Chapter 2
"Good morning everyone, I hoped that you had a very great evening last night and lots of sleep. Today is your first day of classes so, dig in." Dumbledore announced as food appeared in the Houses' tables. Something was different though, the foods are not the ones that the students are used to eat. Instead, different delicacies of food, mostly Japanese, appeared at the tables. The students blinked and started to dig in some saying compliments and some saying comments – mostly Slytherins -.
"What is this?" Ron asked picking up a sushi with his fork.
"That is sushi Ron. Sushi is Japanese food. It is very healthy and very delicious. It has sometimes raw fish inside of it and you usually dip it in soy sauce." Hermione stated picking up a sushi expertly with chopsticks and dipping it in soy sauce and popping it in her mouth.
"Fish?" Ron asked putting down the sushi and looked at the dumpling soup. "I think I'll have soup instead, you know I hate fish!" Ron exclaimed digging in his soup. "Wow, this is good!" Ron exclaimed.
"Yes it is. But I thought you said you hated fish. Dumpling soup is made out of fish stalk." Ginny queried as she popped another sushi in her mouth.
"What class do we have first today?" Harry asked reverting the conversation. Hermione looked down and looked at the sheet.
"We have Ancient Dueling first! Good thing we don't have Potions first, bad thing is Slytherin is joining us." Hermione answered looking at the Slytherin students in disgust, especially at Draco Malfoy. What she didn't notice is the longing look the Slytherin student sending at Ginny.
Harry, meanwhile, was looking at the new professors. He still couldn't believe it. I mean the professors are the same age as them, then why are they professors already? And what does Professor Tomoyo means when she said 'We're more powerful for our age'? Shaking his head back to reality as he noticed some of the students starting to file out of the Great Hall.
"Have a nice day everyone." Dumbledore said as the food disappeared and all the Professors stood up and headed in there own directions.
"What do you think Ancient Dueling is?" Ginny asked as the group of four headed towards the courtyard on where the class will be held. As they arrived at the courtyard they noticed that all of the Gryffindor students are there already, the Slytherins are nowhere in sight. Syaoron was waiting impatiently tapping his foot on the ground with a scowl on his face. Sakura meanwhile was waiting patiently with her slender hand on Syaoron's shoulder trying to keep him from shouting out. Finally, the Slytherins arrived at the courtyard with an arrogant look on their faces, seeming as though they didn't care if they were late, or to not even show up. Syaoron and Sakura stood up, Syaoron with a scowl on his face.
"Good morning everyone. As you may know, Syaoron...er...Professor Li and I will be teaching Ancient Dueling, a new subject. Since this is a new subject, Professor Li and I don't expect you to get the magic of dueling right away." Sakura started with a smile. Syaoron started to speak up.
"Now, rules first. First of all, no one, and I mean NO ONE is to be late." Syaoron started glaring at the Slytherins, his glare making some of them cower. "Five points off Slytherin for being late. Next, no one is to act superior over others. No one is to make cat calls, only compliments. Lastly, everyone is to try their hardest, no put down either." Syaoron recited still glaring at the Slytherins.
"You know, I think I'm going to like this class." Ginny whispered to the three as all of them nodded.
"Any questions?" Syaoron asked as Hermione raised her hand. "Yes?"
"Well, if it isn't any trouble, can you two please how us a sample of ancient dueling?" Hermione asked shakily, hoping that the professor won't get mad. Syaoron grinned and nodded. Hermione just stared and blinked.
"Sakura, do you want to do it?" Syaoron as he pulled off his onyx pendant and smiled making all the girls swoon. Sakura smiled and nodded and pulled off her Star necklace. "Now class, we will now demonstrate a kind of ancient dueling." Syaoron explained as his onyx pendant turned into his sword making most, and if not all, of the students jump. Syaoron looked around and noticed that somehow they have caught a rather large crowd. All of the professors, including Snape, watched.
"Oh Key of my Star,
With powers burning bright!
Release the Staff,
And shine your light!
Sword!" Sakura chanted as her pendant, too, turned into a sword.
In the large crowd, Tomoyo was videotaping intently as the two fighters and lovers got into their fighting stance.
"Aren't they just so kawaii?" She asked in a whisper. Meiling, Ryu, and Eriol nodded.
"Fire Phoenix! Come to my aid!" Syaoron chanted as he took out an ofuda and hit it with the side of his sword. A spirit of a phoenix made out of fire circled Syaoron's sword making the crowd gasped in awe.
"Watery!" Sakura chanted as the Watery card turned into the spirit, encircled her sword, like Syaoron's. Then they charged at each other. Fire against water was sure something to watch.
"Wow. This ancient dueling is sure something to watch! Fire against water is very entertaining! This duel makes the wizard dueling such a bore!" McGonagall exclaimed watching the fight intently.
"Sakura will win this one this time. The Fire Phoenix is nothing against the Watery card." Eriol stated looking at the fight.
"Windy!" Sakura called as a gust of wind blew, and the spirit of the Windy appeared. The Windy card lifted blew another gust of strong blinding wind making Syaoron drop his sword. The Fire Phoenix's spirit was released and was now floating in the air waiting for a command. "Watery!" Sakura called. The Watery card's spirit appeared and headed straight for the Fire Phoenix. They both charged at each other, but as Eriol said, the Phoenix was nothing compare to the Watery Card. The battle was over as the Phoenix retreated back to the ofuda and dropped to the ground.
"Sakura that was not fair! You used two elemental cards and I only used one!" Syaoron shouted as the Windy card dropped him to the ground, he jumping expertly.
"Hey now! You didn't say ANYTHING about not being able to use more than two or more elements at this duel!" Sakura defended with a slight frown, but her eyes says it all as a mischievous twinkle was see.
Syaoron shook his head and looked at the awed class. "Now, that is an example of an ancient duel." Syaoron said as the bell rang signaling the end of class. "Good bye everyone." The students then filled out of the courtyard entering the school to get ready for their next class.
"Wow! That was bloody cool!" Ron exclaimed as he and his friends and sister entered the castle.
"Yes! I know! I wish I could be as good as them when I grow up!" Ginny exclaimed her eyes twinkling in delight.
