"Well, that's one graduation down." Chloe commented as she watched Evan walk off ready to graduate from the academy, Miranda was waiting for her match to start on the duel podium whilst Chelsea turned to Chloe. "And your facing her brother in the duel immediately after hers, no pressure."
"You're the one who's facing Theresa in the main event!" Chelsea pointed out with a grin on her face and Chloe grinned sheepishly. "If anyone should be worried about pressure it's you!"
"I think your both wrong." Lance chimed in and the two girls looked up. "For the three of us our duels against Brandon, Tyler and Theresa are just the last duels we'll take part in before the summer break starts but for them? Winning means graduation, losing means that they have to try again next year, something Tyler's already been through."
"Didn't think about that." Chloe admitted as she shifted her weight. "And that'll probably be the only time in history when the girlfriend is proven wrong by the boyfriend." Chloe joked getting a laugh out of her boyfriend as Lance returned the grin.
"Especially considering who your boyfriend is." Chelsea chimed in before the lights dimmed. "Anyway, the next match is starting!"
"We are back with the second graduation duel of the day." Martin announced and the crowd cheered whilst Miranda took center stage on the duel podium and Tracy stood opposite her ready for the duel to begin. "In our next match, we will see the older Kaiba sibling Miranda take on her dorm headmistress Tracy Simmons!"
"And if this ends up being like Sarah's match I will be joining Evan in the winner's circle." Miranda commented as she shuffled her deck whilst Tracy was doing the same across the ring from her.
"Sarah's deck is good but it's a one trick pony." Tracy responded as she shook her head. "And as much as I want to see one of my students graduate, I'm not here to make it easy for you, what I am here to do is make you earn your spot in the pro-leagues and whilst your deck may have improved on your dad's it's still outdated."
"Why don't you ask Chelsea about just how outdated my deck is." Miranda thought as she glanced over at Chelsea. "She hasn't even seen the full capabilities of my deck and I have a few surprises in store for Tracy." Miranda thought before turning her attention back to Tracy as they drew their opening hands. "Enough trash talk, if you don't mind, I'd like to go first."
"Go ahead." Tracy nodded as Miranda looked over her hand.
"She's lucky, I can't use the same combo I opened my last duel against Chelsea with, but that doesn't mean that I can't make a move." Miranda thought before playing a card. "I start my turn by activating Terra-Forming!" Miranda announced as she played the card and searched through her deck, once the card she was looking for was ejected she added it to her hand and waited for her deck to auto-shuffle. "No point in keeping you in the dark, in fact, let's bring some light to these proceedings! I activate Mausoleum of White!"
"That's not surprising." Tracy thought as the scenery changed to the beautiful mausoleum. "I may not have caught all of it but I did watch the last few rounds of Miranda's duel against Chelsea on Wednesday, if she thinks the same tricks will work on me then she's in for a surprise!"
"We'll get to its effect later, for now I set two cards facedown and I summon Alexandrite Dragon!" Miranda played the card and the beautiful sapphire dragon appeared on the field with a roar (4/2000/100). "And I end my turn." Miranda announced and Tracy drew her card.
"Not a bad opening move, let's see if I can do better." Tracy thought as she looked over her hand. "I start my turn by activating Wind-Up Factory, we will get to the effect of this Continuous Spell Card in a moment." Tracy announced as the card's hologram appeared on the field. "Next I summon Wind-Up Kitten in attack mode!" Tracy announced as she summoned the card and a small toy of a ginger cat with a wind-up key in its back appeared on the field with a robotic meow (2/800/500).
"Cute." Miranda responded as she rolled her eyes, especially after hearing other female students cooing in the audience. "But if the only thing you're going to send out against my dragons are children's toys than this match will be even shorter than Evan's!"
