Chapter 2, Welcome to Duel academy.

Robin stood at the front of the boat leaning over the railing, "I wonder how much farther it is, still this is probably my only chance at a new life", turning around he saw the other students talking and making friends, Robin thought about joining them but thought better of it.

"Hey you, I bet you think your pretty tough betting Dr Crowler" Robin heard a voice say, he turned around to see a boy with black hair and a smug look on his face, Robin frowned and said "And who are you", the boy laughed and replied "I'm Chazz Princeton of the Princeton family one of the richest families in the world", "And why should I care" said Robin.

Chazz was horrified "But I'm rich" said Chazz, Robin looked annoyed "So is the Kaiba family, now leave me alone", Chazz didn't know how to respond to that and just left, Robin stayed in his thought until another boy came up to him "Pardon me, but are you Robin Thorn" he said. Robin looked at him and said "Yes, and you are".

This boy had ash coloured hair and a intelligent look too his face "My name is Bastion Misawa, master strategist at your service" said Bastion. Robin gave a small smile "Well at least you're not irritating like the last two people I've met" Bastion seemed confused "Thanks I think, So what do you know about duel academy".

Robin thought for a moment "I know there's three groups Slither red, Ra yellow and Obelisk blue with red being the lowest and blue being the highest" Bastion looked pleased "It appears you did your homework. If you'll excuse me I have to go and make sure all six of my decks are ready" he said as he walked away.

The next person to approach Robin was a girl with long blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes "Hello there, I just wanted to say congratulate you on beating Dr Crowler, he doesn't seem like a nice man" she said. Robin smiled too this girl "Why thank you Miss" "Oh sorry I'm Alexis Rhodes, pleasure to meet you" Alexis said. "Robin Thorn, nice to meet you too Alexis".

Alexis suddenly looked out to sea "Oh look I think we're almost there" Robin looked were she was pointing and saw an island coming in too view "Well then Alexis I think we should get our things ready, I hope I see you again some time on the island" said Robin "Yes maybe we could even be friends sometime" said Alexis as they both left to gather there belonging to start their new lives at duel academy.

Soon the boat arrived at the island, everyone collected their belongings and followed Dr Crowler.

Even from a distance duel academy was a site to behold. It consisted of a large island with dense forests patched here and there, there was a volcano to the north, and several buildings scattered all across the island the largest of which was a gold colour and stood in the centre of the island, It was this building that Robin and the other first year students was led too by Dr Crowler.

Inside there was several hallways leading to classrooms, duel arenas and a card shop. Robin saw a map on the wall saying the upper floors consisted of the teachers offices and live in space.

Robin and the others was led into a large room that looked like it was used for important announcements, standing before everyone was a bold headed man wearing a dark red duffle coat. Behind him was three other people and one empty seat, Robin assumed they was the other teachers.

Dr Crowler instructed the students to sit down and then took his place with the other teachers. The bold man stepped forward, tested a microphone and then started a speech.

"greetings young duellists and welcome too duel academy. I am Chancellor Sheppard headmaster of this fine school, now I think I should start by explaining how the rules of the academy work, Monday to Friday consists of lessons 9am to 3pm just like any other school, as you should know we teach far more than just duelling here. The weekends are yours too do with as you would like. There are also regular test to determine if anyone is ready for a dorm transfer, remember that you can get promoted or demoted based on your scores so always do your best".

"Now I would like to introduce you all to our fine teachers. First I believe you all know Dr Vellian Crowler head of Obelisk blue and deputy headmaster" Dr Crowler stood up expecting a applause though sat back down when the room remained silent.

"Secondly is Sartyr Kabayama head of Ra yellow and one of our most talented chefs". Sartyr nodded to Sheppard and waved to the students. Sartyr had greying hair with a small moustache, he also wore a yellow coat.

"Next is Professor Lyman Banner head of Slifer red and master science teacher". Professor Banner smiled and waved to everyone. He had long black hair and wore glasses, sitting in his lap was an orange cat.

"And finally we have Fonda Fontaine our head nurse and gym instructor". Fonda thanked Sheppard and smiled to the students. She had reddish brown hair and wore a pink shirt with a white and blue coat that she had open. Many of the boys seemed lovestruck at seeing her.

"Now that introductions are finished its time to sort everyone into their dorms, your scores on the entry exams will determine your place. So let's start with the Slifers" said Sheppard as he pulled out a list of names and began to call them out eventually reaching "Jaden Yuki" Jaden stood up and joined the rest of the reds. When all the Slifers was sorted Professor Banner led them out of the room.

Next was the Ras, not too long in Shepperd said "Bastion Misawa" Bastion took his place with the others and was eventually was led away by Sartyr.

"And now onto the blues" said Sheppard as he started to read the last names on his list "Alexis Rhodes" then "Chazz Priceton" and a few names later "Robin Thorn" as Robin took his place Dr Crowler looked horrified that he was in blue.

As the last name was called out Dr Crowler told everyone to follow him as he led them out of the room to show them their new homes.
