The end of exam... mayb not... here I have it, Chapter 5.

Chapter 5: A Blind Date

Lapis, the lavender hair girl sat in her dorm, wondering about something. Her head was swimming about the fact that Ki had been quite a duelist because back during the first duel: when Ki had during his entrance exam, he defeated the proctor's trump card, then Isaac's strategies and now, she received a text message from her brother, indicating about his defeat. She was then disturbed…

"Hey Lapis! Choo doing there?" said an auburn shoulder length hair girl with auburn eyes. The girl wore a uniform similar to Lapis'.

"Vivian, ever heard of knocking?" Lapis reminded in an annoyed tune. "What is it?"

"…Well nothing actually…" Vivian paused for a moment and at once, her character changed, "Hey, hey! What're you doing anyway?" she asked in a childlike manner of interest (both of her eyes were glittering with interest).

"You don't have to know." Lapis said under her breath, desperate to keep Vivian quiet. Vivian then caught sight on Lapis' PDA which lye on the table. There was a message which reads:

Dear sis, I hope you're fine, I'm fine here. Earlier today, I had a duel with Ki. You remember him right? The applicant no.101, dueling at arena 3, against the satellite, the guy with the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, that guy, Ki. Well, I tried him and he defeated my 'joker' card! Believe this, he's soooo COOL!

There wasn't any name written in it. Vivian could assume that the message was sent by Lapis' younger brother. "Message from your brother?" Vivian asked.

"Yeah, he was defeated… I wonder how Ki defeats him." Lapis murmured to herself.

Vivian made a sound of interest and Lapis caught a faint glance of an evil grin on Vivian's face (What?). Vivian answered in a fan girl tune, "Nothing actually-" she then tease her, "-as far as I remember, this was the first I seen you having a crush despite being a mature cool girl."

Lapis jumped and her face slightly turn red when she heard 'crush', "N-NO WAY, A-A-A-AND, IT'S NOT THAT I WANT TO ASK HIM FOR A DUEL OR SOMETH-" too late! By the time she notice what she was talking about, Vivian's grin had spread into a twitching grin as she was struggling not to laugh nor giggle.

"I see… a blind date with this… Ki guy eh? Firstly you're a year older, you're an Obelisk and he's a Ra, you're a top elite duelist and he's a freshman and, and, and…" Vivian broke into a struggling giggle. "I can't believe it!" she added.

Lapis became increasingly uncomfortable and annoying. She felt like she is going to kill Vivian while she is asleep.

"Alright then," Vivian's character changes into an understanding and caring person. "Let me help you out! I'll help you to break the border of love!" Vivian gave her a thumb up which Lapis sighed and mumbled, "That's why I told you it's not a crush!" Lapis also doesn't seem to trust her.

The next morning, like the other days, Ki was late, again. This was considered as common by every student, even teachers.

Vivian sighed into believing an idiot like Lapis may have a crush on a freshman who came in late or defeat Lapis' brother. When Ki's detention was over and returned into class, she took back her words. Crowler, their homeroom teacher kept bombarding the class with super advance duel tactics, sending their mind into confusion state. Ki's arm was the only thing shot up in the air through out the entire class. He answered every question correctly.

As homeroom session ends, Ki returned to his dorm soon after. By the time he striped his school jacket, his PDA received a text message. Ki reads it:

Ki, I know who you are. You're using that name of yours as an alias am I right? Be at the lake by the Girl's dorm, if not I will tell the entire academy of your identity.

Ki's eyes shot horribly wide as he received this message. Without further hesitations, he exits his dorm after having his uniform on.

At the lake, stood Lapis and Vivian. They were waiting, and the person they waited arrived.

"Lapis," said Ki breathlessly as he glares at her, "…" he had no more words.

"Ki, what is it?" she replied, calmly.

"…Is this a joke?" Ki continue to glare at her.

"Uh… s'cuse me?" Lapis bewilders.

Ki then turned to Vivian who stood by, watching them. He had a doubt in his eyes and then he brought his PDA, showing them the message he received. As Lapis and Vivian read the message, they scolded him into harassing them. But Ki, not believing them, slide his deck into his duel disk, activating it. He backed away a little further and in a 'ready-to-duel' pose. Lapis gasped for the moment but she too slide hers in.

"DUEL" they announced.

"Ladies first!" said Lapis as she pull six cards from her deck. "I'll begin this duel easily with Senju of the Thousand Hands (1800/1000)!" A jade figure of an idol or something appeared. It has thousands of hand and they were moving. "Senju's effect activates! When this monster has been summoned, I can add a ritual spell or monster to my hands." Lapis checked her deck and took a blue framed card with a picture of a long straight white hair woman. "I'll add this to my hands then!" she said, "Then with a face down, I end this turn."

"…" Ki draw his next card and he summons Braker the Magical Warrior (1600+300/1000). Without any further words, he set a face down and ends. Fairy deck user… this should be fun, especially that ritual monster of hers who had a creepy effect! Ki thought for a second.

Lapis had never encounter Ki as silent as this but she continue anyway, "I draw and play the Ritual Spell, the End of the World! By sacrificing monsters which level totals up to the level of the Ritual Monster I'm going to special summon, I can bring forth my ritual monster! I sacrifice Senju of the Thousand Hands and a level 4 monster in my hand, I bring forth… Ruin, The Queen of Oblivion (2300/2000)." The figure of a beautiful woman with straight long white hair appeared. She was holding a red pole spear in her hands and there was a black phantom like shadow behind her. "Now Ruin, destroy your enemies!" The woman charge forward and swings the pole spear of hers at Breaker. She sliced the warrior off with one swing and as the warrior shattered, a sonic wave came cutting Ki's Life points to 3600. Lapis ends.

