Sub-Chapter 1.2:

A dark-skinned man, balding at the crown, with a lab coat over his buttoned-up shirt and slacks approached Duan.

"I am Mr. Freedus, and I will be your test examiner. Are you ready?"

"Yes," replied Duan, placing his deck in a slot inside his duel disk; it shuffled his deck. His normal, nearly constant smile faded away; his face mostly relaxed except for his slightly wrinkled eyebrows. Both players drew five cards from their deck.

"I will begin," announced Mr. Freedus as he drew a card with a swish. "I set one monster and end my turn." With a flick of his wrist, he placed a card face-down horizontally on his duel disk. Its image projected to the space between them. "Show me your strength, student."

"It's my turn! Draw!" With another swish, Duan drew a card and stared at it intently before placing it in his hand. "I summon Slate Warrior!" When Duan placed his card on a slot in his duel disk, the card's image projected before a monster, a blue human-shaped creature with yellow armor and detached limbs floating together, materialized in sparks of light. A holographic rectangle briefly displayed "Attack: 1900."

"Battle! Slate Warrior attacks your face-down monster!" At Duan's command, the monster raised its staff and shot a blade of wind at the face-down card. It revealed a monkey, with a flaming mane and a box briefly displaying "Defense: 200." Surprised by the sudden blast of wind, the monkey shrieked before it shattered into many little pixels. "A common trait among Flamvell monsters is that they all have 200 Defense."

"If Flamvell Poun is destroyed as a result of battle, I can add one FIRE monster with 200 Defense to my hand," stated Mr. Freedus. A holographic menu box popped up, displaying the list of eligible monsters to put in his hand. He tapped the menu box, and a card stuck itself out from his deck. He pulled it out and revealed "Flamvell Baby" before adding it to his hand.

Duan glanced at his hand and at the field. He knew what was going to happen next, but he couldn't stop it. "Turn, end!" he announced. Mr. Freedus drew his next card.

"I summon Flamvell Firedog!" A two-headed dog, black with red veins, resembling magma emerged from the card's projection onto the field. A box displaying "Attack: 1900" appeared briefly before it.

"Normally, two monsters with the same attack would destroy each other when they battle, but," Duan said to himself, allowing his voice to trail off, knowing what will happen next.

"I activate Flamvell Baby's effect! By discarding it from my hand, a FIRE monster on my side of the field gains 400 attack until the end of my turn!" A small sprite with a flaming body and a mischievous grin appeared in front of Flamvell Firedog and surrounded it with flames. The box that displayed Flamvell Firedog's Attack Points appeared again, then dialed up its contents until it read "Attack: 2300."

"Flamvell Firedog attacks Slate Warrior!" It howled, then rushed towards Duan's Slate Warrior; it brandished its staff and shot its blast of wind. Flamvell Firedog, with increased vigor, bit Slate Warrior's armor, causing it to shatter into many pixels and the blue body to decompose into ooze that remained on Flamvell Firedog.

A box appeared next to Duan, displaying "Life Points: 8000," then decreased until it read "Life Points: 7600." "Slate Warrior's effect activates! If a monster destroys it by battle, that monster loses 500 attack!" That effect seems to be wasted, though.

"Flamvell Firedog's effect activates! If it destroys a monster by battle, I can Special Summon a monster with 200 Defense except for Flamvell Firedog from my deck! Come forth, the Tuner monster, Flamvell Magician!" As Flamvell Firedog howled, a purple-skinned, mostly bald (except for a ponytail of flaming red hair) man appeared, carrying a burning staff.

"His Battle Phase isn't over," muttered Duan to himself.

"Flamvell Magician attacks your Life Points directly!" It cackled before a spiral of flames engulfed Duan. His body instinctively raised his arms to block, even though only a blast of hot wind and a mild, discomforting heat wave blew past him. The box appeared again and displayed Duan's Life Points at 6200. Mr. Freedus's turn isn't over; Duan knew that Mr. Freedus still wanted to do at least one more thing.

