Day 2
It was a beautiful day at Academy Island. The sun was shining, the sky was clear and it seemed likely to continue like this for the rest of the day. Looking inside the school itself, classes were going on as usual. In one of the rooms, I was in front of a class with some of the students, of all three dorms, that decided to suck it up and take my class. I watched, with a sadistic smirk, the agony and the torture of my favorite pastime.
Watching them fail my pop-quiz.
"You guys have two minutes left."
"GOD DAMN IT!" Jenny screamed as she rushed through the test, everyone else was trying to keep at their own pace, but I could tell they were nervous as a virgin about to lose his virginity, in a not-so-good way. It felt good being a teacher and not worry about all of this. Best thing is, scantron, so I don't have to waste hours to grade this when I can just scan it and see if they got the answer right or wrong.
It feels pretty damn good being on top of everything -
ZZZZZZzzzzzzz
...ok, what the fuck? My eyebrows twitched as I looked at the source of the noise. I didn't have to wait for long as my blazing eyes caught red. Sarai Densky and Syrus Truesdale tried to wake up the Osiris Red that dared to sleep in my class. Worse of all, he didn't even bother to even start the test.
I did what any teacher would do at this time. Rage.
Shit just got real when I pulled out a speaker. Sarai's eyes widened as she covered her ears. Syrus, being the wise in this time of situation, closed his ears as well as I walked over to Jaden. Pressing on the switch of the microphone, I blew on a bit as everyone else finally saw what I was going to do. The Osiris', except for Jaden, was the first to start it off as the Obelisks followed their cue then the Ras.
As everyone prepared themselves for the worse, except for the Osiris that I was going to blow his eardrums out, I placed the microphone right in his ears. With a deep breath, I screamed:
"JADEN YUKI, WAKE THE FUCK UP!"
"Gah!" Jaden fell on the ground as the E-HERO duelist twitched from the assault. "TRYING TO SLEEP IN MY CLASS! CROWLER AND BANNER ALLOWS YOU TO SLEEP IN THEIR CLASS, SO YOU THINK I'LL LET YOU SLEEP? YOU LAZY FUCKTARD!" He gasped as the teen sudden became deaf, temporarily - it'll take more than just screaming to actually destroy someone's sense of hearing -. I turned the microphone off as everyone took the cue to finally take their hands off their ears.
Jaden, slightly dazed, slowly got off the ground as I pulled his ears. Yelping in pain, I threw him back to his seat, and slammed a pencil right in front of him. "Start filling out answers, or I'll kick you out of here faster than you say that stupid catchphrase of yours." that instantly gained his attention as the Osiris instantly picked up the pencil and, quickly, filled out the answers.
"As for the rest of you," I looked at the time, "You guys got about thirty seconds, wrap it up!" They instantly got back to work. I glared down at Jaden, who wasn't even half way down to the test.
"You too, young man."
"But I barely started!" He exclaimed as I tapped my watch. "I'm sorry, whose fault is it again that fell asleep in my class?" Jaden, not wanting to make his situation worse, got back to work. With a stern nod I walked up back to my seat, counting down for their impending doom.
Fifteen seconds left on the clock.
"Almost done..." Jaden rushed through as everyone else placed their pencils on the table.
Five seconds.
"Just one more..."
Times up.
"Drop the pencil, and turn in whatever you finished." Everyone, including the exhausted Jaden Yuki, threw their tests into the open tray and went back to their seats as I began to grade their quizzes. It didn't even take a few minutes.
"Out of the seventeen in my class," I threw them all into the shredder. "None of you even manage to get over a seventy percent."
And that included the students that I tutored, which is seriously disturbing me.
Of course, being the cold-hearted bitch I am, I ignored a student crying about the test that he failed. "Well, don't worry about it too much, that test was to just show me where you guys are, skill-wise." I turned to Jaden, "Surprisingly, you managed to get a fifty-four, that's the tenth highest overall in this class." Jaden chuckled while everyone else looked at the Osiris sheepishly.
"I don't know if its dumb-luck or you actually knowing the material, but congrats on being one of the top ten of the class." My glare hardened, "But don't think that it'll get easier from here on out, because its won't." I warned, "Also, take a lesson from this..."
I pointed at the bell as it began to ring. "If you ever sleep in my class again, you'll stay behind and write me up a five thousand word essay on how you will never slack in my class again, understand?" Jaden's eyes widened in shock at sound of the sheer amount of words that he has to write.
"Alright, tomorrow I want you to prep up your deck before you come to my class understand? We're going to have a mock duel amongst each other. Understood?" I barked before leaving my class for the next professor to take over.
NOW ENTERING THIRD PERSON POV
"Ah man, and here I thought that Crowler was harsh..." Syrus murmured as Jaden tiredly nodded his head. "Yeah, you said it." The E-Hero duelist replied as he groaned. "Jeez, she's more mean than Crowler..."
"Oh I wouldn't push it that far." The third of the Osiris boys replied with a smile. He was rather massive for a freshman in Duel Academy, but unlike most students here, he was wearing something more different from most other Osiris students. Instead of the usual bright red, this one was wearing a different colored jacket, a version whose main color is white instead of red. What made him even more unusual than most of the students was his uncanny resemblance of a Koala. "I'd say Crowler is more vicious for guys who are just lazying around in his class."
"Good point, he chewed me out for not giving a concise answer for what a field spell card is." Syrus moaned.
"Don't even mention that, he chewed me out for being cocky into thinking that I actually beat him in a duel." Jaden shook his head. He vividly remember how he tried to get Sy's back, only for it to backfire when Crowler stiffly told him that someone, with his ability in dueling, wouldn't consider going all out on a greenhorn duelist, especially an applicant like Jaden.
"Seriously? Crowler?" Sarai blinked, in all honestly she thought the man was rather fair and kind to all the students. Then again, his level of strictness and teaching is almost as equals to Ms. Chung's lessons, she really can't blame them for thinking Crowler as someone quite intimidating. Then again, Syrus did deserve that verbal beat down for not knowing what a field spell is.
Even a five-year old knows what a field spell is.
"Just shows how Duel Academy is one of the best." The larger student said with a smile. Sarai looked at him, with a rather bemused expression on her face (remember people: Bemusement means to act confused, not to act amused). "Chumley, you've been here the longest, why are you still a Osiris' Red?"
Chumley blushed, "Well, actually I decided to stay here in this dorm." That made them blink.
"Y-You actually wanted to stay in Osiris?" Chumley nodded, "Uh-huh, and it's all thanks to Dr. Chung -"
"Wait, Dr. Chung bullied you to stay in Osiris?"
