful. He was known for winning and placing in many American and Japanese tournaments and was actually one of the few Duelists that were being watched. His Duel was about to begin.
Daisuke, please enter arena 33 for your Entrance Exam! Announced the loud speaker. He sat there momentarily then slowly stood up and went to the area in which his Duel was to take place.
"Greetings Daisuke." A man in a Blue jacket said standing a few feet in front of him. "I am second year Yoshio and I'll be your Dueling proctor. I am using a test deck for this Duel, so don't get too overconfident if you win. Give me all you got."
"Of course. Duel!" Daisuke said as his Duel disk activated and he drew 5 cards from his deck.
"I'll go ahead and go first!" He said as he drew a sixth card. "Yes, a great hand to start, watch out, because I'm going to start by playing, Wasteland! This card increases the Attack and Defense of all my Dino's by 200! And don't think for a moment that is all I'm going to do! I'll Summon Babycerasaurus in defense mode and end my turn!"
Babycerasaurus, level 2//Earth, Dinosaur, Effect//ATK500+200, DEF500+200
"My move." Daisuke said quietly as he drew a card and looked. "Alright, I'll start by summoning Newdoria in Attack."
Newdoria, level 4//Dark, Fiend, Effect//ATK1200, DEF800
"Now Newdoria, attack his Babycerasaurus!" He commanded as Newdoria destroyed the baby dinosaur type monster. "I'll lay a face-down and end my turn." He said.
Yashio – 4000; 5
Daisuke – 4000; 4
Yashio drew a card and then looked up. "Now I'll summon Little D, in attack mode."
Little D, level 3//Earth, Dinosaur//ATK1100+200, DEF 700+200
"And with the bonus I get from Wasteland, he has enough attack points to defeat your Newdoria! Now, Little D, attack his Newdoria!"
"And that triggers Newdoria's special ability!" Daisuke said with little enthusiasm. "When Newdoria is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, he takes a monster with him. And the only monster I see is that Little D." The Newdoria was destroyed and then a hand came from underneath Little D and buried him along with Newdoria.
"I forgot all about that effect! I'll play a face-down and end my turn."
Yashio – 4000; 3
Daisuke – 3900; 4
"My turn. First, I'll start by summoning Zure, Knight of Dark World." He said, still showing little Enthusiasm.
Zure, Knight of Dark World, level 4//Dark, Fiend//ATK1800 DEF1500
"Now Zure, attack his Life Points Directly!" He commanded as the Zombie looking knight slashed Yashio with it's sword.
"Ahhh!" He winced as he took the direct attack. "Now I'll activate my trap card, Fossil Excavation! First, I discard a card from my hand and then I get to special summon a monster from my Graveyard to the field. And I'll chose my old friend Babycerasaurus!"
Babycerasaurus, level 2//Earth, Dinosaur, Effect//ATK500+200, DEF500+200
"I'll go ahead and end my turn." Daisuke said.
Yashio – 2200; 2
Daisuke – 3900; 4
"Well kid, sorry to say. But you've lost this one." He said as he drew his card. "First I'll play Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two cards. And then I'll play the Spell Card, Big Evolution Pill. What this does is simple… first, I sacrifice 1 face-up Dinosaur type monster on my side of the field. After that, this card remains on the field for three turns and allows me to summon Dinosaur's without any tributes. So say hello to my Super-Ancient Dinobeast!"
Super-Ancient Dinobeast, level 7//Earth, Dinosaur, Effect//ATK2700 DEF1400
"Now my Dinosaur, attack!"
"Not so fast." Daisuke interrupted. "I'll activate my trap card, Hate Buster. I can activate this card when you target one of my Fiend type creatures. Instead of your attack going through, I can destroy both mine and your creature. And as a bonus, you take damage equal to the number of attack points your Dinosaur had originally, which is 2700, making me the winner of this Duel.
Yashio – 0
Daisuke – 3900
Winner, Daisuke
The crowd erupted from their seats and started cheering loudly at the Duelist who had just won his match only losing 100 life points. But what had impressed them the most was the person he had defeated. Yashio was one of the better Duelists among the second years and was one of the only two second year Duelists allowed to be protectors at the event. And so it was, Daisuke joining the Duelist Academy.

Around the time Yashio had won his match, another guy was finishing his match. That man was none other than some 12 year old child prodigy from America named Billy Winston. The kid didn't have a single creature stronger than 1800, but he had one of the legendary decks known as, Ben Kei. It was a deck that revolved around a One Turn Kill using the card Armed Samurai - Ben Kei.
Duel Proctor – 4000
Billy Winston – 2300
"I think I can go ahead and win the Duel now." Billy said very confidently. I'll play the card, Giant Trunade, and send your two face-down cards to your hand, and my four face-down cards to my hand. And now I'll summon, Armed Samurai - Ben Kei in attack."