"Tuning! My level four Flamvell Firedog to my level four Flamvell Magician!" Flamvell Magician rose slightly and turned into four photons of light, which surrounded Flamvell Firedog. "Clustering wishes will become a new shining star. Become its path its light shines on! Synchro Summon!" As he grandly announced those words, Flamvell Firedog became enveloped into a flash of light. "Take Flight, Stardust Dragon!" A shrieking roar reverberated from the pillar of light as it dispersed into small glimmers, revealing a white dragon with a very tight, lean body frame. The holographic rectangle read "Attack: 2500" briefly. "I set 1 spell or trap card and end my turn." A single face-down card appeared below Stardust Dragon.

"It's my turn!" announced Duan, staring down the dragon before him. "Draw!" He glanced at the card and glanced at his hand. No monster in my hand or even in his main deck could defeat Stardust Dragon's raw 2500 attack points. Duan peered at Stardust Dragon, then at a slot in his Duel Disk containing four cards. "I set one monster and three spell or trap cards. Turn, end!"

Mr. Freedus simply drew and grinned widely. "Watch carefully, Duan. This is what you lack."

"Huh?" Did he draw a card that would press his advantage?

"I activate the Spell card, Rekindling! I Special Summon as many FIRE monsters with 200 Defense as possible. However, they're removed from play at the end of my turn."

"What?" Duan didn't expect this to occur. He knew what Mr. Freedus was aiming for, but he didn't expect it to happen. Not like this. Flamvell Baby, Flamvell Poun, Flamvell Firedog, and Flamvell Magician all materialized in several glimmers of light and flame.

"Tuning! My level four Flamvell Firedog to level four Tuner Flamvell Magician!" Flamvell Magician again, rose slightly and turned into four rings of green light, which surrounded Flamvell Firedog. "The ruler's heartbeat will file through here! Bear witness to its creation-shaking power! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Red Dragon Archfiend!" A flash of light revealed another towering dragon, red, similar in build as Stardust Dragon except much more muscular. It brandished its curled horns and razor-sharp metallic claws before roaring, revealing its rows of canines.

Duan watched stoically as Mr. Freedus announced the words "Tuning" almost repeatedly. "Tuning! My level one Flamvell Poun to my level one tuner Flamvell Baby! Gathering wishes will call out a new speed's horizon! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! The Power of Hope, Synchro Tuner, Formula Synchron!" Resembling a racecar, Formula Synchron appeared in a flash of light. "When Formula Synchron is Synchro Summoned, I can draw one card!" He gleefully drew his card with a fwip, his excitement unable to be contained.

"Tuning! My level eight Stardust Dragon to my level two Synchro Tuner Formula Synchron! Clustering crystal dreams will open the door to a new evolution! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Be born, Shooting Star Dragon!" Two monsters, one with 3300 Attack Points, and one with 3000 Attack Points both appeared to his side of the field. Shooting Star Dragon flew in, leaving a trail of glimmer in its wake. Its colossal size and deep screeching roar awed Duan.

While Duan began to formulate a plan to defeat the two dragons, Mr. Freedus pressed a button on his duel disk, revealing one of his face-down cards. "Trap Card, activate! Call of the Haunted! I select one monster from my Graveyard and Special Summon it in Attack Position!" A wisp of smoke rose from Call of the Haunted's image.

"No way, you're going to do another Synchro Summon?"

"Come back, Flamvell Baby!" Flamvell Baby appeared once again, tethered to Call of the Haunted by the wisp of smoke. "I summon the Tuner monster, Flamvell Archer!" A man, well-built, with a flaming-red mane of hair, stepped forward, wielding a flaming bow and arrow. "Double Tuning! My level eight Red Dragon Archfiend to my level three Tuner Monster Flamvell Archer, and my Level one Tuner Monster Flamvell Baby!" Flamvell Archer and Flamvell Baby both dematerialized into a flaming-red ring of light, surrounding Red Dragon Archfiend. "The King and the Devil, here and now shall become as one. A raging spirit! Lift up the very cries of creation itself! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Red Nova Dragon!" Duan merely peered up helplessly at Red Nova Dragon unveiled itself from a screen of flame. Its deep roar as it entered shook the atmosphere around him.

