Last Time on...
GX: It Doesn't Mean Generation X
"I'm Matthew Slaymaker."
"Julia, I teach the functions of effect cards and dueling. You teach the synergy and the botany stem of card chaining, and the chemistry behind them."
"I'm Sarai Densky."
"M'names Jaden Yuki!"
"My god...there's two of them."
"Let her in."
"Y-You recommended a student!"
"Jaden Yuki, please report to exam field four. Matthew Slaymaker, to exam field six.''
"N-No..." Chazz whispered as he looked at the applicant with dead horror. "There's no way!"
"You better believe it, I won!" Chazz slowly stood off the ground as he glared at the teen before looking at Crowler, who looked quite interested at what just happened. "Professor Crowler! He cheated! There's no way that he could have won!"
"That's bull-!"
Crowler sternly glared over at Matthew, "Young man, there's a lot of thing I tolerate, but profanity is not one of them especially from a student!"
"Now, as I was saying, although some of the moves that he did were questionable, he nevertheless beaten you in a duel fair a square."
"But..."
"Get over it Chazz, you lost." Matt said with a grin, "But hey, maybe next time you'll get me down by a 1000 when we duel." Everyone laughed as Chazz's face began to contort with rage. This...slacker bested him? This slacker-
"CHAZZ PRINCETON!"
Present Time
First Person POV
"Oh dear..." I barely heard Crowler mutter as Chazz stared at me, his abhorrer to the duel was instantly morphed into terror. "M-Ms. Chung..."
"Don't you Ms. Chung me," I practically snarled out as I marched over to Chazz, who looked like he was staring into the eyes of a demon. From the way I was right now? I wouldn't blame him if he brought out holy water and splash me right here. "Just what kind of performance was that?" The Obelisk tried to talk, but nothing came out.
"You allowed yourself to make silly mistakes in your duel. You allowed yourself to lose your cool. You allowed yourself to lose!"
"Now hold on a second lady-"
"You shut up," I snapped at the Stu, "One more word from you and I'll revoke your entrance from Duel Academy."
"That's bullshit!"
Oh this kid did not just test me...
"You can't do that!"
...this idiot actually did.
In response I pulled out a lighter and his application paper. The Stu looked at it in shock as I lit it on fire. In matter of seconds I set his application form ablaze.
Not really caring what the janitor would think, I threw the charred paper over my shoulder. Nobody said a word as I clicked my zippo lighter shut. The noise of the cap being closed echoed much more louder than a damn pin dropping on the floor.
"Thank you for coming, now get the fuck out of here, exits on your right." He stood there in shock as I returned my attention back to Chazz. "Why the hell didn't you do something when he destroyed Chthonian Soldier?"
"H-He played Divine Punishment-"
"Wrong answer!" I cut him off, "Divine Punishment wouldn't do shit because you had priority! That trap card only works when there's a card on the field! Here's how it goes: It first negates then destroys! Chthonian Soldier's effect activates the moment he's destroyed in battle! Do you see where I'm getting at?"
Chazz slumped the moment I started with Chthonian Soldier having priority over the Stu's worthless trap. "You can't negate an effect when the said effect monster is already in the fucking graveyard. Also, Victoria can't negate spells or trap cards, so you could have used Dark Hole...actually, that brings up another question. Why didn't you use Dark Hole? In fact, why didn't you use Heavy Storm to destroy his facedown - don't you give me that excuse, I saw the cards in your hand with the moderator cam."
I took a deep breath and motioned at Chazz's cards that was still in his hand and in his duel disk.
"Let me see your cards. All of them." the little brat knew that if he were to disobey me right here, the situation as well as his public humiliation would be worse than as of is right now. So without saying anything else, Chazz took his deck out first, then the set cards and finally the remaining cards in hand onto his deck.
Not giving him the time to hand me his deck properly, I swiped it out of his hands and looked at the last seven cards that he placed at the top...
Now there's something that everyone should know about me. When I'm happy, I'm happy.
When I'm unhappy, I'm very unhappy.
When I'm really unhappy, everyone get's to see how unhappy I am. It doesn't matter who was watching me, it could be some guy's grandma or the parents that were there to pick up their kids from whatever the hell they were there to do. Everyone was going to see just how upset I am...
The audience gasped I chucked the remaining thirty-four cards to the wall. The cards scattered all over the ground as I held up the seven other cards in my hand. I knew I was visibly shaking because my vision would focus in one damn place. But I didn't need that because the only thing I care about was Chaz, who was shrinking from my intensified scowl.
"Are you fucking shitting me here?" He as well as everyone in the vicinity, flinched at the profanity. "ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME HERE!" I repeated, much more louder than the first time, incase the first one didn't get through his slick-hair that was protecting his brain.
I shoved the two set cards, that Chazz placed in the duel, into his hand. "Read it. Read it out loud so that everyone in the fucking stands can hear you." Chazz hesitantly took the card and read the first one. His once confident and arrogant tone evaporated as he was reduced to stutters and mumbles.
"C-Chth-thonian Hellfire...W-When a-"
"What's the card type?"
"C-Counter-Trap..."
