Chapter Three: Tutor Time

Kisho toss and turned in his bed. He wasn't able to fall back asleep for anything, he looked over at the clock, it stated 6:30. He let out a sigh, in a few hours he would be registering for his classes. He let out another sigh, it wasn't as if he was the type not be able to sleep, it was Gellert.

"Gellert," Kisho said pushing the covers off of him. "Why did I get stuck-," at that moment Gellert let out a snore so loud that is drowned out Kisho's thought.

"No mom, Kuriboh isn't a new type of sponge," Gellert mumbled in his sleep.

Kisho shook his head and got dressed, and headed over to the cliff overlooking the coast. "A roommate who snores," Kisho whispered to himself as he watched the sun rise, he sat down in the grass and pulled out his deck.

It was a beautiful view as the morning light appeared over the horizon, "Great view huh?" A feminine voice said from behind Kisho.

Kisho turned around to see a girl just a couple of inches shorter than Kisho standing with her arms folded.

"I'm Arnia Kosovic," her Russian Accent was faint but Kisho noted it, he then noticed her jacket it was that of a Ra Yellow only difference was instead of the whole jacket being yellow only the collar was the rest of the jacket was whited out yellow, her skirt was also the same color.

Kisho blushed a little. He always got a little nervous around cute girls.

"Don't be intimated by my Ra Yellow rank," she said concerned.

"Oh it wasn't that," Kisho stumbled around his words.

"Well?" Arnia said running her hands through her shoulder length golden brown hair.

"Huh?" Kisho questioned looking into her blue eyes, he noticed a hint of yellow around her eris.

"I asked you about the view?"

"Oh that, its nice, yeah nice," Kisho mentally slapped himself across the face. You sound like a bumbling idiot!

"You're a first year right?"

"Yeah, I'm Kisho Takai."

"I was going to say, cause I've never known anyone to come out here in the morning," she said sitting next to him.

"Well, I've got a roommate who snores," Kisho said sighing.

"Roommate? They've got you Slifer Reds all bunking together?" She tilted her head to the right slightly.

"You've never been a Slifer?"

"Nope I'm a second year Ra Yellow, I passed the written and duel exam with great scores so I was automatically put into Ra Yellow," She smiled as if reminiscing about her entrance duel.

"Not to be nosy, but...wanna have a Duel?" Kisho said with a smirk on his face.

"Why?" Arnia asked.

"I just want to see how good a second year student is, and not to mention a Ra Yellow!" Kisho held up his Duel Disk, "And I couldn't hurt my overall ranking."

"Overall ranking?"

"Yeah, I'm the lowest rank Duelist of all new years, heck probably in the whole school for that matter," Kisho kind of blushed a little and rubbed the back of his head.

Arnia eyes widen a little, "Actually I think I'll pass."

"Huh? But why?" A disappointed Kisho asked.

"Well I've got some errands to run in a few," Arnia said standing up.

"Oh," Kisho stood up and bushed himself off.

"I'll see you then," Arnia smiled at Kisho she turned and walked away.

"Just promise me next time we meet we Duel!" Kisho yelled at Arnia after she was a few feet away.

"Its a promise," Arnia turned and continued to walk.

"...and that is why I've called all of you in today," the school Chancellor said turning around, he was a small stocky man, he sported a receding hair line.

"That preposterous!" Professor Tavarius spoke out in utter shock at what the Chancellor, he turned to face the other teachers in the office. "What are we to do?"

"Well it seems," the Chancellor cleared his throat, "That the owner told us to be prepared."

"Then we should inform the students," Professor Helm stated.

"No it would cause a panic, all we can do is wait, for him to select," the Chancellor said calmly, "Make sure all your students are prepared., and not a word is to be leaked. You're dismissed."

All the teachers left the Chancellor's Office most of them split into groups heading off talking in secret about what. Professor Helm heading towards the exit of the office when Professor Tavarius called out her name.

She turned around to face him, "I'm not sure what to do. This is really difficult for my first year."

"Don't worry," Professor Tavarius said as he turned his back to her, "I know all my Ra Yellows are prepared, its just that," he lowered his head.

"You're worried they might target a Slifer," Professor Helm finished his sentence.

"Right, but one in particular," Professor Tavarius said with a small smirk on his face.

