HELLO EVERYONE! HAVE NO FEAR MY READERS*flexes muscles while grinning broadly* BECAUSE I AM HERE…...with the fourth chapter of Yugioh 5ds Heroes. Yeah, pretty cheesy right? Well, I try(and fail) to make an interesting author's note, but I'm pretty sure most of you just skip over it like the opening, so there's no point in telling you this…..I guess…
WELL, I do hope everyone is having a great day. Sorry for the really long wait, but…..yeah, I drew a blank when it came to making a new chapter for this original story since…..well, it's original. But, just for you guys, I will stay up all night, not eat, and thinking of new ways to make this an interesting story.
DanielJensen: Thanks man.
Haro654: Alexis has a mix of her GX and Arc V decks as they really do compliment one another very well.
Spider-Man999: I did say I would use everyone summoning method(except Links, cause they would kill most of the decks in this story.) I don't know about the Bleach one to be honest.
Mamba24808: I feel like Ochaco would be the best to have the Magical Girl deck, and I will post the harem list for you.
Dragon Rider 66: I try to make each story neat. You'll have to wait and see~
Rebellion Rose: Even if it was just a practice duel, I still had fun writing the duel. And yeah, we will get another duel for this chapter.
DARK REQUIEM XYZ: Not a bad idea for this chapter. Plus, I like the deck ideas you gave me.
Leafeon12: I think Spellbooks fits Momo's character more.
Mr. unknown: I'm willing to use the dark synchros.
Tiaflower: Oh, everyone's gonna using different summoning methods as they are supposed to grow as people.
Mathiotaros: Well I can't just make everyone original card OP. I need to keep the balance, hence why some cards only work under certain conditions. The dynamic between Izuku and Shark is interesting, though they unfortunately won't duel in this chapter. As for Bakugo, while we won't see him anytime soon, I will give him every Red Eyes card.
Bastion Lightz: I'm willing to listen. Yeah, but if Izuku tries something, Alexis can tell the teachers and he'll automatically be expelled. Plus I have a few funny moments…...I'm weird like that.
YungDraco: Oh he'll use different summoning methods, though Dark Rebellion is tempting.
Tdog Smith: Thanks.
ShadowFlameDragon03: I'm glad you'll be sticking around.
Zack: Ummmm, thanks?
So, to recap the last chapter: The first official day of Duel Academy started, with most of the students ecstatic about the opportunity to learn from the very best Duelists. During seventh period, All Might had Tenya Iida and Ochaco Uraraka duel one another in order to show his students how to analyze the outcome of the battle through their actions.
Now, what kind of challenges will our Heroes face? Let's find out…..
(Play Yugioh 5ds English opening)
The first scene shows Izuku entering the light while on a custom green Duel Runner. He drives along the streets with a determined frown. A shot of Blue Eyes White Dragon roaring in the air before Road Warrior pulls out his launcher. Another shot shows Izuku racing Katsuki Bakugo in a large arena before flashing to Toshinori Yagi, who gives Izuku a serious expression.
(Going fast makes me feel alive.)
Izuku pushes the gas of his Duel Runner before boosting forward with Gravity Warrior and another monster flying behind him.
(My heart beats in hyper drive.)
He then thrusts his hand forward as Evilswarm Ouroboros roars as him.
(Do you think you can win? Only if I lose.)
Izuku continues to drive with Yazu, Evil of the Yang Zing next to him. Bakugo drives backwards as Red Eyes Black Dragon appears over him.
(Just let destiny choose.)
Izuku smiles before he jumps off a large hill with the sun shining under him.
(I can hear you breathin'.)
Izuku slams a card onto his green Duel Disk before looking towards the left.
(I can see you comin'.)
Shoto Todoroki appears, also placing a card on his Duel Disk before looking the opposite way.
(I can feel the wind. It's blowing me around.)
Izuku waves his arm as Red Eyes fires its Infernal Fire Blast while Masked Hero Dark Law uses Shadow Claw, causing both attacks to clash.
(Take a shot at me runnin' side by side.)
Shots of Ochaco Uraraka, Tenya Iida, Momo Yaoyorozu, Eri and Eijiro Kirishima appear in spotlights. Shota Aizawa, Nemuri Kayama, and Toshinori appear, each with a mark of what looks like a Dragon behind them in red.
(It's a blur... as I go by.)
Izuku drives out his apartment complex while his mother and father wave at him goodbye.
(I can hear you breathin'.)
The scene shows Izuku driving in a large stadium with thousands of people watching.
(I can see you comin'.)
Shoto draws a card from his Duel Disk before looking forward. He and Izuku then drive passed each other in the opposite direction.
(I can feel the wind.)
Izuku is seen driving with his hair shadowing his expression while Shoto looks sadly at a woman with white hair looking out a window.
(It's blowing me around.)
Izuku's eyes begin to glow green as he spins and throws five cards in the air, revealing them to be Heroic Champion Excalibur, Road Warrior, Gravity Warrior, Masked Hero Acid and Kuriboh.
(See the sun arising.)
Izuku puts on his helmet before he picks up a Fusion monster in his hands and slams it on his Duel Disk.
(Fire in the sky.)
A blue portal appears next to him before Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman comes out, flying next to Izuku.
(Greatness thrusts itself into our lives.)
Battlin Boxer Lead Yoke, Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir, Buster Blader, and Speedroid Terrortop fly in the air before Stardust Spark Dragon appears next to Izuku as he drives in the streets with a smile.
Yugioh 5ds Heroes!
'Duel Academy Cafeteria'
"Hmmmm, she's kinda cute."
"Eh, I'd give her a 6.5 out of 10. What about her?"
"Definitely an 8. Oh, look. It's Rhodes and Yaoyorozu."
"Man, are we blessed to have such beauties in our class." For those who are confused as to who is saying this kind of words, look no further than Denki Kaminari and Minoru Mineta. The two most perverted males in all of Duel Academy were currently sitting at one of the many tables offered to students in Duel Academy, grinning broadly as they commented on the most attractive females in their school. Needless to say, they weren't the most popular guys in 1-A. Though there were some pretty girls that walked by, the ones that made them blush the most were Alexis Rhodes and Momo Yaoyorozu, who were currently in line to get their lunch. "Yaoyorozu's curves, and Rhodes' legs make a good combo, am I right Kaminari?" Mineta asked his blonde friend, who nodded dumbly.
"Yeah, even when wearing the school uniforms, they still show off their bodies. Man, getting one of them to be your girlfriend would be a dream come true." Kaminari said with a perverted grin.
"You know that you're talking out loud right, ribbit?" Tsuyu said to the two perverts, standing behind them while giving a blank expression. "If you keep staring at people, then you won't have that many friends here." And with that, she walked to the lunch line, getting glares from Kaminari and Mineta.
"Whatever, we still have friends, right?" Kaminari asked ineta, who nodded.
