Hey guys! masterstarman1002 here with a quick message. Because I like writing this story more often, I'm thinking of making this story twice a month... starting in June, because FINALS are a piece of shit. So, until then, the normal schedule will still be in place. Until then, hope you guys are having an awesome day! Enjoy!
Matthew: So, let me get this straight. All my memories are false? And apparently dueling like I do now is common, but the dueling association forced me and Avery to go through memory loss and filled our heads with fake memories. So, us being siblings are still a fact, right?
Yu: Yeah. I have all the memories before the time where you lose all your memories. It's fuzzy because we were young when it happened, but yeah. You two are siblings.
Matthew: The dueling association forced us to forget all about, the dueling association, monsters popping out of cards, duel disks, and Solid Reality. Just because I kept on winning awards?
Yu: It was also because you didn't ally yourself with one specific country. It's dumb I know.
Matthew: What about the anime?
Yu: That was meant for you. I mean, let's take a look, at the original Yu-gi-oh to GX to 5ds to Zexal. They're fake meant just to influence you in the game. However, you refused to watch it and played with normal cards at the orphanage. Plus what about Yuya, Yuto, and the others. They should be fake but they exist.
Matthew: What about Crow and Jack Atlus? I saw them in AMVs and they're real people.
Yu: Don't take that much into consideration. It could be a coincidence, or they were real people duelist in the anime. Maybe they were parallel versions of the guys that played them. I mean, look at Yuto and Yuya with you and even Avery looks like Yuzu.
Matthew: That makes the most sense.
Yu: That actually took no time at all. You're very understanding, which I should've expected since you're me. Well, any other questions before we end this because we can't meet after this dream thing?
Matthew: A couple things, really. So, one didn't you say something about gifts. Two, who is Alex? And three. How do I tell everyone about my name and such?
Ok, so Matthew will be changed to Yu, and Yu the spirit will have the spirit in parentheses.
Yu (spirit): Alex, well. Can't really talk about him. Don't know too much about him. Just that he's a time god, for something about this universe and a dude with a Keyblade with the same name as your fake name.
Yu: kk. Weird stuff. That's cool. And what about the other two?
Yu in spirit form snaps his fingers as he hands the normal Yu a card. It was a fusion monster that he's never seen before. Starving Venemy Dragon. It was also a Pendulum monster. The spirit Yu snaps his fingers again and four more cards pop up and put them into separate containers and locks. Two cards were in the same container. They each have a number.
Yu (spirit): So, those cards must be opened in the separate dimensions. Doesn't matter which one, just a separate one from this dimension.
Spirit Yu snaps his fingers and then the physical Yu glows for a bit.
Yu (spirit): Just tap a person and that person and everyone that they know and know that person, will remember you as Yu and not Matthew.
Yu: Couldn't you just change the minds of everyone?
Yu (spirit): I'm not a fucking magician. I'm just a memory of your past self.
Yu: You just gave me the power to touch a person and change everything involving me.
Yu (spirit): … Get out of here, me.
And then Yu woke up on the couch. He looks up and sees Avery sleeping soundly on another couch and Yu looks at his hands before getting up and quickly tapping her while trying not to wake her up. Then he looks at his hands again and then looks at his backpack and checks his container for all his extra deck monsters and finds Starving Venemy Dragon.
Yu (thought): Its effects were pretty good. It's a free negate of a monster effect while lowering that monster's attack and defense and then dealing damage to my opponent. It's summoning requirements aren't particularly hard. I can use it without giving other people an idea that I'm using a Pendulum monster. This will definitely help.
Avery slowly wakes up to see Yu looking at his card. Yu looks up with a small smile on her face.
Yu: How's it going sis?
Avery: It's ok, Shouldn't you get ready to leave soon? Are you taking a boat with Rei into the mainland right?
Yu: Yeah, I believe so. Question, can you say my name, Avery?
Avery: Uh, why? That seems so random of you to say out of the blue.
Yu: I just want to confirm something before I go. I just had a crazy dream.
Avery: It's Yu, obviously. I am your sister after all.
Yu: And what about Matthew? Does that name ring any bells?
Avery: Not really. You've been strange ever since you started wearing your pendant again. Are you sure your constant battling is wearing you out? You don't have to go to Academia. We can just go to Standard with Riku.
