"I can't believe this happened to me!" Sylvester shouted. "I don't know who that guy was, but he'll pay just like I plan on making Yukin pay! How dare he put me in this agonizing position!" The worst he had was a couple sprains that would heal and is just in a common hospital.

"You don't have to worry, my boy." Mr. Sotter said. Mr. Sotter was a short, chubby, and bald man, but he was the mayor nevertheless. "I'm going to get you the best treatment possible and I will find the one responsible."

"I already know who the mastermind is! It's got to be Yukin Sakuma!" Sylvester said. "That guy just came out of nowhere and helped Zoey? I don't think so! Yukin had to have sent him! I swear that I will get payback!" What a drama queen.

LID

A limo pulled up to LID. Out came a woman dressed in business casual attire and had silver hair that reached the base of her neck. She walked right inside with the employees bowing down to greet her.

"Welcome, Madam Chairwoman."

"Thank you. I'm going straight to see my son." The chairwoman said. She made her way up the floors of the building and soon found herself in the office of the man that's been learning more about Yukin and his elemental cards.

"Hello, Mother."

"Hello, Renji. I take it things have been going well." The chairwoman said. "Preparations for the Junior Champion League are underway?"

"Yes, but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about." Renji said.

"I thought as much. You wouldn't have called me over if it weren't of great importance." The chairwoman said. "What's going on?"

"Take a look at this." Renji said. He activated a screen on his wall and showed the stats of Yukin. "This young man is the son of Yokon Sakuma. His name is Yukin. Look at what this young man has discovered." He showed an image of Yukin dueling and showed him elemental summoning.

"What's this?" The chairwoman asked.

"It's called elemental summoning. It's a new form of summoning that this young man alone can do." Renji said. "It appears to be a powerful force. I believe we can use it for our true objective."

"Really?" The chairwoman asked.

"Indeed." Renji said. "The problem is figuring out how to convince Yukin Sakuma to join us. He's the only one that can elemental summon. If we are not able to pull it off ourselves, he could play a key part in our plans. On top of that, I'm not entirely convinced that Yukin himself would be of help to us. While his elemental summoning could be, Yukin might not. Even he doesn't know all the secrets to elemental summoning."

"So, you desire his elemental cards. Where does this Yukin resign?" The chairwoman asked.

"He attends True Duel School." Renji said. "I'm hoping to see for myself what he can do, but there might not be much time."

"Not much time? What do you mean?" The chairwoman asked.

"I just received word that Sylvester Sotter, one of our students, was attacked yesterday and is hospitalized." Renji said.

"Do you think "they" are the ones behind it?" The chairwoman asked.

"I'm not sure. He believes Yukin Sakuma was the one behind this." Renji said.

"Really?" The chairwoman said as she believes she can use this to their advantage.

...

True Duel

"Let me go over this one last time." Eli said as he was teaching his class again. "In order to pull off a win, you can't rely on just one card combo. You never know what card you're going to draw. That's why it's important to have a different set of cards in your deck that can balance each other out."

"I feel like I'm learning the basics again." Yukin said as he was so bored.

"It can't be helped. Alyssa, Augustus, and Nathan are just learning how to duel. They need to learn the basics." Siegrain said.

"I'm with Yukin. This is so boring." Soto said. "Why do we need to be here when we already know how to duel?"

"Hey, I'm the teacher here. We learn what I say we learn." Eli said.

"I'm willing to bet he doesn't know much more than us." Soto whispered to Yukin.

"Hey. What's with Zoey?" Augustus said. All of them looked at Zoey and it looked like her mind was somewhere distant.

"She's been like that all day." Alyssa said.

"Really? What's going on with her?" Nathan said.

"I don't know. She was like that last night, but she won't tell me what's going on." Alyssa said. Zoey couldn't stop thinking about what happened between Sylvester and that mystery duelist. Not only did the guy come out of nowhere and disappeared, but it looked like he actually hurt Sylvester.

'I don't understand. What happened in that duel?' Zoey thought. 'Sylvester looked like he actually got hurt. Just who was that guy?'

"Zoey!" Eli called out and snapped her back to reality. "Is there something you like to share with the rest of the class?"

"Uh... No, Dad." Zoey said.

"That's Principle Baxter while we're here." Eli said.

"Zoey, are you sure you're okay?" Yukin said. Zoey wasn't sure if she should tell the others what happened because she doesn't know what to think of it herself.

"Yukin! Yukin Sakuma!"

"Get out here!" They all heard people calling out for him.

"Who could that be?" Yukin said. He went out to check it out and saw Sylvester's entourage was there. "You three losers again? You hang with Sylvester, don't you?"

"That's right. At least we did."

"You might be interested to know that your rival lost in a duel."

"It was a crushing defeat."

"Who said Sylvester and I were rivals? He's just a spoiled brat." Yukin said as everyone else came out.

"Pay attention."

"Not only did he lose that duel, but he's also hospitalized."

"Hospitalized?! You mean he's in the hospital?!" Yukin said. He might not like Sylvester, but he didn't like the sound of that. Zoey thought about what happened and realized that what she saw was real. She was quite shocked as she put her hands over her mouth.

"His injuries are quite severe."

"He might never duel again."

