Chapter 7 - A Lady Can Take Care Of Herself - The Legendary Light Witch

"Hey get back here Scott!" shouts Sera finally catching up to Scott Layton and his gang.

"What's wrong Sera, you come to tell me you want to go out with me?" asks Scott acting big for his friends

"No, I am here to ask you why the hell you had you lackey duel without the safety protocols active on his duel disc" shouts Sera now getting highly annoyed with Scott "you could have seriously hurt Axel"

"I didn't hear him complain once, besides who cares if one lousy Slifer gets hurt. All the better if they weren't even around." says Scott. Sera stomps forward and slaps Scott as hard as she can "you pathetic little worm."

She goes to march away "Looks like she's a bit frisky today boys" says Scott to his friends

"Go blow yourself" is all sera says well giving a certain finger gesture and walks away

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Now boys, I need you to tell me the truth, has Axel been duelling with the safety protocols turned off on his duel disc?" asks Doctor Daphne, the head of the medical ward at duel academy.

"Not that I'm aware of" says Drake completely confused

"The only time I have known him duel with safeties turned off was back when we first met, he was showing off and got hurt doing it. He hasn't done it since" says Kenny

"I didn't even know about the time Kenny knew about" says Feniks honestly.

"Well has he duelled today?" asks the doctor

"Yeah just before he collapsed." replies Drake

"Who won? And did anything happen to his opponent?" asks the doctor well writing stuff down

"Axel won." says Feniks "I don't know who his opponent was, some one in obelisk blue. nothing happened to them"

"He was facing Sakimaru, the mecha duellist and I can tell you what happened doctor." comes the voice of Sera as she walks into the ward carrying Axel's duel disc in her hands. "Sakimaru had the safeties off on his duel disc, Axel must have been fighting against the pain most of the duel, it is lucky he didn't take a direct attack."

"What would have happened if he had?" asks Kenny

"His mind probably would have gone into shock" says the Doctor

"Will he be alright?" asks Drake

"He will be fine by the morning, he will join you in class then." says the doctor not really worried

"We will be back in the morning to pick him up then" says Feniks stretching out

"You mean your just going to leave him here?" asks Sera

"Not a lot we can do, and curfew starts in 30 minutes, we don't want to be caught out side after that." says Kenny picking up his bag

"Come on Sera, we will walk you back to the Obelisk Blue dorm" says Drake "we have enough time to get you there and get back to the slifer dorm."

"It's alright guys, i will be fine going back by myself" says Sera placing Axel's deck by the bed he is lying in. "besides, guys aren't allowed near the girls dorm."

"You sure?" asks Drake

"Yeah, I will be fine" answers Sera taking one last look at Axel, now breathing normalised and sleeping soundly.

"Ok then, we will see you in the morning." says Feniks heading out the room. Drake and Kenny both leave with a wave.

'Scott will play for this' thinks Sera before heading out of the room.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Axel opens his eyes slowly, letting them adjust to the light in the room before noticing he is not in his dorm room, the sickening white ceilings been the biggest clue to where he was. 'I hate hospitals' is all he mumbles before he hears foot steps getting closer to him. "Ah good your awake, how do you feel?" says the doctor

"Like I was hit by a bus" says Axel adding in a tired yawn

"Well maybe it will teach you not to Duel against someone when the Safety systems aren't all active"

"It's not like i had a choice, besides how did I get here, the last thing I remember was finding it hard to breath then just blackness" says Axel before finally looking at the doctor "and who are you?"

"Such a rude boy, I am Doctor Daphne, head doctor here at duel academy and your friends brought you in, they should be here shortly to take you to class"

"What time is it?"

"It is 7:45, class starts in 15 minutes time" says the doctor as the door to the ward opens up and Drake, Kenny and Feniks step through.

