So guess who got sick and had to spend an entire week in bed? This guy! Considering that and the contents of this chapter are shorter than usual, I felt like I should upload something in between.

Anyways, hope you enjoy!

I find myself in the classroom with everyone else, Ayu is sitting on my lap due to there not being enough seats.

"Today's lesson is about dueling's various summoning methods." Shuzo begins the lesson standing next to a projector showing a crude drawing of trap, spell and different level monster cards, "First is Normal Summon this is the most basic summoning method where you take a monster from your hand and place it face up in attack position on the field." he lectures.

While he was talking I mentally went over the current build of my deck and shifted out a few cards and mind tested a few combos preparing for the upcoming fight soon,if all went well I would be fighting Hokuto. It was going to be annoying dealing with that Sacred Deck of his…

"Next is Tribute Summon, Tatsuya can you explain it?" Shuzo asks

"Yes." Tatsuya says standing up, "Tribute Summon lets me summon from my hand, but if I'm summoning a Level 5 or 6 monster, I have to tribute one monster on my field, if it's Level 7 or above, I must tribute two monsters." he explains. As Shuzo moves the slides and points with his baton alongside Tatsuya's explanation.

"That's right, good, you've been studying." Shuzo nods approvingly before gaping in shock, noticing our faces.

"This lecture is boring." Futoshi mutters.

Ayu was leaning back against my chest, her eyes half closed and a bit of drool slipping down her chin, it was quite adorable actually.

"I already know this." Ayu mutters in a bored half awake tone.

"I Fusion Summon with vanilla ice cream and custard pudding!" Sora comments from nowhere in a soft tone that I could hear clear as day with two Ice Cream cups in front of him dipping a spoon into each, "I will eat this sweet Vanilla Prince!" he says eating the mix, "Delicious!"

"How do you NOT have diabetes?" I commented.

"Hey, that's bad." Yuya comments to Sora.

"It's not bad, it's delicious, Yuya you want to eat too?" Sora replies thinking Yuya is talking about the mix itself.

"That's not what I meant, if you eat during class, Yuzu's fan is going to..." Yuya corrects Sora, trailing off in fear of the dreaded weapon turning to look at Yuzu. I turn my head as well to see Yuzu off in lala land.

"...not strike you?" Yuya says in shock, "She's been acting weird since yesterday." she mutters to himself., "Do you know what she meant yesterday?" Yuya asks me.

I take a moment to think about it before I realize what he meant, "No idea." I lied.

"Next is Fusion Summon!" Shuzo continues not having picked up on any of our conversations, "Let's have Sora explain it."

"Its donut effect activates!" Sora yells out standing up, holding a bunch of donuts, "Vanilla Prince has powered up even more!" he yells out scarfing down on the donuts.

"No eating during class, Sora!" Shuzo yells out.

"Dad, Xyz!" Yuzu says suddenly standing up.

Everyone looks at her confused.

"Xyz?" Shuzo questions confused.

Sora looks over at me. I subtly shake my head at him, he nods and turns his gaze to Yuzu.

"We've never taught Xyz Summon here, right?" Yuzu questions in a slightly desperate tone.

"Of course not, I can't teach what I've never done. Even LDS has only started teaching it recently. Why are you suddenly bringing up Xyz?" Shuzo says, confused as to where his daughter's question came from.

"No reason." Yuzu says dismissing her awkward question before glancing at Yuya then me.

Yuya looks back at Yuzu confused.

Yuzu gasps, flinching back in shock.

"What, is there something on my face?" Yuya asks, confused as to why Yuzu is looking at her like that.

"Probably your cuteness." I commented, making Yuya blush again.

"A Surprise attack?!" Gongenzaka's voice yells angrily from outside.

I smirked. Show time.

"There's no way Yuya would do something so underhanded!"

"Gongenzaka?" Yuya says confused as he stands up.

We all stood up, I picked up Ayu and let her ride on my shoulders as we all ran outside to see what was going on.

"What's the commotion?" Shuzo asks as we get outside.