"I'm not sadistic enough to send a kitten up against a dragon without some back-up, I activate Wind-Up Kitten's effect! Once per turn I can target one monster you control and return it to your hand!" Tracy explained and Miranda's eyes widened as Alexandrite Dragon vanished from the field. "But that's not all! Since I just activated the effect of a Wind-Up Monster the effect of my Spell Card kicks in allowing me to add a Level Four or lower Wind-Up Monster to my hand."
"I can already tell that that Spell Card's going to wind me up." Miranda sighed getting a few groans from the audience whilst Tracy sweat-dropped whilst searching through her deck.
"That joke wasn't funny the first time I heard it and it hasn't gotten any funnier over the past hundred times I've heard it." Tracy deadpanned before adding the card she was looking for to her hand. "Besides, you've got bigger problems, Wind-Up Kitten, attack her life-points directly!" Tracy commanded and the kitten pounced at Miranda before clawing at her chest and bringing her life-points down to 7200. "I set two cards facedown and end my turn." Tracy announced as the two cards appeared on the field and Miranda drew her card.
"If she wanted to attack my life-points directly why didn't she set a monster and something like Compulsory Evacuation Device?" Miranda thought with a frown as she looked at Tracy's side of the field. "She isn't a rookie, all teachers at Duel Academy are required to have at least two years' worth of experience on the pro-league circuit before they can apply for a job either here or at the other academies, well, I'm about to make her pay for that mistake!" Miranda thought before playing a card. "Since I control no monsters I can Special Summon Kaiser Vorse Raider!"
"That could be a problem." Tracy thought with a frown as the light blue version of the monster made famous by Miranda's father appeared on the field (5/1900/1200).
"But he won't be lonely for much longer, I use my normal summon to bring Alexandrite Dragon back out!" Miranda announced as she played the card causing the sapphire dragon to return to the field with a roar. "Kaiser Vorse Raider, it's time to put Wind-Up Kitten to sleep!" Miranda commanded and the Beast-Warrior leapt towards Tracy's monster….
"It won't be that easy Miranda, I activate my trap card Zenmairich!" Tracy responded as her trap card flipped up and Wind-Up Kitten disappeared from the field just as Kaiser Vorse Raider was about to hit it with his halberd. "With this card, I can target one Level 4 or Lower Wind-Up Monster I control and return it to my hand, in exchange for that I can Special Summon another Wind-Up Monster as long as it has the same level such as Wind-Up Snail!" Tracy announced as she played the card causing a toy version of a snail that was pink and white it colors to appear in Wind-Up Kitten's place (2/100/2000).
"So, we've gone from something cute to something that's aggressively girly." Miranda commented dryly as the toy retreated into its shell indicating that it was in defense mode. "Leaving it in defense mode will keep your life-points safe for now."
"That's not all this move has allowed me to do." Tracy responded as she added the card to her hand. "You see, when I normal/special summon a Wind-Up monster as I just did I can special summon Wind-Up Shark from my hand." Tracy added as a toy version of a shark appeared on the field (4/1500/1500) and like Wind-Up Snail it assumed the defensive position. "And since this was a Wind-Up Monster's effect I get to use Wind-Up Factory!" Tracy added as she started inputting commands into her duel disk.
"Fine, you've just given Kaiser Vorse Raider a new target, Kaiser Vorse Raider, attack Wind-Up Shark!" Miranda commanded once Tracy had added her card to her hand and the Beast-Warrior changed course as it headed towards the toy shark.
"I don't think so, I activate Negate Attack!" Tracy announced as her trap card flipped up and Kaiser Vorse Raider's attack was bounced back by a forcefield. "Better luck next turn."
"I don't understand, why didn't she activate Negate Attack first and then use Zenmairich on her turn? Neither of her moves got rid of my monsters so this doesn't make any sense." Miranda thought before looking at her hand. "I end my turn." Miranda announced and Tracy drew her card. "Doesn't matter what she has planned, if she wants to use her Wind-Ups in a Special Summon my facedown Bottomless Trap Hole will deal with that monster the moment it hits the field and if she leaves her monsters in defense mode Dragon Rage will cut right through it."
