Sub-Chapter 1.3:
A towering woman with blue hair tied back in a formal violet dress approached Nero. Her heavily rimmed glasses and her swaying figure as she approached Nero gave her an air of class and overwhelming wisdom.
"I am Ms. Jadis. I will be your test examiner. Are you ready?"
"Yup," replied Nero. He placed his deck in a slot inside his Duel Disk; it shuffled his deck briefly before locking it in place. Both players drew five cards.
"Let's begin. I will go first." She drew with a soft swish. "I set one monster and one spell or trap card." As she spoke, the face-down cards materialized onto the field. "Turn, end. Show me your knowledge, student."
"It's my turn! I summon Marauding Captain!" As Nero placed the card on his Duel Disk, its image projected to the field, and then a man leaped in, sporting two swords, a plate of armor, and a flowing cape that settled as he landed. "When Marauding Captain is summoned, I can Special Summon one level four or lower monster from my hand! Come out, Command Knight!" A blue portal opened before a woman with long blonde hair and a red color-schemed well-decorated outfit leaped in.
"Warriors? It has indeed been long since I have seen them used. Command Knight's effect will increase the Attack of all Warrior monsters by 400." Both Command Knight's and Marauding Captain's Attacks displayed "Attack: 1200" before rising to 1600.
"Marauding Captain attacks your face-down monster!" Immediately, Marauding Captain brandished its two swords and rushed the face-down card. A bird revealed itself and displayed "Defense: 500" briefly before being chopped in half, scattering into many little pixels.
"Blizzed, Defender of the Ice Barrier's effect activates. When it's destroyed by battle, I draw one card." With a gentle swish, she drew a card from her deck, glanced at it, then added it to her hand.
"Command Knight! Direct attack!" On Nero's command, Command Knight drew her highly decorative rapier and lunged towards Ms. Jadis.
"Trap, activation. Dimensional Prison. I simply remove the attacking monster from play." Before Command Knight's sword reached Ms. Jadis, a dimensional ripped appeared in front of her. The rip absorbed Command Knight's sword, then the rest of her followed suit.
"Dick move! I set two face-down cards. That's all."
"How vulgar. It's my turn." She glanced at the card she just drew, then placed it in a slot on her Duel Disk. "I activate the Spell Card, Magic Triangle of the Ice Barrier! I will reveal three Ice Barrier monsters to you, then destroy one of your monsters, and finally, Special Summon one of them." She revealed Strategist of the Ice Barrier, General Grunard of the Ice Barrier, General Gantala of the Ice Barrier. The image of those three monsters appeared around Marauding Captain; his eyes darted around in panic before he groaned in pain and shattered into pixels, then General Gantala, a bald, dark-skinned man with a blue snowflake-shaped marking on his head and back, stepped onto the field. His clothes revealed his upper, well-toned physique, and his left arm was enveloped in a blue flame. A text box appeared briefly, revealing its 2700 Attack. The other two simply faded.
"Dick move!" Stupid Bald Guy.
"Does your language not cease to be vulgar?" Before Nero could retort, she continued to speak. "However, I have more to do; I summon Strategist of the Ice Barrier." A venerable man with a long mustache, scholarly robes, and a cone-shaped hat ambled onto the field. Briefly, another text box with the words: "Attack: 1600" appeared. "I'll activate his effect! I discard one Ice Barrier monster to draw one card!" She revealed General Grunard of the Ice Barrier, then slid it into the top slot on her Duel Disk before drawing one card from her deck.
I wonder what was the point of that.
"Battle! General Gantala of the Ice Barrier, direct attack!" The blue flame on General Gantala's hand flared as he rushed towards Nero to deliver a spear-hand strike at his chest.
"Go, Magic Cylinder!" As General Gantala struck, two red cylinders materialized right in front of Nero. One absorbed Gentala's blow; the other aimed itself at Ms. Jadis.
"A Trap card that negates the attack and inflicts damage equal to the attacking monster's attack." Ms. Jadis merely watched as the red cylinder pointed towards her shot a white beam of light and her Life Point display appeared, displaying "Life Points: 8000" before dropping to 5300. "Strategist of the Ice Barrier, Direct Attack!" The venerable man flicked his wrist, and talismans flew towards Nero; they stuck to him before exploding, causing his Life Point Display to read 6400. "At the end of my turn, General Gantala of the Ice Barrier is able to Special Summon one Ice Barrier Monster from my graveyard. Come back, General Grunard of the Ice Barrier!"