"Totally, and when the ladies see our dueling, they'll be lining up to date us." Mineta replayed before slurping some of his ramen noodles. His eyes then caught sight of Rio Kastle, who was currently laughing at something Uraraka said. "Kastle's cute, but not my type."
"Woah, I didn't know you swung both ways." Kaminari said with a cheeky grin.
"I meant the girl Kastle, not….don't mess with me man." Mineta said with an annoyed tone. "Anyways, what do you think of her?"
"Other than the fact she's one of the top students in our class and has an awesome Ice deck? She's a 10 in my book." Kaminari said with a dreamy smile, drinking his milk. "Say, think I should ask her out?"
"Woah, woah, woah my friend. Don't jump the gun just yet." Mineta said while wagging his finger left and right, but to Kaminari's confusion.
"What? She's not seeing anyone, so I think I have a pretty good shot." Kaminari replied.
"Do you know who her brother is? He's an ace duelist, and a too-cool-for-school kind of guy. And you REALLY think you can just go up to her and ask for a date?" Mineta asked with a raised brow, making Kaminari widen his eyes.
"Woah, you're right." Kaminari asked before he groaned, lowering his head in disappointment. "Great, and just when I was about to ask her out."
"Don't lose hope just yet my friend." Mineta said with a confident grin, pointing a thumb at himself. "I've got a plan I just KNOW will work. All you gotta do is do exactly as I say."
"Really, what is it?" Kaminari asked with a hopeful tone, getting the shorter of the two to smirk while drinking his own milk.
"All you gotta do….is kiss up to her brother. That way, you won't have to worry about him beating you to a pulp." Mineta said like it was the most obvious thing, getting Kaminari to rub his chin.
"Kiss up to Kastle huh? I don't like it, but if it gets me a date with his sister, then I'll do it!" Kaminari said with pure determination, not knowing that his voice was a bit louder than he was expecting.
"Achoo." Shark suddenly sneezed, though he was able to do it away from his sandwich, as well as his classmates.
"Is something wrong?" Shoto Todoroki asked his roommate with a raised brow.
"I think someone was talking about me." Shark said with a shrug before taking a bite from his sandwich, looking at the right corner of the cafeteria to see Kaminari and Mineta high fiving each other. 'What are those two talking about? Whatever. It's not like it was about me.'
Oh how blind he was.
'The next morning'
Reginald Kastle awoke to the sound of water running from the bathroom in his dorm room. Letting out a small groan, Reginald began wiping his eyes before opening them, staring at the bland yellow ceiling. "Great, another day of classes." Reginald muttered, rubbing his tired eyes before standing up from his bed. Looking at the bathroom door, the purple haired male watched as his roomate, Shoto Todoroki, walked out of the bathroom, dressed in the usual Duel Academy uniform.
"The shower's open." Shoto said with a simple tone.
"Yeah, I see that." Reginald retorted, cracking the left side of his neck. Pushing himself up from his bed and clad in a simple white shirt and purple shorts, Reginald Kastle reluctantly prepared for today's classes.
*Knock, Knock*
A sudden knock came from the dorm room, catching the attention of both males. They simply looked at each other with the same confused expression before Reginald walked up to the door, opening it. "Good morning Kastle!" The person behind the door was none other than Denki Kaminari, who had on the weirdest smile anyone had ever seen.
"Ummmmm, do I know you?" Reginald said with a blank tone. Kaminari fell sideways out of surprise before picking himself up.
"I'm in Mr. Aizawa's class with you, and All Might's. You don't recognize the hair?" Kaminari asked while pointing at his head. All he got for an answer was a blank expression. "Anyway, how are you? You sleep good?"
"Fine, I guess. Why do you ask?" Reginald said, leaning against the door.
"Just asking. Wanted to make sure my good buddy is ready for today." Kaminari then nudged him lightly, though from the way Reginald looked at him, he wasn't happy.
"Are you going to tell me what you want or am I going to have to close the door?" Reginald said, clear annoyance evident in his voice.
"Right, right, right. I was wondering…..if you like muffins!" Reaching behind his back, Denki Kaminari pulled out a small basket of mini muffins. There was even a little note, saying 'to my best buddy.' All Reginald could do was look at the blonde male, then at the muffins. "You just woke up, right? So I thought I'd give you a little breakfast. You know how much a hassle it is to wait in line to get your food."
"Right….."
"So, here you go." Kaminari handed the basket to Reginald. "Well…...I'll see you later, good buddy." With a small nudge, Kaminari walked away, leaving a rather bewildered Reginald behind.
"Was that Kaminari?" Shoto asked offhandedly as he put on his shirt. He then noticed the basket in his roommate's hand and raised a brow. "Is that a gift?"
"...I have no idea." Reginald looked at the basket before taking out a muffin and biting it. His eyes widened a bit. "Hmmm, not bad." Curious, Shoto grabbed a muffin and bit it, widening his eyes slightly.
The simply continued eating muffins, unaware of the 'plan' going down.
'With Denki'
Kaminari closed the door behind him, a grin plastered on his face. "So, how'd it go?" Minoru Mineta asked his roommate, swinging his short legs on the edge of his bed while putting down one of his favorite…...manga.
"It went ssssooooo good. I didn't even think we can find any good muffins." Kaminari said proudly. "So, should I ask him if I can go out with his sister now?" To his surprise, Mineta chuckled while wagging his finger.
"Awww Kaminari, Kaminari, Kaminari. I love your spirit, but this is just phase one of our plan." Pulling out a whiteboard(seemingly out of nowhere), Mineta showed his friend a series of drawings, with Kaminari and the Kastle siblings in the center. "See, in order to get Kastle's full trust, you need to show him that you're a good friend. You know, let him cut in line during lunch, help him in class, share something you have in common. Once he trusts you, THEN you can ask him if you and his sister can go on a date."
"I don't know, it looks like it might take a while." Kaminari said with an unsure tone.
"You're in luck. My plan will only take a week to finish, IF you follow each step." Jumping off his bed, Mineta gave Kaminari a toothy grin with a thumbs up. "Just watch, by the time we're done, you'll have yourself a girlfriend. Just promise you'll share any saucy details when you go on dates. Maybe I'll be able to score too."
"You got it buddy." Both perverted males shared a high five, ready for Operation: Sibling Date.
…..it truly is a beautiful, yet sad moment.
'Tuesday'
"...and with that, you can see how a chain works with the right card combination. Always study your cards and find different ways to outsmart your opponent." Shota Aizawa continued with his lecture, using his usual bored tone. Most of the class simply took notes on the lecture…..though a certain blonde had other plans.
"Pssss, Kastle?" Kaminari whispered to the purple haired male.
"What?" Reginald said quietly with an annoyed tone.
"You need some extra notes? I studied like crazy yesterday." Kaminari whispered while pushing his notebook to him.
"I don't need that."
"Come on, it'll help with the quiz."
"Seriously, I don't need-"
"Kastle, Kaminari." Unfortunately for the two, Aizawa was able to hear their 'quiet' conversation. He gave them both an irritated glare. "Since you're so focused on your discussion, can you tell the class what trap card can destroy one monster with 2000 attack points, as well as any copies in the opponent's deck?"
