Headmaster and Son

Merriment and laughter bounced off of houses as the children laughed and moved around like gas particles. Some were more like solids, clumping together, then deteriorating and moving like air does again. Among the laughs were words; friendship. Not a single bad thing amongst the children of all ages; up to middle school, even. When the laughter had stopped, a bell had rung that echoed louder than any of their voices. They all turned, a gate behind them as they looked at a burgundy building with brilliant architecture. The support beams holding the entire upper floor branched out into the outside area like legs; a circle parted the first and second floors, and the rooftop corners were pointed and extended. The children ran inside the automatic doors, an elegant, prestigious academy their new backdrop. Light gold and crimson red as far as the eye could see; emblems were black and green, but one thing stayed the same.

A symbol of a comic book like 'DA'. A star was under the A. It had been the symbol for the Duel Academy for years. This one, was a very highly ranked location out of the chain. Outside of the classic symbol was even more light gold lining and crimson banners. On one banner was a line reading 'Arcadia'. The Duel Academy Arcadia. The addition to the title was rather fitting. The school was to shape private duel academies around the world. There was also a club for those who wished to be teachers at Arcadia Academy or any of the other private schools. (The other line of Duel Academies were known for their...enthusiastic teachers.)

So may doors, so many different classes. It was mostly kids to pre-teens; high schoolers got their own building to condone bullying. The classes were sorted by your dueling skills; the ages varied from class to class. So many kids rushing to their rooms, but as they all dispersed, one boy became the focus. His brown hair was vivid against the scenery; the top of it was a lighter color than the rest. His brown eyes were bright along with his smile as he ran, dressed in sweat pants and a sweatshirt. The boy was accepted for being a prodigy; no money, and he wasn't even invited in for dueling skills.

"Headmaster! Headmaster!" He shouted, having an older man who was facing the steps to an upper level turn to face him. The boy stopped in front of him, looking up. He only went up to his kneecaps in height. He looked at his feet and held up a card.

"Look at what I got in my booster pack today!" He cheered. The Headmaster kneeled lower a bit to see the card, revealing his quiet red hair.

"Wow; seems like a great card, Jaden. She looks rather mean."

"She's not mean; she's nice!" He cheered, "How would you know what she's like? I'm the one who can talk to her! Later!"

And Jaden ran off to go join his class. The Headmaster smirked; his gray eyes showing his true, dark intentions.

"A boy who can talk to duel spirits..." He turned to face the stairs, "Rather unique, isn't he..."

A boy with dress shoes and long socks stood. He wore shorts and a buttoned up coat with a frilly shirt hiding a part of his neck. His hair was spiked up with gold streaks, and the boy's eyes were a vivid blue.

"...Yusei?"

The boy spoke; "Yes, Father."
