Chapter1:
Practical Exam Part 1
Yu Dueling School. It was founded by a single man passionate about Dueling monsters, and with a little too much money.
With the school gaining so much success, others followed across the world but it remained the most respected one, making some of the greatest duelists in history. The school represent-
"And I'll be the best of them all!"
The rude one making this bold declaration is our protagonist. He was a 15 year old teen of average height. He had short, light brown hair, sporting a simple dark blue T-shirt with jeans. His name, Yuji Mato. How creative. He was on his way to take the most important test of his life, the entrance exam for Yu Dueling School.
"I didn't expect the written exam too be so hard. I guess it's too be expected from a big school like this. Anyway, the practical exam is the part I'm most excited about. I'd better hurry."
Yuji hurried to the place of examination. Once he had done hurrying, he arrived, and before him stood a large dome. It was the school's Dueling Arena where the practical exam was to take place. In front of the doors was a big crowd of background characters. We need not concern ourselves with them.
"So many people! Didn't realize there were so many applying. Not like it changes anything since I'll be at the top."
"Pretty confident, aren't you?"
Yuji turned around too find a girl standing behind him. She had long, almost silver, hair with a music note hairpin on the right side. She wore a ruby shirt and a dark green knee-length skirt. Her clothes were rather plain but their was an air of refinement in her voice.
"Of course I'm confident. I'm a pretty good duelist, if I do say so myself. The practical exam is going to be a cinch." Yuji said with confidence.
"What a simple way of thinking." The girl replied.
"Huh?"
"Everyone who came here is a 'pretty good duelist'. You need smarts, skill, endurance and a complete knowledge of the game if you want to make it."
"Would you really need to come here if you knew everything about the game?"
The girl sighed.
"I hate dealing with people like you. If you don't mind, I'll go take the exam now. Let's see if we meet again."
The girl walked, forward leaving Yuji and entering the building.
"I guess I should be going too. I'll show her what I've got by getting in."
Yuji entered the dome to find himself in large room. The walls were plain white with lamps hanging from the ceiling and many seats spread out. Not a very good description but I suppose the readers can use their imagination.
"Looks more like an airport waiting room than what you'd see in a school."
As he looked around, he saw what seemed to be a reception desk. He walked over to the one standing behind. She was a young woman with short blond hair and wearing a black suit.
"Good morning. Are you here for the practical exam?"
She spoke warmly with a bright smile, spreading a calming aura around her that's soothes the body. Yuji nodded.
"May I have your full name please?"
"Yuji Mato." He answered.
"Let me see...Ok. You will be called shortly to one of the Duelling arenas. Meanwhile, feel free to check your deck and prepare yourself. You can also go to the benches to watch other people's duels but I recommend waiting as to avoid missing your call."
"All right. Thank you very much."
Yuji took a seat among the many chairs. And waited. People going in and out. Names being called. Meanwhile, he stood there and waited alone. It was as if he was being caged inside-
"Arrgh! When is it my turn?!"
He stood up with frustration and looked around trying to find something to do. As he scanned the room, he saw her. The girl from earlier. He decide to walk up to her but at that moment, she got up and walked to a door with a large number 4 overhead.
"Guess she went to take the exam. Maybe I'll watch her."
As he approached the way to the benches he heard it. It was the call of an angel. A voice to free him from his frustrations. You could say-
"Yuji Mato, you are expected at Dueling arena 2."
"Finally! Time to show them what I've got."
Well reader. I hope you are enjoying this story so far. Who am I you ask? Why, I am your humble storyteller, Nara Tor! Now I know you want to ask me many questions but let us stay professional for now. This is the author's first story, and I'm sure an astute reader such as yourself realized this from the writing, but I do hope you keep on reading. Although they keep cutting my attempts at embellishing the story, the author is still trying to entertain you. Now then, time for the preview. On the next chapter, the duel of the practical exam starts. Will Yuji pass it? Seeing as he is the protagonist and this is still the beginning of the story he probably will, but let's find out together on chapter 2: Practical exam part 2. Again, not very creative. Thank you and keep on reading!
