Hey everyone! Remember when I said I an original chapter in mind? Well, here it is! I hope you enjoy it and leave your thoughts on this chapter and on how you would've thought of it, if it was the actual second chapter. This time I'm going to show the amount of cards both players have in their hands by having an x next to their LP. The x represents the amount of cards each player is holding in their hands, that why we all know how cards they are have in their hands.
Lion Heart Leon: Thanks, I'm trying to make him act like one of my favorite childhood characters (not exactly like him, but unique in Konami's own way.) You are right about him having a lot of good bonding moments with the gang especially Asuka and Judai. Sorry for not replying to you and Anonymous earlier. You'll learn a lot about Konami's past after his duel with a certain Shadow Duelist.
Anonymous: Don't mention it. I'm always open to any advice that might make the series better but there is no guarantee that I might take them to consideration. Anzu and Red Hat do consider each other as siblings because Anzu reminds Konami of someone he truly cares about before he met the cast of the original series and Anzu always loved him like one when he was little. A character that I created and will be added to the series. Out of all, the females who Konami regards as his older sisters, he values Anzu the most.
Guest: Yeah, I really should have made a statement about that, I have absolutely nothing against homosexual people. I'm not trying to hurt or offend anyone by putting in some hurtful remarks into the story. The first one was indeed for laughs but the second one wasn't meant to be offensive. They are one of the most common insults in this day and age. If I highly offended anyone by doing these kind of things then I am deeply sorry. I don't think it justifies putting it in my story but if it upsets the viewers or my fans then I won't do it ever again. Please accept my sincerest apology. I don't want people to think that I'm a bully or inconsiderate individual.
- Chapter 7 -
Slifer Red Power
After the battle between Ryou and Konami was over, Red Hat was sleeping under a tree with a straw of grass in his mouth near a lake shore somewhere around the Academy but two of his Duel Spirit's came out and woke him up."
"Master, will you please wake up?" Eatos asked as she and Earu shook his body
Konami opened one of his eyes in response to her voice but closed it right before he opened his mouth "What is it, Eatos and Key Mace?"
"You do realize that despite how your duel ended, you are still more popular than you were before, right?" Eatos asked with a raised brow "Aren't you a little worried about it?"
"Not anymore." Konami replied almost immediately "I just can't stand it when people go around acting like they are above others."
"But I thought you hated people." Eatos asked curiously
"I do hate people." Konami replied "They are stupid, insecure, intolerable, and the worst of the worst, but I hate individuals who go around acting like the best thing that ever happened since Jesus even more. There are some people who I'm okay with but won't hold my breath."
Earu just looked at Konami with a frown the entire time before looking away and went back in her deck without saying a word
The guardian noticed something was bothering her and decided to go after her.
Unbeknownst to the every duelists, each cards in the construction of their deck creates a world were the Duel Spirits live in and then it is done being built, the deck and the cards they draw will represent the wielder's feelings about everything. No matter what kind of card or how pure it is can hide the duelist's soul. In their world everything wasn't too good nor too bad, it was plain average at but to them it makes sense given Konami's disgust towards anything fancy, especially his thinking and viewpoints on life is filled with realism.
"What wrong?" She asked in a concerned tone
"Well..." Earu trailed off "I didn't want to believe it but... do you remember what Konami-sama said to Jinzo right before he defeated him?"
"You mean "What you see is what you get! Just a guy who loves dueling and adventures!" right?" Eatos asked as she remembered his words
Earu nodded "Yeah, that's it, but I really think he lied about it. I think he might hate dueling." She said sadly which caused Eatos to widened her eyes
"W-Why would you think that?" Eatos asked slightly surprised
Earu had a hard time trying to explain but chose to look at Konami while she telling Eatos "Well... Konami-sama had a very hard childhood and after everything he has been through, I really wouldn't be surprised if he really lied so he wouldn't hurt our feelings. If he hated dueling then that would also mean he hates us as well. I believe the only reason he duels is to surpass Yugi-san and Kazuki-san since they were the first ones who have ever beaten him and to make sure the world isn't destroyed." She said sadly "I know he truly cares about but I can't help the fact Konami-sama might be repressing his real emotions towards dueling and it is a fate that's being forced onto him to protect those he loves. I wonder if he'll actually enjoy partaking in one either..."
