(Chapter 3: Arrival at Duel Academia!)

The rest of the boat trip went by pretty quick after Naiga's duel with Rianu. After arriving on the island, everyone was quickly lead up to the Academy.

After a small tour of the main building for the new students, they were lead to one of the classrooms.

After a few moments, the large screen at the front of the classroom lit up, showing the face of Principle Sameshima. Everyone soon quieted down. "Welcome to Duel Academia, new students! My name is Principle Sameshima. All of you should be proud to have made it in to our prestigious school. You are the best of all duelists of your age, and I hope that you will be able to show your skills to your teachers, and to your peers." He told everyone in the room.

Kurisutaru looked around the room, seeing if she recognised anyone among the other new students. She spotted Kai across the room, but she didn't recognise anyone else. She turned to Naiga whom was sat next to her when he tapped her on the shoulder.

"Excited, Kuri-chan?" Naiga asked.

Kurisutaru nodded with a smile. "I'm glad I'm finally here. I just hope I'm ready for the dueling here. We're going to see a lot of decks that we've never seen before back home." She replied.

"You're one of the best back home, but I think both of us will do fine." Naiga told her.

"Now, I'm sure all of you are eager to get settled into your dorms. If you would please line up then my collegues will give you your dorm and room assignments. We then advise you to go straight to your dorms once you know what rooms you are in." Sameshima explained.

Kurisutaru turned to Naiga. "Whoever gets out first waits for the other, okay?" She questioned. Naiga nodded.

(Outside the Academy, minutes later...)

Kurisutaru came running out of the main building, but she saw no sign of Naiga yet. She waited for a few minutes watching the other students head off to their dorm rooms, before Naiga joined her. "So, how'd you do?" She asked.

"I got stuck at the bottom, I'm in Osiris Red." Naiga answered, hanging his head. He quickly looked back up at her a few moments later. "Where are you starting?" He questioned.

A smile formed on Kurisutaru's face. "We're going to be in different dorms Naiga-kun. I got into Ra Yellow." She told him.

"Hey, that's great. I didn't think you'd have any problem getting in." Naiga replied.

"Well, the Principle said we'd best get to our dorms. I'll see you later Naiga-kun." Kurisutaru said before she started walking.

Naiga quickly caught up to her. "Um, you... couldn't let me see your map, could you?" He asked.

"Don't tell me you lost your map already Naiga-kun." Kurisutaru replied. When he just hung his head, she sighed. "Alright. Here." She added as she let him see the map of the school that she'd been given. Though she did wonder how he had already lost his.

"Okay, I think I've got where the dorm is now. Thanks Kuri-chan." Naiga told her, before heading off.

(Minutes Later...)

Kurisutaru looked up at the dorm building. She remembered hearing from a couple of students on the ship that there was some building work happening last year, of two new dorm buildings. They were working to expand the school so that they would be able to take on more students. She figured that they were separating the genders for all of the dorms now, like it had previously only been for Obelisk Blue.

As Kurisutaru entered the dorm's lobby, she found a good number of students around, already in uniform who were chatting away. She looked at the piece of paper she'd been given to remember where her room was.

But before Kurisutaru headed to her room, a hand rested on her shoulder. She gasped and when she turned, she saw a black haired girl who was reading her dorm assignment. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. Looks like you're rooming with me." The girl said, before offering her hand. "I'm Michirure. Osaka Michirure." She introduced herself with a small smile.

Kurisutaru returned the smile and took the hand. "I'm Keshiro Kurisutaru." She replied.

"Well, let's get you up to the room. You brought the essentials, right?" Michirure asked as she half-dragged Kuri to the stairs.

'This coud be an... interesting year, living with her.' Kurisutaru thought. "Me and a friend were a little rushed, we just found out we got into the Academy this morning. I packed what I could think of at the time, but I think I've got most of what I'll be needing, and I can just ask my parents to send anything else." She answered.

(Over at the Osiris Red dorm...)

Naiga's right eye twitched as he looked up at what could be his new home for most of the next three years. 'I knew it was going to be bad, but I didn't think it would be this bad.' He thought.

"Well you better start getting used to it because this is your home for a while. But think of it this way. The longer you slack off, the longer you're going to be here" A voice said at his side.

"Hey!" Naiga shouted as he turned to see who was talking to him. "I know you from the entrance exams. You're Kai. I'm..." He replied

But Kai interrupted him "...the fiend who ran into me on the boat and the clumsy idiot who knocked his friend into me at the entrance exams. Yes, I know who you are."

"I have a name!" Naiga exclaimed.

Kai just ignored him and walked ahead towards the dorm.

As Kai approached the Red dorm, 3 figures are walking down the steps.

"Out of my way, Loser!" The biggest of the three said.

Kai didnt move and their shoulders clashed.

"Got a problem?" The same guy asked him.

"Just you acting like an ass. Going to try bully the other Osiris Red students when we all get settled in?" Kai questioned.

"Heh. I'll take care of him Aniki." One of the guy's two followers said, stepping forward, before the bigger guy grabbed his shoulder.

