Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing Naruto and Alexis hanging out with both getting to know each other, before moving onto the Promotion Duel with some big changes. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

Naruto looked himself over in the mirror, now being dressed in more casual clothing consisting black shoes, dark blue jeans, a dark blue belt with his deck cases, black shirt and an orange sports jacket.

The reason for the more casual clothing was because it was Sunday, so they didn't have school, with Naruto having gotten ready to go meet with Alexis to hangout.

Sitting in her chair, Blair watched Naruto with annoyed expression, with Mana floating beside her, not that Blair could see her, with a similar expression. Blair was also wearing a casual attire of blue and white sneakers, light blue jeans, a dark yellow shirt, a crimson red vest, and a black and red hat with the Duel Monsters logo on the front. The reason she had a new hat was because her old on had gotten lost after it was blown away during Naruto and Alexis's duel.

Not that Blair was complaining since it did get annoying wearing the large and ugly hat, with her new one still being able to hide her long hair.

"It feels great being back in orange again, maybe I should think of wearing an orange shirt under my jacket." Naruto muttered in thought.

When he first arrived on Earth, his old jumpsuit had been ripped to shreds both from his fight with Sasuke and being thrown through a dimensional rift, it had also been covered in blood, so he had been forced to throw it away.

Yugi had been kind enough to let him use some of his old clothes until he could get his own, and when Naruto had been able to, he had only gotten a few articles of orange clothes since he didn't think he'd be taken seriously as a duelist if he dressed all in orange.

"Well are you ready for your date with Alexis?" Blair asked with some snark in her tone, catching both herself and Naruto off guard.

'What is wrong with me? Why am I getting upset over Naruto going out with Alexis?' Blair thought, while shaking her head.

"Uh, it's not a date, we're just hanging out as friends." Naruto said, while looking at her warily, since given his experience whenever a girl talks to him like that, he usually ends up getting punched.

He then turned his attention to one of his decks on his desk with a frown.

"What is it?" Blair asked, as Naruto picked up the deck and shuffled through the cards.

"Just one of the decks that I'm working on. It's supposed to be a Spellcaster Deck with some Warriors and Dragons as support, but it's still missing a few cards." Naruto answered, before putting it in the case on his belt.

The reason for the deck was because Naruto wanted to create one specifically for Dark Magician Girl, rather than having to switch her between his Elemental Hero and Darkness Decks.

Hearing this made Mana smile. She personally didn't mind Naruto rotating her between his two current decks, as it meant she'd always have a chance to summoned, but he still wanted to create a deck to use her to her full potential.

Unfortunately, she then remembered he was about to go meet Alexis and she sighed in frustration.

'Maybe I need to be more open with my feelings. He still thinks I only see him as a little brother-figure and that I'm just being overprotective. I need to get Naruto to see me in a more romantic light.' Mana thought.

She then shot Blair a dirty look, while Blair might not be able to see it, she could see the girl was starting to develop a crush on Naruto. Meaning she not only had to compete with Alexis, but now she had to compete with the loli, too!

Once Naruto felt that he was ready, he went to leave the room.

"See ya Blair, have fun with Mindy and Jasmine." Naruto said, since the two Obelisk girls having offered to take Blair shopping both for some boyish clothes for her disguise and girly ones as well, for when she finally reveals that she's a girl.

While Jaden, Syrus, and Chumley were having a boys' day/night.

Naruto exited the Slifer Red Dorm with Blair following behind him as they headed for the town on the island. It wasn't anything big, it was built as a place for students to hang out and relax without being confined to their dorms or the Academy's main building.

Once they arrived, they found Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy waiting for them at the entrance, with all three Obelisk girls wearing casual clothes as well. Jasmine and Mindy both wore simple heeled shoes, white jeans, and blue tops.

Alexis, meanwhile, was wearing dark blue boots, dark purple pants that stopped just below her knees, a black tank top, and a pale purple sleeveless jacket, which she left open.

'She looks, really great.' Naruto thought, before waving when they looked over to them.

"Hey Alexis, you look great." Naruto complimented, with Alexis smiling at him.

"Thanks, you look good too." Replied Alexis, with her friends looking at them with giddy expressions, before they each grabbed Blair's arms.

"Well, we'll be going now to get Blair her outfits. Have fun on your date~!" Mindy said teasingly as they ran off with Blair, while Naruto and Alexis blushed at her latter comment.

"It's not a date." They muttered, before looking at each other.

"So, what do you wanna do?" Naruto asked, while feeling nervous, since this is the first time he's ever hung out with a girl alone.

