In the Slifer Red dorm, Syrus was trying to pray to Slifer so that he could pass his exams today, wearing a white headband holding three copies of Monster Reborn. "Please, please, please. Please help me pass my exams today. Otherwise, I'll be stuck in Slifer Red forever. Not that there is a problem with red, it looks good on you Slifer. I just want to get into Ra Yellow, so please give me a sign that you'll help." At this, an alarm clock that was placed directly next to Jaden went off. "Slifer?!" Syrus yelled in shock. "Oh. It's only the alarm clock. And, of course, Jaden sleeps right through it." Syrus walked up to Jaden and shook him, trying to wake him up. "How can he be so relaxed when there is so much at stake? Come on Jaden. Wake up. You'll be in trouble if you miss the exams."
Suddenly, Jaden shot his arms out, knocking over Syrus. "Wrong, because I play a trap!" Jaden said in his sleep.
"Why can't he ever be in defense position when I wake him up?" Syrus complained as he got up.
"Is it morning already?" Rainbow Dash said as she woke up, still a bit drowsy. "So, what's happening, Syrus?"
"Oh, I'm trying to get ready for exams, which I need to pass in order to pass onto the higher dorms," Syrus explained to Rainbow.
"Oh, those exams. Wake me up when it gets to the dueling portion of them," Rainbow Dash boasted.
"Are you serious?! We need to take them seriously. First is the written exam and then we have our dueling exam. If we cannot pass, our chances of getting to better dorms go down," Syrus was worried.
"Oh, I am taking the dueling portion of the exam seriously. I plan to duel Jaden or Twilight in order to prove my skills as a duelist, not that I need to," Rainbow Dash explained.
"Look, I don't have time to argue with you Rainbow Dash. I need to get to the exams on time. Please, wake up Jaden before you leave!" Syrus called out as he ran out of the dorm.
Jaden and Rainbow Dash were sprinting down the road to the main campus, hoping to try and get to class on time for the written exam, even if they personally didn't care for them. As they ran, they passed an old lady trying to push her van up the road, only to be struggling as she did so. The two of them noticed this display and decided, rather than get to class on time, to help this lady with her van. After all, they were never really on time for class anyway.
The two started to help the lady push her van up the road. "Here. Let us give you a hand," Jaden offered as he started to push the van up the road, with Rainbow Dash helping as well.
"Oh, why thank you. You must be from the auto club," the lady said, relieved to be getting help.
"Don't let our red blazers fool ya. We are just two students willing to help and do the right thing," Rainbow Dash explained.
"You two are so sweet. I'll be sure to remember this," the lady said.
Meanwhile, at the house where Dylan and Dolly were staying…
Dolly was sliding down the railing on the stairs, landing on the ground floor on one paw. "Aw, yeah! We get to go on a field trip today! Hey, Dylan? You gonna go and have fun or are ya gonna act like a total nerd again?" Dolly mocked Dylan as he was wearing a duel disk on his front right paw, though not without some difficulty.
"Nerd? Please, Dolly. I am merely getting myself ready for our field trip. I get to choose this time and I've decided to have us watch the dueling exams for the freshman class in a few hours," Dylan countered.
"Wait. We have to watch that boring game of yours as a field trip?! Seriously?!" Dolly fell back onto the floor overdramatically. "Dude, can we go out and do something that is actually, I don't know, fun?! This is going to be a terrible day."
"Hey, come on. Duel Monsters is a fun game. Once you get used to it it is actually pretty fun, like Poodlewolf."
"Yeah because comparing Duel Monsters to Poodlewolf is totally going to get me to like the game," Dolly sarcastically snarked.
"Well, goodbye pups," their mom said farewell to the pups.
"See you after work," their father gave his farewell after he broke out of the puppy pile that was hugging him.
"Wait! Mom, dad, please let Dylan have our field trip be somewhere else. No one here will show any interest in the Duel Monsters junk. Please tell him no," Dolly pleaded with her parents.
"Well, Dolly, I don't quite see any problems with the Duel Monsters field trip. So long as none of you interfere with the students, you are allowed inside of the main campus building. Just give the game a shot," the mom gently rejected Dolly.
"Yeah, like your mother said. Well, goodbye pups. I love you!" the father said as both parents left their home.
"Aw, nuts," Dolly grumbled to herself.