"I know!" Kaminari shouted with his hand raised high, giving Reginald a confident wink. "The trap, Chain Burn!"
'Oh my god.' Reginald thought with a facepalm as some of the class chuckled.
"Wrong. The answer is Chain Destruction." Aizawa said blankly. "Pay attention in class or else you'll fail the next quiz." Clearly embarrassed, Kaminari shrank back down to his seat, giving his 'buddy' a reluctant grin. He mouthed an 'I'm sorry,' getting a scoff from the purple haired male.
'Wednesday'
The students of Duel Academy were gathered in line for lunch, some taking the time to talk to their classmates. "How long is this damn line?" Reginald said to no one in particular, tapping his foot in irritation.
"Come on Reginald, it isn't that bad." Rio said to her brother while standing behind him. "We still have time for lunch, so don't be fussy."
"No one uses that word anymore." Reginald shot back blankly, getting his sister to stick her tongue at him cutely.
"KASTLES!" An all too familiar voice called out from the front. Waving at the siblings was Denki Kaminari, who had a big smile on his face. "I SAVED YOU A SPOT! COME OVER HERE!"
'Okay, what the hell is he doing?' Reginald thought with his eyebrow twitching a bit.
"What do you think Bro? Should we…...go?" Rio asked, obviously not wanting to feel rude towards the others.
"Just ignore him. We'll get our lunch soon." Reginald said with an indifferent tone.
"HEY, CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME?!" Kaminari continued to shout. Some of the students looked at the brother and sister duo, though Reginald gave them a glare in response. "COME ON, I SAVED YOU GUYS A SPOT IN LINE!"
"Reginald…" Rio said, a little put off with the stares everyone was giving her.
"Fine." Reginald said through his teeth as he and Rio began to walk past the students in front of them. Luckily, none of them were stopping the siblings from moving on…..mostly because they didn't want to keep hearing Kaminari shouting while they waited for their lunch. Reginald and Rio reached Kaminari, who still gave them a big grin.
"Hi." Kaminari said 'innocently.'
"Hi. Thanks for saving us a spot." Rio said with a sweet smile, getting Kaminari to blush. Reginald simply said nothing, though Rio nudged him a little.
"Yeah…..thanks." Reginald said reluctantly.
"No problem…..best buddy." Kaminari said while nudging Reginald, only to get a glare.
Little did the three know, some of their classmates were watching them.
"Hey, did you guys see that?" Ochaco said as she finished her small prayer.
"Yeah, Kaminari actually saved a spot for Rio and her brother. It's actually really strange, ribbit." Tsu asked with a finger on her chin.
"Maybe he's trying to get her to go on a date with him." Toru said while eating some of her delicious Dango. "I mean, he's been looking at her for a while now."
"Yeah….but he's been trying to impress Rio's brother too." Mina said, getting the attention of the other girls.
"What do you mean Mina?" Ochaco asked with an innocent tilt of her head.
"Well…" Mina slurped up some of her noodles before continuing. "I remember yesterday morning he went to Kastle's dorm and gave him this basket of muffins just cause. And don't you remember when Mr. Aizawa caught them talking."
"So….you're saying that Kaminari is trying to flirt with both Rio and her brother?" Jiro asked with a raised brow.
….wait, what?
"I don't think that's it Jiro." Tsu countered, though she did focus her attention on Kaminari and the Kastle siblings.
"Maybe we should watch and see how things turn out." Mina suggested before a cheeky grin appeared on her face. "Oooohhhhhh, maybe this will be the first couple in our class! Just imagine how romantic it'll be!"
"I think you're thinking a bit too much into it Mina." Ochaco said while patting her friend on the shoulder awkwardly. "Besides, it isn't our place to watch them be a couple."
"No, I think Mina's right!" Toru said while standing up from the table. "Romance must blossom, and high school is the best place for it! We have to watch so that more and more couples can come out of the shadows." She then sighed dreamily while sitting back down on the table. "Oh I love romance stories."
"Then it's settled. We watch and wait for Rio and Kaminari to go on a date." Mina declared proudly, with Toru nodding in agreement. All the other three girls could do was stare at their friends in disbelief.
'Thursday, Downtown'
Having finished class rather early, Reginald Kastle decided to go to town and have some fun at Carson's Epic Games, a local arcade he and Rio had often come to for relaxation. Besides being rather skilled in Duel Monsters, Reginald was a proviciant gamer, more specifically in fighting and first person shooter games.
However, what was supposed to be a relaxing day…...turned into a day of
beating a certain blonde.
"Oh man, I almost got you…..almost….AHHHHHH." Denki Kaminari groaned in defeat as Reginald once again beat him in Street Fighter. "Wow, eight wins in a row. You're too good Kastle."
"That's because you keep using Dan Hibiki." Reginald said with an uncaring tone. "He's a joke character."
"Hey, I told you I was good at playing as him. You're just way better as Ryu." Kaminari said with a simple shrug. "So, what game do you wanna play next?"
"Why don't you do you and I do me?" Reginald said, obviously wanting to be alone.
"Oh! How about a nice cool soda on me? What's your flavor?" Kaminari said while clapping his hands together. Reginald kept looking at him with sharp eyes before he sighed.
"Grape." Reginald simply said, getting a nod from Kaminari before he walked away. "I swear, what the hell is with that guy?" Suddenly, he felt some eyes looking at him from behind. Quickly, Reginald turned his head, catching hints of pink, brown, black and dark green hair from the corner before they disappeared. He blinked a bit in confusion. 'What was that? Was that Ashido and…..Uraraka?'
"That was close. Do you think he saw us?" Mina asked her friends while hiding behind the entrance of the Arcade.
"I don't think he did." Tsu said, peering through the corner. Much to her relief, it looked like the purple haired male was minding his own business. "Are you sure we should be following him like this?"
"And why did you drag me into it? I don't care who Kaminari dates." Jiro said with clear annoyance in her voice.
"Yeah. It just feels…...wrong following them." Ochaco said with a worried tone. She never really followed someone like this before in her life, and it felt…...really, really wrong. If any of the teachers found this out, then she and the others might be kicked out before they could finish their first semester!
"Don't worry, Ochaco. All we're doing is watching from far away." Toru said with a big smile. "This is like that manga I read where the main hero asks the brother of his love interest if this could marry her and they ended up having this beautiful wedding over a cliff side." The four girls looked back at Toru with wide eyes, getting her to blush out of embarrassment. "I like romance manga, okay?"
"Thank you." Kaminari said to the cashier of the Arcade, handing him the money for Reginald's soda.
"So, how's everything going, my friend?" Kaminari turned his head, only to find his roommate sitting at a nearby table, wearing a pair of dark shades to 'hide his identity.' Seeing as no one else was watching, Kaminari walked up to the table and took a seat. Mineta smiled as he removed his glasses. "Are you getting his trust?"
