Shini then saw the stage. One on one match, and it decided where he would be located at. He took a deep breath, knowing only a rampage of the teacher's deck and life points would do him any good. He looked at his deck again, and then saw the two dueling disks in the center.

"Mr. Laser, take the one on the left side, put your deck in it, and get ready to duel," the teacher said, looking over. "I am just hoping you are not one who comes here just with a dream and not a hope."

"Trust me, I might have to play on luck at times, but skill is my game. Fire might come to my eyes, but water will douse it out," Shini said.

Obviously, the teacher didn't get the hint of Shini's power by how he didn't respond. All they did was pick up the dueling disks, and entered the ring.

"Welcome everyone of the Dueling Academy! New student Shini Laser is facing off against Professor Blaze!" the announcer yelled, and the students did their normal cheer.

Shini closed his eyes, trying to ignore it. A coin toss decided Shini had to go first.

Hearing the news, Shini just simply looked at the teacher. "Well, sir, I set one monster and set a trap end my turn."

The teacher looked at him. "One monster with hardly any defense? Well, you are a brave fool," he commented. Even with the insult, though, Shini didn't change his emotion nor say anything. "Fine then. I shall summon Gemini Elf, having 1900 attack and 900 defense, and attack your set monster," he called out.

Shini grinned. "Sakuretsu Armor," he said, flipping the trap up. "Bye bye."

The image of the Gemini Elf was destroyed, but the teacher laughed. "Oh wow. One monster destroyed. Well, Main Phase 2 I enter. Since I have no monsters on my side of the field, I can Special Summon Cyber Dragon, having 2100 attack and 1500 defense. With that happening, and since I can not battle again, I just set 3 cards and put Axe of Despair on Cyber Dragon. End," he said.

Shini looked at the monster, noting it had 3100 ATK points. "Just curious, sir, what do you think the set monster is?" he asked, looking into his eyes.

"Don't play games, Mr. Laser. Just move," he said coldly.

"Why not play games? I am a riddle inside itself," Shini grinned. "Okay, okay. Well, Heavy Storm, to destroy all your trap cards."

"Not just yet. Fake Trap, not destroying any of my cards," the teacher activated, looking at him.

"Okay. So I need to beat 3100? Well, I can't do that just yet. I'll set two cards and end," Shini said, looking at the teacher.

"Hm . . . . Well, I have nothing to play, so attack that face down monster again!" the teacher yelled.

"Silly teacher. Draining Shield," Shini grinned, gaining the 3100 ATK points as life points and the attack being negated.

"Damn it. Okay. Want to know my solution? Dust Tornado on the other trap," he said.

Shini laughed. "It wasn't even a trap. Big Wave Small Wave it was."

"Fine then. End," he said grimly.

Shini looked at the field. "One monster and one monster, zero on the field to three on the field, 7100 to 4000. Sounds like someone has an advantage," Shini nodded. "So, I play A Legendary Ocean."

"Okay. Go on," the teacher said, stating he had nothing to resolve the card.

"Right. Now I flip over Magician of Faith to return Big Wave Small Wave to my hand," Shini nodded.

The teacher glared. "Fine then. What is next, Laser?" he asked.

"I go and summon Space Mambo," Shini said towards the teacher.

"Trap Hole," the teacher said with a grin on his face.

"So? Premature Burial," he grinned, getting Space Mambo back on the field.

"Damn. Go on," he said.

"Big Wave Small Wave," he nodded. "So, with Space Mambo being destroyed, I can Special Summon Levia-Dragon - Daedalus, having normally 2600 attack and 1500 defense, but with A Legendary Ocean, it has 2800 and 1700," Shini said.

"Even if you destroy the field, I won't let you attack," he said.

"So you have Scapegoat? Oh. Perfect reason now. I tribute Levia-Dragon - Daedalus to special summon Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus, having 2900 attack and 1600 normally, 3100 and 1800 with bonus," Shini grinned.

As soon as the new monster came out, filling up the whole field, the students were looking at it like it was a new star. "Oh gods . . . . ." the teacher said.

"Better pray to them. I discard A Legendary Ocean to destroy the field and both hands except for Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus," Shini grinned. Before, there were dozen orf cards going around. Now, just that one monster stood. "So, Neo-Daedalus, attack his life points directly!"

When the flood hit the teacher, he was now the 13 to 2 underdog. He drew his next card. Only hope of surviving. "Reversal Quiz!" he called out, which everyone watched, wondering if it is a success or failure. The teacher thought about it a bit, and then called out, "Trap." He looked at the top card of his deck according to the effect. Magic, it was.

"Game over, Blaze," Shini nodded.

The teacher nodded and took a deep breath. "Good try on my part."

Shini nodded. "So, what is the grade for me and my position?" he asked, looking at his deck.

For a few split seconds, the room was completely silent. "Obviously, the red team isn't for you . . . . So Ra or Obelisk . . . . ." he mumbled to himself.

"Yellow or Blue . . . . Hm . . . . ." Shini wondered to himself.

"You know what, let's see how you do with the A-team," the teacher smiled.

Shini smiled back, knowing Obelisk was on his side right now. He wasn't sure what was going to go on, but he hoped someone would give him a challenge, one day or another. Of course, he always wanted to face a Blue-Eyes White Dragon or something of that nature and beat the person just to say he got to get past the best of the best.
