CHAPTER 1
NEW AT THE ACADEMY
The ship finally arrived. After what has seemed to be an endless travel, the ship docked at the port. A young guy went down looking at the sky
"A bright sunny day… guess it's a good sign for starting" he thought while walking toward a strange man who was waiting a few meters away
"Hello, I'm Dr. Chronos" the man said when they faced. His first impression hasn't been wrong. He was a tall thin man, wearing a long blue coat, with a long ponytail and…
"Is that purple lipstick?"the guy asked himself after looking at his face
"And you must be Konami Hatou I guess" the man named Chronos added
"Indeed" Konami answered. "It's nice to meet you"
"Come, I have to take you to the Chancellor's office" the man said as he turned around and began to walk
"What a nice man they send to take me" Konami thought ironically
They both walked all the way to a very big building without saying a word, what made him wonder if everybody there would be like that. He found his worries to be false when he arrived at a really big office where a fat, bald man received him with a big smile on his face
"You must be Konami Hatou, I'm Chancellor Samejima. I'm glad you finally arrived. Hope the travel hasn't been very uncomfortable" he said while shaking Konami's hand
"Well… It's been a bit long, but it will worth it, I hope" he answered
"Of course it will" the man replied while laughing."Welcome to the Duel Academy, where you will learn all the secrets from dueling and achieve your goals for the future"
Konami nodded politely without saying anything else
"We were really surprised when we received a personal petition from KaibaCorp asking for your acceptance in the academy although the time for new students solicitude had finished. You must have done something really important in order to belong that kind of treatment"
Konami looked away feeling uncomfortable. He didn't like the idea of having entering by a favour instead of by showing his attitudes for dueling. He was going to work hard for showing he deserved to be there
"May I ask what it is?" the Chancellor asked
"Erm…"Konami said trying to find out how to get away from the question. His past was something he didn't like to talk about
"It's something personal, I can see" the Chancellor commented viewing Konami's reaction."Sorry for asking. Anyway, since you were accepted in special circumstances, I'm afraid we must treat you as an exchange student, what means you will have to stay in the Slifer dorm
"It won't be a problem, Sir" Konami answered
"Good to hear it. Now, since classes are already over, Dr. Chronos will take you to your dorm. You will find your staff and your new uniform there, and tomorrow you will be able to start with your classes."
He left the office after that, following Chronos until they arrived at a building with red roof and a lot of doors, again without saying a word. There was another man there waiting, tall, thin, with dark hair and glasses, holding a very fat cat that seemed to be asleep
"Mr. Daitokuji" Chronos said "this is our new student, Konami Hatou. I'll leave you the rest of his accommodation". And without saying one more word, he turned away and left
"Hello, I'm Professor Daitokuji, and I'm in charge of the Red dorm" the new man said
"I'm Konami Hatou, nice to meet you"
"Same here. Well, let's see, your room is number 204, dinner starts in at 7 p.m. I'll let you unpack and explore the area, but don't be late for dinner or you won't have any when you arrive"
What a strange man" Konami thought. "Are all teachers here so weird?"
Lost in his thoughts, he arrived at what he thought was room number 204 and opened the door. He really surprised when he came in and found three guys inside staring at him.
"Umm… Isn't this room 204?" he asked
"No, this is 201" one of the guys answered. He was a little smaller than him, with a strange hair that reminded him of a Kuriboh
"Crap, sorry for the mistaking" Konami apologized
"Don't worry" the guy answered." Hey, I've never seen you around here before, are you new?"