"Headmaster!" Gongenzaka says, greeting Shuzo, "The man Gongenzaka was running to strengthen his legs when he notices three suspicious men peeking into You Show School. When I questioned them they said Yuya attacked them yesterday!" he explains.

"Attack them?!" Shuzo yells in shock.

I wince in pain as the loud voice hurts my ears.

"Me?" Yuya says in disbelief.

"That's right, Don't say you forgot!" Lackey A says. Honestly, I do remember their names, but why bother naming them…

"We saw it with our own eyes!" Lackey B states

"There are Four… actually six witnesses!" Lacky C Tells us.

"Six?" Gongenzaka questions.

"Sawatari, us… and Them!" Lacky C says pointing at Me and Yuzu.

Gongenzaka and Yuya gap in shock and turn to stare at us.

I gently set Ayu down and step out onto the street beside Yuzu.

"Right, Hiiragi Yuzu, Hoshizaki Noa?" They taunted us.

Yuzu takes a step back in fear, but I put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Is that true, Yuzu, Noa, you saw it too? Gongenzaka asks us.

"Saw what?" Shuzo questions.

"The criminal's face, the face of Yuya Sakaki attacking the next mayor's son Shingo Sawatari!" Lackey A comments.

I blinked… "Who?" I question.

"He's the one who held us up hostage at LDS." Ayu says to me.

"...Still not ringing any bells."

"He has Bananas for hair?" Yuya suggested.

"One more."

"You know, the guy no one likes?" Sora suggested.

"OH! BAKATARI!" I said, making Sora laugh.

"That's a lie, there's no way Yuya would do that!" Tatsuya speaks in support of his idol.

"Sawatari was the one who tried to attack us, Yuzu dueled him because she wanted to stop him!" Ayu comments.

"Wait a second!" Shuzo says running up to us confused, "Yuya didn't duel, but Yuzu did?" He questions.

"That's right!" Ayu comments.

"And her opponent was …" Shuzo questions.

"Sawatari!" Ayu finishes.

"That means… Yuzu was the one who attacked them?!" Shuzo yells out in panic

I Deck him once again, my eyebrow twitching in annoyance. "What kind of Ace Attorney BS Logic Chess was that?!"

"Wrong!" The Chibi Trio yell at him.

"Like I said, it was Yuya Sakaki." Lackey A mutters in disbelief.

"She's the one who assaulted Sawatari!" Lackey B repeats.

"Poor Sawatari, he's hurt so badly that he's hospitalized." Lackey C mutters in fake Sympathy.

"Oh." I say in a knowing tone.

"Hospitalized?" Yuya yells in shock.

"Oh no!" Yuzu says in concern.

"There's a chance that he might not live." Lacky C says sympathetically.

I scoffed, "Please, you just claimed I was there. The only damage was his cheap pride and uniform. I bet my left…" I look at the children. "...eye, he's just sitting casually in the hospital bed wasting tax money on fruits." I comment.

The Lackeys flinch back a bit.

"Wait so they were lying." Yuzu questions.

"I-If anything happens to Sawatari, how will you take responsibility?" Lackey A says trying to regain ground but failing slightly.

"Responsibility...I" Yuya stammers confused before running over to Yuzu and I, "Say something, Yuzu, Noa. You saw everything, right?" she pleads with us

"I did, but…" Yuzu trails off still confused.

I shot my hand out and grabbed Yuya's chin between two fingers and stared into her eyes.

"Uh, Noa?" Yuya said, a bit embarrassed.

"Huh… never noticed but your red eyes have a hint of green in them. How peculiar." I commented, not waiting for an answer as I turned back to the Lackey Trio. "The person we saw had long purple hair that looked like an Eggplant, gray eyes, average cup size and great legs covered in scars." I commented. "Unless Yuya could do all that, she is not the culprit."

Yuya looks at me for a moment before looking at Yuzu, "Do you believe I did it too Yuzu?" she asks in a slightly hurt tone.

"I…"Yuzu says in protest but can't bring herself to meet Yuya's eyes.

"If anything happens to Sawatari, the police will definitely arrest you." Lacky A comments.

I put my hands in my pockets and lean forward slightly. "Oh I'd like to see them try." I say with a grin that makes them flinch back in fear.