Ever since Raferu gave Eatos to Konami for believing he was no longer worthy of her for almost giving into the darkness that surrounded his heart she has often thought of asking about Konami's childhood life and wanted to knew more about Konami but there was something about him that always made people seem like prying on his personal life without him telling others willing gives taboo a whole new meaning. Since Earu has been with Konami longer than any of them, Eatos once asked her about him and all Earu could say was that when he was younger, Konami was very anti-social and unfriendly around people expect to Yugi and the others. Earu even once stated that Konami used to harbor so much distrust towards others that he wouldn't even tell people his real name, she also told Eatos that she didn't want to get into a conversation about his past unless she got his permission. Eatos respected but now she wants to know just how bad his life as a child
"I've been looking for you!" A voice called out from outside of the deck
"Huh?" Eatos and Earu said at the sound of the voice
"Can't a guy sleep in peace around here?" Konami thought to himself aggravated before opening his eyes to look at the individual who happened to be an angry Manjoume walking towards his direction with a stare meant for an enemy
Konami got up, spat the straw out his mouth, and put one of his hands in his pockets while scratching the back of his head "What do you want, Manjoume?" He asked without smiling or being polite
"This is all your fault!" Manjoume shouted angrily
Konami raised a brow at him "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Ever since you and damn Judai Yuki came to this Academy, my reputation in the Obelisk Blue is ruined! Do you have any idea how much humiliation I had to endure, all because of you two maggots?! I even got made fun of by a Slifer!" Manjoume asked louder
Konami rolled his eyes before replying "Oh dear, it's both mine and Judai's fault that you aren't popular anymore." He said as sarcastically as possible without a smile "It must be so difficult and tragic for you to not have any kissass people following you around as if they were sheep's chasing its Sheppard. Boo hoo, you fag."
"You son of a..."
"Look, I'm not going to stand here and listen to your whining, alright?" Konami interrupted without a grin "If you want something from me then just say it but if not I suggest you make like a woman's legs and split."
Manjoume wanted to give him a scathing retorts but Konami was right, he did want something from Konami but he needed to know if it was true. He clutched his hands angrily before asking
"Is it true...?" Manjoume asked bitterly
"Is what true?" Konami asked but didn't care
"Is it true that you managed to tie with the Kaiser?" Manjoume asked specifically
"What happens if I say "yes"?" Konami asked with his arms folded but didn't smile, along with knowing the answer
"Then let's duel!" Manjoume said much too Konami's expectation "If I defeat the person who managed to tie with the Kaiser then I'll make everyone realize just how poorly it was for them to ever misjudge me and my dueling skills."
"You do realize even if he did manage to beat me, some of them might just say that I only tied with Ryou by dumb luck instead of skills and it isn't something to brag about to others because they are too arrogant and proud to admit it, right?" Konami asked curiously without a smirk
"I'll risk it! I'm going to get my rep back! Face me!" Manjoume said impatiently as he activated his Duel Disk
After their first duel, Konami did make an oath to take on any challenger that wanted to oppose him, sometimes he would go against his own principles, if he didn't feel like it but he can tell Manjoume won't leave him alone unless he accept his challenge
"Fine, whatever." Konami said without a grin as he activated his Duel Disk
DUEL!
Manjoume - 8000 LP x5
Konami - 8000 LP x5
Before they could begin their turn Judai, Asuka, Shou, and Daichi came running towards their direction
"Huh? Konami and Manjoume-kun are going to duel again?" Asuka asked curiously
"Awesome! We get to see a rematch!" Judai said with excitement
Manjoume smirked "Hmph! This is great, now we have ourselves some witness our duel firsthand! When I beat you, their words only will prove that I really did crush you and how much I deserve my reputation. And I also..." Manjoume trailed off but looked at Asuka "I can get even you for humiliating me in front of Tenjoiun-kun."