"What?" A weirdo.. a weirdo in weirdo blue snowflake armor with a weirdo giant blue sword appeared.. And it's got 2800 Attack! She's already got two high leveled monsters on the field. I better draw something good.
"It's your turn."
"Yes it is! Draw!" Ms. Jadis noticed a green glimmer as Nero, with a single sweeping motion, drew his card and played it. "I activate the spell card, Sword of Revealing Light!" With several clinging sounds, sword-shaped lights fell from the sky and pinned themselves onto Ms. Jadis's field.
"Those swords will prevent me from attacking for three of my turns as long as Swords of Revealing Light remains on the field."
"I set one monster and one Spell or Trap card, then end my turn."
"It's my turn. Draw. I summon Samurai of the Ice Barrier." A man in light, ice-blue ancient Eastern armor and helmet materialized with his sword pointed at Nero. "Then, with General Grunard's effect, I can summon another "Ice Barrier" monster this turn. Come out, the Tuner monster, Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier." A dark-skinned man with a very lean build, a Nordic hat, and a staff with a snowflake-shaped tip landed in a gust of cold wind.
"What's a Tuner monster again?"
Ms. Jadis sighed. "Are you not knowledgeable about one of the most powerful mechanics of this game? Allow me to show you what you lack. Tuning! My level four Samurai of the Ice Barrier to my level two Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier!" Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier turned into two rings of green light and surrounded the outline of Samurai of the Ice Barrier. "The spear of living ice, I unseal thee. Become the weapon of legend and breathe death upon my foe! Synchro Summon! Oh, Armament of God! Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!" In a flash of light, an ice-blue serpent slithered in, massive, at least four times the size of General Gantala of the Ice Barrier. Its breath constantly seemed to condensate. A text box appeared briefly and displayed "Attack: 2300".
"Whoa, what is that card?"
"Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier's effect activates!" declared Ms. Jadis, ignoring Nero. "I discard any number of cards in my hand to return the the same amount back to your hand! Blizzard Wind! I return Swords of Revealing Light and your face-down card back to your hand!" Brionac roared, then a sudden rush of chilling wind blew away the sword-shaped lights and Nero's face-down card.
"You're allowed to do that?"
"Battle! Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, attack his face-down monster! Absolute Zero Flare!" Brionac slowly opened its mouth and spewed a light-blue wind. Nero's face-down monster flipped itself over, revealing a young woman with dirty-blonde hair and green clothing; over it was a tattered brown mantle and a hat. She raised her sword to defend herself, but the ice overtook her and shattered her into pixels.
"When Warrior Lady of the Wasteland is destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon an EARTH Warrior-type with 1500 Attack points or less from my deck. I bring out another Warrior Lady of the Wasteland!" A card slid out from Nero's deck, then he pulled it out and placed it on his Duel Disk horizontally. However, its image wouldn't project onto the screen. Nero scratched his head before turning it 90 degrees. Warrior Lady of the Wasteland leaped onto the field with her sword brandished and ready to attack. A text box displayed briefly her 1100 Attack points. "Why can't I place this in Defense mode?"
"You forgot to mention that it only brings out monsters in Attack position. Strategist of the Ice Barrier! Attack Warrior Lady of the Wasteland!" Strategist of the Ice Barrier flicked his wrist once more, and talismans flew towards Warrior Lady of the Wasteland. She screamed before exploding violently into pixels, then Nero's Life Point Display dwindled to 5900.
"Again!" Nero swiftly placed the third copy of Warrior Lady of the Wasteland on his Duel Disk, projecting her image to the field.
"General Gantala of the Ice Barrier attacks Warrior Lady of the Wasteland!" General Gantala ignited his open hand and struck the third Warrior Lady of the Wasteland, causing Nero's Life to drop to 4300.
"Oh crap. What monster do I pull out now?" He skimmed through the holographic menu box that listed the remaining EARTH Warrior-type monsters with 1500 Attack or less. "Um, go! Obnoxious Celtic Guardian!" A blonde-haired elf in light green armor hurried where the last Warrior Lady of the Wasteland was defeated, brandishing his longsword. A small display read "Attack: 1400".
"Very well. General Grunard of the Ice Barrier attacks Obnoxious Celtic Guardian!"
