September soon passed, and in it's place came October. Students walked about the school grounds until they reached their destinations. Others simply ambled about.
Some went swimming.
Southeast of the Obelisk Dorms was Bala Bala Lake. It was a clear lake that was good for both fishing and swimming, with an area set aside solely for swimming, namely the northwest side of the lake. The other two noted swimming spots was the hard to get at south east side of the lake, where a couple of students could get into things not typically allowed on school grounds and north of the island's inactive volcano, where a series of hot springs were open to anyone who wished to use them.
Being it was a lazy, yet still warm, Saturday afternoon J.B. had decided to go to the swimming zone and enjoy a day out on the lake. He had invited Gonda and Serenity as well to join him. They in turn told Brock of their plans, who in turn told the Clairheart siblings, who was overheard by Maria Lu Sept, who simply declared it to be a good day to swim to damn near everyone.
Soon one student's desire to swim became the desire of many as over forty of the islands students traveled to the lake. J.B. in his simple white trunks with red trimmings planted a large umbrella into a part of the lake's beach before rolling out a towel. Gonda in a multicoloured pair of trunks and a Hawaiian shirt set the basket of food down as he openly gawked at all the bikini wearers on the beach. Serenity, wearing a conservative yet attractive one-piece pink suit applied waterproof lotion to her exposed skin before passing the bottle to J.B.
Brock sat a ways off down the beach on a beach chair, pencil and sketchbook in hand as he drew the lake, his own grey trunks covering him. The Clairheart siblings, Allie in a one-piece green and black suit and Alyssa in a two-piece white French bikini strolled down the beach, Allie sending a glare at a gawking clown as they went by.
Maria Lu Sept wore her French cut two-piece coloured red, white and blue in a manner similar to the French flag. Rosetta had opted to leave the 'rabble' to it's own devices, but her red-haired companion, Tanya, was present, showing up in a blue two-piece.
"OK, we've got lotions put on, towels laid out, a basket full of food and a lake full of water!" J.B. said as he stood up. "We are so set! Ready to swim?"
"Yeah!" Serenity replied, standing up as well.
"I think I'll enjoy the view." Gonda said as his friends rolled their eyes, a pair of blonde beauties walking by on the beach.
"Yeah... You do that..." J.B. said as he and Serenity walked towards the water. J.B. grinned slightly before rushing forwards. "Race ya!" He called out.
"Cheater!" Serenity called back as the two ran into the water, wading out to waist deep water. As soon as she had caught up to J.B. she dipped her hands into the water, using them to splash water at her friend.
"Hey!" He shouted back, dipping his arms down to return fire, or water in this case, splashing water at her as well.

Meanwhile, back at the shore Gonda merely shook his head at his friends antics, letting his eyes wander over to whichever girl was giving a good view. "Just can't keep your eyes to yourself, can you?" He heard a voice beside him say, making him turn his head to look up at Allie.
"Oh... Uh, hey there! Just enjoying the view!" He replied, chuckling slightly. "You're looking good yourself!"
Allie just sighed and shook her head, sitting down next to the clown. "Whatever." She muttered.
Gonda just shook his head before looking down the beach, his eyes opening wide. "Oh wow... Does that even qualify as a bathing suit?" He asked idly as Allie slugged his shoulder before looking herself. Then she too openly gawked.
Despite any claims to the contrary Allie liked guys. She did not 'swing for the other team' as it were, it's just she never found any real desirable guys. That said she had to admire the girl walking down the beach.
Her body was a tanned bronze and shone with some form of lotion with a perfect hourglass figure, and enough 'talent' to rival her sister. The girl also seemed to have no or little modesty as she wore a tiny bikini top with a matching thong bottom causing the stares of every male, and more than a few females, to be directed at her. The only other notable thing was the duel disk strapped to her arm. She had to shake her head a couple times to stop staring.
"Owwie..." Gonda whined as he sat up. "That wasn't nice!" He shouted out as J.B. and Serenity walked out of the water, J.B. looking at the tanned girl for a moment as Serenity merely blushed at the thought of wearing such a tiny outfit.
"Who in the hell is that?" J.B. asked as the two joined Allie and Gonda. "And is she allowed to wear that?"
"Well, she's not naked... Sorta." Gonda said as he rubbed his head. "It doesn't count as naked I don't think..."
"Shut up pervert." Allie growled out.
"Yes Ma'am!" Gonda replied, waving his hands.
"Really..." Allie growled out as she shook her head.
"Excuse me..." A new voice said as everyone present turned his or her head. Standing in front of them was the tanned girl, one arm behind her back as she thoughtfully tapped her chin. "I'm sorry, I was wondering... You is that boy with Blue Eyes, yes?"
