The euphoria of Jeffrey's victory over the Rare Hunter went on for quite awhile until the new students landed on the academy's landing strip. All the new students had assembled in the auditorium, as did several of the teachers.
"Hello and welcome young ones, my name is Chancellor Shepard, of Duel Academy." He introduced. "Here in Duel Academy, you'll be assigned dorms depending on how you ranked, Blue for Obelisks, Yellow for Ra, and last but not least, Red for Slifer. In 6 pm, the welcoming dinner will be held in each of your dorms, so don't be late, but until then, you're free to do whatever you please."
With that, everyone was dismissed.
"Oh well, might as well go on to my dorm." Jeffrey said as he took out the PDA that he was given on the flight and searched for the Slifer Red dorm.
As he walked pass the hall way, a duel caught his attention.
An Obelisk blue clad in his Blue Duel Blazer was dueling a blue-haired Slifer Red student .
"This duel is over! I summon Goblin Attack Force (2300/0000) in attack mode and play the equip spell card Axe of Despair which raises the attack power of my monster by 1000 points!" the Obelisk declared. "Now, Goblin Attack Force, attack Gyroid!"
"Not so fast, I activate my Gyroid's special effect. You see, once per turn if Gyroid would be destroyed as a result of battle, I can choose to save it. So my creature stays safe!" said the opposing player.
"You think that matters, Slifer scum?" he said, clearly insulting the poor boy. "You only have 2000 life points left! Your monster may live to fight but you won't until another day." He said.
The battalion of goblins made their assault on the helicopter looking creature, and dealt 2300 points of damage to the opponent's life points. The owner of the Gyroid's life points then dropped to zero. The boy with the red blazer and light blue hair dropped to his knees.
"HAHAHAHA! You lose punk! Now, your rarest card is mine!" the boy said as he seized the Slifer's duel disk and took out a card from it. "So, this is Zane's little brother? This makes me wonder how are you even related to him."
"Hey! Are you okay?" Jeffrey said as he rushed to his aid.
"HAHAHAHA! Power Bond eh? This will make a fine addition to my collection, little Syrus!" he said as he waved Power Bond Syrus' face.
"Give that back Jhesse! My brother gave me that card!" Syrus said as he tried to reach for the card but Jhesse woud just make sure that it was out of his reach.
"Hey give that back!" Jeffrey shouted
"Heh, he wagered his rarest card against mine to defend his brother's honor and now look at what it has done to him." Jhesse said with pleasure. "I think I'll put this card to good use as a toilet paper…"
"Why do you pick on him when you know all too well that you'll win? Is it because you're a coward?" Jeffrey taunted.
"Heh, us Obelisks are the best, I wouldn't mind stepping on you, Slifer slacker." Jhesse said
"I don't know, I just beat Clown Man cough Mrs. Vermin Gayman that you call head master of the Obsolete Obelisks." Jeffrey insulted.
"I'll make you eat those words you Slifer slime!" Jhesse said as he re-inserted his deck on his Duel Disk. "Let's go, Slifer Slacker, if you win, I'll give back Syrus' Power Bond, but if you lose you give me your rarest card!"
"Fine!" Jeffrey shouted as he strapped on his Duel Disk and put on his Deck
"Let's Duel!" Jeffrey and Jhesse declared as they drew their 5 cards.
Jeffrey – 4000 LP
Jhesse – 4000 LP
"Syrus!" a voice called out.
"Huh? Jaden! Alexis! Bastion! What are you doing here?" Syrus said.
"Well, we heard you were dueling Jhesse, what happened?" Jaden said.
"I lost…" Syrus moped.
"Why that no good… Where is he! I'll beat the living daylights out of him in a duel!" Jaden roared in anger.
"Well, you'll have to wait because look who's dueling…" Bastion pointed.
"Hey! It's that kid who beat Dr. Crowler!" Alexis said.
"Heh you'll have to wait Jaden, one victim at a time." Jhesse said.
"I guarantee you, that you'll be the victim." Jeffrey said as he drew his card. "I set one card face down and play a monsterface downdefense mode. That's all for now."
"That's all period, my draw!" Jhesse said as he drew a card. "I summon Gemni Elf (1900/0900)"
A pair of Elves then appeared on Jhesse's side of the field, ready to attack.
"Gemni Elf, attack his face down monster!" Jhesse declared as the two elves charged at the face down card.
"Heh, that won't matter much because you attacked my Skilled White Magican (1700/1900)!" Jeffrey said as a magician clad in white was revealed.
The attacks of both monsters were repelled as the two elves withdrew.
"Now that you attacked, I'm able to activate this trap card Magician's Circle!" Jeffrey declared. "You see, if a Spellcaster type monster attacks, we both summon a Spellcaster monster from our decks, and I know just the one, come forth Skilled Dark Magician (1900/1700)!"
"Well, in that case, I summon another Gemni Elf (1900/0700) in attack mode!" Jhesse said as a second pair of elves appeared on his side. "I set two cards face down. Your move Slacker!"
"Hm… Skilled Dark and White Magicians… Now where have I heard them from…?" Bastion thought.