"I assume you want to go first to make-up for that whole "I'm going to cut you a break" thing, you gave me when I got here?" Konami asked but knew the answer
"Of course! You only won because of that freebee I gave you, but now I'll have the advantage!"
Asuka sighed with her eyes closed at Manjoume being such a sore loser
Konami shared her thoughts as he shook his head "Excuses. Excuses. Excuses." He said with disappointment but no grin, which caused Manjoume to grimace
"Shut up! I'll give you a taste of my hellish malice towards you, Red Hat! My turn, draw!"
TURN 1 - MANJOUME x6
"I summon Chthonian Soldier in Attack mode!"
The fiendish warrior from hell materialized onto the field as it let its battle cry
Chthonian Soldier -LV4- (1200/1400)
"That card..." Judai and Shou thought to themselves and remembered its deadly effect
"I set 1 card face-down and end my turn."
Konami raised a brow "You're not using your XYZ deck this time?" He asked but didn't smile
Manjoume smirked "I made a special deck, just for you, I hope your ready to lose this time!"
"I don't know why Manjoume would put that monster in Attack position but let's see how Konami will respond to this tactic." Daichi commented curiously
Konami just simply stared at the field before continuing his turn
"My turn, draw!"
TURN 2 - KONAMI x6
"I play the Spell card; Ancient Rules!" Konami said as he reveal the card before playing it
"Ancient Rules?" Shou asked curiously "What does that do?"
"It allows me to Special Summon a Level 7 or higher Normal monster from my hand to the field." Konami explained "And I choose my Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
"Red Eyes..." Asuka said but trailed off
"Black Dragon?" Judai finished in shock
"Through the darkest of days and the blackest of nights, the black dragon with crimson eyes will fly out from the underworld as it lets out a vicious cry from the world above. Show yourself, the shadow of Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Konami said as he slammed the card on his Duel Disk
The black dragon appeared to the field the same way it did before as let out a roar
Red-Eyes Black Dragon -LV7- (2400/2000)
"So the rumors are true, he does have Red-Eyes Black Dragon..." Daichi stated with widen eyes "Red Hat Konami is full of surprises."
"Now, Red Eyes, attack his Chthonian Solider with Inferno Fire Blast!" Konami said simply as his dragon prepared to fire its purple fire ball out of his mouth at his target and destroy the warrior
Manjoume grunted and blocked himself for the small explosion as smoke was coming towards him and his LP dropped
Manjoume - 6800 LP x4
Konami - 8000 LP x4
Manjoume smiled and then clapped at Konami's effort "Not bad, Red Hat but you fell right into my trap because my Chthonian Solider has a special ability! When this card is destroyed in battle, my opponent takes the same amount of damage as me. Now, you'll pay for your foolishness by losing 1200 LP." He said as Chthonian Soldier's sword hurled in the air and went straight towards Konami.
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell card; Spell of Pain!" Konami said as he slammed the card on his Duel Disk and the blade went back to Manjoume who widened his eyes at the scene
"W-What the-?! Gaahh!" Manjoume groaned as the blade cut right through him and fell to his knees
Manjoume - 5600 LP x4
Konami - 8000 LP x3
"Wh-What just happened?" Shou said with wide eyes
"That's what I'd like to know as well!" Manjoume said angrily trying to regain his composer from the effect "What did you do, Red Hat?"
"My Spell of Pain can only be used when an effect damage is activated and when that happens, my opponent takes the damage I would have taken."
"So that's why he attacked his monster... very smart." Daichi commented
"I wasn't expecting Konami-kun to think that far ahead." Asuka said a little impressed "Perhaps, he really did manage to tie with Ryou."
Judai smiled and lightly elbowed Daichi "Yeah, I guess he really is smarter than you, Misawa."
"I have no comment." Daichi replied
"My turn, draw!"
