Everyone was gathering in the duel arena as Chazz was preparing to duel first year Obelisk Blue student Reginald Van Howell III.
Reginald: Look who it is, the guy who got booted from the blues last year. You're going down.
Chazz: Look kid, you're an obnoxious little punk, and I can respect that, but no snot-nosed freshman can stand up to the Chazz.
Meanwhile, Jaden, Syrus, and Alexis were running to get to the arena before the duel started.
Jaden: Come on, we're gonna be late for the first official duel of the year!
Syrus: How come I never see you running this fast when you're late for a class?
Alexis: Because he saves his energy to run out of class.
They all made it in just as Bonaparte began announcing the duel.
Bonaparte: In this corner, former Obelisk Blue student Chazz Princeton. If he wins, he gets to return to the blue dorm. Standing in his way is the top freshman duelist, Reginald Van Howell the Third!
Jaden: Wow, if Chazz wins he gets a free pass back to Obelisk Blue.
Syrus: Yeah, but if you ask me, that should've been you. I mean you beat my brother in the grad match last year.
Crowler: I have a reason.
Syrus: Dr. Crowler?
Crowler: That's Chancellor Crowler, Mr. Truesdale. I'm sure you've all heard the rumors that Aster Phoenix enrolled in this year's freshman class at Duel Academy?
Jaden: We heard, but then if it's true, why isn't he here?
Crowler: I don't know. He never showed up. We were hoping Aster enrolling would give the school some good publicity, but after he's left, once word gets out, the academy will be a laughingstock, which is why I put this duel together.
Alexis: But why Chazz and not Jaden?
Crowler: While Jaden has impressive dueling skills, so does Chazz. And with Chazz hailing from the Princeton family, he'd make a great celebrity duelist. I would've considered Michael for this, but since he joined the pro leagues this year, Chazz was the best option.
Syrus: I guess that does make sense.
Jaden: So why the duel?
Crowler: I believe it would reflect poorly on the school for Chazz to be the face of the academy and still be in the lowest dorm, which is why I set up this duel.
Bonaparte: Alright, you know the drill: no direct attacks below the belt, but trash talk is encouraged.
Reginald: Then allow me to kick off the insults. You're a nasty stuck-up snob and nobody likes you.
Chazz: I'm waiting for the insult, kid. Maybe you haven't picked up on this little Reggie, but I do things my way, and I didn't come her to win any popularity contests.
Jaden: Tell us something we don't know.
Chazz: Let's get on with it. Talk is cheap, and unlike you, I don't do cheap.
Bonaparte: Now that the insults have been hurled, let's hurl some cards.
Chazz & Reginald: Sounds good. Let's duel!
Reginald: 4000 LP
Chazz: 4000 LP
Reginald: I'll start this duel, and I summon Marauding Captain in attack mode.
Level 3/Earth/Warrior
ATK 1200/DEF 400
Reginald: And due to his special ability, I can summon a level 4 or lower monster from my hand to join him, so I summon Warrior Lady of the Wasteland in attack mode!
Level 4/Earth/Warrior
ATK 1100/DEF 1200
Chazz: Can I yawn yet, or do you have some more lame cards? Please tell me you're done.
Reginald: Not by a long shot Chazzy. I play the equip spells Jewel Sword and Divine Sword Phoenix Blade, giving both my monsters an extra 300 attack points.
Captain: 1200-1500 ATK
Warrior Lady: 1100-1400 ATK
Syrus: Not bad. He's really giving Chazz a run for his money guys.
Jaden: Yeah, and Chazz has a ton of cash.
Reginald: I'll place one card face-down and end my turn. Looks like you're up Chazz-ball, think you have what it takes? Rumor has it you have the best deck money can buy, now let's see if it was worth it.
Chazz: Do you ever shut up? I draw! First, I summon X-Head Cannon in attack mode!
Level 4/Light/Machine
ATK 1800/DEF 1500
Chazz: Next, I play the spell Graceful Charity, so now I can draw three new cards as long as I ditch two, and the cards I'm discarding are Chthonian Polymer and Ojamagic.
Reginald: Ojama who?
Chazz: Ojamagic. And due to its effect, when it's sent from my hand or field to the graveyard, I can add one copy each of Ojama Yellow, Green, and Black from my deck to my hand.
Reginald: I don't get it, why would you play three total wimps?
Chazz: This is why. I play the spell Ojama Ride! By sending the Ojama brothers from my hand to the graveyard, I can summon up to three level four or lower union monsters from my deck in defense mode. Who's the slacker now Reggie? Let me give you a hint, he's a prep school pipsqueak who's in way over his dorky haircut.
Reggie: Is it you?
Chazz: No, it's you! Oh, just watch. I play Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank.
Dragon
Level 4/Light/Machine
ATK 1500/DEF 1600
Tank
Level 4/Light/Machine
ATK 1500/DEF 1300
Chazz: And now my banishing my three monsters, I can summon XYZ-Dragon Cannon!
Level 8/Light/Machine
ATK 2800/DEF 2600
Reginald: This is bad.