"Fine!" Jeffrey said as he drew a card. "I set 2 cards face down, your move!"
"With pleasure!" Jhesse said as he drew a card. "I Mystical Space Typhoon! This lets me destroy a magic card on your field, and I choose the one on the right!"
And then a huge typhoon hit one of Jeffrey's face down card, and revealed it as it was shattered into a million pieces!
"No, my Mirror Force!" Jeffrey shouted.
"Heh! Too obvious! Now I play Card Destruction, this forces both of us to discard our hands and draw cards equal to our previous hand." Jhesse said as both of them discarded cards and drew the same amount as was discarded. "Now I play Axe of Despair which lets me boost the attack power of my Gemni Elf's (2900/0700) attack by 1000 points!"
"This isn't good!" Jeffrey said.
"Now I play Call of the Haunted! This lets me special summon a monster from my graveyard, and I choose Luster Dragon (1900/1600)!" Jhesse said as a vicious sapphire dragon appeared to do battle. "Next, I summon Spear Dragon (1900/0000) in attack mode!"
Once more, another dragon had appeared, ready to do battle for his master.
"Now, Gemni Elf! Attack SkilledWhite Magician!" Jhesse declared.
"Not so fast, I play Negate Attack!" Jeffrey declared as a barrier appeared in time to protect SkilledWhite Magician. "This trap negates your attack and makes you proceed directly to your Main Phase 2!"
"Grr…! You got lucky! I'll end my turn for now…" Jhesse said.
"That was close… If that attack had gone through, then this guy would've taken a huge blow to his life points." Alexis thought.
"My turn!" Jeffrey said as he drew his card, and grinned. "This duel is over."
"Go ahead, i'd like to see you try! You can't get passed my army!" Jhesse said.
"Oh I will. Now I activate Skilled Dark and White Magician's special effects, you see, for every spell you and/or I activate, both my magicians get a spell counter, and now that they have 3 I'll sacrifice both of them to summon monsters that the King of Games himself had used!" Jeffrey declared as both of his magicians vanished "Now I summon Dark Magician and Buster Blader! In attack mode!"
Then, the Dark Magician (2500/2100) clad in his purple armor as well as the Buster Blader (2600/2300) wielding his huge sword had appeared in place of Jeffrey's two magicians.
Jaden had stood there in awe, monsters of his idol, Yugi Motto (or at least cards that are similar) had appeared before his very eyes.
"Now, I play Polymerization! Fusing my Dark Magician and Buster Blader to become one! I summon Dark Paladin (2900/2400)!" Jeffrey declared as the Dark Magician and Buster Blader was sucked into the polymerization vortex and in place of the two, the Dark Paladin, wielding a threatening looking sword came out. "Now for my magician's special effect, it gains 500 attack points for every dragon type monster on our field and graveyard!"
"I have 2 dragons on my field and 2 on my graveyard! No! That gives Dark Paladin 2000 extra attack points!" Jhesse said in horror.
"Yep, now my magician has 4900 attack points." Jeffrey said casually. "Now, the card that will deliver the final blow Diffusion Wave Motion! By paying 1000 Life Points, my Magician can attack all your monsters at the same time, cool, huh?"
"No way! I can't lose like this!" Jhesse said as the Dark Paladin readied itself for a massive assault.
"It's over, Jhesse! Dark Paladin, end this duel!" Jeffrey commanded as the Dark Paladin unleashed a barrage of energy attacks that sliced through Jhesse's monsters like hot butter and knife.
Jeffrey – 3000 LP
Jhesse – 0000 LP (It's actually –7000 LP, but who's complaining?)
"You lose! Now give back Syrus' card!" Jeffrey said as hewalked through the hologram of the fadingDark Paladin.
"Gr…! I'll get you back for this, Slifer Slacker!" Jhesse said as he threw Power Bond back to Syrus.
"Sure, anytime, blue bum…" Jeffrey said as he turned away from the defeated Obelisk and gave him the finger as he walked away.
Jaden, Alexis, Syrus, and Bastion stood there, awe struck with the awesome display of power that was just showed.
"You okay now?" Jeffrey said
"Yeah, thanks for helping me." Syrus said
"What can I say? People like him just annoy me." Jeffrey said.
"That was an awesome duel!" Jaden said. "I mean, you practically bombed that guy with Dark Paladin!"
"He lost so much life points that he'd lose the next duel for sure." Bastion laughed
"Yeah, he just got me worked up by being a jerk." Jeffrey said.
"Well, not all Obelisks are like that." Alexis said as she walked to him. "He just like many Obelisks are just jerks to the kids in the Slifer Red Dorm."
"I see that much." Jeffrey said as he recalled all the demeaning words that Jhesse had said to him. "Too bad, that kind of attitude will be the end of those kinds of people one of these days. I guess they'll have to learn that sooner or later."
Suddenly, the PA went off...
"All students please report to your respective dorms for your welcoming feast." a voice said.
"Well, we'd better get going, see ya!" Jaden said as they all parted for their respective dorms.