The koala-faced duelist shook his head frantically. "It's not like that! See, here's the thing..." Chumley began, "I used to act like everyone else, try to get into Obelisk so I wouldn't be looked down by my family as a shame. My dad was a pro-duelist so I had a big standard to keep myself in."
"It was rough you know?" Chumley frowned. "Since I was a Osiris, no one except for Banner and Dr. Hibiki would take me seriously. I always got teases and I always lost my duels..."
"...then Dr. Chung came along." Chumley's grin widened. "She didn't care what class I was in, she didn't care what dorm I stayed in or what kind of shampoo I use to keep my hair like this. She was the first, apart from the guys in the Osiris dorm, to treat me equally. She actually cared and stayed ten to twenty minutes behind to make sure I did everything right."
Syrus looked rather confused, "So...what does this have to do with Dr. Chung making you stay in Osiris?"
"It was a plan." Chumley explained, "She told me 'why don't you stay in Osiris, so you can shoot those damn prejudices out of their head', at first I didn't like it, but when other guys from Ra and even a few Obelisk came to me and asked for my help I got what Dr. Chung was getting at."
"Getting at what?"
Oh Syrus, why can't you be like Season Three and not be dense?
"It doesn't matter what dorm you're in, as long as your having a good year and succeeding, you'll be respected. Crowler noticed it too and he started to treat me more nice than most other students."
"That definitively sounds like Ms. Chung's M.O." Sarai imputed.
"Of course it is." Chazz was sitting on their desk, his eyes on the empty desk that the Ra Headmistress was sitting at. "She was never a big fan of the hierarchy system here."
"Never a big fan is an underestimate," Jenny called up from the top, "She absolutely freaking hate it when people try to assume control because they're 'more advance' than the others!"
"Now we know how you two got along so well." Haleigh non-sequitered from the main topic of discussion as her emotionless eyes gazed over at Jenny, "You two are a carbon copy of one another, are you sure you two aren't like sisters or something?"
"Haleigh," Sasha began with a sweat drop, "What does that have to do with our current discussion?" The psychic -
"Fourth-Wall breaker is more recommended than a psychic."
...you're talking to me?
"Yes, I'm talking to you Mr. Narrator."
...how?
"Muffin Button."
What -
"Calm yo tits."
Buh -
"Calm yo Korean-American tits."
"Haleigh, who are you talking to?" Kia whispered, somewhat worriedly as Haleigh looked at the dark-skinned girl with a blink. "I'm talking to the Narrator of the story, whose doing a terrible job of writing this story."
W-What? HOW THE HELL AM I WRITING THIS STORY TERRIBLY!
"Your grammar."
...that's why I have a beta-reader.
"Where was she for the last few hundred chapters that you wrote for all those other YuGiOh GX story that you deleted -"
"Haleigh." Chazz cut her off, "We're on planet Earth, not on Haleighverse."
"Haleighverse?" Melody asked as she and Bastion walked over to their side. "When was there a universe sorely about Haleigh?" This time, Chazz scoffed. "Since the day she opened her mouth, it's like she's talking a different language. She gets what we're doing but in all honesty, what in the blue monkey hell is she yammering about the Narrator and stuff."
"I have you know, our very lives and existence are now, at this very moment, being dictated by an Asian guy going to college who just gained five pounds because he's working on this story."
Everyone stared at the blond, wondering just what in the hell she was implying. Finally Bastion broke the ever long silence with his ever-so British accent. "Well then, let's hope that this Asian writer will lose that five pounds."
"Otherwise, he'll be grumpy and rage on us." Melody said dramatically as everyone around began to laugh. Alexis soon joined in the mirth as she as well as the other Obelisks couldn't help but to joke around with the chibi-blond.
By the time Professor Sartyr came into the class, the students were talking about what dorm served the best food. Never had Professor Sartyr felt so proud of his Ra's when they mentioned how his food were better than their own mother's cooking. Of course the ideal view of all three dorm unifying together was also good, but he cared more about his cooking being appreciated in his dorm.
He was even more proud when his Ra introduced him to their friends.
Back to First Person POV
I gratefully took a bite of meatloaf, having been too busy to grab lunch earlier. I absolutely hated paperwork and I was up to my teeth in it. Not only that, but three dumbass students had gotten a little too rambunctious the previous night, leaving me to discipline the three men.
"You too, huh?" Fonda asked. I looked up to see that the nurse was also armed with a tray of food.
"You've been monitoring things in your dorm, right?" I asked. The Headmistress of the Girl's Dorm nodded.
"Things are seeming to go well so far," She answered, taking a bite of lunch. "Alison took over my shift while I grab something to eat."
Fonda focused her attention back to her own meal as I practically inhaled the damn meatloaf, god Sartyr can cook. I'm seriously going to get that man a damn Christmas gift when December comes along.
"What do you think the Headmaster has Crowler doing?" Fonda suddenly asked. "I mean, have you seen him anywhere else apart from his class and at the Headmaster's office?" she continued. I shrugged my shoulders. "You know Crowler," I answered. "He's probably sending the Osiris to the Headmaster's office so that they can contact their parents about the crappy ass score they're getting in their classes. I mean, if Sheppard isn't going to make them tell their parent then Crowler is. Hell, I bet Crowler can give Sheppard a run for his money if they held an intimidation contest with one and another."
The two of us looked at each other, snickered, and were soon pounding the table and laughing. To stay in character, I was the on that was pounding the table while Fonda was laughing out loud...well actually we we're both laughing out loud, but you get the point.
"Seriously though," Fonda cut off, wiping tears from her eyes. "He never does parents consultation."
I frowned. It was unusual. It was even more unusual that Sheppard wouldn't tell either anyone else. "I don't know," I replied. "I don't know why Sheppard's keeping us out of the loop either."
"Whatever it is, it's tiring him out," Fonda continued. "He looked completely exhausted this morning. I mean, before his class, he would come to my office and would put an IV into his arm so that he could function through the day. Complaining how his students are being 'rabble-rousers' and 'delinquents'."
"An I.V.? Really?" I asked dryly. Fonda was nodding her head, "And get this, the students, from Crowler's class, sent to Chancellor Sheppard's office? All of them are ridiculously attractive! Some boys, but most of them are girls!" I shook my head while I sipped on my iced tea and devoured a roll. I left and returned with a second helping of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and apple pie.
Fonda saw that I had also brought back a newspaper. I scanned the cover as Fonda curiously glanced over. "The Board of IDN are talking about the mass black-listing at each Dueling Academy for unregistered cards, and vigilante actions; they're also talking about the moral ethics of black-listing students and applicants." I read one of the article titles out loud while I sorted through my apple pie.
"Black-listing problem my ass," Fonda muttered. "There wouldn't be a problem if we'd let them be, what's the point of going to a school if you don't learn from your mistakes?" I looked at her in surprise.