Yu: Nah, have to. I just feel like I need to do it.
Avery: Ok then. Well, don't strain yourself too much. See you later in Standard then.
Yu: Yeah, be safe, Avery.
Yu gets up and puts on his backpack while his main deck and other extra deck cards are in a secret pouch in the backpack. He didn't want anyone finding those and giving himself away. He attaches the grey duel disk to his left arm and inserts his fusion only deck and walks out in his casual outfit and walks out to the side area where the mini boats were being kept. There he could see, Yusho and Ryo talking to Rei as the three looked at him.
Yusho: Ah, Yu. Good to see you up on time. I just gave Rei the instructions to what you guys need to do.
Yu: Ok then. She'll explain to me on the way to the mainland.
Ryo: It should take you 15 minutes on the motorboat. However, don't get sidetracked from your mission. As soon as you learn the foundation of the place and such, leave immediately. We don't want to give anything. Once you reach the main shore, don't worry about the boat. Sho programmed it to come back immediately after you leave.
Rei: Sho is really smart when it comes to technology so we don't have to worry. Let's hurry up Yu and let's go.
Yu: Right. Thank you, Mr. Sakaki, for taking care of me and my sister. It was nice meeting you and you, Kaiser Ryo. One day, we should have a duel.
Ryo: I'll be ready to take you on, anytime.
Rei: That's a duel, I can't wait to see.
Yu: You got that right. I'm going to make it one of the best duels ever seen. Just you wait!
Yu and Rei got onto the motorboat and Yu starts it up and the engine starts very quietly. Yu os amazed at the craftsmanship of the model and steers the boat to the mainland in which Rei point towards.
Yu: So, Rei. What type of deck to you play?
Rei: I used to play a fairy type deck, but I Yusho gave me a Lightsworn deck to use. It has a Synchro monster and an Xyz monster so I hid those somewhere for now.
Yu: Yeah. Don't want anything bad to happen. Let's breeze through the entrance exams and get the this over with.
Yu sees the mainland and looks around to find that no one was around the area. He gets off and helps Rei out and grabs his backpack and the motorboat drives off leaving Rei and Yu all by themselves as Yu looks at his pendant. One side rainbow color was not shining anymore. Yu found it confusing but left it alone. The two walked to the stadium where there were people that were registering people for the duel academy. Yu signs himself up as his Matthew just to throw off other people, as he was used to being called Yu from his spirit self. Once he was done, he got a number that was relatively low and Rei got a number that was one higher.
Lady: Those numbers are the order in which he tests our new students. This means that you'll be going on, very soon.
Rei: I see. Thank you very much.
Yu and Rei go into the stadium and get a quick bite to eat as they look at the people trying to get into Academia.
Yu: Kinda makes me sick. Watching all these people going to the one place that has the most despicable people of all time train at a normal pace.
Rei: You can't blame them. They all want to become better duelist and Academia is one of the best academies in the world. None of these people know what they do at the Academy just yet. Don't judge them.
Yu: Sure. I won't. Though, it'll still irk me a bit. And some of these duelists seem like pretty good ones.
Suddenly the monitor went on and Yu sees his number being shown as he sighs and takes off his backpack and puts on a cap just to make sure that no one sees his face. He makes his way down to the dueling arena and sees his tester waiting for him. He had a long blue cloak that goes all the way to his knees and wore shades.
Tester: Welcome, Matthew. I will be your tester. In order to pass this test, you must beat me in a one vs one duel. We may start when you are ready.
Yu: Sure let's go.
Rei looks deeply at the duel as Yu and the tester activate their duel disks. Rei sees her number being shown as she makes her way down to another arena.

Yu / Tester: Duel!
Yu - LP 4000
Tester - LP 4000
Tester: I'll take the first move! I summon Ancient Gear Wyvern in attack position! (Lv 4, 1700 Atk) I activate its effect which allows me to draw an "Ancient Gear" card from my deck to my hand. I'll add the Ancient Gear Box to my hand. However, I can't set any cards this turn.
Yu (thought): Oh great. An Ancient Gear deck. This is going to go well.
