Author's note: You know, usually a non-duel chapter like this should be short…but this one is so thrived with character interactions that I didn't expect it would be this long again. I seriously need to shorten the events planned out in my head. And of course, you noticed again that there's no another excerpt from Yugioh episode. That will be placed in the next half. Also, I introduced a familiar character that really deserved more screen time! However…I gotta figure out to improvise his guy's deck…Anyhow, I hope you guys enjoy reading it and leave a review. It's a huge boost to any writer's fire.

Another day started anew at the South Duel Academy at the sole old natural island. It would be any other regular day where students attended boring classes, participated in fun practice duels, and buy new cards and chatted about cards. But it wasn't because this day was the start of the new semester. It was the day that results of the exams few days ago came out and determined which dorm they should be in and who should be kicked out.

Two Osiris Red students, one male with red spiked hair and one female with maroon hair decorated with hair clips, were walking down the dirt road and looking at their test results at the same time. They both sighed at the same time with great disappointment and yet relief at the same time.

The female, Izumi, glanced at the piece of paper that she liked to call trash, "Ever since the tag duel, I get to have a second chance to take the tests which I'm grateful to the teachs. But," She groaned, "With this score, we would never get to Ra Yellow." She shed fake tears.

The spiked hair male also shed fake tears, "Not even Obelisk Blue too." He pointed to his score which was lower than Izumi, "Terrible luck had plagued me ever since."

Izumi rolled her eyes as she had no faith, "I don't think we'll ever get to Obelisk Blue at our last year here." Since the Duel Academy students only stayed for three years.

Tsubaki cried, "I just want to live in that kind of place!" He pointed dramatically at the Ra Yellow mansion, "Is that so wrong? I heard they have fancy bedrooms that are like big as the classroom! They even have their own private bathrooms!" He was exaggerating, "A private bathroom! Do you know how painful it is to wait in lines at the first thing in the morning!"

Izumi smacked Tsubaki's face with her paper between her hand and his face, "Ew, too much information." She thought to herself, 'Although a private shower stall would be nice!' She cried to herself as she imagined Lisa, the Obelisk Blue rich blonde girl, laughing snobbishly as she was mocking Izumi with her own fancy rich bathroom, 'Even in my imagination, that snob is mocking me!'

Tsubaki sniffled, "And the food. Each dorm gets to have a large quantity and those yummy mouth watering tasty foods!" He already missed the food he ate at the Obelisk Blue party.

Izumi had a sweat droplet on her face, "That's true…live fishes are getting tiring."

"I hate fish! ARGHHHHHHHHHH!" Tsubaki roared as he ripped his test paper to pieces.

"Well, look at the bright side." Izumi averted her sight toward the ocean.

"Hmm?" Tsubaki wanted to know, so he looked at Izumi's view and saw a small cruise ship at the port. From the cliff, they could see numerous teenagers with luggage and dressed in normal clothes instead of uniforms, although there were those in uniforms hugging the people who were not. They were exchanging farewells and email addresses.

Tsubaki looked down slightly, "True, if we get any lower, then we might get kicked out of the academy."

"That's why we're lucky that we're not kicked out." Izumi pointed out.

Tsubaki laughed, "But you were nearly kicked out!"

Izumi pouted with her fists clenched at her waist, "Don't remind me of that!" She sighed, "Now I owe Yuki more than ever."

Tsubaki asked, "Come to think of it, where's Yuki?"

"Yuki was called to the office for something," Izumi replied while groaning to herself, "Leaving me behind to clean out his dorm."

Tsubaki blinked in confusion and asked, "Huh? Why? When I left this morning, his side of the dorm was clean."

"That stupid rich bimbo sent Yuki tons of gifts," Izumi twitched as she remembered that she saw the dorm was overfilled with flowers and chocolates, "And Yuki said since I "OWE" HIM, I have to clean it up."

Tsubaki whistled as he walked away silently.

Izumi roared as she grabbed Tsubaki's shoulder with some stretching arm, "You're helping me too!"

Tsubaki gaped, "Ehhhh? Why?"

"It's your dorm too!" Izumi shouted.

Further away from the two students, a lone student was entering a large building, the Duel Academy, set near the mountains of the island.

The student walked in, with a cold look on his face as he was extremely annoyed. He was wearing an Osiris Red uniform over his black jeans and his dark shirt. He continued walking down the advanced hallway until he noticed a certain smiling Obelisk Blue male student.

"Good morning, Yuki." The Obelisk Blue student, Alexander, smiled, "What brings you here?"

"I should be asking the same question to you." Kurai scowled at the sight of him.

"Oh I'm here on clerk duties. I always thought this way as repaying for my acceptance to Obelisk Blue." Alexander narrowed his eyes and held his hand under his chin, "Hmmm."

"What?" Kurai was already annoyed.

"Well I saw the results on the public board; I assumed you were going to be promoted to Ra Yellow." Alexander smiled.

Kurai crossed his arms and frowned, "I already knew that!"

"But you're not," Alexander continued smiling, "Well, but then again, you always did many reckless actions and broke lot of rules."

The first thought that came to Kurai's head, 'I'm going to kill this guy.'