"Well, there's a Music Store and Card Shop we can check out, along with a couple other shops as well." Answered Alexis, while also feeling nervous, given the only guys she's ever really spent time with were her brother and Zane.

"Yeah, that sounds good, let's go." Naruto said smiling, which Alexis returned as they both headed into town.

*Later*

After checking out the Music and Card Shops, they headed to an Anime/Manga Store, the latter of which Naruto has gotten into when he first saw it. Afterwards, they went to a Café for lunch, with Alexis offering to pay, though Naruto tried protesting and was willing to pay himself, but Alexis insisted since she still needed to repay him for saving her life.

The nervousness that they had both originally felt also faded away, and they could both say that they had a great time.

Now that it was getting late into the day, the two decided it was time to head back to their dorms.

"This was really fun, I'm glad we could do it." Naruto said, while smiling at Alexis, which she returned.

"Would that be yes to doing this again?" Alexis asked a little hopefully.

"Definitely." Replied Naruto, only to blink when he caught sight of something, which Alexis noticed.

Turning to where Naruto was looking, Alexis saw Miss Dorothy and her truck outside the Card Shop, and it looked like she was having trouble starting it.

Looking at each other, they both walked over to see if she needed help.

"Do you need any help, Miss Dorothy?" Naruto asked, getting the woman's attention as she smiled when she saw who it was.

"Oh, Naruto and Alexis! Good to see you both, and actually yes, I was just picking up some cards to refill the shop by the Academy. But this old thing seems like it's on its last leg. Even worse, with the Promotion Exams being so close, along with the new shipment of Duel Monster Cards, not to mention the super rare ones that will also arrive, which Seto Kaiba had personally arranged for a personal transport." Dorothy said, worried that her truck would break down before the shipment arrives.

This had Naruto's attention at hearing that a new shipment of cards would be arriving soon.

'Hopefully I'll be able to get some before they're sold out, maybe I'll even find some to complete my Spellcaster Deck.' Naruto thought.

"Well if you want, we can help you get the truck back to the shop." Alexis offered, with Naruto nodding in agreement.

"Thank you both, that'd be a big help." Said Miss Dorothy, while smiling in gratitude.

*Later*

It had taken a while to help Miss Dorothy get the truck back to the Card Shop, but they had eventually managed it.

Now, Naruto and Alexis were walking by the lake, with Naruto having offered to walk her back to the dock where the boats are parked, since he wasn't allowed at the Obelisk Blue Girls' Dorm.

"Today had been really great. I wanted to thank you, Naruto, both for today and again for saving me. I also want to apologize for how I tricked you into dueling me." Alexis said, with Naruto waving it off with a smile.

"Don't worry about it, that was the greatest duel that I've had in a long time. And you don't have to thank me for saving you, I'll always be there to help if you need me." Said Naruto.

That made Alexis smile softly at him, starting to realize how great of a guy Naruto is. Though she blushed when she realized just how close they were to each other and stepped back.

"I-I should b-be getting back now. S-See you Naruto, and good luck on your Exam!" Alexis said, while walking towards the boats that she, Jasmine and Mindy took.

"You too, Alexis!" Said Naruto, while waving to her.

Once she was out of sight, Naruto turned and began heading back to the Slifer Dorm.

*Timeskip - Wednesday*

"WAKE UP!"

"AH!"

*BANG*

"OW!"

Naruto groaned at he rubbed his head after banging it against the top bunk, all while his eye started twitching as the Kyūbi laughed in his head.

One thing Naruto was definitely grateful for after arriving on Earth, was that the Kyūbi has mellowed out over the years. Given the fact that there is no Chakra or Ninja in this world to seal it away again and use the fox as a weapon. Though granted, the Kyūbi didn't go out of its way to talk with Naruto, preferring to remain silent or sleep, with only times it did talk was when something catches its interest or to annoy Naruto, like acting as an internal alarm clock.

Personally, Naruto wasn't sure what was more annoying, being woken up by the Kyūbi or the sun.

Shaking his head, Naruto looked and saw Blair still asleep, allowing Naruto the chance to get dressed in his uniform.

"Hey Blair, wake up, the Promotion Exams are today." Naruto said, shaking the girl awake once he finished getting changed.

"Hm, oh yeah, the Promotion Exams, thanks for waking me, Naruto." Blair said, rubbing her eyes with a yawn.

Nodding, Naruto exited the room to let Blair get changed. A few moments later, Blair exited the room in her boy disguise, and they went to get some breakfast before heading to the Academy.

Arriving at the classroom, they gulped nervously when they saw Banner was the professor overseeing the Written Portion of the Exams. Thankfully, they hadn't started yet and didn't have to worry about setting Banner off.