"Red Nova's Dragon's attack increases by 500 for each tuner monster in the Graveyard." Duan began to count off the Tuner monsters that Mr. Freedus used during this duel. "Formula Synchron, Flamvell Baby, Flamvell Archer, and Flamvell Magician. That's 2000 more attack points." Duan began to tremble. Two of the strongest monsters in all of Duel Monsters, both summoned in one turn. This is the power of the Flamvell deck, huh?

"Exactly! I activate Shooting Star Dragon's effect! I reveal the top five cards of my deck and can attack for each tuner monster revealed!" Mr. Freedus picked up five cards from his deck and showed them to Duan. He saw "Solemn Warning", "Pot of Duality", "Flamvell Archer", "Flamvell Magician", and "Bottomless Trap Hole". "I've revealed two Tuner monsters! That means I get two attacks!"

"Trap Card, activate! Threatening Roar! You can't declare an attack this turn!" Several sonic waves began to reverberate from Duan.

"How naive! I activate the Trap Card, Trap Stun! It negates all other traps this turn!" A jolt of electricity struck the image of Duan's Threatening Roar, causing the sonic waves to scatter. "Shooting Star Dragon, attack! Stardust Mirage!" Shooting Star Dragon split into five brightly hued versions of itself as it flew in and dive-bombed towards Duan.

Duan's face-down monster, a mask-shaped yellow object with a red-crossed-shaped scar, revealed itself briefly before exploding after being hit by one of the copies of Shooting Star Dragon, enveloping Duan in a cloud of dust. "Mask of Darkness's Flip Effect activates at this time! I add one Trap Card from my graveyard to my hand. I select Threatening Roar!" When the dust cleared, the image of Threatening Roar appeared where Mask of Darkness lay before it faded out.

"Shooting Star Dragon still has another attack! Go!" Duan's eyes turned to the four remaining copies of Shooting Star Dragon. He raised his arms to block the impact again, watching three of them zoom past him and the fourth tackled him, sending him reeling. As he hastily returned to his feet, his Life Point display dwindled to 2900. "Red Nova Dragon, direct attack! Burning Soul!" Duan glanced at Red Nova Dragon as it began to spin and emit spiraling red flares around its body. His field is clear. His traps won't work. Too bad, kid. It was over when you let me pull out my two dragons. It drew in ominously closer.

"If a trap won't work, I'll activate the Quick-Play Spell, Scapegoat! I Special Summon four Sheep Tokens in defense mode!" Four balls of fur, each with stubby legs, small horns, and a serene, peaceful expression all materialized before Duan, merely floating by.

Duan's unexpected card choice took Mr. Freedus aback, but he realized that it wasn't game-breaking. "Fine, I'll attack a Sheep Token instead!" The massive Red Nova Dragon spun into a sheep token, obliterating it. The other three seemed to pay no mind to their fallen comrade. "I end my turn. Do you see it, Duan? Do you see what you lack?"

"It's true that not one card in this deck could defeat Red Nova Dragon or Shooting Star Dragon at the same time. However! Mark my words, I will destroy them!" Koa'ki Meiru Powerhand's effect negates the effects of any LIGHT or DARK monster it battles. Shooting Star Dragon and Red Nova Dragon are LIGHT and DARK monsters respectively. If I can draw it, then with some support, I might be able to do it. "It's my turn. Draw!" He glanced at the card he just drew, but merely added it to his hand.

"You're still trembling. I can't blame you for being afraid."