"So what does that mean?"
"I-It means I-I..."
"Ms. Chung I think this has gone far enough-" My head slowly turned to Crowler. Getting the message, the Obelisk Headmaster shook his head and sat back down in his seat.
"Continue." I snapped harsly, "I-I can u-use this card i-in a response t-to what happened."
My scornful gaze didn't even died down as Chazz took that cue to continue. "W-When a C-Chthonian monster is sent to the g-grave by b-battle, a-and t-there are no m-monters on m-my side of the field... destroy a-all cards on the field and take f-five hundred points of d-damage for e-each card d-destroyed..."
"Now what the hell was the next card that you set?" Chazz, while shaking uncontrollably, picked out his second facedown. "C-Call of the H-Haunted, w-when..."
"What the hell would you have summoned? Tell me!" The cards slipped out of his hand, "Ch-Chthonian S-Soldier."
"Now go through your hand and read out Inferno Reckless Summoning - and why the fuck are you still here?" I was referring to the dumb ass cheater, who still stood there in shock. "Get out, or else I'll call security to detain you!"
I turned my attention back at Chazz who was in the middle of saying the cards effect out loud. Once he finished, I looked at the audience. Some were watching sympathetically to Chazz, some were watching with grim horror. Others were laughing for the public humiliation.
"Did everyone hear that?" I asked as they nodded, the ones that were laughing were now clenching their stomach. "Can everyone see me?" I questioned as I got the same response.
Now to shut every one of these immature sonuvabitches that were laughing...
Everyone gasped, some screamed, and the ones that were laughing? They stopped. The laughing slowly but surely died away as they looked at me with trepidation.
What did I do to gain that kind of reaction? Oh nothing much...
...just bitch-slapping Chazz across the face. The once pompous teen fell hard on the ground, tears were threatening to come out of his eyes as his cheek began to grow bright red.
"Four years Chazz, four god damn years, I tutored you while you were in dueling prep-school. I taught you various of combos and counters. I gave you simulations of what would happen when something like this were to happen. You came out top in your class, you were undefeated."
My gaze soften a bit. "I was proud of you..."
It didn't last long, my black look came back with full force. "...but now, I'm just sick of looking at you. You could have beaten him right here and then! But instead, you choked-"
"How could I have?"
There's another thing you should know about me and most of the Korean population, or Asians in general...we hate it whenever we're interrupted, especially if it's to punish someone.
He points over at the Stu, "He countered me withe everything! I tried to play the strategy you taught me, and guess what? He played me like a book-"
"THEN MAKE A NEW STRATEGY!" he yelped when I pulled him back up, "YOU RETARD, IT'S YOUR DECK! IF PLAN A DOESN'T WORK, THEN YOU MAKE A PLAN B! IF PLAN B DOESN'T WORK THEN YOU FUCKING MAKE A PLAN C! YOU CONSTANTLY MAKE NEW PATHWAYS OF PLANS TO TRY AND WIN! YOUR THE ONE WHO SHOULD KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR OWN DECK, NOT SOME SNOT NOSE BRAT!"
I threw him back onto the ground, making him groan. I loomed over Chazz as he covered his face...
...I dropped the remaining cards from my hand onto the ground.
"We'll continue this later, gather up your deck and leave." Hesitantly, and obediently, the Obelisk picked up his cards and walked over to the ground where the rest of his deck were scattered. Kneeling on the ground, picked them up one by one without a word.
A heavy tension was around the arena as no one talked, they only stared. Jaden walked over to help, only to be pushed away.
"Leave me alone..." Chazz requested as he gathered ten of the forty that were dropped.
"Ms. Chung, if your quite done-"
"No, I'm not." I turned to Crowler with the same scornful look that I gave to Chazz. "You could have won that duel. You had Ancient Gear Explosive! Why didn't you use it?"
Jaden blinked. "Wait...what?"
"Ancient Gear Explosive," Crowler began, "Is a spell card that allows me to tribute one Ancient Gear Monster in my field and deal half of it's attack points directly to your life points." Jaden paused...before it finally sunk in on what Crowler was saying. The stage was soon clamoring once more as they talked about the million dollar question:
Why didn't Crowler use that card?
Jaden, the courageous and naive one he is, spoke up on everyone's bewilderment.
"Why..."
"Because Mr. Yuki, I don't test my applicants to see if they can beat me." Othewise he'd be like me and not allow anyone in the Academy. "My test was designated to see if you can overcome a very large obstacle. My test was to see if you can defeat me when I had a monster like the Ancient Gear Golem on the field." He stared at the applicant with a smile.
"And you passed, remarkably." Jaden chuckled sheepishly while I looked at Crowler with a disappointed look on my face. "Your getting soft doctor."
"It would appear that way," Crowler said as the two of us looked over at the Stu, who was now infuriated at what I did. Whether it was from burning his application or publicly humiliating my pupil, I don't know. It could be both, but right now that's not the important thing...
...where's that damn walkie-talky to call security?
"Now what to do with him?"
