I would like to thank the user lordsoftheroses for helping me write this chapter, providing the character (the new homeroom teacher) and for providing her dialogue and her "Lessons", which will be mentioned in the chapter. Enjoy the chapter! I'm sure you'll like it! And please review, I like the feedback.
*Classroom, Tokyo University Duel Academy*
Everyone was sitting in their seats and Spiral was standing next to Shroud to ask him questions before class started.
"How did you end up in the mirror world in the first place?" Spiral asked.
"I'm not sure." Shroud answered. "I remember that I was washing my hands in the restroom because I took some candy from the front desk. I knew that there was no one else there until a person came in and then I felt like I was pushed into the mirror."
"Did you see the person's reflection?" Spiral continued to ask.
"No, I was too busy washing every crevice of my hand." Shroud didn't seem to know. "For all we know, this person probably didn't know they could push me in and probably bumpe me by accident."
"Well, we can't rule out that possibility." Spiral said.
Spiral then went back to his desk and Naoto started talking to him.
"Spiral, you hear that our new homeroom teacher will be here today?" Naoto informed.
A person was running toward the school with a pile of folders in her left hand and bag on her right shoulder. "Oohh, I'm going to be late!"
"Who do you think will be the replacement?" Spiral wondered.
The person then had to make a sharp turn and pushed a make teacher and used the momentum to continue running down the hall. "MOVE IT!" they shouted.
"I heard that whoever it was is considered a dueling legend." Naoto stated. "One with 'special skills'."
A puddle was in the middle of the hallway, being cleaned by by the janitor, but she jumped over it, kicked the wall, landed on her feet while still holding the folders and bag and looked at the classroom numbers.
"Class is the other way." They realized. Then the person back-flipped over the puddle again and hurried toward the classroom.
"I hope this new teacher isn't as big as an ass as Madaro was." Naoto expressed.
They were closing in on the classroom. "Alllmooost theeeeeere…"
"Yeah, let's hope-" Spiral was about to say when-
BAM!
The doors were knocked down by an attacker who took them down like a football player and this shocked the students. The teacher then threw their bag at the podium, which wrapped itself around it and the teacher made a sliding stop at the podium and slammed the folders onto the desk before the bell rang.
RIIIIING!
"Yes, I'm not late!" The teacher said as she put her fist into the air. "I AM AWESOME!"
The students just stared in shock and disbelief at what just happened. The teacher took a piece of chalk and wrote her name on the board in lovely script handwriting.
"I am your new homeroom teacher." She cheerfully stated. "You can call me 'Ms. Krystal'."
I can't believe this is their new homeroom teacher! She doesn't even dress like a teacher! She was wearing a light blue sleeveless tank top and jeans!
"Before we start class, do any of you have any questions?" Ms. Krystal asked.
"Um, excuse me?" Shroud stood up.
"Yes, to the grey-haired midget boy." Ms. Krystal cheerfully joked.
"Do you honestly believe you can pass for our new teacher?" he asked.
"Yeah." Krystal bluntly told him.
"Impossible," Shroud commented. "Teachers do not dress the way you do."
"Teachers don't have a dress code." Krystal answered. "I can dress any way I want."
"Okay, my next question is how old are you exactly?" Shroud asked.
"24." Krystal answered.
"Now, see, that's another problem." Shroud nitpicked. "The ages of our teachers here are between the ages of 30 and 52. You do not match that demographic and therefore not suited to be our teacher."
"Well, you can take your demographics and shove them up your ass." Krystal glared at Shroud, causing him to sit back down whimpering. "You want to know my qualifications? I studied at New South Wales Academy, graduated as valedictorian with full honors, I was selected to join the World Tournament twice and finished in the Elite 8 twice and I am ranked as one of the Top 25 duelists in the world! Do those meet your qualifications, OCD boy?"
"… Okay, you're acceptable." Shroud simply responded.
"Okay, good." Krystal said with a smile. "Sorry for degrading you. Now let me just look over the syllabus."
As Krystal was looking over the lesson plan, some of the girl students were whispering to each other.
"I know teachers don't have a dress code, but does she really need to dress like that?" One of the female students whispered to another female student.
"I know, right?" The girl whispered back. "That top of hers curves her body a little too well. I mean, look at those boobs! I'm jealous!"
Momo then patted her chest to compare them to Krystal's and sighed.
"Aw, screw it!" Krystal said as she crumpled the syllabus paper and threw it into the trash bin. "It's a lovely day out, so let's take the class outside!"