"I'm not afraid," said Duan quietly. "This duel has resounded with my heart. It's been a while since I had such a challenge. Will all duelists here at Duel Academy fight this way?"

"Before you talk about the other duelists, you've got to overcome what you lack!"

It'll be okay. I didn't draw the card I need, but I'll overcome power with my courage and knowledge. "I summon my own Tuner monster, Junk Synchron!" A small, mechanical-looking figure wearing an orange plate, and on its back seemed to be some sort of motor and ignition. "Junk Synchron's effect activates! When Junk Synchron is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a level two or lower monster in Defense Position, but its effects are negated! Come back to me, Mask of Darkness!" Mask of Darkness rose from a blue circle, the same shape as it was before Shooting Star Dragon destroyed it.

"A Synchro Summon? No, it can't be-!" Is that kid planning on Summoning Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier? He has two cards in his hand, which is just enough to take Shooting Star Dragon and Red Nova Dragon out of the game.

"Tuning!" chanted Duan. "My three level one Sheep Tokens, my level two Mask of Darkness, and my level three Junk Synchron!" Junk Synchron pulled its ignition on its back and transformed into three rings of green light. Then, the Sheep Tokens and Mask of Darkness lined up together "Clustering wishes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon!" Before Duan placed his Stardust Dragon on his Duel Disk, he wondered what battle position it should take. Should I play it safe and put it in Defense mode? If I played it in Attack Position, Mr. Freedus would think that I was up to something.

"Stardust Dragon? This is unexpected." I guess that kid doesn't have such a rare card after all. "You could of kept those Sheep Tokens and stayed alive for another turn, maybe, but you've given that up. I've yet to figure out what deck you're using, but maybe you've given up? I hope you're not trying to make a good impression on me, since you've already failed that area."

This will absolutely work. In fact, this has to work, or my chances of winning will disappear. "I'm counting on you, Stardust Dragon!" cried Duan, ignoring Mr. Freedus, playing Stardust Dragon in Attack position. Like Mr. Freedus's Stardust Dragon earlier, it entered in a flash of light with a screeching roar. "I set two spell or trap cards face-down. Turn, end!"

"It's my turn." His Stardust Dragon is in Attack mode. If I attack him with Red Nova Dragon, I'll win the duel. It's that face-down card that I'm worried about. It could be "Dimensional Prison," a trap card that removes the attacking monster from play. That card doesn't destroy, so it would bypass both Shooting Star Dragon's and Red Nova Dragon's effect. He must be baiting me into attacking with Red Nova Dragon. "Shooting Star Dragon! Attack your inferior counterpart! Stardust Mirage!" Again, Shooting Star Dragon split into five different images and jettisoned towards Duan's Stardust Dragon.

Duan watched three of the images zoom past him, then he pushed a button on his Duel Disk. "Trap card, activate! Sakuretsu Armor!" Stardust Dragon's body began to emit an aura of wind.

"Oh? Not Threatening Roar?" Ha! This is even better than I imagined! This amateur duelist is using Dimensional Prison's weaker counterpart, a card that destroys the attacking monster, an effect that neither Shooting Star Dragon nor Red Nova Dragon need to worry about. Shooting Star Dragon's effect activates! Once per turn, I can negate the activation of a card effect that destroys a card on the field and destroy it!" The fourth image Shooting Star Dragon stopped briefly to brandish and reel back its claw.

"Stardust Dragon's effect activates!"

"What?"

"I tribute Stardust Dragon to negate the activation of a card effect that destroys a card on the field and destroy it! Go, Stardust Dragon! Victim Sanctuary!" Stardust Dragon began to fade away into rising, glittering dust, catching Shooting Star Dragon as it went to strike Stardust Dragon, causing it and the other image to shatter into pixels.

"You've, you've trapped me! If I didn't activate Shooting Star Dragon's effect, it would have been destroyed anyways. Was this your aim all along? Red Nova-"

"Trap, activate! Threatening Roar! Your monsters can't attack this turn!" Again, the sonic waves began to resound; Red Nova Dragon suddenly had second thoughts about attacking.

