Chapter 2

Awaking out of bed on a sunny day Anthos emerged out of bed ready to start his journey to someday be the greatest duelist. He had heard that Duel Academy was holding their annual enrollment weeks ago and has been prepared for this day for years. Five years have passed since the legendary student and champion Jayden Yuki graced the halls of Duel Academy any many students remember him to this day as well as people across the world for his triumph over Darkness.

Anthos walked out of his room to the bathroom to get a hot shower and clean up. "Man I better be ready for this Ive been practicing for weeks and I hope I get in." 30min later he walked up to his dresser grab his deck looked at the mirror again. " Ok deck this is what it comes down to." Anthos was a short with short brown hair and brown eyes he wore a Battle City style dueldisk, and as he reached for his deck to he felt a slight sensation inside him. "Whoa what was that" and without notice he dropped his cards. He leaned over to pick them up. ( This is the last thing I need to happen being all jumpy and careless.) As he was thinking he suddenly was caught staring at a card laying face up. He smiled when he recognized the familiar image picked it up with the other and walked out of his room.

"Well this looks like the place". Looking around he saw a small building about the size of a elementary school with about 3 lines of Duelist standing waiting patiently. "Next please keep the lines moving and don't lose your place. We need all applicants to complete their examination match today." Looks like I just made it said Anthos looking up at the examiners. Getting in line he started feeling nervous looking at all the possibly soon to be students and one caught his eye. " Wow look at that guy he is tall he must be at least 6 feet." Wow your new around here apparently said a voice behind him. Turning around he say a guy about his height with messy brown hair glasses wearing a hoddie and also a different style dueldisk then the one Anthos had. " Why do say that and hey what kind of disk is that." Oh this I had to this given to me by a great duelist when I was younger said the strange man. " It really looks cool by the way Im Anthos. Im Raphen nice to meet you he said as they shook hands. " Now to answer your question about him over there pointing to the large duelist that's Keybenz he's a crazy duelist he's got like tons of cards and decks too. You mean you have dueled him before asked Anthos? Only once and he beet me with this insane combo its hard to explain but you would have to see it.

Ok you in line please come this way said one of the examiners and form another line we will be starting in a few minutes. What luck there starting another line and its right here sweet will be up there soon said Raphen!" Walking into the building Anthos saw two examiners holding a notepad. They walked up to him and said " Name Please." Im Anthos he said looking at the examiner wearing a blue vest and dark shades. "OK you well be dueling in examine field 5 please your deck in the slot up ahead to ensure your not using any illegal cards. Now time has passed since cards where banned for being to power full so the only cards you couldn't use where fake cards. He placed his deck in the slot suddenly the small machine looking like an x ray machine you would see at an airport started to glow and make noises. After a min the green light came on and the examiner gave him a thumbs up and handed his deck back to him.

Walking on to the field Anthos heard a loud speaker over head asking if he was ready? " You bet ive been waiting for this so lets get started." The duel arena suddenly open up and all around him where many students and teachers with their eyes on him as well as other fields. I hope your not afraid of a little attention said the loud speaker now heres is your opponent he said' and out of a doorway raising up came

A mechanical looking robot with two arms a head and no feet. It hovered over to Anthos an ask him to please insert his deck while handing Anthos his own deck by retracting cards from a cylinder shaped duel disk. " Please shuffle cards before beginning the match it said as it took Anthoses cards and automatically shuffling instantly then handing them back as Anthos nearly was dropping them but manged to regain himself and did so as well then handed them back. Both opponents walked back to there respective spots and stared each other down. Begin duel the robot said and both players activated there duel disks . " This is it this is what ive been preparing for so lets DUEL!