TURN 3 - MANJOUME x5
"I activate the Trap card; Call of the Haunted! When this card is activated, I can Special Summon 1 card from my Graveyard back to the field in Attack Position! Be revived, Chthonian Soldier!"
The treacherous warrior came back to the field making low growl of anger
"Next I'll activate my Quick-Play Spell card; Inferno Reckless Summon! This card can only both players have a monster on their side. We are both allowed to Special Summon monsters with the same name as the one on the field from our deck, hand, and Graveyard in Attack position!" Manjoume explained as two purple lighting came down to the field and manifest into two more Chthonian Soldiers
"Then I'll call out my 2 Red-Eyes Black Dragons." Konami said calmly which caused them to widen their eyes in complete shock
Two more Red-Eyes came to the field
"He has 3 Red-Eyes Black Dragons?!" Daichi said in shock "What is he the shadow of Seto Kaiba?"
"I know, how crazy is that?!" Shou commented "I bet Manjoume must be regretting brought out more than 1 Red-Eyes Black Dragon to deal with now."
Asuka nodded "No matter how many Chthonian Soldier's he has on the field, they have 1200 ATK points. It doesn't even come close to Red-Eyes'."
"Maybe he has a plan for something like this." Daichi commented
"Precisely, Misawa! When I'm through with him my position in Obelisk Blue will be restored!" Manjoume revealed "I activate the Spell card; Lighting Vortex! By discarding 1 card from my hand, I can destroy all face-up monster on your side of the field!"
"Again?!" Konami thought to himself
"Uh-oh!" Judai said in shock
"If Konami's monsters are destroyed then he'll be wide open!" Shou said with a frown
Manjoume laughed as a black cloud came to the field as lighting fell down from the sky and destroyed all 3 Red-Eyes Black Dragons at the same time and turned into broke shards
"Next I activate the Equip Spell card; Chthonian Alliance! A monster equipped to this card gains 800 ATK points for every monster on the field with the same name as its own." Manjoume explained which caused everyone except Konami to widen their eyes in shock "I choose my Chthonian Soldier in the middle to increase his strength."
A demonic aura rouse underneath Chthonian Soldier as it felt power following through him as he roared while his body grew
Chthonian Soldier -LV4- (3600/1400)
"3600?!" Daichi asked surprised
"Oh man, this gonna hurt!" Judai commented
"Now my soldiers, attack him directly!" Manjoume shouted as all of his monsters came towards Konami, two of them slashed his body with their swords and the last one made an explosion so strong that Konami went falling away and grunted while rolling around on the ground from the assault but astoundingly his hat didn't fall off from it
Manjoume - 5600 LP x2
Konami - 2000 LP x3
Manjoume was laughing hard at how quickly he got Konami's Life Points to drop "What's the matter, Red Hat?! I thought you were better than this or maybe I've become too strong for you? Haaahaaha!"
"Konami!" Judai said out of concern
"T-This isn't good! It's the third turn and his LP is already at 2000 points..." Shou said worriedly
"Too think Manjoume-kun would be able to inflict 6000 point damage in just 1 turn... he really has improved since their last battle." Asuka commented
"Tenjouin-kun is impressed by dueling style..!" Manjoume thought to himself happily as he blushed but got rid of it too make sure he doesn't make the same mistake twice
"Are you alright, Konami?" Daichi asked
"Yeah.." Konami said but didn't smile as he was about to get up on his feet "Are you done?"
"Hmph! Yeah, I end my turn." Manjoume stated proudly
"Tsk! My turn, draw!"
TURN 4 - KONAMI x4
"I activate the Spell card; Pot of Greed! I draw 2 cards!" Konami said as he drew his cards
"I summon Flame Ruler in Attack mode!"
The pyro with a bronze medal around his neck scowl as flames spun around him
Flame Ruler -LV4- (1500/1600)
"Next, I activate the Spell card; Double Summon! When I activate this turn, I can summon an additional monster this turn but this effect only works on the turn I played it."
Manjoume raised a brow curiously "You are aware, no matter how many monsters you summon it won't be enough to beat my soldiers."