"I think so." The blonde said, though he did have some reluctance in his voice.
"Problem?" Mineta asked with a raised brow.
"It's just….when can I spring the question on him? I mean, I think he's starting to be bothered by me. Heck, I almost got him in trouble two days ago." Kaminari sighed sadly while tapping on the table. "Maybe I should just ask his sister out."
"Woah, woah, Kaminari." Mineta raised his hands. "Look, I know it looks hard, but you need to think about it. If you ask Rio Kastle out, then her brother would kick your ass. It's not like you can fight him."
"Fight him….fight him….WAIT!" Kaminari shot up with realization. "I know what I can do to earn his trust!"
"Okay? And what would that be?" Mineta asked with a raised brow.
"I can duel him. If I win, he has to let me date his sister." Kaminari explained with a big smile. "Plus, I can ask Rio to come watch the duel and when she sees how badass I am, she'll want to date me. I'm killing two birds in one stone!" Slowly, the short male widened his eyes at his friend's plan before he smiled as well.
"Hey, that's actually a good plan. Way better than my year long plan to get Kastle to trust you." Mineta said with a nod.
"Yeah-wait…...A YEAR?!" Kaminari exclaimed in shock. The duration of Mineta's plan…...was a whole damn year? He thought Rio was cute and all….but a whole year was too much for him.
"Not important right now. Go tell him that you wanna duel tomorrow and I'll go make sure his sister is there." Mineta said with a wink. "Go get 'em Casanova!" Though still shocked from his roommate's year long plan, Kaminari nodded as he ran to find Reginald. However, the short student then noticed the bottle his friend left. "Soda?" Curious, Mineta took the bottle and opened it, taking an experimental sip. "Mmmmm, grape."
"Kastle!" Said person turned around, only to see Kaminari run up to him, panting a bit.
"What?" Reginald asked. Once he caught his breath, Kaminari looked at the other male with a broad grin.
"Look, I have to go back to my dorm, but before that….I need to ask you for something." Kaminari asked, getting a raised brow from Reginald.
"Okay?"
"I challenge you to a duel!" Kaminari said rather proudly while pointing at Reginald.
"...What?" Reginald asked with a rather tired tone.
"Well, I haven't really seen you duel that much and I wanna show how strong I am." Kaminari explained. "Come on. It'll be fun. Just one duel, that's all I'm asking." He put his hands together, praying to the purple haired male.
Reginald did not want to do this now. He already spent way more than enough time with the blonde haired male and if he had to spend one more day with him…..he might consider knocking him out.
Then again….a duel might finally get him off his back. Besides, with the skill he had, Kaminari might not stand a chance.
"Alright." Reginald finally said, getting a big grin from Kaminari.
"Awesome! Let's duel tomorrow at 4 o'clock in one of the Duel Arenas. Is that okay?" Reginald gave him a simple nod. "Okay, see ya tomorrow then!" With that, Kaminari ran out of the arcade, allowing Reginald to finally let out a relieved sigh.
"Thank god he's gone. Now I might be able to finally relax." Reginald said before he realized something. "Wait….the hell's my soda?"
Little did they know…...a certain pink skinned female was listening in on them, a cheeky grin on her face.
'Duel Arena, the next day'
"Mina, can you stop pulling me?" Rio asked her pink skinned friend, who was currently pulling her by the arm as the two walked through the halls of Duel Academy. Their last class just ended, but before Rio could have a chance to relax, Mina came by and literally swooped her away from her desk. "You know I can walk on my own, right?"
"We don't have time!" Mina shouted rather hastily as the two exited the classroom building, making their way towards the Duel Arenas. "You've got to see this."
"See what? Seriously, will you just stop?" With one mighty pull, Rio was able to slip out of Mina's grasp, rubbing her wrist while giving her friend an irritated expression. "Seriously, what is going on?" Not being able to hold back her excitement, Mina decided to tell Rio about what was going down.
"Kaminari is dueling your brother so he can date you!" Mina shouted with a squeal in her voice.
"...What?" Rio asked in confusion.
"The whole reason he was hanging out with your brother is so he would let you two date. It's so romantic~~~" Mina said with a long sigh. It was just like what happened in one of her romance manga.
"Again…..What?" Rio repeated.
"Come on, we can still catch the opening hand!" Mina quickly grabbed Rio's hand and proceeded to drag her. The two eventually arrived in Duel Arena B, where several students were gathered. Mina smiled as she saw her group of friends, waiting for them. "Hey! Did it start yet?"
"Nope, they just got here." Toru said, smiling as she saw Rio next to Mina. "Rio! Glad you can make it."
"Are Kaminari and Reginald really going to duel…...for me?" Rio had to ask as she and the others looked over the railing, seeing her brother walking on one side while Kaminari walked on the other.
"Yeah. He really wants to go out with you." Ochaco said with a nervous smile.
"He probably won't last three turns." Jiro said offhandedly.
"I don't think I've ever seen Kaminari or even Kastle duel." Tsu said with a tilt of her head. "How do you think it'll end, Rio?"
"I…...honestly think Kaminari isn't going to win." Rio admitted with a small frown. "No one has ever really beat my brother, though there was that time when he was in Regionals."
"Yeah, plus he looks like the type of tou-WAIT, DID YOU SAY REGIONALS?!" Having realized what he friend said, Mina turned to the blue haired female with wide eyes, as well as the other girls.
"Oh, I didn't tell you guys huh?" Rio said, albeit rather sheepishly. "Yeah, Reginald placed 2nd in Kanto Regionals. He would've won, but his opponent surprised him with a trap card combo."
To say the other girls were shocked by Reginald's placement in a Regional Tournament was a clear understatement. While some people have said that he was a rather skilled duelist, being placed in Class 1-A, hearing such an achievement was baffling. However…...there was one thing they could agree on.
Kaminari….was screwed.
'Alright! Rio's here to watch me duel.' Kaminari thought as he saw Reginald's sister watching him, a big smile on his face. 'Now I can show her how much boyfriend material I am.'
"Go get 'em, Kaminari!" Mineta shouted, hanging on the railing while waving at his friend.
"Why the hell's everyone here?" Reginald asked, feeling rather annoyed with the unwanted attention he was getting.
"Do you really think we should be watching?" Syrus said to Tenya and Izuku.
"Well, Ashido told everyone that this would be an event we shouldn't meet, though I do agree with you." Tenya said while fixing his glasses. "What about you, Midoriya?"
"I don't think it's a bad idea." Izuku said with his arms crossed, looking at the two Duelists with interest. "Kastle hasn't really dueled and with the way Kaminari's deck runs…..it could be really interesting." Little did Tenya and Syrus know…...Izuku had a small notepad and pen in his pocket to record any data he saw. "Aren't you guys wondering who would win too?"
"I guess you're right. Plus we don't have that much homework to do this weekend." Syrus said while leaning against the railing. "Do you guys sometimes feel like you aren't important to something that's happening?" Both Izuku and Tenya looked at one another, wondering just what the hell their friend was talking about?