"I mustn't keep you and let you be on your way." Alexander walked past Kurai, "Good luck."

Kurai hissed, "I don't need to hear that from you." He walked on and reached the elevator, where a small blonde child-like girl was waiting for him.

"We've been waiting for you." Rebecca turned on the elevator and they both entered it. The elevator finally reached the top of the Duel Academy that led to the Principal's office.

As they walked together through the hallway in uncomfortable silence, Rebecca broke the silence, "Well?"

"Well, what?" Kurai asked in a bored tone.

Rebecca frowned, "Aren't you wondering why you're here?"

"Oh jeeze, you're a mind reader, aren't you?" Kurai replied in sarcastic tone.

Rebecca narrowed her eyes at Kurai, "No wonder, you got into lot of troubles. With an attitude like that, I'm surprised you're not captured by the police."

Kurai retorted, "No, the police declared me elusive."

"Har. Har. Har. Oh now, you're being a wise guy, huh? Whatever, I'm not going to deal with you." Rebecca rolled her eyes, 'Jeeze, darling is way much nicer than him.'

The metallic door slid opened, revealing the large room with the glass walls at the end, displaying the view of the island. Two familiar Osiris Red professors were already waiting. Kurai couldn't find the principal but he noticed behind the desk, was the back of a black leather business chair.

"Hey, kid!" Tyrell, the Osiris Red Headmaster, waved excitedly.

"Hmph." Morgan, the Osiris Red Headmistress, refused to give her greetings to a troublemaker and just clenched her metal clipboard.

Rebecca cleared her throat and then held her arms behind her back, "Principal, Kurai Yuki, Osiris Red Student, is here."

The chair slowly turned around, revealing a very familiar person.

Kurai's amber eyes widened in shock as he gaped, "You?"

"Hey! Yuki, long time no see!" The Fisherman chuckled.

Kurai wanted to scream but he couldn't because it definitely goes against his cold guy reputation. But then again, right now he really wanted to ignore it and screamed. So let's hear him scream.

Okay, it didn't come. Kurai must really cared about his reputation or he never screamed before, so he doesn't know how to.

Kurai just shook his head as he was in some sort of nightmare. He blinked his eyes a few times and then he looked at the Fisherman who was smiling like crazy and had this tiny cute wave. Kurai blinked again and rubbed his head, "Is this some sort of nightmare?"

Rebecca swayed her head, "Nope, it's not a nightmare. I kinda wish it was but it's not. I know it's hard to believe but he's the Principal."

Kurai's eye twitched and he pointed to the Fisherman who was drinking out of coconut cup, "This idiot who fished for who knows how long and never caught a fish is the principal?" Morgan smacked the Fisherman's head with her clipboard and shouted something about proper behavior, "Oh dear god, I'm really surrounded by idiots."

Tyrell complained, "Hey, I resent that!"

Rebecca sighed as she shrugged, "I know how you feel."

Tyrell had a tiny sweat droplet, "Oh come on now, don't declare people as idiots before you even get to know them."

Kurai narrowed his eyes, "You're stupider than an average idiot."

"HEY!" Tyrell put his hands on his hips, "That really hurt, you know! I may be a man and we really don't know each other that well. But when a very precious student of mine who had a duel with me insulted me," He sniffled as he looked away, "It's really heart breaking."

Kurai scoffed, "Yeah, whatever."

Suddenly their little conversation was interrupted by a loud slamming noise from Morgan, who had flattened the Fisherman's coconut with her clipboard. The Fisherman had rivers of tears pouring below his sunglasses, mouthing MY COCONUT! Morgan glared at the people in the room, "Can we get down to business now? Time is wasting with your pity idle chat and we have serious duties to attend to."

Kurai rolled his eyes as he remembered there were few days that he saw Professor Tyrell just sunbathing and greeting his students and the Fisherman fishing in the same spot, talking about patience.

"What was that?" Morgan sneered as she noticed Kurai's eye movement.

"Nothing." Kurai just shrugged her by, not wanting to bother with the easily invoked old woman.

The Fisherman held his hands together, resting his elbows on the desk and his hands underneath his chin, "She's right, you know. So Kurai Yuki," He smiled knowingly, "I bet you're wondering why you're not in Ra Yellow with your score."

"Because I lost to the damn Dynast?" Kurai answered in unsure tone.

"Well actually, your duel with Dynast shows impressive skills. You would have been in Ra Yellow." Samson replied.

"Then why?" Kurai growled as he hated changing the subject.

"How do I say this, kid?" Tyrell crossed his arms as he was thinking hard how to make it sound nice instead of mean.

"You're being punished." Morgan retorted right away with stern face.

"What?" Kurai was slightly surprised and scowled, "The victor of the tag duel didn't get punishment."

Morgan narrowed her eyes, "The victor get the second chance of staying in the Duel Academy and avoid expulsion. The charges of trespassing in the ruins still remained."

Kurai growled.

The Fisherman chuckled, "Well you heard your teacher, as the Principal, I decided it that it would be appropriate that the Osiris Red Professors would decide the proper punishment."

Rebecca rolled her eyes, 'You're just too lazy to think of a punishment by yourself!'