"Yes" he answered "just about an hour ago. I'm Konami Hatou, nice to meet you"
"I'm Judai Yuki, nice to meet you too. And these are Sho Mafuyu and Maeda Hayato" The guy said pointing at a small light blue haired guy behind him and a big koala lookalike guy laying on the top bed of their bunk bed"
"Hello" they both said
"Come, we'll show you where your room is" Judai said as he stood up and exit the room
"Don't worry, there's no need, I think I can find it by myself" Konami answered feeling a little uncomfortable with such a big confident towards him
"It's nothing, as friends we have to help each other"
"OK, when did we become such good friends?"Konami thought as he began to follow Judai
It didn't take too long to find his room, in fact it was just two doors away. Judai came in as if he was in his own one and said "Here it is. And it seems to be all for you, you don't have any roommates"
"Lucky you" Sho whispered behind him
"OK, now that you've found your room, what do you say about a welcome duel?"Judai asked with bright eyes
"Come on Aniki, he's just arrived and he must be tired, let him take it easy. Furthermore, you dueled that Manjoume guy last night, can't you be calmed for just one day?" Sho replied
Konami silently thanked that blue haired guy for saying that. He really was tired, and actually wasn't in the mood for a duel right now
"Mmm… I guess you are right Sho. OK, see you for dinner?
"Erm yeah, why not"
"OK, see you then"
They both left, finally leaving Konami with some peace. He checked out what was in the room: His staff was already there, as also his new red uniform and a brand new duel disk. After unpacking he laid on the bed, ready for taking a nap
"That Judai guy seems to be nice" someone suddenly said
Konami opened one eye and saw who had just talked. It was a small girl dressed with a white magician dress
"She's right, but also a little too enthusiastic" another voice added as a strange man with a white mask and blue spiky hair appeared. A third one also showed up, this one with a red magician dress, a sword and a shield, but didn't say anything
There they were, his beloved spirits. Silent Magician, Madoor and Breaker.
"Guys, do we have to talk about his now?" Konami complained while closing his eye "I want to rest a bit"
"Come on, you haven´t talked to us in the hole day" Silent Magician replied
"After dinner"
"You stupid jerk" Silent magician said angrily while the three of them disappeared back into their cards
He was running without knowing where to go. Everybody around him was shouting while an absolute chaos was happening around. Suddenly, a strange creature appeared just in front of him. Some kind of strange mummy with dark blue skin, partially covered with old and rotten bandages. He tried to escape, but he stumbled and fell to the floor. As he turned around the mummy was over him, bended and spreading it's arm to him. The hand was getting closer and closer…
A lot of hit noises awakened him. Someone was knocking his door like trying to break it down.
"Fuck, again that same dream" Konami thought with his heart beating fastly. It wasn't the first time he had that dream. Always the same, the chaos, the shouting, the strange mummy…
"Hey Konami, it's Judai. We are going for dinner, are you coming" Judai shouted from outside
"Yes, just give me a few minutes" he replied
"Alright, see you now"
Konami closed his eyes, taking a deep breath trying to get the images away from his head and calming down from the experience. He got up and put on his new uniform jacket. There was also a red cap with the logo of the academy. He tried it on.
"It doesn't look bad on you" Silent Magician voice said" Redhat Konami" she added cheerfully
"Redhat Konami… Doesn't sound bad" he said, deciding to wear it from then long.
He went to the dinning room, which was at the roof floor under the rooms. When he entered Professor Daitokuji stood up from his seat and said out loud "Everybody listen for a sec. We've got a new student in the Slifer Red"
Everybody turned their heads to watch Konami
"OK, time to give a good impression here" Konami thought "Hi everybody, I'm Konami Hatou. It's good to be here and I hope we all will get along well" he added confidently.
It seemed to work, as most of people looking at him smiled when he finished
"Hey Konami come over here, I've taken something to eat for you" Judai shouted at him from one of the tables. He sat with them and had dinner while listening Judai talking the hole time. Maybe Silent Magician was right, he was a nice guy and with him things would be at least interesting at the academy. After dinner, he went back to his room and fell back asleep quickly again"

Next morning, he woke up at seven, an hour before class starting. He took a quickly shower and went to have breakfast. There, he found Sho alone, without Judai, what Konami thought was strange since that guy seemed to idealize him
"Morning" Konami said while seating in front of him "Aren't your roommates coming?"
"Who knows…? When Aniki is asleep there's no way to wake him up, and Hayato… well, let's say he doesn't like going to class" Sho answered
"I see… Well if we don't want to be late we should be going, sholudn't we?"
