Another chapter for this story. Hope you enjoy.

If there's one thing that the Duel Monsters in Jaden's deck didn't enjoy about him; is that the boy didn't want to study for his schoolwork. Jaden pretty much didn't want to learn anything. But they know that he was smart. It was just that Jaden didn't want to because of something personal to him. Still, they did tell him to at least try to learn s few things that could help him later in life. Reluctantly, Jaden agreed. But the boy would often get in trouble with his teachers. They would often give him detention whenever he was causing problems in class.

Jaden tried to be a good student. But he didn't understand the lessons. When he asked for help from the other students, they would laugh at Jaden because he wasn't catching up them. In fact, even his teachers seemed to give up on him. They even say that he was just a lost cost for them to teach. But Jaden didn't care what everybody said. He was going to make good grades. He was going to make his Duel Monsters proud of him. Along with his father... and his mother.

But his parents were hardly at home. He even asked them to help him with his homework. But his father would strictly tell him to do it himself. Saying that he must become independent on his own. His mother had reluctantly agreed with his father. Jaden knew that he couldn't dependent on them forever, someday he'll be on his own without them. Whatever he likes or not.

Jaden did got help from his Duel Monsters, But they didn't understand human schoolwork. Still, the fact they tried to help meant a lot to Jaden. But as time went, Jaden stopped caring about studying, he only cared about dueling. The Elemental Heroes know that Jaden was only acting out to get his parents' attraction. His parents were forced to be away with their jobs instead listening to him. Soon the brunette boy stopped caring about school altogether. His Duel Monsters understood why he didn't do his studies, but that never stopped them from asking him to do it. Despite that he'll always says that he'll do it later. Which he never does.

At the age of 8

Jaden was in his room playing a new video game that he just brought from the game store. It was about a prince who wasn't aware that he was a prince. This was because when he was a baby, an evil nobleman killed the King and Queen and took over the whole Kingdom. But the Prince's parents sent him to live in the Spirit World. Entrusting the Duel Spirits to raise their son until he was of age. The Prince would grew up not knowing that he was of royalty. It wasn't until he became of age when he was told of his heritage. This was where the game begins, the Prince and his Duel Monsters would fight the fake King in order for the Prince to win back his Kingdom.

Jaden was playing the game for awhile now, but he was supposed to do his homework right now. But he wanted to play this cool game right now. He'll do it later. But for his monsters, now is the right time for it.

"Jaden, please, do your homework?" Elemental Hero Avian said. Despite loving his little Duelist greatly, Avian deeply wished that the boy should study more.

Jaden didn't look up from his game to look at Avian. The game was starting to get good, "I'll do it later, Avian. This game is really awesome," Jaden said.

Avian sigh. Look at the young boy, he quickly went back to the Spirit World. He hopes that Jaden will mature later in his life.

At the age of 11

Jaden look at the cards in his hand, he felt confident that he'll win this Duel in no time. Placing one of the cards on his Duel Disk. "I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman in Attack Mode." He said. Although, he was supposed to study for an upcoming test next week, he decided to do it later. Of course, Sparkman know about this, he didn't Jaden to fall behind the other children. But the boy didn't want to listen. At least, Sparkman could try to tell his Duelist to do his homework.

"Jaden, did you finished your studying?" Sparkman asked.

"I'm planning doing it later, Sparkman," Jaden said with a smile.

Jaden's opponent look kind of confused to see him talking to himself, "Dude, who the heck are you talking to?"

Both Jaden and Sparkman turn back to look at the other Duelist, "Sorry about that. Now then, get your game on," Jaden said as he was ready to Duel.

Sparking sigh. Hopefully Jaden will study later like he promised.

At the age of 13

The Duel between the King of Games Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler went underway. Seeing this two Dueling was something that awesome. From what Jaden heard, these two were also best friends since high school. And that just made this Duel more cool than it already was. But unfortunately for Jaden, he was watching the match at his house instead at the stadium like the other kids that went there with their parents. His father was busy at work like always. But he promised that he'll make it up for Jaden. But Jaden doubted his father's words.

Watching the Duel at home was better than not seeing the Duel at all. But he had an important test tomorrow in the morning. Still, seeing a Duel like this was something that he can't miss. He can do it later. But his Duel Spirits begged to differ.

Elemental Hero Clayman was standing in front of the TV, blocking Jaden's view. But the young brunette could tell that his monster was not happy with him.

"Jaden, stop watching TV and go study for your test tomorrow," Clayman said. Despite his face showing no emotions, the tone of his voice was very serious. Jaden, being raised by Clayman, knew that the monster just wanted him to be successful in life someday. But Jaden was already good at Dueling. So, the boy didn't saw other opportunities for other then Dueling.

"Ok, Clayman. I'll go study," Jaden said, turning off the TV.

Clayman nodded, happy to see that his beloved Duelist finally going to study for a change, "Good. I'm going back to the Spirit World. It's my turn to go on patrol today," Clayman said.

When Clayman disappeared, Jaden quickly turn on the TV back. Happy to see that he miss nothing.

At the age of 15

Being at Duel Academy was something that Jaden ever wanted. He could finally play his favorite card game at school as much as he likes. Although, his Duel Monsters still remind him to at least try to study this time. Saying that high school is different. Jaden knew that.

But with a teacher like Dc. Crowler that hated his guts because the boy beat him during the Entrance Exam, Jaden knew that he was done with his grades. But Jaden stop caring about what teachers thought of him. He was already used to it. But his monsters cared a lot about his studies. All this years, they have become more and more concerned with him not doing any schoolwork. Because they knew that he was smart. The boy was just lazy to do it.

"Jaden, you must learn that your studies are more important than Dueling."

"Just try to do one homework from one class. That's all."

"Please, for us, Jaden. If you're not studying for yourself, do it for us then."

Jaden knew that his monsters cared a lot for him. They simply wanted what was best for him. Even if he didn't care for studying, his monsters just wanted him to be prepared for the adult world. As they know that it was a cruel place for someone like Jaden to be in.

At the age of 16

Since Jaden get his sight back with the help of the Neo Spacians, his Duel Monsters were very happy to have their beloved Duelist back with them. The Elemental Heroes already met the Neo Spacians before. The latter group would usually come by and help put with villains a few times, along with asking them how Jaden doing. The former group would always tell them the usual.

It was good that he had Duel Monsters that love and care about him and his well-being. Unfortunately, that also meant more Duel Monsters telling him to do is his homework. Even the Neo Spacians would tell him that his schoolwork was very important.

"Having an education is more important than anything else in the Human World," Aquos said once.

"Learning is a great weapon. It will give you an upper hand against your enemy, Jaden," Flare Scarab said.

"Come on, kid. Out there, people will eat you alive if you don't know learn anything in school," Dark Panther said gently.

Jaden soon realized that he was began to wonder of his future.

At the age of 17

After defeating Crowler in a Duel that decides if this year's seniors will graduate or not, Jaden was glad that he and his friends will be able to graduate soon. Although, he does love Duel Academy, he knows that it was important to move on. Speaking of moving on, all of the schoolwork that he didn't do was put in front of him. Crowler said that this the only way that he could graduate with his friends.

"Why didn't I listen in class!" Jaden cried. His Duel Monsters were watching close but they won't help him.

"Your fault for not taking your lessons more serious, Jaden," Yubel said.

"Your mess, your problem," The three Hero Kids said at the same time.

"Good luck, Jaden," Lady Heat said.

"You're gonna need," Avian said.

Jaden sigh. He knew that this was their say of "We told you so". He didn't complain. They ended up being right.