"Morning doctor" says all three with a polite bow at the same time

"Good morning boys, your friend has just woken up. i just want to give him a once over to see if he is alright then you can take him to class. Would you mind waiting outside during the examination"

The three step outside well Daphne performs the examination on Axel. It is only a few minutes before Axel steps out of the room, him and the 3 guys walk to class.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Sera walks to class, on time unlike the day before. She had left her Obelisk blue friends and was hoping to get into class early and see if Axel was there but upon entering the room she sees he isn't there, unfortunately Scott Layton's gang is. She takes her seat in the middle row of the lecture hall and sits waiting for other people to arrive and trying to ignore the looks she is getting from Scott's gang. After a few minutes she hears someone sit in the seat next to her and then feels an arm move around her shoulder. She just glances over noticing it is Scott before elbowing him in the stomach "remove your arm from around me before I get angry" says Sera giving a death glare to Scott who doesn't listen

"Come on Sera, you know you have liked me for years. You can drop the act" says Scott still not even noticing the glare

"Scott, get it into your head. I HAVE NEVER LIKED YOU, I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN GO OUT WITH YOU" shouts sera now forcibly moving scotts arm

"Come on, your Slifer boyfriend isn't around so you can say how you really feel" says Scott moving closer to Sera

"Back off" says sera before slapping him around the side of his face, when he doesn't move away Sera goes to slap him again but Scott grabs her hand

"Come now Sera, play nice"

"Scott, if you know what is good for you, you will back off right now" says a voice from behind them

Scott turns around seeing Axel sitting behind them, Drake, Feniks and Kenny in the row behind Axel.

"Stay out of this slacker!" says Scott

"I don't think I will since I have some serious unfinished business with you after that little stunt of yours" says Axel cracking his knuckles

Scott goes to say something but several students come through the door and he just gets up and walks away mouthing to Axel 'this isn't over' to which Axel mouths back 'any time'.

"I hope he didn't bother you to much Sera" says Axel now turning to the obelisk blue girl in front of him

"No, I was just about to get rid of him. How are you feeling Axel?"

"I can't complain, but I am hungry" says Axel as his stomach growls slightly, he then looks around at the nearly empty room "By the way where is everyone? Doesn't class start like now?"

"Class doesn't start till 8:15 today" says Drake playing about on his PDA

"Great, anyone got any food?" asks Axel which causes Sera to giggle, before she takes out her lunch and hands it over to him

"Have this, I will get something else for myself later"

"Thanks" says Axel before starting to eat

"Sera, why are you associating with a bunch of Slifers?" asks an annoyed female voice from behind them

"Yeah Sera, why don't you come with us well we go sit with Scott" says a different voice

Sera turns towards the voices, which she obviously recognises as he friends "I am happy here, I prefer to stay away from trash like Scott and his gang"

The girls all look down there nose at Sera "what is with you, your an obelisk, your not meant to hang around with Slifers" says a blonde haired girl, the obvious leader of the pack

"I would rather hang around with these guys, they aren't elitist snobs" says Sera turning away from her 'friends'

"I wouldn't..." starts Feniks before Axel covers his mouth

"As Feniks was saying Axel here used..." Axel uses his other hand to cover Kenny's mouth

"Axel here, before we knocked some sense into him was somewhat of an Elitist. Just because he won a tournament that gave him the title of Master of Alchemy" says Drake well Axel glares at him

"But he isn't like that now though" says Sera not caring what Axel used to be like

"Yeah, I haven't classed myself above anyone in a long time." says Axel "I know I'm not the best, especially since i only scraped through the entrance exam"

"ALRIGHT CLASS, TAKE YOUR SEATS." shouts a male teacher, in a Slifer Red Blazer that is unfastened showing a shirt and tie underneath it, from the front of the room. All the students quickly move to find seats "I am Professor Porter. Today we are going to start on learning about Field Spell Cards. Now can anyone tell me what a Field spell is?" he points to a student at the front of the room who answers the question

- - - - - - - - - - -

Sera sighs with relieve as the bell signalling dinner, the morning hard been quite mundane but she had gotten a laugh when Axel had fallen asleep in class and Porter had asked him a question. She picks up her bag and goes to leave the room following Axel, Drake and Feniks to the dinner hall. Kenny had said he was meeting a girl called Chell in which the other guys had just wished him luck, making Sera assume that it was a girl Kenny was intending to ask out.