"Yeah, let's go"
They both went to the building together. Sho showed him where the different buildings where while going: the Ra dorm, the Obelisk dorm, the ladies dorm… The academy was way bigger he initially had thought it was. He also discovered Sho was a good guy, just a bit insecure about himself, but once you begin to know it, he was someone even funny. When they finally arrived at the central building and were about to enter, Konami saw a group of three girls wearing blue uniforms also in their way in.
"Wow, teachers here may be crazy, but girls seem to be way better" Konami thought while looking at the three girls. They were actually quite pretty.
As de five of them arrived at the entrance, Konami stepped back and said "please, ladies first" with a rogue smile
"Thank you" one of the girls said. She was tall, with long brown hair. The other two girls didn't say anything, they just walked in giving the two guys a fierce look, leaving Konami a bit confused. Is confusion grew bigger when an obelisk blue student pushed them when they were walking towards the classroom.
"Get out the way, Slifer scums" he shouted
"I don't get it, have we done something to blue students?"Konami asked Sho when they took seat in class
"No, don't worry, you will get used to it. It's just that they are the best dorm while we are the worst" Sho answered
"What, just for that?" Konami said surprised. "Just for our uniform colors? That's no sense!"
That's why the two girls had reacted that way and also why Dr. Chronos had been so rude when they met. "Just for a uniform, I can't believe it".
In that moment Chronos entered and walked to the front of the class.
"OK, everybody listen. Before we start today, we've got a new student. Konami Hatou, why don't you introduce yourself to everybody" Chronos said
Konami stood up, still angry for what he had just discovered and repeated what he said the night before to his dorm mates. "Hello everybody, I'm Konami Hatou. It's good to be here and I hope we all will get along well".
As he expected, the reaction was very different from last night. While the yellow students didn't say anything, a lot of disapproval comments spread quickly among the blue students.
"Silence" said out loud. "OK, to begin today let's remember what we saw yesterday…"
Suddenly the class door opened with a bang and Judai entered breathless
"I'm sorry Dr. Chronos, I fell asleep" he said
"Judai Yuki, you useless lazy bastard!" Chronos shout angry "It is the third time you arrive late this week!"
Judai took a seat next to Sho, without a sign of worry in his face, as if he was used to hearing Chronos ranting about him. After the scene, the day went as expected from a school day, with Chronos trying to ridicule Slifer students and speaking lovely to his beloved Obelisk.
After that, Konami, Judai and Sho decided to go to the card shop, which Konami didn't know yet. As they were on their way, the same Obelisk that had pulled Konami in the morning did it again. "Enough" Konami though. He wasn't going to let anyone treat him that way
"Why don't you look after where you walk, jerk?" He said
"You dare to speak me that way?" the blue student answered
"You say it as if you were someone important"
"Someone should learn which is your position, red trash"
"Really? Then why don't you try to show me?"
"Do you think I'll waste my time dueling someone like you? I have better things to do"
"You speak very loud, but in the end you are just a coward, aren't you?"
"Alright useless Slifer, I'll show you how different our level is" the Blue student shouted while putting on his duel disk.
Konami took his out, put his deck in it and faced the guy
"DUEL" they both shouted
Blue guy- 4000LP x 5
Konami- 4000LP x 5
"I start" the Obelisk said "Draw"
TURN 1- Blue guy x 6
I specially summon Gilasaurus in attack mode. Then, I sacrifice it and summon Frostoraurus in attack mode.
A big long neck dinosaur made of ice appeared in the field
Frostosaurus- LV6- (2600/1700)
"I set two card face down and end my turn"
People around them began to speak with admiration; he had summoned a 6 stars monster in the first turn. Konami just stared at the field, everything but impressed.
"My turn, draw" he finally said
TURN 2- Konami x 6
"I play the Spell card, Heavy storm. This card allows me to destroy every magic and trap cards in the field". A strong typhoon appeared and destroyed the two set down cards."Then, I summon Gemini Elf, and I also discard one card from my hand to specially summon The Tricky from my hand" Two elves and a strange clown with masked face appeared on the field.