"He did disobey you, for cursing, and now he's disobeying me for not leaving. I think we should call security-"
"Why should I leave? I won fair and square!" We shot the rebellious boy a sneer. "Fair? Yeah right, and I'm gay. You clearly cheated the moment you lied to the other opponent about the card effects. Also, It doesn't mean shit when you can't even follow your teachers order."
"I did warn you Mr. Slaymaker that you would be out of the program if you curse in front of me again." Mr. Crowler stated as the students began to boo, "However I'm not a man whose not entirely biased with the situation. You were frustrated at that moment, so I shall give you one more chance-"
"What chance? I won fair and-"
"You ignored not one but two teachers, you directly rebelled our warning, and now your being very obnoxious and rude to two very superior ranking faculty members that can deny your entrance right here." I listed off. "Do you really want me to continue with the bullshit you're pulling off here?"
"Y-You can't..."
"I just burned your application form, want to see what else I would do? Keep talking."
Wisely, the Stu shuts himself up.
"Crowler?"
"You will have one more chance to see if you can enter Duel Academy with this condition." He motions over to me as I cracked my neck, side by side. "Best her in a duel, or last for five turns and your automatically in."
The Stu blinked. "That's it?" he, as well as most of the audience, laughs as the annoying Stu shuffles his deck. "That's going to be easy! I mean, if I beat her student, then this one is going to be a piece of cake!"
Oh is that so? Crowler must have noticed my irritation as he frowned at the rather bumptious applicant. Crowler couldn't believe that there was someone that was actually more conceited than Chazz...in fact, he made Chazz look like a five year old child with temper tantrum with his arrogance.
"Don't assume that you can win this duel." Crowler warned at the boy. "Ms. Chung dueled one-hundred and fifty five students today, and defeated them all." He snorts.
"So? that just means I'll be the first to ruin her streak." I chuckled as one of the assistants handed me a duel disk and helped me slip it onto my arm.
"Here's the 411. I raped them all, with our standard proctor deck. Meaning I only went about 20 or 30 percent of my actual potential." Everyone ceased their laughter, including the Stu. "If I used my own deck, here's what would happen. None of the applicants would ever make a scratch on my life points, and I would finish them off within three to four turns. Also, since were in the 4000 range, it doesn't take long for me to beat them."
I adjusted her gear and frowned, "Luckily for you, I didn't bring my deck. So..." I turned to Chazz, who finally gathered all his cards. "Chazz." The said teen snapped to where his name was being called at. "Give me your deck."
"W-What?"
"I said, give me your deck. I'm going to use it to duel this brat."
My anger died down, now I was thinking more rationally than I was twenty minutes ago.
"I was angry with your poor performance today, but what pissed me off even more was this asshole that cheated one of my prize pupil from their victory. I'll beat him with your deck."
His eyes widened as he looked at the Stu.
"B-But he has-"
"Don't worry about that ball of fun, I'll take it out." Chazz looked at me and back at the Stu. His anger was coming back full force as his gaze lingered on the duelist. Decision made, Chazz handed his deck to me with one simple request.
"Kick his ass." I couldn't help but to smile as Chazz sat next to Crowler and Jaden.
"Don't worry; by the end of this duel, he won't have an ass to sit on." I slipped the deck into the duel disk as it auto-shuffled quickly before, spitting out five cards.
I looked over at the Stu and smirked. "Let's see if you can even last for two turn, I doubt it thought." The Stu scowled as he drew five. I quickly glanced down at my hand, and frowned. Damn it, there's no monsters to normal summon. It looks like I'm in a pitch, for now.
Duel
Julia: 4000
Stu: 4000
"I draw!" His eyes wandered before it changed into a smirk. "Alright I think I'll start off with this handy card called, Card of Destruction! With this, we send all of our cards to the grave, and draw the exact amount of cards that we discarded."
I show no worry to the fact that I was suppose to discard all my cards in hand. In fact I was pretty damn happy. Now I can get a clean slate. I followed what the card effect ordered us both to do before looking at my new hand.
Game set.
"Next, I activate my monster's effect from my hand! By-" I stopped him with my hand up high as I crossed my arms, pretending to think of what he was going to do.
"Let's see..." I hummed, "Your using a fairy deck, and you just discarded your hand, I would have said that would be a dumb ass move, but then there's the fact that you get five new cards."
I point over his duel disk. "I also noticed, while I was discarding my hand, that four of the five cards were all monsters. So let's think this out: Card Destruction plus four possible fairy-type monsters plus a new hand; to add another fact, you just said that you were going to use a monster effect from your hand...that could mean one thing..."
I snapped my fingers. "Your going to summon Archlord Kristya."
Everyone's mouth dropped as the Stu let the card slip from his hand, and lands on his duel disk. Just like how I predicted, a man with orange wings emerged from the ground. Yes people, orange wings. As the male descended his pale skin marveled nearly everyone in the crowd.
Archlord Kristya
Attack: 2800
Defense: 2300
"Woah," Jaden whispered in awe. "That teach read him like a book." He turned to Chazz, who was equally as surprised at what I did. "Did you know that she could do that?"