"Sera, what would you like to eat?" asks Axel as they are walking "Since I ate your dinner it only fair that I buy you something"

"You don't have to buy me anything" says Sera blushing slightly

"Sera, don't bother arguing with him" says Feniks who is walking in front, just turning his head slightly "when he wants to, he can be stubborn"

"So what do you want?" asks Axel again

"What are you going to get?" says Sera replying with her own question

"I was going to see what sandwiches there were. if there was nothing I wanted there I was going to get some Ramen"

"At least it isn't a lucky dip sandwich choice today" says Drake with a hint of disgust in his voice

"What's wrong with lucky dip?" asks sera

"Back at are old school they used to do it every day. In the selection there was only ever the stuff no one in there right mind would buy normally!" says Feniks with a laugh remembering the day drake had actually tried it and gotten a Tamato, Tuna, Chill sauce and mayoaise sandwich and had spent most the afternoon throwing up after just one bite.

"They weren't so bad" says axel

"Says the guy who actually picked out a sandwich from there with mould on it" says drake still with disgust in his voice

"That was one time, and it wasn't like I ate it." Protests Axel

"No you threw it at the lunch lady and got detention for a week" says Feniks who is not laughing uncontrollably

"She deserved it for not letting me choose another one" says Axel trying to defend himself

"You threw a mouldy sandwich at the lunch lady?" questions Sera trying hard not to laugh

"I didn't aim for her"

"No you were aiming for the headmaster of the school" says Drake opening the door to the lunch hall

"Let me get this straight, you threw a mouldy sandwich aiming for the Head teacher of your school but hit a lunch lady?" asks Sera now laughing almost as much as Feniks

"When you put it like that it makes it sound bad." says Axel with a sigh

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Come on Boss forget about Sera" says Shiro "she isn't worth all this trouble your going through"

"She will be mine" says Scott "and I want that slacker and his gang taken out"

"Not a problem boss" says Sakimaru "I was one move away from beating that punk Axel, just give me another chance"

"Axel isn't the problem" says a red haired member of the group, of similar height to Scott "that guy Drake was able to beat the boss"

"He got lucky against me Freddy." says Scott well scowling "I will beat him next time"

"Let me try next boss" says the last member of the gang, a dark haired guy just a bit shorter than Sakimaru "they won't win against me"

"Alright Kenji" says Scott taking a bite out of his lunch "I think we should go after the one who likes to flirt with all the girls"

"I think his name is Kenny" says Shiro "The deck he ran in the exam was a basic beat down deck."

"I saw him walking with some Slifer chick outside" says Sakimaru

"We wait till after class" says Scott "Chancellor Crowler is taking us for class this afternoon so we don't want to run the risk of been late. If we are then we run the chance of been kicked out of the academy."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Crowler stands at the front of the lecture room, he had become chancellor just last year when Shepherd had retired.

"Good afternoon class, this afternoon we shall be learning about tag team duelling. This shall be a project for the next few weeks and there will be a practical exam on this. For the exam I shall be choosing your partners, and you will be given just one hour after your told who your partner is to prepare a stratagy." says Crowler now scanning the students in the room. "Do not be fooled if you have seen the world tag team duelling tournaments on TV, it is not as easy as they make it look. It takes years of working and planning with your partner to make a truly effective team. Then there is the aspect of both duellists having decks that complement each other perfectly."

As Crowler goes on about the finer points of tag duelling a piece of paper hits Sera in the back of her head. trying not to look suspicious she leans down and picks up the paper and opens it up. She reads the message on it in her head 'Duel Arena 3 after class'. She instantly recognises the writing and nudges Kenny who is sitting next to her showing him the message telling him to pass it on down to the others. "I don't know why but Scott wants to duel me" she says once the others have read the note.

- - - - - - - - - - -

"Idiot" says Scott under his breath as the message hits Sera instead of Kenny. "Shiro how could you have missed him, he is 3 rows infront"

"I told you I wasn't the best to use for that" says shiro in protest

"We will clear it up when we get there" says Kenji "I want to face kenny"

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Sera stands on the duel platform well Axel, Drake, Feniks and Kenny stand by her waiting for Scott and his gang to get there. But the entirety of Scotts gang doesn't turn up instead just Shiro and Kenji do. "This doesn't concern you Sera, move aside I want to face the womaniser" says Kenji with a serious look on his face.