Kisho let out a yawn as he stood in line, "Damn Gellert," he whispered under his breath, as a first year he didn't get much choice in classes, other than his required academic classes. He was automatically enrolled in Dueling Strategy and Philosophy 101, Mechanics of Duel Disk 101. The last class, was an elective of his choice.

"Duel Monsters Mythology," Kisho said to himself, he read a short verbatim about the class and was excited, it sounded like a very interesting class.

"Next," a Class Register stated as Kisho walked over to her desk.

"Kisho Takai," Kisho said with a smile, he quickly rambled off the class code and stood there while the Register typed into the computer, after a few beeps she looked up at Kisho.

"I'm sorry but your not eligible for this class."

"What!" Kisho said disappointedly.

"It states that because of your Rank, your elective will be a Student Tutor," she pressed a button on her computer and printed up Kisho schedule, she handed it to him. "If you want some more information on your student tutor speak with the headmaster of your dorm."

"Thanks," Kisho sculled off towards the exit before he heard someone yell out his name. He turned around to see Gellert run up to him.

"Got you classes picked bud," Gellert said all full of energy.

"Yeah," Kisho handed him his schedule.

Gellert read it over before stopping on the last one, "Student Tutor?"

"Yeah, because of my rank, I've got to have a tutor, so no Duel Monsters Mythology class."

"Sucks for you man," Gellert said handing him back his paper, "Want to catch some lunch, I meet a few of the female Slifer Reds and they invited me to lunch."

"I'll pass I'm going to find out what this is all about from Professor Helm," Kisho sighed.

"Good luck, see you back at the dorm," Gellert headed off.

"And that is why we've called you in," Professor Helm stated to Arnia, "You think you're up for the job."

"Yeah, I've just-" Before Arnia could finish they're was a knock on the door to Professor Helm's office.

"Enter!"

The door opened as Kisho walked in, "Professor Helm, oh your busy I'll come back."

"Actually, you were just the student was about to contact Kisho," Professor Helm signaled for Kisho to walk in and close the door behind him.

Kisho walked up and stood next to Arnia, "Hey," he said with a smile on his face.

She looked over Kisho before noticing the schedule slip in his hand, "I see you've already found out."

"Yeah," Kisho said a little disappointed, "I don't understand."

"Well your test results from your written exam placed you at the bottom of the school overall rank," Professor Helm stated, "Professor Tavarius, who I look up to, suggested that since one of his top rank Ra Yellows had a free period that she tutor you in the areas you need help in."

"So I lose my only elective choice?" Kisho stated disappointed.

"Unfortunately yes, but look at this as an opportunity to grow," Professor Helm stated. "That is what Duel Academy is all about to bring the best Dueling talent out of each and every Duelist."

"I guess," Kisho said. I wouldn't be in this situation if not for a certain bias teacher.

"Before you came in I was about to ask Arnia if she'd accept the task," she turned back to Arnia.

"Yes I will, but only under one condition," Arnia turned back to Kisho a small smile on her face. "I Duel him to see where he stands."

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Kisho said excited.

A few minutes later Kisho and Arnia were standing on opposite ends of the field Duel Disk in the battle position.

"This Duel will not effect your ranking at all," Professor Helm stated as she stood off on the sidelines.

"Fine by me," Kisho shuffled his deck before placing it in his Duel Disk, he drew his opening hand as his Life Points jumped up to 8000.

"Kisho, no matter the outcome of the Duel, you still got room to improve," Arnia stated as she drew her opening hand, her Life Points jumped up to 8000 as well.

"I'll let you start," Kisho stated calmly.

Arnia quickly drew a card from her deck, she added it to her hand, "I'll summon a hidden monster, and place one hidden card on the field," two cards appeared on the field one horizontal and one vertical.

"My go!" Kisho stated as he drew a card, "I'll activate the Spell Card Reincarnation!" Kisho placed the card in his Duel Disk, it appeared on the field, it had a picture of a sacrificial box. "As long as this continuous Spell remains active any monster I use for Ritual Summoning will be shuffled back into my deck."

"Ritual monsters?" Arnia whispered to herself.