"But he's trying his best to be brave. He's a true warrior." The truth was that Sylvester was still living in luxury, even in a hospital.

"And it's all your fault, Yukin!" All three of them said as they just accused Yukin.

"My fault?! How is it my fault?!" Yukin said.

"Sylvester already used his brilliant deduction."

"We know you were the one that sent that guy to duel Sylvester. You were too scared to do it yourself, weren't you?"

"How could you do something so low?"

"Hold on!" Zoey said as she stepped in. "I was there. Yukin had nothing to do with what happened."

"Besides, Yukin would never do something like that." Siegrain said.

"I think Sylvester's stupidity has rubbed off on these guys." Yukin said. "I don't know if you all hit your heads or whatever, but you have no real evidence that I did anything wrong."

"Well, we certainly have a predicament. You appear to be at the center of it, young man." All of them looked and spotted the chairwoman standing by the school.

"Where'd she come from?" Alyssa questioned.

"Who is she?" Augustus asked. Finding this all very strange, they acted civilized and invited the chairwoman inside so that they may talk about this issue.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Miss Abarin. I happen to be the chairwoman of LID."

"What does the chairwoman of LID want with us?" Eli asked.

"It would seem that your student, Yukin Sakuma, has caused quite the problem for our school." Miss Abarin said. "As you know, LID is the number one duel school in the city. We offer courses for all the summoning types. However, Yukin appears to have discovered a new form of summoning: elemental summoning. He used it to defeat Bone Crusher and Sylvester. There lies the problem. Yukin has made a mockery of LID!"

"What?" Yukin said.

"LID is the number one school in the city." Miss Abarin said. "To have a nobody in a rundown school like this beat one of our current students, and one of our former students that have gone pro, is a mockery that I will not stand for. Not to mention that you're being accused of injuring Sylvester Sotter."

"That wasn't me!" Yukin said.

"Yukin's right. You have no proof that he's the one responsible." Zoey said. "I was there. I saw what happened. Yukin had nothing to do with this."

"Miss Abarin, I think it might be best if you leave." Eli said. "You're accusing one of my students without any proof."

"I'm afraid I'm not leaving until this matter is resolved." Miss Abarai said. "That's why I'm making a proposition. We have three duels, a best two out of three match. If you win, I'll drop the whole thing and it will be forgotten. If we win, you will hand over ownership of True Duel School to LID, and Yukin will be transferred to our school."

"What?!" Eli said.

"Hold on. You want payback at me, but you want me to join LID?" Yukin said.

"That's right." Miss Abarai said. "You're a gifted duelist, Yukin. You deserve nothing less than the best. We can certainly take you to a higher level than this rundown school can."

"My father built this school himself." Yukin said as he didn't like it being insulted. "It sounds like everyone in LID is nuts. You might have better equipment and better classes, but we teach the one thing that's important and that your school doesn't seem to teach. We teach heart here."

"Be that as it may, I'm afraid this conflict will only be resolved in this manner." Miss Abarai said. "Isn't it the heart of a duelist to accept challenges? Unless you are afraid. It wouldn't surprise me that a mediocre school like this is too intimidated to face LID." She appears to be hitting the right nerves with Yukin and it's going just how she wanted. 'That's right. Take my bait. Once we defeat you, Yukin will be a part of LID and we'll learn everything we can about elemental summoning. I'll see for myself if Yukin is really worth anything.' She thought.

"Yukin, we cant' agree to this." Siegrain said.

"Siegrain's right. This is all nonsense." Zoey said.

"Maybe, but I won't allow her to insult my father's school." Yukin said. "Besides, it doesn't seem like they'll drop this. This is a matter of pride."

"Mr. Baxter, what do you say? You're the one in charge." Miss Abarin said. "Will you accept these terms?"

"Well, I don't like you insulting my students, but since this involves the students, I'll let them decide." Eli said.

"Figures. You don't know how to take charge of your own school." Miss Abarin said. All of them were getting tired of her trashing their school. Yukin was right. This is a matter of pride.

"That's it. I'm not going to keep listening to this." Zoey said.

"Me either." Siegrain said. All of them were feeling the same. They might be small, but they'll stand and fight if they have to.

"So what do you say?" Miss Abarin asked.

"I say, let's duel." Yukin said. All according to Miss Abarin's plan. Once the terms for the duels have been set, Miss Abarin called in three students from LID.

"It will be just as I said." Miss Abarin said as they all moved to the dueling field. "We will have three matches. The school that wins two out of three will be the winner. The first one representing LID will be Seymore." The first one was a young boy. He had green hair with a metal visor over his head. He wore a green long-sleeve with stars on the shoulders with white pants. He also appeared to have a psychotic grin on his face.

"Which one of us is going to take him on?" Siegrain questioned.

"I'll do it." Yukin said as he stepped forward in the duel area. Eli was up in the control room for the reality generator.

"She thinks we're rock bottom? We'll show her with the right field." Eli said as he has the perfect field in mind. "I'm activating Sky Ruins!" The reality generator activated and it became a series of ruins that is up in the sky. The battle for True Duel School is about to begin. Which side will win? Meanwhile, another visitor was coming. It was Renji himself. Why would he be there?