"If you wanted to face me you have challenged me instead of her" says Kenny taking out a duel disc from his bag

"That would be my fault" admits Shiro "the challenge was meant to be for you but I hit the wrong target"

"I don't care who Kenji wants to face, I want to duel Scott NOW" says Sera

"You will find him waiting outside the front of the academy for you Sera." says Shiro "but he doesn't want to duel you, he is only interested in you going out there leaving the Slacker Squad"

"Who are the slacker squad?" asks Axel

"You 4 are" says Kenji seeming more anxious to duel

"I would prefer that you didn't refer to us as Slackers" says drake "in fact I was offered a spot in Obelisk Blue but I turned it down and choose to be in Slifer since Red is my favourite colour."

"So what, you will always be slackers" says Shiro

Sera starts walking towards the exit of the stadium "If Scott is outside I am going to duel him, I want to humiliate him after what he pulled this morning."

"Axel go with her" says Drake "don't let anything happen"

"I won't" says Axel "Kenny, beat this guy" he then runs off after Sera

Drake and Feniks jump down off the stadium so does Shiro as the two duellists remaining draw their 6 cards and the word "DUEL" echoes around the room

- - - - - - - - - -

"Axel I don't need you to baby sit me" says Sera as the two of them reach the main entrance of the academy

"I know you don't need me to be here but I want to support you" says Axel in a completely relaxed state

"You don't think I will lose?" asks Sera looking down to the floor

"What makes you think your going to lose?" asks Axel

"Well the truth is I have never beat Scott before." says Sera stopping "we went to the same prep school and he beat me every single time we were forced to duel."

"So, that doesn't mean your going to lose now" says Axel with a smile "and if you do lose it doesn't matter, so long as you try your hardest"

"How touching" comes the voice of Scott "what's next, tell her that if she loses you won't dump her"

"What is it with you Scott? why do you think I am dating him?" asks Sera

"i don't think it, I just know it gets a rise out of both of you" laughs out Scott "I know you really love me Sera that's why you would never go with the slacker,"

"Lets put it this way Scott, I would sooner go out with Axel than I would you" says Sera with a smirk noticing Scott turn instantly to anger but doesn't notice the slight blush on Axel's face

"What does that stupid slacker have that I don't? I'm a much better duellist than he is" half shouts Scott

"You want to put that to the test" says Axel narrowing his eyes

"Axel stay out of this, he is mine" says Sera "I won't lose to him again"

"What makes you think I want to duel you again Sera, during the 5 years at prep school you never once beat me" says Scott "I would much rather duel the slacker"

"Beat him Sera" is all Axel says

"Alright" says Sera placing her deck in the card drive

"If you insist Sera but just so you know i will defeat you again." says Scott shrugging his shoulders

"JUST SHUT UP SCOTT..." says Sera before they both shout "DUEL"

SERA HIKARI VS SCOTT LAYTON

"Normally I would say ladies first but you made the challenge so I am going to go first" says Scott "and I summon Silent swordsman lv3 (1000/1000) in attack mode and activate the spell quick attack allowing my swordsman to attack you directly this turn."

Sera - 3000

Scott - 4000

"I end my turn with a face down card" says Scott looking smug

"I draw and summon The Apprentice of the White Witch in attack mode (1200/0900)" says Sera as a small 12 year old child in white robes and a spell book in her hands appears on the field. "Thanks to her special ability she allows me to draw one card for every card with White Witch in the name on the field. Since there is just one I draw 1 card. Now my Apprentice attack his silent swordsman"

The girl starts to chant then throws a fire ball at the swordsman but it hits a barrier "I activate my trap warrior protection shield, it stops one attack." says Scott

"Ok, I end my turn with two cards face down" says Sera as the two cards appear in front of her

"First I draw and level my silent swordsman to level 5 (2300/1000)" says Scott as his swordsman increases in size. "Then I summon Dark Blade in attack mode (1800/1500)". The black armoured knight appears by the silent swordsman "I now activate the spell card known as "Dark Spear" I can equip this to a warrior type most to increase it's attack points by 300 points and I equip it to my Dark Blade (2100/1500). Now Dark Blade attack her Apprentice" the knight lunges sword and pierces the apprentice with the spear

Sera - 2100

Scott - 4000

"This was to easy. Attack now silent swordsman" shouts Scott

"Not so fast I activate White Witch Mirror. This trap can only be activated when I have no monsters on the field allowing me to redirect one of your monsters attacks back at one of your creatures. Meaning your Swordsman will now attack Dark Blade". the silent swordsman after looking into the mirror turns around and slices the dark blade in half