Morgan closed her eyes and poised herself as a strict woman, "I still held firm on the idea that Kurai Yuki should be expelled from the Duel Academy."

"Oh lighten up, Carol" Tyrell tried to calm Morgan down, "You just said so yourself that the victor gets the second chance, plus you don't expel the other kids."

Morgan's forehead vein twitched and she snarled, "It's Miss Morgan! And I still believe that those students should have been expelled."

Tyrell had a sweat droplet as he backed away, "Man, you're scarier than my drill sergeant and he's the toughest one I know…anyway come on now. The council had voted against you and decided that the kids should stay here."

"I still think the punishment should have been expulsion," Morgan crossed her arms while still holding on to the clipboard; "I don't see you try to think of a punishment!"

Tyrell thought hard for awhile and shrugged, "Hmm, what about no punishment?"

People fell down anime style. Kurai had a tiny tear of sweat while twitched as he was deeply annoyed.

Tyrell just swayed his head, "I mean kids are always curious. You can't really blame the kid here for wanting to go exploring."

Morgan suddenly had this scary aura surrounding her with her eyes glowing in fire and her metallic clipboard now seemed like a weapon of Hell.

Tyrell had a giant sweat droplet, "I bet that you don't agree with me." He suddenly went into a boxer's pose, "But I'm not gonna lose to you!" Eventually the two professors got into two big arguments.

Rebecca just smacked her head and wondered how in the world the Principal paired two opposite personalities in one dorm.

Kurai's forehead vein twitched more and more as he was very, very annoyed with this time wasting argument.

The Principal just whistled as he sipped his crazy straw attached to the coconut.

Kurai twitched even more at the Principal's behavior until he heard the door slid opened, revealing a woman dressed in Obelisk Blue uniform.

"Good morning, Principal, I'm here to turn in the proposal." Zenobia smiled as she held a packet of papers.

"Ah, Zenobia, I was waiting for that," The Fisherman took the packet, "Thank you. By the way, have you met Kurai Yuki?" He pointed to the student.

Zenobia turned her head as she stared at Kurai with interests expressed in her eyes, "Of course, we did met before." She smiled seductively.

Kurai frowned back as he hated being stared at as he was some idol at a pedestal.

Zenobia smiled slyly, "It's so good to see the infamous Kurai Yuki again. In case you forgot, my name is Zenobia and I'm the Headmistress of the Obelisk Blue female dorms." She offered her hand.

Kurai just crossed his arms and looked at her coldly, "Pleasure." He said it icily.

Zenobia chuckled and withdrew her hand, "Well, aren't you a charming little boy?"

Kurai glared at the mention of "little boy."

Zenobia just chuckled in response as she looked back at the two professors arguing, "What are these two are arguing about?"

Rebecca sighed exasperatedly, "They're arguing about Yuki's punishments and this is gonna take a LONG time."

"A punishment you say? It must be difficult." Zenobia smirked.

Tyrell groaned, "You have no idea. She's being a maniac."

"That's because you won't offer any punishment!" Morgan roared.

Zenobia put her fingers under her chin as she thought of something, "I have an idea but only if my proposal is accepted."

The Fisherman smirked, "Your proposal is accepted." He put the packet down after he finished reading it.

"What proposal?" Morgan demanded to know.

Zenobia answered, "A proposal for Disciplinary Committee."

"A Disciplinary Committee?" Rebecca raised her eyes out of suspicion.

Zenobia explained, "Since we are running low in security and we, teachers, had to teach our classes. We won't be able to keep eyes on our precious students. Why not use students to watch over students and strengthen discipline of this academy." She smirked, "And Kurai can the head disciplinary committee."

"Huh?" Kurai was very surprised.

Morgan was about to yell at Zenobia and tell how wrong that plan was, but instead she just blinked, "Actually, that's a good idea."

Tyrell sweat-dropped, "You serious? Well, it's fine with me too." He shrugged because he didn't have to think of anything.

Zenobia smiled, "Oh Carol, I'm so glad that you actually like it, considering you never like my ideas to begin with."

"Well I was pleasantly surprised that you actually had a good idea in a long while." Morgan laughed.

"Oh you flatter me. At least I have ideas unlike you. Ho! Ho! Ho!" Zenobia laughed along but really, they were exchanging sparks.

Morgan became serious again as she averted her head from the professor to Kurai, "It would do well for you. Perhaps, it'll teach you proper morals that you seriously lack."

The Fisherman just smiled, "Then it's decided!" He pointed to Kurai dramatically, "You are now the head of the Disciplinary Committee!"

Kurai just blinked as he was deeply shocked. He opened his mouth.

"NANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?" His loud scream shook the island.

Well, why do you know? He finally screamed!

Episode 19: Kurai is the Disciplinary Chairman?

"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" A loud panting echoed and then the noise resumed its loud braying, "HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" The crazy laughter came from a wore-down cafeteria, a block away from the Osiris Red Dorms. The owner of the laughter was a spiked red hair boy, Tsubaki, who was laughing hysterically and holding his chest, ignoring the throbbing pain. He couldn't hold it in and tried to straighten himself on his chair or he would fall off and roll on the floor, still laughing. Sitting across from the wooden table was Izumi, who had a tiny bead of sweat, embarrassed of her friend's reaction. Sitting next to her was Kurai, who crossed his arms and obviously pissed off at the annoying noise. Sitting next to Tsubaki was Alexander who was calmly drinking a poorly done tea made in the Osiris kitchen. Although the tea was terrible, he was secretly enjoying the display of feelings residing in their table.

