Introduction to Season 2
The World was captivated by a the Maiami Tournament, some papers noted of an explosion from the Academy, but it was snuffed out by LDS Leadership. However once Reiji and Himika Akaba announced Lancer Defense Studies, the true story of LDS Academy was revealed.
Images, ruined and clippy where shown of the defenseless residents of the Academy were attacked without just cause. Several half duels where shown with LDS Students dueling someone off screen. The Headmasters were turned into Martyrs as the 'Final' Battle of LDS Academy, which resulted in explosion. The story goes faculty and head students dueled to let some of their peers escape.
A few boats got to safety most did not. LDS 'sent' teams to check for survivors but they 'found' no one. Saved the principle who was tried for crimes, such as aiding and abetting murders, and committing 'treason' against this dimension. This is where story begins back at the LDS Academy..."

The truth is they only confronted Academia once, in a 3v3 where their decks allowed them to survive against the Academia onslaught.
Robert - Headmaster of XYZ, runs a Dark World Deck. His Ace is Grapha. He did not participate in the House Cup, this year, as he was a Senior due to graduate instead he decided to focus more on his thesis regarding Field Spells and Action Duels. LDS captured him during the start of the Tournament.

He was injured by Aquarius during their duel the year prior resulting in his defeat. Most still consider him LDS Academy Top Duelist. Thomas gave Mora Lightray Diabolus for deck.