"I-I did, but-"
"It's still something isn't it?" Crowler finished him as the two nodded their head. "Ms. Chung is one of our best duelist here in our Academy. Of course, it's possibly because of the subject that she teaches; because in order to know the many symbiotic relationship that each cards has, she needs to know each effect of each cards to try and find a way to make her strategies work." He motioned over to the shocked Stu.
"In a sense, it's no surprise she understood what he was going to do, because he's truly exposing himself to her like an open book."
"Are you going to finish anytime soon?" I asked, completely bored with him being all awe and shit with my Sherlock Holmes detection skills. The Stu realized it was still his turn. He glared at me, as if his pause was my fault from the start. "I'll throw down a face down, and since I haven't normal summoned yet, I think I'll just send out my Consecrated Light again!" the hologram did it's work, and out came the "ball of fun" that caused Chazz so much problems.
Consecrated Light
Attack: 0
Defense: 0
"Oh man," Syrus began as he looked at the monster, "Two monsters in one turn? And to bring out Consecrated Light again? What can't this guy do?"
Bastion knew that he was going to hate that punk who called him "second-best", and now he was hating him even more. He knew that it was bad to feel smug when that teacher burned up his application form, but to see that Stu in a state of shock was something that he'll forever keep in his head.
Now he was agreeing with Syrus's weary as two monsters, one almost over 3000 attack points and another that completely locks down her deck, emerged onto the field.
"A little advice, I suggest you don't hold back; because I'll use every single technique in my arsenal to take down my opponent."
Oh so now he's giving me advice?
"Kid, your ten years early to even give me advice. Here's one from my own though, you should be careful what you wish for..." I drew my sixth and smirked. "...because you might just get it, first I activate a really special magic card, Soul Exchange." The Stu paused, "What does that do?"
"What it does is allow me to use one of your monsters as a tribute summon for my own, guess which one I'm going to use?" His eyes widened, "I don't think so! I activate my facedown, Magic Jammer! Now I won't have to worry about your spell card destroying Consecrated Light because it gets destroyed!"
Instead of feeling dejected, I gave him a rather evil smile. "Psyche! Thanks for activating that trap card, I was worried what that card was." The Stu looked at me with bewilderment as I groaned.
"Oh come on, did you actually think that Soul Exchange was my priority overall? I used it as a bait to see what kind of trap you set for me. Also Soul Exchange won't allow me to attack on this turn if it fully went through, so thanks dumbass for activating Magic Jammer, cause now I can use this - Smashing Ground!"
It was so fast that no one saw it happening...ok that's a complete lie, everyone saw it. I mean, how else would they gasp like in those Korean show where those damn Koreans put in that fake and annoying 'oooooh' or 'ahhhh' noise whenever something stupid happens.
Where was I? Oh right, explaining what wasn't happening so fast: A giant ass fist came crashing down onto Kristya as the fairy monster was instantly crashed right in front of his eyes.
"Sucks that you had to use that trap huh?"
"Troll." A blond lolita muttered as she twirled her dark umbrella-
"How come your not putting my name in the fanfic?"
...huh?
"You already told the audience in chapter three what my name is, so why aren't you using it?"
W-Well...
...good point.
Alright fine. Let's do this again.
Haleigh nodded her head as she watched the field with disinterest. "Troll."
"N-No..."
"Oh yeah, before I forget, I activate my spell card, Monster Reborn." I waved the said card with a cute smile. "Sucks that you used up Magic Jammer, otherwise you could have negated this card huh?" the Stu began to grin his magnificent teethes together as I activated my spell card, "I summon, from my grave, Chthonian Emperor Dragon-"
"Hey!" he points over at Consecrated Light, "Did you forget? Consecrated Light won't allow you to summon any Dark type monsters." he explained while giving me a smug look on his face.
I shook my head. "Hey fucktard, did you forget? Not all Chthonian monsters are Dark type?"
A geyser of flame erupted from the ground as the flames slowly retreated back to the hole. They heard a hiss, as a serpentine like monster slowly slithered out of Hell and onto the field. It's skeletal form slowly began to fill with nerves and blood vessels, then muscles, and then finally the skin. The creature spread it's wing as it unleashed a horrifying shriek.
Chthonian Emperor Dragon
Attack: 2400
Defense: 1500
"Chthonian Emperor Dragon is a gemini monster..." I hummed, "Come to think of I, I haven't normal summoned yet." The Stu's eyes widened as I point at the hellish creature and grinned. "I Gemini Summon Chthonian Emperor Dragon!" The dragon's body flashed for a moment before a massive ball of flame began to conjure in it's mouth.
"Fire!" The dragon blasted small "ball of fun" into smithereens with it's massive fiery ball of death.
The Stu: 4000 - 2400 = 1600
"I forgot to mention one thing, Chthonian Emperor Dragon's effect after he gains his Gemini Summoning. He can attack twice in one turn-"
"Not today! I activate my spell-card, Book of Moon! Changing your monster to facedown defense mode!" The dragon vanished in thin air as it flipped facedown, a card replaced the dragon.
"Fine, I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn." He struggled to get up as his eyes furiously glared into the teachers. "T-There's no way I'm going to lose here!" The rather amused professor crossed her arms and smirked, if you don't know who this amused professor is then I'm not even going to bother trying.