Tsubaki kept laughing for many minutes and tears were coming out of his eyes, "HA! HA! HA! Oh my God, this is just hilarious!" He brought his body forward, trying to reprimand the pain, "Oh, my chest hurts!" He just laughed even more while banging on the table, forgetting the fact that their lunches were on the top, "Yuki? The Head of the Disciplinary Committee?"

Kurai's tiny twitching forehead vein just increased in size with each second that Tsubaki laughed passed. Izumi, who already noticed Kurai's mark of annoyance, had more beads of sweat droplets and she tried to calm Tsubaki before anything get any worse than before, "Tsubaki, I really think you should stop it, you know. Yuki already suffers enough, don't you think?"

Tsubaki didn't stop as he continued to laugh, "I'm sorry!" He hastily apologized before he resumed, "It's just too funny!" He stopped laughing to catch his breath and then explained, "I mean, Yuki had been this cold hearted troublemaker with this creepy aura that giving everyone this message, "Leave me alone or I'll kill you!" Now this same troublemaker had to bust troublemakers because he's the head of the disciplinary committee!" He pointed to the official badge, pinned on Kurai's Osiris Red uniform jacket. The circular badge contained three silver letters of H, D, and C while decorated with the edges that contained engravings that said Duel Academia Disciplinary Committee, "I'm laughing at the irony!" He resumed laughing again.

Alexander calmly sipped his tea and then set it down with a sadistic smile plastered on his face, "It is quite humorous, isn't it?" He chuckled softly which just made Kurai twitched even more.

Tsubaki wrapped his arm around Alexander's shoulder and pointed to him, "See! See! He agrees with me!" He just laughed even more and he returned to banging the poor wear-down table.

Kurai gritted his teeth and he clenched his hands on his crossed arms tighter while his forehead vein kept increasing in size until he finally snapped. He snatched Tsubaki's collar and dragged him up until Tsubaki's head was threateningly close to him, "Laugh for one more second and I swear," He clenched Tsubaki's collar tighter, "I'll grab my badge and shove it up your …."

"Oh my," Alexander smirked, "I bet both of you would enjoy that, would you?"

Kurai glared intensely and roared, "Do you wanna die?"

Tsubaki complained, "Damnit, Alex! I thought I said no more gay jokes!"

Izumi quickly interrupted the threat by putting both of her hands on the boys' faces and pushed them away, "Okay! No fighting and that mean no threats too!" She sighed annoyingly and she looked at Kurai with disappointment, "You need to chill. It's not Tsubaki's fault, you know."

Kurai just snarled like an angry beast. Alexander smiled and he went back to sipping his tea, "Izumi is right, Yuki. It is your fault for wanting to go to the ruin first and we merely went to get you because we were concerned for your life. You should know what dangers we had gone through to find you."

Izumi and Tsubaki just had sudden flashbacks of all the deadly traps they nearly evaded. They both nodded at the same time, "True."

Kurai just crossed his arms and looked away rudely, "Hmph."

"Yuki," Izumi tried to cheer him up, "It's not that bad. I mean I'm sure you can still duel and do whatever you normally do. You just have one extra thing to do, that's all."

"Yeah," Tsubaki agreed, "All you have to do is to catch the troublemakers and punish them….." He closed his mouth then he stifled, "Hmmmmm…" He finally broke and laughed even more which result a thrown ceramic bowl at his head, "OUCH!"

Kurai glared with his death look and then hissed, "I swear. Laugh again and I'll…"

"YUKI!" A high pitched voice interrupted his threat.

Kurai quickly recognized the voice and he groaned to himself, "Great." He tried to ignore the stomping noise and the new presence behind him.

Alexander smiled as he knew this presence, "Hello, Instructor Rebecca, it's a great honor that you grace us with your presence."

Rebecca rolled her eyes and she just waved it off, "Yeah, yeah, whatever spare me the suck up lines. You're making me sick."

Alexander just smiled, annoying Rebecca a lot, "I wouldn't dare."

Rebecca frowned but she knew better to ignore him and she faced Kurai, "Yuki! What are you doing here?"

Kurai just looked at her as she was an idiot, "Eating, isn't that obvious?"

Rebecca scowled at his remark, "Shut up. As your punishment entitled you, it's your job to clear up disputes and watch out for troubles!"

Kurai blinked and he looked around dully. He faced her again, "All clear."

Rebecca's forehead vein twitched but she composed herself, not letting her emotions taking charge, "You just love being a smartass aren't you? Of course not here, as we are speaking right now, there's a dispute near the Ra Yellow dorms. And you need to settle it because it's your job and your punishment! And if you fail to settle it, I had the power to report this to the Principal and get you expelled."

"Question!" Tsubaki had his hand raised up.

Rebecca sighed annoyingly and averted her eyes to Tsubaki, "What is it and we're not in the classroom."

