Review Answering Time!

3697014: Thank you. And as for Siato, I do have plans for him.

Student: I do understand why Louise would embarrassed by the outfit, but she has had quite a few months to adapt, and as far as I can tell, her Tristain Academy of Magic uniform wasn't exactly much better off in the covering leg department (hence me using some of Louise's original FoZ design in her above knee length socks). Honestly, the reason I chose GX for the crossover simply comes down to both series having slice of life/ school life elements, which I felt complimented the crossover better than the original and 5d's. I do love all three series, though, but I stopped watching after 5d's, so I can't judge the other two (or is it three, now), in terms of compatibility.

Kfacett and Roxas: Thank you. I hope you continue to enjoy.

It wasn't long before the first round of tests had begun. Personally, Louise found it odd any of her classes would have a test this early in the semester, let alone a single week in. And it didn't help that after this, there was was a practical test.

Personally, Louise was far less worried about that than her theory classes. Dueling was simple and straightforward for her, but putting into words could be a bit more complicated. She was simply thankful this was her last exam. Still, she was curious about how the duel part of the test was going to work. Was it going to be like the entrance exam, against a hired duelist? Or were they going off against each other?

The later would be fun, without a doubt, but a bit unfair. One could face a duelist of greater or lesser skill, which wouldn't be fun at all. Or maybe that was the point? A test of over, no, Louise, stop overthinking things, the pinkette shock her head, trying to clear her thoughts. Hopefully, nobody else was have as hard of a time. Even Jadean, who had somehow come in late. Though that had almost become par the course. She just hoped he knew what he was doing.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Ruby sighed, slumping over tiredly. Four back to back tests was tiring. If it wasn't for the fact he had been warned about this ahead of time, things would have gone much, much worse. At the very least, he knew he was going to pass the whole lot of them. He hoped Louise had fared better than he did, because he knew she had been burning sleep worrying about it.

Regardless, this was the part that truly mattered. Practical tests, the duel itself. Honestly, he did himself a favor by not following the rush of warm bodies where rare cards were being sold. Slapping in random cards would do his deck no real favors, no matter how rare or powerful they were. What few fairy type monsters or supports he didn't have weren't exactly needed, given the atypical style of his deck. Given the muttering he heard, his choice was only vilified more.

Though, he did have to wonder how someone was able to get all the rare cards ahead of time. Oh, well, that was going to be someone else's problem. If there was any sign of foul play, he expected it to be dealt with in swift and concise manner. And if he did happen to end up facing whoever had all those cards, well, Ruby had his own way of dealing with problematic monsters.

Gingerly, Ruby touched his deck case. He wondered if luck would be on his side today, and allow him to play his ace monster. His partner, in every sense of the word, a duel spirit. She hadn't shown herself since arriving at the academy, likely because there hadn't been any duels. Hopefully, that would change today. If not, then, well, he'd just have to wait a while longer.

He heard stomping, causing Ruby to raise his head. Louise was clearly not happy about what happened, or at the very least, was certainly more vocal about it, one way or another. Ruby had to admit, he had grown used to Louise's more aggressive side that reared its head from time to time. He waved the pinkette down, getting her attention swiftly. Letting Louise remain angry before a test like this would be wise.

"How is it possible for someone to get all the rare cards before getting out class?" Louise growled, flopping down besides him in an undignified manner. One of the things Ruby had picked up on his new friend was that she carried herself highly, as if observing some type of edicate in a court. It dropped when she was excited or angry, like now.

"I'm sure you'll do fine," Ruby remarked, only to earn a laugh from Louise, causing him to raise an eyebrow. He got friendly gab from Louise for his comment.

"I'm not worried about my deck's performence, I'm just mad because I might have missed out on something that would have helped me later on," Louise shrugged, "But I suppose you are right. There isn't much to get worked up about." Ruby's mouth nearly closed. He hadn't even said anything!

"Now, come on, that's enough sitting around. We have some duels to win, after all," Louise grinned, pulling the blonde to his feet. Another thing he learned about Louise. She was much, much stronger than she looked, and arguably, more possible than her small frame should be capable of allowing.