Tester: Next Ancient Gear Box's effect will activate. It can let me draw 1 Earth Machine-Type monster with 500 Atk, except itself. I choose the Ancient Gear Gadget. Next, I activate the magic card, Fusion! This lets me Fusion Summon using materials that I have from my hand. I'll choose Ancient Gear Box and Ancient Gear Gadget from my hand!
Yu: A Fusion Summon, the first turn? These guys aren't joking around. They're definitely better than the Obelisk Forces at least.

Tester: Ancient Laser… Fire!
Yu - LP 4000 → 3000
Tester: With that I end my turn! You can give up anytime that you want you know. I won't judge you. Well, maybe a little.
Yu: Telling that to the wrong guy. I don't give up after just a slight bit of damage. Draw! Hmm. I activate the spell, Trade-In! By sending my Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand to the graveyard, I am allowed to draw two cards from my deck. Next, I activate my second Trade-In! By sending another Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand to my graveyard, I can draw two more cards from my deck.
Tester: Interesting thing you're doing. You're trading some high-leveled monsters for some extra cards in your hand. Are you sure you made the right choice?
Yu: Don't worry teach. I know what I'm doing. I activate the continuous spell, Temple of the Kings! With this card's effect, I can activate one trap card that was set this turn! I set a card and activate the spell, Monster Reborn! I can special summon my Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my graveyard! (Lv 8, 3000 Atk) Next, my set card is activated. Call of the Haunted! I target one monster in my graveyard and special summon it. (Lv 8, 3000 Atk)
Tester: Ah nice. You've summoned two high leveled monsters and drew cards at the same time. I'll give that a 6/10. Will you battle?
Yu: Not yet! I contact fuse my two Blue-Eyes White Dragons that are on my field! Feast your eyes on the most powerful of all dragons, in its fully evolved glory! Contact Fusion! Show yourself, Blue Eyes Twin Burst Dragon! (Lv 10, 3000 Atk)
The crowd was pretty interested in Yu's Contact Fusion. Even the tester was smiling a bit.
Tester: Looks like we have an amazing candidate for this year. Contact Fusing is very difficult to pull off, properly.
Yu: Thanks for your compliments. Battle! I attack your Ancient Gear Wyvern! Neutron Blast!
Tester - LP 4000 → 2700
Tester: Eurgh! That's smarts kid! What's your next plan of attack I wonder?

Tester: I activate Ancient Gear Howitzer's special ability! When this monster is destroyed by battle, I can special summon one Ancient Gear Monster from my extra deck ignoring its summoning conditions. Come on out Ancient Gear Golem! (Lv 8, 3000 Atk)
Yu: Dang it. I should've taken care of Howitzer first. I set two cards facedown! Turn End! Your turn teach.
Tester: My turn! Draw! …
Meanwhile
Rei enters the stadium to see her tester standing right in front of her. He had a bored look to his face as he wore a blue coat that had tears all over.
Tester: Well, then Rei. Let's hurry up and starts this duel so I can go to bed early.
Rei: Yeah. I'll beat you quickly and get into the academy.
Tester: Wow, how naive kids are these days. I'm doing you a favor kid so lose here so you don't embarrass yourself.
Rei: No. I have something that I have to do.
Rei activates her duel disk which was a red model. The tester sighed and activates his.
Tester: All right then. Let's do this.

Rei - LP 4000
Tester - LP 4000
Tester: My turn. I'll activate the spell card, Fusion which allows me to summon a Fusion Monster from my extra deck. I'll send Falchion B and Alexandrite Dragon!

By sending three cards from the top of my deck into the graveyard, I can add 1 Level 4 or lower Lightsworn monster to my hand from the deck! I'll choose Lumina Lightsworn Summoner which is a Level 3. Next, I'll activate Solar Recharge! By discarding a Lightsworn from my hand to the graveyard, I can draw two cards and send two cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard.
Tester: So you're milling yourself. This is a Lightsworn Deck! Well, this is going to take quite a while.