"Oh really? Cause all I have to do is wait for this next turn and you lose."
"No!" He draws. "I won't be denied access here! I need to find my little brother and sister!"
Suddenly I felt a little...weird. Almost as if something was trying to grab hold of me. The Stu elegantly swished his hair as the women's swooned once more...well except for me, I just feels like I was getting violated.
"What?"
And so I had to bear the agony (Haleigh and Sarai included) of listening to his tragic past while everyone else cried in tears and forgotten all about how much of a dick that this kid was.
"-and my sister was raped because I was scared to do anything. It's not like you'd understand what I'm going through anyways."
My response?
"Hello, I'm Julia Chung and because of my incompetence I killed my sister because of her tuberculosis. Now what was that about 'not understanding what you're going through' part?"
Remember how in chapter 1 I was going to explain what the hell my problem was? Well there it is.
He sputtered before his face grew red.
"My mom abandoned me after that day! I felt betrayed and..."
Once again everyone, except for the names above, cried.
My response?
"Hello again, my name is Julia Chung and because my mom never really cared about us, she left our family to chase after a rich guy in Paris, and the only time we had the chance to contact her was the day before my sister died. Funny thing is, before my sister died, my mom was suppose to take care of her. So what's this part about feeling betrayed?"
He gapped as he pointed his fingers at me. "H-How can you casually mentioned her death like that? Y-You heartless woman! You don't care for anyone at all, you're cruel a-and a self-center bitch! Who else would burn up someone's application paper when they passed?"
Everyone agreed, except for the name mentioned above.
My response?
"Hi pot, my name is kettle. By the way? Your black. Do you need a rag to clean that off?"
...and then it got really strange...
"You can't possibly triumph, you're just a human with a weapon, not even close to we Stus, godlike beings. Our numbers will continue to swell, while yours decline from death and simple realization that you won't win. I am perfect, you are flawed. Though you are close enough that if you made one toe out of line, and you are one of us. We've killed one of your best people before and next time we'll get rid of you all."
I blinked. Looking around, I realized that no one was really paying attention to that particular dialogue, the only thing that they were enamored was the Stu's appearance. I slowly turned back to the Stu and finally broke out the question.
"Dude, just what the fuck are you talking about?"
He smirked and set one card facedown before playing Scapegoat. "Well whatever, it's not like your going to win..." I muttered as I drew. "I activate the spell card, Pot of Greed, this allows me to draw two more cards." I looked at the three cards in my hands, two from which I drew with Pot of Greed.
"I then activate the spell card, Magical Stone Excavation, by sending two cards from my hand to the grave I can bring one spell card from the grave into my hand." From the effect, I took out the number one card that I am somewhat well known for to use.
"I'll end my turn by flipping up my monster back into attack mode and destroying one Scapegoat on the field." The dragon hissed as it flipped the card over it's body and blasted away the rather adorable looking sheep much to the female populace's displeasure.
"Now it's my move!" He drew, "First I activate the trap card, DNA Surgery in order to change my three scapegoats as well as your axewoman into a fairy type attribute!" The three remaining sheep protruded wings out of their backs. Not going to lie, I had a hard time resisting their adorableness.
"Now I'll sacrifice all three of them, in order to summon the Queen of Fate - Eternia!"
I couldn't believe it...the fucker is cheating again!
My blood boiled the moment the fairy monster emerged onto the field. Her white dress flowed like a river as the back of her head was covered in a white veil. In her hand was a small golden scepter, but on her left arm was a small green goblin that was carrying a bigger axe.
Queen of Fate - Eternia
Attack: 2400
Defense: 2000
I should be mad, I should be so fucking pissed off that someone like him could summon her onto the field! I should fucking stop this match and just black-list him right here and now...and yet...
...why, why does that monster look so sad? The goblin on her arm looked like it was having the time of his life, but...the queen herself. She looked absolutely miserable.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" I darkly asked as the Stu simply grin.
"Winning, I'll equip my fairy with the Cestus of Dagla, with this my queen's power increases by 500!" It was a second, but I saw the woman cringe the moment he said 'my queen'. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that this one is not liking the bastard that she's working for.
I can't be too sure...I still have this turn and two more full ones before he wins the match.
"I'll attack you monster with my fairy!"
"I don't think so," Pressing a button on my duel disk, one of the three set cards flipped open, "You activated my trap, Chthonian Aura! Although your monsters attack power doubles, your monster switches it's attack position to defense mode! Also, you can't change it's battle position until your second Main Phase." To my shock, instead of the fairy growing stronger, the goblin on her arm does. The creature, parasitically, took in all the energy for itself and grew. Soon it leaped off of the queen's arm as it was too big for her to sit on.
Queen of Fate - Eternia
Attack: 2900 x2 = 5800
Defense: 2000
The Stu scoffed, "Tch, I'll set one card facedown and end my turn." I sighed, turn three.
"I activate Pot of Greed, to draw two cards, and then I activate my facedown card, Jar of Greed in order to draw another card from my deck." Instead of one, now were three as I glanced over at the cards. "I'll set one more card face down, and gemini summon my Chthonian Emperor Dragon! With it, I'm able to attack you twice on this turn!"
