Yu-Gi-Oh! DT Academy

by Yamilord

DT Academy is about a 16 year old called Yujin Shojiki as he enrolls one of the biggest Duel Academies in the world, but this place does seem to have more going on then just class! The fanfic takes place is a separate universe then the Anime OR Manga. The game itself will be more like real life TCG, and therefore will feature no fancards. But overall it's still the same.

1. Chapter 1: And so it begins

"Are you sure you want to go?" A distinctly female voice said.

"Yes, I told you it's nothing to worry about, just need to do an easy test and I'll be ready to go." The voice of what seems to be from a teenage boy replied.

Another voice sighed and looked at the teenager, this one was male too like the teenager, but was obviously the voice of an adult. "Well, it's been your dream for years, so we can't stop you. Just don't forget, even if you don't make it to the top, we'll still support you."

Now the teenager sighed. "I told you, you don't need to worry. Just going to need to do that test. You guys have been supporting me for years. If I go there I can maybe repay you guys back for all these years. It's the least I can do."

The woman sniffed a bit. "Just be careful okay?"

"Of course, I'll be completely safe there, I'll make it and then I'll visit you guys on the holidays, okay?" The teenager replied with a smile on his face.

"And don't you go back on that promise, we can't spend a Christmas without you." The adult male winked at the boy with a small grin on his face.

"Well, I should go now, or I'll be late. See you guys later!" The boy grabbed a suitcase and ran out of the house.

"Ah, they grow up so fast" The adults said in unison smiling at each other.

"Are you nervous?" A high-pitched voice, seemingly from nowhere said as the boy stepped out of his house.

"Huh? Wait, Lazuli... is that you?" The boy looked around to see where the voice came from

"Boo!" The same mystery voice said as she appeared out of nowhere right in front of Yujin. It seemed to be a young girl wearing a grey armor which is covering her whole body, except for her eyes, which were a deep emerald green, and a crest on the chest of her armor with a gem inside.

"Don't just come out like that, what if people see you." He whispered, not wanting to attract any attention.

"Don't worry, nobody can see me, well except for those like you. You know, you should be happy to actually have a Duel Spirit."

I should probably explain what just happened, don't I? Well, first let me introduce myself. I'm Yujin Shojiki , the teenage boy in the beginning. And those other 2 people? Well those are my parents. The person who came out of nowhere? That's my Duel Spirit, Lazuli. I've known her for a month by now. Long story short, bought a new deck, and in pure coincidence I found a partner in the form of Lazuli, albeit somewhat annoying at times, she does seem to care about me. She's really nice once you get to know her.

So, you must be familiar with the term, 'Duel Academy' right? Well I've signed up for one of the biggest Duel Academies in the world. A giant island, exclusive to train the best duelists around the globe! (While still getting basic school stuff like math.).

To sign up you must be a high school graduate at the very least, and the basic ability to read and speak English, but even then you need to show you know how the game works, so in order to do that they have a 5 part test that quizzes you on: The Mechanics, Basic Rulings, Deck Building, Meta Knowledge and a practice duel.

Your score will decide which of the 3 classes you'll take and what dorm you can stay in: Slifer Red, Ra Yellow or Obelisk Blue. Each depending on certain factors, Slifer Reds are duelists who scored bad on their written tests, but managed to win their duels good enough to be allowed, Ra Yellow duelists are most of the time the opposite, good on the written tests, but didn't do too well in an actual duel, and Blue? Well either you're rich, or you're a great duelist.

Well let's go to where we left off.

"Mister, Eugene could you please come. The written test start will start in 3 minutes, mister Eugene would you please arrive. This is a last warning, if you arrive to late the test will start without you." A voice came from a little metallic box somewhat hidden behind a potted plant.

Eugene, I mean Yujin ignored the mispronunciation of his name and ran as fast as he could to through the hall of the seemingly infinitely large building and opened the door.