"He can't be destroyed in battle by a monster of 1900 attack points or more!" General Grunard raised his massive ice sword and struck Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, but instead of shattering into pixels, he tumbled until he slid back on his feet.
"However, you still take the battle damage!" Nero's Life Points dwindled to 2900. "At the end of my turn, Gantala's effect allows me to Special Summon an Ice Barrier monster from the graveyard. Come back, Defender of the Ice Barrier!" A fox-like monster with icicles protruding along the top of its tail appeared. A brief box appeared, displaying "Defense: 1600."
"Oh, okay." I can't lose. This is the most important duel I've ever had. Duan said that he won't go unless all three of us makes it. There's no doubt he would make it, but I'm not nearly as strong as him. I don't want to be the one holding him back when he can do great things.
"Come on, let's go! Draw!" Nero glanced at the card he just drew and played it immediately. "I play the Continuous Spell Card, Solidarity! Since all the monsters in my Graveyard are Warriors, the attack of all Warriors on my side of the field goes up by 800!" Obnoxious Celtic Guardian's Attack climbed to 2200. "I then play the Swords of Revealing Light!" Once more, several sword-shaped lights pinned down Ms. Jadis's monsters. "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian! Attack!" Obnoxious Celtic Guardian's sword became encased in ice; rather than attacking, he spent his efforts futilely trying to smash the ice. "Huh? What's wrong?"
"When there's another Ice Barrier on my side of the field, your monsters with attack greater than Defender of the Ice Barrier's Defense can't attack!"
"What? DICK MOVE!" Nero sighed before glancing over the field, his hand now empty.
"Honestly, what were you thinking, rushing in without taking note of my monster effects?"
It doesn't seem like I've made a good impression. "Well, that's all, then."
"It's my turn. Draw. Tuning!"
"Huh?" I still don't quite understand what's she's doing. How does she know what monster's a Tuner? How does she know what monster to pull out? Why are Synchro Monster cards white? Does she spend her time coming up with Summon chants like Duan and X do?
"My level four Strategist of the Ice Barrier to my level three Tuner Defender of the Ice Barrier!" Defender of the Ice Barrier turned into three rings of green light and surrounded the outline of Strategist of the Ice Barrier. "The spear of divine ice, I unseal thee. Become the weapon of legend and strike my foes without fail! Synchro Summon! Oh, Armament of God! Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!" With a flash of blue light, a creature made of dark-blue ice stood on its four legs and raised its frozen wings before it roared.
"Another one.."
"Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier's effect activates! I discard up to two cards and destroy an equal number of cards on the field. I discard the last card in my hand to destroy Swords of Revealing Light! Divine Ice Lance!" Gungnir roared once more before icicles appeared from the sky and impaled the image of Swords of Revealing Light, causing the sword-shaped lights to fade out.
"Uh-oh."
"Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier! Attack!"
"Oh crap, oh crap-brr!" Obnoxious Celtic Guardian braced himself for before a cold stream chilled him and Nero, and then his Life Points dropped to 2800.
"Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier! Attack! Divine Ice Lance!"
"Wait, do I have something down-ow!" Gungnir roared, then icicles rapidly rose from the surface, plowing through Obnoxious Celtic Guardian and Nero. His Life Points dropped to 2500.
"General Gantala of the Ice Barrier! Attack!"
"Oh! Trap, activate! Kunai with Chain! I equip it to Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, and it gains 500 Attack!" Obnoxious Celtic Guardian's Attack climbed up to 2700 when a bladed sickle attached to a chain appeared in his free hand. "Oh, crap! I forgot about switching General Bald Guy to defense mode!"
"How rude! It's General Gantala, not 'Bald Guy!'"
"He's still bald!" Nero insisted. General Gantala thrust his hand at the Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, but it caught Gantala with its new weapon, and then countered with its sword, causing General Gantala to shatter into pixels. "Oh, it worked out in the end."
"General Grunard attacks Obnoxious Celtic Guardian!" Again, General Grunard struck Obnoxious Celtic Guardian with its wide blue sword, causing him to groan and then tumble until he stood back on his feet. Nero's Life Point display read 2400. "Turn, end."
"Stupid General Weirdo."
Ms. Jadis's patience seemed to vanish as she fumed and brandished her finger at him. "He's NOT General Weirdo! It's Grunard! You do not insult my cards, you buffoon!"
"He's still a weirdo."