"Now I'll activate the Spell White Dragon Ritual, and offer my Reshef in order to summon, my Paladin of White Dragon (1900/1200)!" Kisho monster appeared on the field, it had a white knight riding a blue dragon. "And thanks to my Reincarnation Spell Reshef gets shuffled back into my deck!" Kisho quickly add the card back to his Deck an shuffled it. "Now Paladin of White Dragon destroy her monster!" Kisho Dragon attacked destroying Arnia's monster.

"That was a good play," Arnia said calmly as Kisho's monster joined him back on his side of the field. "This hidden monster you destroyed was Needle Worm and its nasty little side effect would have destroyed 5 cards from the top of your deck."

"But thanks to Paladin of White Dragon's special ability it destroyed the monster without activating its effect," Professor Helm looked at Kisho concerned.

"I think I'll chain my hidden card to your end phase," Arnia said revealing it, it was a Trap Card with a picture of a girl as rain fell down on her. "Solemn Wishes will reinforce my Life Points by 500 every time I draw," Arnia drew a card as it started to rain on her side of the field, her Life Points jumped to 8500. "Like now."

"Life Point gaining?" Kisho questioned.

"Now I'll summon White Magician Pikeru (1200/0)!" Arnia placed the card down on the field. Her monster appeared on the field and blew Kisho a kiss.

"I have that monster," Kisho said with a small smile on his face.

"Then you know that for each turn this monster is out on the field I gain 400 Life Points for each monster I have out," Arnia said calmly.

"Yeah," Kisho said unconcerned.

"You seem unconcerned," Arnia said shaking her head, "Then I'll show you her true power!" She placed a card down on the field, "I'll play the Spell Ordeal of Princess! This will increase my monsters attack by 800 points." Kisho watched in horror as White Magician Pikeru's attack became 2000. "Now attack!" Arnia yelled, "Teach that Paladin to bow before royalty!" Pikeru let out a blast that destroyed Kisho Paladin, and reducing his Life Points to 7900.

"Good move, I didn't even know a card like that existed for Pikeru, I've got to get my hands on one," Kisho said with a smile on his face.

"I'm glad you like it," Arnia said playing a hidden card on the field.

"I got to say I do!" Kisho drew a card. "But that doesn't mean I can't attack your Pikeru!" Kisho held up his Beastly Mirror Ritual and his Black Luster Soldier card. "Now by giving up my Black Luster Soldier I can summon my Fiend's Mirror (2100/1800) to the field!" Kisho shuffled his Black Luster Soldier back into his deck thanks to Reincarnation.

Arnia watched as the mirror monster appeared on the field. Come on attack me.

"Fiend's Mirror attack!" Kisho yelled as his monster's mirror started to glow.

"Not so fast!" Arnia yelled as her face down card flipped up, it was a Spell with a picture of a boar on it. "Rush Recklessly will increase my monsters attack by 700 points!"

"What!" Kisho did a double take as Pikeru's attack increased to 2700. Both monster fired there respective attacks at first it looked like Fiend's Mirror attack was going to overpower when Rush Recklessly began to glow, it infused White Magician's Pikeru's blast causing it to shatter Kisho's Mirror, and reduce his Life Points to 7300.

"That may give me 7 years bad luck but it was worth it," Arnia stated pointed to Kisho's hand, which had no cards. "You got a little overzealous."

"Yeah," Kisho held his head down, "I end my turn.

By this time a bunch of the Slifer Red students had noticed the Duel and were watching.

"Looks like you two attracted a crowd," Professor Helm stated.

"Do you think he stands a chance against a Ra Yellow?" One of the bystanders stated.

"Against a Ra Yellow I don't think so," one responded.

"Boy I've got some great support," Kisho mumbled under his breath.

"Back to the game!" Arnia drew a card from her deck, "Now to activate the White Magician's Pikeru effect, for each monster on my side of the field I gain 400 Life Points, and seeing as I drew a card from my deck I gain an additional 500 Life Points thanks to
Solemn Wishes." Arnia's Life Points jumped up to 9400. "Now I'll activate the power of my Ordeal of Princess when White Magician's Pikeru destroys a monster with a summoning level of 5 or higher I can sacrifice my White Magician's Pikeru to summon her royal form!" Arnia took the card from her hand and placed it on the field. All of a sudden White Magician's Pikeru started to glow its cloths changed to that of a princess as the monster stood up. "Princess Pikeru 2000/0."

"White Magician's Pikeru is a princess?" Kisho asked.