"Well, looks like you're stuck with us then," Dylan said.
"Look, you want to take our 97 siblings on a field trip to see Duel Monsters? Fine. Just don't expect me to come with you," Dolly said as she left the house, using the paw scanner to open the door. "I'll just have my own fun." Dolly ran out the door, with it closing behind her.
"Well, I guess it is just the rest of us then, pups," Dylan remarked.
"Where are we going?" one puppy asked.
"Yeah. Tell us where we are going," another puppy asked.
"Please let it be somewhere close to the sea," Destiny, a female pup wearing a pink heart collar, said.
"Even better. We're going to see some Duel Monster duels," Dylan answered.
Immediately, everyone else proceeded to groan in disappointment.
"Dylan, no offense, but I don't think that most of our siblings want to see duels," Dawkins said.
"Come on. The game isn't that bad. You'll see Dawkins, by the end of the day there are going to be more puppies interested in this game," Dylan claimed.
"Class, you have 45 minutes left to finish your test," Professor Banner said as the students filled out their tests answer by answer. While everyone was taking their tests, Pharaoh the cat, Spencer the dachshund, and Portia the black poodle walked down the aisles, checking to make sure that no one was cheating. While there were no cheaters, Syrus was sleeping during his exam as he hadn't gotten much sleep the previous night.
As Syrus was sleeping, he was saying answers in his sleep. Soon, he was interrupted by Jaden. "I didn't know this was an oral exam."
"Huh? Jaden?" Syrus mumbled as he woke up. "Rainbow Dash? You're both here."
"Yeah. We got here a bit late, but we're still here. Don't count either of us out yet," Rainbow Dash said over confidently.
"Do you three mind?!" a voice, which belonged to Chazz, yelled to the group. "Some of us actually plan on passing this test."
"Hey, I always plan on passing. It just doesn't always work out that way," Jaden responded.
"I personally don't care much for the written exam," Rainbow Dash bluntly stated.
"Well, you should. Our grades here will affect our dorm ranking at this school," Twilight warned her friend, who was sitting right next to Syrus.
"Oh Jaden, Rainbow Dash? Please come down here and get your exam papers," Professor Banner gently called for the two late students.
"Oh, coming," Jaden called back as he laughed nervously at being called out specifically.
"Me too!" Rainbow Dash called down as well.
"They better be ready. We're fifteen minutes into this. They'll be lucky to even finish," Alexis thought to herself.
"Look at them. Tardy, puerile. It's a shame. They could both be great duelists," Bastion thought. As Rainbow and Jaden grabbed their test papers.
"I hope you know what you're doing, you two," Alexis wished them luck.
Jaden and Rainbow Dash both tried to write down answers for their test. However, their tendency to sleep during class caused the two of them, and Syrus, to fall asleep in the middle of class.
Unbeknownst to most of the students, Dr. Crowler and Clarissa the corgi were watching the students take the exam from the partially open door. "Go ahead Jaden. You and your friends go ahead and nap." Crowler deviously said, much to the confusion of Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy, who were able to hear what the doctor was saying. " But, even though you can sleep through your written exam, you won't stand a chance once your field test begins. It'll be a nightmare!" Crowler and Clarissa laughed wickedly at the upcoming embarrassment that Jaden was going to go through because of them.
Dolly was running fast across the campus, planning to have a fun day with her friends rather than watching a boring card game. She loved her family, but she didn't want to watch a game she lacked interest in with them, especially not Dylan. She went into the main building, looking for Roxy the rottweiler. However, when she got to the card shop where Roxy currently was, she was behind the steel door and couldn't interact with her. She then went to go look for Snowball the white pomeranian, only to find that she was spending time with her owner, Chancellor Sheppard. Left without much to do, she debated just grabbing her skateboard and skating around outside. However, on her way out, she ran into a familiar face.
"Oh. Hello there, Dolly," a husky named Hansel introduced himself to her.
"Oh, hello Hansel," Dolly said in a dreamy voice, thoroughly enamoured with the husky. "Looks like I found out what I'm doing with my day." Dolly then said aloud, "Hey Hansel, what are you doing today? Because whatever it is, I am totally on board with joining you."
"Well, I was planning on watching the duels that are part of the field test. You know, Duel Monsters is a really fun game to play and I don't have many people to talk to about it," Hansel explained.