"I don't think so, I activate my trap, Eternia's Blessing!" His wonderful face contorted into a disgusting smug, however it somehow didn't mar his face at all. "Your monster's attack point will be dropped to zero. Not only that, but your monster attack points will be transferred over to my life points-"
"That's where your wrong, I activate my trap card Chthonian Intervention!" From the grave Chthonian Soldier leaped and cut through the trap card, and sliced up the trap. "Although I have to end my battle phase, it not only negates your trap, but takes up one of your spells and trap spot." A dark aura blocked one of the holes in his duel disk.
"My draw!" the Stu announced as turn four began, "I'll set one more card and end my turn," He grinned, "What now? You got one more turn left before my monster destroys you, and even if you managed to destroy this card you won't be able to scratch my life points and I'll win by default-"
"Will you just shut the fuck up?" I moaned, "Jesus Christ, your worse than Fonda and Hibiki together, and trust me dude that's saying something." I muttered as I looked at the newest card in my hand and the other two that were in my hand.
"Alright, First I summon Chthonian Soldier in attack mode!" The monster that wasn't given a chance to attack in the previous match finally arrives as the creature glared at the woman...
...wait...do I hear a sniffle? Something about...a father? Bah, I'm probably imagining things. "Next I activate my facedown card, Ultimate Offering, by sacrificing 500 of my life points I can summon once more. I sacrifice Chthonian Emperor Dragon and Chthonian Soldier..."
Ms. Chung: 4000 - 500 = 3500
The two archetypal monsters incinerated themselves into flames. "In order to summon Chthonian Inferno Dragon!" From two pillar of flames emerged one as a dark colored dragon emerged, from the crevice of it's hides light fired flared up as the dragon roared.
Chthonian Inferno Dragon
Attack: 2000
Defense: 2000
"A monster with 2000 attack points?" Alexis questioned. "Why bother summoning that when you can just attack Eternia with Chthonian Emperor Dragon?"
"Because of it's effect," Zane continued as he watched the Stu activate his trap, "Judging from the way Matthew is activating his trap, I'm assuming that he's thinking the same way."
"I activate Raigeki Break! By discarding one card in my hand I can destroy one card on the field!" Lightning struck as it shocked the dragon out of it's life. I looked at the empty field before setting one more card in my slot. Alright, now everything is set...
"My move, and since two turns have passed, I switch my Eternia into attack mode and attack you directly-"
"Not so fast, I activate my trap card! Call of the Haunted, this allows me to summon one monster from my grave back onto the field! I summon Chthonian Inferno Dragon!" The dragon returned with a fiery gaze however the dragon didn't last long as the Goblin that was on the queen's arm sliced up the dragon into pieces.
Julia: 3500 (5800 - 4000) = 2300
"W-What? But how!" He demanded as I showed him Chthonian Inferno Dragon's card. "When this card is special summon from the grave, it's attack power doubles. The trick was that I have to summon it first onto the field before I could even activate it's effect." Sliding it back to the grave I watched as the Stu cursed. "I'll set one card facedown and end my turn."
This is it, I need to finish this duel or else I'll lose...and there's not a flying fuck monkey I'm going to allow that to happen!
"My move!" Come on...something good! I drew my card and looked at the card. "I activate Graceful Charity, in order to draw three cards-"
"I activate my trap, Seven Tool of the Bandit-"
"I activate my trap, Trap Jammer!" The tools that emerged from the card suddenly broke into pieces as the Sue cursed out loud. Following with my effect I drew the first card. Chthonian Soldier...
Second card...Reborn Zombie...
Here it is, the last card. Everything rides on this one last card. If I fuck this up then I lose... I can't believe I'm saying this, but God if your up there, then give me the card I need to win this match...
I inhaled before drawing out the card. Exhaling I looked at the card, and sighed in relief. "Oh thank god, it's finally over." The Stu smiled. "So you finally give up?"
"No," I sent Chthonian Soldier and Reborn Zombie into the grave. "I'm ending it. See here's the thing about Chazz's deck, although most of his deck is filled with Dark Attribute monsters, there's a big factor that plays into that."
She points at her grave, "Here's an example, I have three dark attribute monsters in my cemetery - two Chthonian Soldier and one Reborn Zombie. That means I can now special summon Chazz's trump card!"
"Chazz's trump card?" Alexis muttered as Zane's eyes significantly widened.
"She can't mean...how did Chazz get that card?" Alexis looked at the older brother of the Truesdale sibling with bewilderment, this was the first time that Zane was actually affected with something...
However it wasn't just Zane, most of the Obelisk and some of the Ra's were talking to one another about the card that I was talking about.
Syrus looked around in confusion as well as Sarai. "U-Um...what's going on?"
Out of the three, only Bastion was also in a state of shock as he looked at the teacher, a jolt going through his body as he looked at the only card in my hand. "Only ten of them exists in the world, and even someone from the Princeton family would have a hard time getting it..." He trembled as a smile grew on his face.
"...a super rare monster, and we get to see it in action."