"Go already!"
"Okay, okay, you don't have to rush me." Nero had no cards in his hand. He glanced at his deck, slowly placed his hand on it, closed his eyes, then drew. When his eyes opened, he played the card he drew immediately. "I activate the Spell Card, Cup of Ace!" The card's image projected to the field, revealing a golden goblet.
Ms. Jadis's jaw dropped. "No, really?"
"Uh, yeah. Please be heads, please be heads." The goblet spun rapidly for a long ten seconds before rolling across the field. The two duelists watched it with anticipation.
"If I lose because of this..." Ms. Jadis's voice trailed off as the goblet unceremoniously landed face-up, indicating Heads.
"YEAH! With Cup of Ace's effect, I draw two cards!" Nero took the top two cards of his deck and added them to his empty hand. "I activate my face-down Spell Card, The Warrior Returning Alive! I can add a Warrior-Type monster from my graveyard to my hand. I add Marauding Captain!"
"That was the card I returned to his hand? If I didn't overestimate you, I would have won!"
"Then, I summon Marauding Captain! With its effect, I Special Summon my Ace monster, Mataza the Zapper!" After Marauding Captain appeared to the field, he once again raised his sword; a blue portal opened before a young man in Eastern green armor with his black hair tied back into a ponytail leaped through. When he landed, his Attack Display read 1300 before climbing up to 2100 due to Solidarity's effect.
"What the." Mataza the Zapper's effect allows it to attack twice, but I'm not sure how that's an Ace card. "However, Mataza the Zapper and Marauding Captain will only be destroyed by my monsters next turn."
"I equip Mataza the Zapper with the Spell Card, United We Stand! Mataza the Zapper gains 800 Attack points for every monster on my side of the field. That's 2400 Attack points." Mataza the Zapper glowed a golden color as his Attack climbed to 4500.
"That means.." Ms. Jadis immediately realized she was going to lose.
"Obnoxious Celtic Guardian! Attack Brionac!" Ms. Jadis's Life Points read 4900. "Mataza the Zapper! Attack General Weirdo-"
"IT'S GENERAL GRUNARD!"
"Grunard and Gungnir! Secret Technique, Four-Dimensional Cut!" Mataza the Zapper simply landed past them and sheathed his sword; General Grunard and Gungnir both received several sword slashes before shattering into pixels. Her Life Points dwindled to 1100.
"Marauding Captain! Direct attack!" He leaped into the air once more with his two swords drawn, then descended and slashed at Ms. Jadis, who fell to her knees when her Life Point display gave a low beep as it dropped to zero.
"My reputation.. my reputation as a teacher is over." Her head drooped while she spoke. "Congratulations, you passed. Welcome to Duel Academy."
"YEAH!" He swung his arms up and down, then strutted across the arena triumphantly.
Ms. Jadis took a step, then paused to allow Nero to calm down. "..Here's your prize." Ms. Jadis took some cards from a pocket on her violet dress and handed them to Nero. "Be sure to learn how to Synchro Summon before coming to class."
"Did I make a good impression?" asked Nero optimistically.
"You passed," she uttered in a low voice. "You should be happy enough with that." Nero avoided her unnerving glare and hurried towards the exit.
"Congratulations on passing, Nero Ushiyama" a feminine voice behind him said. Nero turned around to find a student facing the direction he was walking towards. He couldn't see much of her, just her thick, waist-long blue hair and a slender figure. "Your fight was in vain, however. Your friend would have ended up going even if you had you stayed home."
When'd she pop up behind me? I didn't even notice her! "What are you talking about?"
"Your promise, right?" the student said, continuing to face away from Nero.
Another weird lady who knows too much? "How do you know about our promise?"
"They call me the Oracle. It's not too late to back down. You don't have to go if you don't want to. I will absolutely see to it that your friend goes. He and your other friend will suffer if you go with them to Duel Academy."
Nero took out a coin and flicked it high in the air. It fell to the ground, landing on an eye, indicating heads. "I'm going with him, no matter what you say."
"A two-sided coin." The Oracle raised her hand over where her face appeared to be and chuckled almost cynically. "Interesting. It's okay, either way. Go on, Duan is waiting for you. X will join your celebration soon." She waved casually with the back of her hand as she ambled away. Nero merely shrugged and continued in the opposite direction.
Just before he opened the door, he heard Duan's voice say, "I'll meet you after school on the first day."
