Chapter 1.
"Man! I'm going to be late!" Jaden yelled running towards the testing ground. He promised his father he would enter dual academy and make some friends, and also make sure it was exactly how his dad left it.
"I tried waking you Jaden but you must've been exhausted from all the training and studying. Not to mention you're a pro duelist." Yubel said.
"Yeah but still.." Jaden started before running into someone. "Oh sorry...oh Yugi."
Yugi smiled and patted Jaden on the head. "Well if it isn't one of my students. Heading to the testing ground?"
"Yeah, Mana and Alice will be upset if I'm late. Especially Alice."
"That reminds me," Yugi said, pulling out three packs and handing them to Jaden. "Here, these are for you and the girls. It'll help, everyone needs an Ace." Yugi said before turning and walking away. "Goodluck, Jaden."
He soon made it to the testing site and in front of the table were two attendees. "Hi, did I make it. I'm Jaden Yuki K." Jaden introduced.
"Hmm, Ah..Wait, you're?" Jaden put a finger to his lip. The Attendee nodded. "I see, well this school will be happy to have you." jaden nodded and left. The attendee smiled. "I can't believe The Mask Vigilante is entering the school."
Jaden walked in and saw several test duels going on, he walked next to a light blue haired kid who was standing by a rail. "Now let's see the competition." Jaden said watching a student wearing white, with black hair. He had a Vorse Raider on the field
Student LP: 3200
Instructor LP: 1400
"Alright new guy, multiple choice, you got two monsters staring you down. Do you A) throw in the towel, B) beg for mercy, or C) run home to momma?" The Instructor taunted.
"I'll go with D) none of the above." the student said, activating a trap.
"A trap?"
"Exactly, you see with Ring of Destruction, I can destroy any monster on the field that's in attack mode and we both take damage equal to that monster's attack points." The student said, using his trap on his monster which had 1900 attack points. The ring was placed around the monster and it exploded, dealing both the player damage.
Students: 3200-1900= 1300
Instructor: 1900-1900=0
"Clever move new applicant, welcome to the academy." The instructor said. The kid bowed with a thank you before leaving.
"Wow that kid is pretty good, wouldn't you say Chazz?" a random obelisk blue said.
"I guess the rumors about him being a wiz is true, huh Chazz." another one added.
"That kid is a punk, we went through duel prep school for 3 years, we're ready for the academy. These chumps don't know what they are getting into but they'll learn the hard way.." Chazz commented.
Jaden had his hands folded and smirked. "That last guy did good. Duel Academy might be exciting after all."
"That's Bastion Misawa, they said he got the highest score of all our applicants." the kid with the glasses commented.
"Well, he couldn't have since I got a perfect score." Jaden said, surprising the kid.
"Wow, I just barely passed. My name is Syrus by the way." Syrus introduced himself.
"Jaden, nice to meet you." Jaden said. "Now it should be time for my duel."
"You haven't dueled yet? I think this is supposed to be the last." Syrus said. Jaden shook his head with a smile.
"It won't, I guarantee that."
The instructors were about to leave when an attendee approached Crowler. "Excuse me but there is one more student here to take the test."
"Well tell the poor soul he has to come back next year." Crowler said before his phone rang. He answered it. "Hello and who may I ask is.."
"Is Seto Kaiba, now do not speak because I'm going to make it quick. Last year we received complaints about students passing the written portion but were sent home for petty reasons like being late and they happened to mention a purple lipstick clown. Make sure all the students take the test or you will kiss your ass goodbye." Kaiba said. Crowler shivered and felt a cold sensation go down his spine.
"Yes sir, of course." Crawler responded. Crawler stood up and walked away. 'I'll test the flunkie myself and make sure he doesn't get into this school.'
Bastion walked up and sat down. "Great move Bastion, but it was kinda risky with the face down of the instructor.
"Thank you, may I ask who you are?" Bastion replied.
"Jaden Yuki please report to examine field 4." the announcement called, gaining the brunette attention. "That's me, I'll see you two later."
Bastion and Syrus looked at him as he walked away. "Hey," The two turned to two girls. Both were wearing black skirts with a sleeveless top to match. One looked like a Dark magician girl, which made Syrus blush, but she had brown hair. The other had blonde hair and looked like Mai Valentine but her hair was in a twist over her shoulder. "Have you seen a person named Jaden?"
