Will was sitting on the other side of the desk, getting some last minute details out of the way. After filling in the necessary paperwork, he looked up and asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be accomplished?" He said, while leaning back into the chair.
The Chancellor just gave a big smile, "Yes, but first of all I would like to say welcome to Duel Academy, where we teach people to be the finest duelist." He said, "Right now, since you're a transfer student, you'll be starting out in Slifer Red," He explained while pulling out a red jacket, which Will took, and stood up to put it on, "and here is your academy issued duel disk."
When Will grabbed the small device, he could feel the slightest difference between this and his old one, "This is going to take some getting used to." He said, while placing the disk onto his left arm.
"You're not the first one to think so, but anyway, class is just about to start, so you better get going so you won't be late for your first day of class." Sheppard said, "And don't worry about your bags, I'll make sure personally that they make it to your room safely."
Will just nodded before leaving, only to turn around and asked, "By the way, where do I need to go for class?"
"Whoops, I knew I forgot to give you this." He said, while holding up a small device, "This is your PDA, it will have all the information you'll need to know, plus email and a few other things you'll find useful. Now you really better get going if you want to make some friends before the first bell rings."
Will just takes the PDA and leaves the office.
Will was able to find the room with less trouble, although some of kids in the blue coats had to learn the hard way that the color of one's coat doesn't necessarily make you one of the strongest since the boy that try to attack him for being ignored ended up flat on his back when Will caught his fist and flipped him over hard.
When the door opened to let him in, he walked in to notice what appeared to be somewhere between 20, 25 rows of desks leading down to a smaller desk, with a computer screen so big, that looked big enough to rival the one he's seen in an IMAX theater one time. He looked around until he spotted a tall, long blonde haired individual in a blue coat with pink frills on the shoulder part, standing in front of him, and from what he can tell, sounded like he was apart of whatever it is this person was talking about.
"This is just perfect. We have a new student today, and all of his test scores are among the highest in the school. Now I'll have the perfect opportunity to get rid of dropout boy." The man said.
"I seriously doubt it." Will said, scaring the person out of his skin.
"How long have you been there?" The man asked, while trying to calm himself down. When he did, he started to look all serious when he spoke again, "Anyway, you must be the new student, William Rawelk. I am Professor Vellian Crowler. I am the head master of Obelisk Blue, and I'm also the best duelist in the teaching staff, so feel free to brag about it to your friends."
"I'll believe it when I see it." Will said, while walking towards the stairs, "Those who brag too much will always wind up with the crushing blow of reality one day and not take it well, which is why I never brag."
Crowler looked like he was going to blow his top, when the door opened to reveal three boys in red jackets running in through the door, "Ha ha, I won." One of them yelled out while the other two were catching their breath, especially the large one.
"Yeah you sure won that time, Jay." The shortest one of the trio said.
"Silence or else its detention for all three of you!" Crowler yelled out, venting out some of his anger on the unsuspecting boys.
"No, not that!" Yelled the boy with brown hair.
"Mister Rawelk, whatever you do, don't become like this slacker her." Crowler said, while turning to look down the stairs.
The boys looked down to see another boy leaning next to one of the bottom rows, with his arms crossed, and his eyes closed, "You never know, they might make interesting company." The boy replied back.
"Oh hey, you're new around here aren't you?" The brown started to say as he approached the newcomer, "I'm Jaden Yuki, the number one frosh here." He introduced himself while sticking out a hand.
Will opened his eyes to notice that this boy was a little shorter than him by an inch or two, and his hair was two types of brown, with the lighter version going around the top o his head, almost making look like one of the medieval friars, "Will Rawelk, and we'll just have to see how long that lasts, now won't we?" He introduced himself while taking the offered hand. He looked towards the other two to see the short one had light blue hair with rim glasses, making him look like a nerd, while the other was fat, with a round pink nose and a couple of round tufts of hair, making him look like a koala.
The short one walked up and stuck out his hand, "Hi, I'm Syrus Trunsdale." He introduced himself with a smile, before it disappeared completely, "Although with my luck, you probably do better than me anyway."
Will just raised an eyebrow to this, and said, "It's too early in the game to start doubting yourself now." While he shook Syrus's hand, getting the boy's attention.
The big one walked up and shook Will's hand when it was offered to him, "Hey there, I'm Chumley Huffington. I'm repeating my first year here. Nice to meet you."
"Same here," Will said before looking around the classroom, "Looks like we better hurry up and take our seats before they all get taken."
"Good idea. Why don't you sit with us?" Jaden asked with a huge smile on his face.
"Sure thing, since it would be nice to sit next to some friendly faces for awhile." Will answered, while following his new friends.
"So Will, do you by any chance have a card crush?" Syrus asked, with a small blush.
"I might, but I don't know you well enough to tell you everything." Will explained, while taking his duel disk off of his arm.
"By the way Will, why do you have four decks on your belt?" Jaden asked.
Before he could answer, a voice with a British accent intercepted, "Did I hear somebody say four decks?" They looked back to see a boy in a yellow jacket, with black hair.
"Hey, Bastion, we were just trying to get to know Will here a little better." Jaden said, "Will, this is Bastion. Bastion, Will."
"Nice to meet you." Will said, shaking the boy's hand.
"Same here." Bastion replied, "Anyway, what's this about four decks?"
"Let's just say I don't like to use the same deck over and over again, so I bring a few extras depending on which one I feel like using." Will explained, while all four nodded in agreement, "Also each deck focuses on either monster of certain types or monsters with certain abilities like Union, and LV monsters."
"Attention students! Class is about to start!" Crowler yelled out, getting the class to quiet down and give him their attention, "Anyway, today we have a new student in today. His name his William Rawelk and he scored among the highest in both exams."
"And just why would some newbie's scores matter to any of us, Professor?" A question coming from a cocky boy in a blue long coat asked, high up near the top, "It's not like he broke any records."
Crowler had a big grin on his face, which for some reason made Will start to think about Tim Curry on the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and said, "Oh no? See for yourself." He said, while punching up a screen showing Will's scores, not realizing the surprise waiting for him.
