AN:Hi everyone, me again! Sorry I haven't updated lately but with the holidays and everything I've been more than a little busy so please forgive me.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yugioh Zexal. Where's a demon when you need one?

In the last chapter we learned a little bit more about the new Yuma and the events of his past. Now on with the story!

" I'm telling you the truth guys! He's like a completely different person! " For the past twenty minutes Alit has been trying and failing to convince Yuma's other friends, Tetsuo and Kotori about the strange way Yuma had been acting last night. " Come on! I mean with one look he scared Vector shit less, Isn't that enough evidence!? " Everyone turned to Vector who gave Alit a dirty look but said nothing.

" Then again Yuma always has had a certain way with Vector. " Kotori reasoned. " He did somehow make Vector his friend after all. "

" Exactly! " Alit screamed. " The old Yuma wouldn't have even thought of scaring one of his friends, but this Yuma seemed to actually enjoy it! "

" Don't you think you're exaggerating how different Yuma really is just a little? " Tetsuo doubted. " I mean he looks about the same to me. "

" Huh? " Alit tilted his head in confusion and Tetsuo pointed to the door leading to the class room. Alit couldn't believe his eyes when he saw what looked like the old Yuma walk into the classroom, wearing his school uniform. His hair put back into two red spiked bangs with four black spikes around the base of his neck, the emperor's key hanging loosely on a rope around his neck, and Astral following closely behind. The only difference you could really see was that Yuma was now obviously a few inches taller than before and the way he walked was a lot more graceful than before.

Yuma saw his friends and gave a slight smile and wave as he made their way to them." How is everyone today? " Yuma said in a voice that sounded like his without even a hint of the thick accent he showed the night before.

" Pretty good now that you're back! " Tetsuo said with a smile as he gave Yuma a pat on the back.

" What the hell!? "Everyone turned to see Vector jump out of his as he rushed toward them and came face to face with Yuma. " What happened to the whole ' can't act like the whole me because it would be lying' thing!? Or was that just a lie to!? "

" Who said I was lying? " Yuma said with a smirk on his face that made Vector shrink back and Yuma's other friends look in slight fear. " I simply changed my appearance not my personality. You yourself have your Barian do you not? " Vector gave a small nod. " Exactly. And even though your appearance changes you are still Vector are you not? " Another small nod. " Exactly. So even though I may look different I am no different inside. Do you understand me? " Yet another nod.

Yuma immediately went back to his happier personality. " Wonderful!" Yuma shouted. And to be perfectly honest I'm only going this far to be nice to Akari since it was her first order and she is family. Now class is about to start so I suggest you all head back to your seats. "

Everyone practically ran each other over scrambling back to their seats. Everyone was now seated as the math class started. The teacher put a question up that seemed to cover almost half the bored and no one could solve no matter how long they worked it out. Yuma wasn't even trying to solve the problem ad was instead working out a menu of foods to serve Akari for the week.

" Yuma, maybe you should at least attempt to work out the problem. " Astral said, a little worried. "You don't know if the teacher might call on you or not. "

" I am fine. " Yuma responded. " Besides figuring out a menu changed to someone's preferences is a difficult process and must be put under careful consideration. "

" Mr. Tsukumo,. " Called Yuma's teacher in a slightly annoyed tone. " Since you're so talkative I'm sure you have the answer to the problem? "

Yuma gave a little sigh and glanced at the bored before looking back down at the menu and saying. " X= A+12( 4f +/- 5d) - 1 " ( I completely made this up. )

The teacher had a completely shocked face as he said. " That's right. Well done Mr. Tsukumo. " Everyone else was in aw of hearing that Yuma got it right.

Later during a free period everyone was talking about e=what happened in the math class while Yuma stood against a wall further away reading a book. " Can you believe he actually got it right? " Tetsuo said in disbelief.

Alit jumped in his face shouting " Ha! I told you he was like a completely different person! "

Tetsuo backed away a little. " Sorry I ever doubted you. "

Everyone suddenly turned towards Yuma when they heard someone say. " I bet you think your so smart!? " They saw three older students who were known to be aggressive bullies surround Yuma as he ignored them and continued reading. " Don't ignore me! " The leader swung at Yuma. Everyone was about to get up to help Yuma when he moved his head out off the way at the last second and the leader hit the wall instead.

The leader screamed and pulled back a bloody and broken fist. He turned to the other guys and screamed, " Don't just stand there losers get him! " The other two went after Yuma and right before hitting him he jumped high into the air and landed on one of the guy's heads. He then jumps back up does a little flip and lands on the other guys shoulders and flips him with his legs into the leader before returning back to his position against the wall like nothing ever happened. Never once did he stop reading the book the whole time.

Yuma's friend saw the whole thing and now watch him with a mix of aw and fear.

AN: Well that's all for now. Thanks for waiting! Don't forget to review!