"Police?" Shuzo yells out in shock as a car conveniently goes by with its siren on, "Start from the beginning and explain what happened!" he begs us as a car rolls up.

"I'll explain." A woman says getting out.

"You're LDS's…" Shuzo says in shock.

"Yes, I am the Chairwoman, my name is Himika Akaba." Himika introduced herself.

Everyone else went inside and I stuck by the door listening.

"Well done." Nakajima says handing three envelopes to the Lackeys. "That was excellent acting.'' he tells them before turning around. Our gazes meet for several seconds and I stare back at him, gaining a sweat-drop of intimidation from him before walking back into the school.

"Everything they said was the truth." I catch Himika saying as I walk into the room, "LDS student Sawatari Shingo was assaulted, and he testified that the culprit was You Show School's Sakaki Yuya." she explains.

Shuzo frowns in thought, "Well, Yuya did you really do that?" he asks.

"No, I didn't, there's no way I would do that!" Yuya says in protest.

"The man Gongenzaka believes in his friend Yuya!" Gongenzaka says in support, "Everyone also, right?" he asks us.

"Of course!" Futoshi says in support.

Gongenzaka nods in approval, "What about you, Yuzu?" she asks.

Yuzu gasps, returning to reality briefly, "Yuya, that really wasn't you?" she pleads.

They stare at each other for a bit before Yuya looks straight into Yuzu's eyes, "I don't know what you saw, but I wouldn't assault Sawatari!" she tells her.

"Okay, I also believe you, Yuya." Yuzu says breathing a sigh of relief.

"Oh my, such solidarity, this means it's unlikely that you'll hand over Yuya, but I can't back down either, LDS is the #1 school in the industry if a rumor that one of my students lost a duel spreads, that would deal us a heavy blow." Himika comments.

My body starts to shudder slightly as I lower my face so that my bangs shadow my eyes.

"Noa?" Yuzu questions in concern.

"Like we said, it wasn't Yuya!" Shuzo protests.

"That no longer matters!" Himika yells out.

I laugh out manically, perfectly mimicking Light Yagami's laugh covering the left side of my face with the edge of my hand like Lelouch does, "Oh this is just precious, you call yourself Number 1! you must live in a very closed off world if you think your weak duelists are the Top." I said, amused.

"Oi Noa..." Shuzo says timidly.

"You think you can tarnish LDS's name?!" Himika asks me.

I tilt my head, "I already did by beating your 'elite' student not too long ago. And I was barely sweating. I could defeat all your elites with 100LP and with a card in hand."

"In order to erase this dishonor, my students must battle you and win!" Himika says.

I pick my nose with a bored look, "Oh what fun defeating a bunch of weaklings." I mutter, flicking the booger off.

"Compete in a duel?" Shuzo says in shock.

"If your side wins, we will forget about the Sawatari issue." Himika says.

"Nope, going to stop you right there." I interrupt.

"Young Man I am Talking." Himika says.

"INTERRUPT ME AGAIN! SEE WHAT HAPPENS!" I roar, making everyone flinch back in fear, "You attacked up unprovoked on nothing but a lie of a worthless duelist after stealing from us in the first place and then paying three students to make up a false story that Yuya attacked a student of your school so no a simple apology will not do!" I tell her coldly, making Himika gulp in fear. "If we win, 25% of LDS will go to You Show as well as any future profits. Not to mention Yuya will have a signature that she proves she is the original creator of Pendulum and that no one can claim that title. Are we clear?"

"Y-You can't-"

"DID I STUTTER!?"

"...Very well." Himika says. "But if we win, Leo Duel School will take over You Show School!"

"What?" Yuya says in shock.

"No way!" Yuzu comments.

"It's not enough to clear your name, you also want to take You Show School?" Gongenzaka asks angrily.

"Chairwoman Akaba, I heard that you're buying many duel schools around the world. You've now also targeted You Show School?" Shuzo asks and Himika smirks, "Maybe you planned the surprise attack!" he accuses her.