A rumble erupted in the arena as the lights started to fade. The crowd of adolescent teens went wild as the dark metallic dragon emerged from the darkness.
It still had the basic similarities from Armed Dragon LV7; the spikes on the body have blades: sharp, long, and incredibly dangerous looking fangs. Its wings were completely made of metal, and it had a longer neck that makes this monster so terrifying to look at. The difference between Armed Dragon LV7 and Dark Armed Dragon? It's armor is colored black.
Dark Armed Dragon
Attack: 2800
Defense: 1000
"So what? You can't finish me off with just that monster! My queen is twice as strong as that dragon!" The Stu confidently yelled out as I shook my head, "You idiot, did you forget about Dark Armed Dragon's special effect? By banishing Chthonian in my graveyard from the game, I can destroy one card on your field."
"NO!" He screamed, "That's not fair! You can't-"
"Did you honestly think that you had a chance against me? The moment you summoned that monster onto the field was when all fairness was thrown out of the window. Dark Armed Dragon, destroy the Queen of Fate - Eternia!"
The dragon reared up its arm and dark energy began to glow on both its palms. To my surprise however, the woman finally opened her eyes and I felt like I was doing her...a favor. When she looked at me, the queen gave me the biggest smile I've seen in my life. It was almost like...she wanted to die.
"Dark Genocide!" I ordered. And the dragon threw two energy bolts at the Queen and the Goblin. The monster tried to run away only to be struck down, the queen however stood in her place. She stretched out her arms wide and accepted the death blow with a smile...
Thank you...
I blinked when a gentle voice breezed into my ears. Regaining my concentration, it was now time to finish this pathetic match. "Dark Armed Dragon...finish him."
"No!" The teen screamed as the dragon fired bolts of dark energy to the defenseless Stu, eliminating the rest of his life points, as the Stu went flying high in the air only to hit the ground with a heavy thump.
The Stu: 1800 - 2800 = 0
Julia: 2200
I lowered my duel disk as I walked over to the Stu's side. "Here let me help you up." I offered as the Stu accepted my hand-
BAM!
The annoying piece of shit fell back onto the ground as I blew my fist, much to the shock of the crowd. Some of the girls shrieked when they saw blood flowing out of his nose and mouth.
"This card is confiscated, you mother fucker." I tore the queen off his duel disk and walked over to Crowler, ready to pounce me with questions. "Crowler," I started before he did. With a flick of a wrist, the card went flying to his direction as the Head Obelisk caught in in the air with a blink.
"Read it, and kick that cheater's ass out of our ring." He blinked and mouthed cheater before looking down at the card. His eyes widened as he reread the card to make sure he wasn't mistaking anything...
...he handed back the card to Julia as he turned to the now conscious teen. "I didn't punch him too hard. Although I wanted to, he needs to be up for this." Crowler looked rather furious, and the Stu noticed this as well as he looked on in fear.
"Security." That was the only thing to be said as two guards came and tried to grab him. "W-What are you doing to me?" Crowler walked up and crossed his arms. Never, in the Stu's life for crossing dimension, has he seen Crowler look this...terrifying. "Matthew Slaymaker, you are banned to ever step foot in Duel Academy or anywhere in our facility. You will be marked black-listed."
"NO! YOU CAN'T!" I handed Chaz my gear as well his deck before walking over to the struggling Stu that was trying to escape the guard's grasp. The students, who didn't know what was going on, were booing the teachers as they thought that the two were being rather unfair to the rather handsome student, even if he was bleeding from the mouth.
"Wait." The guards stopped as I got in front of the Stu. "That first punch? That was for cheating," He opened his mouth-
BAM!
His tooth flew out of his mouth as the teen slumped, forcing the guards to hold him by the pits. "This." I spat out, "Was from the last duel, stealing my kid from his victory." I looked at the two startled guard and motioned them to the exit. "Get this piece of trash out of here."
They didn't need to be told anything else as the two dragged the boy out of the dome.
"Ehem." A voice echoed from the speaker. I looked around, and found Crowler holding a microphone. "We apologize for...that particular scene." he specifically looked over at my direction, "However this was necessary to do, Matthew Slaymaker was in possession of an illegal card. It doesn't matter if he used the monster's effect or not, our fine Academia will never allow cheaters and liars to take a step foot in her presence."
"Cheated?" Alexis repeated in disgust, all feeling for the Stu was now ripped into pieces. He may look handsome and all, but cheaters are still cheaters. Zane was also in agreement as he glared at the place where the Stu once stood.
"Second best..." Bastion scoffed, to be called second best by that buffoon? The only regret that Bastion has right now is that he wasn't the one that destroyed that boy with his formulaic plans.
"No wonder Ms. Chung looked furious..." Sarai knew how I could be, especially when people cheat on their tests back in the orphanage. I made sure those kids would never cross the line of cheating. Forcing them to starve if they were to even look at another person's test or make them skip out breakfast and force them to run a mile. Was it harsh? Yeah. Did I give a damn? Fuck no, as long as they learn to never cheat, I'm a happy bastard.
"Man...and to think I thought that guy was good..."