"Let's get one thing straight." Reginald said, getting Kaminari's attention. "If I win, you have to stop bugging me about this whole buddy thing. I don't know why you're doing it, but it stops now."
"Fine by me. I'll show you and the ladies how skilled I am." Kaminari said as he raised his yellow Duel Disk, allowing a yellow energy blade to appear. Rolling his eyes, Reginald activated his blue Duel Disk, allowing another energy blade to appear, only this one was blue. Both males inserted their decks into their Duel Disks, allowing them to automatically shuffle. Kaminari then took out a coin. "Heads or tails?"
"Heads." Reginald said, getting the blonde to nod as he flipped the coin in the air. Everyone watched in anticipation as the coin continued to flip in the air before Kaminari slammed it on his hand.
He pulled his hand away….and revealed the head.
"Looks like I'm up first." Both males drew five cards, their eyes narrowing in response.
"DUEL!
Reginald Kastle: 8000LP
Denki Kaminari: 8000LP
"I draw." Reginald drew his sixth card, examining his hand. After a few moments, he placed the sixth card in his hand before he grabbed his fifth card. "I summon Shocktopus in attack mode." The ground began to crack in front of Reginald before a pink octopus-like creature with a shark-like face and a long black nose crawled out of it.
Shocktopus: LV 4. Att: 1600/Def: 800
"Then I put a card facedown. Turn end." A card appeared in front of Reginald before disappearing.
"Now it's my turn! Draw!" Kaminari drew his sixth card before he looked at it, earning a smile. "First, I summon Mahunder in attack mode!" Lightning struck the area in front of Kaminari before it disappeared, revealing a woman with lightning surrounding her hands and long hair, a red assassin outfit and pink shoes.
Mahunder: LV 4. Att: 1400/Def: 700
Just seeing the female caused some of the male spectators to whistle in response. "Pigs." Jiro said with an eye roll.
"And because of her effect, I can normal summon another thunder type monster from my hand, so now I summon Pahunder!" Clapping her hands together, Mahunder slammed them on the ground, causing a bolt of lightning to come from the sky. Arriving from the lightning was a male, dressed in a green warrior's outfit, lightning coated hands and hair, and light green boots.
Pahunder: LV 4. Att: 1300/Def: 600
"And just like Mahunder's effect, Pahunder lets me summon another level four thunder type from my hand. I summon Brohunder in attack mode." Pahunder shouted as he punched the ground in full force, summoning a bolt of lightning. Once the lightning died out, a young child wearing a mixed green outfit, lightning on his hands and hair, and orb-like boots
Brohunder: LV 4. Att: 900/Def: 400
"Wow, he summoned three monsters in a row." Ochaco said in surprise.
"Never thought Kaminari would have a combo like this." Jiro said with a slightly impressed tone.
"Now thanks to Brohunder, I can add a thunder type monster from my deck to my hand." A card ejected from Denki's deck as he added it to his hand. "I Overlay level four Mahunder, Pahunder and Brohunder!" All three thunder types turned into three blobs of yellow energy before they entered a black vortex in the middle of the arena. "With these three monsters, I build the Overlay Unit. I XYZ summon…...Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon!" The Overlay Network exploded, followed by several bolts of electricity. Emerging from the Network was a long, light blue dragon with dark blue veins, long light whiskers and the number 91 on its left side. The XYZ monster let out a loud roar as three yellow orbs rotated around it.
Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon: Rank 4. Att: 2400/Def: 2000
"Amazing! I never knew Kaminari had a monster like that." Izuku said while writing in his notepad.
"Yes, and an XYZ monster that uses more than two monsters must be powerful." Tenya said with a hand on his chin, though his eyes were focused on Reginald's facedown. "Though Kastle may have a way to protect himself."
"Not a bad monster." Reginald admitted, getting a bit grin from Denki.
"I got this bad boy when I was thirteen, and he's been helping me win duels for a long time." Denki said, fondly looking at the dragon. "He's kickass, and I wouldn't trade him for the world." Sensing its Duelist's gaze, Thunder Spark Dragon growled lowly at him, snapping him out of his trance. "Right. I'm gonna use my dragon's special ability! By using all three Overlay Units, I can destroy all your face up monsters! Go, Electric Current Storm!" Absorbing all three Overlay Units, Thunder Spark Dragon let out a roar as blue lightning shot everywhere. Several of the currents struck Shocktopus, causing it to moan before it exploded, leaving Reginald defenseless.
Or so he would have everyone believe.
"I play my trap, Torrential Reborn." Reginald said calmly, much to everyone's surprise. His facedown ross, revealing a trap card with an image of a creature in the middle of a waterfall. "When you destroy one of my water type monsters, this trap activates, and it brings them back. Not only that, but you lose 500 life points for every one brought back." A geyser of water shot out of the ground as Shocktopus reappeared. Some of the water shot towards Kaminari, striking him clean in the chest as he fell on the ground.
Denki: 8000-7500
"Reginald knew Kaminari would try something, so he put Torrential Reborn facedown so he could bring him monster back." Rio said with a smile. "That's my big brother."
"But even if he did that, Kaminari's monster can still attack." Toru pointed out. "Does he have a plan for that." Rio simply stayed silent, watching the Duel.
"Not…..a bad…..move." Kaminari said while standing up, shaking off the holographic water. "But I can still attack. Thunder Spark, let him have it!" Opening its mouth, Thunder Spark Dragon unleashed a large bolt of blue lightning, striking Shocktopus before it exploded. Reginald scowled a bit at the damage, but otherwise, he stood strong.
Reginald: 8000-7200
"GOOD ONE, KAMINARI!" Mineta shouted proudly.
"THANKS PAL!" Kaminari responded while throwing him a thumbs up.
*Crack*
A sudden crack appeared from the ground…...before pink tentacles shot out, wrapping around Thunder Spark Dragon. Everyone watched in shock as Shocktopus returned, wrapping itself around the XYZ monster. "WHAT THE HECK?!" Mina shouted with a gasp.
"I guess you don't know Shocktopus' special ability." Reginald said with a tiny smirk. "If you destroy it in battle, it sticks to your monster, drains all its attack points and keep it from changing positions. So thanks for attacking." The fish-type monster latched onto Thunder Spark Dragon's side, draining it of its power.
Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon. Att: 2400-0
'Awww crap, I should've known dammit!' Kaminari shouted mentally. He glanced at Mineta, who mouthed 'you got this.' 'Okay, chill dude. It's just the first turn. You can come back from this.' He examined his hand before grabbing two cards. "I end my turn with two facedowns. You're up."
Reginald said nothing as he drew his next card. He scanned it before adding it to his hand, grabbing another card. "I summon Depth Shark in attack mode." A large metallic like shark with red eyes and an angler fish-like appendage hanging from its forehead.