"Is it really true that the Fisherman guy who fished in the same spot and never got a fish for who knows how many years was actually the principal of this Academy?" Tsubaki asked.

There was a long uncomfortable silence, making the lunch room deathly quiet which was rare because it was normally filled with noises from chatty students. It was so quiet that they could hear the crickets having their own concert. The silence was finally interrupted by Rebecca's answer, "Yes."

Tsubaki's jawbone dropped and he yelled in shock, "Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That mean Yuki wasn't joking?"

Izumi blinked as she was stunned, "That is so hard to believe."

Rebecca looked at the screen with shadow above her eyes and obvious disgust expressed in her face, "Make you wonder how in the world Kaiba chose this man to be the principal."

Kurai stood up abruptly, grabbed everyone's attention, "Near the Ra Yellow dorms, right?"

Rebecca just nodded silently and Kurai walked out of the cafeteria with hands in his pocket, displaying his strong resentment toward his punishment but he knew he had to do it.

Izumi quickly got up afterward and went after him, "Hey, Yuki! Let me help you!" She was following her sense of obligation to Kurai because she owed him a lot for his help.

Tsubaki swallowed his entire lunch in one gulp and then he followed them, "Hey, wait for me!" He just wanted to see what Kurai could do.

Rebecca sighed out of relief and she closed her eyes and swayed her head in disappointment, "This is going to be a disaster, I know it will," She opened her eyes, aware of the familiar presence she hated and she glared at the person drinking tea calmly, "I thought you normally go with them and enjoy their little troubles?"

Alexander stopped drinking his tea and slowly set the cup down. He smiled slightly with his hands wrapped around the cup, "I like being here with you." Alexander chuckled.

Rebecca raised her eye out of suspicion and she scoffed, "You're sick."

Alexander smiled again, "Maybe I am. I'm off. I need to enjoy the little show that Yuki might put on." He waved as he left the cafeteria.

Rebecca blinked as she was confused with his answer. She wanted to think about it but she had no time. She simply crossed her arms and rolled her eyes out of annoyance, "Hmph."

At the same time, a light violet-red haired boy, Rad, was waiting at the docks along with Professor Schmitt. Normally, Rad would hang out with the gang for excitement but he was stuck here instead. Rad sighed as he spun himself around on the dock line, "This is so boring! How long do we have to wait, Professor?"

Schmitt sighed as he was feeling a little irritated with his student's hyperactive and impatient nature, "You asked that a minute ago, Radnor."

Rad blinked curiously, "And?" He was expecting an answer.

Schmitt scowled, "Like I always said. Just a few more moments. We haven't seen the boat yet."

Rad whined, "I rather be with them right now. Every moment's always exciting around them, you know?"

Schmitt smacked his head, "Yes, I know…you said it a hundred times now." He looked at Radnor. He knew he was a strong Ra Yellow duelist and had excellent scores on the test, of course, he suspected that it must be out of pure luck instead of intelligence, "You know…instead of spending all the time with your friends, have you thought of improving your dueling skills?" In fact, Schmitt knew that with proper training, Radnor could be an Obelisk Blue duelist in short time.

Rad laughed, "Well, I don't know. I think I'm just fine as I am now."

Schmitt sighed disappointedly, "You know Radnor, I'm quite worried about your attitude. If you don't have a strong drive, you won't be a good duelist."

Rad blinked in confusion, "I'm not a good duelist? I don't know about that. I think I done well against people who challenged me."

"Personally," Schmitt gave his opinion, "I think your victories are just matter of…"

"Hey!" Rad interrupted as he saw something at the horizon, "I see a boat! Is that the one we're waiting for?" He pointed to a small cruise ship sailing toward the dock.

Schmitt placed his hand above his eyes for a closer look. He nodded, "Yes, that's the one we're waiting for."

Few minutes later, the ship arrived at the dock. As the crew members were tying the ship to the dock line, a tall handsome student came out onto the deck. He wore a brown stylish slouch hat with black hat band. He also wore a white collared button shirt over his black pants with brown belt. He analyzed the surroundings and then grinned, "Blue sky, white sand, emerald sea, hidden ruins! South Duel Academy is beautiful!"

Rad blinked and looked at the Professor, "Who's this guy?"

Schmitt answered, "James Crocodile Cook. The number one 1st Year Ra Yellow Student. He received the highest score on the entrance exam."

Rad whistled in amazement, "So this is the guy who gets a vacation and beat my score, huh?"

What made South Duel Academy different from the other Duel Academies was that students were given the chance to take transfer studies of their own choices. One could study in Japan for a semester and the other could intern in Industrial Illusions. To get those rare opportunities, students had to study hard and get good scores. The top scorer of Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue were given that opportunity.

Schmitt questioned, "James, how fare your archeological dig?"

James walked down the drawbridge and smiled, "It was exciting especially when I get to study with the amazing Doctor Hopkins!"

The others heard an old chuckle and they looked back to see an old man who wore a beige suit with a red bowtie coming out of his room to the deck. The old man smiled, "You flattered me too much, lad. I never have such intern who's passionate as you."

