"I've got like two minutes left…" Jaden muttered as he ran through Domino City, the city next to Magnolia, which was where the Academia Exams were taking place, "Never again am I going to stay up eating that pancake ship I made! Made that freaky dream and I'm gonna be late!"
As he ran, he passed by someone shorter than him, with star-shaped tri-colored hair and wearing a triangular pendant.
Hey, is that Yugi Mutou…? The guy who won against THE Seto Kaiba?! Thought Jaden as he passed the person by. He had slowed down to get a good look at the person, and was surprised to see him look back at Jaden, the Fairy Tail mage's eyes crimson instead of amethyst.
He had heard a lot about the Fairy Tail mage known as Yugi Mutou, as he lived in Magnolia. It was said he and his team were the only ones, other than Bisca, Alzack, and later, a boy named Romeo Conbolt, the son of Master Macao Conbolt, keeping Fairy Tail's funds going. He had also learned about Yugi's famed match with the leader of the Kaiba Corporation during that Death Amusement Park. Jaden had GONE to that amusement park -Which was inside of Kaibaland- with Midori and had watched Death-T happen.
"Ah, crap!" he exclaimed as he looked at his watch. He was late! Dammit!
But then he laughed, "At least they can't throw me in Detention Hall for being late!"
Finally, he made it! He was late, yeah, and it that Bastion guy's duel was the last one, but he was sure that Midori would be able to convince whoever it was that watches over this stuff to allow him to take the practical exam, which was the use of a MPF, or Magic Power Finder, that had been donated by the Rune Knights. You had to score above or equal to your proctor's score or you were denied.
When he got there, he spoke with a kid called Syrus Marufuji. Jaden recognized the surname to be the same as Zane Marufuji's, the strongest student at Academia according to Midori. Syrus was under a pretty big shadow, no wonder he seemed so unsure. Jaden decided to be Syrus's friend, and soon he was called.
He'd be going against Crowler's score. He had a bad feeling…
"Finally!" Crowler exclaimed when he got there, "I shall show you the power of Academia, you slacker!"
With that, Crowler moved to attack the MPF, "Ancient Gear Explosive!"
Crowler threw a gear at the MPF that exploded, scoring Crowler a three hundred.
"Your dreams are over, kid." Crowler said proudly. Jaden grinned.
"You think so, huh?" Jaden asked, getting out Hane's symbol. You ready, buddy? He mentally asked the Spirit Partner. He threw the feather-shaped symbol into the air.
"I open my heart to the Land of the Elements! Help me out, Hane, White Feathered Spirit That Serves the Light!"
With a 'kuri' the little winged ball of fur appeared. He heard people, including Crowler, laugh. He decided that the laughter didn't matter, as they'd be jealous soon enough.
"Let's go, buddy!" Jaden exclaimed. Hane began to glow as he slammed into the MPF, at first seemingly scoring Jaden a hundred, but then the MPF went crazy…
Jaden had earned himself a five hundred, and he and Hane didn't use any of their full power.
Jaden grinned to himself. He was in! He was hugged by Midori, who didn't mind showing him a little favoritism before school began.
Everyone knew at Academia that Midori had a surrogate kid brother who was also the heir of the YukiGroup.
The next day would find Jaden in a helicopter with the rest of the slacker students, including Syrus. He was sitting next to Syrus, in fact.
He couldn't wait to get to Academia. Not for the learning -he sucked at it, which was another of the reasons he was in Red, the lowest of the low- but for the obvious adventure just waiting for him.
Learning from a Phantom and living where Fairies dwell gave him a thirst for adventure that he knew would be satisfied the longer he was at Academia.
Yeah, Jaden is MUCH stronger than Crowler.
Based on the fact that he's going to be saving the world, like, every semester, I'd say that it's fitting.
Please review!
Oh, and if you like YGO 5D's or the Original, then I am working on a 5D's story that's currently not up yet that'll be called Reincarnated Wyverns, and already HAVE up a YGO DM story called Fairy Of Games that was mentioned in this fic. It isn't TO Death-T yet, but anyone who's seen Season Zero or read the manga should know about Death-T. XD
Once again, please review!