"Most of them, probably," I agreed. "But that doesn't do away with the fact that these students did break the rules for not just school regulations but dueling in general. What about the people who came here fair and square?"
"There's always people like that coming to this school," Fonda said, "It doesn't matter what group."
"Yeah, but we can at least try to keep those people from cheating at least," I pointed out, remembering one particular duel back at the beginning of the year. "We should at least know which of the students are cheating or not, so we can weed them out..."
I trailed off when I noticed Fonda was staring at me as if I had grown two heads.
"You…you support the blacklist?" she asked, her voice somewhat disgusted. I, for my part, was surprise that the other woman didn't seem to agree with me.
"I'm not saying that we shouldn't send everyone to the black list," I replied. "I think this is what we need to put these misfits in place, they won't dare to cause havoc while the black list is still in place. In the United States, people are required to register and have permits to own guns. If they violate the law then they're punished by being black-listed from ever licensing for...well anything. What's wrong black listing those that are causing chaos and creating massive of budget cuts because of these idiots?"
"What's wrong?" Fonda asked, beginning to lose her temper. "Its a violation of their constitutional rights! Why should they have to register into the black-list as if they were criminals?"
"That's not what I'm saying," I answered, growing annoyed. "Besides, people can mark whether they're Caucasian, African-American, or Asian on government forms. What's the difference if…"
"Can," She pointed out sharply. "People have a choice if they decide to put a check next to their group. If there's a government list on who's a black-list, how long will it be before they're discriminated and treated unfairly?"
"It wouldn't," I replied back angrily, "It's just putting those assholes in their place -"
"Bull shit," Fonda answered. "Maybe we should start having them wear a 'B-L' on their sleeve. That's what the Nazis did, except it was the Star of David."
By now, both friends were openly glaring at each other.
"I'm not prejudiced against anyone," I said stiffly. "I'm just more harsh to those that cheat, that bullies, and disobey rules that the founder of the school set in place and not to those that honorably duel around the world."
"Could have fooled me, I mean, what other country does that? Where they say that their not prejudiced towards anyone but they are?" the other woman replied angrily, close to losing her temper. I finally lost mine and banged my fist on the table. Why wouldn't this dumbass nurse understand?
"You better not be talking shit on America!" I yelled. Several heads in the mess hall turned to stare at them.
"You mean the same country that committed genocide against Native Americans, permitted slavery, withheld civil rights from women and minorities, and imprisoned Japanese Americans in internment camps?" Fonda answered dryly. "They might be pro-freedom, choice, and equality Julia, but they don't have the greatest track record."
"Then what are you standing for?" I demanded. "If you don't believe that…"
"Black-list registration is a direct violation of their civil rights!" she cuts me off, her voice rising. "You're an American, you should have realized that; or do you seriously think that Martin Luther King Jr. would agree with you?"
That was a low blow.
The mess hall was eerily quiet as the two of us continued to glare angrily at one another. Finally, Fonda's pager went off as she quickly glanced at it before picking up her empty tray and sent me one last glare.
"Nice talking to you," she muttered, trying and failing to keep her voice civil. I responded only with a frown.
As Fonda headed back up to the infirmary, I glowered silently at what remained of my lunch... Silently apologizing to Sartyr, I pushed the tray away, having lost my appetite.
Now We're Hopping Back To Third Person POV
Osiris Red dorms. 4:00 pm. Week after the fight.
It was raining. Kind of fits the mood for the rather depressed Ra Headmistress. Rumors had spread around quickly about her little spat with Fonda. Some were pro Fonda and others were pro Julia, the issue was rather split. Also Julia is still pissed off from the earlier discussion, so there really was one option left for her to do at a time like this. Whine and bitch to Midori through the week, the queen of therapy.
But enough about that. In the Osiris Red cafeteria, even if it wasn't raining, warmth was a luxury. Thankfully, Professor Hibiki had learned about the conditions of the place in advance and were kind enough to bring a heater from their own home to the cafeteria. This made the usual stressed eating conditions just a little easier.
Of course, it didn't do squat for the bite-sized three-course meal. Today's lunch: Ham and cheese sandwiches and kosher pickles.
Yay.
Sarai and Jaden were probably the only ones who shared Chumley's eating habits of devouring anything that looked edible.
"Someone hand me the salt!" Sarai exclaimed with a full mouth.
"And get me some more pickles!" Chumley demanded, stopping for a swig of bottled water.
"I'm ready for thirds!" Jaden said happily, raising his plate for the second time.
"Geez," Syrus said while enjoying his lunch quietly. "You guys are bottomless pits, I swear." It was after that comment that everyone heard a thumping noise on the door. "I got it!" Everyone watched as Sarai jumped out of her seat, ran to the door and opened it...and screamed.
On the other side was someone or something covered head to foot in mud. This, of course, scared the life out of Jaden and the rest of the Osiris.
"MUD MONSTER!" Everyone screamed yelled.
"OH GOD!"
"It's hideous!"
"It's a monster spirit that's going to take our virginity away! OH GOD WHY!" Sarai wailed while the said monster looked rather embarrassed. "Guys, I'm not a monster." The mud creäture wiped a chunk of mud off its face as a pair of light-brown eyes broke through the mud.
"M…Melody?" The people who knew the Dark-Magician Girl look-alike eyes widened comically.
"Ms. Hikari?" Professor Banner's reading glasses actually slipped off his face as he placed his book down. Midori was already two-steps ahead, the Osiris Headmistress brought a warm towel and helped the girl wipe the mud off of her head. Sure enough, with the help of Midori, Melody wiped off more mud from her face, making her identity a little more visible.
"Since when do you play in the mud, Mel?" Sarai asked in a sad attempt at cheering the girl up. "I wasn't playing, Sarai," Melody said quietly. The poor girl looked like she was about to cry. "I..."
"What's going on?" Everyone turned as Dr. Chung looked at Melody with bewilderment. That did it, Melody fell on her knees and began to cry. "M-Ms. Chung, t-they did it..."
"Did what?"
"M-My deck...Ms Chung, my deck, i-its gone..."
Hours Earlier Before
A storm was brewing outside. Melody finally had her things unpacked and arranged in her dorm room just the way she wanted it. It truly felt like home away from home.
"Ah, this is nice," The Dark-Magician Girl look-alike said with a smile. "I can see why most of the girls loves this place so much. This place is like one of those hotel rooms that me and my family stay in!" The girl exclaimed as she leaped on her bed. "If this is the bed in Ra, I can't wait until I get promoted into Obelisk..."
Melody was about to snooze away when someone knocked on her door. "Coming!"
