Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh GX, or any of the Characters in here(except Clovis), or Cards. I do wish to thank them for it's making or else I wouldn't have wrote this.

Clovis is the main character in these stories, not Jaden.

Life in the academy was much different than what Clovis was used to back home. At home he was the best, few had a chance against him. Though, not undefeated, he had the longest winning streak there. Life with the cards were simple and hardly enjoyable because of how simple his opponents were. Everyone praised him and had managed to convince him to join the Duel Academy. He did. Upon getting there he had found out that his main deck had an illegal card in it, one he wouldn't take out of the deck. He made a brand new deck with a few spare cards. He may not be the best anymore do to this flaw, but perhaps he can show his real skill without the use of his most powerful deck...

First Day...

After getting to the island by boat Clovis looks around at everyone else. A lot of kids around were his age for the most part, some older, some younger. They all seem eager to get into the school itself. Few were like him, clam and thought out, but a few others around him were like him. Winning here would be no different than back home, perhaps I'm wasting my time coming here? Well I might as well see what the people here have when it comes to dueling skills.

Clovis looked down onto his clothing and made sure he had everything on. His blue jeans, red shirt and black vest, trimmed with red. On the left side of his black belt was a red card deck box and a blue one on his right. This was the outfit he felt most comfortable in. Looking one last time into the water, he made sure his blond hair was spiked in the fashion he liked, short and slighting curved. His green eyes didn't match the rest of him, but there was nothing he could do about that.

After being taken to the school itself a presentation was made showing off a few of the top duelist. After that the first test was to begin. Everyone had to do a rank testing, testing to see what branching they were to be sent into. The thought of this was a bit outrageous, this could lead into major psychological problems, were people would think low of themselves because they were ranked that way. Nothing could be done about it though.

It was Clovis' turn after a short blue kid had lost in a duel against one of the testers. The man wasn't bad, but the kid was. The glasses on him didn't mean anything it seemed, he didn't have much of a brain it seemed. This Syrus, had a lot of work ahead of himself here. No doubt he was ranked low.

Stepping up Clovis did what he was used to, grabbing his right deck; it was illegal though, it couldn't be used. He stopped himself from pulling it out and pulled out the one in the red deck box. After putting on the Kiba Corp hologram projector he placed his deck in the proper slot. It opened up as the duel began.

"Don't worry too much, you might mess up a lot like the one who came before you." the man in blue sunglasses said drawing his first five cards.

Saying nothing Clovis drew. Dian keto the Cure Master, a Man-Eater Bugs, two Magician of Faith, and a Metalmorph. This wasn't a good hand, but would have to do. The man in blue went first, drawing a sixth card. He laid it down in face down defensive position.

"I'm going to play a monster face down in defense position, and two face downs." the man said and paused. "I end my turn."

Clovis drew his card and looked at his hand. "I'll play a creature faced down, as well. Then I'll play Dian keto the Cure Master. This card allows me to gain one thousand life points." Clovis watched as he gained his one thousand life points. "I end my turn."

The man across from him and a few behind him grunted, they were not impressed. Mr. Shades drew his card than flipped the creature he had laid the turn before over, a Master Kyonshee; 1750 attack, 1000 defense creature, no effect. "I'll sacrifice my master Kyonshee and summon Garoozis. Attack Garoozis!" Garoozis, a 1800 attack creature, 1500 defense.

The lizard-man with the battle axe leaped foreword as a bug appeared as Clovis' face down monster. The bug had a defense of 600 it wouldn't live. "My creature has an effect, when flipped," Clovis started to say as his creatures mouth opened up wide, "it destroys a creature on the field, so even though my creature has a lower defense stat than yours and will die, yours goes with it." the bug ate the lizard man as it struck it in the mouth. Both shatter and fade. "My turn I take it?"

Clovis' cockiness was getting to him, but he was sure that he could take this weakling. Placing a card in the magic zone, face down he looked away from his hand and to his opponent. As he place a creature he had drew last turn onto the field. "And now I'll play one of my more–." He gave a long pause thinking of a word to say. "Favorite cards. I'm sure a lot of people are going to gripe at me about it, but oh well. I summon Gemini Elf!" Slowly two beautiful women rise from a hologram card that sit below the creature itself. "Seeing how my creature has nineteen hundred attack power and you have no creatures, I'll have them attack!"

The man in blue flipped a card. Negate attack. The energy blast the elven women fired at the opponent was sucked into a vortex. Knowing that the turn was ended the tester drew a card and played a creature. Jirai Gumo, four star creature with 2200 attack power, but with a deadly effect. "And now I'll attack with–." the man in sunglasses was cut off.

"– And now you will place that card in the grave yard as I play Trap Hole! Any creature normal summoned with an attack stat over one thousand is destroyed if it was summoned." Clovis yelled over the mans voice.

"I'll play Seven tools of a bandit. By paying one thousand life points I negate the effect of one trap card." The mans life points fell to 3000. "Now Jirai Gumo attack Gemini Elf!"

"Don't forget about your creatures effect." Clovis reminded the man, "Jirai Gumo will sometimes half the users life points when attacking. Lets hope it doesn't shale we?"

As the webs shot and destroyed the twin elves another web shot back at Mr. Shades. His life points were now at 1500 as Clovis' dropped to 4700. Foolish move. All of those life points lost wont help you at all if you can't deal just as much back at your opponent. Clovis thought.

"My turn!" Clovis yelled out and drew a card. "I'll play a creature in defense mode and another card face down. I end my turn."

The man drew then sent the creature to attack once more. "I'll equip Megamorph to Jirai Gumo, doubling his attack strength! Attack!" A Magician of Faith took the blow making sure none of the damage hit Clovis' life points. Clovis waited to see if his opponent took more damage, he didn't.

"I draw." Clovis said getting the card he wanted. "I summon Maha Vailo in attack position! I'll equip Axe of Despair to Maha Vailo, raising his fifteen-fifty attack power by a thousand! That's not all, for every equipment on Maha he gains an extra five hundred attack power!" Clovis watched as his creature went from 1550 attack power to 3050.

"So what? Jirai Gumo with Megamorph makes him a fourty-four hundred attack power creature, so long as I have less life points than you. So unless you plan to lower your own life points your creature isn't strong enough."

"I know this. That's why I'm going to play that face down from last turn, seeing how it was a trap I had to wait a full turn before using it. I'll play Metalmorph. Lifting my creatures attack power by three hundred more, then five hundred more for his effect." He watched the 3050 turn into a 3850. "In addition, when attacking a creature, my creature gets a bonus attack power equal to half of your creatures attack power. Seeing how you have a fourty-four hundred attack power creature that makes my creature a six thousand fifty attack power creature. Attack Maha Vailo!" 1650 points of damage was done from the destruction of the creature. 6050 was all I managed to get on my creature, not bad, but I can do better.

He had been tossed into the Ra Yellow, the group that shown great talented. Clovis was sure he would show more before this was over. A person shown up late to the joining, a Jaden. His duel was presented in front of everyone, it was a good match. Maybe someday soon the two would cross paths...