"Ummm... Yes, I am..." J.B. replied.
"Oh is so nice to be meeting you!" The girl said, clapping her hands excitingly. "You sound like a tough to win duellist!"
"Tough to win... Don't you mean 'tough to beat'?" Gonda asked.
"Hmm... Oh, yes I do!" The girl said, giggling slightly. "Is sorry, my speaking not so good! Oh, yes, my name is Kemah! I am from Hawaii!"
"Well, I'm J.B. And this is Gonda, Serenity and Allie."
"Hey there!" Gonda.
"Nice to meet you." Serenity.
"Hi." Allie.
"Hello! Is so nice meeting you all!" Kemah said excitingly.
"How can you wear that?" Allie blurted out, looking over the girl's suit.
"This? Is not big deal." Kemah replied. "Back in home where I come from there is a beach I go to, no need to wear anything at all."
"A nudist beach...?" Gonda said, his head lifting up as his imagination engaged. Allie frowned slightly before slapping the clown.
"I couldn't wear that." Serenity said as she shook her head. "It'd be too embarrassing..."
"Yeah, I know." Allie added.
"Why be embarrassed?" Kemah asked. "You is all nice looking girls, why not be proud?"
"Proud is one thing, but that is way to much... or little..." Allie said pointing at Kemah's outfit.
"I like it..." Kemah said as she smiled. "Maybe we make bet? I want to duel him anyway." Kemah said, pointing to J.B. "I win I buy you too nice suits like mine!"
"Uhh... I'm always up for a good duel..." J.B. began. "But I can't make bets for other people!"
"Oh... Well... No say they have to wear them to beach, I just buy them."

"This is the oddest duel I've been in yet..." J.B. said as he adjusted his disk as Kemah stood across from him, Allie, Gonda and Serenity sitting to the side as other students gathered to watch the duel. The two girls had agreed to the conditions, being reassured that they didn't have to wear them to the beach if they didn't want to. That being the case the two duellists readied their disks.
"Let's duel!" They cried out in unison, drawing five cards each.
Kemah: 4000
J.B.: 4000
"OK, I'll start it off!" J.B. called out as he drew. 'Oh yeah... Great hand J.B... Work with what you've got though...' "I summon Troop Dragon, in defense mode!" He called out, the humanoid dragon rising up to the field, kneeling on the soft sand. (2/700/800)
"I move now!" Kemah shouted out as she drew her own card. "I play the field spell A Legendary Ocean!" She called out, water rising up from the lake, covering their legs up to their knees, the crowd backing away as the humanoid dragon stood up, shield still bared to defend it's master. "This card boost all water by two hundred! And reduce those same water stars by one! Is good, yes?"
"Water... Water monsters?" J.B. asked.
"Yes, is what I said!"
"She's cute as hell..." Gonda said. "But she really needs a dictionary. Or at least a thesaurus."
"Now I summon Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness, in attacking mode!" Kemah called out, as a giant killer whale with a platform on it's back rose to the field, off to one side in a deeper part of the lake. (5/2100/1200-4/2300/1400) "Now attack! Orca Cannon!" She shouted out as a cannon deployed from the back of the whale. A loud bang sounded as the cannon fired, a shell being launched into the dragon, blowing it apart.
"I might lose one dragon, but thanks to it's effect I can summon a second in it's place!" J.B. called out as a second Troop Dragon rose to his field. (2/700/800) "Now it's my move!" J.B. called out as he drew a card. "I'll place a card face down, then I summon Masked Dragon in defense mode!" He added, his mask wearing dragon rising to the field. (3/1400/1100) 'Now I can summon my Blue Eyes next turn, both of the monsters I have out will replace themselves, and Draining Shield will negate one of her attacks. Just need to wait...'
"My draw!" Kemah called out as she drew a card. "And I summon Cannonball Spear Shellfish, in attacking mode!" She called out as a monster with a pointed shell rose to the field. (2/1000/1000-1/1200-1200) "And now I use Orca ability, to sacrifice my Shellfish! This is to destroy a spell or trap!"
"You mean it allows you to destroy a spell or trap." J.B. corrected.
"Yes, is what I said!" Kemah said, nodding as the Orca picked the shellfish up with it's crane, loading it into it's cannon before firing it off, flying through the air and into J.B.'s trap card, shattering it. "Now I play St-oop De-fen-se!" She added in a sing-song voice, Troop Dragon lowing it's shield and raising it's sword. "This make Troop Dragon not be defending! Now attack! Orca Cannon!" She called out as the whale fired, it's shell launching into the small humanoid dragon, shattering it.