Dolly's eyes went wide. On one hand she would be able to spend time with her crush, just the two of them. On the other hand, she would have to feign interest in a game she doesn't care for in order to spend time with him. And, to say that it would be worth abandoning her family to spend time with Hansel would be another thing altogether. "I-I-I-I-I'm into Duel Monsters too, Hansel," Dolly lied nervously. "I've just gotten into the game a few weeks ago. Maybe I can learn more about the game from you."
"That sounds good Dolly. Duel Monsters really is a great game to get into, and I would be willing to help you learn," Hansel accepted the offer to help Dolly.
"Great! Now, let's go see how the duels will go," the lovestruck dog muttered to Hansel.
Eventually, the written exam had ended. "Okay class. The written part of the exam is now over. Please walk, do not run, in order to pick up some of the newest rare cards," Professor Banner calmly excused his students.
"Did he say rare cards?!" one student yelled out.
"Oh dear," Banner shook his head as most of the students rushed out of the exam room.
"Chazz didn't you hear?" the blue haired kid said.
"There are a buncha rare cards in the store-," the brown haired kid tried to inform Chazz.
"So, go fetch," Chazz simply answered. As the two ran off to get some rare cards, Bastion and Twilight were trying to wake up Rainbow, Jaden, and Syrus.
"Um, I think that the three of you would like to wake up," Twilight said as she gently shook Syrus.
Suddenly, Syrus woke up. "Wait, what just happened? Oh, let me guess. I failed didn't I? I knew it. I'm a complete failure," Syrus wailed as tears rolled down his face.
"Well, Sy, if they had a grade for melodrama, you'd get an A. Question is, where is everyone?: Jaden wondered.
"Everyone went to the card shack in order to get some new cards. A bunch of rare cards are available and everyone wants to add them to their decks before the field test," Bastion explained.
"And no one expalined any of this to us because?" Rainbow Dash bitterly questioned.
"Because they want them for themselves, I'm afraid. Sad thing is, most students are not willing to share the new cards with other people," Twilight answered. "Lucky for you guys, Bastion and I are happy with our decks and are willing to share this knowledge with you guys."
"Well, you guys, we better get going if we want to get some rare cards," Jaden decided. "Thanks for the help, you two!" Jaden called as he and his friends ran off.
Meanwhile, outside of the card shop, many students were banging on the metal screen door blocking entrance to the shop. Eventually, a bunch of armored guards arrived. "Cards. Cards. Cards. Cards." the students chanted.
"Hey children. Looking for these?" A man wearing black pants, a white shirt, and with a white and black hat, who was holding a briefcase, said as the guards formed two straight lines between him. He walked towards the steel door as the excited students looked on. As he lifted the door and entered the store, the man said, "Come and get it." The man lowered the metal door behind him. Everyone's excitement was short lived, however, as the briefcase turned out to be empty.
"What happened to all the cards?" An Obelisk Blue student asked.
"You know the rules. First come, first served," the counter girl explained.
"And I was first, so I took every one," A man wearing a black cloak revealed. Behind him was Clarissa, who laughed at the misfortune of the students. As they left, all of the students complained at the fact that they couldn't get new cards for their decks.
"Come on, you guys. Let's make tracks!" Jaden yelled out to his two friends that were following him. "Better...get in line…" Jaden suddenly got confused at the sight of the store being empty.
"You don't think that they could have…" Syrus muttered.
"Ran out already?!" The duo of Syrus and Jaden yelled out, as Rainbow Dash remained behind them..
"Uh, excuse me, counter girl? You still have some cards, right?" Jaden asked, much to the counter girl's initial frustration.
"Yeah, sure we do, but only regular packs, though," the counter girl calmly responded as she got out one green pack. "Here ya go."
"We said some, not one," Jaden and Syrus said at once.
"I'm done for. I failed my written test, and now I'm gonna fail my duel test because I can't upgrade my deck!" Syrus yelled in misery.
"Well, then Syrus, you take the last card pack," Jaden offered.
"Really? You'd give me the last card pack? Rainbow Dash, Jaden, are you sure?" Syrus was concerned.
"If it makes you feel any better, I'm happy with my deck as is. I just wanted to see what cards were here. So go ahead and take them. There's a good chance they can be of help," Rainbow Dash answered.