"Definitely not, but it's true that I'm using it as a opportunity" Himika confesses, "Along with Fusion, Synchro and Xyz, it's LDS's chance to have Pendulum as its fourth pillar." she explains, "Don't you think it's a waste for you to monopolize such a treasure, Headmaster Hiiragi?" she questions Shuzo.

Shuzo looks down.

"LDS can use Leo Corporation's technological prowess to turn Pendulum Summoning into a curriculum and teach it to many students, because there are many duelists who adore Yuya and want to use Pendulum like him and that kid over there" Himika explains pointing at me, "That's the same with you, right?" she asks the Chibi Trio.

"But you can't Pendulum Summon without Noa or Yuya's Pendulum Cards." Tatsuya points out.

"That can be solved with Leo Corporation's power." Himika admitted.

"A duel isn't a tool for fighting." Yuya says, gaining Himika's attention. "But I don't want anyone else to take You Show School." she tells us.

I smiled a bit, I noticed that she didn't say Pendulum this time around, which must mean Yuya accepted Pendulum wasn't just for her. I was proud of my little Tomato.

"My dad built You Show School to teach entertainment dueling." Yuya says, "I can't let someone who used money and power take over a dueling school that teaches how to entertain the masses!" she states passionately.

Himika grits her teeth frustrated.

"Well said, Yuya!" Gongenzaka compliments Yuya giving her a shoulder hug, "The man Gongenzaka wholeheartedly agrees, In order to protect You Show School, I'll fight alongside my friend!" he says, thumping his chest.

"But you're not a member of our school." Sora cheekily points out.

Gonzenzaka somehow turned to stone in shock.

Huh, so those things are possible.

"If the Schools are going to battle, then it should be Noa, Yuzu, Yuya and me." Sora points out, "I always wanted to battle an LDS duelist." he comments.

"To banish the man Gongenzaka, How inexcusable!" Gongenzaka yells out flustered.

"It seems the students have made a decision." Himika comments.

"I also made my decision." Shuzo agrees, "You Show School.." he pauses.

"You can't have it!" Everyone else yells as we stand behind him. I didn't care for this school, but might as well play along.

"Himika sighs in amusement, "Then let's begin." she says.

"Three Versus Three, The first to two victories is the winner" Himika says once we all arrive, Hokuto, Yaiba... Huh… that's weird. Where is Masumi? All I was seeing was some person in a hoodie, who seems more interested in the Nintendo Switch they were playing... WAIT A MINUTE, NINTENDO EXISTS IN THIS UNIVERSE!?

"Who's Dueling first?" Himika's question snapped me out of my it's my turn.

"I…" I say taking a step forward.

"I am!"

"Yuya?" I looked at the girl who volunteered with a raised eyebrow.

"You've been helping us a lot lately. So now take a step back and let us help as well!" Yuya said.

I looked at her before nodding, "All right." I conceded. There goes my preparations…

Wait, would this mean I would duel Reiji?

"But of course. It's only natural you would send your strongest first." Himika taunts us.

"Ha! Bold of you to assume she is stronger than me." I commented.

"Whatever, old lady!" Sora comments as I give my pupil a thumbs up for that.

"Leave it be!" Yuzu says, patting Sora's head.

"But you shouldn't think that you'll win easily, they're all Junior Youth Class like Yuya, but they're the aces in each of LDS's courses." Himika comments, "The one who will face Yuya…" She Trails off.

"LDS's Xyz Course student Hokuto Shijima!" Hokuto introduced himself.

"Xyz?" Yuzu says in surprise.

I see Tatsuya pull out his Duel Disk and Look Something up.

"There he is, LDS's Hokuto Shijima!" Ayu says when they see the page.

"His record this year is 58 matches, 53 wins?" Futoshi mutters reading the info.

"His win rate is above 90%!" Tatsuya says in shock.

"He easily met the requirements to enter the Junior Youth Championship!" Futoshi comments.

"He's one of this year's favorites to win the championship!" Ayu comments.

The Chibi trio look at Yuya in concern, but she just flashes them a reassuring grin.

"Even if he's an ace or a tournament favorite, there's no need to fear, show him your power, Yuya." Shuzo tells her.

Yuya nodded in response.

"Get fired up, let your blood boil!" Shuzo yells out.