"Alright students, you all have an hour to finish your tests and you may now begin." Banner said, before the door suddenly barged open and Syrus ran in.

"Phew, made it!" Syrus said relieved.

"Syrus." Banner said with a strained smile, making Syrus pale when he saw Banner.

"Uh-uh, Pr-Professor Banner, sir, I-"

"Hey Sy, glad I caught up with you. Though I was held back helping Miss Dorothy with her-"

"Jaden." Banner said as his eye started twitching, with Jaden freezing in fear at seeing the big red flag, or in this case, big green flag.

Thankfully, to the relief of the entire class, Banner didn't get angry.

"Both of you, please take your seats, now." Banner said, smiling tightly.

Nodding rapidly, both Slifers quickly took their seats, not wanting to risk another Hulk incident.

*Later*

"Alright class, the Written Exam is now over. So, please walk, do not run, to get in line for today's new rare cards." Banner said.

"They're here?!"

Immediately, the students raved and rushed out of the classroom to be the first ones in line for the new cards. Unfortunately, in their rush, they ended up making a mess of the classroom, which caused Banner's eyes to start twitching, while releasing a few angry grunts.

"I said. Walk. Do. Not. Run. Now, you've wrecked the classroom!" Banner said, before he transformed again with a roar.

*CRASH*

"SMASH STUDENTS!"

Once Hulk-Banner was gone, Naruto, Blair, Bastion, Alexis and Chazz poke their heads out from under their desks and saw the massive hole in the wall, where Hulk-Banner smashed through. They knew that would happen immediately after all the other students ran out, rather than following instructions, and become targets of Banner's anger. So they did the smart thing and waited for him to chase after the others.

"Hey Bastion, you mind waking up the sleeping beauties, while we go check out the rare cards?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, I can do that." Bastion answered, since he had no desire to get any rare cards, as his decks were already perfectly organized.

Plus, he had no desire to be caught up in another rampage.

Nodding in thanks, Naruto, Blair, and Alexis left the classroom, with Chazz following after them. Normally, Chazz would have stayed to look over his test and sent his lackeys to get him the rare cards, but after his loss against Jaden, they abandoned him. So he couldn't look his test over without the risk of missing out on some rare cards.

Thankfully, when they arrived at the Card Shop, none of the other students were there, meaning they were still being chased by Banner.

"Hey Sadie, where are the rare cards?" Naruto asked, since he didn't see any of the new packs.

"Sorry, we're all sold out. An anonymous buyer showed up and bought them all." Sadie said apologetically.

"Just great." Chazz muttered as he exited the shop, angry at losing out on getting even a single rare card.

'Someone bought every card?' Naruto thought, wondering who could have gotten here early enough to but all the rare cards.

Not long after, Jaden and Syrus arrived and were filled in on what happen, both relieved that they didn't get caught up in Banner's rampage and disappointed at not getting any rare cards.

"Not so fast, you kids. I have some Booster Packs and rare cards right here, that I managed to save." Dorothy said, coming out the back.

"Really?!" They asked in excitement.

"Yep, and here they are as thanks for the help you three gave me." Said Dorothy, while handing them to Naruto, Alexis, and Jaden, who thanked her.

Opening the packs, the three looked over the cards, while trading a few of the ones that fit better in the others' decks, along with giving the rest to Blair and Syrus, much to their gratitude.

Naruto was especially happy, as he pulled out his Spellcaster deck and added the cards he had to it.

'These are perfect, now my Spellcaster deck is complete.' Naruto thought in excitement.

Even better, he'll get to use it for the Promotion Exam as well.

*With Chazz*

"First I lose to that Slifer Slacker in front of the entire school, costing me my lackeys and my reputation, now I've missed out on getting any rare cards because some loser bought them all." Chazz said angrily.

"Oh, what's this about rare cards?" Said a familiar voice, getting Chazz's attention.

Looking up a set of stairs, Chazz raised a brow when he saw a guy wearing a cloak and hat. This would have set Chazz on edge at this stranger's appearance, if not for the fact it was a pretty terrible disguise.

"Mid-Boss, what're you doing?" Chazz questioned, while wondering what was up with the outfit.

"MY NAME IS NOT…Ahem. I mean, who is this Mid-Boss?" Crowler said, after taking a moment to calm himself.

"You're Mid-Boss. And what's with the get up, isn't it a little early for Duel Monster's Spirit Day?" Chazz asked, as Crowler got annoyed and threw his hat off.

"Alright, that's it! Look, I'm the one who bought all the rare cards, see!" Crowler said, opening his cloak and revealing several rows of cards.