"Yeah, Sy. As for me, just go ahead and take them," Jaden generously complied.
"But what if...you fail?" Syrus asked his friend sadly.
"Come on Syrus. I may stumble now and then, but I never fail," Jaden confidently responded.
"Yoohoo, auto club!" the old lady from earlier arrived at the shop.
"Wow, I didn't know you worked here," Jaden was amazed.
"Yeah, owning a store for cards is kinda awesome," Rainbow Dash was impressed.
"Oh, I don't work here. I own here. Cool, huh?" the old lady answered.
"How do you two know her anyway?" Syrus was confused.
"I think it was the carburetor," Jaden vaguely answered.
"Well, to make a long story short, we helped her move her car down the road and helped to fix it," Rainbow Dash explained.
"Here, I have something for you," the old lady said as she was giggling. "Just call it a thank you for your help."
"And then this strange guy shows up and takes all the new rare cards. I mean every one!" the blue haired friend of Chazz said.
"Yeah, so we couldn't get you any Chazz. Sorry," the brown haired friend apologized.
"You wanna know what's sorry? You two, that's what. But it doesn't matter, anyway. No one here can beat me no matter what card he plays," Chazz boasted.
"Unless that duelist happens to be Jaden Yuki," a voice said. Chazz and his friends turned their heads to find the source of the voice.
"Who was that?" Chazz demanded.
"Someone who suspects you hate Jaden Yuki as much as I do," the voice responded. It turned out it was from the man in black from earlier, with Clarissa following after him.
"Hey, that's the sticky fingers who took all the rare cards!" the blue haired kid revealed.
"Cards? What cards? Oh, do you mean these cards?" the man asked as he opened up his cloak, showing the rare cards to the students.
"Wow, talk about dueling in style," the brown haired kid was impressed.
"Talk about having a card up your sleeve," the blue haired kid said, amazed at the rare cards.
The man and Clarissa started to laugh sinisterly, much to the confusion of the Obelisk Blue students."Come on Chazz, what's the matter? Don't recognize me? Well, how about now?" At this, the man removed his hat, revealing himself to be Dr. Crowler to the students, much to their confusion.
"You know, you looked better all covered up," Chazz snarked, which caused Crowler to fall to the ground.
"Well, I have a plan that will have us all look better," Crowler began. "And make Jaden Yuki look like the cut-rate duelist he truly is. I want for you to duel him and beat him using these rare cards."
"But I'm not in the same dorm as him. They won't let me be his opponent," Chazz protested.
"You just leave that to me. You just make sure you use these rare cards to defeat Jaden and embarrass him in front of the entire academy," Crowler said as he laughed wickedly, Clarissa laughing along with him.
"Here we are everyone. The dueling arena!" Dylan introduced the arena to his many siblings. "So, what do you think?"'
"Can we go somewhere else?" Dizzy asked.
"Yeah. I wanna go outside," Diesel, a dalamtian covered with muddy spots, said.
"Outside? Come on. These duels can be legitimately interesting. Just give them a chance," Dylan pleaded with his family.
"Yeah. I think not," Dallas, a dalmatian wearing a pink diamond collar, muttered under her breath.
Meanwhile, at another part of the arena…
"So, what do you think of the testing arena?" Hansel asked Dolly.
"Um, it-it's great," Dolly awkwardly answered.
"Good to hear. I don't know many dogs that are in to this game like I am Dolly. I am grateful to hear you have that passion as well."
"Oh. Okay," Dolly said with a hint of guilt.
The conversation didn't go on for much longer, as another familiar face entered this section of the arena. "Out of the way, coming through. Ugh, I can't believe that so many peasants like those Slifer Reds go to this school." It was Clarissa Corgi, and Dolly was enraged upon seeing the pampered powder puff be here. After all, rarely were you fortunate to not have to deal with her outside of the house.
"Oh, hey Clarissa," Dolly said, trying to hide her anger so not to ward off Hansel. "How are you doing?"
"Oh nothing much. I'm just here to see someone from Obelisk Blue triumph over another student," Clarissa explained. "And to see him crush his opponent and embarrass him in front of the school!" She whispered to Dolly before leaving while laughing, much to Dolly fury as she growled.
"Huh?! I'm dueling an Obelisk and it's Chazz?!" Jaden called out, confused at this setup.