Which ended up with him being unceremoniously dragged around someone not even five foot. Oh well, at least he was being dragged toward something he enjoyed this time, much rather than a gym. Louise was either some type of monster,or simply had no idea on how the human body worked. He was sore for days after she had ran him through the gym like that. Ruby knew he'd have to do whatever it took to never go back there again, least he suffer for it.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The room was massive, easily holding enough room for six duels all at the same time. Ruby did frown though. He hoped this wouldn't be a public affair, like the entrance exam, but he'd simply have to do. Louise, on the other hand, seemed excited. Clearly, she handled herself well in situations like this. Either that, or she was planning something.

Then they were called down, alongside a few other students, including Jadean. Where he and Louise going to be dueling each other? That would be fun, if it weren't for the stakes involved. A second look proved that to be an unsound theory. A Slifer Red, two Ra Yellow, and three Obelisk Blue. That didn't make much in the way of sense, unless they were all to be fighting an Obelisk.

It didn't take any more than a moment to recognize all of them. Chazz Princeton, the self declared best, with his hair being as bad as his attitude, and his two cronies. He wasn't worried about those two, beyond their rude comments, which did nothing more than rub him the wrong way. He didn't have much patenious for bullies, and for good reason.

A swift look at Louise showed her ill contained excitement. He could easily imagine her rubbing her hands together, and saying excellent, like one of those old cartoon villains who just had things go their way. Either she had somehow planned for this, or Louise was more than ready to trounce the guy without issue.

Jadean had been paired up with Chazz, though that wasn't his concern. He himself had been paired up with the brown haired lackey. No words were exchanged as they suffled each other's decks. Louise had given her opionate the same treatment, though he couldn't worry about her, either seeing as she had been placed on the other side of Jadean.

"It's time to duel!" they both shouted, duel disk activating. The coin flip showed that he was going first. Good, if he could draw a summonable monster.

"I draw!" Ruby intoned, taking the first card off the top of his deck. He placed the monster in his hand, before taking a look at his resources. He could make use of Heatrice to fetch Vallila, Hall of the Fallen out of his deck, but he wouldn't be able to use its effect until next turn, and he really didn't have much to summon with it.

"First, I activate Foolish Burial, this card allows me to choose a monster card in my deck, and send it to my graveyard," he declared, before pulling out his deck, shifting through his cards. Ruby grinned, finding the card he sought, before placing it in his graveyard. He proceeded to shuffle his deck, before placing it back in the disk.

"Next, I'll play a monster card in face down defense position, alongside another facedown. With that, I end my turn," Ruby stated, taking note of what he had remaining. So a Pot of Greed, Heatrice, and Honest was what was left. A good, solid hand, especially given the monster. And if his opponent tried to remove the card currently in his graveyard, well, that's what his trap was for.

"My turn!" the smirk on Ruby's opponents face told him he had drawn something he thought was good. "I'll summon Vorse Raider in attack mode!" That was a solid choice actually. It was one of the strongest four star monsters in the game, if only using its attack as the baseline.

"Now, attack his facedown, destroy it!" it's summoner commanded, the beast rushing forward. Ruby simply smirked. The card flipped up as the monster approached, it's twisted weapon burying itself in marshmallow, rather than flesh. The force of the blow force Vorse Raider back, leaving the monster undestroyed.

"Marshmallon is an interesting card, isn't it? Not only can it not be destroyed by battle, but when it's flipped face up after battle, it inflicts 1000 points of direct damage," Ruby explained, as the adorable floating creature's mouth opened, revealing rows of razor sharp fangs, taking a chunk out of his opponent.

Ruby: 4000 Life Points

?: 3000 Life Points

"Fine, I'll place one card face down, and end my turn," he said, finally ending his turn.

Vorse Raider Atk: 1900 Def: 1200

Marshmallon Atk: 300 Def: 500

"Alright, I draw," Ruby looked at his new card. This was, actually, quite good. Provided that facedown wasn't a Trap Hole. "I tribute Marshmallon in order to summon Tethys, Goddess of Light in attack mode." The puffy monster vanished in a brilliant flash of light, replaced by an angel like creature. White robes covered it's body from the neck down, complete with golden trimming, symbolizing it's status.