"We'll see about that. Now, I activate my Flame Ruler's effect! If I want to Tribute Summon a high level Fire Attribute monster to the field he counts as two monsters." Konami explained
Manjoume widened his eyes in realization at Konami's words "So that's why you played that card but I highly doubt there is a Fire monster that has more ATK than my 3600 ATK point Chthonian Soldier!" Manjoume said confidently
The warrior from Hell roar an agreement at Manjoume's words
"You're right but this monster will be more than enough to take down your another soldiers." Konami said as his monster was engulf by his own flames and went it the sky as Konami's hand did the same as he begun his chant
"As the crushing fire of my soul continues to oppose, I cannot lose! The fallen beast of tyrants, shall rise again, and destroy anyone who tries to resist as you become the Oppressor of Dragons! Tribute Summon! Crush my enemy, Tyrant Dragon!"
A orange light came down behind Konami as it let out a shockwave and begun manifesting itself into a physical form as the powerful dragon sets its eyes on Manjoume while letting out a horrifying roar
Tyrant Dragon -LV8- (2900/2500)
"Now, Tyrant Dragon, attack his weaker Chthonian Soldier with Crushing Tidal Flare!" Konami said as Tyrant Dragon flew up in the air and fired its flames at the demonic soldier as Manjoume covered himself from its blast
"Gaaah! Remember Red Hat, when he is destroyed in battle, you will also take damage as well!"
Manjoume - 3900 LP x2
Konami - 300 LP x2
"Next, I activate Tyrant Dragon's special effect! If my opponent has another monster on their side of the field after I destroy another monster they control he can attack again."
Daichi widen his eyes "Are you insane?! If you attack his other Chthonian Soldier, you'll lose the duel! Are you trying to commit suicide?!"
Manjoume laughed hardly at what he believed to be Konami's foolishness "Nothing's sweeter than victory, when your opponent is making your job defeating them much easier! Go ahead and commit suicide!"
"It's not suicide if I don't use this Quick-Play Spell card; Shrink! Whenever this card is activated, I can cut any monster's ATK in half until the End Phase and I choose my Tyrant Dragon!" Konami explained without a grin as his dragon shrunk and became half the creature it was moments ago
Tyrant Dragon -LV8- (1450/2500)
"That means he still inflict damage without losing this duel!" Shou stated
The dragon destroyed the soldier with its flaming blast as both players dropped
Manjoume - 3750 LP x2
Konami - 50 LP x1
"Oh man! Now Konami is down to 50 LP but I don't understand why he did something like that." Shou wondered
"Because he needed to." Judai said in a assuring manner which caused Sho to look at him curiously
"What do you mean by that, Aniki?"
Asuka smiled "Judai is right, Shou-kun. Chthonian Alliance increased the equipped monster's ATK by 800 for each monster that has same name and since Konami-kun destroyed two of them, Manjoume-kun's monsters ATK drops by 1600 points." Asuka explained as the warrior shrunk from losing its alleys
"I see but that still doesn't Konami-kun much because Manjoume could just attack his monster on purpose." Shou commented
Judai smiled "Don't worry about that, Sho. Konami will turn this whole thing around."
Daichi, Shou, and Asuka turned to look at him curiously "How do you know?" Daichi asked
Judai lightly laughed "Trust me, he'll definitely win this duel!"
"I set 1 card face-down card and end my turn." Konami said calmly and coolly
"Hmph! It's time for me to end this duel! My turn, draw!"