Gemini Elf- LV4- (1900/900)
The Tricky- LV5- (2000/1200)
"You should check your monsters again, useless. None of them is strong enough to beat my Frostosaurus" the blue guy said laughing at Konami"
"Now" Konami said ignoring him "I activate the Spell card Magical Dimension. I can only activate his card when I have a Spellcaster monster on the field. With this, I can sacrifice one monster and specially summon a Spellcaster from my hand, so I sacrifice Gemini Elf to summon Chaos Command Magician"
Chaos Command Magician- LV6- (2400/1900)
"You keep summoning monsters, but all of that is useless, as you do" the Blue Guy laughed again
Konami smiled. "Now comes the second part of the card. When I specially summon my monster, I can destroy another monster on the field"
"WHAT? Impossible!" the guy freaked out
"Now say goodbye to your Frostosaurus". The dinosaur shouted in agony as he disappeared consumed by darkness. "Battle phase. The Tricky and Chaos Command Magician attack him directly and end this duel!" The two monsters threw their spells, hitting the student and making him fall to the floor.
Blue guy- 0LP x 2
Konami- 4000LP x 0
Everybody ran mute. A Slifer had just beaten an Obelisk, and if that wasn't enough, it has been only in the second turn!
"This can't be true" The blue student said as he stood up "it's impossible. You must have cheated, that's the only possible explanation!"
"Cheated? How?" Konami asked without believing what he was hearing
"I don't need to know how, I just know you have!"
"That must be that, it's impossible for someone from the red dorm to do win like that" someone in the crowd surrendering them said
"Yeah, we don't want people like you here" another one added
Konami sighed, shook his head and faced his way to the card shop
"That was an awesome duel!"Sho said when he and Judai reached him
"Yeah, that Chaos Command Magician was awesome" Judai added
"I liked the Gemini Elf. They both looked sexy" Sho commented
Both Konami and Judai stared at him. Then Konami laughed and said "OK Sho, remind me I should never let you my cards"
"I didn't mean that way" Sho replied as he blushed "Just shut up and go to the shop"
-Spirit Caller-
Back in the night, Konami was lying on his bed trying to sleep, but he couldn't
"I can't believe they said I cheated as an excuse. Is it that hard to accept someone in the Slifer dorm is beat them?"
"They seem to take it as an insult to them" Madoor said as he appeared next to Konami's bed "Anyway, from now long you will be known as de cheater or as the Blue beater"
"You Know I don't care what others think or say about me" Konami replied downplaying it "Although I still prefer Redhat if I can choose" he added smiling
He stayed a few longer lying, but he finally got up and began to change his clothes
"Where are you going now?" Madoor asked
"I'm going for a walk. I can't sleep"
"But you aren't supposed to be outside at this hour"
"Come on, relax. Nobody will know"
"It's too soon to start getting in trouble don't you think?"
Konami ignored him. He put his trainers on, took his deck and get outside.
He decided to walk to the lighthouse, to see the ocean. That always relaxed him. But when he arrived, he realized he wasn't the only one there. Two students were already there talking. One of them Konami recognized was the brown haired girl that thanked him in the morning. They both also realized Konami was there and stopped talking, staring at him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to bother" Konami told them as he was going to leave
"You are Konami Hatou right" the girl asked him "I saw your duel today. Pretty impressive"
"Thank you… I'm sorry I didn't catch your name"
"I'm Asuka Tenjouin. And this one here is Kaiser Ryo" she said pointing at the guy that was with him
Konami stared at him. He didn't say anything, he was just looking at him seriously, without moving, as if he was made of stone. Something about him bothered Konami. He didn't know why but he had the feeling that they were not going to get along well.
"So you don't think I cheated?" Konami finally asked to Asuka
"No, I think you won fairly"
Konami smiled "Well, it's good to know there are Obelisk students who can accept it. Anyway, I should go. I don't want to interrupt your date more"
"Date? No, this is not what you are thinking" Asuka replied as she blushed
"Yeah, sure. Then, enjoy your none-date" Konami laughed as walking away waving his hand as a goodbye
"Konami Hatou…" Kaiser commented as Konami had already left "It seems that the Slifer dorm has some interesting students this year"
"Yes, you are right" Asuka agreed "You are very right" she thought to herself