When Nero walked out the door, he saw Duan waving at a distant figure. Of course, it's no surprise that Duan's already here, but who was he talking to? He turned around and approached Nero.
"Well?" Duan asked.
"I won!"
"Congratulations!"
"Oh, what about X? You're not going without him too, are you?"
"Right. It looked like he was having some trouble. I've heard that Section A had the most failed students so far."
"Eh, he'll be fine," Nero said dismissively.
"You say that so confidently now."
"You can say it's a good feeling."
Duan scratched his head thoughtfully. "Well, it's better to believe in him anyways."
Extra 1.3
After hours of scurrying around Duel Academy with no sign of the hooded figure, Duan took a moment to catch his breath. "I'm lost. Where am I?" He ambled slowly into a few condensed hallways before stopping. "Is someone crying?"
"I can't believe I lost to someone who used a Warrior Deck and Cup of Ace!" a feminine voice cried in between sobs.
"Warrior Deck? Cup of Ace?" Duan's mind immediately thought of Nero, who used such a combination.
"What?" she suddenly shouted, causing Duan to flinch. "You're breaking up with me? WHY? Don't hang up!"
"I don't know if I should ask her for directions or not. She seems so distressed."
"Is someone here?" Duan heard her say quickly and softly.
Whoa, she regained her composure quickly. "Um, hello. Did something happen?"
"No, it's nothing. Please, come in." Duan obliged, opening the door and walking in slowly. He glanced at Ms. Jadis's face; he eyes seemed somewhat puffy but her tears had already been dried, then he examined the room.
"This is a pretty room." Around him, several star ornaments hung from the ceiling, several shelves of vintage books hugged the walls, a desk with neatly stacked paperwork sitting on one of its corners. The lighting itself is bright, though scattered by the crystal stars.
"Thank you, and you are?"
"Duan."
"A pleasure to meet you, Duan. I am Ms. Jadis, and I will be teaching History to the first years this semester. I was one of the test examiners. Did you recently pass?"
"Yes, I dueled against Mr. Freedus, I believe." She petted her chin and peered at Duan.
"Could you by chance be the 'idiot, coward, liar, poverty-stricken' duelist that he was talking about?"
"Huh? Did he say all of that?"
"He only mentioned poverty-stricken as he came back from testing. A spectator from the stands called you the rest."
"Who would call me such a thing?"
"Would you like to duel? One may call you such things, but in a duel, your true nature shows."
"Oh, sure." While Duan thought he should really ask for directions back to the entrance, he pulled his deck out of his Duel Disk, thinking there is no sense to to project holograms in such a small room. Ms. Jadis followed suit.
Several minutes later.
"Junk Warrior!" Duan declared. He tapped the white-colored card near him and pointed to Ms. Jadis. "Attack! Scrap Fist!" Ms. Jadis glanced at a sheet of paper she used to keep track of their Life Points, then threw it up in air.
"What?" Her voice returned to its shrill, distressed tone as she lost her temperament. "First, I lose to a random no-brained duelist, then I lose to a random, poverty-stricken deck?"
"Er, my deck really isn't all that random, and please don't call it poverty-stricken."
"Yes it is! It has no archetype, it's littered with random, common cards that mainly focused on destroying cards, and yet," her distressed voice suddenly returned to normal, "You have a proper strategy that worked well for that deck. Congratulations. Here." Ms. Jadis pulled out a card from a drawer her desk and handed it to him.
"Thank you!" Duan glanced at the orange-bordered card labeled "Geomancer of the Ice Barrier" before placing it inside his jacket pocket.
A creaking noise from behind caused the two of them to turn their attention to the door. "Duan?" Nero called out in between his exhausted breathing. X walked in, also out of breath. "Why'd you run off?"
Duan raised his hand to greet them. "Oh, hey guys."
Her face immediately paled at the sight of Nero. "WHAT? You're friends with, with, with that Duelist?" The three of them froze in place and turned their heads to face the now distressed Ms. Jadis.
"Uh, yes?"
"NOOOOOO! Get out! Get out!" As she furiously signaled them to leave, Nero, Duan, and X hastily obeyed, scurrying out the door.
"Nero, what did you do to her?" asked Duan while exchanging glances with X.
Nero shrugged. "I dunno. Adults never were that sensible."
"I hope she's not going to be our teacher," X commented. "Let's head back."