Depth Shark: LV 5. Att: 1400/Def: 0
"Since I don't have any monsters on the field, I can summon Depth Shark without making a sacrifice." Reginald then inserted another card in his Duel Disk, revealing a spell card with an image of three sharks swimming out of a vortex. "I play the spell card, Shark Immersion."
*ZAP*
Shark let out a grunt as blue electricity shocked his entire body. "What's going on?!" Syrus said in disbelief.
Reginald: 7200-6700
"Because I used Shark Immersion…...I can summon another Shark monster from my hand that's at least one level lower than the Shark on my field. Not only that, but the new monster gets one more level, so I summon Metabo-Shark!" A vortex of water shot out of the ground, allowing a massive light blue shark with four flippers and a dark grin on its face.
Metabo-Shark: LV 4-5. Att: 1800/Def: 500
"To willingly take damage in order to summon another monster, while risky, is an impressive tactic." Tenya said with a nod.
"And since he weakened Kaminari's Dragon, it'll be easier to hit him for damage." Syrus said in an excited tone.
"T-That's pretty cool." Kaminari said with a 'confident' grin. "I still won't lose."
"We'll see about that." Reginald said before he raised his arm in the air. "Now I Overlay my level five Depth Shark and Metabo-Shark!" Both fish types transformed into blobs of blue energy as they entered the Overlay Network. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network! I XYZ summon…..Shark Fortress!" The Overlay Network exploded as a large figure slowly began to rise from it. Kaminari gulped nervously as a massive olive green shark-like floating fortress appeared.
Shark Fortress: Rank 5. Att: 2400/Def: 1800
"Okay, THAT is pretty hardcore." Jiro admitted.
"With 2400 attack points, Kastle will take a big chunk from Kaminari's life points." Tsu said, her interested peaked by Reginald's water themed deck.
"I hope he has something to protect his monster." Ochaco said with a slightly worried tone.
"Shark Fortress, attack Thunder Spark Dragon with Hyperion Bombardment!" Several missiles appeared from both sides of Shark Fortress before it fired all of them.
"Nice attack…" Kaminari admitted…...before he grinned. "But I have a plan! Activate trap card, Lumenize!" One of his facedowns ross, revealing an image of a monster being covered by light shot by an angelic monster. "When you attack one of my monsters, that attack is stopped and my monster gets your monster's attack points until the end of my next turn!" A wall of light appeared in front of Thunder Spark Dragon, blocking Shark Fortress' attack. Then, the wall began to transfer the residual energy back into Thunder Spark Dragon.
Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon: Att: 0-2400
"Cool! Not only did he stop his attack, but now Kaminari's monster has some extra points!" Toru exclaimed before she nudged Rio. "You like what you see?"
"Reginald isn't done." Rio said rather confidently.
"Not bad, not bad at all." Reginald admitted. "You've got some talent, Kaminari."
"You…...you really think so?" Kaminari asked in joy.
"But…" Reginald grabbed another one of his cards, inserting it in his Duel Disk. "It isn't enough. I activate the quick play spell, Double or Nothing!" A spell card with an image of slot machine appeared in front of him, causing Izuku and Tenya to gasp.
"What? What's wrong with the card Kastle played?" Syrus asked in a confused tone.
"Double or Nothing is a really powerful card, though not many people play it because of its conditions." Izuku said, writing on his notepad.
"It allows a monster whose attack was negated to attack again, only with double its attack points." Tenya said with a serious tone. "During one of my duels, my opponent used it against me when I stopped one of his attacks." Syrus ooh'd in response, fully understanding the spell card's effect. Shark Fortress began to glow a bright aura, increasing its power.
Shark Fortress: Att: 2400-4800
'OH CRAP, HE KNEW KAMINARI WOULD TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS!' Mienta thought while clapping his cheeks in horror.
"Where were we? Oh yeah, I was attacking your dragon again!" Hearing its Duelist's order, Shark Fortress once again fired several missiles at Thunder Spark Dragon. The XYZ could not hold out as it was engulfed in a collection of explosions. Kaminari crossed his arms as the force from the explosion pushed him back slightly.
Denki: 7500-5100
"I end my turn with a card facedown." Reginald said as a card appeared in front of him.
'Okay, that was a little setback. I can still do this.' Kaminari thought while fixing his collar, drawing his next card. When he looked at it, he smiled widely. 'YES! This is exactly what I needed. Hope you're watching Rio, because this duel will be over in a minute.'
'Come on pal, you got this…..' Mineta thought while holding onto the railing tightly.
"First, I play my facedown trap, Limit Reverse!" Kaminari's facedown ross, revealing an image of Swordsman of Landstar standing in the middle of the graveyard slot of a Duel Disk. "Now, I can summon a monster with 1000 points or less from my graveyard, but if I switch it from attack to defense, it goes back. So give a warm welcome to Brohunder!" A luminous light shined onto the field before Brohunder reappeared, giving everyone a thumbs up.
Brohunder: LV 4. Att: 900/Def: 400
"Next, I summon one of my favorite monsters, the all powerful, all adorable….WATTFOX!" A surge of lightning began to run across the ground, causing everyone to cover their eyes. Soon, it died out, and a new monster stood in the middle. It was….a little yellow fox with a green w-shaped visor and red orb hands and feet, along with a cute little red bowtie.
Wattfox: LV 2. Att: 800/Def: 100
The new monster began to box a bit, growling at Reginald and his Shark Fortress just to intimidate them.
….only…...it had the wrong effect on everyone.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" The girls watching the duel couldn't help but coo in response to the summoning. Who could blame them since it was just SO DAMN CUTE!
"This is…..a nice change." Syrus said reluctantly.
"Yes, but as we all know: we should never underestimate a monster, no matter how…...small they are." Tenya said with a professional tone, though it was clear even he was baffled by the new monster.
"How cool…." Izuku muttered while watching the new monster.
"He may look all cute and innocent, but don't think he won't bring the pain." Kaminari said while wagging his finger. "Now, Wattfox will give Brohunder a little tune up!" Wattfox hoped in the air before transforming into two green rings. Brohunder quickly followed suit, turning into four white stars. "Thunder and lightning clash to create an all new monster, one that'll leave you shocked! I Synchro summon….WATTCHIMERA!" The green rings erupted in a pillar of pure light.
*RRRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR*
Everyone aside from Reginald gasped in shock as an all new monster landed on the field, its glowing red eyes glaring at the XYZ monster. The new monster was a blue and yellow striped chimera with a red mane, long yellow wings and a dark blue snake for a tail.
Wattchimera: LV 6. Att: 1400/1200
"Scary…" Ochaco, Mina and Toru all muttered in unison while Tsu and Rio simply watched in curiosity.
"An impressive monster indeed. I wonder what this new Synchro monster has for Kaminari." Tenya said while fixing his glasses.
"Must…..make…..note…." Izuku said as he flipped the page of his notepad to write a new note.
"So, you can Synchro summon too. Not bad." Reginald said with an unalarming tone. "Too bad your monster isn't strong enough to stop mine."
