The next day
Alex's pov
I grabbed all of my cards and quickly shuffled them into a deck which I placed in my duel disk, I can't wait for duel school I'll finally be able to make some friends! I packed my book bag with the necessary items from the list sent to me from school, after getting all of my things together and getting dressed I went downstairs before leaving my mom gave me a hug before she went to work and then I was off to duel school. On the way to duel school I saw others heading in the same direction with their friends, after a few minutes I had arrived at duel school I was to go to classroom A-1 with other kids around my age, as I walked through the rather large halls I saw the class A-1 sign and entered taking a seat at one of the tables after placing my things under the table soon more people came in and sat down. After a few seconds the teacher arrived he was wearing glasses, an apron, jeans and a nice looking plaid shirt. " Hello everybody welcome to duel school I'll be your teacher I hope we'll get along together as we go through the basics of dueling, now then I'll be taking roll call evryone so when you hear you're name please say here, he took out a clipboard and adjusted his glasses, Lets see here, he went through the list each student responding When called eventually I was called and promptly responded a few names later the list was over with no one missing, Alright now that I know everyone is here lets take out our note books since its the first day I want everyone to think of a few things like favorite color or food and so on then we'll do class introductions of course I'll go first as as example." Eventually evryone had introduced themselves and then we we were told to follow the teacher as he gave us a tour around school from the lowest grade levels were we were to the upper grade levels and the outside areas. The school was magnificent everything was set up nicely with a statue of the schools founder in a foundation in a central area. After we toured the school we went back to the classroom. " Alright class during this school year although short you will be learning the basics of the game I'm sure most of you already have a pretty good handle of the duelist kingdom rules used for children however moving on from here on out those rules you know mostly don't apply, so let's all go over the basics again."
The teacher drew three cards on the board one purple one orangish yellow and one teal. " If anyone doesn't know the main card types can be sorted into 3 categories which are Monsters, Spells and Trap cards I'm sure you know what they look like however what is there pourpos? Can somebody answer this for me, eager to answer me and a few kids raised their hands in anticipation. " Hmmmmmmm lets see how about you answer for us Dallian."
" Monsters are used to beat the opponent", he stated with confidence the teacher smiled, "Close but your just a little bit off monsters are used to defeat an opponent however there's a lot more to it than just using your monsters freely, for example say my opponent has a strong monster and I have a weak one I can change my monsters position to defend myself, monsters are usually what gets the game going and by playing monsters the game state will shift in someone's favor weather it's from the strength of the monster or its effect that is giving you the upper hand, however some decks don't use a single monster and focus on spells and traps however you'll learn about those later. Other uses for monsters rely on thier effects and compatibility with each other, for instance if I use dragons my monsters would tend to be heavily focused on their power in one monster. Each type of monster has a separate focus however it is up to you on using them to obtain victory. Now then something important to understand about monsters is though they may be different types they belong to the same archatype. Can anyone Explain what an archatype is?"
For a few seconds the room remained silent most of us pondering what that meant. Then I raised my hand. " Think you've got it Alex?" I nodded, " Let's hear it." " An archatype is a series of spells, traps and monsters that work effectively and efficiently together towards the goal of defeating your opponent." The teacher remained silent for a few seconds, " That's very good you got it right Alex."
The rest of that class we learned about the different uses for each monster type and eventually we learned about something called an extra deck though I didn't quite understand what that is from its explanation. The teacher told us that tomorrow we would go over the uses of spell cards since the school day was over. So I grabbed my stuff and started heading home with a skip in my step.