"I end my turn."

"When Stardust Dragon uses its effect successfully, I can Special Summon it back to my side of the field at the end of turn!" The glimmers of light began to gather back, returning Stardust Dragon to the field. "It's my turn! Draw!" You're here! "I set a monster card, then I activate Book of Taiyou!" A face-down card followed by the image of an orange book with its cover resembling a wall of an Egyptian monument projected onto the field. "This card flips a face-down monster to face-up Attack Position! I flip over Brain Jacker!" The image of a sun on the center of the book lit up and opened its eye, and the face-down monster rose and revealed a brain-shaped creature with bat-like arms and claws. A single eye protruded from its frontal lobes.

"No! This means..."

"Brain Jacker's Flip Effect activates! I equip it to one of your monsters and take control of it!" Brain Jacker flew straight for Red Nova Dragon's head and disappeared; it roared dully before flying to Duan's side of the field. "I only have one Tuner monster in my graveyard. Red Nova Dragon only gains 500 attack points." A display briefly appeared next to Red Nova Dragon, first displaying "Attack: 5500" before the number reduced to 4000.

"Stardust Dragon! Attack Mr. Freedus's life points directly! Reverberate! Shooting Sonic!" Stardust Dragon leaned back, and roared, shooting a white, translucent stream of energy before Mr. Freedus raised his arms to block the virtual dust. "Red Nova Dragon! Attack! Burning Soul!" Mr. Freedus's eyes gaped as Red Nova Dragon spun in a flaming spiral, sending him reeling across the arena. His Life Points dwindled from a perfect 8000 to a mere 1500.

Mr. Freedus groaned as he stood back up. "No way, you defeated Shooting Star Dragon and took control of Red Nova Dragon."

"Turn, end!" Mr. Freedus said nothing as he drew his card with a swish. "A side effect of Brain Jacker's effect causes you to gain 500 Life Points at each Standby Phase." Mr. Freedus's Life Points increased to 2000. Ignoring Duan, he played the card he drew immediately.

"I'll activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, Mystical Space Typhoon! It destroys one Spell or Trap Card on the field. Since Brain Jacker is equipped to Red Nova Dragon, it's a valid target for my Mystical Space Typhoon!"

"Stardust Dragon's effect activates! Victim Sanctuary!" Once again, Stardust Dragon dematerialized into glimmers of light before the cyclone reached Red Nova Dragon's head, causing the two to disperse each other.

"Right, right." Mr. Freedus then smirked. "This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

"What?" Is he going to play his last trump card?

"I activate another Rekindling! I can Special Summon back my army of monsters!" Once again, Mr. Freedus's monsters appeared in glimmers of light and flame. For the first time during the duel, Duan smirked.

"This is the moment I'VE been waiting for!" he declared before pushing a button on his Duel Disk.

"What?"

"Trap card, activate! Needle Ceiling!" As he flipped over his face-down card, a stone slab parallel to the ceiling with massive needles protruding from it materialized. "This card can only be activated if there are four or more monsters on the field. It will destroy all face-up monsters!"

"No way! You'll take out both of our monsters!"The stone slab fell, crushing first Duan's Red Nova Dragon, then the rest of Mr. Freedus's monsters, which growled in pain before they ruptured into pixels. Was he aiming for this from the start? He did say "I will destroy both of them." The face-down card had been there since his second turn. Did he read that far ahead? "I set one card and end my turn."

"Stardust Dragon returns to the field during the End Phase." Duan's expression blanked out again. I just need a card that can allow me to deal 2000 points of damage. Any card, Junk Synchron, Debris Dragon, or even Koa'ki Meiru Powerhand will do. "It's my turn. Draw!" Duan glanced at the orange glimmer as he drew his card and played it immediately. "I summon Diskblade Rider and activate its effect! Once per turn, I remove a Normal Trap card from my graveyard, 'Threatening Roar,' from play to have it gain 500 attack until the end of your next turn." A blue circle opened, then a green human-shaped monster on a motorcycle with rather large wheels drove in. It took Threatening Roar in its hand and placed it inside a slot on a motorcycle before revving its engine, causing its Attack to climb from 1700 up to 2200.