"The rare cards!" Chazz said, surprised to see them.

"That's right, and they're all yours Chazz, as long as you use them to duel against Naruto." Crowler said.

"Uzumaki? No way, if I'm dueling any Slifer, it'll be Jaden Yuki." Chazz said, more than happy to use the cards to beat Jaden.

"Ah, but why settle for a Slacker, when you could defeat the King of Game's student? That alone will boost your reputation to new heights and make everyone forget your loss against Jaden." Crowler said, with Chazz nodding in agreement, since that would be better than getting payback against Jaden.

"Only one problem, we're still in different dorms. So, I couldn't duel him." Chazz said, seeing a major flaw with that plan.

"Leave that to me, I can arrange it so you and Naruto will face each other in the Promotion Duel. So, what do you say Chazz?" Crowler said.

"Hmph, alright, you got yourself a deal Mid-Boss." Said Chazz smirking.

"Call me that again, and I'll find someone else to give the cards to!" Crowler threatened with a scowl.

"Shutting up now." Chazz said, before looking over the cards Crowler gave him.

He only saw a few he really liked, and smirked. Knowing that with these, he'll beat Naruto and then move onto Jaden.

*Later*

"So, I'm dueling Chazz, huh?" Naruto asked frowning.

"That's right, Naruto. After all, I'm sure anything less wouldn't be a challenge, so I pulled some strings to give you a proper challenge." Said Crowler with a smirk, only for it to vanish at Naruto's next words.

"Well, you're the head of the Obelisk Dorm and I beat you Mid-Boss. So yeah, this might be a step up." Naruto said smirking, as Crowler fumed, while Chazz pushed down his laughter.

"Just start the duel already!" Crowler said through gritted teeth.

"I hope you're ready to lose Uzumaki, because my decks gotten an upgrade since my duel against the Slacker." Chazz said smirking.

"Oh, how ironic, because I'm using a new deck as well. Tell me what you think as my monsters take you down." Retorted Naruto, while mentally laughing as he couldn't wait to see the looks on everyone's faces when they see some of the cards in his Spellcaster Deck.

"DUEL!"

Naruto-4000

Chazz-4000

"My move! And I'll start by activating Double Summon!" Naruto said, while playing the Spell Card.

Double Summon

Card Type: Normal Spell.

Effect: You can Normal Summon 1 additional time this turn. You can only gain this effect once per turn.

"Now I summon both Skilled Dark Magician and Skilled White Magician onto the field in ATK mode." Said Naruto as he summoned the two Magicians, with them being cladded in black and white, respectively.

Skilled Dark Magician

Attribute: Dark

Level: 4

Card Type: Effect Monster.

Monster Type: Spellcaster

Effect: Each time a Spell Card is activated, place 1 Spell Counter on this card when that Spell resolves (max. 3). You can Tribute this card with 3 Spell Counters on it; Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" from your hand, Deck, or GY.

ATK/1900 DEF/1700

Skilled White Magician

Attribute: Light

Level: 4

Card Type: Effect Monster.

Monster Type: Spellcaster

Effect: Each time a Spell Card is activated, place 1 Spell Counter on this card when that Spell Card resolves (max. 3). You can Tribute this card with 3 Spell Counters on it; Special Summon 1 "Buster Blader" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard.

ATK/1700 DEF/1900

"Now, I place one card face down and end my turn." Naruto said, while setting a card face down.

"Alright, I draw! Now I activate the card I just drew, Magical Mallet, to send it and four cards back to my deck, where I'll then shuffle it and draw the same number of cards I sent back." Chazz said, sending five cards back into his deck.

Magical Mallet

Card Type: Normal Spell.

Effect: Add this card and any number of cards from your hand to the Deck and shuffle it. Then draw the same number of cards you added to the Deck.

Drawing five cards, Chazz smirked, only to frown when he saw both of Naruto's Magicians had a glowing orb on their left shoulders.

"What the?" Chazz muttered, while Naruto smirked.

"You activated my Magician's abilities. You see, whenever a Spell Card is activated, they each gain a Spell Counter. And when they get three, well I'll leave that as a surprise." Said Naruto, while keeping quiet on the last part of their effects to mess with Chazz.

Skilled Dark Magician: Counters: 1

Skilled White Magician: Counters: 1

This made Chazz mentally curse as he looked at his hand. He drew Magical Mallet again and could use it, but then those Magician's would gain another Spell Counter, and something told Chazz he didn't want them to get to three. Especially when one was called Skilled Dark Magician.