Armed Samurai - Ben Kei level 4//Dark, Warrior, Effect//ATK500 DEF800
"Then I will play two Mage Powers, two Axe of Despairs, and one Shooting Star Bow – Ceal on him. In all, his attack points have become 6,500." All that apposed him was a Red Eyes Black Dragon. "Now, thanks to the effect of my Shooting Star Bow – Ceal, I can attack your Life Points directly. And now Ben Kei, finish the duel!" He said as the monster attacked directly and ended the duel in a bang.
"Don't you think you went a little overboard kid?" The proctor said.
"Nah, I was just enjoying the moment. I couldn't help myself. For a second, I thought you were going to beat me."
"How? You had all those Equip Spell Cards and waited until you had Ben Kei to use them? You could have won way before that."
"Well, Ben Kei is my favorite." He said with a smile. His evilness had subsided. Somehow, it left when the Duel was over.
Two Weeks Later:
"Ah, so you're in the Ra Yellow dorm too huh?" Billy said to Daisuke who was sitting alone.
Daisuke said nothing. He continued to sit there in peace.
"Hello!" Billy yelled.
"Give it a rest Billy. He isn't going to talk to you." Another person in a blue jacket said walking toward them.
"Yeah, I know Blake." He said looking at his older brother who had also joined this year.
"Do the two of you mind?" Daisuke said looking at them aggravated.
"What is your problem Daisuke? We were only trying to be nice." Billy said.
"I told you to give it up Billy."
"No. I won't! I challenge you to a Duel!" Billy barked out to Daisuke.
"Go away. I'm not in the mood today." Daisuke said, standing up and walking away himself.
"I wonder whats wrong with him. I'm gonna go ahead and talk to him lil bro. You go ahead and stay here." Blake said happily.
Blake ran and caught up to Daisuke and walked next to him silently.
"Forgive my lil bro. He gets like that sometimes." Blake finally said.
"Forgive what? I'm the one having the bad day." Daisuke said unhappily.
"What is wrong with you?"
"I deserve Obelisk Blue, but they said they didn't see enough of my deck. So I'm stuck in Ra Yellow." He said in anger.
"That is nothing to be angry about! At least you're not a Slifer Red, right?"
"I might as well be. That is pretty much what they are telling me."
"How about this… Go challenge an Obelisk Blue member and let everyone see the match. That should prove your strength. My lil bro should have been an Obelisk too, but since he waited until he drew his favorite card to win… they said he wasn't ready. That he still has a lot to learn. Which I agree with."
"How about I challenge you?" Daisuke said looking up at him.
"Challenge me? You might wanna challenge one of the second or third years. This is my first day here too."
"Then you must be strong. I'll challenge you and show you what I'm made of!"
"I might not be a suitable opponent. You see, I have a One Turn Kill deck."
"One turn kill deck?"
"Yes, a deck based solely around a combo that wins in one turn. It could happen any turn, even the first."
"I see. So you have one of the strongest decks in the school then?"
"Well, it all depends on the draw. I'm not gonna put anyones deck down. Even a Slifer Red could beat me if they drew the right cards."
"I see. I would like to see you in a Duel, and who better to face than me?"
"I'm going to have to admit. I've studied your deck. Your deck has no chance against mine. You would lose."
"You never know until you try."
"You're not getting it kid. You can't defeat my deck. I could beat you within 3 turns."
"Then your afraid?" Daisuke said, now showing enthusiasm.
"Yes, I'm terrified. Now go challenge someone at a level closer to your own." Blake said as he walked away not making any move to look back at Daisuke.
Daisuke ran off, searching for an opponent he could face when he saw someone just sitting there sleeping. He walked up to him. "Would you care to Duel?"
"Wh-what!?" The kid said as he fell to the ground. "Hey, why are you challenging me kid? You're only a Ra, I'm an Obelisk. You couldn't ever hope to defeat me. Plus, I'm this schools number 4 second year Duelist. I'm almost one of the strongest Duelists here."
"I don't care, let's Duel!" Daisuke said.
"Okay kid, we can Duel. But I want everyone to watch me humiliate you. I'll go make a request form and in a couple days, we'll Duel in front of a crowd. Enjoy your first couple of days in class. After this, you'll be looked down upon as the loser who challenged me, T.R. Raptor!"
"T.R. Raptor?" Daisuke said.
"Yes, I'm T.R. Raptor. I use a Dino deck that won't lose to the likes of you. It is a deck that has been passed down through my family, originally owned by the Duelist Rex Raptor. He had faced Yugi Moto in his time. Which means my deck is all powerful!" The boy said as he walked away laughing. "Be ready to lose this Duel kid. I'm going to stomp you, into dust."
3 days later in the Obelisk Blue Arena
"Get ready to get your butt kicked!" T.R. said standing there drawing 5 cards from his deck to his hand.
"I won't lose, don't you worry!" Daisuke said confidently drawing his 5 cards.
"Duel!" They both said, beginning the Duel between students. Everyone in the crowd watching and cheering for T.R.
T.R. – 4000; 5
Daisuke – 4000; 5