Schmitt was surprised, "Dr. Hopkins! It's an honor to have you here at our Duel Academy. Could you be here to visit your daughter?"

Dr. Hopkins smiled gently, "Precisely. I want to see how Rebecca is doing. Oh…" Something brushed past his legs, "James, your pet's awake."

Schmitt blinked, "James's pet? EEEEH?" He nearly freaked out as he saw a large green crocodile got on the draw plank, "A…a crocodile?"

"Karen!" James said the crocodile's name fondly as he walked back up the plank and kneeled by her. He rubbed her head, "Did you rest well?"

"Wow!" Rad clenched his fists excitedly as he stared at Karen in amazement.

James noticed Rad, "Hmm?" He grinned, "Like what you see?"

Rad nodded, "Yeah! That's one awesome toy you have there!"

There was a long uncomfortable silence as the winds blew.

James had a tiny sweat droplet on the side of his head but his smile was still on his face, "Eh?"

Schmitt smacked his head, "Oh for goodness's sake, Radnor…"

Karen suddenly growled as she hated to be called a toy. James quickly tried to calm her down, "Calm down, Karen…Maybe he didn't mean it…"

Rad ran up the draw plank and stared at it, "Look at the awesome details!" He kneeled down and rubbed Karen's back, "It felt so real too! Man, toys are so advanced these days."

James's sweat droplet became bigger, "Even this close, you still think this is a toy?"

Karen growled even more as she moved slightly.

Rad exclaimed, "Wow, it even moved too! It even growled! This is so awesome! Karen, right? That's one wicked toy!" He rubbed the crocodile's back.

Karen growled slightly but then she decided to forgive the simple minded boy as she was enjoying her back rub. She purred in content.

James blinked in surprise. He laughed out loud, "You're amazing, my friend. No one try to get close to Karen except you. I'm James but you can call me Jim!"

Rad replied, "I'm Radnor but you can call me Rad! Oh yeah, I was supposed to give you a tour or something."

Jim grinned, "Lead the way, my friend!"

Schmitt couldn't believe his eyes. He sighed, "I'm not sure if we allowed crocodile in school…" He narrowed his eyes, "But then again…I did received patients who claimed to be attacked by a lion…"

Author's note: Refer to episode 6 Part A for the lion!

Few minutes later, Kurai and his-so called gang of a ditzy girl, hot headed idiot, and a sadistic freak, had finally reached the Ra Yellow Dorm, where it was reported that there was a fight.

Tsubaki just blinked, "I felt so insulted by that comment."

Kurai replied dully, "It's true anyway."

"HEY!" Tsubaki snapped.

Izumi had a tiny sweat droplet, "I'm not a ditz, am I?" She asked out loud.

Kurai just looked away and Tsubaki just whistled suspiciously as he also looked in different direction for his friends. Both of them did not even bother to answer her question.

Izumi twitched slightly at the lack of answers and asked again in a much scarier tone, "I'm not a ditz, am I?"

Tsubaki had a large sweat droplet as he backed away from the scary girl, "Umm…AH, I wonder what's going on!" He looked at the other direction, changing the subject forcefully.

Many Ra Yellow students were gathered around to witness the fight between two male Ra Yellow students fighting each other with fists.

Izumi gasped, "A fight?"

Tsubaki gaped and clenched his fist with excitement, "Cool! A fist fight!"

Izumi glared at Tsubaki, causing the hot head to sweat drop nervously and quickly changed his comment, "Ah I mean, that's bad."

The Osiris Red girl crossed her arms and then she asked one of the Ra Yellow students, "Hey, why are those two guys fighting?"

The student responded, "They just had a duel and one of them was being a sore loser. The other one was attacking his sore spot, by calling him a weak duelist."

Izumi just looked in disbelief and narrowed her eyes, "I see…so it's the typical result of the male pride of two guys clashing with each other."

Alexander chuckled, "Aw, Izumi. Not all of my gender is like that. Either way, Yuki," he smiled, "isn't it your job to stop them?"

Kurai scowled, saying he doesn't need him to tell him what to do. He walked forward through the crowd, pushing the Ra Yellow students out of the way, earning yells and cries from them.

"I'm not weak! Take that back!" The defending student complained as he responded with a forward punch.

It was easily avoided by a slightly taller student and the offender retorted, "If you're being such a sore loser, then you are weak!" That earned him a punch in the face cheek. The taller student groaned and he quickly punched back in response.

The crowd either gasped out of concern or urged them to continue the fight for their own enjoyment until Kurai suddenly snatched both fighters' collars and broke up the fight.

The offender was surprised and peered, "What the hell are you doing?"

The other student yelled, "Don't interfere with us!" Then he finally noted a badge on Kurai's uniform jacket, "You're….you're the head of the Disciplinary Committee!"

The offender blinked and realized, "Hey, you're right! You're that guy on the morning announcement on the PDA!"

The crowd gasped as they realized it was him, the head of the Disciplinary Committee and also the one who dared to go to the forbidden ruin and won the punishment tag duel with Izumi against Lisa and Rebecca.

Izumi had a sweat droplet as she was surprised at the speed of how the news of Kurai's punishment spread so quickly, "News sure traveled fast."