But at the same time, he could summon a powerful monster instead of taking a risk by having to use a Spell Card. In the end, he had to decided that it'd be worth it to summon a powerful card, rather than risking the chance of those Magicians getting closer to three Counters.

'Ah screw it.' Chazz thought

"I play my own Double Summon Spell Card!" Chazz said as another orb lit up on Skilled Dark Magician and Skilled White Magician.

Skilled Dark Magician: Counters: 2

Skilled White Magician: Counters: 2

"That's another Counter." Naruto stated, smirking as he now just needed one more.

"Yeah well they won't be sticking around long enough for that to happen. I summon Chthonian Soldier!" Chazz said as his soldier appeared.

Chthonian Soldier

Attribute: Dark

Level: 4

Card Type: Effect Monster.

Monster Type: Warrior

Effect: When this monster is destroyed, your opponent takes any Battle Damage you took from that battle.

ATK/1200 DEF/1400

"And now I tribute my soldier, to bring forth Chthonian Emperor Dragon!" Chazz declared as his Chthonian Soldier vanished with the Chthonian Emperor Dragon appearing in its place.

Chthonian Emperor Dragon

Attribute: Dark

Level: 6

Card Type: Gemini Monster.

Monster Type: Dragon

Effect: This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it be treated as an Effect Monster with this effect:

This card can attack twice during the same Battle Phase.

ATK/2400 DEF/1500

"And with that I'll put two cards face down and end my turn." Chazz said, placing two cards on the field.

He would have tried attacking, but he wasn't going to risk losing his Emperor Dragon from the face down Naruto had. Chazz may be confident he'll win with the cards Crowler gave him, but he wasn't going to underestimate Naruto and this new deck he has.

"Alright, my move!" Naruto said, drawing his card.

"First, I play the Spell Card, Pot of Greed, to draw two cards. Along with adding a third Counter to my Magicians." Said Naruto.

Pot of Greed

Card Type: Normal Spell.

Effect: Draw 2 cards from your Deck.

Skilled Dark Magician: Counters: 3

Skilled White Magician: Counters: 3

"The stage is now set Chazz, I hope you're ready." Naruto said with a smirk, which had Chazz nervous of what he's about to do.

"Now first, I'm going to activate my Skilled White Magician's ability; because he has three Spell Counters, I get to tribute him in order to summon forth, the legendary dragon slayer, Buster Blader!" Naruto said, much to everyone's shock as Skilled White Magician glowed brightly, before transforming into Buster Blader.

Buster Blader

Attribute: Earth

Level: 7

Card Type: Effect Monster.

Monster Type: Warrior

Effect: Increase the ATK of this card by 500 points for each Dragon-Type monster on your opponent's side of the field and in your opponent's Graveyard.

ATK/2600 DEF/2300

"What?! Buster Blader!" Chazz said, shocked at seeing one of the King of Game's Ace Monsters.

"That's right, and because you have a Dragon-Type Monster on the field, my Blader gains five hundred ATK points." Said Naruto as Buster Blader grew stronger.

Buster Blader: ATK/2600 DEF/2300 – ATK/3100 DEF/2300

"But that's not all, now I'm activating Skilled Dark Magician's affect as well! Allowing me to tribute him to bring out an even stronger monster!" Naruto said, with Chazz's eyes widening in shock as realization hit him.

If Skilled White Magician brought out Buster Blader, then that means Skilled Dark Magician will bring out…!

"I tribute Skilled Dark Magician to summon the master of magic, the Dark Magician!" Said Naruto, which shocked everyone to their very core at the chance of seeing, in person, the King of Games true Ace and strongest monster.

Skilled Dark Magician crossed his arm in an X fashion as a magic ring appeared beneath him, before it lifted up and began transforming him into the legendary magician. Though the Dark Magician that Naruto summoned had a different color scheme, instead of the dark blue robes and light blue skin, this Dark Magician wore dark crimson red robes with gold trimming, had silver hair, and tanned skin.

Dark Magician

Attribute: Dark

Level: 7

Card Type: Normal Monster.

Monster Type: Spellcaster

Card Text: The ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense.

ATK/2500 DEF/2100

Despite not looking the same, everyone cheered at seeing the legendary card, even more so than when Naruto first summoned Dark Magician Girl!

All except Chazz, who was the one unfortunate enough to be facing down these two legendary cards.

"Ho-how? Only the King of Games has that card." Chazz said, shocked and afraid to see the Dark Magician.

"True, Yugi still has the Dark Magician. This version though was owned by a duelist he had beaten during the Battle City Tournament, and as per the rules of Battle City, Yugi got their best card, this Dark Magician. Which Yugi, then in turn, passed on to me." Naruto said.