Melody didn't even have time to react when she opened the door...and a bat smacked on top of her head...dazed, Melody could only watch as three blue figures rummaged through her things, only to take out...her deck.
"N-No...give that back..."
She blacked out with another hit to the head.
Back to the Present
"...and t-thats all I could remember..." She sniffed, "W-when I came to, I found myself lying in a puddle of mud and m-my deck went missing. I-I tried to get back into my room, but my keys were gone and-"
"Melody," Ms. Chung cut her off, "I promise you I'll definitively get on this case, but now you need to lay downs somewhere." The Ra Headmistress ordered. "It's a miracle you even made it here with a mild concussion."
"O-Ok..." Melody answered softly as she looked around, "U-Um...can I use the showers here? Also, c-could I use someone's soap?"
Nearly every girl's expression soon changed to disgust as Jaden and most other male Osiris stared at each other, as though wondering what this thing called "soap" was. Banner was the only guy who looked quite embarrassed with the situation, and did himself a favor to leave the room.
"Why don't you use my shower?" Midori offered as Banner returned with some shampoo products, "We have plenty of herbal soap to spare, unfortunately, because of...well..."
Banner didn't have to say anything else.
Melody, of course, was having a hard time keeping eye contact with the two teachers. "Do you mean that, Professor Hibiki? Professor Banner?"
"Of course," Midori smiled warmly, "As long as you clean up my bathroom when you're done." Banner snapped his finger. "Oh, and leave your blazer outside. I'll have it washed and fixed for you in a little while." The male Headmaster offered as Melody sighed in relief.
"Thank you professor." The Dark-Magician Girl began to take off her jacket. She had a bit of difficulty getting out of her muddy coat, mainly because there was a small branch jammed in some places of her blazer. Regardless, she let her uniform fall on the floor with a sickening "plop", rid of her Ra blazer Melody has on a black top and a booty short. Melody headed downstairs to Professor Hibiki's room with some of Professor Banner's shampoo product.
Professor Banner let out a sigh as he picked up Melody's uniform, not even caring that he's getting mud on his clothes. And it was clear that most of the Osiris boys didn't care either.
Well at least Banner and the boys shared some thing in common.
"What now?" Midori asked as Banner left the room to work on Melody's uniform. "Before we have to file a report on an assault made by three Obelisk Blue teens," Julia started off, "first we find these said three Obelisk blue teen and beat the living shit out of them. Simple as that."
"Simple as that?" The Headmistress of Osiris repeated, baffled at how Julia could say it so easily. "Julia, there's probably a hundred Obelisk Blues on this island, don't tell me your going to question them?"
"No," The gender-blending professor replied, "But I know who can."
o0O0o
If there was one thing that Chazz enjoyed more than dueling - or money, which is debatable - it's to express his artistic side. The dark-haired teen found himself painting on his blank canvas that the Obelisk had stored in the back storage room. There were a hundred of them, and none of which aren't used until later, so why not just take some and make use of them?
Today is a good day for him. Nothing bad was going to happen, especially since Dr. Chung or Ms. Chung didn't explode today either -
"Chazz! Ms. Chung is looking for you," one of the Obelisk goons called out, "And she looks pissed!"
Chazz paused, before placing his brush down with his palette and coughed. "I-I'm sick, I-I can't help as much as I want to -" He coughed louder and smirked, well looks like Ms. Chung will have to leave him alone. There's no way she'll disturb someone whose sick-
"Chazz, I'm both respecting your privacy by knocking, but asserting my authority as your teacher by coming in any way!"
BAM! The door forcefully unhinged itself off its frame and lo-behold, a pissed off Ms. Chung stood with a battery-ram.
"Chazz, stop bullshitting and get your rich-ass out of here."
And Chazz had wished Ms. Chung didn't break down his door like that.
"What's going on?" He asked as Ms. Chung began to explain. "Three Obelisk Blues stole a girl's deck. I don't give a rat's ass what their reasons are, no one steals my girl's deck."
"How do you know it's one of our guys?" Ms. Chung glared at the open space in front of them. "The girl, who had her deck stolen, gave me a vague description of three male students that were wearing blue colored jackets. I don't know about you, but blue jackets sounds like they're from the Obelisk Dorm."
"So...why me?"
The professor smirked, "Your going to do what you do best. Infiltration."
If there was one thing that Chazz enjoyed more than dueling, money - which is debatable - or even painting, it's being a spy.
And boy was he good at it.
o0O0o
After drying herself off and putting on some casual clothes that Sarai loaned her (a yellow hoodie and gray sweat pants), Melody made her way back up to the Osiris cafeteria/mess hall. Lunch was over now and Professor Midori had some paperwork to take care of (Banner specifically stated that he would handle the dirty blazer because it's his innate ability to clean off anything dirty in just matter of seconds). But a bunch of the students haven't left the cafeteria yet and were having a very heated discussion. Jenny and a few Obelisk girls came by and joined in the discussion. Sasha was holding Ace in her arms as the students debated among themselves.
"Now, look," Jaden stated, "I know we haven't been on the best terms with the Obelisks since, like…ever. But this is just not right! I mean, Melody isn't even an Osiris! Why'd they have to toss her in the mud and take all her cards?"
"What's worse is that we're getting the blunt force in all this." Haleigh murmured.
"Obelisks are no good jerks..." Kia vocalized, "Obelisks are a bunch of bullies, I bet Obelisks can't even wipe their own butts clean."
"Man, and here I thought Osiris get the bad reps around." Jenny muttered. "And Obelisk's rep is only going to get worse when the school finds out that Melody got her deck jacked by the Obelisk dorm."
"What are you guys talking about?" The Dark Magician Girl look-a-like asked. Jaden nearly jumped out of his seat when Melody spoke up, before falling flat on the ground, failing to regain his balance. Only Jenny seemed to find that hilarious as she began to laugh hysterically.
"Uh…" Syrus scratched his head for a second before Sarai answered. "Who the heck would take your cards, and leave you out there like that?"
"Oh…that." Melody lowered his head. "I-I don't know, I really don't...maybe this was a bad idea, to involve you in all this -"
"Mel," Sarai spoke up, "you're like my best friend, I mean sure we only seen each other like a week, but still! I'm gonna worry about you whether you want me to or not. And Jaden feels the same way, right Jay?"
"You bet I do!" Jaden exclaimed with his usual huff. "Anyway, we've gotta think of a way to get Melody's cards back and get back at those Obelisk jerks!" Jaden pounded his fist on the lunch table. "They deserve at least that much!"
While the other Osiris students burst into chatter, a familiar pair of evil smiles unrolled themselves on Jenny's face. "Get back at those Obelisks, huh?" Jenny began as she magically pulled out pen and paper from god knows where.