"To start my turn, I activate the effect of Wind-Up Snail." Tracy announced as the snail started glowing. "Think of it like Wind-Up Kitten's effect only it applies to a facedown card, like the one on the right." Tracy explained and Miranda frowned before returning Bottomless Trap Hole to her hand. "And that means I get to use Wind-Up Factory's effect again." Tracy added before she started searching through her deck.
"At the rate she's going, she might deck herself out like Chloe did in the Battle Royal." Miranda thought as Tracy added another card to her hand. "Doesn't matter, either I wipe out her life-points or she decks herself out, either way I'm graduating."
"Next I activate Foolish Burial!" Tracy announced as she played the card before sending a card from her deck to the graveyard. "And for my normal summon this turn, I summon Wind-Up Rat!" Tracy played the card and a toy rat appeared on the field, like Kaiser Vorse Raider it was light blue in color but it was a lot less intimidating (3/600/600). "I activate the effect of Wind-Up Rat, once per turn I can target one Wind-Up Monster in my graveyard and Special Summon it in exchange for moving Wind-Up Rat to defense mode."
"You keep setting them up and I'll knock them down." Miranda responded with a confident grin on her face as she activated her trap card. "And with Dragon Rage active that will happen a lot sooner than you think!" Miranda added as Tracy retrieved the monster from her graveyard.
"Maybe it will, but I never said anything about my monsters being on the field long enough for you to try." Tracy responded and the grin on Miranda's face disappeared. "I use Wind-Up Rat's effect to Special Summon Wind-Up Magician!" Tracy announced as a new monster appeared on the field, it looked like Silent Magician Level 4 in appearance but there were two notable differences, that it was a toy and that it was a male (4/600/1800). "But I'm not done Special Summoning yet."
"Has it been five minutes yet?" Miranda asked with a deadpan expression on her face and Tracy sweat-dropped.
"Maybe the Wind-Up Deck was a bad choice for the Graduation Duels." Tracy thought before shaking her head. "It's only been two minutes but I will try to make this quick, I activate Wind-Up Shark's effect, using this I can chose to either raise his level by one or lower it by the same number, I chose to lower it." Tracy explained as Wind-Up Shark's level dropped to three. "And now I get to use Wind-Up Magician's effect, when I activate the effect of a Wind-Up Monster with him on the field I can Special Summon another Wind-Up from my deck in defense mode, like Wind-Up Soldier." Tracy explained before another new monster appeared on the field this one a light green humanoid with arcade machine type claws for its hands and a magnet like head (4/1800/1200). "I won't keep you in suspense for much longer, first I use Wind-Up Shark and Wind-Up Rat to build the Overlay Network!"
"I had a feeling that she was building to this." Miranda thought as the portal opened up and the two toy animals were sucked in. "It seems we have a battle between Synchros and XYZ Monsters!"
"I XYZ Summon Wind-Up Zenmains in defense mode!" Tracy played the card and from the portal emerged a new monster, it was a toy like the others but it was more robotic in appearance and had claws for hands (Rank: 3/1500/2100). "But why stop there? I use Wind-Up Magician and Wind-Up Soldier to build the overlay network again!" Tracy announced as the portal opened again and this time the two humanoid Wind-Ups were sucked in. "I XYZ Summon Wind-Up Zenmeister!" Tracy played the card and from the portal emerged another robotic toy, this one was slightly larger than Zenmains only it was hovering off the ground and was green and white it color (Rank: 4/1900/1500).
"You went through all that trouble to summon two monsters that can't hold a candle to mine?" Miranda asked with a raised eyebrow but before she could say anything else Zenmeister's attack shot up to 2500.