Interesting! Thought Ki as he drew his next card, at the same time remained cool. From his hands, he played the spell Stray Lambs. With this, a gray and a red lamb were special summoned onto Ki's field (0/0). This ought to do for now… but they can't stand until my next turn; Ruin, the queen of Oblivion's effect enables her to attack again after destroying a monster… no that's not the problem. The problem is, if Lapis plans to play a card which deals penetrating damage… Ki's mind was swimming. But soon, he ends.

"Is that all? My- DRAW!" Ki's eyes widened as he saw a familiar style. Lapis pulled the card and in slow motion. The style resembles Liner. Destiny Draw! Ki thought as he softens a little. "Now-" Lapis said as she smirks, "I play the equip card, Fairy Meteor Crush! I equip this to Ruin. When the monster equipped with this card attacks with an attack that is higher than the defense of a defending monster, it can inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your Life Points." Ki was not too shocked but instead, he had expected this. "Go Ruin, attack that token of his, Fairy Meteor Crush!" The queen raised the pole of hers up to the air and a meteor came falling down and destroys the red lamb. Ki was caught in the impact and his Life Points were strongly decreased to 1300. "Now, Ruin, again with Fairy Meteor Crush!" The second wave came again but Ki had a trick to his sleeves.

"Reveal face down, Magic Cylinder! By negating the attack of your monsters, I can deflect it back at your Life Points!" Two cylinders appeared beside the lamb. The meteor entered through the first and it then came out from the other. The meteor bolted straight at Lapis, missing Ruin by inches. Lapis' Life points dropped to 1700.

Lapis recoiled. As she recovers, she plays the face down "Poison of the Old Man! I choose the effect: deal 800 points of direct damage to my opponent!" Ki's Life points were then dropped to 500. Ki could not blame it. Lapis ends her turn.

"Interesting," Ki repeated. "Now I draw!" Ki pulled his next card. "I tribute my Lamb Token to summon Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700)." The blonde hair magician girl appeared up to the field charmingly and elegantly. Lapis watches the magician on Ki's field. "Next I play the field spell known as Yami-" the scenery around them turned into pitch darkness as clouds of black smoke engulf the entire field. "-Yami's effect gives a boost of 200 attack and defense points to spellcasters and fiend type monsters." The blonde magician on Ki's field had her attributes increased (2000+200/1700+200).

Lapis had a sigh of relieves and she reminded, "So what? She's still weaker than my Ruin!"

"I'm not finished yet Lapis. Yami's effect on the other hand to you that is, weakens fairy type monsters by 200 points of offense and defense." Now that Ki has mentioned it, Ruin's points were decreased (2300-200/2000-200). Lapis gasped. "I'm not finished, I play equip spell: Mage Power. The equipped monster will gain a boost of 500 points for every spell or trap card on my field; by adding this and the face downs plus the field spell, it adds up to 3 so 3x500 equals?" Ki asked Lapis along with a joy of excitement. "1500 so 1500+2200 equals?" he asked again. "3700." The blonde hair magician's attacks were severely increased as there was a greenish aura enveloping her. "Cease this! Dark Magician Girl, attack Ruin, Queen of Oblivion with Dark Burning!" Dark Magician Girl strode forward and fires a dark flame which burns Ruin. Nothing was left after the flames except for Lapis' Life Points which were drained to 100, close to defeat.

"Drats, I misjudged you!" Lapis was gradually enjoying this duel.

"You'll misjudge this soon enough. Enter Main Phase 2. I activate my face down, Magical Blast!" Ki announced as he triggers a button.

"Magical Blast?" Vivian bewilders for hearing the name.

"Let me explain what does this do," Ki clear his throat, "Y'see this card deals direct damage LP (Life Points) for every monster times 200! Since there is 1 monster on my field and you have 100 LP, you're busted!" Ki smirked. Lapis gasped as her eyes shot open. "Here goes, MAGICAL BLAST!" the magician girl raised her wand forward and she casts a violet sphere and send it bolting straight at Lapis' direction. Lapis withdrew and shielded herself. Her Life Points were decreased to 0. "The End!"

Lapis fell to her knees, defeated.

"Not bad Lapis, you got skill," said Ki. "…" Ki scratched his head as if he was forgetting something. "I feel like I'm forgetting something…" Ki reconsider about what he was forgetting, until he forgotten about Lapis and Vivian.

I think he had forgotten about the message I sent him… thought Lapis as she gave a weird look at the forgetful Ki.

"Aw well. Guess it's not anything important anyway." Said Ki as he turns away and leave. "What should I do tonight? What should I do tonight?" Ki waltz away and convert his speeches into a song at the same time.

"…" Vivian thought she just saw the weirdest part of Ki (she did anyway). She then turned to Lapis who also thought about Ki's weirdness. "Lapis," she called out.

Lapis recovered and replied, "Yeah, I'm alright."

"He's so weird. He even forgot about the harassment he started," said Vivian. Actually, I'm the on who started it, thought Lapis. "Anyway, let's hit the hay, it's getting dark." Lapis nodded. So they went off.

Back in the girls' dorm, Lapis' room, she was wondering about Ki and the duel earlier, "I never thought that Ki would fell for a lame message like that…" she muttered, and then she also had something occupied in her mind, "I wonder who his identity is?"

Ki meanwhile, was referring to the front page of a newspaper. "…" At the same time, he continued to glare at the title of the front page. But, without any further care, he folds it and threw it into the basket trash can. Ki casts his glasses off and straight to bed.

End Chapter 5

That's that... I feel misery the moment, so leave me be...