The offender smacked Kurai's hand away and then complained, "Sir," Kurai twitched at the word SIR, "This guy here punched me and started the fight!"

The other student yelled back, "Hey! I didn't start the fight! You're the one who stared it by provoking me first with your immature name calling!"

The offender countered, "It's the truth! You really are a weak duelist! You just don't want to admit it!"

The other guy roared, "Oh, that's it!" He lunged forward at the offender and they started fighting each other again.

Izumi sighed, "This is going too crazy."

Tsubaki nodded in agreement, "I agree. These guys are amateurs. That guy should punch him right in…"

Izumi slapped poor Tsubaki with a steel paper fan courtesy of Yumi, an Osiris Red girl who used a Fan deck, "I'm not talking about that!"

Alexander smiled, "I wonder how Yuki is going to solve this."

Izumi had a giant sweat droplet as she had a bad feeling, "Something tells me, this is going to be a disaster."

Kurai just watched the fight between them with great annoyance. He pondered what is exactly that he is supposed to do as the head of the disciplinary crap. He was supposed to punish them, right? Or was it to settle disputes and take this calmly? Kurai twitched again, 'That's it, I'll just do it my own way!' He grabbed both fighters' collars again, surprising them.

Izumi blinked, "Yuki?"

Kurai dragged both of them toward the cliff and then tossed both of them into the ocean. Loud cries and screams were heard until a loud splash came afterwards. Everyone in the crowd were stunned and just started in uncomfortable silence. Kurai clapped his hands, to wipe the dust off, "Hmph, if it helps, I believe both of you are weak." He walked away, leaving the crowd to sweat drop and don't want to interfere with a scary man.

Izumi had more sweat droplets, "….I knew it was going to be a disaster."

Tsubaki, who just came crawling back after being sent flying from Izumi's steel fan, asked "What just happened?"

Kurai was about to enjoy his alone time until his obnoxious PDA rang. He groaned and then answered it. The LCD screen showed Rebecca's face and he groaned again, "What now?"

Rebecca frowned at Kurai's rude tone, "I take it that you're done?"

Kurai looked back at the two Ra students gasping for air as they finally swam out of the ocean and he looked back, "Yeah."

Rebecca stared at him suspiciously but decided to ignore it. She continued on, "Whatever, I need you to go over to the Osiris Red dorms, there's some bad argument there and I need you to solve it." Her face disappeared before Kurai get to say anything.

Kurai scoffed, "That damn coward! Why do I have to do this?" He growled and he walked back to the Osiris Red dorms. The others caught up with him of course.

At the Osiris Red, two female students were fighting over the ownership of a so called precious card. Both female students had their hands on a single card and they were pulling at the same time, yelling Mine! Mine! Mine! No, it's mine!

"…..girls..." Kurai rolled his eyes and pushed Izumi to them, "You take care of this."

Izumi blinked and she gaped, "Huh? Why do I have to do your job?"

Kurai replied, "Because I said so."

Izumi snapped, "That's not a reason!" she sighed exasperatedly, "Fine, fine, I owe you anyway," she walked up to the girls, "Hey, girls, what's the problem here?"

The first girl shouted, "She's trying to steal my card!"

The second girl gasped and retorted, "Your card? You mean my card! I bought that card!"

The first girl growled, "No, you didn't! I bought that card!" both girls resorted to a cat fight.

Izumi sighed and she broke them up, "Um, can someone care to tell me the story here?"

The first girl answered, "Well, you see there was a special sale at the card store yesterday."

The second girl continued, "And we have to buy it because we adore him!"

"Him?" Izumi asked.

"Him?" Tsubaki questioned.

"Huh?" Kurai raised his eyebrow.

Both girls screamed at the same time, "The most coolest man in Duel Monsters!"

Izumi blinked, "Most coolest man? Who?"

The first girl giggled, "You're so silly. Everyone knew who the most coolest man in Duel Monsters is."

The second girl giggled too, "That's right. No other man can be compared to this magnificent creature."

Tsubaki was offended, "I felt insulted again."

Alexander chuckled, "Well, there are some girls that desire fantasy men instead of men of reality."

Izumi had another sweat droplet on her forehead. She closed her eyes and laughed softly out of embarrassment, "Sorry that I didn't know. So who is this guy…um card?"

"Don Zaloog!" Both of them slammed the card directly at Izumi's face.

There was a long eerie silence of disbelief. Izumi looked at them as they were crazy and sadly, so did the guys except Alexander of course.

"Isn't he so hot?" The first girl squealed with dreamy eyes, "There was a rare-printed first edition for sale yesterday, so we split the cost and bought it."

Izumi just stared at the card with weird look, "Um…I guess it's hot in…some way."

The second girl sighed, "But we love him so much, we can't share him!" She snatched the card from Izumi, "So Don Zaloog belongs to me!"

The first girl roared, "No, it belongs to me!" She grabbed the card too but the second girl wouldn't let go, so they started having a tug of war contest.

"Ack, come on, girls! Can we all calm down and do this rationally?" Izumi tried to stop them.

But the girls didn't listen and continued pulling the card, yelling their claims of ownerships until Kurai snatched the card from them.

The girls were surprised, "Huh?"