Yugi had received two copies of this particular Dark Magician from Arkana, both as a thank you for saving his life, and because he wasn't able to give Yugi his best card after their duel. Arkana had mailed them to Yugi, after reuniting with his now wife, Catherine, and getting help for his mental issues. Yugi had sent them to Naruto as a congratulations for getting into Duel Academy, given he was fine with his own Dark Magician.

Though he first had Pegasus fix them of their illegal trimming.

"I activate Threatening Roar!" Chazz said, while quickly activating his Trap Card.

Threatening Roar

Card Type: Normal Trap.

Effect: Your opponent cannot declare an attack this turn.

Chazz sighed in relief that he was safe from being attacked by these powerful monsters, at least for this turn.

"Okay, you're safe for now." Naruto said, ending his turn.

"Alright, I draw!" Chazz said, mentally praying he drew a card he could use.

"First I'm activating Magical Mallet again to send it and two other cards to my deck, and then draw three new cards." Chazz said, relieved when he saw the cards he drew.

"Now I summon to the field X-Head Cannon!" Chazz said as the Machine Monster appeared.

X-Head Cannon

Attribute: Light

Level: 4

Card Type: Normal Monster.

Monster Type: Machine

Card Text: A monster with a mighty cannon barrel, it is able to integrate its attacks. It attacks in many ways by combining and separating with other monsters.

ATK/1800 DEF/1500

"And I activate my face down Frontline Base to summon Z-Metal Tank!" Chazz said, before summoning his second Machine Monster.

Z-Metal Tank

Attribute: Light

Level: 4

Card Type: Effect Monster.

Monster Type: Machine/Union

Effect: Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 "X-Head Cannon" or "Y-Dragon Head" you control; equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it. A monster equipped with this card gains 600 ATK/DEF, also if the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, destroy this card instead.

ATK/1500 DEF/1300

"Now, I combine X-Head Cannon with Z-Metal Tank to summon XZ-Tank Cannon!" Chazz said, as the two Machine Monsters combined together.

XZ-Tank Cannon

Attribute: Light

Level: 6

Card Type: Effect Monster.

Monster Type: Machine/Fusion

Effect: Must first be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by banishing the above cards you control. (You do not use "Polymerization".) Cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. You can discard 1 card, then target 1 face-down Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls; destroy that target.

ATK/2400 DEF/2100

"Now, I use my Tank Cannon's ability; by discarding one card, I get destroy one face down Spell or Trap Card! Go Tank Cannon, destroy his face down!" Chazz commanded.

XZ-Tank Cannon aimed its guns at Naruto's face down and open fired destroying it.

"You may have destroyed my face down, but you forget, I still have two monsters on the field. Both of them being stronger than yours." Naruto reminded, with Buster Blader and Dark Magician standing in front of him, while staring down Chazz and his monsters.

"Maybe, but let's see how good they are when I play this! Swords of Revealing Light!" Chazz said, playing his spell Card, as swords of light fell down around Naruto and his monsters.

Swords of Revealing Light

Card Type: Normal Spell.

Effect: After this card's activation, it remains on the field, but destroy it during the End Phase of your opponent's 3rd turn. When this card is activated: If your opponent controls a face-down monster, flip all monsters they control face-up. While this card is face-up on the field, your opponent's monsters cannot declare an attack.

"Now, you can't attack for three of your turns." Chazz said, relieved he was able to buy himself some time to bring out the rest of his VWXYZ Monsters.

"Tsk, my move!" Naruto said, drawing his card, annoyed he couldn't attack.

"Now I activate Card of Sanctity, allowing us both to draw until we have six cards." Naruto said as he played the spell card.

Card of Sanctity

Card Type: Normal Spell.

Effect: Each player draws until they have 6 cards in their hand.

"Hmph, thanks for the cards, Slacker." Chazz said, after seeing that he now had more Machines to summon next turn.

"I wouldn't be thanking me so soon, if I were you. Because I'm activating the Spell Card, Bond Between Teacher and Student!"

Bond Between Teacher and Student

Card Type: Normal Spell.

Effect: If you control "Dark Magician": Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician Girl" from your hand, Deck, or GY, then you can Set 1 "Dark Magic Attack", "Dark Burning Attack", "Dark Burning Magic", or "Dark Magic Twin Burst" directly from your Deck. You can only activate 1 "Bond Between Teacher and Student" per turn.

"With Dark Magician out on the field, I get bring out his prized student as well, come forth Dark Magician Girl!" Naruto said as Dark Magician Girl appeared on the field beside her master, with both Magicians nodding to each other.