Sera - 2100

Scott - 3800

"Fine, so you saved yourself this turn but next turn I promise you I will win" says Scott

"Ok I draw and summon White Witch lv4 (1500/1000) in attack mode" says Sera well a female in her mid teens with silver hair appears on the field in a white robe. "Then i activate my face down card "Book of White Magic", this allow me to level up my White Witch to lv6 (2400/1500)". The female turns into a full grown woman in her mid 20's. "Finally I play pot of greed to allow me to draw two cards and I play one of those cards i drew "White Witch Ritual". It allows me to give up monsters from my hand with level equal to 8 to summon "The Legendary Mistress of White Magic" (3500/2000)". A woman in her late 50's appears on the field in a similar robe to the other monsters so far except for this time her robes are covered in different gems. "Thanks to my Mistresses special ability I can search my deck to bring a monster with White Witch in it's name to my hand then I must shuffle my deck". Sera shuffles her deck "now I attack your Silent Swordsman with my White Witch Level 6" the witch let's loose a ray of light from her hand after chanting a spell destroying the swordsman

Sera - 2100

Scott - 3700

"Now Mistress attack him directly" the old witch raises her hand and Scott is struck by another ray of light, this one much brighter

Sera - 2100

Scott - 0200

"I end my turn with a face down card" says Sera

"I won't let you win" says Scott failing to hold in his anger "I draw and activate Swords of Revealing Light, this stops you from attacking me for 3 turns. i place a monster in defence mode and end my turn"

"I draw and will pass the rest" says Sera waiting out the swords

"I draw again and summon another monster in defence mode" says Scott now starting to sweat

"I draw and place a card face down" says Sera

"I draw and place a third monster in defence mode" says Scott now realising the seriousness of his situation

"I draw and pass ending your swords of revealing light" says Sera as the swords disappear

"Then it is time to bring this duel to close, I sacrifice 2 of my face down monsters to summon my ultimate monster, stop me if you remember this guy Sera. I summon "Blade Master of the Realm" (3200/1000) and thanks to his special ability brings back an equip card from my graveyard and i bring back Dark Spear, equiping him with it to increase his attack by 300 points (3500/1000)." Scott laughs as his blade master stares at the two witches "Finally I equip him with "Blade of the Master" to increase his attack by a further 500 attack points (4000/1000). Now since that mistress of yours is dangerous to me… Blade Master attack her Mistress of White Magic"

The blade master charges forward and slices through the witch.

Sera - 1600

Scott - 0200

"Sera, why didn't you activate your face down card?" asks Axel completely confused

"Because his blade master negates any trap used against him" says Sera

"That's right, now I end my turn" says Scott

"I draw and I level up my witch to level 8 (2800/2400)" says Sera

"I wondered when you were going to level up that silly little witch of yours" laughs out Scott not the least bit worried

"I was biding my time Scott. I didn't want to waste her ability, which now activates. I have to discard a monster with White Witch in it's name from my hand. But then half of the discarded monsters attack points are added to my witches until the end of turn. I discard the card I brought to my hand via my Mistress of White Magic's special ability my Legendary White Witch (3100/2000) so that's 1550 attack points added to my White Witch lv8 (4350/2400)."

"Wait a minute that mean your witch... Sera don't" says Scott realising he is going to lose

"NOW ATTACK HIS BLADE MASTER" the white witch releases a massive ray of light which first engulfs the blade master then turns it to dust with the sheer heat of the light

Sera - 1600

Scott - 0000

WINNER OF THE DUEL - SERA HIKARI

Scott stares in shock at the result "how? You were never this good!" says Scott his mouth hanging open

"I was always this good, but before the entry exams I never had this deck" says Sera with her back to Scott "my old deck was wrong for me, but over the summer my sister visited me."

"I remember you talking about your sister back in prep. She is a world class duellist" says Scott

"That's right, she helped me reconstruct my deck into what it is now ready for my time here." finishes Sera before walking off back to the academy building

"Sera" whispers Axel as she walks passed him

"Come on Axel, Kenny might still be duelling" says Sera

Axel doesn't say anything just follows her. "Slacker, Sera... this isn't over" shouts Scott