"Yes, Jaden. I know you talk a big game, so I pulled a few strings to make sure that you got the challenge you deserved. I certainly hope that you got enough of the new rare cards to make sure your deck is up to snuff. What's wrong? Aren't you going to thank me?" Crowler explained.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Syrus thought.
"This is obviously a trap. Only a cavalier fool would fall for it," Bastion thought.
Much to everyone's shock, except for Crowler and Chazz, Jaden accepted the duel, "Get your game on Chazz! Now we can finish what we started in Obelisk arena!"
"Yes, and you get to duel in front of the entire school," Crowler said.
"And watch you get slammed by me," Chazz boasted.
"So, which duelist are you hoping wins?" Hansel asked Dolly, in regards to Chazz and Jaden's duel.
"I hope the one in red wins," Dolly quickly responded.
Both duelists placed their decks into their Duel Disks and prepared for their duel as Crowler left the duel arena. "Duel!" both Chazz and Jaden yelled.
"No excuses this time, Chazz!" Jaden said.
"Bring it, Slifer Slacker!" Chazz responded.
"I'll start up this duel. I draw," Jaden began as he drew Winged Kuriboh. "Well, if it isn't my favorite furry friend. You're in for a real treat, Winged Kuriboh. You'll get to see me rain down some serious skills on Chazz. You remember this guy from our last duel, right Chazz? Rise, Elemental Hero Clayman in defense mode!" A hero coated in brown stone clay was summoned onto Jaden's side of the field (800/2000). "He'd like to get reacquainted."
Chazz lightly laughed to himself, "Not after he sees what I have in store for him. Don't think for a second that that overgrown pile of pebbles will protect you against me, Jaden."
As this was going on, Rainbow Dash and her five friends met up with each other and decided to watch the current duel with Syrus and Bastion. "Well, maybe now I can see more of how Jaden duels. I haven't gotten to see much of him duel and if he is as good as everyone says I may want to," Twilight said.
"Well, don't worry. He is as good as others say he is," Rainbow Dash said on Jaden's behalf.
"My turn!" Chazz drew a card and was happy with what he received. "Thanks for the rare card, Crowler. Fresh off the presses, it's the Magical Mallet spell card."
"Alright, so what's it do?" Jaden asked the Obelisk Blue student.
"A redo. Now I can take cards from my hand that I don't want and reshuffle them into my deck." Chazz explained.
"A rare card on the first draw?!" Syrus was shocked.
"And a very dangerous one at that. Now Chazz can choose which cards he wants and which ones he doesn't," Bastion explained with concern.
"I haven't even gotten to the best part! See, I also got to reshuffle Magical Mallet and since I did I'll activate it again to reshuffle and redraw. If I keep redrawing it, I can play it again and again. This really does come in handy when I'm looking for this! Go V-Tiger Jet! Rise, in attack mode!" Chazz cried out as he summoned the mechanical tiger (1600/1800). "But don't think I'm done yet! I activate the spell card Frontline Base! This allows me to summon another monster that is level four or below this turn and I choose W-Wing Catapult!" A blue jet summoned itself to Chazz's field (1300/1500). "Now you two, start your engines. Merge to form WV-Tiger Catapult!" The two machines rose into the air, combining into one large creature (2000/2100). "But I'm not done. I still have his special ability."
"That's not good!" Jaden looked on nervously.
"Are you serious?! Is this guy's turn going to end sometime this century?" Syrus asked in annoyance.
"You see, by discarding one card from my hand, I can switch the battle mode of one of your monsters, which I will do to switch your Clayman to attack mode! Now Tiger Catapult, attack!" The Tiger Catapult launched several missiles out at Clayman, causing a fair amount of damage to Jaden's Life Points.

"My, my, look at this. Looks like Jaden can't play with the big boys after all. I guess he isn't as good as everyone thinks," Crowler stated to Sheppard, who was standing right next to him.
"And I'll finish up with a facedown. It's your turn Jaden," Chazz smugly said.
"Wow, for something I thought was lame, that was actually kinda cool. I better not tell Dylan though. He'd never let me live it down," Dolly thought to herself.