"Yuki?" Izumi wondered what Yuki was going to do.

Kurai tore the card in half and then gave the halves to both girls, "Here, now both of you can have it." He walked away.

Izumi just gaped at the CRUELTY of what Kurai just did. The girls blinked as they just stared at the torn card. They suddenly broke into hysterical tears but of course, Kurai doesn't really give a damn.

Tsubaki sweat dropped, "Now that's a disaster."

Kurai was finally about to get his peaceful alone time until his PDA rang again. Kurai stopped at the first rang. Kurai just stood there, making sure he didn't hear anything until the second rang came. The dual-haired guy was twitching as he slowly grabbed his PDA from his jacket. He stared at it with great loathe.

Alexander just smiled, "I take it you have another job."

Kurai just glared intensely at Alexander. And Alexander was right. Apparently, there was a problem in the kitchen at the Obelisk Blue dorms. When the gang arrived there, Tsubaki and Izumi couldn't help but stared in great amazement at the magnificent castle-like structure and the fancy kitchen made out of expensive materials.

"Ehh, this is the kitchen for Obelisk Blue?" Izumi couldn't hide her shock.

"Hmm yeah, but this is rather too much for me." Alexander chuckled as he tried to ignore all the fancy jewelry decorations.

Tsubaki was drooling at the sight of all the fancy food prepared on the large marble table, "I'm in heaven again….look at all these food!" He was about to grab one but Alexander smacked his hand.

Alexander smiled, "Sorry, Tsubaki but the chef here is a close friend of Lisa. Steal one and you'll suffer Lisa's rage the first thing in the morning."

"Awww, man!" Tsubaki sulked, "I just wanted a tidbit of a five star meal."

Kurai had his arms crossed as he was waiting with great annoyance expressed in his face, "Where's the damn chef?"

"Right here!" A loud voice was heard.

The Osiris Red trio glanced toward the direction of their voice and their eyes widened out of pure shock. The Obelisk Blue Chef was a very macho man dressed in a pink chef's uniform with eyes that seemed to sparkles like the sort of eyes in Shojo manga. In fact, they seemed to see a strange flowery background behind this chef.

Tsubaki had a giant sweat droplet on the back of his head and then he looked back at Alexander, "I can see why he's a close friend of Lisa…"

"Oh monsieur, thank goodness, you're here! I have a grand probleme! A big problem!" The Chef was crying, making him such an embarrassing sight.

"What?" Kurai replied coldly.

The Chef cried even more, "So froid (cold)! Your heart is glace (ice)!" He stopped his crying act, "My dinner is tres (very) ruined!"

Tsubaki blinked and then he averted his head toward all the fancy food, "This is ruined?"

Chef wailed, "My le meilleur (best) recipe is missing one thing! And that one is chevere!" He said it so dramatically.

Izumi sweat-dropped and asked, "Chevere?"

Chef wailed even more, "Chevere! Goat Cheese!"

The Osiris trio just turned completely white out of pure shock and disbelief and they spoke at the same time, "Goat cheese?"

Chef sniffled, "Yes, you see, Je ordered goat cheese for this special day but Je received a call saying that the shipment will be delayed! Mon maitre (my master) dinner is ruined!" He begged Kurai, "Please, monsieur, you must get me the goat cheese!"

There was another long uncomfortable silence. Then Kurai walked away from the pitiful man.

"Kind monsieur?" Chef was questioning Kurai's action.

Kurai walked to the nearest refrigerator and opened it. Then he tossed a good old regular American cheese at the Chef, "Use that one."

Chef blinked as he stared at this strange object, "But this is American cheese, I need goat cheese!"

Kurai suddenly gave the Chef the death glare, making the poor Chef cried out of fright, "Cheese is cheese."

Chef cried, "Wahhhhhhhhhh! A monster!"

Tsubaki and Izumi sweat dropped and both of them waved their hands, "No, that's just Yuki."

Kurai was about to FINALLY enjoy his own quality time until the dreadful rang destroyed his peace. "ARGHHHHHHHH!" Kurai finally snapped as he grabbed his PDA and about to toss it in the ocean but Alexander caught Kurai's arm. He smiled, "If you throw that away, you won't be able to duel here anymore." Since PDA was the student's official ID in strange sort of way.

Kurai scowled and sadly the poor gang had to settle disputes, stop fight, mediate arguments, and do bunch of minor ridiculous tasks. By the end of the day, Kurai finally went back to his room and collapsed on his bed, groaning to himself as he knew why this job was going to be a punishment for him. He was about to head off to slumber-land until the horrible rang disrupted him. Kurai moaned and decided to ignore it. He left his PDA to take messages. The PDA stopped ringing and the message was recorded and replayed, "Hey, Yuki," It was Rebecca's voice, "I know you're there and not even going to bother picking up your PDA, so I'm just going to tell you this. I'm giving your email to all of the students."

Kurai's eyes snapped open and he grabbed his PDA, "Nani?"

"So the way, when students have problem, they can just contact you. You better do your best, Yuki!" The PDA stopped playing the message.

Kurai's eyes were still wide with great shock and he cursed out loud. It seemed it was not really a punishment but rather torture for him.