Rei: I apologize that this is going to take a while, but I want to win this duel. I'll send Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress to draw two cards and send two cards to the graveyard. Next, I summon Lumina Lightsworn Summoner from my hand! (Lv 3, 1000 Atk) I'll activate her ability and by discarding one card, I can special summon Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress from my graveyard! (Lv 4, 1700 Atk) (Thoughts) I have three Lightsworns in my graveyard with different names. I just need one more and I can special summon Judgement Dragon. I got this in the bag. (speak) I'll activate Axe of Despair and Lyla gains 1000 Attack points! (1700 → 2700 Atk) Battle! I'll attack your Panzer Dragon!
Tester: When Panzer Dragon is destroyed, I can destroy one card on the field. I'll destroy Lumina Lightsworn Summoner! Now you have no more monsters that can attack.
Rei: I'll end my turn with a facedown, and Lyla's effect activates. I send three cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard.

Rei - LP 3900 → 1100
Tester: And with that, my turns done.
Rei: My turn! Draw! Got it! Judgement Dragon's effect activates! When I have four Lightsworn monsters with different names in my graveyard, I can special summon Judgement Dragon from my hand. Your allies defeated, evil approaches and the light stands on the brink! Now pierce through the shadows, and wipe away darkness forever! Appear! Judgement Dragon! (Lv, 3000 Atk) I activate its effect! By paying 1000 Life Points, I can destroy all other cards on the field! However, I activate the quick-spell that was my set card, Potion of the Old Man! I get to choose between gaining 1200 Life Points or deal you 800 points of Damage. I choose to gain 1200 Life Points. Now Judgement Dragon effect activates.
Rei - LP 1100 → 2300 → 1300
Rei: Battle! I attack you directly with Judgement Dragon! Final Judgement!
Judgement Dragon charges a yellow beam and soon unleashes on the tester which causes a blinding light in the room.
Tester - LP 4000 → 1000
(Play this song in the background if the other song already finished. Thousand Foot Krutch - In my Room)
Rei: With that, I set two cards facedown. Turn end. And Judgement Dragon makes me send four cards from my Deck to the Graveyard.
Tester: My turn then! Draw! I activate Monster Reincarnation! By discarding a card, I can add a monster from the graveyard to my hand. I'll add Cyber Dragon to my hand. Next, I activate its effect!

It lets me summon a monster from my graveyard. Come on out, Panzer Dragon! (Lv 5, 2500 Def) Next, I Overlay the Cyber Dragon and Panzer Dragon!
Rei: Did he just say Overlay? How can you Xyz Summon?
Tester: Due to our technology at Academia, we can replicate summoning methods from other dimensions and use it as our own. Even that Kaiser Ryo took some of these cards. I've never been interested in dueling till now, so I'll give you my full power! I'll sleep like a rock tonight! Anyways, I Overlay the Level 5 Cyber Dragon and Panzer Dragon! Birthed from the Overlay, the power of sun and the power of man, combined into one! Xyz Summon! Rank 5! Cyber Dragon Nova! I activate its effect! By detaching a material, I can target a Cyber Dragon from my Graveyard and special summon it! Then I activate Cyber Dragon Nova's effect.

Rei: No, that won't happen! I activate the trap, Mirror Force! I destroy all your monsters that are in attack position!
Tester: Shouldn't have done that! When Cyber Dragon Nova is sent to my Graveyard by a card effect, I can special summon 1 Machine Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck! Appear! Cyber End Dragon! (LV 12, 4500 Atk) This'll definitely end you. Battle! I attack Judgement Dragon with Cyber End Dragon! Eternal Evolution Burst!
Rei (thought): Ryo is way better at using Cyber Monsters. I won't let him beat me like this! (speak) I activate the trap, Negate Attack! I target the opposing monster and then I negate the battle, while also ending the Battle Phase!
Tester: Tsk! I set a card facedown! Turn end! (thought) The trap is Breakthrough Skill. If this girl were to use Judgement Dragon's effect, this would negate the effect of her monster. Then I can attack her next turn, even if she puts it into defense position because Cyber End does piercing damage. No matter what, I win.
Rei: Draw! I got everything that I need to win! I activate the spell, March of the Brigade! I target 1 Lightsworn monster in my Graveyard that has a level and then add it to my hand. Then I banish cards from my deck equal to the level of the monster. (thought) I don't have many cards left, but this is the final turn. I have to end it here. (speak) I choose Gragonith, Lightsworn Dragon! It's a Level 6 which makes me banish 6 cards from my deck. ) I activate Judgement Dragon's special ability! By paying 1000 Life Points. I can destroy all other cards on the field.
