He flew through the written exam, and was preparing to enter the field exam area. With little to no confidence he would win, he set out into the duel arena hoping his new deck strategy would win.

"I begin my turn, by drawing one card and activating Two-Man Cell Battle. Then I summon a card in face-down defense mode to end my turn. During my end phase, I get to summon a level four normal monster, and I select Gemini Elf.

"Fine then, I play heavy storm, destroying your face-down card and your cell battle. Then I summon Berserk Gorilla. Next, I attack your elf dealing one-hundred total damage. Your turn."

"I Draw, and flip Dummy Golem face-up. This card now switches places with one of your cards, and the only one that you have is your berserk gorilla. So now, I summon a Dark Jeroid, making your monsters attack 0. Then I Equip Jeroid with Dual Rifle Rockets with Rounds. It makes my monsters attack equal to your lowest monsters attack, but then any monsters that are destroyed in a battle involving this card, deal damage to your life-points equal to their original attack. However, my Jeroid will be removed from play at the end of the turn. But still, I can beat you this turn anyway. Jeroid attacks Dummy Golem, dealing a total 2,000 damage to you because of dual rockets, and berserk gorilla hits you for another 2,000 points ending the game."

"There is no way that you beat me, and where did you get that card? I have never heard of it…"

"When I was 10 years old, I won a make you're own card contest, and so I have this one of a kind card."

"No one is allowed to use cards like that, I am confiscating it." The teacher walked up and ripped up the card. "You should know fake cards are banned."

"But it wasn't fake, I won Pegasus's contest…"

"O, so you are Ben… I see… sorry for that…"

"Don't worry; I had 5 copies made, just for something like this. And my name isn't really Ben, but I can't tell you what it really is."

Ben, as most people then knew him as, was given the Ra Yellow blazer. This was a proud mark, as none of the others taking the exam got past Slifer Red except for himself.

Reconstructing his deck, it was possible for him to face-up tougher opponents. His 2 turn kill strategy would probably not work against different opponents.

"Hey You!" screamed and obnoxious sounding kid slightly shorter than himself, "I want to duel you to see where I stack up. Apparently, you're the top of the new pickings."

"Fine, just don't be disappointed when I beat you." Ben replied to the duelist.

"I start by summoning Goblin Elite Attack Force in attack mode, and 1 face-down. Go ahead."

"Fine, I play Mech Dog Marron in defense mode, and lay two cards face-down."

"I draw, and I attack mech dog with my newly summoned Vanguard of Dark World."

"My Mech Dog's effect activates, taking 2000 life points from you, and 1000 from me."

"Fine, my Elite Force will still crush your life points."

"But not if I activate a face-down Hallowed Life Barrier. And I discard Roc from the valley of Haze. So he gets shuffled back into my deck."

"Alright, so I won't attack. Make your move."

"I draw, and set 3 cards then activate Mirage of Nightmare. I believe you are familiar with its effect. Then I play the last card in my hand in face-down defensive mode."

"Fine, I draw."

"As do I."

"And activate Ultimate Offering. Next, I play Graceful Charity. And finally, Summon Mobius, the Frost Monarch. Then I use my cards effect to summon Zaborg, the Thunder monarch. With Metamorphosis I can summon Dark Balter, the Terrible! So, I attack you with Vanguard…"

"I play Waboku to stop your attacks…"

"Go Ahead then…"

"Fine, I draw, and I discard… and I play Scapegoat. Make your move."

"Great, I draw; activate Dark Hole, and Premature Burial. Next Balter Attacks you for 2,000 damage. I end my turn."

Alright, I play Bazoo the Soul Eater, and remove 2 Monsters from play to boost his attack power."

"I activate Balter's Effect, so I am down to 200 Life."

"Argh, I end my turn…"

"I attack for the win. Looks like the new pickings aren't so great after all…"

Thanks for the review, from now on I will refer to Him as Ben just for sake of writing in the first person. I will mostly be suing indirect characterization, for A.S.S1 to know, so its not that I don't describe anything, its done purposefully.