"Yes and this Princess has a special ability for each monster on my side of the field, I'll can 800 Life Points during my Standby Phase."

"I'm pretty impressed, all this Life Point gaining, but how are you going to win if all you do is increase your Life Points?" Kisho questioned.

"You'll see," Arnia took a card from her hand, "I'll summon my Fire Princess (1300/1500) in attack mode!" A ball of fire appeared on the field as Arnia's new monster took a stance. "Now attack both my monsters!" Both monster clubbed Kisho in the stomach with their royal canes.

"That smart!" Kisho said holding his stomach as his Life Points reduced to 4000.

"Wow did you see that!" A student whispered.

"I'll end with a hidden card," Arnia said placing her last card down on the field.

"Got to say, I do have a lot to learn, and this Duel is helping a lot!" Kisho slowly stood back up. "Now I'll teach you a lesson!" Kisho drew a card from his deck.

Kisho's determination is amazing even with half his Life Points gone he doesn't seem to worried. Professor Helm noted.

"I'll play Pot of Greed!" Kisho immediately drew 2 new cards from his deck. "Now I see why you're a Ra Yellow, and a second year at that. You've got one amazing deck!"

"Thanks," Arnia nodded her hand, "Now I'll play my hidden card! Light Of Intervention will prevent you from hiding your monsters!" A bright light glowed from the card.

"No matter," Kisho said placing the card he drawn on the field, "I'll play my Scapegoat Spell!" As Kisho said this four sheep appeared on the field in defense mode. "That should buy me some time."

Arnia drew a card from her deck, "Thanks to Solemn Wishes I gain 500 Life Points for drawing a card." Arnia's Life Points went up to 9900. "Now my Fire Princess effect kicks in, every time I gain Life Points it drains 500 from you!" Arnia's monster made a fire ball in its hand and fired it at Kisho causing him to lose 500 Life Points bring him to 3500. "And I'm not finish, seeing as its my Standby Phase I gain a total of 1600 Life Points for my two monster being on the field thanks to Princess Pikeru. Oh and don't forget you lose another 500!" Arnia's Life Points jumped to 11500, while Fire Princess blasted Kisho again dropping his Life Points to 3000.

"Damn she's good," Kisho said with a grunt.

"Now I'll destroy two of your sheep with my two princesses!" Arnia yelled as her monsters both attacked two of the sheep destroying them in a flash of light. "Its your turn," she said calmly flipping her hair back.

"Thanks," Kisho said drawing a card. "Now I'll play Mirage of Nightmare!" Kisho sliding the card into his Duel Disk. A spell card appeared on the field, it had a picture of a man surrounded by mummies. "Mirage of Nightmare lets me draw until I have 4 cards in my hand, when you turn starts, but at the start of my turn I have to discard the same number of cards I drew through Mirage of Nightmare," Kisho said explaining the card. "And I'll end with this hidden card," Kisho said playing a card next to his Mirage of Nightmare.

"My draw!" Arnia said drawing a card.

"And my draw!" Kisho said as his Mirage of Nightmare began to glow, he drew 4 cards from his deck and eyed them.

"Don't forget about my two effects!" Arnia said as first her Life Points increased by 500 to 12000 thanks to Solemn Wishes. Then it increased by 1600 due to Princess Pikeru, leaving her with a grand total of 13600.

"Geez!" Kisho said taken aback by Arnia's Life Points.

"Now Fire Princess reduce his Life Points by 1000!" Arnia yelled.

"Not so fast!" Kisho said activating his hidden card, "Emergency Provisions will increase my Life Points by 1000 for each Spell or Trap I send from my side of the field to the grave," Kisho Mirage of Nightmare disappeared, as a shield appeared on the field protecting Kisho from Fire Princess attack and keeping his Life Points at 3000.

By using Emergency Provisions not only did he keep his Life Points at 3000 by canceling out Fire Princess's Special Ability but he also got ride of Mirage of Nightmare canceling out its negative effect before his turn. Professor Helm noted.

"No matter," Arnia stated, "It was a good move but your still at the mercy of my two princess!" Arnia's monster destroyed Kisho's last two sheep leaving him defenseless.

"And I'll set one cards on the field," Arnia stated as a card appeared on the field behind her monsters.