Tester: Nice try, miss but no dice! I activate the trap, Breakthrough Skill! I can target and negate the effect of a monster on that field until the end of the turn! I'll choose your Judgement Dragon!
Rei: Tch. Fine then. Punishment Dragon's effect activates!
Tester: Punishment Dragon?! So you caught me in a corner.
Rei: Yeah, when I have four different Lightsworn monsters with different names in the banished zone, I can special summon this monster! Your allies revived, evil approaches and the light expires! Now conqueror the light, in everlasting darkness! Appear! Punishment Dragon! (Lv 8, 3000 Atk) Now, I can win. I activate the spell card, Full Force Strike and target my Judgement Dragon! Battle! I attack your Cyber End Dragon with Judgement Dragon! Final Judgement!
Tester: What are you thinking? Your monster has fewer attack points!
Rei: When a monster attacks while being targeted by Full Force Strike, the opposing monster is destroyed immediately and I take no battle damage!
Tester: Wait, that still leaves your Punishment Dragon.
Rei: Correct! Battle! I attack you directly with Punishment Dragon! Burning punishment!
Punishment Dragon charges a dark lightning attack and fires at the Academia tester.
Tester - LP 1000 → 0
Rei Wins!
Rei sighs deeply as she looks at the monitors to see Yu's duel was still going in place.
Yu - LP 3000
Tester - LP 1000
Yu just saw Rei finishing her duel quickly which gave him the motivation to hurry up and finish his duel.
Tester: My turn! Draw! I activate the magic card Fusion! With this, I choose to fuse Ancient Gear Golem with two other Ancient Gear Golems from my hand! Golems made from the oldest of times. Become one and ascend into your ultimate form! Fusion Summon! Obliterate! Ancient Gear Megaton Golem! (Lv 9, 3300 Atk) I activate Pot of Greed! I can draw two more cards from my deck!

And when this monster uses 2 or more Ancient Gear Golems, it can attack that many times. So it can attack up to three times this turn. Battle! I attack Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon! Megaton Punch!
Yu: However, Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon can't be destroyed by battle!
Tester: But you will still take the damage.
Yu - LP 3000 → 2200
Tester: Battle! I attack Blue-Eyes again! Megaton Punch!
Yu: And once again, Blue-Eyes can't be destroyed by battle!
Yu - LP 2200 → 1400
Tester: I'll still have one more attack! Battle! I attack Blue-Eyes one more time! Megaton Punch!
Yu - LP 1400 → 600
Yu: Dang. I could really feel that! I just hope that I draw the right cards next turn.
Tester: Don't get yourself comfy right now. Next turn, I'll be winning this game of ours. I end my turn.
Yu: My turn! Draw! Psychic Prodigy? And I already have a Fusion card… Gagaga Magician? Perfect! I can try out this card. I activate the spell card, Fusion! I choose to fuse my Psychic Prodigy and Gagaga Magician from my hand! Knight of psycho powers! Magician who ascends the level! Become one to call forth the ravenous dragon with fangs dripping with venom! Fusion Summon! Appear now, Level 7! Starving Venemy Dragon! (Lv 7, 2500 Atk)
Tester: The heck… That looks similar to Yuri's card. Who the hell are you?
Yu: Just a guy who loves to duel! I activate the spell Cyclone! I destroy Black Pendant! Now your monster will lose his attack!
(3800 → 3300 Atk)
Tester: When this card is sent to the Graveyard from the field, you take 500 points of damage!
Yu - LP 600 → 100
Yu: This is enough! I activate Starving Venemy Dragon's ability! Once per turn, I negate the effect of one of your monsters! Then it loses 500 Attack and Defense and then you take 500 points of damage!
Tester: You got me, kid.
Yu: You know it! Gluttony Spore!
(3300 → 2800)
Tester - LP 1000 → 500
Yu: Battle! I attack Ancient Gear Megaton Golem with Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon! Neutron Blast!
Tester - LP 500 → 300
Yu: This is the finale! I attack you directly with Starving Venemy Dragon! Savage Predation!