Kemah: 4000
J.B.: 2400
"Ouch..." J.B. said. "Harsh. Good thing my third Troop Dragon pops up though!" He added, another dragon rising up from his deck. (2/700/800) "Now, I draw!" J.B. called out. "And I sacrifice Troop Dragon and Masked Dragon to summon my Blue Eyes White Dragon!" He called out, the water in front of him exploding as the great dragon rose up, flapping it's powerful wings to stay aloft over the waves of the lake. (8/3000/2500) "Now attack! With White Lightning!" J.B. called out as the great Dragon Gathered it's energies, sending a blast of power at the opposing fortress carrying whale, annihilating it.
Kemah: 3300
J.B.: 2400
"Nice one JB.!" Gonda called out.
"He's doing good now, but remember..." Allie began. "Kemah can get a water monster out much easier than he can get his dragons out at the moment. He has to keep Blue Eyes out, or he might end up being swarmed."
"I'll place one treat face down, and pass it off to you." J.B. said, finishing up his turn.
"Is my move then!" Kemah called out as she drew. 'Oh no! Is wrong card...' She thought to herself. 'Be good if I got Orca back, but for now...' "I summon Torpedo Fish in defending mode!" She called out, a small fish creature rising to her field. (3/1000/1000-2/1200/1200) "Is all I can do..."
"My move then!" J.B. said as he drew. "And I activate my face down card! Dragon's Rage! Now all my dragon monster can do damage when they attack defense monsters, equal to the difference between my attack and your defense! Now attack! With White Lightning!" "J.B. called out as his massive dragon drew it's power into it's mouth, firing a massive blast that decimated the defending fish.
Kemah: 1500
J.B.: 2400
"Next I set a monster in defense mode and end my turn!"
"That no so good!" Kemah said as she drew her own card. "Now I be playing Cost it Down!"
"Cost it... Cost Down?" J.B. asked.
"Yes! Is card, Cost it Down!" She repeated. "I discard one card, and now my monster stars go down by two! Now I may summon Levia-Dragon – Daedalus! In attacking mode!" She added as massive serpent rose from the lake, it's scowling face glaring at the hovering dragon. (7/2600/1500-4/2800/1700) "And now I sacrifice it!"
"All that work, just to tribute it?" J.B. asked as the serpent sank under the waves.
"Oh yes! Because now I can be special summon the Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo Daedalus! Attacking mode!" Kemah called out as a serpent, more massive than the last rose from the waters, twins heads glaring at the dragon as it's claws swung at the air, roaring as it hit the field. (8/2900/1600-7/3100-1800)
"That thing is huge!" Serenity shouted out. "How is he going to beat that thing?"
"Talk about a big fish in a small pond..." Gonda added.
"Now I be using special ability!" Kemah added as her field card shattered apart. "By offering Umi, or a card like Legendary Ocean that is treated like Umi, I may destroy all cards on field and held in hand, except Ocean Lord!" She called out as the water receded, J.B. discarding his hand as his dragon shattered apart as the serpent roared, even as it lost attack power while swimming in the shallow water. (7/3100/1800-8/2900-1600) "I have you beat good now!"
"Thong, here I come..." Allie said pitifully.
"I'm not done yet!" J.B. called out as his face down monster shattered apart. "You see my face down card was a little guy named Winged Kuriboh, and on the turn he's destroyed I take zero damage!"
"Oh, is phooey!" Kemah said, pouting cutely as she snapped her fingers, her monster roaring in frustration.
"He dodged a bullet again!" Gonda said as he shook his head. "I gotta admit, that seems to be some kinda trademark, stopping an opponent's winning move. Richard's Shinato, Allie's Archer, now this! It's kinda amazing!" He scratched at his head for a moment. "Although I have to admit, it wouldn't be a bad thing if he lost, since you two would get an outfit like that." He blurted out before the two girls slammed their fists into the back of his head. "Ow-chi-wa-waas..."
"My turn now!" J.B. called out as he drew. "And now I play the spell card Pot of Greed! This lets me draw two cards from my deck!" He called out, drawing his pair of cards. "And now I summon Kaibaman in attack mode!" He called out, his masked warrior monster leaping onto the field.
"Hoo-rah!" It shouted out, pointing to the sky. (3/200/700)
"No understand." Kemah said. "Is too-too weak. Get crushed easy, yes?"
"Yeah... If he stuck around that is. I'm tributing him for this!" J.B. said, flashing a card. "Enemy Controller!"
"Heh?" Kemah said as her opponent's monster dissolved.