"If you're wondering where that power came from, it came from Zenmeister's overlay units." Tracy explained with a smirk. "He gains three hundred attack points for each overlay unit he has attached to it which is bad news for your monsters, Wind-Up Zenmeister, attack Alexandrite Dragon!" Tracy commanded and Zenmeister pointed his cannon at the dragon before disintegrating it with a blast that brought Miranda's life-points down to 6700. "I end my turn."
"About time." Miranda muttered under her breath as she drew her card. "As much as I snarked about how long she took on that move, it was well done, I just need to figure out how I'm going to come back from this." Miranda thought before looking at her drawn card and playing it. "I activate Pot of Desires, now I banish the top ten cards from my deck to draw two cards." Miranda announced as she retrieved the first ten cards from the top of her deck, pocketed them and then drew the next two cards.
"If you wanted to surrender there are quicker ways." Tracy pointed out and Miranda frowned in response. "Because let's face it, unless I2 decides to bring back Return from a Different Dimension you won't get much use out of the ten cards you just discarded."
"Maybe, maybe not." Miranda responded before setting a card. "I set one card facedown and end my turn."
"You're not moving Kaiser Vorse Raider to defense mode?" Tracy asked with a raised eyebrow and Miranda shook her head in response prompting Tracy to draw her card. "This makes no sense, Miranda is considered one of the best duelists in the school for a reason, she wouldn't make a rookie mistake like that, right?" Tracy thought before grinning. "Well, if it is a mistake then I'm about to make her pay for it!" Tracy thought before switching Zenmains to attack mode. "If you want to lose that badly I'll be happy to oblige, Zenmeister, attack Kaiser Vorse Raider!" Tracy commanded and the robot toy pointed his cannon at Miranda's monster…
"The ten cards I just banished are about to get some company! I activate my Trap Card Interdimensional Matter Transporter!" Miranda announced as her trap card flipped up and Kaiser Vorse Raider vanished from the field before Zenmeister could fire his weapon. "He'll be back when you end your turn but until then he's safe from harm!" Miranda added as she pocketed the card and pocketed her bulky breast pocket for emphasis.
"Same can't be said for your life-points, Zenmeister, your new target is her!" Tracy announced as she pointed to Miranda and the toy robot prepared to fire his cannon again…only to stop at the sudden appearance of Battle Fader (1/0/0). "Clever, but if your plan is to set up a tribute summon then I can think off better targets than Kaiser Vorse Raider."
"No comment." Miranda responded as she folded her arms. "Can I make my move?" Miranda asked and Tracy nodded in response after she set a card prompting Miranda to draw her card once Kaiser Vorse Raider was back on the field. "I activate Spellbook inside the Pot!" Miranda announced as she played the card and both women drew three cards. "Perfect!" Miranda thought with a grin. "About time that I brought out the big guns."
"And based on what I saw of your deck during the tournament I think I can guess what you're up too." Tracy responded as Miranda picked up a card.
"My deck wasn't at its full potential during the tournament." Miranda responded with a smirk as she looked at the card she had picked up. "In fact, as far as I'm concerned me and Sirocco would've made it a lot further than we did in the tournament, maybe even won the whole thing, if my deck was half as good as it is now."
"That's a bold claim." Tracy chuckled as she folded her arms. "Especially considering the caliber of the teams in round three, real question is, can you back it up?"
"Why don't I show you?" Miranda asked before turning her card around. "First, I summon Maiden with Eyes of Blue!" Miranda played the card and the blue eyed, silver haired maiden appeared on the field with a bow (1/0/0). "Next, I activate one of the effects of my Mausoleum, in exchange for sending a normal monster from my hand or deck to the graveyard I can increase the defense points of one monster I control, I chose to give the power up to Kaiser Vorse Raider." Miranda explained as she sent the card to her graveyard and Kaiser Vorse Raider's attack increased to 2000.
"That's odd, why didn't she use to on her Maiden?" Tracy thought with a frown as Miranda picked up another card.