Chazz: Perceptive. And it's gonna get worse once I use Dragon Cannon's special ability. I discard two cards from my hand to destroy both of your monsters.
Dragon Cannon fired twin beams at Reginald's monsters, destroying both at once.
Reginald: Not bad, but since my Jewel Sword was sent to the graveyard as well, I can draw a card.
Chazz: That won't help you against this. Attack with XYZ Hyper Cannon!
XYZ Dragon Cannon fired a volley of energy blasts that struck the ground at Reginald's feet.
Reginald: 1200 LP
Chazz: I end my turn. Still think you've got a shot?
Reginald: You're gonna be sorry you did that to me.
Chazz: You've got me shaking in my boots.
Bonaparte: This obnoxious rich kid isn't half bad.
Crowler: You sound surprised Bonaparte. You should really have more faith in me. There's a reason Sheppard left me as Chancellor in his place.
Bonaparte: Yeah, because everyone else turned the job down.
Reginald: My move. And I play a personal favorite of mine, Pot of Greed, so I draw 2 more cards.
Chazz: Stalling for time won't work kid.
Reginald: Does this look like stalling to you? I play Call of the Haunted to bring back my Warrior Lady in attack mode. Now I play the equip spell Great Sword, giving her an additional 300 attack points.
Warrior Lady: 1100-1400 ATK
Chazz: Congratulations, you have a monster that's half as strong as mine.
Reginald: Well then, I guess it's a good thing I'm about to get a much stronger monster. You see a monster equipped with Great Sword counts as two when you sacrifice it to summon a warrior monster, so I sacrifice Warrior Lady of the Wasteland to summon Gilford the Legend!
Chazz: You've gotta be kidding!
Reginald: Does this look like a joke?
Gilford
Level 8/Earth/Warrior
ATK 2600/DEF 2000
Jaden: What a sweet move.
Alexis: Yeah, this freshman really knows his stuff. And with that nasty attitude he's like a mini Chazz.
Syrus: Now that's a scary thought. But his monster is still weaker than Chazz's.
Reginald: I activate Gilford's special ability. When he's normal summoned, I can equip any number of equip spells in my graveyard to any warrior type monsters I have on the field.
Chazz: Say what?!
Reginald: I equip Gilford with Divine Sword Phoenix Blade, Jewel Sword, and Great Sword!
Gilford: 2600-3500 ATK
Reginald: And now by sending a card from my hand to the graveyard, I can equip Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou to Gilford, giving him 500 more attack points.
Gilford: 3500-4000 ATK
Syrus: 4000 attack points?!
Jaden: And look at Chazz. He's completely bugging out.
Syrus: Can't say I blame him.
Reginald: Attack XYZ-Dragon Cannon!
Gilford raised his sword and cut XYZ-Dragon Cannon right down the middle.
Chazz: 2800 LP
Reginald: You're defenseless.
Chazz: You'd like to think so, but the Chazz always has a plan. I draw! And I play my own Pot of Greed, so I draw 2 cards. And I'm gonna play one of them. The spell Ojamandala. By giving up 1000 life points, I can summon the three Ojama brothers from my graveyard.
Chazz: 1800 LP
Level 2/Light/Beast
ATK 0/DEF 1000
Ojama brothers: It's good to be back folks!
Chazz: These three misfits might not look like much, but they're about to take you down.
Reginald: How?
Chazz: Like this. I play the spell Ojama Delta Hurricane, which will destroy all the cards on your field.
Reginald: Say what?!
Chazz: Show him how boys.
OB: You got it boss!
They joined hands and spun around Gilford the Legend, destroying him instantly.
Reginald: I don't believe it, the strongest monster in my deck destroyed by dweebs. And in their underwear.
Chazz: They may seem like a bunch of wimps, but these three mutants can be pretty vicious if used right.
Reginald: Fine, but since my Jewel Sword was destroyed, I can draw one card from my deck.
Chazz: In that case, I'll place one card face-down and end my turn.
Reginald: Let me guess, that's another lame Ojama card, right?
Chazz: What makes you say that?
Reginald: Oh, I don't know, maybe because you seem to have built your entire deck around the three stooges. Well, I've had it. Those freaks have made a fool out of me for the last time.
Chazz: You're right kid. Why let them make a fool out of you when you do such a great job of making a fool out of yourself?
Reginald: Whatever. You're a second-rate duelist with a third-rate deck. I draw! And I play the equip spell Premature Burial, which will let me pay 800 life points to bring back a monster from my graveyard and equip it with this card, and I choose my Armed Samurai Ben Kei!
Reginald: 400 LP
Level 4/Dark/Warrior
ATK 500/DEF 800
Reginald: Next, I use the effect of Divine Sword Phoenix Blade in my graveyard. By banishing two warrior monsters from my graveyard, I can add this card to my hand. And now I'm gonna equip it and Lightning Blade onto my Samurai, giving him 1100 more attack points.
Ben Kei: 500-1600 ATK
Reginald: Now attack and destroy that yellow pipsqueak!
Ben Kei rushed at Ojama Yellow and cut him right in two.
Syrus: At least since his monster was in defense mode, he didn't take any damage.