"Mister Eugene I assume?" A stern man said looking at the duelist, from his rather baggy clothing that looked a bit dirty, to his rather ridiculous hair. Yujin's hair was incredibly spiky with crimson red streaks and 3 big spikes pulled backwards crossing each other, again with the red streaks. It was to simply and kindly put it, unique.

"It's... Yujin." He said gasping for air after searching for his class for what felt to be hours for him, despite it only being like 15 minutes.

"Don't care, make your test."

"Fine, asshole." Yujin muttered.

"Do your best~" Lazuli said floating around the class.

The first test came up, the mechanics of the game. It wasn't that hard, just needing to explain the different kind of spells, traps and monsters and how to summon, activate cards and all that stuff. Plus it's multiple choice.

"The first half hour is up, now the computer here will scan your answers." The man came up and grabbed everyone's tests and scanned it. "You'll get your answers back in another half hour, now for the next 3 written tests."

And so it went, for basic rulings it was pretty much about the different kind of effects, ignition, continuous, etc. And about missing the timing, chain links, and some more known rulings, such as how Xyz material don't count as on the field so Sangan's effect doesn't trigger while detached as an Xyz material, it was easy to understand, but it was still a little bit tough.

The next one was deck building, you were given multiple cards and had to construct a working consistent deck. And oh boy, meta knowledge. You had to name multiple (not every) decks which were Tier 1 for the past 3 years, and given questions on the decks play styles, weaknesses and matchups... This one was surprisingly hard.

"Okay, all written tests are done and scanned, each student will get their score individually. They'll be given to you by the teacher in charge of your duel."

Yujin gulped as he walked out of the classroom and into the open field, a giant gym filled with walls to separate all the duels from each other, multiple monsters were seen flying around the stage. Yujin and Lazuli were amazed at the sight of all the monsters, it was nothing like any of the small duels they've seen before at their local card shops, these were genuine holographic monsters appearing out of the ground..

"Hey, wake up!" An unknown voice said.

"What?" Yujin said clearly confused.

"You were daydreaming. You're Yujin Shojiki right? I'm the person you need to duel." The voice said, belonging to a rather slim man, he looked to be a young adult and If Yujin had to guess his age he'd say he'd be around 22 years old..

"Ah yes, and you are?"

"Well I'm Phil Abate, but you can call me mister Abate."

Lazuli looked at Yujin and gave a good luck sign as she ran behind him to one of the duel corridors.

"Can I ask what my score is before we begin mister Abate?"

"Well, you scored a perfect 100 for Mechanics and Deck Building, a 70 for Meta Knowledge and an 80 for Rulings. You're now at 350 points, which is already enough to hit Ra Yellow."

"I don't want Ra Yellow, tell me how many points I need to hit Obelisk Blue!"

"Well, you need a minimum of 450 out of 500 to hit Obelisk Blue, so unless you score a perfect score, you'll have to do with that."

"Obelisk Blue Students get a free scholarship right?"

"Yes."

"And all I need to do to get one is beat you, while not losing a single life point? Easy." Yujin smirked.

"Oh, getting cocky are we? You know other students who're done with their duels are ready to watch, same for my supervisors, let us see if you're still cocky when you're about to lose."

Lazuli sighed."Oh boy, here we go again." She disappeared into thin air as her body entered Yujin's deck.

Both duelists walked to the small arena, if you can call it that as Phil gave Yujin a Duel Disk, it seemed to be a standard Solid Vision Duel Disk.

"You'll need one if you want to duel."

Yujin nods and he put his deck in it, as it got shuffled automatically for him.

"Students go first, okay?"

Yujin nods again as he drew 5 cards to start the duel.

"Ready, set, DUEL!" The teacher said.

Turn 1: Yujin.

Life Points Yujin: 8000

Hand Yujin: 5

Field Yujin: N/A

Life Points Phil: 8000

Hand Phil: 8000

Field Phil: N/A

Draw Phase, skipped. Proceed to main phase.

On the Solid Vision Duel Disk there was a small screen which showed the Life Points of both players, the phases, the field (including such things as his Extra Deck and Graveyard.), the amount of cards left in his deck and the cards currently in his hand.