Several spores were shot from the dragon's hand and embedded themselves in the tester as it drained his life points and falls onto the floor,
Tester - LP 300 → 0
Yu Wins!
(Music Ends)
Yu sighs in relief as he stretches a bit. It was a close call for sure. The tester gets up from the ground and looks at Yu.
Tester: Well done Yu. You've passed. Welcome to the academy.
Yu:... Yeah. Thank you.
Yu quickly dashes outside the arena and reaches the top of the staircase where he sits down with Rei before sighing deeply.
Yu: That was too close for comfort. I just drew the right cards at the right time. It seemed like your duel went smoothly though. You summoning Punishment Dragon at the right time. You had him on the ropes for a while there.
Rei: Yeah, it looked like you were breezing through easily, until that Ancient Gear Golem came around. Then it was just downhill from there. I almost thought you were going to lose from that.
Yu: Shut up. Starving Venemy was able to save me from that, so it's fine. I don't need to worry about that now. We have little time so lets focus on getting everything ready. It should be easy enough.
Rei: Yeah. They said that all the people who passed will be getting on a boat to the academy after you were finishing dueling. You're the last one after all. We should be ready to go soon.
Yu: Yeah. Maybe in a minute. I think they're probably preparing the ship right now. All we can do now is wait.
Suddenly the intercom went off. It was a man's voice.
?: Attention everyone. Those who have passed the entrance exam, please proceed to port 5 where you must give your name and number to gain access to our cruise ship. Those who have failed, I must apologize but we hope to see you next year. That is all.
Yu: Well, that's the signal. Let's head off.
Rei: After you, Matthew. Heh heh.
Yu: Oh hush you.
Yu grabbed his backpack and puts it on and walks with Rei downstairs and heads to Port 4. He gave his fake name and his number as Rei did the same and they both walked in. A person walked up after them. It was a boy about 5'6 and wore a black shirt and blue jeans. He had glasses that made him look sharp and smart.
?: Asaia. Number 85. Reporting for duty.
The teacher takes a look at him and his picture.
Teacher: Ah, Asaia. There you are. You're the last one to get in. Hurry up and get inside. We're leaving in ten minutes.
Asaia: Thank you, teacher!
As Asaia walks in, he passes Rei and Yu who were looking through their decks just in case. Yu looks through his backpack and sees the three containers.
Yu (thought): How am I going to be able to open this container. Maybe, I'll figure it out later.
Yu decides to continue looking at his deck during the time to Academia and puts on headphones for the long trip. For what felt like forever Yu sees the island. The island that had Kurosaki's sister. The place where the cause of the Xyz dimension to suffer. Yu was thinking about what to do. Then he notices that Rei was sleeping on his arm. He was so deep in thought that he didn't even know. She looked so peaceful, but he had to wake her up as the boat was about to stop. He lightly taps her cheek.
Yu: Rei… It's time to get up.
Rei: Just five more minutes…
Yu: C'mon. We're at Academia…
Rei then opens her eyes slowly and sees that she was leaning on Yu. She slowly processes what was happening and she blushed and jumped back panicking about what was happening.
Yu: Hey. Hey. Calm down Rei. You just fell asleep was all. Nothing to worry about.
Rei: B-But… Me … and you… I sle…
Yu: It's fine. You were tired. There's nothing wrong with you sleeping. Everyone needs their rest after all.
Rei: But that's, not what I'm crazing around about. It was just that I was leaning on you like a pillow in public and it's… really embarrassing!
Yu: Oh ok. Well, it's fine. We're friends after all, aren't we?
Rei: Yeah, but still. People might think that we're a couple, and … never mind.
Yu: Huh? What the heck are you talking about?
Rei: It's nothing! Nothing, alright?! Jeez.
Rei walks away with a poofy mouth showing that she was a bit irritated, but Yu was just confused about what just happened. He gets up as the teachers open the door to the docks and Yu was the first to leave through the docks. A teacher told him to go to the booth not that far away and he nods. Yu walks alone and looks back to see Rei was in the crowd still blushing a bit but was way calmer and she sees Yu who waved at her. Sighing she dashes up to him as they reached the booth where they gave their names and they received a colored card. Yu and Rei had both gotten a red card as the person at the booth instructed them to go to the small cottage like area that was on a map, that they received.