"If it's pranks you want," Jenny said, cracking her fingers as she hastily wrote down all her devious little plots on the sheet of paper, "it's pranks they'll get!"
But she can't get herself involved...
"Jaden? How would you like to help a maiden in need?"
Oh she's evil...
o0O0o
The Next Day...
Why me? Jaden thought to himself.
The plan was simple: get in, steal those Obelisks' uniforms (and Sy's cards, if he could find them), and get out. What would happen to the uniforms was up to Jenny. Jaden managed to infiltrate the Obelisk Blue dorm by wearing one of the spare Obelisk coat that the girls managed to get. But that wasn't enough. He had to wrap up his hair with a white bandanna provided by Kia and his eyes were hidden by a pair of round sunglasses provided by Sarai. The important thing Jaden had to remember was to stay casual.
Of course Jaden, being who he is, was anything but casual.
A little ways into the Blue Dorm, Jaden saw another Obelisk student heading his way and had to duck behind a nearby wall. He took out his PDA and started to enter something.
I'm inside the Obelisk Dorm. I'm feeling a bit shaken and the jacket's making me chafe.
Jaden waited a bit before he received a reply from Jenny on his PDA.
Suck it up. You know what to do. And by the way, stay calm at all times.
Jaden smiled sheepishly. Come on, guys. You know me!
Stop screwing around and get in there!
Jaden pocketed his PDA without another reply. He continued his trek down the path to the boys' living quarters. He suddenly stiffened up when he saw Torimaki and Mototani heading his way, but kept walking right between them nonetheless. He nearly got his glasses knocked off when Mototani bumped into him, but Jaden barely managed to keep his disguise in order.
"That look odd to you?" Torimaki asked.
"Nope," Mototani answered.
"You know what they got for lunch?"
"I heard it was roast beef or something like that."
Jaden wiped his brow as soon as they were out of sight. "Whew…that was close…And how come they get roast beef?"
"Excuse me." Jaden suddenly tensed up and turned around slowly when he felt someone touch his shoulder. Turning around, Jaden's eyes widen when his two eyes met with Dr. Crowler's penetrating blue eyes.
"D-Dr. Crowler…" Jaden stopped to clear his throat. "C-Can I help you with something?"
"What are you doing, Mr. Yuki?"
His sunglasses seemed to slip right off of his face and his brown eyes twitched in embarrassment. "How did you know it was me?" Jaden whispered.
"Your disguise was pathetic," Crowler answered bluntly. "Did you think that just because you can easily fool my students, that I would be the same? Besides, the jacket is too small for you. It would be better suited for someone smaller, say, Syrus Truesdale?"
"Busted..."
"The action, of simply sneaking into our dorm, is something not to joke about, young man." Crowler sighs, "However, I did hear about the incident last night," Dr. Crowler explained. "That action was very deplorable, and something that none of my Obelisks should ever display." Jaden's eyes widened.
"So what do you plan to do? Get some payback for the boy somehow?"
"Uh…no! Of course not, sir!" Jaden said with a little laugh. "That would just be weird!"
"You shouldn't lie to me, Mr. Yuki," Crowler snapped, backing Jaden against the door. Despite his odd appearance, he was definitively sterner than Ms. Chung when needed. "Whatever you're planning…"
"You can't tell anyone about this! About any of this!" Jaden said out of sudden impulse. "If anything, you should punish those guys for stealing a girl's deck! And throwing her out in the rain!"
"Actually," Crowler began, "I was going to provide you some assistance with your quest of revenge."
That made Jaden pause.
"Huh?"
o0O0o
In the Obelisk's Mess Hall
"So like," Toromaki began, "What do you think she'll do with those cards?"
"Like hell I know." Mototani muttered as the two feasted on their roast beef. "If anything we should worry about what we should do when the faculty finds out that we're the one that did the dirty work and not the girl."
"Feh." The larger boy snorted, "As if they can do anything to us. I mean, Mitchi even turned off all security surveillance, so what chances do we have of getting caught."
"Actually, it's pretty high." The two paused and slowly turned around with Chazz sitting down on the bench next to them, throwing a small device up and down in his left hand. The two Obelisks stared at the teen as the pompous rich-kid continued with his mini-taunt.
"W-What are you talking about Chazz."
"Yeah Chazz, there's no way that we're going to get caught -"
"- there's no way we're going to get caught - " Toromaki stopped when his voice echoed from the device. "Duel Academy's security is top-notch because we're financially supported by the Kaiba Corporation. If you bothered with economics, Kaiba Corporation not only is one of the more advance technological research facility in the world, but it's also one of the most heavily secured company in the world."
"My second eldest brother is in partnership with Kaiba Corp. Therefore I know all the tricks and sleeves of their security. One of the things I know is that Kaiba Corp loves to use tenth of their security as decoy and the other ninety percent to catch them. What your friend turned off was the basic security. What you don't realize is that every single dorm room has three miniscule voice recorders bugged in every room, recording every single voices 24/7."
"So say that there was, oh I don't know, a robbery." Chazz pressed the rewind button and the two listened to rapid gibberish being emitted from the device before Chazz pressed it to a stop. "We can just rewind the tape to that exact date and time," His fingers pressed the green arrow, "and simply listen to the recording."
"- find her deck!" Toromaki and Mototani paled at the sound of furnitures being overturned and feet quickly shuffling through. In seconds they heard another voice yelling out that he found the deck. "What should we do with her?"
"Willowe didn't say anything about her, just leave her there -"
Chazz stopped the recording. "Not only that, but each room is constantly bugged and sweep every single week. While we're in class, the DAS would sweep the room, debug, then bug the room again so that no one can exactly pinpoint where the cameras or the voice recorders are." The dark-haired Obelisk pocketed the device in his pant. "Unfortunately for you two, Mitchi forgot to turn off the audio for the decoy cameras. So what you just heard was the decoy cameras picking up all of your nasty little secrets."
"I-If that's the case then you can't -"
"Oh right I forgot to mention, your PDA? They're encrypted with a voice recorder, and the data is immediately sent into the DAS mainframe. So let's say we need to find suspects for this crime. All we need to do is match up with the audio from the recorders in the school and with the voices that the PDA is able to get from its owner and we found a match."
Toromaki and Mototani glanced at each other, before the two got up and cornered Chazz, side by side.
"Give us that tape, now." the one on the left threatened. Chazz smirked. "Why should I?"
"If you don't, then you're not going to get out of here in tact." The dark-haired teen hummed.
"I think I'll take my chances."
o0O0o
Back with Jaden and Crowler
"Uh, come again?"