"I'll set 1 monster, and I'll end my turn." A giant card appeared laying down on the field horizontally, albeit floating in the sky.

Turn 2: Phil

Yujin:

Life Points: 8000

Hand: 4

Field:

Monsters: (1 Face-down)

Phil:

Life Points: 8000

Hand: 5

Field: N/A

"Since I go second, draw!"

"First, I activate the continuous spell card: Spellbook Star Hall." The walls around them turned into a giant hall, with some rather nicely decorated mosaic windows with a big book appearing above them, shining a light-blue light.

"Now, I summon Spellbook Magician of Prophecy! (WATER, Spellcaster, level 2, ATK: 500, DEF: 400) a young boy in blue clothing appeared, reading a book he held in his hand.

Now when he's Normal Summoned I can add 1 "Spellbook" Spell card! I add Spellbook of Secrets! Which I'll immediately activate! It allows me to add 1 Spellbook card, except for another Spellbook of Secrets. I'll add Spellbook of Powers.

Another book appeared opening up its pages, only for a red book to appear out of it and it was added to Phil's hand. Then the big blue book that was floating above the two duelists shined even brighter as a black orb with a yellow upside-down pyramid on it appeared above it. "Each time a Spellbook is activated my Star Hall will add 1 Spell counter, and for each one all my Spellcaster monsters gain 100 ATK."

Spellbook Magician of Prophecy (ATK: 500+100=600)

"Now I'll use Spellbook of Power and the Field Spell: The Grand Spellbook Tower, with Power my monster gains another 1000 ATK And another 200 for Star Hall" The Giant Floating book shined once more as 2 more counters appeared while the young magician got engulfed in a red aura from the Spellbook of Power, but that wasn't it as behind him an enormous tower was rising from the ground. However due to its enormous status it seems that part of the tower was clipping through the roof.

Spellbook Magician of Prophecy (ATK: 600+1000+100+100=1800)

"We probably should've done an outdoors duel, oh well already inside." Phil said to his opponent, who was awfully quiet the whole time.

Enter Battle Phase

"Now, I'll attack your facedown monster! Power Strike!"

The boy shot a ball of scorching red flames at the face-down monster hoping to destroy it.

"Flip, Gem-Turtle."(EARTH, Rock, Level 4, ATK: 0, DEF: 2000) Yujin flipped his monster face up revealing a brown turtle with a green shell made purely out what seemed to be a giant emerald, and was even wearing a green collar made out of it.

"Damnit, 2000 Defense?!" Phil said as the fireball got reflected of the shell and sparks of it hit Phil directly.

Phil: Life Points: 8000 - 200. 7800 LP

"FLIP effect activated, I'll add 1 Gem-Knight Fusion to my hand."

"I'll end my turn, the effect of Spellbook of Power wears off."

Spellbook Magician of Prophecy (ATK: 1800-1000=800)

Yujin:

Life Points: 8000

Hand: 5

Field:

Monsters: Gem-Turtle (2000 DEF)

Phil:

Life Points: 7800

Hand: 4

Field:

Monsters: Spellbook Magician of Prophecy (800 ATK)

Spells/Traps: Spellbook Star Hall (Continuous), The Grand Spellbook Tower (Field)

"Cat got your tongue? You stopped talking all of a sudden, what happened to your promise to beat me without losing a single Life Point?"

"A Duel says more than words mister Abate, a teacher like you should know. DRAW!" Yujin drew 1 card as he looked at it and smiled. "First I summon Gem-Armadillo!"(EARTH, Rock, Level 4, ATK: 1700, DEF: 500) A yellow-orange colored armadillowith a bit of brown appeared, it had no hind legs and therefore stood on its tail, it also had 2 rockets strapped on his back

"Using his effect, I'll add Gem-Knight Obsidian, then I activate the spell card Gem-Knight Fusion, I fuse Gem-Turtle and Gem-Knight Tourmaline! Beast carrying sacred gems! Gem tinged with Lightning! In a whirlpool of light, combine to bring forth a new dazzling radiance! Fusion Summon! Gem-Knight Zirconia!"