The class was taken outside the school, in a grassy area that was in the shadow of the school. She had gotten Naoto and Spiral into a duel to see how well they could duel against each other while the other students sat on the grass and watched the duel. Naoto had no cards on his field while Spiral had Legendary Guardian Force Breaker (Lv.4 1900/1100), Legendary Guardian Setsuka (Lv.4 1700/1600) and one card face-down.
Naoto (LP 400) Spiral (LP 2700)
*OOh MAAAN!* Naoto thought sweating. *Why am I being embarrassed like this? I can't beat Spiral! There is nothing I can do!*
"Hey,"
Naoto turned his head and found Ms. Krystal leaning over his shoulder. He blushed furiously as the beautiful woman stood so close to him. As Krystal spoke with Naoto, the guys of the class leaned their heads, as if trying to catch a glimpse of the backside of Ms. Krystal's tight jeans.
"Why don't you play that card?" She asked pointing to a card in Naoto's hand.
"Huh? What good will that do?" He asked her.
Ms. Krystal smiled at him. "Just think for a moment and you'll get it."
Naoto was red as a cherry at Ms. Krystal's smile. She then took a couple steps back and had him think...then he got it.
"First, I summon Aerial Combatant Garu (Lv.4 1800/1550)!" Naoto summoned a warrior wearing green light armor equipped with a jetpack and carrying laser guns. "And when I Normal Summon him, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Wind monster from my hand! I summon Aerial Combatant Gust (Lv.3 1300/1150)!" Naoto summoned a warrior in grey light armor equipped with a jetpack and carrying fan guns. "When I Special Summon Gust, he gains 1 Level! So now I overlay Level 4 Gust and Garu to Xyz Summon Aerial Combatant Sky (Rank 4 2600/1900)!"
Naoto had Xyz Summoned another warrior in light armor with a jetpack, but this one had armor colored azure blue and was carrying swords.
"Now I can detach one of his Xyz Materials to summon a Wind monster from my Deck!" Naoto explained. "I summon Aerial Combatant Jet (Lv.4 1900/1050)!" Naoto summoned a warrior in red armor with a jetpack and twin knives. "And each turn, Sky can destroy one of your Spells or Traps!"
Sky threw one of his swords at Spiral's face-down Sakuretsu Armor and destroyed it.
"Now I activate the Spell Card Aerial Mortar!" Naoto activated a Spell. "Since I control a Wind Xyz Monster, I can destroy one of your monsters!"
Sky flew into the sky and threw his sword at Force Breaker, destroying him.
"Now, Sky, attack Setsuka!" Naoto declared his attack.
Sky flew down at slashed Setsuka with his sword, destroying her and inflicting Spiral with 900 points of damage.
Naoto (LP 400) Spiral (LP 1800)
"Now, Jet, finish him off!" Naoto called his final attack.
Jet slashed Spiral with his twin knives and reduced Spiral's Life Points to 0.
Naoto (LP 400) Spiral (LP 0)
"Holy Crap!" Naoto exclaimed. "I actually won!"
"Good job to both of you!" Krystal happily said. "You were both great!"
The two then took their seats on the grass with the rest of the class. Krystal stood before the class and held up three fingers.
"There are 3 Lessons I will teach you this year." She told them. "If you can learn, understand, and master these 3 lessons, you can become one of the greatest duelists of your generation."
Ms. Krystal held up her first finger.
"Lesson 1: Believe in yourself and your cards. You and your cards are one. If you don't believe in the heart of your cards, they won't believe in you. To start, find a card that speaks to your soul. A card you can believe in. Then build around it."
Ms. Krystal then held up her second finger.
"Lesson 2: Respect your opponent and their cards. You don't have to like them, but you must respect your opponent and the strength of his or her deck. You don't need to like your opponent and make friends, but once the disks are on and the cards are drawn, you must be able to put your anger and pride aside and respect every move they make."
Ms. Krystal then held up her third finger.
"Lesson 3: Find a reason to win. Never Duel just to win for winning's sake. You will always lose. Find a reason why you want to win. As long as you have a goal, your victories will never be empty and you will feel like you have a purpose."
Ms. Krystal put her hand down and looked at the students.
"Does everyone understand?" she asked them.
The next morning, Momo was walking down the hall to homeroom until she stopped when guys started talking to each other.
"Hey, you saw the new teacher, Ms. Krystal, right?"
"Yeah, she has got to be the hottest woman I've ever seen."
"Yeah, even the girls here can't hold a candle to her."
This made Momo feel uneasy and she ran into the girls' restroom. She leaned against the sinks, silent and lost in thought.