Dark Magician Girl

"And because I activated Bond Between Teacher and Student, I now get to set Dark Magic Attack from my deck straight to the field, which I will now activate! Dark Magician, destroy Swords of Revealing Light!" Naruto said.

Dark Magic Attack

Card Type: Normal Spell.

Effect: If you control "Dark Magician": Destroy all Spells and Traps your opponent controls.

Dark Magician swung his staff, releasing a blast of magic as the swords of light were destroyed, along with Frontline Base.

"Oh no!" Chazz exclaimed, seeing that he was now wide open.

"Oh yes! Now I'm using the Spell Card Polymerization to fuse Dark Magician Girl with the Red-Eyes Black Dragon in my hand, to fusion summon Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight!" Naruto said, as Red-Eyes Black Dragon appeared, while Dark Magician Girls robes and wand changed into armor and a sword, before jumping into the air and she mounted Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

Card Type: Effect Monster.

Monster Type: Dragon/Fusion

ATK/2600 DEF/1700

"You have Red-Eyes Black Dragon, too?!" Chazz said, shocked that he not only had Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, but the Red-Eyes Black Dragon as well.

He was also seeing just how outclassed he was in this duel.

"That's right! And I'm going to use my Dragon Knight's ability; by sending one card to the graveyard, she gets to destroy one face-up card on the field, and I choose XZ-Tank Cannon!" Naruto said.

Dark Magician Girl held up her sword, before swinging it at Tank Cannon, before releasing a wave of magic at it, destroying the Fusion Monster.

"Now Buster Blader, destroy Chthonian Emperor Dragon with Destruction Sword Flash!" Naruto commanded, with Buster Blader charging forward and leapt into the air, before swinging his sword down on Chazz's dragon, destroying it.

Chazz-4000 – 700 = 3300

"Dark Magician attack him directly! Dark Magic Attack!" Said Naruto

Twirling his staff, Dark Magician flew in front of Chazz, before unleashing a blast of magic.

Chazz-3400 – 2500 = 900

"Now Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight, end this with Black Dragon Burst!" Naruto said.

Both Dark Magician Girl and Red-Eyes Black Dragon unleashed a combined blast of magic and fire at Chazz, wiping out the rest of his life points.

Chazz-900 – 2600 = -1700

"GAH!" Chazz cried out as he was thrown back from the attacks.

Meanwhile, the students cheered at seeing the amazing duel and seeing so many legendary monsters.

"Well done Naruto!" Sheppard said over the intercom.

"Never before in the history of Duel Academy has a Slifer bested an Obelisk in such a way. You not only held your own but was able to outmaneuver Chazz's monsters and traps. It is with great pride I grant you the promotion from Slifer Red to Ra Yellow!" Sheppard said proudly.

This made the students cheer for Naruto, the Ra Yellows especially at now having the King of Games student in their dorm.

"I'd also like to inform the students that we have successfully detained Professor Banner and he will be contained until he calms down." Sheppard added, much to the relief of everyone.

*SMASH*

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! SMASH MESSY STUDENTS!"

"…A-a-ah m-my mis-mistake. H-he se-seems to h-have escaped. Pl-please w-walk, do-don't run, to th-the n-n-nearest ex-exit." Sheppard stuttered with his face now a deathly pale, while his eyes were wide with fear.

"SMASH MID-BOSS, TOO!"

Hearing this, Crowler immediately ran out of the Observation Deck with a scream, triggering the students to run out of the arena, as well. All while a loud girlish shriek was heard, followed by several crashes.

*Later*

*Slifer Dorm*

"Thanks again for letting me bunk with you guys." Blair said to Jaden and Syrus in the latter two's room.

"Hey, no problem, with Naruto and Chumley being promoted to Ra Yellow, we all need new roommates." Jaden said, as with all the help they've given Chumley, and the fact that he was putting his all in dueling again, he was able to win his Promotion Duel and advance to Ra Yellow also.

"Yeah." Blair muttered sadly.

"Hey, what's wrong Blair?" Syrus asked.

"It's nothing, I'm fine." Answered Blair, all while wondering why she was so upset over Naruto leaving to go to the Ra Yellow Dorm.

'Then again, he has been really nice to me and been a great friend, along with keeping my secret.' Blair thought, figuring that's why she's upset.

There was a knock at the door before it opened, showing Naruto in his new Ra Yellow uniform.

"Hey, I just wanted to see how you were doing." Said Naruto, while looking at Blair.

"I'm-I'm good. You look good in the new uniform, though I'm sure it won't be long before y-you're we-wearing b-blue." Blair said shakily at the end, since Naruto would just be another rank above her, and farther away from her as well.