The Turtle and a yellow knight appeared next to each other fusing into as a giant knight who is wearing incredibly bulky armor, had a dark-blue cape and where his hands should be were giant hammer-like hands with a clear gem made of zirconium on it. (EARTH, Rock, Level 8, ATK 2900, DEF: 2500)

"Now, I activate the spell card Foolish Burial, with this card I'll send Gem-Knight Lazuli from my deck to my graveyard, and when she's send to the graveyard by a card effect I can add 1 Gem-Knight normal monster to my hand from my graveyard, therefore I add back Gem-Knight Tourmaline, Then I use the second effect of Gem-Knight fusion, by banishing 1 Gem-Knight from my graveyard, I'll add it back to my hand."

"Wait you don't have any Gem-Kni- Wait.. The Lazuli you send with Foolish Burial... "

"Yep, now I can Fusion Summon once more. Gem tinged with lightning! Sharp jet-black darkness! In a whirlpool of light, combine to bring forth a new dazzling radiance! Fusion Summon! Appear! The one who pursues victory, Gem-Knight Topaz!" (EARTH, Thunder, Level 6, ATK 1800, DEF: 1800) The Yellow knight appeared once more, only to fuse with a knight wearing jet-black armor this time, this time in their place was a tall knight wearing a darker, but more sleek yellow armor compared to Tourmaline, like all the other gem-knights it had the same crest on his chest.

"Now, when Obsidian is send from the hand to my graveyard, I can target 1 Normal Gem-Knight Monster and special summon it from my graveyard, come back Gem-Knight Tourmaline!" The smaller Yellow Gem-Knight appeared with lightning orbs circling around him. (EARTH, Thunder, Level 4, ATK: 1600, DEF: 1800)

Enter Battle Phase

"First things first, Topaz attack blue boy!" Topaz ran towards the Magician as he charged his 2 tonfas with lightning and then striking at him with full power.

Phil: Life Points: 7800-1000=6800 LP

"Activate the effect of Topaz, you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's original attack." Topaz charged up once more as he shot a lightning bolt at Phil.

"Ugh..."
Phil: Life Points: 6800-500=6300

"Also Topaz can attack twice... so let me see, 1800+2900+1700+1600=8000. You lost."

"Wait Wha-" before he could even finish his sentence all 4 monsters attacked causing him to get send straight into a wall.

Phil: Life Points: 0, LOSE.

WINNER: Yujin Shojiki

"So... I'm an Obelisk Blue student now?"

".Did I just get OTK'd?"

"Yes you did, now tell me, do I become an Obelisk Blue Student now?"

"Y-y-y-y-yes. "

"K, so... how do we leave to the Giant Island?"

"The Duel Disk has a built-in ticket, just show it and you can enter."

Yujin left Phil just standing there as he looked amazed at how easy he was defeated.

"Now I just need to call my pare-"

"What was up with that?" A familiar voice said, it seemed to be from Lazuli who had entered her Duel Spirit form again.

"Up with what?" Yujin was somewhat confused.

"You only used my as fodder to get Tourmaline back!"

"And Gem-Knight Fusion, not my problem you're so weak stat wise."

Lazuli glared angry at Yujin.

"But that doesn't matter though, if it wasn't for your effect I wouldn't have OTK'd him, and he could've inflicted some damage on me, so without you I wouldn't have become an Obelisk Blue, now how about we celebrate? I heard we go there via a giant cruise ship, we can eat some pudding."

"Pudding!" Lazuli said gleefully

"Man, aren't you easy to keep happy?" Yujin smiled

"Also thanks for the compliment by the way." The young girl said giving Yujin a hug.

"No worries, you're still my partner Lazuli."

Yujin and Lazuli walked away to a giant cruise ship, as he entered he revealed his Duel Disk and was given a key to a room, which he promptly entered.

"Time to see if this is the best choice I've ever made, or the worst mistake."