"Um yeah, he actually left for his test."
"Sweet, we actually get to see some good dueling. By the way Misawa, I witnessed your duel. You just might be the fourth best duelist here." Mana said.
"The fourth? Who's the first three?" Bastion asked.
"Well Mana and I are the 3rd and 2nd, my name is Alice by the way." the blonde said.
"Well, who's the first?" Syrus jumped in. Mana giggled and winked at the boy making him blush harder.
"Why is Jaden of course, he is scary good. He is friendly but when he duels, it's like he's a new person." Mana explained. Syrus and Bastion turned to the field. Mana looked up and smiled. "Hey Alice, Alexis is there. Let's go say hi."
Jaden arrived on the duel arena through the floor. "Alright let's get started." Jaden turned to his opponent. It was a man-lady thing. "Well son, your name."
Jaden looked at him and smiled. "Jaden Yuki K."
"Well Jaden Yuki K. My name is Dr. Vellian Crowler, department chair of techniques here at Duel Academy." crowler said.
"That's good to hear, I'm sure you earned it. But you can dress a little better, you kinda look like a mascot." Jaden responded. Some of the obelisk blue seethed at the comment, thanking the flunkie was a nobody.
"Well I think we should get on with the test so let's duel."
Jaden: 4000
Crowler: 4000
"I'll go first."Jaden said, drawing a card. He looked at his hand and smiled. "First I'll play winged-kuriboh in defence mode, then I use foolish burial to send a card from my deck to the graveyard and end my turn." Jaden said.
Winged-Kuriboh-atk: 300/ def: 200.
[If this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the GY: For the rest of this turn, you take no battle damage.]
"Wow, I thought he might do something more. If that's all he's got, he's in trouble." A blonde named Alexis said.
"Hmm, I wouldn't underestimate him Alexis, by the fire in his eye, I can tell he's up to something." Zane commented.
"You'll be right about that, Zane." The two obelisk blue turn to see Alice and Hana walking towards them. Alice smirked. "My cousin always does this, he's analyzing Crowler."
"Wait. this guy is the reason you two haven't joined obelisk or ra?" Alexis asked.
"That's right, we all decided we'll be the same rank together, not that rank matters." Mana said with a smile.
"Hold on, you said he's your cousin? So his father must be.." Zane's eyes widened and smiled. "Crowler is going to have a hard time."
"Why, who's his father?' Alexis asked. When no one answered, she turned to the field.
"That's it, I'm not impressed. I play two face downs and then I play Heavy storm! This card destroys every spell and trap card on the field." Crowler said, destroying his two facedowns.
"I see, let me guess. Your two face downs are Statue of the wicked?"
"Good guess for a slacker." Crowler commented, as two serpent-like creatures appeared in front of him.
"A card like that shouldn't be in any of the test decks so Crowler must be using his own" Said the obelisk blue next to Chazz.
"Well good, it'll teach that slacker to learn his place." Chazz commented. "I wish he did the same to all the other flunkies."
"What a snob, bullying some new kid." Alexis said.
"Don't worry, I bet Jaden won't even take a hit to his life points." Alice said.
"How good is he?" Zane asked.
"Once you see his cards, you should recognize him. Mana said. Zane cocked an eyebrow and turned back to the field.
"I want to see the rare monster Crowler has hidden in his deck." Zane said.
"I sacrifice my two wicked tokens to summon Ancient Gear Golem!" Crowler said. Summon a giant machine.
Ancient Gear Golem- atk: 3000/ def: 3000
[Cannot be Special Summoned. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage.]
Crowler began to chuckle. "I hope you're not afraid of my legendary rare monster." Crowler taunted.
"Eh, I've seen better, plus it'll be fun turning it to scrap" Jaden said. Crowler gritted his teeth, while everyone gasped.
"Either Jaden is brave or he's insane." Syrus said.
"He's not even scared, he's staring down that monster without a care in the world." Zane commented.
Alexis was watching Jaden with a smile. Ever since she joined Duel Academy, all she saw was obnoxious guys who only cared about winning. But Jaden looked like he's having fun and something about his aura made her believe he would win.
"Hahaha, well that's about to change, Golem attack and destroy the fuzz ball." Ancient gear sent a punch to Kuribo, destroying it. Jaden was covered in smoke.