"Yeah, I suppose. Though I don't think it's really my color." Naruto said, while looking at the yellow blazer, before looking at Blair.

"Listen Blair, I just want you to know, I'm really glad to have met you and got to be your friend. I also know you'll grow to become an incredible duelist. I also know that no matter what Dorms we're in, we'll always be friends." Naruto said, while smiling at the younger girl.

Blair felt tears in her eyes at his words and lowered her hat to cover her eyes. The same hat that Naruto had gotten for her, after she lost her old one.

"Ye-yeah. Yo-you're r-right." Blair stuttered, while fighting back her

"Great, now let's go." Naruto said, much to her confusion.

"G-go? Go where?" Blair asked, with Naruto smiling at her.

"Our room, you know, just at the end of the walkway." Said Naruto, with Blair's eyes widening at his words.

"Wh-what?" Asked Blair.

"I worked it out with Chancellor Sheppard, and I'm being allowed to stay in the Slifer Dorm." Naruto revealed.

Hearing this, Blair lifted her hat up and looked at him with wide shocked eyes.

"You-you turned down going to the Ra Dorm? Why?" Blair asked only to blink, when Naruto poked her forehead with his index and middle finger.

"You, of course." Naruto answered, while smiling at her.

"M-me?" Blair stuttered while blushing, as Naruto nodded.

Hearing that she was the reason he was choosing to stay in the Slifer Dorm, it made her heart lighten up. Though Blair didn't understand the reason for this, she didn't care at the moment, only caring that Naruto was staying!

Her tears changing from sadness to joy, Blair hugged Naruto tightly, happy that he was staying, with Naruto smiling and returning the hug.

Meanwhile, Jaden and Syrus cried anime tears at the happy scene, happy for their friends and that Naruto was sticking around.

*Ra Dorm*

Chumley looked around his new room in the Ra Yellow Dorm, satisfied that he managed to finish getting settled in.

He was still shocked that he passed the Written Exam and won his Promotion Duel, even more so that he was promoted to Ra Yellow! He had basically given up on the chance of advancing in rank, but here he is wearing yellow.

Chumley then heard his PDA ring and answered it, only to be surprised when he saw that it was his father.

"Uh, hey dad." Chumley greeted awkwardly, since his dad always wanted him to stay home and help run his Sake Business.

"Hey Chumley, I was just calling to… I wanted to… I just heard you were promoted at the Academy and I wanted to call and say… that I'm proud of you, son." Said Mr. Huffington, much to Chumley's surprise and happiness.

"Re-really?" Chumley asked, his dad nodding.

"Yeah, I had been considering coming there to bring you home, if you hadn't improved. But now, I see that's no longer needed. You're becoming your own man, Chumley, as well as a great duelist, and I'm happy for you! I'm also sure you've made some great friends at Duel Academy!" Said Mr. Huffington, while Chumley smiled with tearful eyes, before looking out the window.

"Yeah, yeah I really have. I can tell you more when I come home for winter break, dad." Chumley said as he looked towards the Slifer Dorm, since his room had a great view of his old dorm.

*Slifer Dorm*

"To Naruto getting promoted to Ra Yellow!" Jaden said as the three Slifers and the newly promoted Ra clinked their glasses together.

Naruto, Jaden, and Syrus all smiled with flushed expressions, Naruto's being less intense thanks to his healing factor. The reason being that Naruto had managed to sneak in some bottles of Sake. Syrus at first had been hesitant, since they were still underage, but Naruto and Jaden managed to convince him eventually.

Blair was currently clinging to Naruto's side with her eyes closed and sporting a small smile, while also having a blush on her face as well, showing she was taking part in the drinking, too. Her excitement and happiness of Naruto staying her roommate making her throw caution out the window. Though there was also another reason she for her blush and happiness, she just doesn't know it yet.

'Humans and their mating rituals.' Kyūbi thought, while rolling its eyes before going to sleep.

So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruto has created a new Spellcaster Deck focusing on Dark Magician Girl, Buster Blader, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, and the Dark Magician! Though rather than Yugi giving Naruto his Dark Magician, he instead gave Naruto the Dark Magician cards previously owned by Arkana, who sent them to Yugi as thanks for saving his life and because Yugi had beaten him during Battle City. Not only that but Chazz used some different cards rather than just the VWXYZ cards, though he was still defeated in the end. Finally Naruto was promoted to Ra Yellow but chose to stay in the Slifer Dorm because of Blair, not because of romantic love but more a brotherly love, Chumley also was promoted to Ra Yellow thanks to the encouragement from his friends and getting back into the game. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