I've lost. Even if I use my trap card now, it won't change the duel's outcome. "Congratulations," Mr. Freedus said slowly.

"Battle!" Duan continued, ignoring Mr. Freedus. "Stardust Dragon!"

"You passed."

"Reverberate, Shooting Sonic!" Once again, Stardust Dragon leaned back and roared one last time before it shot a white, translucent stream of energy at Mr. Freedus, who stood forlornly. His Life Point display beeped as it dropped to zero. The holograms faded.

"Welcome to Duel Academy," said Mr. Freedus humbly. "Here's your reward." He pulled out a few copies of "Flamvell Magician" and presented it to Duan. When he reached and grasped the cards, Mr. Freedus held onto them for a moment before letting go.

"Thank you," Duan said hastily before walking to the exit. Before he reached the exit, he glanced over at the other arenas. "I wonder how they're doing."

"Excuse me," a voice called. "Your name is Duan, right?"

"Yes, that's me," Duan replied automatically, turning to the approaching figure carrying a strange contraption. As the figure stepped closer, the whirring sound from the contraption became more rapid. "And you are?"

To Duan's surprise, the figure kneeled down and bowed deeply while continuing to hold the contraption in the figure's hand. "Please, I have a request of you!"

"Huh?"

Extra 1.2

"When will it be that boy's turn?" grumbled Percia, gazing at the arena. "I want to see him duel. I can't believe I've waited this long." Her impulses commanded her to stand and shout, "DUAN, YOU IDIOT! COWARD! LIAR!" All eyes suddenly fell on her, freezing her in place. "Er, um.."

"Pipe down!" cried a teacher's voice. Percia sheepishly sat back down.

Meanwhile, inside the waiting room, Duan suddenly sprung upwards, half-dazed. "Ah! I'm awake!" He glanced around and noticed only a handful of individuals remaining. Some of them looked at him quizzically, but he paid no mind. "Oh, it's almost my turn!"


"What? He let that bald guy get his combo out? He didn't Synchro Summon Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier? Does he want to lose?" Percia sat on the edge of her seat, anticipating Duan's next move. At the corner of her eye, she noticed a girl wearing a Duel Academy uniform under her black cloak, gazing suspiciously at the duel. "Who are you?"

The girl's face paled for a moment, then regained its composure. "I am the Queen of Games! Bow to me and kiss my feet! Ohohohohoho!" Percia ignored her, merely continuing to watch the duel. "Watching that duel carefully?"

"What's it to you? What are you doing here, watching Duan's duel?"

Her face paled again. "Uh, look! He's got Stardust Dragon!"

"Huh? I know that." Percia glanced over to the Duel before glancing back to the Queen.

"Hide!" she whispered as she rolled down a piece of wallpaper resembling the wall behind her. By the time Percia glanced back over towards the Queen, she was nowhere to be seen.

"Wait, where'd that second-year go?" She scanned the area hastily before returning to watch the rest of the Duel.


The Queen gave a deep sigh of relief and allowed the piece of wallpaper to roll down harmlessly. "Whew, I didn't think he was going to win for a moment."

A quick glimpse of the Queen caused Percia to turn around. "Huh? You've been here all along?" An awkward silence fell upon the two, as the Queen racked her brains for ideas out of this awkward situation.

"Uh, look! Junk Warrior!"

"Huh? The duel's over, there's no Junk Warrior!" As Percia peeked over her shoulder to make sure, the Queen disappeared again. Percia searched and searched, but the Queen was nowhere to be found. "Hmph, how ridiculous. Crazy second-year."
