Even with all of this happening, Rosa had went to start more duels with others who had wanted to challenge her. However now something didn't seem right, students were missing and it just could not be explained, it was all okay but then it changed - what was going on?

Soon, majority of the people within Duel Academy cannot remember who they dueled nor can locate their names on the roster. Many have noticed that there were a lot more but it didn't seem like it anymore. It was strange and yet, unsure what anyone could even do.

Soon enough within the next day, more students had been gone missing. A figure approaches Rosa and says nothing but gets his duel disk out to duel her.
The duelist was rather tough, impossible to beat and ended up losing. Like the others, students whom lost to the man who's identity was Trueman, had been taken into the World of Darkness.

What had happened next, not many students knew and only so few little can recall what happened as they were the ones to go up against Nightshroud along with the World of Darkness that had come along with it.

Sky is bright and clear as day, those who have been taken returned and many students run to thank Jaden - once again, his heroic actions come to save the world and graduation ceremony to also begin.

The winners from the Graduation Duels were to be announced by Dr. Crowler but was quite too saddened by it to even tell them, still he did not wish for the third-years to leave but had to as it meant they could take another step forward into all of this.

The results had been announced by Chancellor Sheppard and says that it is a three-way tie between Alexis, Chazz and Syrus. A problem as the winner was able to get a replica of Yugi Moto's deck but all had declined and wanted to keep their own deck with them.

With the Graduation Ceremony starting, the second-year representative, Hassleberry had to come forward and give a farewell speech to all of the third years, like him and a few others felt rather sad and tears were forming in their eyes such amazing third-year students since the first day and leaving like that hurt yet they knew the third-years had to.

After Hassleberry, Alexis, the third-year representative comes out to speak. Her farewell speech is one that many can remember, the friends they have made, how quickly time flew and the incidents that have happened within Duel Academy - so many that people just could not forget, memories like that would last a lifetime with them.

After the speech given by Alexis, the students go and accept the diploma's they have received; for graduating at Duel Academy then heading to the Obelisk Blue dorm for the graduation party.
Arriving, many of the students talked and obviously some were feeling rather sad and yet there were those who were happy to leave in order to fulfil their careers.

The brunette had sighed, her back leaned against the wall and eyes had closed. While everyone already knew what to do with their life after graduation, she did not.
Many picked the life of a pro duelist, others wanted to become a duel teacher or run their own duel school.

Golden hue's gazed at the ground while holding her empty cup that once contained juice, another sigh came out - although relieved as she was for graduating, it wasn't like she knew what to do after.
"Maybe I should try an' find meself a job..."

Rosa muttered, she couldn't stay gloomy at the party, it was such a joy-kill and a certain someone wanted to remind her of that.
"Stop feeling gloomy and cheer up, this is your graduation party Rosa! Enjoy yourself, got that?"

The voice demanding as always, her eyes gazed up to see her raven haired friend have his attempt to make her smile.
"Oh g'day Chazz."

Hopeless, Rosa turns to her side and head resting on the wall as another sigh escapes her lips. Such a sight, Chazz just cannot stand; he frowns and quickly grabs her coat and brings her close to him; it's obvious he's angry but Rosa doesn't look.

"Stop feeling so glum and sorry for yourself! This isn't like you Rosa and you know that! So what if you don't know what to do, who cares! You're the one who's going to make the best out of your life! If you want to take a gap-year then go ahead! You're stopping yourself from doing what you want! You're going to regret not making the most of this party!"

Chazz quickly pushes her away, annoyed and arms folded while the brunette had frowned at herself then shook her head after, wiping the tears that were forming.
"Ya don't even understand..."

She tells him, her head raising and fists clutching, the paper cup scrunched up and throws it in the bin, landing perfectly in.
"...ya 'lready know what yer gonna do. It ain't like I can jus' get up an' leave, travel to wherever I like. I can't jus' do that..."

He couldn't believe what he was hearing, she was giving up on herself like that and it was sick. He didn't want to hit her or make more of a scene then already and decided to calm down before speaking. His hand placed on her shoulder and bringing her in for her to sob on his jacket. He wasn't so caring like this, but somewhat Rosa was like him in a few ways - even if they did seem quite different.

He knew she couldn't head back to America, she couldn't face her father after so long of not speaking nor seeing him; there was surely a reason why she didn't want to become a pro duelist, he somewhat felt that she thought she wasn't good enough to make it. And as good as an artist Rosa was, it would mean she would have to see her father at work just about every day.

"You're just tormenting yourself, you know that?"
Chazz says, knowing that it was true - she couldn't stand up and speak to her father, she didn't seem to have much faith in being a professional...what was she to do?
His eyes gazed away from her then back down where he parted away then scratched the side of his head, he may have an idea after all.

"For now, just do what you like. There's no need to rush, okay?"
He didn't like seeing any girl cry, especially if he caused it. He did want to try and cheer her up in the best possible way.

"I have a duel in two weeks..." As much as he hated to say it, he knew she would instantly jump for joy.
"...why don't you come and watch and join me after my victory, Aster is going to be there."
Just the mention of Aster's name would make Rosa's heart skip a beat and feel rather happy to see him, so many warm feelings inside when seeing him.

"Ay? Thank's Chazz, yer jus' so thoughtful."
A smile brought to her face which cheers her up right away - how she cannot wait to see Aster again.
