"Students, I'm happy to announce that a new student may be joining you class, now who would like to duel in order to see how skilled Mr. Lester is?" the teacher asked while a young man stood next to him with a friendly smile.
"I'll duel sir, I could always use a good match." Leo said with huge amounts of enthusiasm.
"Well, if you feel comfortable dueling Leo, we can all head over to the dueling hall." The teacher said. "Lester, do you have a deck?"
"No, well I do, but it isn't finished yet. I need a few cards before it is finished." Lester said while smiling at Luna.
"Yusei, you look awful, didn't sleep well did you?" Crow asked walking into the basement.
"I'm fine crow, but we should get to work, the WRGP is coming up, and we still don't have our engine program ready." Yusei said looking at the computer.
"Alright, but Yusei I still say you need some rest." Crow said while grabbing a wrench to work on the test engine.
"Lester, would a practice deck suffice?" the teacher asked.
"Well, if it isn't too much trouble, I was wondering if I could use a deck based around one of my favorite cards." Lester said while pulling a card out of his pocket.
"Lester, I'm impressed the Dark Magician is a rare card." The teacher said. "Sly, could you run and ask for a deck based on the dark magician? We should allow Lester to show his true abilities."
"Alright, not like it matters, Leo won't win anyway." Sly said while walking off to grab Lester's cards.
Yusei was the best candidate, but in his current situation I don't know if he can achieve clear mind, thought a figure outside the window, but still, I should at least try.
"Crow, could you grab the door?" Yusei said, grabbing a towel to wipe some of the dirt off his hands.
"Sure." Crow said while answering the door. "Who are you?"
"My name is Visor, and I have a message for Yusei, it concerns the Meklord Emperors, and the way to stop them, it involves speed, and a lot of it." Visor said while looking at Yusei.
"A way to stop those monsters. Well I'll be at the highway tomorrow, can we work on this then?" Yusei asked.
"We need to be quick, but I'll see if I can get there." Visor said quickly. "I need to go, our enemies are following me, and I need to move quickly."
"Alright, I'll look out for you, but just answer this, what is this method?" Yusei asked.
"The answer to what exists beyond synchro summoning, clear mind." Visor said before getting on a runner and riding away.
"Duel." said Lester and Leo at the same time.
Lester life points 4000 Leo life points 4000: "I'll go first, I set two cards facedown, and summon Skilled Dark Magician in attack mode." Lester said. "With that I end my turn."
Lester life points 4000 Leo life points 4000: "My move, I summon Morphtronic Boomboxen in attack mode, and equip him with Double Tool C&D. Now I attack your magician." Leo said with a grin.
"You walked into a trap, or should I say two, first my magician gained a counter when you played your equip spell, and second this." Lester said while flipping a card. "This card is called Magic Cylinder, and it negates your attack and deals damage equal to your monsters attack points." Lester said as a laser from a cylinder blasted Leo.
"That is not cool, I play one card facedown and end my turn." Leo said.
"Leo, are you ok?" Luna asked.
"Yeah, but I don't like this kid, he's almost too good." Leo said.
Lester life points 4000 Leo life points 1800: "My turn, I play the Heavy Storm magic card, and destroy your facedown and Double Tool." Lester said as his magician gained another counter. "Now I play another spell, my Fissure destroys your Boomboxen." Lester said as Leo's monster collapsed into the ground.
"Not good, now I have no cards at all." Leo said nervously.
"Leo, that's the least of your worries." Luna said.
"She's right, since it has three counters, I can tribute my Skilled Dark Magician in order to summon the original, so come forth Dark Magician." Lester said as the monster appeared behind him. "Now finish this duel with dark magic attack."
"Lester, that was remarkable, I feel you will be a valuable addition to our academy." the teacher said while Leo smiled.
"Wow, Lester is really skilled." Luna said.
"I'm honored such a lovely lady is complimenting my skill, maybe we can have a match some time." Lester said causing Luna to blush.
"Jakob, I know we're letting Lester try his plan, but I have to ask, why is he relying on Luna? I know she is a signer, but she is one of the weakest, and it won't provide the circuit much energy." Primo said while staring at Lester's attempts to impress the students at duel academy.
"Primo, I know you disagree with his methods, but regardless of the technique, as long as the circuit is completed that is our primary concern." Jakob said.
"I know, but this is going to waste our time." Primo said.
"Yusei, I know that the Earthbound Immortals can beat the Meklords, but maybe this clear mind thing is worth a try." Crow said.
"Yeah, but until it works I plan on using what we know does, that can be a backup plan." Yusei said looking into the sky.
(Lester has begun his plan to capture Luna's energy for the circuit, and Visor has told Yusei of clear mind. Next Chapter will feature Yusei dueling Visor, and clear mind will be revealed. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