Tethys, Goddess of Light Atk: 2400 Def: 1800

"Now, I activate Pot of Greed! This allows me to draw two more cards," Ruby explained, pulling the top two cards off his deck, before grinning. What extent luck. "Now, I activate Tethys's special ability! When I draw a fairy type monster, I can show it to my opponent, in order to draw one more card." He showed Athena, another of his high star monsters, before adding one more card to his hand.

"Next, I'll attack with Tethys! Go, attack his Vorse Raider!" Ruby commanded. With the cards in his hand, he feared no trap. In fact, It would actually be a benefit, at the moment. Without any creatures on his board, he would be able to go straight into Athena. A powerful light emitted from Tethys, destroying the opposing monster, causing it's owners life points to drop.

Ruby: 4000 Life Points

?: 2500 Life Points

"I'm going to end my turn here," Ruby grinned. So far, so good. He had board control, and a solid hand.

"I activate my trap card, DNA Surgery, which allows me to change all monsters on the field to spellcaster type!" Ruby paused. That was unexpected. But what was he going to do with that? Sure, that was going to be a pain in the rear to deal with, but he had Mystical Space Typhoon in his hand. "Now, I activate the spell I just drew, Monster Reborn! I'll use it to special summon Vorse Raider from the graveyard!" This time, Ruby sighed with relief. It seems as his opponent had forgotten all about the monster he placed in his graveyard.

"Now, I use Magical Dimension! With this card, I can tribute one spellcaster type monster I control to special summon a spellcaster. In this case, Dark Magician!"

Dark Magician Atk: 2500 Def: 2200

Ruby frowned, watching the famed ace of Yugi Muto come to life. He wasn't exactly surprised seeing a person using cards attributed to the King of Games, but it was worrisome.

"Not only that, when the spellcaster is summon with Magical Dimension, I can destroy one card my opponent controls!" Ok, that was worrying. If he didn't buy his facedown as a bluff, and he had a monster with more than 1500 attack points in his hand, this was going to be game over.

"Next I'll play Time Wizard!" The small spellcaster with the appearance of a clock appeared on the field. Time Wizard? Why play that? What was he going for? He couldn't be trying use its ability, could he? There was no point! Too much risk for zero reward. "Now, for Time Wizard's effect!" The top of the staff, the portion that looked like a clock, began to spin. Ruby wasn't worried in the slightest. It was either going to blow up in it's user's face, or do nothing to really affect him in the long run. The effect landed correctly, which made this a slight challenge.

Time Wizard Atk: 500 Def: 400

"Now, I activate the effect of a monster in my deck! By tributing Dark Magician after the effect of Time Wizard resolves in my favor, I can summon Dark Sage!" As he spoke, dark magician aged up, skin becoming wrinkled, long beard that would take centuries to grow appearing in an instant. "And it doesn't end there! When Dark Sage is summoned, I can add a spell card in my deck to my hand! And naturally, I'll use it! Mystical Space Typhoon, destroy his facedown!"

Dark Sage Atk: 2800 Def: 3200

The raging gale slammed into the facedown trap card, shattering it entirely. Ruby gritted his teeth. At this point, the thing wouldn't have served any use, but it was better than nothing.

"Now, Dark Sage, Time Wizard, attack his life points directly!" Both spellcaster's raised their rods, magical energy forming, before lancing out from the tip. Ruby crossed his arms, bracing himself for the hit. Even though they were holograms, and caused no pain, it was still instinct for him to recoil away.

?: 2500 Life Points

Ruby: 800 Life Points

Ruby grit his teeth as he watched his Life Points drop. His opponent had a smug look on his face, clearly not expecting any type of comeback from this.

"I'll end my turn there," he sneered, ignoring that just last turn, it was Ruby who held an advantage. Very well. With the cards in his hand, Ruby knew he could finish this.

"I draw!" Ruby only spared a glance to the card in his hand. No, Call of the Haunted didn't improve his chances of victory, not when he could do what he was about to. "I'll start my turn off with the activation of a spell card, Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen!" As the card materialized on the field, the illusion of some type of temple formed behind Ruby.

"This continuous spell card has an interesting effect. So long as my opponent controls a monster, while I control none, I can special summon any fairy type monster from my hand! And I choose to special summon Athena in Attack Mode!" Ruby shouted, placing the monster in attack position on his duel disk. A circle of light erupted on the field, to reveal a women in shimmering white robes, carrying both a lance, and a shield. Flowing white hair hung down from under her glimmering helmet, as one of Ruby's most powerful monsters took the field.

