Chapter 4: "Don't Underestimate Me!"

Life Points

Kyotsu: 7600

Goru: 8000

Kyotsu drew his card then suddenly stopped when he looked at how many cards Goru was holding.

"Wait a second! You cheated! You have two cards in your hand when you just had one!" yelled Kyotsu.

Goru smirked. "Dumbass. The ability of my Regeneration Beast allows it to return to my hand."

Note: Regeneration Beast/ Earth/ Level 2/ ATK 200/ DEF 200/Beast/Effect- If this card is discarded from your hand to the graveyard during your End Phase, return this card to your hand immediately.

Kyotsu cursed under his breath then stared at his hand.

"I'll set a monster and one card face down," said Kyotsu as he was signaling Goru he ended his turn.

Goru smirked as he drew his card.

"You're not gonna win in one turn if you stay on the defense," he said.

"I activate my spell card known as Beast's Dimension!"

Kyotsu's monster was sucked into a huge black portal that appeared in front of it.

Note: Beast's Dimension/ Spell Card/ Normal- This card can only be activated when there is a face up Beast or Beast-Warrior Type monster on your side of the field. Destroy and remove from play one set monster on your opponent's side of the field.

"Now Manticore of Darkness, attack Kyotsu directly!"

Goru's Beast let out a battle cry and charged at Kyotsu. Just as his claw was going to hit Kyotsu's face, a monster with a long sword appeared in front of Kyotsu and stopped the attack.

"What the hell?" Goru was shocked.

"Heh," said Kyotsu. "My face down monster was this card and since you removed it from play with your Beast's Dimension card, it came right back!" Kyotsu smiled.

"No matter!" said Goru. "His attack is only 1500! Go Manticore, kill that pathetic monster!"

"Go Warrior from a Different Dimension! Show Manticore your not pathetic!"

Both monsters charged at each other. Manticore swung at Kyotsu's monster, however, missed and was stabbed in the chest. Manticore was destroyed.

"What happened!" Goru's eyes widened.

"You didn't let me finish explaining my monster's ability. Since you removed him, his attack gets doubled!"

Goru was speechless. However, that feeling went away for only a moment when he started to look at his graveyard.

"That's ok," he said. "At my End Phase I'll just revive Manticore and--. What the hell? Why is he removed from the game!" Goru looked at Kyotsu's field and was stunned. "You activated a Trap Card!"

Kyotsu smirked. "And that's what removed Manticore."

Note: Warrior from a Different Dimension/ Light/ Level 4/ ATK 1500/ DEF 1500/ Warrior/Effect- If this card is removed from play while in face down defense position, this card is Special Summoned back to the field immediately and it's ATK is doubled.

Note: Permanent Death/ Trap Card/ Normal- Any monster that is destroyed as a result of battle this turn is removed from play.

"Anyway," said Kyotsu. "You end your turn?"

Goru dropped to his knees and was speechless.

"Hello, Goru?" said Kyotsu.

Goru stared at the ground. "Why...How..He beat my strongest monster so easily. A kid. A stupid kid with no talent beat my strongest monster!" thought Goru.

Goru then yelled out "Why!"

Then, someone came on the loudspeaker and said, "Kyotsu, Goru no longer has the will to duel. You win and you pass the second exam."

"Yes!" yelled Kyotsu. The crowd cheered for Kyotsu.

"He did it!" yelled Alexis. "This was even better than Jaden's duel!"

Zane smiled and clapped.

Jaden jumped out of his seat. "Yea!" he said. "Go Kyotsu!"

Syrus yelled out, "Yea! What a duel!"

Minutes later, Kyotsu found himself in front of a helicopter.

"Kyotsu," said another examiner. "Go on this helicopter. This will take you to our actual Duel Academy. Congratulations."

Kyotsu smiled. He looked around and saw several other helicopters around him starting up. He got on his helicoptor and asked the examiner with him.

"Why are there so many helicoptors? That many people passed?"

"Of course not. When we do exams here, students of Duel Academy are allowed to come by helicoptor and watch the duels."

After an hour helicoptor ride, Duel Academy was in view.

"Wow," said Kyotsu. "These large buildings. The dorms. Amazing!"

The helicoptor landed and Kyotsu followed the examiner inside to the Chancellor's office.

"Here he is," said the examiner. The examiner left the room and was standing in front of the Chancellor.

The Chancellor looked at Kyotsu from his seat.

"Hello," he said. "I'm Chancellor Shepphard. Congratulations on your entrance to Duel Academy."

"Thank you. But, what about my written exam?"

The Chancellor smiled. "We graded it..." he said. "Your score was the highest out of everyone else taking the exam and it's one of the highest scores we've ever got."

Kyotsu smiled and let out a small laugh.

"Actually, I'd like to try something." said Shepphard.

"What?"

"I'm going to let you choose your dorm. I was planning on putting you in Obelisk Blue, but, I want to see what you think would be best for you."

"Hmmm.." said Kyotsu.

Minutes of silence passed as Kyotsu was in deep thought while the Chancellor was patiently waiting for Kyotsu's answer.

"Well, I--" Kyotsu's answer was interupted by the door swinging open and three students falling into the room. Kyotsu stared at the three students.

Chancellor Shepphard stood up. "Jaden! Syrus! Alexis! Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

All three smiled and ran out of the room. Chancellor Shepphard sat back down.

"Sorry about that," he said. "They're good kids but they can cause a lot of trouble."

Kyotsu was still looking at the door. He smiled and turned around to look at Chancellor Shepphard.

"Well," said the Chancellor. "Have you made your decision."

"Yes," answered Kyotsu. "I think I'll go into Slifer Red."

Chancellor Shepphard was shocked however dealt with Kyotsu's decision.

"Interesting," said Chancellor Shepphard. "A student who has the oppurtunity to go into Obelisk Blue the instant they are accepted decides to go to Slifer Red."

"You see, I know I have the skill to get into Obelisk Blue, but, I'd like to see what this school has to offer, top to bottom." Kyotsu made a fist. "I want to duel everyone here. The good duelists and the bad duelists. This'll give me a chance to evolve my skill and become the best duelist. Not only here, but in the entire world!"