"Next, I activate the effect of Sage with Eyes of Blue from my hand!" Miranda announced as she held the card up. "By discarding him and targeting one card I control I get to Special Summon one card from my deck." Miranda added before her grin widened. "A card that needs no introductions!"
"Seriously, how many ways does she have to summon that thing?!" Chelsea thought as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared on the field with a mighty roar (8/3000/2500).
"But wait, there's more!" Miranda added as her maiden started glowing. "I targeted my Maiden for Sage with Eyes of Blue's effect which means she gets to use her effect and guess what card I discarded for my Mausoleum?" Miranda asked rhetorically and sure enough the second Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared on the field. "Now I could devastate your life-points right here by just attacking with my dragons and my Vorse Raider but there's another move I can make." Miranda announced as she motioned to her Maiden. "I tune Maiden with Eyes of Blue with Battle Fader!"
"Wait, what?!" Tracy asked with a shocked look on her face as the two monsters leapt into the air for a Synchro Summon. "There's only one Level Two Synchro Monster in the game and its one of the rarest cards in existence!"
"Correction, there was only one but as of this morning?" Miranda responded as she retrieved the card from her extra deck. "There's two, I Synchro Summon Dragon Rider with Armor of Blue in defense mode!" Miranda announced as she played the card and once the bright flash faded and a new monster appeared on the field, it was a man in blue, dragon like armor that was carrying a huge shield with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's head emblemed on it and a sword (2/0/2000). "Now granted I could've summoned Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon or Azure Eyed Silver Dragon instead but despite his low stats Dragon Rider is just as good as those cards."
"You'll need a lot more than words to convince me of that." Tracy responded and Miranda grinned in response.
"Suit yourself, I always said that actions speak louder than words anyway." Miranda responded before retrieving a card from her breast pocket. "I activate Dragon Rider's effect, in exchange for shuffling one random banished card back into my deck I can let one monster with "Blue-Eyes" in its name attack twice and from what I can see? You have two monsters in defense mode that are ripe for plucking, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack Zenmains and Wind-Up Snail with…" Miranda's command was cut short by an ear-piercing screech that caused her dragon to back off. "What?"
"Don't recognize one of your dad's cards?" Tracy asked as she held up Command Silencer. "Not only is your attack negated but I get to draw a card." Tracy added as she drew a card. "One thing's for certain, I need to get rid of Dragon Rider with Armor of Blue before she can use it to wipe out my life-points and thanks to Pot of Desires she has plenty of ammo for his effect!"
"I set two cards facedown and end my turn." Miranda announced as her two facedown cards appeared on the field and Tracy drew her card.
"Well, my main priority just became obvious, get rid of Miranda's Synchro Monster." Tracy thought as she glanced over at the kneeling warrior. "Luckily for me I have a monster that can get rid of it." Tracy thought before looking at her drawn card. "I summon Wind-Up Kitten back to the field!" Tracy announced as the toy kitten returned to the field much to the delight of some of the female students. "And I activate her effect, this time I'm using it to bounce your Dragon Rider back to your hand!"
"To steal a quote from you, it won't be that easy." Miranda responded as her trap card flipped up. "I activate Divine Wrath! By discarding one card from my hand I negate Wind-Up Kitten's effect and destroy it!" Miranda announced as she discarded the card and lightning struck the toy kitten destroying it, however as Miranda was sending her trap card to the graveyard she received a chorus of boos from the other female students. "Oh, come on, do you know how hard it is to keep level one monsters on the field long enough for a Level Two Synchro Summon?!" Miranda yelled out at them as a large sweat-drop rolled down her head.
"Fine, I guess I'll have to destroy it the old-fashioned way! Zenmeister, attack Dragon Rider with Armor of Blue!" Tracy commanded and the robot aimed his cannon at the warrior…...
"That won't be so easy either, in fact, you've just cost yourself the duel." Miranda responded as her trap card flipped up. "All thanks to the ever-popular Mirror Force!" Miranda announced and Tracy's eyes widened as the blast bounced off an invisible force-field destroying Zenmeister but not Zenmaines. "Something you're not telling me? You never moved that monster back into defense mode."