"Next, I'll use my normal summon to bring out Heatrice, also in Attack Mode," Ruby declared, as an angel with the body shape of an icicle, with tiny wings on its back, materialized on the field.

Athena Atk: 2600 Def: 600

Heatrice Atk: 1500 Def: 800

"Unfortunately, they both lose their fairy typing due to DNA Surgery, so I can't use Athena's effect," Ruby grinned, "It would be a shame, if someone also had a Mystical Space Typhoon!" He inserted the card into the duel disk, repeating the process that had happened to his own trap. With DNA Surgery gone, his fairies had gone back to that, fairy types.

"Now, I'll be using Athena's ability! Once per turn, I can tribute one fairy type monster I control, and special summon a fairy in the graveyard, all the while inflicting 600 points of direct damage!" Ruby declared. This was it. All, or nothing. And he was going all in!

"But you don't have anything strong enough to defeat my Dark Sage!" his opponent shouted back, causing Ruby to laugh even more.

"Remember my first card? Foolish Burial? I placed my strongest monster in the graveyard!" Ruby raised his hand, as his opponent face twisted in horror. Heatrice vanished in a swirling portal of darkness from the field as he placed it in his graveyard. Then, he drew out the card at the very bottom.

"Behold, my strongest monster, the mightiest of the fairies! Shine forth, with the fury of a new sun! I summon The Splendid Venus, in attack mode!"

?: 1900 Life Points

Ruby: 800 Life Points

His opponent didn't seem to care about the life point drop. In fact, he could only stare, slack jawed, at the monster that just entered the field. Not that Ruby could blame him. Four wings sprouted from the back of what appeared to be a golden armor dress, complete with a gleaming staff with a circle at its tip, which inside held a tiny red orb.

Splendid Venus Atk: 2800 Def: 2400

"A fun little fact. So long as Venus is on the field, all none fairy type monsters loss 500 Attack and Defense Points," Ruby grinned, watching the attack drop.

Dark Sage Atk:2300 Def:2700

Time Wizard Atk: 0 Def: 0

"Athena, attack his Dark Sage! Splendid Venus, finish this! Destroy his Time Wizard!" Ruby ordered, both monsters surging forward. Athena thrust her spear into her target, causing the elderly magician to shatter. All the while, Venus began to glow, growing brighter and brighter, until she was a copy of the sun. In an instant, Time Wizard was obliterated.

Ruby: 800 Life Points

?: 0 Life Points

Ruby took great satisfaction watching his opponent's Life Points drop to zero. He certainly hadn't expected what happened. One of his deck's weaknesses to be honest. He focused on beating down his opponent through shear volume of special summoned high star monsters. He only had a few cards to deal with an opponent's back row, and even then, only most worked under specific circumstances.

Though playing Venus would have it's downsides. After all, the card was as rare as it was powerful. At the very least, he would get more attention. Attention he'd much rather not have.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Louise smiled, her coin toss already won. Now this was what she'd been waiting for this entire time. Already, her hand was set and ready to go! Her vengeance was at hand for all his height cracks for the past week!

Louise: 4000 Life Points

?: 4000 Life Points

"I draw!" Louise smirked, looking at the cards in her hand. "I'll summon Royal Magical Library in Defense Mode!" Stacks of books rose from the ground, creating Louise's first line of defense.

Royal Magical Library Atk: 0 Def: 2000

"Next, I activate the spell card Terraforming! This allows me to search my deck for a field spell, and add it into my hand!" Louise declared, making mental note of the counters on her Royal Magical Library. It gained a spell counter each time a spell was played, up to a maximum of three. Once that number was reached, she could remove those counters to draw one card. Louise pulled out her deck, searching for her sole field spell, before adding it to her hand, shuffling her deck afterwards.

"Next, I'll play it!" Louise shouted, the side compartment for field spells opening, allowing her to place it inside. "Come forth, Magical Citadel of Endymion!" Making quick note of the second spell counter on her monster, Louise grinned as towers of magic rose around her, ruins dancing in the sky above.