"Ouch, and the worst part is that golems effect deal damage from difference in attack and defence." Alexis said, concerned for Jaden. But to everyone's shock, Jaden was just standing there with his LP unscathed.
"Um, check your gear. Your LP hasn't changed." Crowler said.
"I know, thanks to Kuriboh, the turn he's destroyed. I take no damage." Jaden said, causing Crowler to gasp.
"Wow, some luck Jaden has. He was saved." Alexis commented.
Mana chuckled. "No, I guarantee, jaden had a back up plan if crowler destroyed his monster with an effect. He does this all the time and never loses."
"Fine I end my turn." Crowler said.
"Good. my turn and I draw." Jaden said. He smirked when he saw his hand. Mana and Alice saw this and giggled. Zane and Alexis turned to the two, which was noticed by the others.
"When he smirks like that, it means it's over." Alice said, making the other eyes widen. Hana was glued to the Arena.
"This is going to be great, wonder what hero he'll bring out?" Mana said, before covering her mouth.
"Hero?" Zam asked himself, before his eyes widened. "You mean he uses Elemental heroes? But that means.."
"It's over." Jaden said in a monstrous voice, startling everyone. "I'll start by playing polymerization. It allows me to fuse my Elemental Hero Avian and Burstinatrix in my hand." Avian and Burstinatrix appeared on the field battle ready.
"Hey Jaden, I guess it's time?" Avian asked.
"And look, we get to take out a golem? How nice, it's a good debut." Burstinatrix responded.
"That's right, now do your thing and Unite." The two heroes leapt into the air and joined together. "Now I present the Elemental hero Flame Wingman.
Elemental Hero Flame Wingman- atk:2100/ def:1200
"Elemental HERO Avian" + "Elemental HERO Burstinatrix"
[ Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster in the Graveyard.]
"Hmm, all that for a weak monster, it's a shame because with the wingman effect, he would've been able to deal damage equal to a destroyed monster attack." Bastion commented.
"That's all? The way you two were talking about him, I had higher expectations." Alexis said, feeling a bit disappointed, especially since she found him cute.
"He's going to win, Alexis." Zane said, gaining her attention. "After all, he's the Mask Vigilante, am I right?" He asked, turning to Alice, who just kept smiling. Alexis' eyes widened.
"You mean he's that pro duelist?" Alexis asked.
Chazz overheard this. "He's him, the Hero master. The one who's still undefeated in the circuit?" Chazz asked out loud, causing everyone to gasp.
"Wait, if he is him and you're related. There was a rumor the Mask Vigilante would team up with two othe pros both happen to be females. The Rainbow Sorceress and The Magnet queen, are you two..?" Zane asked the girls.
Mana chuckled. "I guess you caught us." Causing every student to turn to the girls and back at Jaden. Crowler was quivering in fear.
Jaden rubbed the front of his face. "I guess my secret is out. Anyway, I activate the spell Miracle fusion. Now I can fuse monsters from my hand, field or graveyard. And I will fuse Avian and Burstinatrix again."
"So what, he's going to make another wingman?" Alexis asked.
"No, it seems he is going to use him." Alice said.
"Now you may be thinking, why make another wingman but I'm not. Elemental Heroes can make another hero and depending on the attribute, will determine the hero. Now allow me to introduce the Elemental Hero Great Tornado!" Jaden said, Summoning a Hero wearing a green Hero wearing a torn cape.
Elemental Hero Great Tornado- atk: 2800/ def: 2200
1 "Elemental HERO" monster + 1 WIND monster
[Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. If this card is Fusion Summoned: Halve the ATK and DEF of all face-up monsters your opponent currently controls.]
"It's been a while since I was summoned." Tornado said.
"I'll say, good to see you old friend." Wingman said.
"Nice job but those two are still weak, compared to my golem." Crowler taunted.
"Yeah, but Tornado has a powerful ability. When he is summoned, he halves all your monster attack points." Crowler paled as his golem got weaker.
Ancient Gear Golem- atk: 3000/2 = 1500
"Now, Wingman attack his golem!" Jaden commanded. Wingman flew in the air and dived down covered in fire, Destroying the Golem. "And don't forget about wingman ability, your monster attack points come out of your Lp.