"Yeah, you go and finish up. I'm just getting warmed up," Jaden confidently quipped. Jaden drew his card for this turn. "Here's a hero who can really turn up the heat. Elemental Hero Sparkman in defense mode!" Sprakman crouched down on his knee to defend Jaden's Life Points (1600/1400). "I'll also throw down a facedown."
"Not much he can do with all the rares that Chazz seems to have," Bastion muttered.
"It's just not fair!" Syrus was outraged at Chazz's unfair advantage.
"This is a complete mismatch. How can Jaden fight back if he doesn't know what he's fighting?" Alexis thought to herself.
"My turn now. And, I think I'll summon X-Head Cannon. And, thanks to Frontline's magic, Z-Metal Tank as well," Chazz summoned the two machines, a machine with cannons on his back (1800/1500) and a tank (1500/1300).
"Oh man. X and Z? If I am right, Jaden's chances of winning are about to be much smaller," Twilight said urgently.
"What do you mean his chances will be smaller?" Applejack demanded.
"With those two cards and the card Y-Dragon Head, Chazz can summon XYZ-Dragon Cannon, a very powerful card," Pinkie Pie explained. "I'm not sure if any amount of parties will cheer up Jaden after this.
"Well, knowing Jaden, he'll still find a way. Go, Jaden!" Rainbow Dash encouraged her friend.
"I play the trap card Call of the Haunted in order to summon Y-Dragon Head!" Chazz revived his dragon-like machine (1500/1600).
"It's him!" Rarity was surprised.
"He has it!" Bastion was amazed.
"I discarded him with my Tiger Catapult's special ability. Now, I combine him with X-Head Cannon and Z-Metal Tank in order to create XYZ-Dragon Cannon (2800/2600)!"
"This doesn't look very good," Fluttershy was worried.
"That's an understatement, Fluttershy was it? Chazz now has a total of two monsters with more than 2000 attack points each," Bastion said with worry.
"But wait. There's more. See, people say that two is better than one, but I have to disagree. I merge both of my monsters together to form the VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon!" The two monsters merged together in order to create one ginormous monster (3000/2800). "My monster sure makes your Sparkman look like a heap of spark plugs, or at least he did." As Chazz said this, Sparkman suddenly vanished. "Oops. Did I mention my monster's special ability? See, my monster can banish one of your cards once per turn. And, if you think that was impressive, just wait until you see his attack. My Catapult Cannon can now attack your Life Points directly."
"Don't think so Chazz. I play the trap card a Hero Emerges!" Jaden activated his set card.
"Blast!" Crowler yelled out.
"A Hero what?" Chazz asked with annoyance.
"Emerges. From my hand. See, you can now pick a card in my hand and if it's a monster, I get to summon it. So take your pick, Chazz," Jaden explained defiantly.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. The far right card," Chazz picked in frustration.
Jaden went over to the far right card. "Sweet! I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix! I'll play her in defense mode (1200/800)!"
"That's what you think, you Slifer Slacker! Thanks to my Catapult Cannon, I get to pick your monster's mode. And you know what? I'll choose attack mode. Now your Life Points, like your monster, will get zapped!"

"Aw, what's the matter Jaden? Having some test anxiety? Well, don't worry. It will be over soon," Chazz mocked Jaden.
"That's what you think Chazz. This duel is far from over. I still have a whole army creatures ready to get at you. It's my turn. I draw," Jaden announced as he drew a new card, Transcendent Wings. It was a card that the old lady had hidden away for him to use! "What do you think, Winged Kuriboh?" Winged Kuriboh responded with a happy coo. "Well, alright. If you say so. I summon Winged Kuriboh (300/200) in defense mode." Suddenly, almost every female student screamed out in delight in response to seeing the adorable creature. "I'll also throw down a facedown. That's it."
"That's it? But all he's been playing this duel is defense," Syrus was disappointed.
"Yeah, I don't see how Jaden can win this duel at this rate," Twilight said in disappointment.
"I really hope you know what you're doing Jaden," Alexis thought in concern.
"I'm going to attack your Winged Kuriboh and I like mine well done. Dragon Catapult Cannon, attack that Kuriboh!" Chazz said as his monster launched out an attack.
"Once that Kuriboh's gone, he'll be totally defenseless!" Syrus yelled out.
"I'm afraid this duel is just about over," Rarity moaned in disappointment.