"Well, it's a good thing that you had that sweet monster to turn that whole duel around! Right Chaz?"
But the Obelisk duelist wasn't paying any attention to the E-Hero duelist, instead he was already walking out of the dome, with a far away look on his face.
"And now," Crowler continued, "A few words from Ms. Chung!" That made them look up as I picked the mic off of Crowler, and looked at the audience around me.
"First off," I began "I want to say congratulations to the seventy-two students here that made it into Duel Academy. I also want to say this, you guys got one hell of a luck to not be tested by me." Some of them chuckled sheepishly as others outright laughed. "Shut up."
And once more the stage died down.
"For the next four years, you guys will be busting your asses off at our Academy to become one of the best duelists there is. If you want a different career, we can supply for that to. All we ask from you is to return what we give to you, work. We want you all to work your buts off here. Just because your in Osiris Red doesn't mean you guys are exempt from doing worse. Our first exams will be up in a month, and if you guys fuck this up, you'll be on the next flight home."
I heard some audible gulps from the stands. "Chancellor Sheppard will be the one that will celebrate your debut in Duel Academy, my job? I'm here to give you all an early reality slap, and I'm going to do this again for those who are going to come to my class." With that I handed the mic back to Crowler before walking on out of the arena.
"Ms. Chung!" I heard from the parking lot as I turned around, only to be ambushed by blond, white and blue. "C-Calm down Sarai-"
"It's been forever!" Sarai cried as I awkwardly patted her on the head. "It's only been about a year since we last met, come on now." I pushed her off of my chest and smiled. "Ah who the hell am I kidding. Look at you! You've grown so much..." I whispered with a forlorn smile on my face. The smile turned into a frown as I flicked the girl hard on the head, making her whimper in pain. "Why did you come late?"
"C-Croquet was fixing my hair and-"
"Nevermind..." I waved off as I picked her off the ground. "Come on, I want you to meet someone. He's one of my pupils that I tutored."
"Is he the one that...you know?" I sighed, "Yeah, but let's not mention that around him ok? I mean- what the hell!" Sarai gasped as the two of us saw Chaz, putting each card into a personal bonfire.
"Chazz! What the fu- oh my god, is that your deck?" I exclaimed as he flicked Chthonian Soldier into the flames. He turned to us and back at his personal campfire, with his deck as the firewood. "Hey Ms. Chung-"
"Don't 'Hey Ms. Chung' me!" I screamed as he threw the last card into the flames. "What the hell are you doing!"
"What does it look like?" He questioned as he sat in front of the fire, "I'm getting rid of this deck." It wasn't a smart or a witty answer, it was...just an answer. I opened my mouth as I try to say something, only for Chazz to cut me off before I could talk. "Ms. Chung...I never had Dark Armed Dragon in my deck..." I closed my mouth.
"...no, you didn't."
"...you put that in there, didn't you?" looking over at Sarai, who looked interested at where this conversation was going, I groaned in irritation and confessed. "Yeah, I put that card in there. I put it in there for a better chance to win-"
"Did I even have a chance to beat that guy?" He asked. Scratching my head, I moaned with irritation. I can't lie to him, not after what I did...
"If he didn't had Eternia..."
Chazz remained silent, before taking out Dark Armed Dragon from his pocket. "Here, I saved it before I...well you know." I looked at it, and back at Chaz. "What about you? What are you going to do now that you don't have a deck, we're going to leave for Duel Academy in a week, can you make a deck in time?"
"I-I'll find a way..." he lied. You know, after turning into a girl, I found out about a lot of things. One is that girls have it tough every month. Two, girls have their own personal lie detector. So when Chaz lied, I knew that Chaz was lying the moment he hesitated with the word "I'll".
So instead of taking the card I sat next to Chaz and closed his hands around the card. "Well, there's your first card. Thirty-nine more to go I guess..." he snapped his head over to my direction, "Y-Your giving him to me?"
"I'm never good with rare cards, and this was the only time I probably had the chance to use it. Besides, I don't think I'll have another shot at summoning it."
"B-But it's one of the rarest cards in the world, and your just giving it to me?"
"Would you rather let me give to someone else?" He pulled the card away from me. The spectacle made me laugh."I thought so..." gently, I plucked the card from his hand and placed it inside his deck case. "I think you'll use this card more better than me." Chazz looked at the box and gently smiled.
"Do me a favor though," I stretched my arms out as the smell of heavy ink fill the air. "Don't be a cocky bastard like you were back in the dorm." The youngest Princeton sibling grinned. "Can't promise you that teacher..."
"Speaking about teaching..." I motioned over to Sarai. "Chazz, this is Sarai, my first student. Sarai, this is Chazz."
"How do you do?" Chazz looked at the rather pretty looking girl and smiled as well. "It's finally nice to see Ms. Chung's first student. I heard that you beat Ms. Chung in a duel."
"Just barely." She confessed, "I mean I still can't believe I beat Ms. Chung, you know?"
"Ok, one last favor from the two of you." My adorable little pupils turned their head to me as I gave them a tired and a stressed out look. With a finalized sigh I told them my request.
"Just call me Julia."