TURN 5 - MANJOUME X3
"I'll sacrifice my Chthonian Soldier and my entire hand so I can call out one of my strongest monsters!" Manjoume explained as his soldier was engulf the hellish flames and turned into a big ball of fire that was waiting to burst
"The lone fiend from the depths of the underworld will erupt and thrive on its enemy's struggle! They shall be burned by the flames of malice and be gone from this world! Come forth and give them a taste of the flames within Hell itself! Infernal Incinerator!" Manjoume as he slammed the card on his Duel Disk and begun laughing darkly at its arrival
"What?!" Judai asked in shock
"Infernal Incinerator?!" Daichi asked in surprise
An explosion came from the field as the fiend let out a devoid noise as it seemed ready to attack
Infernal Incinerator -LV6- (2800/1800)
Manjoume kept laughing before speaking to Konami "What will you do now, Konami? My Infernal Incinerator can gains 200 ATK for every monster on your side of the field and since you only have your Tyrant Dragon, his ATK point are 3000!" Manjoume explained arrogantly
The fiend roar in excitement and anticipation at the enemy before it as red aura was emitting from its body
Infernal Incinerator -LV6- (3000/1800)
"If Konami doesn't do something soon, he'll lose the duel." Daichi said worriedly
"Like said you guys, don't worry." Judai said positively
"Infernal Incinerator put an end to Red Hat and his Tyrant Dragon with Burning Hellfire Blast!"
The fiend opened its mouth as he fired his hellish flames at Konami's dragon but as everyone except Judai watched in horror and Manjoume smirking triumphantly but Konami still kept his cool as he revealed his face down card
"I activate the my face down card called Magic Cylinder!" Konami explained without a grin "When activated I can negate your attack and send it right back at you!"
"What?!" Manjoume asked in shock
The flames went into 1 cylinder and then came out the other as Manjoume braced himself from the blast. The flames engulf Manjoume as he fought it off and regained his composure
Manjoume - 750 LP x0
Konami - 50 LP x0
"So you managed to survive this round!" Manjoume grimaced before smiling "When your turn is over, your all mine!"
"Sorry but their won't be a next turn for you." Konami said plainly but didn't grin
"Excuse you?" Manjoume asked with a raised brow
"It's time for me to end this! My turn, draw!" Konami said without a smile
TURN 6 - KONAMI X1
"I activate the Spell card; Fissure! When this card is activated, I can destroy 1 face-up monster on your side of the field has the lowest ATK but if you have both then it's my call!" Konami explained as he revealed the card without a grin
"Wh-What?!" Manjoume said with widen eyes as his fiend groaned as it was turned into broken shards as covered himself from the small explosion
"No way! I can't lose again!" Manjoume said in disbelief
"Better luck next time, Manjoume." Konami said without a grin "Battle Phase! Tyrant Dragon, attack his monster and end this duel now!"
The dragon was more than happy to acuminate his owner's words as he let out a proud roar, flapped its wings, and then charging at the defenseless duelist.
"May this dragon's fierceness make you recoil in his might and know the true meaning of oppression! Oppressive Flame Blast! Dominate!" Konami roared as Tyrant Dragon opened his mouth fired its flamethrower at the student as the explosion made everyone except Konami covered themselves from the aftermath while Manjoume went flying away and rolled around six times while his LP dropped down to zero.
Manjoume - 0 LP x0
Konami - 50 LP x0
"Amazing!" Shou said in shock
"I told you Konami would pull through." Judai said with huge grin
"Why? Why? Can't I win?" Manjoume said angrily as he got up and left while groaning
"That was a nice comeback there Konami." Daichi said as he and the others walked towards him
"I'll say, I thought Manjoume had you there for a moment." Asuka commented
"As long as you believe in your deck, anything is possible." Konami said with a smile
Asuka tried not to blush at the sight of his smiling face
"But I can't believe you tied with Onii-san, Konami." Shou said in shock which caused Judai and Daichi to look at him in shock
"Huh?! You mean this "Kaiser" Ryou is your real older sibling? How come you didn't tell us?" Judai asked
"I-I didn't think it would be a big deal..." Shou said in a low voice while looking away from them
Judai then turned to look at Konami curiously "By the way, Konami. I thought you didn't want to become popular."
Konami sweatdropped before replying to him "I don't. The only reason I challenged him to a duel in front of the Obelisk Blue dorm is because I hated the way those blue douchebags act around their lesser, so I decide to put a blow on their pride by trying to beat their best man in front of them."