Reginald: I'm not done yet Chazz. My monster gets an extra attack for every card he's equipped with.
Alexis: His monster has three cards equipped to it.
Jaden: Yeah, but Chazz only has two monsters out. Once they're gone, he'll be wide open to a direct attack.
Ben Kei destroyed the remaining Ojamas and then set his sights on Chazz.
Chazz: Decision time. If I play my face-down right now, I can summon back all three of the Ojamas and use one of them to protect me. Well, like the man says, no pain, no gain.
Ben Kei landed in front of Chazz and struck him with the flat of one of his blades.
Chazz: 200 LP
Reginald: How's that? You miss your little friends?
Chazz: Maybe, but lucky for me, they're coming back. I play the trap Ojama Delta Wear! This card will bring back all the Ojamas that were destroyed this turn.
Black: I can't believe he did that for us.
Green: He likes us, he really likes us.
Yellow: Oh, happy day!
Reginald: So, team pathetic is reunited, and guess who the biggest loser of them all is?
Chazz: I'm sure you're about to tell me.
Reginald: It's you, and you'll never be a blue again.
Chazz: You know, I used to be just like you, an elitist snob who looked down on everyone around me, but I've changed. Now I'm a snob who only looks down on some people. I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere, I'm just not sure where. I play Polymerization to fuse the three Ojama brothers to summon Ojama King.
Level 6/Light/Beast
ATK 0/DEF 3000
King: Thank you, thank you very much.
Reginald: It has no points.
Chazz: Thanks for the info, but that's about to change because I play the equip spell Shield Attack, which will switch Ojama King's attack and defense points.
King: 0-3000 ATK/3000-0 DEF
Reginald: Say what?
Chazz: Now Ojama King, attack Armed Samurai Ben Kei with Flying Belly Flop Drop!
King; You got it.
Ojama King leapt into the air before dropping onto Ben Kei, flattening him.
Reginald: 0 LP
Winner: Chazz
Chazz: Looks like slumming it with the Slifers hasn't hurt my game. Maybe now you'll see that the color of your coat doesn't mean squat, 'cause an Obelisk Blue, who's supposed to be the best of the best, just got schooled by a Slifer Red. Face it kid, whether we're wearing blue, yellow, red, or polka-dot, you'll always be the same loser, and I'll always be The Chazz.
Everyone: Chazz it up!
Chazz: The Chazz has spoken.
Jaden: Way to win one for the reds. I always knew you were one of us.
Chazz: Back off, I never said that.
The whole Slifer dorm came down and began to toss Chazz into the air.
Chazz: Put me down you dorks, I'm not one of you!
Crowler: Didn't see this coming. But if he wants to stay in the red dorm, who am I to stop him? Attention please, there's been a change of plan. Chazz Princeton shall remain in Slifer Red.
Chazz: But I-
Crowler: There's no need to thank me Chazz. I'm just doing my job.
Bonaparte: At this rate it won't be a job for much longer.
Jaden: Hey Chazz, now that you're our mascot, there's a ton we've gotta do. Fit you for a red jacket, teach you the secret handshake,
Chazz: Shut up!
Later on, Syrus was walking past the Chancellor's office when he overheard Bonaparte and Crowler talking inside.
Crowler: But this makes an even better story for the press.
Bonaparte: Forget the press. If you want this school to rise to greatness, there needs to be some changes made.
Crowler: Such as?
Bonaparte: I told you before, we need to bid the Slifers adieu.
Crowler: And I told you it's not happening.
Bonaparte: Why not? It's simple. We tear down the red dorm and the whole school looks better.
Syrus: Tear down the red dorm?
He ran off back to the dorm to tell Jaden what he heard.
Jaden: What?! Did you just say, "tear down the red dorm"?
Syrus: That's what Bonaparte said.
The ground then began to shake.
Jaden: It's happening!
They rushed outside and saw Chazz.
Jaden: Run Chazz!
Chazz: What are you talking about? These guys are here to build a private room onto this place. I figure if I'm going to be stuck in this place, I may as well be living in style.
Jaden: So much for your theory Sy.
Syrus: I guess I got a little carried away. Sorry for the scare.
Jaden: But I wonder if what Syrus overheard was true. Do they really want to tear down our dorm?
Drake: Chaaaaazz!
Syrus: Uh oh.
Chazz: Something wrong professor?
Drake: Would you kindly explain what this construction crew is doing here?
Chazz: I'm having them build me a private room.
Drake: One small problem: You never filled out the proper paperwork to alter your room.
Chazz: What paperwork?
Drake: In order to renovate your room, you have to submit a request form to the academy and wait for permission.
Chazz: Look, can't I just pay you and say I filled out the form?
Drake: No way. And after this, I'm going to be filing paperwork for this all week.
Chazz: So, hire someone to help.
Drake: Great idea Chazz. You're going to sit detention and help me with this paperwork until it's done.
Chazz: What?! You can't do that!
Drake: Actually, I can. So I suggest you come with me to get started.
Hey everyone. I hope you've all had a good week, and happy spooky month. Hope you'll all read next week's chapter and enjoy it. See you all later.