I glare at him, "Do you want me to punch you again?" I ask in a sweet tone.

Shuzo shakes his head furiously.

"I thought so." I state before walking out with everyone else.

"My students can deal with any situation, so choose whatever field you like." Himika comments.

"Deal with any Situation, Then how about this, Action Field On!" Shuzo yells out activating the field, "I activate the Field Spell Cosmic Sanctuary!" he says as the Solid Vision System Activates and the arena turns into a celestial ruin, "Gain the power of the stars and battle, Kazuma!" he tells me.

Hakuto gaps in shock before laughing, "He chose a field where I'm an expert!" he comments.

"What?" Shuzo yells in shock.

"Since his name is Hokuto aka Big Dipper, you could have easily figured that out." Sora comments.

Shuzo turns to stone in shock.

I smirked. "It wouldn't be fair if we didn't give you some form of handicap considering how outmatched you are." I comment

"What did you say?!" Hakuto growls out.

"The Duelists meet at the battlefield!" Ayu starts the Chant.

"Along with their monsters, they'll kick the ground and fly through the sky…" Futoshi picks up.

"To Move around the field!" Tatsuya finishes the first line.

"Witness dueling's greatest evolution!" Ayu starts the second line.

"Action!" Futoshi and Tatsuya call out.

"DUEL!" Hokuto and Yuya cry out.

Note to self: See if I can get Yuya the Odd-Eyes Extra Deck monsters because jesus, does her deck needs some ASAP.

Honestly, I got nothing to say about the duel. It's exactly the same as in the anime.

"Yuzu." Yuya says.

"What?" Yuzu said, a bit surprised.

"You're next. We're counting on you!" Yuya tells Yuzu.

"Yes, leave it to me." Yuzu says.

"Yuzu." Noa calls out to her.

"What?" Yuzu says surprised at being called once again.

"You're going to lose, it's a foregone conclusion." Noa says bluntly.

Yuzu flinches at Noa's cold tone.

"Oi Noa, you shouldn't say that." Yuya says, trying to placate things.

"I only say the truth, despite what Yuya says a Duel is a Battle but one of wits if you go in there with a half hearted resolve you are only giving them a victory as we can't afford that with the stakes on the table.." Noa tells her.

Yuzu looks at the wall for a bit before clenching her fist, "Thanks Noa. I promise I'll remain focused and win." she says walking into the duel area with confidence in her eyes.

Meanwhile, I looked at the other side, where Himika was berating Hokuto. She turned to the mysterious person, who once did not look up from their console.

"It's your turn."

The Gamer didn't reply, continuing to play.

Himika eyebrow twitched, before clearing her throat.

Gamer sighed, putting their Switch away in the pocket of their hoodie before taking out their Duel Disk from the same place and placing it on her arm.

They walked forward, removing their hoodie, and allowing her hair to flow freely.

My eyes widened as well as everyone else, but for different reasons. "She's…!"

"My name is Akaba Yuri." She replied in a monotone tone. "Now who's going to duel me?"

DUN! DUN! DUUUUUUN!

I told you this chapter would be different! Midway

Idea of the day. This one has multiple versions:

-Ray had a younger brother who was also sent into the Standard, but reborn as Reiji older brother. He regains his memories like Leo and both go into the Fusion Dimension. Both him and Akaba Leo sadly view everyone but Yu-boys and Bracelet Girls as illusions, fakes, advanced Mannequins. He has Natural Powers that he absorbed from the fossils in the Original Dimension. No Pairings.

-The same idea but the OC is Yuzu's brother and never meets Akaba Leo. OCxLegacy Girls.

-Not related to Ray and is just a friend from the Original Dimension. OCxRayxFem!Zarc.

- Same idea as before, but the OC has counterparts. OCxRayxFem!Zarc.

The Deck for this one is Dinosaurs, but I can't decide which one: Jurrac, Evol, Dinomorphia, Main Deck Dinosaurs, Dinowrestlers (with Links as Rituals). The OC could use all of them and switch between each Dimension. I could also create Ancient Dragons, the Tachikaze clan from Cardfight Vanguard
