A couple of days later, Oliver and Alexandra were on the helicopter heading towards Duel Academy. It was a long trip. Oliver had been trying to nap, but the noise of the other's in the helicopter kept him awake. He was just nodding off were Alexandra asked him a question.
"Hey Oliver?" she asked.
"Yeah?" said Oliver
"Where are we going to live on the island?"
"Well, there are three dorms." replied Oliver. "They are called Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow, and Slifer Red. The top dorm is Obelisk Blue. You get in there if you are excellent at dueling, very smart, or if you have the right connections. Ra Yellow is the middle. Most of the people in there are the best, but have real promise of being good duelists. Slifer Red is at the bottom of heap. The people in there are either really bad or made one or two important people very unhappy. But we will most likely be in Ra Yellow or Slifer Red because to be an Obelisk Blue as a first year, you need to good to some dueling prep school."
There was a woman sitting next to Oliver, and Alexandra, and she said, "You two will most likely being in Ra Yellow, because you both did well on your application exam." The woman's name was Alicia Wilson. She was Alexandra's personal assistant. Since Alexandra didn't have the use of her legs, she needed help with things like getting dressed, and going to the bathroom. Alicia was tall, about 26 years old, was a little naïve, but was over all a nice lady.
"You're probably right." said Alexandra, but she looked nervous.
After about forty-five minutes, they finally reached Duel Academy. Oliver was glad to finally get up, and stretch his legs. After all of the freshmen climbed out, a man in a large blue trench coat led them to a large domed building. The trip there was difficult for Oliver. Since there were no trails and Alexandra's wheelchair could get through. So Oliver ended up having to carry it, while Alicia carried Alexandra.
When they finally reached the building, a couple of the Academy workers formed them into two lines, a boy's line, and a girl's line. The lines began at a large table with a lot of the Academy uniforms on it. The uniforms were in stacks by color. There were one or two blue jackets, but they were mostly yellow, and red. Oliver made his way through the line, and got to the table.
"Name?" asked a woman at the table.
"Oliver Hirano." replied Oliver. The woman checked a list. To Oliver's slit relief, she handed him a Ra yellow uniform. Then she handed him a small computer thing.
"This is your student ID." she said. "It's also a phone, and PDA." Oliver stared at it in amazement. "Next!" shouted the woman. Oliver stepped aside to let the next person through.
He then tried to look form Alexandra. He got a fleeting glance of Alexandra. She was waving at him. She was holding a girl's Ra Yellow uniform. He didn't get the chance to talk to her however, because one of the Academy workers started shoving him towards the door saying, "Come on, come on! Once you got your stuff, go to your dorms."
Oliver decided that he should go to his dorm. The Ra Yellow dorm was basically a yellow over sided lake front cabin. After about five minutes of looking, he found his room. It was a decent sized room. It had a bathroom, a closet, a bed, a desk, a dresser, a computer, and a TV. He then proceeded to unpack his stuff. He didn't have a lot so this wasn't a long process.
After unpacking, he decided to do a little exploring. He went over to the door, opened it, stepped out, and ran into another freshman who was walking past his room. They fell over in a heap. The freshman he ran into yelled at him in some language in didn't understand.
"Um, can I press one for English please?" asked Oliver.
The boy he ran into then shouted in English, "Why don't you watch were your going."
"Roberto, it wasn't his fault. He didn't see you coming." said another boy. He looked down at Oliver. "Hi. My name is Jonathan, but you can call me Johnny. And this character," he pointed to the boy on the floor, "is Roberto."
Oliver got up. "Hello, my name is Oliver." He and Johnny shook hands. "Nice to meet you." Oliver then helped Roberto up. "Sorry about that."
"Nah, it's alright." said Roberto. "I wasn't paying attention."
"Well anyway," said Johnny, "Roberto and I need to get to class. See ya." Then both he and Roberto hurried off. Oliver looked at his schedule. His first class was Dueling Strategies. He looked at his watch, and realized that it started in ten minutes. So he ran off to find his first class.
Sorry. No duel this time