Yu: Is anything different from last time, Rei?
Rei: No. Everything looks the same so far. We should head on to the Slifer Red Dorms and get to know the interior of the school.
Yu: That reminds me Rei. How come they don't recognize you if you attended this school?
Rei: Actually, I never did. I was just here looking for Ryo on the day he was escorting many students to Yusho's boat. That's probably why, no one remembers me.
Yu: That makes the most sense. Wait why were you looking for Ryo? Did you know him while he was Kaiser?
Rei: Not exactly. He was Sho's brother and I was friends with Sho for a bit, but I couldn't attend the Academy because my dueling skills weren't on par with their standards.
?: Excuse me!
Yu and Rei looked around to see a guy in glasses running up to the two and he caught up to them heavily breathing.
?: Hey, you guys are in Slifer Red? Right? I'm Asaia. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Rei: I'm Rei. This is Yu.
Yu: It's a pleasure to meet you Asaia.
Asaia: It's nice to meet you two. So, are we all going to be in the same dorms?
Yu: Wait, what? Don't they have separate dorms for girls?
Rei: That would be obvious but I don't think that's the case.
Asaia: Yeah. A year ago, the girl's dorm for Slifer Red was taken down for the new testing laboratory, so the girls sleep with the boys at the same dorm. If you guys want we could be in the same dorm.
Rei: Is that where they make cards from other dimensions?
Asaia: Huh? Other dimensions? You know about those? Are you not from here?
Yu: Ummmmmmmmmm. What makes you think that? I'm a fusion user after all.
Asaia: For all I know, you guys could be from Standard. I mean have you heard of Akaba Reiji?
Yu: You know Reiji? What about him?
Asaia: Ahh. So you're the ones I'm supposed to be meeting. Forgive me. I'm one of the Lancers, Asaia. I'm allied with Riku, Akira, and Ryuji.
Yu: Really. So you're trustworthy.
Rei: For now.
Asaia: So, we're going to be roommates?
Yu and Rei look at each other before looking at Asaia.
Yu: Well, this is a predicament. Well, Rei. It's nice to meet you, roommate.
Rei: Why are you so chill about this?! This is a serious predicament!
Yu: It's nothing. Let's go.
Yu walks ahead with Asaia as Rei just stands there pondering at what just happened. She lets it go as she runs up to the two. And after they get their dorm setup,
Yu, Asaia, and Rei decided to check out the Academy's interior. There Yu sees a girl with indigo hair tied into a ponytail with a large yellow ribbon. Her hair also had two blue bangs that fall to either side of her face. She wore a Slifer Red jacket, with a yellow stripe and a black shirt with a purple-brown collar. She also wears a red skirt held up by a brown belt with a silver buckle and ring connecting to two straps going over her torso. She just finished a duel and looks around and sees Yu with her green eyes and points to him.
?: You there. Let's duel!
Yu: Wait what? You want to duel me? But, I just got here.
?: So you're just going to ignore a duel when someone is challenging you? You don't have the right to call yourself a duelist then.
Yu: Woah. Slow up there chick. I'll duel you, but don't expect me to go easy on you. Can I at least know your name before we duel? Proper etiquette. I'm Yu. It's a pleasure to meet you.
?: The name's Serena. Be prepared!
Yu: Yeah sure. This is weird.
Yu looks at the Rei and Asaia as they gave a shrug.
Yu: When you're ready!
Serena: Yeah!
Yu / Serena: Duel!
Yu - LP 4000
Serena - LP 4000
Suddenly Yu's necklace, one side the purple orb was shining.
So I hope that this chapter wasn't confusing. Matthew does not exist and Yu is now his name. I changed it for two reasons. The first would have to be, there is another OC named Matthew in HyperHeart RWBY which makes me seem unoriginal. The second reason would have to be, his name doesn't start with Yu. Because all of Zarc's counterparts all have Yu at the beginning of their names, so Yu for the main character seems the best as he is the vessel of the origin's of the four dragons. With that being said. Hope you guys enjoy this episode of The Human! this is masterstarman signing off. And remember! Stay classy!
