Chapter Two: Beast Blitzkrieg
Kisho looked up at a big electric board, with the names and pictures of all the people admitted into Duel Academy, and he had made it into Duel Academy even though he barely passed the written exam.
I'm probably an Slifer Red. Kisho thought as he scanned the board. He found his name and his rank, which was the last entry on the board. Letting out a sigh he quickly remembered his identification number, and made his way to the front desk, the entry office for Duel Academy was huge, it kind of looked like a airport as Kisho stood in line with a bunch of other new students.
After about standing up for 20 minutes waiting for his turn, Kisho yawned and took off his backpack, and placed it on the ground.
"Yeah tell me about it," the guy in front of him said, he had a thick Hungarian accent and his short blonde hair done up in braids.
"Yeah, you'd think a lot of people would have gotten eliminated," Kisho said calmly as the guy turned around, he was a little taller than Kisho, about six feet tall, he had a black sweatband around his head, and dark brown eyes.
"I'm Gellert Raghnall," he held out his hand as Kisho shook it, he could tell Kisho was about to introduce himself. "No need to tell me who you are, Kisho Takai."
"I must be popular," Kisho smiled a little. "Guess that what happens when you beat a teacher."
"Yeah, well what I've heard Professor Tavarius isn't the best teacher to get in your cross-hairs," Gellert took a step back, "Don't want to stand to close he might snipe you."
Kisho let out a laugh, "Knowing him he would first have to shoot himself to special summon his gun from the graveyard."
It was Gellert turns to laugh, "Speaking of that, I've got to say you've got some pretty good moves for someone ranked the lowest in the first years."
"Thanks, but between me and you, I only passed the written exam by one point," Kisho whispered.
"Your secret is safe with me," Gellert looked back as he was being called over by one of the attendants. "Well I'm up, I'll see you at the orientation, that is if were in the same dorm."
"Yeah, it was nice meeting you," Kisho said watching Gellert as he walked over to the desk. He was too far away to hear the conversation between Gellert and the attendant, but that didn't bother him, he was still thinking about the Duel against Professor Tavarius. Wonder what grudge he has against me? Kisho didn't have a chance to even formulate an answer as the next attendant became available.
"Next please," she said in a chipper voice, as Kisho approached the desk she held out her hand, Kisho reached over the counter and shook it.
"Wow, everyone here is pretty friendly," Kisho said shaking it.
"Welcome to Duel Academy," she spoke out like she had said it a million times. "Name or identification number please?"
"Kisho, Kisho Takai."
The attendant looked through the list before finding his name, "You are in Slifer Red."
"Figures," Kisho rolled his eyes.
"Here is your PDA," she said handing him a small hand held device, "It holds all your information as well as it hold other functions. The instruction manual is located in your dormitory."
"Thanks," Kisho said looking at the PDA as the lady reached turned around looking through the rack in the back, she pulled out an Slifer Red jacket wrapped in plastic.
"This is your uniform it is to be worn around campus as well as to class," she handed it to Kisho.
"Not what I pictured I'd be in," Kisho said with a sour look in his face. "I guess it will have to do."
"Also once you turn on your PDA it will bring up a map showing the location of your dormitory as well as your room number," the attendant said calmly.
"Thanks," Kisho turned around and heading towards the exit of the office and his first steps onto the Duel Academy Island.

It took Kisho no time to find his dorm room, but what he found was nothing like the orientation video he and his parents received in the mail.
"Looks like a really big outhouse," Kisho said with a sigh, as he closed his PDA and put it in his jacket pocket.
He walked up to the big outhouse and up the stairs, after walking past a few of the new students he found his dorm room, the door was already opened a crack. "Guess we share rooms huh?" Kisho said to himself as he pushed the door open.
"What luck!" Gellert said with a smile on his face.
"Yeah!" Kisho said surprised to the guy he was talking to. "Guess this means were roommates huh?"
"Yeah," Gellert spoke as he turned his back to Kisho, he was busy unpacking his cloths and stuff.
"Wow talk about a lot of cloths," Kisho said looking at the pile of cloths in front of him.
"Yeah, I like to pack light," Gellert said as he finished stuffing all his cloths into every available draw.