"One," Dr. Crowler began, holding up his index finger, "I may favor my Obelisks, however I do not favor bullying because they're in Obelisk Blue; it ruins our reputation as one of the more sophisticated and most advance dorm of the two. Two (two fingers), those two or three don't belong in the Obelisk Blue in the first place; their parent used their influences on the board to push their children into these dorm. Finally three (three fingers), and to put it bluntly, they had it coming."
Jaden blinked. "Huh? You got a grudge against those guys?"
"You could say that," Dr. Crowler continued. "It seems they are quite notorious for pulling horrible stunts. Surely you know…"
"About the P.A. incident?" Jaden spoke up, seemingly out of nowhere. This, of course, was about a time in Jaden's first day when "someone" snuck into the Chancellor's Office and blew a rather loud raspberry into the P.A. Jaden specifically remembered laughing so hard, he actually fell off his chair. "I was wondering who that was... How do you know about that?"
"I've heard about it from your friend, Alexis Rhodes," He continued. "But it hasn't stopped there. I…actually caught one of them comment about how they stole Alexis' panty." This comment caused Jaden to crash to the floor.
"They took her underwear?!" Jaden shouted, immediately covering his mouth afterward. But it was too late. Across the hall, something boomed loudly as the Osiris began to panic.
"Oh man!" Jaden concatenated in hysteria. "I gotta hide somewhere!"
"In here. Quick!" Dr. Crolwer opened the door behind Jaden, pushed him in, and slammed it behind him. And only seconds after, Dr. Crowler glanced around that exact hall for the noise.
"Hmph." Dr. Crowler scowled before entering in the room. "Blasted air vents, I told Sheppard that we needed to fix those. Are you alright, young man?" After being dragged into the room so roughly, however, Jaden had fallen on the floor with his butt in the air and his head under someone's bed. He pulled his head out and somehow found a card lodged into his bandanna.
"Ah…" Jaden took the card out and looked at it. "It's Summoner Monk! This is probably one of Melody's cards!"
"I thought they'd be in here," The doctor agreed as he looked around the room. "We're in Mitchi's room."
The room looked a lot messier than Sarai's room or even the Osiris dorm. Clothes were strewn about, as well as various books, Duel Monsters cards, and some sort of handheld gaming system. However, Jaden wasn't paying attention to this. He was still searching under the bed, procuring more cards.
"The Unhappy Maiden, Magical Exemplar, Spell Absorption, Polymerization..." Jaden listed off as he continue to pull out cards after cards. Pulling out his PDA he examined each cards and frowned. "There's some cards missing here."
"The other two must have them," Crowler suggested. "Odds are they might even have it in one of their decks. They must've taken out the rarest cards in the girl's deck."
Jaden clenched his fist and punched the floor. "I can't believe those guys! I can't let them get away with this!"
"They won't, I assure you that young man." Dr. Crowler pulled out his PDA and took a picture of the scene, "With this evidence, they can kiss Duel Academy good-bye forever." Jaden blinked.
"Forever?"
"Of course, using this as evidence to decide their fates, chances are their names are going in the black-list and forever be banned from this or any of our sister schools."
"Black-list? You mean the thing that Ms. Chung and Ms. Fontaine is talking about?" Crowler sighed, "You have to understand Jaden that not everyone agrees with the system. However it does give us the power to make sure that students don't pull stunts like this."
Jaden paused, "I can see where you're coming from, but this is wrong. To just black list someone for doing something isn't right."
"That's exactly what Fonda says, but people like Julia don't tolerate with poor decision makings like how Mr. Torimaki and Mototani decided to steal Ms. Hikari's deck."
"Still, we should have a more diplomatic way to settle it!" At this Crowler smiles, "And that, Mr. Yuki, is why we're here. Although the Black-list exists, there are those like me and Fonda that believe that the students should have the right for an unbiased judging." His smile vanishes. "However, their fates will probably be decided even before they get to go to the Chancellor and explain their actions."
"That's unfair..."
"Nothing's ever fair, take heart to this." Crowler nodded, "Now, let's go look for the other cards."
o0O0o
Toromaki wasn't able to take a step forward to punch Chazz. In a flash, the Obelisk was twitching and convulsing on the ground as Mototani tried to check up on his friend, but was grappled down to the ground by an armored personal.
"DAS! You're under arrest!" Soon a squad of armored soldier rushed into the room with guns and stun guns. One of stun needles, shot by a hidden agent in the room, stung on Toromaki's back, which caused his fall earlier. Although they were in Japan, the DAS were reciting the Miranda's right to the two as Chazz handed the recorder to the chairwoman.
"Now that diplomacy failed, looks like we're going to have to approach in a more...aggressive manner." Chazz kneeled on the ground and stared right at Mototani's face.
"Now, tell me, who is Willowe?"
o0O0o
Back to Jaden and Crowler
"Looks like we got most of them," Jaden counted up the cards. "But I can't seem to find - "
"Mr. Yuki," He stopped and turned to Crowler who was staring at the wastebin that Jaden was carrying around. "Might I ask, what are you going to do with those clothes?"
"Oh, um..." Jaden scratched his head sheepishly. "I actually can't remember what we're going to do with them. Practical Jokes aren't really my kind of things, but Jenny told me to bring their clothes to her." Crowler's brows twitched at the name.
"It's her idea and...Dr. Crowler?" The man sighed as he stared at the Osiris duelist with a frown. "Jenny? As in Ms. McBride?"
"Uh...yeah? You know her?" He rubbed his head. "Let's just say, that we don't have a bathroom thanks to her."
It wasn't fun for Crowler when his and many other's toilet exploded one day without an explanation. However he did hear Julia scream her head off at Jenny who looked somewhat guilty at what the Professor was lecturing about.
Another day was when she switched Pepper and salt with Pop Rocks and grinned Rock Candies. Dear god their foods not only popped in their mouthes, but it was hard to even eat anything for that day.
And don't get him started with the time where she managed to switch all the Obelisk's Blue clothes with Osiris Red Girl's uniform. How humiliating.
"Earth to Dr Crowler!"
The Doctor returned to reality at the sound of Jaden's voice as though just realizing he was there. "My apologies, in any case use the back door when you're done with whatever you needed to do " Crowler simply said as Jaden blinked.
"Wait what -"
"I did what I had to do, I pretend that you were not in front of me as you rob their uniforms and find your friend's deck. If you get caught, I will not 'back you up'. Understand? The enemy of my enemy is my friend." With that Crowler walked off, leaving Jaden rather baffled at the doctor.
"What a weird guy," He murmured but smiled, "Still, he's cool in a way." Jaden commented offhandedly before picking up another blazer from Torimaki's closet when something fell out of his pocket. Curious at what it was, the Osiris bent down and picked up the item and blinked. A PDA? He looked at the content and noticed that there was a message on it. With dexterity that he gained from dueling, he managed to press the play button. In an instant a pretty looking face emerged.