"Okay, secret weapon time! I sacrifice two cards from my hand in order to play Transcendent Wings!" Jaden announced as he discarded his remaining two cards.
"Where did her get that from?!" Crowler and Clarissa yelled out in shock.
Suddenly, Winged Kuriboh's wings increased dramatically in size. They went from tiny to ginormous. "It can't be!" Chazz cried out in horror.
"Oh, it be. You see, Transcendent Wings turns my Winged Kuriboh into a Level ten monster (300/200). And it gets better. See, by sacrificing him, I can destroy all monsters in attack mode and deal their attack points as damage to you!" Jaden explained, as Winged Kuriboh Level 10 reflected the Catapult Cannon's lazer attack back at him and destroyed him.

"Lucky punk," Chazz grumbled as the dust cleared.
"Lucky? Naw, I just have a soft spot for old ladies. But not for you Chazz, and that's too bad as with us both at 1000 Life Points apiece and my turn coming up, all I need to do is draw the right card and this duel will be mine," Jaden said full of confidence. "Here goes something! Alright! Elemental Hero Avian (1000/1000)! Attack Chazz directly!" Avian sliced through Chazz, reducing his Life Points to 0. Everyone in the arena went from shocked to happy, clapping and applauding Jaden for his victory over Chazz.
"Impossible! Jaden can't have won. Not after all the rare cards I gave Chazz!" Crowler was outraged.
"Crowler, what's this about rare cards?" Chancellor Sheppard questioned the doctor.
"Um, nothing. I have some tests to grade," Dr. Crowler awkwardly said as he left the upper room.
Meanwhile, Jaden was soaking in all the applause before telling Chazz, That's game. Unless you wanna duel again!"
Chazz picked himself up off the floor bitterly. "Oh, we will!"
"Jaden, you did it!" Syrus yelled out happily as he approached Jaden, with the Mane 6 and Bastion following after "I know, right?! The way he managed to turn the duel around from losing to winning?! That was so awesome!" Rainbow Dash cried out.
"I know. Jaden, you have my respect," Twilight simply said.
"You sure do. You deserve to go into a higher dorm for sure," Rarity said in respect.
"Jaden Yuki?" Everyone turned to the upper box room where Chancellor Sheppard was as he continued, "Jaden, never in the many years of this academy have I seen a Slifer duel an Obelisk during these exams. Not only did you hold your own, but you won! It is with great pride that I promote you to Ra Yellow."
"No way! Jaden, that's incredible!" Rainbow Dash congratulated her friend.
"Jaden, let me be the first to introduce you to the Ra Yellow dorm," Bastion welcomed the new student.
"Gee, I knew that Jaden wouldn't remain a Slifer Red for long, but I am still sad to see him go so soon. Hopefully, we can still be friends," Syrus thought to himself.
"So, Dolly, what did you think of that duel?" Hansel asked Dolly.
"What did I think? It was incredible! I can't believe that duels can be so exciting! If only I could do that myself! Maybe I can try to learn to play on my skateboard!" Dolly was happily rambling to herself. She then looked to her right and saw her family sitting down, most of them looking bored, a little bit away from them. "Excuse me for a moment." Dolly moved on down to where her family was. "So, how did this borefest go, anyway?" Dolly lied as she asked Dylan how things went in her absence.
"Well, a few students, mostly just Dawkins, were able to enjoy the game more and want to learn about it. Otherwise, the whole thing was a bust," Dylan sighed in disappointment. "So, how did things go for you?"
"Well, nothing much. Still find the game to be boring as all get out," Dolly continued to lie about her feelings toward the game.
"So Syrus, are you ready to look for a new roommate yet or should I do it alone?" Rainbow Dash asked the shorter kid.
After a moment of silence, Syrus muttered to himself. "I didn't even get to say goodbye."
Suddenly, the door opened and Jaden entered the room. "Hey guys, what's up?"
"Jaden?! What are you doing here?!" Syrus was completely confused.
"I just wanted to congratulate you both for passing your field tests. Also, in case you'd forgotten, I live here! Sure, Ra Yellow has its perks like a lack of cockroaches and those spiffy blazers, but I prefer it here anyway. Besides, without you guys by my side, that place just didn't feel like home!"
Suddenly, Rainbow Dash and Syrus rushed towards Jaden and hugged him with joy present on both of their faces.