"I got to say Arnia I'm really enjoying this Duel!" Kisho drew a card from his deck. "Now I'll activate my Black Luster Ritual!" Kisho placed the card on his Duel Disk, a huge altar appeared on the field. "Now all I've got to do is give up a monster with a summoning level of 8 to summon my Black Luster Soldier (3000/2500) from my hand, and once again my Reshef is going to do nicely!" Kisho quickly shuffled the monster back into his deck as his Black Luster Soldier appeared on the field, it quickly took a battle stance. "Now take down her Fire Princess!" Kisho yelled as his monster charged forward ready to slice Arnia's monster in half.

"Reveal hidden card," Arnia calmly stated as the card revealed itself. "Astral Barrier will protect my monster by making me the target of the attack!"

"What!" Kisho said surprised as Fire Princess jumped out of the way of Black Luster Soldier attack causing it to hit Arnia and reducing her Life Points to 10600.

By taking the hit herself she kept her combo intact. Professor Tavarius was right Arnia is an exceptional Duelist. Professor Helm noted.

"I've got to say I was surprised by that move," Kisho stated, "But it did help me!" Kisho took a card from his hand and placed it on the field. It was a Spell, "Sebek's Blessing could only be activated when I make a direct attack, it increasing my Life Points by the attacking monsters attack points!" Kisho held up his Duel Disk as his Life Points jumped to 6000.

"Kisho," Arnia lowered her head, "I've got to say for the lowest rank in the school you've got a few good moves."

"Thanks," Kisho looked at the last card in his hand, "I'll set this." His card appeared on the field behind his Luster Soldier.

Arnia drew a card before smiling, "First I gain 500 Life Points by my Solemn Wishes," it started to rain on Arnia's side of the field as her Life Points jumped to 11100. "And Fire Princess takes 500 of your Life Points!" Arnia yelled as her monster threw a fire ball at Kisho hitting him and causing his Life Points to drop to 5500. "Next Princess Pikeru's effect I gain a total of 1600 Life Points for my two monsters." Princess Pikeru glowed as Arnia's Life Points increased to 12700. Fire Princess blasted Kisho again reducing his Life Points to 5000. "And I'll end my turn with another Fire Princess!" Arnia's new Fire Princess appeared on the field next to her Princess Pikeru.

"Seems like your all set," Kisho drew a card from his deck. "Even if I try to attack her monsters she'll take the hit," Kisho looked at the one card in his hand. "I'll summon my own White Magician Pikeru 1200/0 in defense mode!" Kisho stated his his monster appeared on the field it had its arms folded and was down on one knee. "Now Black Luster Soldier attack a Fire Princess!"

Kisho monster jumped into the air ready to attack. "Activate the effect of my Astral Barrier!" Arnia's trap glowed as her Princess jumped out of the way, Black Luster Soldier's blade hit the ground sending a shock wave that hit Arnia lowering her Life Points by 3000.

"I'm finish," Kisho said calmly.

As the Duel stood now, Kisho had 5000 Life Points, his Black Luster Soldier in attack mode, and his White Magician's Pikeru in defense mode. He also had one hidden card and his Reincarnation Spell in play. Arnia on the other hand had 9700 Life Points, as well as two Fire Princesses in play and Princess Pikeru. She had Solemn Wishes and Astral Barrier and Light of Intervention in play.

Arnia drew a card from her deck, her Life Points jumped to 10200. "I guess you know what happens next," Arnia stated as her Fire Princesses fired off two fire balls hitting Kisho and reducing his Life Points by 1000. "Also I gain a total of 2400 Life Points for having 3 monsters on the field," Arnia quickly looked over at her two Fire Princesses.

"Oh, this is getting old!" Kisho sighed as he got blasted by both monsters.

After all was said and done Kisho was down to 3000 Life Points while Arnia was at 12600. "After all that I've only got you 100 Life Points lower?"

"Now what to do about your Pikeru?" Arnia questioned. "I can't have you gaining Life Points like me. Go Fire Princess take down her Pikeru!" Fire Princess shot out a blast from her staff aimed right at Kisho's monster.

"Just the move I was waiting for!" Kisho's hidden card sprung up, "Mirror Force!" Kisho yelled as a white mirror appeared on the field it absorbed Arnia's blast before shattering, it then blasted the shards at Arnia's monster destroying each of them in a blast of light and smoke.