With a swish of her shimmering waterfall of aburn locks, she let out a melodic sigh as she gazed at Jaden with a smile.
Jaden's eyes twitched. Why did he have the urge to gag suddenly?
"Hello, my fellow Obelisks, I need you to do me a favor..."
Jaden's eyes narrowed as the girl blatantly left a message to steal Melody's deck and instruct them to take one specific card and hand it to her; in exchange, she would give them a kiss on the cheek. All this trouble, just for a kiss.
"Idiots." He muttered as he shut the message off, and pocketed the small hand-held device in his pants.
Although he might have some doubts with the black-list, if there's one person that is to be sent there it's this girl.
o0O0o
Jaden quickly arrived back to the Osiris Dorm and slammed the door, waking Syrus and Sarai, who were napping on the dinner table, abruptly. The two groggily rubbed their eyes.
"Is that you, Jaden?"
"Get the others, Sy," Jaden plopped the stolen goods on the floor. "We've got work to do!"
Sarai blinked. "Did you just say 'we've got work to do'?"
That made the E-HERO stop and scratch his head. "I guess I did. That didn't sound right. Anyways call the others! Call Ms. Chung! They're going to want to see this..."
It didn't even take twenty minutes for everyone to come to the Osiris Dorm, Julia was spending the night there, and everyone was examining all the content that Jaden obtained from the male's dormitory. By the end of the video, everyone had a shade of red. Even the usually timid Syrus was looking at the PDA furiously.
"I can't believe her!" Jenny screamed, "How the hell can someone like her even be in our dorm!?"
"Just because her family died by some freak of an accident doesn't mean she can do this!" Kia agreed as Ace barked in Sasha's arm, who was clutching the dog rather tightly.
"Take a card and you get a kiss? Wow what a freaking prostitute." Haleigh vehemently spat out as Midori turned to the stone-faced Banner. "What are we going to do?"
"We do what we must do." Banner simply said, "Call in the DAS - "
"No need for that," The door opened and Chazz walked in expressionless. "They've already apprehended the three and are now interrogating the three for information on Willowe."
"What interrogation?" Chumley demanded, "It's obvious that broad is responsible for taking Melody's deck! I say we get the bitch, now!" The Koala-faced teen stopped however and blushed, "U-Um...sorry professors, but she -"
"No need to apologize Chumley," Midori smiled. "She's not a saint and the things that she did is something we all frown upon."
"Until we get the thumbs up from the DAS to act, we really can't do anything." Ms. Chung further explained to her students. "Sorry Melody, but we need to wait for authorities to act, otherwise we'll be pulling off a crime here."
"I understand." The Dark Magician girl look-alike respected as the Ra Headmistress smirked. "However, that doesn't mean we can't do anything to the other three. Jenny! What's the plan."
Jenny's face brightened up like Christmas. "Well we -"
"Guys!" A british accented teen screamed as the door slammed opened. Everyone looked over to see Bastion, gasping for air. "Bastion!" Everyone called out as Jenny ran over with a bottle of water. Handing it to the Ra student, the English duelist chugged down the content and gasped.
"Jesus Bastion what, in the name of Alexis' cup size, got in your pants?" Sarai joked as Bastion, to his credit, looked up and slowly calmed down.
"It's big news you guys -"
"Well duh," Sasha cut off, "If you breathing hard and not chugging on Jenny's bottle is a sign that it's a big news then I don't know what is -"
"Zane lost!"
"WHAT!?" That piece of news even got Banner to lose his cool. "Are you serious?"
"I'm deadly serious, Zane lost. Badly."
"How bad?" Syrus questioned.
"Remember Kaiba's duel with the masked brothers?"
"With Yugi?" Kia snorts, "It's not that bad then -"
"Kaiba's duel with the masked brothers, first duel, Obelisk on the second turn."
"Oh..." Kia turns to Syrus. "Dude, your brother didn't just lose. Your brother got butt-fucked."
"Kia!" Everyone screamed. Syrus looked downcast at the thought of his brother loosing...terribly.
"It's funny." Bastion continued, "Your brother lost exactly how the brothers did, she sacrificed three monsters before summoning this dragon that defeated him with a direct attack..."
"Match winners." Ms. Chung whispered. "Bastion!" The British teen looked up as Ms. Chung gave him a stern look. "Did you catch her name?"
"Yes," Bastion picked out his PDA and activated the VS Recorder App and checked on the latest duel that just happened. Needless to say, everyone had that feeling to choke out a cat when they heard the name.
"Her name is...Willowe."
Oh, that bitch is going down, hard.
o0O0o
Another week later
It had been a month since Willowe Emerald Crowvile Heineken Aurora Montana-Dew Denashia Wolfhunter the Third had shown up mysteriously in Duel Academy Island, and explained the tragic accident involving ancient magic that had torn her away from her home and her three sequel fodder rebellious younger sisters, and left her stranded in Domino City. It had also been a month since she gained acceptance into Obelisk Blue for her amazing skills in dueling. And it had also been a week since Willowe had come to the public's attention by defeating Zane Truesdale in a public duel.
...hm, something seems oddly wrong with this part of the story.
So naturally all these events are why it just felt like seven years to the poor readers and not just a month.
Willowe sat beside the counter of the Game Shop, watching Syrus and Chumley duel, occasionally leaning over Syrus's shoulder and offering advice. Despite beating Zane, she had lost to Jaden, though only by a margin of fifty life points and one draw. Willowe heaved a sigh from her ample chest and flicked a lock of her ankle length, auburn hair out of her deep violet eyes. The movement caught a certain Kuriboh-head's attention, who had leaned against the wall watching her intently. He stood in the room observing along with Alexis and Bastion, who were playing their usual role of duelling cheerleaders.
...hm, something seems really wrong with this part of the story.
As Syrus was about to attempt a comeback, the door to the Game Shop opened, and one Zane Truesdale strode in, his icy eyes glaring at the gang, and in particular on Willowe, who gave him a warm smile that almost melted the ice around his heart – almost.
...hm, something seems extremely wrong with this scene of the story.
"Wolfhunter," he voiced out weakly.
"Zane?" Willowe asked sweetly.
"I'm here for a rematch," the Kaiser snapped.
This surprised no one, and Wolfhunter heaved another sigh, reaching for her deck in a pink box in the pocket of her short skirt that exposed much of her graceful legs. Before she could remove it however...
"Freeze!" Ms. Chung marched in, following behind her was Chazz and Melody, now in a fresh new uniform, and along with the three were an army of Disciplinary Action Squad. All of them glared at the atrocious girl in front of them as the chairman of the squad stepped forward.