"That's true….but who says I'm going to attack your Shark?" Kaminari said with a grin, getting a raised brow from Reginald. "But before I do that, I'm gonna activate this spell, Wattcine!" A spell card with an image of two blue orbs with yellow lightning coursing inside of them. "Next, I'll activate my Wattchimera's special ability, which lets me attack you directly!"
"What?" Reginald said in surprise as some of the other students gasped in response. Wattchimera spread its wings before taking flight. Shark Fortress fired several missiles at it, only for it to dodge effortlessly. The Synchro monster then crashed into Reginald's chest in full force, causing him to fall to the ground.
"REGINALD!" Rio shouted in concern.
Reginald: 6700-5300
As if that attack wasn't bad enough, green lightning shot out of Kaminari's spell card and struck its owner, making him smile even more.
Denki: 5100-6500
"Woah, what was that?" Syrus said, bouncing a bit in place.
"Hehehehe….." The trio turned their heads, only to see Mineta sliding next to them with a grin. "That's the beauty of Kaminari's Thunder deck, more specifically, his Watt monsters."
"Watt monsters?" Izuku asked curiously.
"I believe I've heard of that archetype. Yes, it's a deck that contains monsters that can attack directly." Tenya added with a small nod. "And that spell card?"
"Whenever his Watt monsters hit his opponent with damage, Kaminari gets life points equal to that damage." Mineta said, smiling at his roommate. "It's a pretty good combo if you think about it."
"If you think I'm done, then you're wrong! Because Wattchimera hit you for damage, you have to put one card in your hand on the top of your deck!" Kaminari said proudly while pointing a finger at Reginald. All the purple haired male did was scowl a bit before he placed one of his last two cards on top of his Deck. "And with that, I end my turn!" Kaminari felt proud. He was able to not only damage Reginald Kastle, but also gain back some of his life points. If this kept up, then victory would be his and he and Rio will be able to go out tomorrow.
Yes, HE WAS GOING TO WIN!
"I draw." Reginald calmly drew the top card of his deck without looking at it, having already known what it was. He then let out a small smirk. "That was a good plan, attacking my directly and then getting back some lost points. I don't think I've heard dueled anyone who used that stratedy during Regionals."
"Hey, thank yo-wait, what?" Kaminari said, his smiling disappearing.
"Yeah, Regionals had a lot of different duelists, but no one like you." Reginald said, his smirk slightly growing.
"He…." Syrus said with a stutter.
"S-Said…." Tenya stuttered, trying to fix his glasses with a shaky hand.
"R-R-Regionals?" Izuku finished, dropping his notepad and pen out of shock.
"Oh…...CRAP!" Mineta shouted while scratching his head furiously. "I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW KASTLE WAS A REGIONAL DUELIST! THIS RUINS THE WHOLE PLAN!"
"Plan?" Izuku, Tenya and Syrus said in unison
"Now, I think it's time I end this." Reginald said while aiming a hand at his facedown as it ross, revealing a spell card with an image of a white gift with a red bow tie around it. "I activate XYZ Gift! With this, I can use both of Shark Fortress' Overlay Units to draw two cards." Both of Shark Fortress' Overlay Units disappeared as Reginald drew two cards. He looked at the two new cards before activating one of them. "Then, I play Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two cards." Like before, he drew two cards from his deck. "I summon Double Fin Shark in attack mode!" Emerging next to Shark Fortress was a sizeable red and blue shark.
Double Fin Shark: LV 4. Att: 1000/Def: 1200
"And when I summon Double Fin Shark, I can summon a level 3 or 4 fish type monster from my graveyard, so I'm bringing back Shocktopus!" The ground cracked open before Shocktopus crawled back to the surface.
Shocktopus: LV 4. Att: 1600/Def: 800
"I play the spell card, Monster Reborn!" Reginald activates the same card Izuku used during his Practical Duel. "With it, I'm bringing back Metabo-Shark!" A bright light appeared on the field before Shark's monster returned.
Metabo-Shark: LV 4. Att: 1800/Def: 500
"He's about to XYZ summon." Izuku said as he leaned in with excited eyes. And like he said, all three of Reginald's monsters turned into blobs of blue energy.
"I Overlay level 4 Double Fin Shark, Shocktopus and Metabo-Shark. With this three monsters, I build the Overlay Network and XYZ summon one of the deadliest sharks in the seven seas….I SUMMON NUMBER 32: SHARK DRAKE!: The Overlay Network exploded as a stormcloud slowly formed. Kaminari couldn't help but gulp as he heard…..a low growl coming from the cloud.
Along with a glowing pair of yellow eyes.
The cloud disappeared, and what was in the middle of it actually caused some of the spectators to step back in fear. Reginald's newest monster was a hulking bipedal shark with burgundy scales, dark blue fins, two large fins going upwards and two long arms. The number 32 was glowing on the left side of the XYZ monster's chest.
Number 32: Shark Drake: Rank 4. Att: 2800/Def: 2100
"Holy crap, do you see the size of that thing?!" Mineta shouted while shivering like a wet dog. "And those teeth are so freaking sharp!"
"This is why I don't watch any of those shark movies." Syrus said while shrinking down.
"What an incredible monster!" Tenya said in a shocked tone, though he was able to hide his fear rather well. "Midoriya, what do you think….its….ability….is?" When he turned to the green haired male…..he saw him draw a small sketch of Shark Drake. Sometimes he felt a little….put off with his friend's behavior.
"Okay….n-now I'm a little scared." Toru said while shaking in her shoes. Ochaco and Tsu were also rather frightened by Reginald's XYZ monster(mostly Tsu since…...frogs could get eaten by sharks). Though they didn't show it, even Mina and Jiro were rather terrified with the new monster. The only one in the girl's group who wasn't affected was Rio, who had a small smirk on her face.
"N-N-Nice monster. R-Really scary." Kaminari said with a small voice crack, his grin flattering a bit.
"That's good, because I'm not done." Reginald said while putting a card in his spell and trap card zone. "I activate Aqua Jet, which gives Shark Drake another 1000 points." Twin orange turbines appeared on the field before it attached onto Shark Drake, causing it to roar proudly in the air.
Number 32: Shark Drake: Att: 2800-3800
"Now Shark Drake, attack Wattchimera! Submercival Rage!" Shark Drake's eyes glowed for a brief moment before it opened its mouth, launching a blue energy wave in the shape of a large shark. Wattchimera attempted to launch a bolt of lightning at Shark Drake's attack, though unfortunately, Shark Drake's attack overpowered its open before it exploded. Kaminari screamed as he fell on his back.
Denki: 6500-4100
"Even if he attacks with Shark Fortress, Kaiminari will still have life points…...right?" Syrus asked his friends, though they simply kept watching.
"Come on Kaminari! You still got this!" Mineta shouted while punching the air.
"Too bad he won't get that chance." Reginald said with a hand in his pocket. "Because I destroyed your monster with Shark Drake, its special ability activates, forcing you to summon your monster back, only it loses 1000 points." Everyone aside from Rio gasped in horror as one of Shark Drake's blue orbs disappeared. A dark portal appeared on the field before Wattchimera flew out it, though it looked worse for where.