"No!" Arnia yelled surprised as she looked at her empty field, "That was a great move Kisho."

"Thanks," Kisho said letting out a sigh. "I thought you'd never attack."

"Well you got me this time, but the Duel isn't over yet," Arnia took a card from her hand. "I'll summon my Nimble Momonga (1000/100) in defense mode, and I'll lay this hidden card down."

"Okay my turn!" Kisho quickly drew a card from his deck.

"Go face down!" Arnia yelled revealing it, it was a Trap with a picture of a girl surrounded by spirits. "Bad Reaction to Simochi will turn the Life Point gaining effect of any card to direct damage!"

"Damn!" Kisho said as his Pikeru began to glow but instead of white light a black light surrounded Kisho lower his Life Points by 800 to 2200.

"Just like how you used my Astral Barrier to help you gain Life Points I'll use your Pikeru to help me reduce your Life Points!" Arnia stated.

"Minor setback," Kisho looked at the lone card in his hand. "I'll switch my Pikeru to attack mode, and have it attack your Nimble Momonga!" Kisho yelled as his Pikeru let out a blast that destroyed the Nimble Momonga, before the monster began to shatter two more appeared on the field. "What!"

"Not only does destroying my Nimble Momonga let me summon two more to the field, but every time one is destroyed I gain 1000 Life Points," Arnia calmly stated as her Life Points became 13600.

"Damn then I got no choice," He looked over at his Black Luster Soldier, "Attack her monster!" His monster jumped forward slashing the monster in half and increasing Arnia's Life Points to 14600.

"I'm done," Kisho calmly said as he looked on the field. The more I try to bring her down the more she keeps fighting back.

At that moment Gellert was walking back towards the dorms with the two Slifer Red girls by his side. "Yeah you've got to check this guy out, I mean he may be the lowest rank Slifer but he's got skills, he took down a teacher," Gellert smiled.

"Hey," the first girl said, she had short hair that was spiked up in the back, and green eyes. "Someone's Dueling!"

"What?" Gellert said turning his attention to the Duel in front of him. He was surprised at who he saw Dueling, "Kisho's going up against a second year Ra Yellow?"

"That's Kisho?" the second girl asked, she had brown hair that was shoulder length in two small ponytails and blue eyes. "He's losing and badly."

"WHAT!" Gellert jaw dropped. "KISHO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"

"Huh?" Kisho turned around to see Gellert looking at him, "Hey!"

"Don't 'Hey' me! You're losing!"

"Yeah, Arnia here is my tutor and she's a pretty good Duelist too," Kisho rubbed the back of his head, "I guess you could say she's giving me a lesson now."

"On what? How to get your butt kicked?" Gellert shook his head.

"Yeah, I know it looks bad now, but I think I can make some kind of comeback, at least I think so," Kisho looked up at the sky as he stated that last line.

"Back to the Duel Kisho," Arnia said annoyed at the little conversation as she drew a card from her deck. "My Life Points increase now!" She stated as it started to rain on her side of the field. Her Life Points became 15100. "Next I'll summon another Fire Princess (1300/1500) in defense mode, and place a hidden card on the field." The two cards appeared on the field, first the Fire Princess down on one knee and the hidden card behind her.

"Okay!" Kisho drew a card from his deck. "Thanks to Pikeru and your Trap I lose 800 Life Points." Kisho looked down at his Life Point reader as it dropped to 1400. "I held off on playing this because of your Bad Reaction to Simochi card but I got no choice now!" Kisho placed the card in the reader. "Fulfillment of the Contract, it will allow me to revive one Ritual Monster destroyed during this Duel but I've got to give up 800 Life Points," Kisho's Life Points dropped to 600. "Now come back Paladin of White Dragon (1900/1200)!" Kisho yelled as his monster appeared on the field. "Now I've got 3 monsters on my field. "Go Paladin of White Dragon destroy her Fire Princess!" Kisho monster fired off a blast that incinerated Arnia's monster.

"Not so fast!" Arnia triggered his hidden card, "Backfire will force you to take 500 damage for destroying my Fire Princess."

"What that will leave Kisho with only 100 Life Points!" Gellert yelled as a huge explosion covered Kisho.