"Now this card has two effects. I can force your card to switch battle modes, or I can offer one of my monsters to take one of yours! And that's exactly what I'm doing!" He called out as the Serpent swam across to J.B.'s side of the field. "Now attack Neo Daedalus, with Ocean Deep Blast!" He called out, the massive serpent rearing their heads back before sending twins blasts of water at the Hawaiian girl, knocking her off her feet. "And that's game!"
Kemah: 0
J.B.: 2400
"Oiy, yoi..." Kemah said as she stood up again. "Is bad, not get cards I need. But I have much fun anyway!"
"I think you mean 'I had a lot of fun anyway', and so did I!" J.B. said as he walked over to the girl, Serenity, Gonda and Allie joining them. "It's too bad that it was such a short match, I kinda wanted a longer one!"
"I did too." Kemah said as well. "Is much fun, even if short though! Now shall we go?" She asked being met with a round of 'huhs'. "To get swimming suits like mine!"
"But you said--" Allie began as Kemah cut her off, grabbing the wrists of the other two girls.
"I buy them anyway! Duelling make me very happy! So I buy to celebrate too good duel!" She said as she pulled the two girls along.
"Guess some people just don't take no for an answer..." J.B. said as Gonda nodded.
"You two come too!" Kemah called out. "See too-too cute girls!"
"Did she mean see two girls that are too cute, or..." Gonda started.
"I have no idea..." J.B. replied.

Despite every polite excuse they came up with Serenity and Allie still could not deny Kemah buying them swimsuits, remarkably skimpy or not.
Duel Academy had a shop in the main building where you could not only buy cards but also paper, pencils, books as well as odds and ends. In terms of clothing it held very little since the students could only wear their uniforms aside from the weekends although most students, mostly the highly ranked Obelisk Blues, wore their uniforms anyway on weekends to display their rank. You could still buy some basic pants and underwear, shirts, socks and bras. In the winter they offered heavier coats, although the region the Academy was in was warm even in winter, only getting a few days snow at best. They did offer a decent selection of bathing suits however, not to the extent a shop off island might have, but a decent one for those who wanted to swim in the lake or pool.
So Gonda and J.B. sat outside the dressing rooms as Kemah quickly grabbed two suits with little cloth and brought them into the dressing room with the two girls. A few sounds came from inside the room as J.B. and Gonda waited. Soon enough Kemah exited the room, smiling warmly as she led the other two girls out. "Is ready! What do you think?" She asked excitedly, as Serenity and Allie looked anywhere but at the two boys. As promised Kemah had bought them both very revealing outfits.
Serenity was clad in a high on the hips thong bottom; proven beyond a doubt to be a thong as Kemah made her turn around once. The top half was enough to cover just under half of her breasts, covering everything that had to be legally covered in public company. The suit was coloured white on the left side and pink on the right.
Allie wore a thong bottom as well, proven as Kemah made her turn around as well, although hers were lower on the hips. Her top covered more, but pushed her breasts together to create a lot of cleavage, her outfit colour being tie-dyed greens. The reactions of both boys were simple.
Their jaws fell open.
"Holy hell..." Gonda said. "I knew Allie was hot but... Whoa..."
"Uhh... How does it feel... Serenity?" J.B. asked.
"It digs into my butt a bit..." She replied. "And it is kinda embarrassing... Do I look OK?"
"To be honest Sunshine... You look… Sexy..." J.B. replied.
"Sexy?" Serenity asked, blushing a deeper shade of crimson. She had been called adorable, cute and attractive, but no one had called her sexy before.
"Uhh... Yeah."
"We shall not speak of this... Right clown?" Allie said, hands on her hips, a blush still on her own face.
"Uhhh... Sure... You are going to keep it... Right?" Gonda replied.
"...Pervert..."
"You two look so good!" Kemah said as she left the shop. "Bye-Bye now! I go to swimming, yes!"
"So Serenity..." J.B. began. "Wanna call it a day, or...?"
"Actually... Do you think there might be a part of the beach where no one is around?" She asked shyly, rubbing a foot into the ground. "I don't want everyone to see but... I still want to try it out..."
"I'm sure there is..." J.B. began. "You going alone?"
"Well... I was hoping..." She began, rubbing her foot into the ground. "That you'd come with me..." She said, turning her face away again.
"Hey, I don't mind!" J.B. said as he rubbed the back of his head. "I just wanted to check ya know, since I figured..."
"Come on clown, we're going!" Allie said as she put on a robe, taking the clown by his shirt as she dragged him away.
"Hey! Where are we going to?" Gonda asked.
"Someplace." Came the reply.