Wattchimera: Att: 1400-400
"Not only that…...but now Shark Drake gets to attack again." Fear flashed in Kaminari's eyes as Shark Drake tackled Wattchimera in full force, causing it to explode.
Denki: 4100-700
"And finally….." Reginald closed his eyes before opening them once again, giving a cold look. "Shark Fortress, finish this!" Shark Fortress roared as it unleashed a barrage of missiles from its sides.
"Oh shit." Was all Kaminari was able to say before the missiles engulfed him in a massive explosion.
Denki: 700-0. Winner: Reginald Kastle.
Both of Reginald's XYZ monsters disappeared as the damage caused by the duel monsters faded out of existence. The only ones left were Reginald and the defeated form of Denki.
"That was one hell of a comeback."
"Yeah, I know right?"
"Too bad for Kaminari though. Dueling a second place Regional Duelist was never gonna be easy." One by one, the spectators began to walk away, with only Rio, her group of friends and the trio of males left.
"I can't believe it…...I was so close." Kaminari said while lying on the ground,a deep frown on his face. "What did I do wrong?" He heard footsteps in front of him as a shadow blocked the afternoon sun. "Good duel Kastle, you win."
"Get up." Reginald said, much to Kaminari's confusion.
"Huh?"
"I said get up. You look like a loser lying down like that." He retorted in irritation as Kaminari stood up. The purple haired male sighed while putting his hands in his pockets. "You aren't…..the worst Duelist I've seen. Hell, your deck's strong as it is. Just work on it and maybe you'll be able to enter Regionals."
"Y-You really think so?" Kaminari asked in genuine surprise. He half expected Reginald Kastle to just make fun of him…...which he kinda did. But still, he gave him actual advice on how to improve. This guy….was so DAMN COOL! "Thanks dude. I really appreciate it." He then realized how perfect of an opportunity this was to ask his question. "Say Kastle, can I ask you something?" Reginald raised a brow, but he listened regardless. "Can…...I ask your sister on a date?"
….well that was some question.
"What?" Reginald said flatly.
"I mean…...I wanted to ask your sister out, but I thought if I did it behind your back, you'd kick my ass." Kaminari admitted while rubbing the back of his head. "So…..I tried to make you like me this whole week and I thought this duel would….prove something."
Reginald Kastle looked at the Thunder deck user before he began massaging his temple. "If you wanted to ask Rio out, then do it. I don't care who she dates."
"SERIOUSLY?!" Kaminari shouted in pure shock. He didn't need to both Reginald, buy him muffins and lose in the arcade on purpose(okay, that last one was a lie. The guy was a pro at fighting games.) "So I can ask her?"
"Knock yourself out." Reginald said with a sigh before he began to walk past Kaminari, only to stop a foot away. "But if you hurt her, I'll kill you." The blonde male widened his eyes in shock, only to hear a slight chuckle from Reginald. "I'm kidding. Do whatever you want." And with that, the Shark deck user walked away.
"Oh Kaminari~~~~" Turning his head, Kaminari grinned as he saw Mina and Toru dragging Rio towards him, with Ochaco and Jiro behind them. "You have something you wanna say to our friend here?" Mina said with a splitting grin as she pushed Rio in front of her.
"So Kastle, what did you think of my duel?" Kaminari asked confidently.
"I thought you were…..good." Rio admitted with a friendly smile. "Sorry if my brother was a little…..rough."
"Nah, it's fine. He and I are pretty tight." Kaminari said while pounding his chest. "So anyways, you doing anything tomorrow? Cause I have these tickets for this new action movie and I wanted to know if you'd want to go with me…..as a date." He felt confident: the girl he wanted to go out with saw how skilled he was and even how he was able to get the jump on her brother. What kind of girl would reject him? He's got this in the bag.
"Oh…...w-well…" Rio began to twirl her hair in a cute way that would make any guy blush. She then gave him an angelic smile, one that could brighten any room. "Thanks for the invite, but….I'm not looking for a boyfriend now."
…...huh?
"Plus…..I don't think you're my type."
…...huh?
"But we can still be friends."
Three strikes, HE'S OUT!
The yellow haired male stayed in place, solid as stone with the same smile on his face. It was as if Medusa herself had given him a sharp gaze.
"Kaminari?" Rio asked, only to get no response. "Are you okay?" She gave a concerned expression as she waved a hand in front of him, only he didn't respond.
"I think you broke him." Toru said while letting out a sad sigh. "It looks like we won't see any romance today."
"Told you she wouldn't date him." Jiro said with a shrug before she walked away.
"Should we…..do something?" Ochaco asked Tsu with a frown.
"I don't think there's anything we can do, ribbet." Tsu said bluntly before she followed Jiro, with Ochaco not too far behind.
'Okay…..well, I'll see you in class." Rio said with an awkward wave before she and Mina walked away. The pink skinned female looked back at Kaminari before patting him on the shoulder with a sympathetic look on her face.
"Better luck next time." She said before running off to find her friends.
A single tumbleweed bounced on the ground as Kaminari continued to stand petrified.
"Ummm, guys? I don't think he's okay." Syrus pointed out as he and his friends walked up to Kaminari.
"The loss must have shocked him to the core." Tenya said while robotically patting Kaminari on the back. "I've had my fair share of losses, but you must not allow yourself to feel like this. As your classmates, we will do whatever I can to help you through this troubling time!"
"Iida, I don't know how we can help him." Izuku said nervously while putting his notepad in his pocket.
"No one can help him now." Mineta said while falling on his knees, wiping away his tears. "He's feeling the worst pain a man could ever feel…" He raised his head, allowing more tears to run down his cheeks as he clenched his fist. "HEARTBREAK!"
If one was to look closely at Kaminari…..they could see a small tear running down his left eye.
Operation: Sibling Date….was a complete failure.
What? Did you really think I would end chapter on a good note? Nah, nah, nah, nah. I gotta be realistic. Be honest: How many of us were rejected by our crushes, who said they would like to be just friends?
I don't hate Denki at all, he's an alright character who is improving. The characters I don't like in My Hero are Bakugo(who won't appear for a long while) and Mineta. I know it's cruel to have a chapter like this for a character like Denki…..but at the same time, it fits his character well.
I would like to thank Earth Dragon Arnighte for helping me with Denki's Watt a Shock deck(he called it that, not me). He has been beta reading my stories for over a year, and I would like to thank him for it. Go check out his profile for some good stories like Dragon Heart, which I proof read. Hopefully this chapter was a nice shift away from Izuku since good stories focus on different characters. I will do this a few times, so I hope you guys look forward to them.
Now here is the original card I used in this chapter.
Shark Immersion
Normal Spell Card.
Effect: Pay 500 life points. Special summon one 'Shark' monster from your hand that's level is less than a 'Shark' monster on your field, and increase its level by one.
