Yuki's POV
With the threat of the Dark Signers over things went back to normal for a while. With the world in a state of calm I made a choice, Leo and Luna were both more outgoing now, Luna especially, I decided that it was time to stop keeping them at home, and enroll them at the local duel school. They were nervous at first, heck so was I, but they fit in well. I think it helped that Akiza started going back to school there too so having an upperclassman that they can depend on for troubles helps. The only downside is that the house is much quieter during the day, as a result I've been a little bored.
There's another Duel Cup coming up and Yusei, Jack and Crow are planning to enter, so at least that'll give me something to do. I did know one thing though, if the Gods didn't pull me away from here it meant there was still evil on the horizon, Happiness said as much. And it seemed it was coming faster than we'd have liked, just the other night Yusei dueled with some night rider who was attacking people, and that was after Trudge got whopped by the same "Ghost". But since then things have calmed down a bit for now, which is good.
"How was school you guys?" I asked picking them up.
"Boring!" Leo jumped into the car.
"It was fine." Luna smiled taking her seat "There's a new Vice-Principal and he's kinda a jerk."
"Really what's wrong?" I asked starting to drive away.
"He's just, a jerk who doesn't like us." She sighed "I don't know why he teaches anyway since he clearly hates kids."
"You used to be a teacher right Yuki?" Leo said "You should totally come in and teach him a lesson."
"Our teaching days are behind us." Cleo said taking over a bit.
"Don't worry I'm sure it's no big deal." I smiled.
We got home and I made dinner, after that the kids did their homework and we headed off to bed.
Later
"EXPELLED!" I yelled kicking down the door of the school "How can they be getting expelled their grades are perfect they don't start fights, their good kids, who do I yell at!"
"Jeez calm down." Cleo laughed.
I had gotten a sudden phone call saying that I needed to come pick up Leo and Luna since they were getting expelled.
"Yuki!" Luna yelped.
"Since when have grades ever mattered at Duel Academy." I told him "Dueling Schools are good for teaching the basics but after that it depends on the individual to find themselves, having high or low grades doesn't mean you're a better or worse duelist. Especially when it's about kids this young."
"It doesn't matter." He said "They've not only low-level grades but low-level cards too."
"So, what." I said "A weak card is strong in the right hand. I used to teach you know, so we'll settle this the hard way."
I held out my ringed hand "We'll duel for it, if I win the kids stay I'll even make it easy for you, I won't use a monster that starts with more than 1500 attack points."
Later
"I'm going first." I started my nonsense duel with Vice-Principal Heitmann "I summon Fox Fire in attack mode."
Fox Fire: LVL 2 ATK 300 DEF 200
"I play two facedowns and end the turn." I told him.
"It's here." He drew his first card "I summon Ancient Gear Statue!"
Ancient Gear Statue: LVL 2 ATK 500 DEF 800
"So Duel Academy is still using that deck huh?" Cleo laughed.
"I then activate the magic card Machine Duplication!" he said "It summons two machine type monsters with attack of 500 or lower from my deck, in this case Ancient Gear Statues! By releasing them I can special summon Ancient Gear Golems from my hand!"
Three large stone and metal giants rose up tall.
"Damn." I hummed.
Ancient Gear Golem: LVL 8 ATK 3000 DEF 3000
The first Golem attacked and destroyed my Fox Fire but it let my trigger the trap Backfire to deal 500 points of damage.
Heitmann 4000 to 3500
Yuki and Cleo 4000 to 1300
"I play my other face down Level Limit Area B! Any level four or higher monster is changed to defense mode while this card it face up on the field." I said.
"Tsk, I end the turn." The Vice Principal said.
"Good." Cleo and I smiled "We're done here! During the standby phase after being destroyed Fox Fire is revived on my side of the field. Then we play Double Summon so we can summon twice this turn."
"I summon Raging Flame Sprite!" Cleo followed up.
Raging Flame Sprite: LVL 3 ATK 100 DEF 200
"And Ultimate Baseball Kid!"
Ultimate Baseball Kid: LVL 3 ATK 500 DEF 1000
"Baseball kid gains 1000 attack for each face up Fire monster on the field except itself." I said.
Ultimate Baseball Kid 500 to 2500 ATK
"Then I play Molten Destruction which gives all FIRE type's an extra 500 ATK!" I smiled.
UBK 2500 to 3000 ATK
Fox Fire 300 to 800 ATK
Raging Flame Sprite 100 to 600 ATK
"I play Pot of Greed now." I drew two cards "Then Swords of Revealing Light to stop you from attacking for three turns, oh and I equip Ultimate Baseball Kid with Mist Body"
"First destroy one of his Gear Golems!" Cleo yelled as our monster swung a flaming baseball to crumble his statue.
"Then Raging Flame Sprite is allows to attack you directly!" I said as our creature flew in.
Heitmann 3500 to 2900
"Since my Flame Sprites attack was successful she gains 1000 ATK points!" I smiled.
Raging Flame Sprite 600 ATK to 1600 ATK
"I end my turn, but you can't attack." I smirked "Oh no I just realized when I attack next turn you'll be hit and Flame Sprite will gain another 1000 ATK, you're going to lose to me deck of weak monsters who weren't even higher than level three.
Later
"It's not about level or base stat points." I told the kids "What's important is using your cards right and trusting in your deck."
"You were awesome Yuki!" Luna cheered.
"When aren't I awesome." I said smugly.
"Alright back it down." Cleopatra laughed.