"Leave him. I want to give him a reason to be scared. I'll duel him." The bigger guy told him.

"A duel?" Kai asked, before he dropped the bag he was carrying over his shoulder to the floor and opened it. He took out an old style Duel Disk, and locked it onto his arm, loaded his deck before activating it.

"Yes a duel!" he said

"And i thought you was just going to throw cards at me and hope that i get a papercut." Kai replied.

"Ill give you more than a papercut!" the bully said.

"DUEL!!!!"

The bully activates his Duel Disk, puts his deck into the slot and draws his opening hand (Bully's LP: 4000).

Kai draws his hand and studies it. (Kai's LP:4000).

"That antique still works?" This is going to be an easy win!" The bully laughs.

"Dont let the age of the Duel Disk fool you, it can still do its job. I'd worry about my own moves if I were you, speaking of moves, I draw." Kai states.

Kai draws a card and adds it to his hand. "I first activate this spell card Future Fusion! This allows me to send fusion material for one of my fusion monsters from my deck to my graveyard and summon it to the field in 2 turns" Kai explained, before he removes his deck from his duel disk, and sends 5 monster cards to his graveyard.

"Yeah so? That gives me 2 turns to stop it" the bully says.

"Correct but I want that monster now, and I have a card to speed up the process, and its called Dragons Mirror!" Kai shouted.

"Huh?" The confused bully uttered.

"The monsters i sent with Future Fusion were all dragon type monsters, and Dragons Mirror allows me to take fusion material from my graveyard out of play to special summon a Dragon type monster from my fusion deck, so do you know what monster uses 5 dragon monsters to summon?" Kai asks.

"Nope" says the bully.

"Then let me show you. Rise Five God Dragon!!!" Kai shouts.

A massive 5 headed dragon appears on the field, letting out a great roar (5000/5000).

"Ah but you cant attact because its the first turn of the duel." the bully says with a smile on his face.

"Right but lets see you beat my monster, i set a card and set a monster card to end my turn" Kai chuckled.

"My turn, i draw!" the bully stated.

"Haha its time for you to worry about my moves, i activate Lightning Vortex!" he shouts.

"With this card i..."

"I know what it does, get on with it" Kai interupts.

The bully discards a card from his hand and Five God Dragon is destroyed.

"Worried yet?" the bully asks.

"Should I be?" Kai answers.

"Yes because im going to make a fusion summon of my own."

The field zone of his Duel Disk opens and he puts a card in and closes it.

"I activate Fusion Gate!" the bully shouts.

A gate appears in the middle of the field.

"Im sending my Warrior Dai Grepher and Spirit Dragon from my hand to create...Dragon Warrior! (2000/1200)" the bully stated.

A warrior looking character dives out of the gate and stands in front of the bully.

"And my monster shall attack whatever pityful face down monster you have." the bully said.

The bully's monster lunges forward and hits the face down monster.

The monster is destroyed and goes to the graveyard.

"I end my turn, you must have admired my excellent moves."

Kai draws and a smile appears on his face. "I did admire your moves, and now I'm going to exploit your mistake!" Kai shouts. "I activate your Fusion Gate card and send my Cyber-Dark Keel, Horn and Edge out of play." Kai replied, and then put the three mentioned cards into his back pocket. The three monsters appeared on the field briefly, before fusing. "To summon Armed Black Dragon - Cyber Dark Dragon!" Kai states.

A big mechanical creature appeared on the field in the place of Kai's three monsters. (1000/1000)

"That's it? You waste three pieces of garbage to summon a bigger one? My monster will crush it." The bully says.

"Another card you aren't familiar with. Well, let me explain its special ability." Kai says. "When Cyber-Dark Dragon is summoned I can select any Dragon type monster from my graveyard to become an Equip card and its ATK points are added to Cyber-Dark Dragon's. And I choose Five God Dragon." He explained

Five God Dragon appears again and Cyber-Dark Dragon attaches itself to it (6000/1000).

"And an extra 100 ATK for every monster in my graveyard."(6100/1000). Kai explained

"What?" the bully says.

"It means its time for your LP to go bye-bye, all of them. By means of a Full Darkness Burst attack." Kai said as a great wind comes and an energy wave bursts from Cyber-Dark Dragon and destroys Dragon Warrior and the bully's LP.

"No not all of them!" the bully cries. (Bully's LP:0)

The monsters disappear, the bully drops to his knees and his friends stare in shock of what just happened.

"Remember, how much you can eat doesn't make you a better duelist." Kai says.

"Stay away from me!" The bully shouts as he and his friends run back to the dorm.

Kai removes his Duel Disk and puts it back into his bag.

Naiga runs up and trips over a rock on the ground.

"Is it possible for you to stay on your feet for even a little bit?" Kai asks.

Naiga gets back up and dusts himself off. "Shut up…" He answered as Kai threw his bag over his shoulder and headed towards the dorm and walked into one of the upper rooms. Naiga checked his dorm assignment, then looked back at the dorm. His right eye started twitching again. "You've gotta be kidding me." He then sighed.

(End of Chapter)

Just note one thing. Most of the lines and duels for Kai will be written by my older brother.