"I let one for you," Gellert said pulling out a draw located under the bed, "Also I've got the top bunk."
"Thanks," Kisho said less the pleasantly.
"Well I'm heading to the Restroom to put on my Slifer Red Jacket I'll be back in a few," Gellert grabbed his jacket and walked pass Kisho.
"Kay," Kisho said as Gellert closed the door behind him.
"Kisho, you've got yourself one selfish roommate," he began to unpack his things, once all his cloths were away he quickly took off his jacket and put on his Slifer Red Jacket, there wasn't a mirror in the room. "Well Stacy was always telling me I needed some color."
Kisho plopped down on his bed as he stared up at the top bunk, today had been a very intense day. First he barely passed his written exam. "One point." Kisho said shaking his head, he let out a little chuckle. Then his entrance Duel was against Professor Tavarius, he had barely won the match.
All of a sudden Kisho's PDA started ringing, "Huh?" A startled Kisho jumped out of bed and picked up the PDA off the counter and opened it.
This is a message to all first year Slifer Red students, orientation is at 8:00 at the Slifer Red Cafeteria, all first years are required to attend.
Professor Trista Helm
"A orientation?" Kisho looked at the clock on his PDA it was 7:30 now, "Well I guess I've got some time," Kisho pocketed his PDA and opened the door to his room. "Might as well head there now." Kisho closed the door behind him.
DAL
The Slifer Red cafeteria was nothing to be amazed about. It had wooden seats and wooden tables set up in a room that looked no bigger than a fourth of the dormitory. Kisho made his way through the door as it was packed with the new students as well as two teachers. Which one Kisho recognized as Professor Tavarius, as for the other Kisho figured it was Professor Helm.
Kisho was busy looking for a sit when he pumped into his roommate. "Figured I'd find you here," Gellert said pointing at two empty seats, on one chair had a place card with Kishos name on it.
"Yeah, seeing as were both first years," Kisho said dryly. Something about Gellert was kind of annoying Kisho but he figured that how Gellert was and he'd have to deal with it.
Kisho scanned the room, for the most part the Slifer Red First Years appeared to be all boys, he did spot a few girls here and there.
"Welcome," Professor Tavarius announced as the students quiet down, "I would like to welcome all you to Duel Academy. What ever the reason may be you ended up in Slifer Red, which is the lowest rank at Duel Academy," He cleared his throat. "But don't be discouraged, you all have potential to move up in rank. As I have, last year was my last year as the head of the Slifer Red dormitory, I've been promoted to head the Ra Yellow dormitory since the position has been vacated. I've been asked to speak here on Professor Trista Helms, who will be taking over as head of this dorm. It is her first year in a position like this so give her the respect she deserves. Professor Helms," he took a couple of steps back as Professor Helms stepped forward.
The first thing Kisho noticed about Professor Helms is how beautiful she was, her long flowing red hair was about her shoulder length long, and her red eyes shown with youth and determination. Kisho chuckled a little as he noticed how fitting it was she was head of Slifer Red as her features matched her jacket.
"She's cute isn't she," Gellert whispered to Kisho.
Kisho was about to answer when he noticed Professor Tavarius eying him, he quickly closed his mouth and paid attention to Professor Helm.
"Thank you Professor Tavarius," Professor Helm said calmly, "I would like to welcome you all," she said a little nervous, Kisho took note of this. "I would just like to say that it is an honor to be a member of the Slifer Red team, and I hope you all are excited about showing the higher ranks what Slifer Red can do." She scanned the crowd before continuing "I would like at this time to introduce two second year students who started out in Slifer Red but have since moved up to Ra Yellow," she snapped her fingers as two students walked in from the back.
The first student was about Kisho hight and build, he had short spiked up blue hair with one spike in the front being white. "Hi, I'm Nero," he said calmly.
The second student was taller than Kisho in fact, Kisho noted she was taller than Gellert. She platinum blonde hair that was shoulder length long and full of a lot of volume. "I'm Kita," she said a little nervous.
"Both these students study hard to get where they are," Professor Helm pointed to each of them, "They are living proof that with hard work and determination any student can climb up the ranks."
Everyone in the room applauded. Hope it doesn't take me a year to get to at least Ra Yellow. Kisho thought as Professor Helm signaled for everyone to calm down.