"That's not all! I'll play Field Barrier!" Louise shouted, bringing the library up to three spell counters, and now a single one on her citadel. "This spell card prevents the destruction of whatever field spell is on the field! Next, I'll activate the effect of my Royal Magical Library! By removing three spell counters from it, I can draw a card!" Louise took the next card off the top of her deck.

"I'll now play Pot of Greed! With this, I can draw two cards!" Louise had to hide her smirk at the two new cards, Fairy Meteor Crush and Pitch-Black Power Stone? Yes please! "I'll play one card face down, and that will be the end of my turn!"

Louise was ready. Two spell counters on her Citadel, and a Field Barrier to boot. Not only that, it gained spell counters whenever a spell was played, period. It didn't care much for who was the one placing the cards on the board. And given how it was his first turn, he wasn't going to be able to destroy it.

"I draw!" he said, looking at the card. "I'll activate a spell from my hand! Mystical Space Typhoon, which I'll use to destroy your Field Barrier!" Louise smirked, as her field spell gained another spell counter, bringing it up to three in total.

"I'll activate my trap card, Pitch-Black Power Stone!" Louise declared, flipping the trap face up. Her opponent looked at her, confused, as Mystical Space Typhoon ripped apart the glowing green barrier around her field spell.

"Now I activate Heavy Storm! This destroys all spell and trap cards on the field!" her opponent declared. Louise had to admit, that was quite the clever strategy. Against any other field spell, this combo would have worked. Pitch-Black Power Stone shattered, but all the while, Louise was still grinning. That was exactly what she wanted. All the while, the citadel held against the raging winds.

"What! How is it still on the field!" Louise took great glee in the shock and tone of his voice.

"I activated two of Magical Citadel of Endymion abilities. The first allows me to remove one spell counter from it to prevent it's destruction. The second is whenever a card with spell counters on it is destroyed, the number of spell counters placed on Magical Citadel of Endymion are equal to the number of spell counters on the card. Pitch-Black Power Stone had three," Louise explained, crossing her arms. That would bring her up to six spell counters, even with the one removed. That would be three on her Royal Magical Library, as well. So another free card on the start of her turn.

"Fine. I'll set a monster in face down defense mode, alongside the Scapegoat spell card, and end my turn," he said, as a facedown monster and four small goats in defense position appeared on the field.

Scapegoat Token Atk: 0 Def: 0

"I draw, and I'll follow it up with Royal Magical Library's effect!" Louise said, adding two cards into her hand. Yeah, they wouldn't be of any help winning this duel, but it was still good to check. It was time to win this duel, and her ace monster was going to be the one to deliver the finishing blow. "I activate the effect of a monster in my hand! By removing six spell counters from Magical Citadel of Endymion, I can special summon Endymion, the Master Magician!" A swirl of violet energy erupted from the field, Louise's monster taking shape. Black robes that looked like armor, brilliant gold etched in as trimming, with purple jewels placed on it's surface. It's staff was a shining gold, with a deep purple crystal levitating at the center of the tip.

Endymion, the Master Magician Atk: 2700 Def: 1700

"When he is Special Summoned, I can return one spell card to my hand from my graveyard!" Louise took out Pot of Greed, letting it remain in her hand. "Next I'll equip him with Fairy Meteor Crush! This spell allows it's equipped monster to deal damage even when attacking defense position monsters. And finally, I'll activate Diffusion Wave-Motion. By paying 1000 Life Points, I can select a spellcaster type monster, with seven stars and more than 2500 Attack points. In exchange, this monster can and must attack every creature my opponent controls. Better yet, any monster destroyed by this attack is not only able to use their ability, but it is negated as well."

The look on his face, completely and utterly priceless. Only one creature he had held any attack and defense value. Everything else was about to get eviscerated.

Louise's Life Points went down to 3000 but it didn't matter. Endymions strike had enough damage to win three times over. Each card under her opponent's possession shattered like glass.

Louise: 3000 Life Points

?: 0 Life Points

Honestly, Louise had been expecting a bit more. Oh well. It wasn't any skin off her back. She turned her head to the right, watching as both Jadean and Ruby finished their respective duels, both with monsters she had never seen before.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

I think I'll end this here for the time being. Why they ended up dealing two Obelisk Blue will be addressed next chapter, as will the fallout of such.

Sorry, the late update was caused in part due to me having to study for finals. I hope everyone enjoyed!