Crowler: 4000 - 600= 3400-1500= 1900
Jaden: 4000
The audience gasped, Jaden had just taken out the Ancient gear Golem like it was nothing. Crowler was on the ground shaking. Jaden smirked. "Now Tornado end this.' Tornado nodded and shot a tornado blast at Crowler.
Crowler: 1900 - 2800= 0
Jaden: 4000
"And that's game, too bad you didn't lay a face down card. You left your golem unprotected. Remember when I played Foolish Burial and sent a card to the graveyard? It was Necro Gardna. Which means, if you had destroyed my Kuriboh with an effect, I could've negated one of your attacks. You're supposed to be an expert, but I think you could use some work. That's game" Jaden said with a pose, causing multiple girls to squeal with hearts in their eyes.
"Wow, he took down Crowler with ease. I guess you two were right. He belongs here" Alexis said. 'He's kinda cute when he smiles and he might be able to knock the stick out of some of these obelisk asses. Alexis thought with a blush.
"He also was prepared for a second Attack, not only that. He beat Crowler without losing a single LP. I might have some decent competition." Zane commented.
"Did you see that Chazz? He took on Crowler with a struggle."
"So this is a pro, big deal. He won't beat me." Chazz commented, gritting his teeth.
"Astounding, truly magnificent." bastion said.
"I'll say, he'll definitely be in obelisk." Syrus said.
'I can't believe that slacker humiliated me like this, he will pay.' Crowler seethed, gritting his teeth. Jaden made his way up the stairs, and noticed Alice And Mana making their way towards him. Hana gave him a huge hug and Alice gave him a high-five. "Amazing as always."
"Thanks, I'm pretty sure you could've done better. Oh" Jaden said. Jaden said pulling out some packs handing one two Mana and Alice. "Yugi told me to give that to you."
"Dad did?" Hana asked, storing the card in her pocket. "So you think you made it to obelisk blue?"
"There's no doubt, with his grades and performance. The only way he wouldn't is if Crowler's petty enough to put him in Slifer for embarrassing him." Alice said. The three paused for a moment and the doctor down below. "You should call Uncle Seto just in case."
"Fine, but let's go to Yellow. I overheard some of the blues. They're kinda obnoxious. I bring them down a peg before joining." Jaden said. The girls nodded.
"It doesn't matter because whatever dorm we're in, will be the best." Mana said. Jaden and Alice agreed. Yubel appeared in front of the two girls. "Hey Yubel.
"It's good to see you two." the duel spirit said.
So Jay, who's the cutie in the glasses?" Mana asked.
Jaden gave her a confused look, thinking about who she could be talking about until it hit him. "Oh, you mean Syrus. From what he told me, he is most likely going to be in Slifer. Too bad, he seems cool."
'Slifer huh.' Mana thought to herself. Soon the day ended and everyone left.
Kaiba Residence
Kaiba was at his desk, when he noticed his son walking in. "Jaden, how was the test?"
Jaden sat on a couch in the office. "Didn't lose a single Lp. even the tester used his actual deck."
Kaiba narrowed his eyes. "Was it Crowler?"
"You guessed it pops, I damage his pride. So most likely he's going to try and send me to Slifer."
"Well that's not going to happen, I'll override his authority and put you in blue."
"Actually, Me and Alice wouldn't mind Ra. Some of the guys in blue used money to get there, so me and Alice thought we'd knock them down a peg. Mana said she would join Slifer with her new friend. After we pull the sticks out their ass, we'll join blue. Also to help with this idea, I came up with a new system. The 7 knights."
"And what are the 7 knights?" Seto asked.
"Well, we have a point system where our duel disk records our wins, how we win and strategies we took to win. Whoever has the most points out of 7 people would be considered the 7 best duelist in the school regardless of rank and it'll destroy the arrogance of most people. Include the teachers as well, because Crowler looks like a pain in the ass."
Seto thought about this, it would be a fair system and bring out the competition. Plus he would be in control. "That sounds like a good Idea, and I'll give them authorities to allow duels on campus like the teachers and their own special duel disk. It'll also bring out the talent and competition. I approve." Kaiba said. "I'll prepare your uniform and do me a favor, I heard rumors that the slifer dorm looks like a shack. Let me know when you get there. I will not have my staff disrespect the gods."