"Now you all must be wondering how we Duel at the Academy," Professor Helm said as she reached behind her. She pulled out an Academy Duel Disk. "We have specially made Duel Disk specifically for Duel Academy, if each of you look under your seat you should find one."
Kisho reached under his desk and pulled out a box, he opened it and looked at his Duel Disk, "These are pretty cool!" He picked it up as a note fell out. Curiously Kisho picked it up and opened it.
Meet me in back of the dorms, bring your Duel Disk.
Kisho stared at the note weirdly as Gellert read it over his shoulder, "Looks like someone wants to Duel you."
"Yeah but who?" Kisho thought as he stared at the note.
DAL
Kisho stood behind the dormitory waiting for his unknown opponent, Gellert was standing next to him.
"So what you make of this?" Gellert asked.
"Don't know," Kisho shrugged his shoulders. "I haven't been her long enough to make a rival." Kisho adjusted his Duel Disk on his arm.
"Well whoever it is sure is taking long," Gellert said impatiently.
"Slifer Reds shouldn't complain," a voice said from behind Kisho and Gellert, they quickly turned around to see Nero standing there with a Duel Disk on his arm.
"So you sent me the invitation?" Kisho said surprised, Nero nodded his head, "But why?"
"Simple you beat Professor Tavarius," Nero said calmly.
"Okay, what does that have to do with Duel me," Kisho said.
"I just want to know how the lowest rank Slifer beat Professor Tavarius?" Nero said with his arms folded. "Professor Tavarius is a great Duelist he wouldn't have lost to the likes of you."
"What do you mean? You don't know me or my Dueling style," Kisho said defending himself, "All your looking at is a written exam grade and my rank."
"That's all I need to look at," Nero said calmly, "You and I are going to have a Duel, I'll beat you and prove to everyone that your victory was a fluke."
"It was no fluke, I saw it with my own eyes," Gellert said.
"Please, I have a feeling Professor Tavarius felt sorry for you and let you win," Nero said.
"That's it!" Kisho made a fist. "I came her to the academy to get better not be criticized, and have my victory made to look like someone took pity on me."
"You've got some spunk I'll give you that," Nero activated his Duel Disk.
"Let's just Duel," Kisho said annoyed. He looked around his Duel Disk looking for a way to turn it on, he noticed a hidden button under the Duel Disk, he pressed it as his Duel went from standby mode to battle mode.
Both players Life Points jumped to 8000, as they both drew five cards from their decks, "I'll let the Slifer start first," Nero said calmly.
"You think you're all that!" Kisho said drawing his sixth card, he looked down at his hand. Not the best opening hand but it will do for now. Kisho thought as he selected a card from his hand, "Now I'll summon Sonic Bird (1400/1000) in attack mode!" Kisho slapped the card down on his Duel Disk. A bird with a jet pack appeared on the field. "When this card is summoned I can add one Ritual Spell from my deck to my hand," Kisho quickly grabbed his deck out of his holder after a quick shuffle through he came across the Ritual Spell he wanted. He then reshuffled is deck and took a card from his hand, "I'll end with a hidden card," Kisho said as a card appeared on the field behind his monster.
"It's no matter," Nero took a card from his hand, "I'll summon Berserk Gorilla (2000/1000) in attack mode," in less than half a second a big gorilla appeared on the field, it let out a mighty roar. "Now attack my monster!" Berserk Gorilla jumped forward smashing Kisho's Sonic Bird destroying it and reducing his Life Points to 7400.
"That's one tough monster," Kisho said looking at it.
"Don't think complementing me will make me go easy on you," Nero said placing a hidden card on the field.
"I was complementing your monster," Kisho said drawing a card, "Now I'll activate my Spell I got from Sonic Bird!" Kisho placed the card on the Duel Disk, the picture of two hands holding up a mirror appeared on the field. "Its my Beastly Mirror Ritual, it states that all I've got to give up is monsters either from my field or hand equaling a total of six stars and I can summon Fiend's Mirror (2100/1800) from my hand."
"Yes I know how Ritual Monsters work," Nero said smugly.
