The hallways of the school cleared out as the bell rang. Most students couldn't wait to get out of the school. Most having jobs or other business to attend to. But Yoichi was instructed by Mr. Kagome to be at room 115 after school. I wonder if this means I made the club. But who knows with Mr. Kagome. He could just be telling me to come for a surprise audition. That probably isn't a great impression of your teacher to have after the first week of school.
As Yoichi reached to open the door the door swung open. Rushing out was a blonde girl carrying a stack of papers. "Watch out!" Their bodies collide sending the both of them onto the ground. The stack of papers quickly sliding over Yoichi's face. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!"
"Huh? Who said that?" Yoichi attempted to sit up causing all the papers to slide off of him. "Uh...sorry about that. Guess I should watch where i'm going." He started moving all the loose papers into her stack.
"It's fine. Really. I'm just a bit of a clutz to begin with! Oh, my name is Katsuki Takahashi! Are you here for the duel club?" She continued to organize the papers as best as she could.
"Yea! And uh, my names Yoichi. Yoichi Ookitokai." Katsuki continued to move her papers into a pile until she realized that she was on top of him. She quickly moved her stack and stood up.
"Well you better get to the club. The president hates...well let's say incompetence. I have to run these to the office. So i'll be back in a second!" She ran off to the office to complete whatever errand she was running.
Yoichi brought himself up to his feet. "Well that was...new." He went back to open the door. "Hope the rest of them aren't that scatterbrained." He opened the door, and to his shock most of the club was silent. The only noise was coming from one of the club members. Who was talking at another club member. The other two were keeping to themselves writing things down.
Seeing that one of the only quiet club members was sitting by himself. He thought that he would do the kind thing and try and keep him company. The members head was facing down. So Yoichi couldn't make out who was sitting there. "Hey! I'm Yoichi!" He reached out his hand for a handshake.
"Hmm?" The other member looked up at him. Revealing that it was Shoichi, from his duel test. Yoichi's face dropped immediately when he saw him. "Ah! It's the prince!" He stood up. "Please. Take my seat." He gave a bow. "It would be my honor for you to take my seat."
"U-uh. No worries! I think i'll just grab a seat by someone else." He slowly backed away moving closer to the conversation that he heard when he entered. Yoichi slipped into the seat next to the only person in the club who was talking.
Before he had anytime to say hello he was put into a headlock by the person sitting beside him. "Yooo! You're the last new member right? Good to meet you! I'm Natsuo. I was just having a conversation with the other new member, Amai!"
Amai was sitting on the other side of Natsuo. She sat with her hands in her lap, and an uncomfortable look on her face. "H-hi." She shyed her head away from contact with him. Not that he would have given it back. He was too busy trying not to suffocate.
"C-can't b-breath!" He attempted to pry Natsuo's arms off from his neck.
"Huh? Oh!" Natsuo let off. "Sorry. That's how my family greets each other. Well...me and my brothers at least."
Yoichi grasped at his neck attempting to get his breath back. "N-no problem. Just try not to do it again." He let out a cough clearing out his throat. Seeing a moment to relax. He propped his feet onto the desk. As he relaxes at his desk his eyes shut themselves. Probably needing some extra rest.
Bam! A hard sound filled his ears before he could fall asleep. His eyes snapped open as he jumped out of his seat. "What? Who did that?"
Standing in front of him was the president of the duel club. She stood tall and proud with her black hair falling just above her waist. Her arms were crossed as she gave a dazing scowl. She put a hand on his shoulder, gripping it just a tiny bit. "You're the third new club member. Let me congratulate you on your duel test. But your high scores won't help you past this point. I take being the president of Duel club dead seriously." She moved a bit into his personal space. "So you either bring your A-game. Or i'll have no problems kicking you out. Understood?"
Yoichi was shocked at how intimidating she could be by just speaking. He could feel her presence all over his body. "Y-yea." He sat back down, not wanting to get kicked out of club on his first day.
During the awkward silence in the room. The door flew open drawing the attention of everyone in the room, except Soichi who was focused on his writing. "Wheeeew!" Katsuki nearly fell over as she walked into the room. "That stack got way to heavy!" She waddled over to the President. "Kenchi, please tell me that's all the paperwork you needed me to deliver."
Kenchi gave Katsuki a pat on the head. "Don't worry. That's everything we had for today. Why don't you go and take a seat while I speak to the club."
"Haaaaaaah~ Thanks." She gave a sigh of huge proportions as she slid into the chair next to Amai. She then laid sideways, putting her head on Amai's lap. Causing her to squirm as the upperclassmen's head laid in her lap.
Kenchi tapped the blackboard with a piece of chalk. "Attention." She waited for all of the club members to turn their attention to her. "Hello. For those of you who don't know. I am Kenchi Yamauchi, and I am the active president of the Northern Academy Duel Monsters club." She began drawing a chart on the board. "Now allow me to explain how our events will proceed throughout the school year."
The club watched as she made various charts on the blackboard. "Now then. Our district will duel against the two different clubs that operate in our district. We'll be facing them this weekend, and next weekend. With two teams of three. After that, next month we'll be participating in the regional tournaments. Where we'll be facing off against the best duelists of the other districts. And if we do well enough in that, we'll be allowed spots in the yearly Champions division. Where we'll have the chance to duel against real champions. Last year we only managed to secure two spots. But this year I expect us to have at least three this year." She put down her chalk as she finished writing everything. "Are there any questions?"
Amai, shockingly, was the only one who rose her hand. Katsuki would have put her hand up. But her arms were still destroyed from carrying all those stacks of paper back and forth. She pointed at Amai. "O-oh um…well…I was just wondering how we were going to pick who goes on what team."
"That's a good question. I was thinking we would put all the freshmen on one team. But then Katsuki provided the better idea of just having all of us pull popsicle sticks." She picked up a can with said sticks in them. "The ones with black stripes on the end will be dueling the local Duel monster club representing the Millennium eye card shop. The second team will be dueling the…" Kenchi rolled her eyes. "The "Magic arts" Private school." She placed the can back on the teacher's desk. "Now then. Each of you will come up here and draw a stick. Once everyone has one we'll draw up the teams for the first club event." The club approached the desk, all of them taking their own sticks. "Alright. Everyone with a black line on there stick stand in front of the board."
Looking at his stick, Yoichi saw that he had drawn one with a black line. When he moved in front of the black board he noticed that the other freshman were also with him. "Huh…so I guess we're a team." He felt a large force bind him from behind him.
"Alright! Looks like team freshman is gonna rock that card shops world!" He lifted up his two new friends in his arms. They both just flailed as they got lifted by their new friend.
