Author's note: This is what I think Duel Academy looks like. Chazz already has the three Ojama cards.

Chapter 4: The First Day

Once we arrived on Academy Island, our first stop was the main dueling arena, located right in the middle of the Obelisk Blue dorm. That was where we would find our dorms. Syrus, Jaden, and I got stuck in Slifer Red. One of our friends, Jack Monty, got into Ra Yellow, and the old school bully, Troy Dash, got into Obelisk Blue.

Until 6:00, we could do whatever we wanted. Then, we'd have to go to our respective dorms and have the welcoming dinner. Right now, it's 3:00.

Chazz demanded a rematch with me as soon as we were dismissed. Naturally, I accepted. We waited until everyone else left.

"Duel!" we said.

"I'll start with Chthonian Soldier in attack mode," said Chazz.

"My turn! I'll play Drillroid. I'll also throw two cards facedown. Now, Drillroid! Attack!" I said.

"Too bad! When my Soldier is destroyed, the life points (LP) I lose are also dealt to you," said Chazz.

LP - L: 3600 C: 3600

"My turn," said Chazz. "I'll play Ojama Yellow in defense. I'll also throw two cards facedown."

"I'll play Fusion Gate to combine Masaki, the Legendary Swordsman, and Flame Manipulator to form the Flame Swordsman. Next, I'll activate Jar of Greed. I'll equip Salamandra onto the Flame Swordsman to increase his attack to 2500. I'll also play E-Hero Burstinatrix. Attack, Burstinatrix! Your creepy monster is destroyed. Now, I'll have my other monsters attack," I said.

LP – L: 3600 C: 0

"You lose again, Chazz. Maybe now, you'll…GIVE UP!"

It was about 3:30 when Syrus, Jaden, Jack, and I got into the fresh air at last. The warm sun felt so good.

"Guys," said Jack, "I'm gonna go check out my dorm. Catch you later."

"See ya!" the rest of us said.

"Hey, guys," Jaden said. " Let's go see what ours' is like and who we'll be rooming with."

So, we walked all the way down to the "Slifer Beach House." The best thing about it was that it took overlooked a rocky platform large enough for a one-on-one duel.

People that arrived earlier than necessary always got the better rooms. We were the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th people to arrive. For the time being, Syrus and Jaden got roomed with Chumley Huffington. I had a room of my own.

It was 4:00, and we were bored. Chumley agreed to an offer I made. We were going to have a mini-tournament. Professor Banner, the Slifer headmaster, was the referee.