"You're right, I didn't." Tracy nodded in response as she held up Wind-Up Shark. "If Zenmaines would be destroyed by battle or card effect I can detach an overlay unit instead." Tracy explained as she sent the cards to the graveyard. "It has another effect but that won't come into play until my end phase, speaking of which." Tracy added as she picked up two of the cards she had drawn. "I set two cards facedown and end my turn which triggers Zenmaines' other effect, once per turn during the end phase and only if I used his other effect this turn I can target one card on the field and destroy it, as tempting as it is to get rid of your daddy's favorite dragons there's to many variables with that Dragon Rider on the field." Tracy added as Zenmaines fired a rocket at Miranda's Synchro Monster destroying it.
"You wanted me to destroy Wind-Up Kitten, didn't you?" Miranda asked as she drew her card. "As a decoy for your real plan."
"Please, if I could read minds I wouldn't be teaching, I'd still be a pro-league duelist!" Tracy retorted and Miranda frowned. "I end my turn by the way."
"Point taken." Miranda conceded before drawing her card and looking at her hand. "But I was right about one thing, this duel is over."
"Is it now?" Tracy asked with a raised eyebrow whilst Miranda started inputting commands into her duel disk. "Because from where I stand, we're at a stalemate, your dragons are both stronger than my monster and Kaiser Vorse Raider is a powerful card but I still have all of my life-points left."
"Not for long, I activate the third effect of Mausoleum of White! Once per turn I can add the Spell Card Burst Stream of Destruction to my hand!" Miranda explained before the card ejected out of her deck and she retrieved it. "And now I play that Spell Card! With it I can destroy all monsters you control as long as I control a Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Miranda added as the dragon prepared his attack. "He can't attack the same turn I use this Spell Card but my other monsters can!"
"I realize that I'm starting to sound like a broken record but it won't be that easy." Tracy responded as one of her facedown cards flipped up. "I activate Starlight Road! If at least two of the cards I control would be destroyed by a card effect this trap card negates it." Tracy explained as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon called off his attack. "It has another effect but I can't use it, I need a certain card in my extra deck and its one of the rarest cards in existence, duel academy doesn't pay me enough for me to justify dropping a thousand bucks for a copy from E-Bay."
"Shame, because whatever that card is, it could've saved you." Miranda explained as she sent her Spell Card to the graveyard. "That wasn't my real plan anyway, this was my real plan! I activate A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon!" Miranda played the card and Tracy's eyes widened as the Blue-Eyes that had previously launched his attack at her took flight causing a giant gust of wind destroying Dragon's Rage, Mausoleum of White, Wind Up Factory and Tracy's remaining facedown card. "Out of curiosity, what was that other card?"
"My own copy of Mirror Force." Tracy admitted as she held up the card. "If you had fallen into my trap its very unlikely that you would've survived my next turn."
"But I saw right through it instead." Miranda responded before playing another card. "I activate Trade-In, by discarding the Blue-Eyes White Dragon I just returned to my hand I can draw two cards." Miranda announced as she discarded the monster and drew her cards, when she saw what they were her grin widened. "Oh, if only you knew how much trouble you were in, you'd surrender on the spot!"
"Is that a fact?" Tracy asked with a skeptical look on her face. "Ever heard the phrase "Show, don't tell."."
"Yes, I have, that's why I'm cutting to the chase, I summon Manju of the Thousand Hands!" Miranda played the card and the multi-armed fairy appeared on the field ready for battle (4/1400/1200). "I activate Manju's effect which allows me to add one Ritual Spell Card to my hand." Miranda announced before she started inputting commands into her duel disk and retrieved the card once it ejected from her deck. "Now I activate it, Chaos Form!"