"Who are you!" Willowe demanded, stepping forwards in an attempt to protect everyone should the need arise. The woman held up the identity card.
"Sonya Flames, Chairman of the Disciplinary Action Squad." she recited before pointing at Willowe. "By the power invested under me you, Willowe Emerald Crowvile Heineken Aurora Montana-Dew Denashia Wolfhunter the Third, are under arrest!"
The fact that she managed to get the full name out in one breath was astonishing.
"W-What? But why?" Willowe asked in her lovely honeysuckle tone, however none of that was working on them as two members of the DAS apprehended her. "We're taking you to the Inquiry Board," Sonya explained stiffly, "If you have any questions, you can ask them there."
o0O0o
Willowe, and the other three Obelisk Blue men, exclaimed loudly in shock at what's explained from the eight large screens with the headmasters and mistresses on each other the screens as well as with the Chancellor and the chairman of the DAS.
"Expelled?" they questioned, especially the fear-stricken Willowe.
"Two weeks ago, Willowe Emerald Crowvile Hineken Aurora Montana-Dew Denashia Wolfhunter the Third and her three accomplices planned a heist and robbed Melody Hikari's duel deck at exactly 9:34 AM. Under Article 1, Clause 3 of the Duel Academy Island regulations, any attempt to sabotage a duelist's ability to duel is susceptible to expulsion or, in worse case scenario, be sentenced into the blacklist." Sonya explained. "The investigation has commenced on September XX, and with the evidences that we have gathered, the DAS have decided to send all four to the black-list!"
All four paled, they're caught red-handed and nothing was going to save them. Willowe clasped her hands together. "B-But we didn't even do anything, I swear!" Willowe begged as tears slowly streamed down from her elegant face. "Y-You have to believe us, w-we're b-being set up!"
"Set up?" Julia snorts as she revealed a monster card to the four, the Dark Magician. "If that's the case, then how the hell did this card get into your deck case? A dragon duelist with a Dark Magician seems very bizarre, especially if you don't have any other cards that support it."
"I-I..."
"It would have made sense if you carried Dark Paladin; which not only you don't, but you also don't carry Buster Blader to summon it. Let's also not forget, you don't have the proper summoning conditions to summon. So what's your excuse now?"
But Julia should have known better. They're not just dealing with any ordinary students, they have someone here that can flip the situation in just a second. And her species only have three letters in their title.
"I-It's not fair..." Willowe sniffed, "Y-You're being b-biased against me. B-Biased against all of us because w-we're Obelisks, and Obelisks are known to have a bad reputation..."
The tearfest begins and Sonya was having a bit of doubt that someone like her could have done this heist, or even plan this out.
"I heavily question how we caught them with this amount of evidence." Sonya silently thought, questioning if the voice recording, and with two of the four students confessing their crimes, were enough to really send these four to the black-list. Before Sonya could call off her decision, Professor Fonda responded first.
"Well then, I propose another way to penalize you four," Fonda began. "And that would be a Punishment Duel."
The four blinked. And Ms. Chung furiously glared at the Obelisk Headmistress. Crowler looked rather pained.
"And here we go..." He murmured before Julia exploded with unrestrained fury.
"A Punishment Duel!? Fonda, are you seriously fucking with me now?! The girl in front of us is guilty of conspiracy and the three punk-asses behind her are guilty of second degree robbery! Not only that, but we also have solid evidences of the PDA message left by that girl, with plans of the robbery! We also have footages of one of these students sabotaging the decoy cameras in this school! Are you seriously suggesting a slap on the wrist for these assholes!?"
"It's better than not giving them a chance to redeem themselves. If we were to just send them to the black-list then what sort of image would that bring to us?" Fonda calmly, but pointedly jabbed. "Ms. Wolfhunter, you're companions fate shall rest on your shoulders; for you will duel again Melody Hikari. Should you win, you will then be cleared of all charges."
"R-Really? You mean it?"
"Fonda Fontaine, you bitch!" Julia screamed.
"I know what you're thinking Julia, however I believe all conflicts should end for what we stand for: Duel Monsters. Also, just black-listing a student is wrong and-" without even hearing the rest, Julia shuts off her screen.
"What crawled up in her ass?" Toromaki muttered.
"Callete!" Satyr snapped from his side, surprising and shocking many that were there. The normally jolly and calm Ra Headmaster being mad at someone was a rare sight to see, "Profesora Chung has every right to be frustrated with this decision. You not only stole from a student, but a student in the Ra Girl's Dormitory, the dorm that Ms. Chung is in charge of. Professor Fontaine is showing you leniency only because of what this escuela represents. Make no mistake, that there was a unanimous vote to place you in the black-list." Satyr looked over to the rest of the faculty members and shook his head. "Los Sientos, but I'll be excusing myself from this meeting. Adios." With a press of the button, the Ra headmaster's screen turns off.
Banner said nothing as his screen powers off as well.
"Well Chancellor Sheppard," Midori tried to elevate this awkward tension. "It looks like Willowe likes the idea of the duel..."
"Like it? I love it!" Willowe's expression flipped like a switch, her smile threatening to rip her beautiful face. Midori frowned and before long Sheppard looked at the girl with a sigh. "Well then, it seems we have no other choice," said Samejima. "Ms. Wolfhunter, your duel will begin in a week-"
"No Chancellor, it won't." That's where everyone stopped at what they were doing.
"Crowler?"
The stern looking Professor Crowler shook his head, "We've given her enough mercy for offering her a duel. We will not give her any more. Ms. Wolfhunter's duel will be schedule today. 4:00 PM."
"Wait a minute, Crowler -" Fonda tried to interject. She was, however, silenced with "the look". "The look" was around since the existence of an authority figure, but Crowler made it more perfect than what is represents. He even stopped the DAS on their tracks for trying to interrupt his class with it.
"Chancellor Sheppard," Crowler continued, "I will make arrangements for this duel to start without any problem." The tired looking chancellor merely waved it off. Hey, his staff members are having a squabble, more drama on this island the last thing he really want's in on.
"B-But that's not enough time!" Willowe tried to persuade, to no avail. "Should you lose, or you are not on time for the duel, you'll be expelled from our Academia, immediately!" he announced, leaving no room for compromise. Willowe tried to look for salvation in the form of Fonda Fontaine, but to no avail as the headmistress was left speechless herself.
Disbelief and feeling betrayed, the girl quickly left the room; and not one person notice the dark glint in her eyes.
Trust me people, if I began the duel in this chapter, then this chapter would have been over 20,000 words.
So Rate, Review, Criticize, whatever.