"Don't have to be so smug you know," Kisho said as he turned around his Black Luster Soldier from his hand, he discarded it as the mirror started to glow brightly, as Kisho's monster appeared on the field.
"So you plan to take me on with a mirror?" Nero let out a small chuckle.
"You're going to wish you never said that," Kisho took another card from his hand, "Now I'll power up my Fiend's Mirror with Ritual Weapon!" Kisho said placing the card in his Duel Disk, his monster began to glow as its attack jumped up by 1500 to 3600.
"That's good," Gellert said, "Now you've got a monster with 3600 attack points on the field.
"Now Fiend's Mirror attack with Reflection Blast!" Kisho yelled as his monster let out a blast.
"You think I'd be so stupid as to leave my monster unprotected?" Nero said as his hidden card flipped up.
"Mirror Force!" Gellert said surprised at Nero's monster.
"Yes and it reflects your attack back at your monster!" Nero yelled as the blast turned around and headed towards Kisho.
"That's what you think!" Kisho said revealing his hidden card, it had a picture of a bear trap in a magical seal. "Trap Jammer will "jam" up your Mirror Force, and allow my attack to go back!"
As Kisho said this the blast aimed at his Fiend's Mirror hit the monster, it reflected the attack back at Nero's Berserk Gorilla, the blast hit the monster square in the chest causing it to yell out in pain as it was destroyed.
"My Life Points!" Nero barked as his Life Point's dropped down to 6400.
"Now do you think my victory was a fluke?" Kisho pointed at him.
"Yes," Nero smugly said.
"I don't think that's fair to say," Kisho said calming down a bit. "From what I see so far you can Duel, and to call someone you've never-"
"Shut it!" Nero interrupted, "Like I've stated, your victory against Professor Tavarius was a fluke."
Why is he so serious on sticking to this. I don't see why it's his business who I Duel and beat, unless...
"My turn!" Nero said drawing a card, "Now I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon!" Nero slid the card on the field as a huge vortex appeared sucking Kisho's Ritual Weapon into it.
"Now my monster loses its power boost," Kisho watched as his Fiend's Mirror's attack returned to 2100.
"Next I'll play Tribute to the Doom, by discarding one card from my hand I can destroy one monster on the field," he quickly discarded a card from his hand as he played Tribute to the Doom, the card appeared on the field. It had a picture of a mummy as a bunch of mummy wraps exploded out of the card grabbing Kisho's monster and dragging it to the graveyard.
"Damn," Kisho looked at his now empty field.
"Now I'll play Premature Burial to bring back my Berserk Gorilla from the grave in exchange for 800 of my Life Points," Nero Life Points dropped to 5600. "Now let me show you why he's called Berserk Gorilla!" Nero yelled as his monster went on the rampage it smacked Kisho a bunch of times before jumping back to its master's field.
Kisho looked down at his Duel Disk as his Life Points became 5400. "Looks my lead was short lived."
"I'll hide two cards," Nero placed two cards hidden on the field, they appeared behind his monster.
"This is a pretty good Duel," Gellert said to himself looking at the field.
As the Duel stood Kisho had no cards on the field and 2 in his hand, his Life Points were 5400. Nero on the other hand had his Berserk Gorilla on the field equipped with his Premature Burial, and two hidden cards, his Life Points were 5600.
It was Kisho's turn he drew a card from his deck, "I don't remember the Duels back home being so serious. It would be nice to Duel someone who doesn't have it in for me." He scanned his hand and then the card he held. "I'll play Pot of Greed!" Kisho placed the card in the Duel Disk a huge pot appeared on the field. "As the card suggest I get to be a little greedy and draw 2 cards!" Kisho quickly grabbed two cards out of his deck, the pot exploded.
"No matter of drawing will help you," Nero said calmly.
"That's what you think!" Kisho placed a card down on his reader. "I'll summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands, and I'll use one of those hands."
"Use one of the hands?" Gellert questioned.
"That's right, cause thanks to one of his hands I can add either one Ritual Spell or Monster from my deck and add it to my hand," As Kisho said this Manju reached into his deck handing him a card. "Next I'll activate another Spell," Kisho placed the card in the reader. "Monster Reincarnation allows me to get one monster back from my grave in exchange for one card from my hand."