"Chaos Form?!" Tracy asked with a shocked look on her face as Miranda retrieved the Blue-Eyes from her graveyard and Manju disappeared from the field. "Where did you get that card? That's one of the rarest cards available."
"I got it through spending last weekend battling for it and its companion card on E-Bay, why did you think I wasn't around much that weekend?" Miranda asked as she played the card. "Sure, I maxed out a credit card or two in the process but that's easily covered by my allowance and it's paid off! I summon my best monster!" Miranda played the card and a new monster appeared on the field, it was a massive dragon that towered over even Miranda's Blue-Eyes White Dragon and it was silver in color and appeared to have razor sharp wings. "Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon!" (8/4000/0).
"Impressive but we both know that Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is stronger." Tracy responded once she got over the shock and Miranda grinned in response.
"In raw attack power? Maybe." Miranda responded with a grin on her face as she glanced up at her dragon. "But there's more to him than meets the eye but before I do anything else." Miranda added before playing a card. "I activate DDR – Different Dimension Reincarnation! I had to banish the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in my graveyard to summon Chaos MAX Dragon but he won't stay banished for long." Miranda added as she discarded a card and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon returned to the field. "Let's get this show on the road, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, attack Wind-Up Snail!" Miranda commanded and the dragon unleashed a massive steam of energy at the toy snail vaporizing it in an instant and nearly knocking Tracy off her feet.
"At least my Snail was in defense mode." Tracy commented but Miranda shook her head.
"Remember when I said that there was more to Chaos MAX Dragon than meets the eye? That's what I meant." Miranda explained as she folded her arms. "On top of being immune to destruction by card effects or battle when Chaos MAX Dragon attacks a monster in defense mode you take double piercing damage!" Miranda added and Tracy's eyes widened before she glanced at her life-point counter which had indeed plummeted to 4000.
"You may have devastated my life-points but I still have Zenmaines on the field." Tracy responded as she folded her arms. "And for all you know, I could have a card in my hand that could ensure that I survive this round, do you want to take that chance?"
"Your Zenmaines might be formidable, but I want to test just how formidable it is! Blue-Eyes White Dragons, attack Wind-Up Zenmaines, White Lightning!" Miranda commanded and two dragons unleashed their famous attacks on the robot, it survived the first blast thanks to its effect but with no other XYZ Material to protect it the robot was destroyed by the second blast sending Tracy's life-points plummeting down to 1000. "Thanks for the great duel Tracy but I have a graduation ceremony to get too."
"Just save me some Champaign." Tracy responded with a grin which Miranda returned.
"No promises." Miranda responded before pointing to Tracy. "Kaiser Vorse Raider, attack her life-points directly and end this duel!" Miranda commanded and the Beast Warrior charged towards Tracy before slashing her across the chest and sending her life-points down to zero.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match is Obelisk Blue's Miranda Kaiba! As a result, she will join Evan Grant at tonight's graduation ceremony!" Martin announced and Miranda grinned before walking off, however as she passed Tyler she paused for a moment.
"Tyler, we both know that Chelsea's a great duelist." Miranda said as Tyler turned to her. "And we both know how short her temper is, don't hold anything back, otherwise I might be the only Kaiba sibling graduating tonight."
"I'm not about to let that happen." Tyler responded with a nod and Miranda grinned.
"That's what I wanted to hear." Miranda responded before walking off.
"Coming up next we have a clash of the dorms as the youngest Kaiba sibling Tyler gets set to take on Ra Yellow's Chelsea Cunningham!" Martin announced and the crowd cheered as both duelists stepped onto the podium.
"Hope you're ready to fight for your graduation Tyler." Chelsea commented as she activated her duel disk and Tyler did likewise. "Because I won't go down as easily as Sarah or Tracy!"
"Not sure how wise it is to trash talk your dorm headmistress." Tyler commented dryly and Chelsea laughed nervously as a sweat-drop rolled down her head. "But I am ready to earn my place with Evan and Miranda so let's duel!"