Judai smiled happily at his friend "Wow Konami. Even though, you give off a demeanor that you act cold and sly on the outside your just a big softie underneath."
Konami narrowed his eyes "I am not a softie."
Judai snickered "Whatever you say, Konami!"
"Well, at any rate we should get to class now." Asuka said as she looked at the time on her PDA
"You guys, can go to class." Konami replied without a smile as he went back to his tree "I'll be staying here catching some Z's."
Asuka walked to Konami, grabbed him by the ear and pulled him to make sure he goes to their classroom
Konami grunted "A-Ahh! Hey, take it easy, Asuka."
Judai laughed at the scene while pointing at them
"What are you laughing about, Judai?" Konami asked without a grin "Last time I checked, your grades aren't much too speak of."
"They're not..." Shou and Daichi said in unison
Judai frowned "Well, I can't afford to be late or absent again because if I do then I'll have to hear my teacher's complaints."
Daichi smiled "Well, let's get going then!" He said happily
Night time
Konami rested on his bed "Finally..." He said to himself quietly before closing his eyes "Some peace and quiet..."
Suddenly someone was knocking on his door
"Dammit! What is it now?!" He said as he got up from his bed to see who it was "What do you wa-" He trailed off because he didn't see anyone
When he looked down Konami saw both Judai and Shou down on their hands and knees as if they were begging him for help
"What are you two doing?" Konami asked completely bewildered
They both raised their heads to look at him and spoke in unison "Konami! Please help us!"
"Huh?" Was the only thing he could say to them before Judai grabbed him by the top of his shirt and Sho grabbed the mid-half with tears in their eyes
"The questions are too hard!" Judai said with teary eyes
"The equation is too complex to figure out!" Shou said with tears as well
"Please help us with our homework!" They said in unison
Konami sweatdropped "Why don't you go ask Daichi?" He asked curiously "He seems more than smart enough to help you with your assignment."
"Misawa is smart but not smart enough to finish the Written Test in just 2 minutes." Judai replied
"Yeah, you are always awake in class, so this is a pie of cake for you!" Shou commented
"Not really." Konami replied without a grin
"Huh?" Was all Judai and Shou could say
"I can sleep with my eyes open." Konami replied without a smile which shocked his fellow Slifers
"No freakin way! Are you serious?! Judai asked with eyes filled with hope
"Of course!" Konami replied without smiling
"How come you never said that to those who accused you for cheating?" Shou asked
"And what?" Konami asked scratching the back of his head "Get them to think I'm a bigger freak than I was before? No thank you."
"So awesome! Konami, you have to teach me how to do that!"
Shou deadpanned "I don't think that's something you can learn, Aniki. Besides, this isn't a make-believe story, it's real-life."
Konami raised a brow "I thought you came here for me to help you do your homework..."
Judai narrowed his eyes in a serious manner "Forget about that, this is actual more important than studying."
Shou just stood there in disbelief at what he was hearing. First, his best friend, who he thinks of as an older brother believes sleeping in class is more important than passing grades, his second friend looks like a koala, and his third friend can sleep with his eyes open and see spirits of monsters from Duel Monsters. Can't he make a normal friend in this dorm?!
Speaking of his koala friend, Hayato seemed to have overheard their conversation as he walked them from the stairs and to their direction
"Wait, Konami is helping you with your homework?" Hayato asked with wide eyes
"Yeah!" Judai commented which caused Konami to fear the worst
"H-Hold on! I never-"
Hayato smiled "Really?! That's awesome! Say Konami, could you help me out too?"
"Hayato, will you-"
"Konami is helping you guys out?! An Osiris Red asked in shock as he opened his door "Hey Konami, please help me out with these mathematics."
"No, help me, first, Konami." A Slifer said as he walked up the stairs
"Konami-kun!"
"Red Hat-san!"
As the whole dorm was making a commotion about asking for Konami's help. The screen went up to the sky, a thought bubble appeared with sad Konami with tears of his own before shouting
"WHY ME?!" He said sadly
TO BE CONTINIUED...