"Hurry up," Nero said getting annoyed.
"Fine," Kisho said discarding a card from his hand, a card popped out of his grave, he picked up Black Luster Soldier.
"Guess you can see what happening next!" Kisho said another Spell in the Duel Disk. "I'll play Black Luster Ritual, and I've got the perfect monster to send to the grave," Kisho turned around his Reshef the Dark Being for Nero to see. He then slipped the card into his graveyard and slammed his Black Luster Soldier (3000/2500) on the field. The monster appeared on the field in a flash of light, it flashed it sword before taking a stance.
"That's one powerful monster," Gellert said with a smile, "Looks like a Slifer Red about to beat a Ra Yellow!"
Nero didn't respond, "Quiet huh?" Kisho looked at his monster, "Now Black Luster Soldier destroy his monster with your blade!" Kisho's monster ran towards Berserk Gorilla ready to slice it in half.
"Just as I thought," Nero said to himself, "A fluke!" He revealed his hidden card. It had a bunch of beast monsters marching. "The Big March of Animals will increase my monsters attack by 200 points for each beast monster on the field."
"Still not enough!" Kisho yelled as his monster pressed on.
"Not true! I reveal my other hidden card! Scapegoat (4 x 0/0)!" Nero yelled as 4 goat tokens appeared on the field. "Now both of our monsters will be destroyed!" Nero yelled as his Berserk Gorilla's attack jumped to 3000. Black Luster Soldier jumped back and threw its sword, at the same time Berserk Gorilla let out a flame from its mouth, both attacks connected destroying both monsters.
"You'd sacrifice your own monster?" Kisho said surprised. That was a brilliant move, he not only took out one of my best monsters but left me with no monsters to defend myself with, while he still have four of those Scapegoats on the field.
"With no cards in your hand," Nero said as he drew a card, "This Duel is mine."
As that was happening, Gellert heard someone coming, he peeped around the corner of the dormitory to see a bunch of the security guards walking around. "Uh oh," he whispered to himself, he quickly scurried over back to Kisho and Nero, "You two might want to postpone this, it seems security is coming."
"So this schools about Dueling, and that's what were doing," Kisho rubbed his head confused at Gellert's concern.
"Simply put," Gellert replied, "There is to be no Dueling on orientation night."
"What!" Kisho did a double step, he turned back to Nero who had deactivated his Duel Disk.
"Hey where are you going!" Kisho asked confused.
"You got off lucky Kisho," Nero said turning his back to him.
"Lucky?"
"We will finish this another time," and with that Nero disappeared into the dark.
A light scanned around the corner, "Uh, Kisho we should make tracks!"
"I think I heard someone behind here!" One of the guards yelled, the group ran around the corner to see no one.
DAL
Kisho and Gellert ran into their room and slammed the door behind them.
"That was a close one," Gellert said between breaths.
"Yeah," Kisho sighed.
"Let's never do anything like that again," Gellert said calmly, "I need Duel Academy."
"Need?" Kisho asked inquisitively.
"Anyway, looks like you got off lucky," Gellert said, "You were wide open and with no cards in your hand..."
"Yeah, but I wonder why Nero was so set on beating me anyway," Kisho said taking his Duel Disk off, he removed his deck and placed it back in his deck box.
"Are you deaf?" Gellert asked, "He said because you beat Professor Tavarius."
"Yeah I know that much," Kisho said annoyed.
"Well Professor Tavarius was the head of this dorm when he was in Slifer Red," Gellert replied. "Maybe they're friends."
"Guess so," Kisho let out a yawn, "Well I'm going to hit the hay, got a big day ahead of us."
"Yeah," Gellert said looking at Kisho as he opened the draw and grabbed some of the Pajamas he had. Kisho then entered the closet and changed, he emerged a few seconds later.
"Night man."
"Yeah, I'm going to the restroom before I hit the hay," Gellert said leaving the room. Once outside Gellert pulled out a Cell Phone and pressed a few buttons, after a few seconds a voice come on the other line. "Yeah I'm here, I made it to Duel Academy."
The voice replied on the other end.
"I've only seen one Duel."
The voice on the other end said something.
"Only one of them has potential."
The voice replied.
"His name is..."