"That smart," Kisho dusted himself off, as his Life Points became 100. "Now to continue!" Kisho pointed at Arnia's Nimble Momonga, "Pikeru wipe out that monster and Black Luster Soldier attack her directly!" Kisho yelled as his monster sprang into action, White Magician's Pikeru blasted Arnia's Nimble Momonga increasing her Life Points to 16100. Then Black Luster Soldier slashed Arnia in the shoulder doing 3000 points of direct damage, reducing her Life Points to 13100. "And I set a hidden card."

"That's the way Kisho!" Gellert yelled on the top of his lungs. He'd better win otherwise I have a feeling these girls are going to split.

"My turn," Arnia drew a card, "Kisho this Duel has been a great one but it ends now! Arnia placed a card down on the field. "Premature Burial will revive one of my Fire Princesses in attack mode!" Arnia stated as her monster reappeared on the field.

"Your not-"

"That's right, I'm going to cause my Fire Princess to battle your Black Luster Soldier, once he destroys her my Backfire Trap will reduce your Life Points to 0, now battle!" Fire Princess began to charge up her attack as Black Luster Soldier just stood there as the blast came at him, he swatted the blast away with his free arm it flew back towards Fire Princess.

"Not this turn!" Kisho yelled as his face down revealed itself, "Enemy Controller will allow me to take control of one of your monsters, but I've got to give up one of my own," Kisho looked over at his White Magician's Pikeru as the monster disappeared. Fire Princess quickly dodged the attack and jumped over to Kisho's side of the field.

That was brilliant not only did he keep himself from losing to Backfire but by giving up his Pikeru he made Arnia's Trap useless. Professor Helm noted.

"I'm impressed," Arnia signaled for Kisho to take his turn. Her Fire Princess jumped back to her side of the field. "But I've still got a pretty solid defense against your monsters. That is you can't destroy my Fire Princess without losing the Duel."

"She's got a point," Kisho muttered. "Well whatever happens I've got to say this has been one intense Duel, and that I'm happy it was against you."

"Thanks," Arnia nodded her head.

"Now!" Kisho drew a card from his deck. "All I can do is switch all my monsters to defense mode and end my turn." All of Kisho's monsters took a knee.

"That's probably what I would do in your situation," Arnia drew a card from her deck, surprised she turned the card around for Kisho to see.

"Rain of Mercy," Kisho said shaking his end. A small smile crept up on his face. "I may have lost the Duel, but at least I know my tutor isn't a push over, go ahead end it," he stated.

"I'll play Rain of Mercy! It will increase both our Life Points by 1000 points, or in your case decrease it by 1000!" Arnia played the card as her Life Points increased to 14100, but on the flip side Kisho's Life Points were lowered to 0.

"Good game!" Kisho said replacing all his cards and placing them in his deck holder on his belt, he turned off his Duel Disk and walked over to Arnia.

"Yeah it was," Arnia shook Kisho hand.

"I thought you said he had skills?" the first girl said smugly, "Lets go!" she said to the other girl as they walked away from Gellert who was standing there with his jaw hanging down.

"YOU LOST KISHO!" Gellert was stomping mad in their dorm room.

"Can't win them all," Kisho said calmly, he was sitting at the desk going through his deck. "Besides its not so bad when you think about it."

"Not bad, according to everyone her Life Points never dropped below 8000!"

"Yeah, but at least she was a second year, besides she's got some skills, did you see the way she played her traps, so perfectly," Kisho started to smile.

"Don't tell me your falling for this girl?"

"No!" Kisho blushed.

"Good, because a relationship with a girl who can kick your ass is not a good thing," Gellert shook his head.

"This is so good, I came to Duel Academy to unlock the potential people back home are telling me I have, and with Duelist like Arnia around I'm bound to get better," Kisho sighed.

"You can't be serious, thanks to you I lost two very hot Slifer Red girls," Gellert lowered his head. "They thought it was cool I was friends with the person who beat Professor Tavarius, but they saw you lose."

Arnia walked up to the end of the dock, Nero was standing there with his arms cross. "I heard what you did," he stated not taking his eyes off the sun setting.

"I don't see what you have against him Nero," Arnia shook her head.

"Of course you wouldn't understand," Nero uncrossed his arms and walked by her, never once looking her in the eye.

"What's his problem?" Arnia asked as she watched him walk away.
