Chapter 17: Arcane vs Infinity
Two weeks later, after 'the' event occurred, Ki is finally released from 'the ward of boredom'. Although he is freed, Miss Fonda - the head nurse asked Katie to keep a strict eye on him, hoping that he do not get himself into enough accidents. Which is torture for him already. His seven years with her were enough to understand her TRUE nature.
Damn, one day, that ugly git is gonna get it! he grunted indirectly at Crowler.
"Which ugly git?" asked Katie with an all so familiar chuckle.
"No one!" he replied quickly. Apparently, he found out that Katie has the ability to read his thoughts.
Classes, one of his least concern obstacle. By the time he enters, the students seem to roll the red carpet for him. Ever since his triumph over Byler, he gained a name for himself. That sucked, thought Ki.
What do you expect Mr. Famous! said his duel spirit telepathically.
"Yeah, right Shina," he sighed. Silent Magician was opened to him better than last time. She knew him better. Ki had not been relying on his luck on the draw. In fact, he was relying on his believes and his faith in his cards. Of course, the card that belonged to someone else's. He returned the card to Tyrule after his recovery. Thanking him for both the card and for stoping Isaac.
"You're awake the whole time?" he asked in a stupefied voice.
"Maybe," is all he answered.
Tyrule sighed.
The class had began. But this time, the headmaster was there as well as the other teachers. Whispers and murmurs begin to pass around the class as they were curious to know what is going on.
"Ah-hem," the headmaster cleared his throat which caught the attention of every student at once. "As all of you have expected, we have important announcement to make!" he began, "First of all, we would like to welcome back Miss Wilhelmia to Duel Academy!" as the chancellor spoke, a woman in blue and black approaches the headmaster.
The students stared in awe at the beautiful blonde in black habit. She bowed and stood with the other teachers.
"Miss Wilhelmia took two years of rest due to some circumstances happened back at her homeland, now she will returned being your relief teacher." explained Sheppard. "Of course, last but not least, we do have a new student to enroll in our academy."
Even more whispers begin to roam around.
"I would like all of you to welcome Mr. Civil Kenears to our academy!" as the headmaster turned to the door behind, the amnesia man walked slowly to the stands beside Sheppard.
"H-Hello," he greeted nervously.
From where Lapis is sitting, she could hear interesting flattery from the girls. Isaac on the other hand threw a filthy look at him, "Losers!" Ki on the other hand saw something different about him.
Shina! he called telepathically.
What is it? she replied.
What do you think about him? he asked.
I think he's handsome! Otherwise, he had an amnesia. She answered
Amnesia?
Civil waved and waited behind Sheppard, until…
"WAIT! Wait a moment Mr. Sheppard, isn't this a little unfair for him to suddenly become a student?" asked Crowler who seemed to hate the idea. "I mean, don't every applicant need to pass the entrance exam before becoming a student?"
"Oh, that is for certain," interrupted Yula, "Y'see I've witnessed the duel between him and Chester Barnaby!"
Whispers passes around and about even more. Even Liner and Vaan were mumbling.
"Uh, Ty!" called Ki, "Whose this Chester Barnaby?"
"Chester Barnaby is one of the royal family of Domino City, he had been undefeated and won the reputation of being the regional champion!" explained Tyrule.
"Regional," gasped Ki.
"Wait! Rules are rules Miss Wilhelmia! I'd say why don't he duel with one of our students here and see if he could enter for himself!" suggested Crowler, "What about a duel with Mr. Ki?"
Ki gasped at the sound of his name being called. Civil saw him and decided to remain his cool.
"S-Sure," he answered nervously.
Ki shoved his glasses higher and gave a friendly warm smile.
Everyone assembled at the duel arena. Both duelists took their sides and were ready. Yula sat beside Prof. Clerk who is recording the duel with a Soni 5D Digital Camera (Limited Edition).
Ki and Civil exchanges their deck and shuffled. As Ki shuffles Civil's deck, he could feel a terrifying aura emitting from it.
"Glad to be able to duel with you Ki," said Civil.
"Same hill!" answered Ki, "Here!" he was done shuffling.
"Thanks!" Civil returned his deck and with his, he returned to his side. "Hope you're ready Ki, let's go!"
"Right!" they activated their duel disks. Five cards drawn and declared together "DUEL!"
Ki - 4000
Civil - 4000
"Here I go!" Ki draw his card. He smirks at the sight of his partner. "I summon Silent Magician Lv 4 (Level 4/Light/Spellcaster/Effect/1000/1000)," a white robed girl appeared, "Now here's the turn up! Level Up! This card allows me to raise the level of a LV monster on the field to their next form! Silent Magician Lv 4 will grow to Silent Magician Lv 8 (Level 8/Light/Spellcaster/Effect/3500/1000)!" the girl was enveloped in a brilliant white shine. She then grew rapidly into an elder mature woman.
"Talk about rapid growth!" said Civil jokingly.
"Sure do!" they laughed, "Anyway, I set 2 cards face down and end my turn!"
"Sure! Here I go!" Civil drew his card. As he reveals it he gasped at the sight of it. Flashes of memories returning…
…one of the three aces of my deck…
…the Infinity are good killers to decks these days…
…low level beatdown deck…
…so that is the reason why it is called low level beatdown…
Civil returned to reality as he remembered even more. "Sorry, for the hold up!" he said, "Now then, where was I?" he asked as he looked at his hand. "I summon Copycat (Level 1/Light/Spellcaster/Effect/0/0)!" A magician holding a mirror appeared.
"Wait, what?" Ki gasped at the sight of one of his card being played. That was one of my card! Then again, how does he have it?
"Copycat's ability can copy the original attack and defense points of a monster on my opponent's side of the field! I copy Silent Magician's stats!" the magician held the mirror to his face and mirrored Silent Magician (3500/1000).
The audiences were surprised. Lucas was impressed.
"That's not all! From my hands I activate the effect of Qucikdraw Synchron by sending a monster from my hands to the gravyard, I can special summon him to the field!" Civil send a card to the graveyard and a cow boy appeared (Level 5/Wind/Machine/Tuner/700/1400)! "Now I activate the effect of Level Eater (Level 1/Dark/Insect/Effect/600/0)!" declared Civil to Chester's surprise, "By reducing the level of one level 5 or more monster on my field, I can return him to my field from the graveyard!" said Civil as he smirks. The insect returned to the field as it passes through the cowboy.
The audience were wondering what is going to happen next.
"Quickdraw Synchron allows me substitute a monster with any Synchron Tuner in it's name for a Synchro Monster. But it only allows me to synchro summon monsters that lists a Synchron monster as a Tuner monster!" explained Civil. "Now, here we go! Tuning Level Eater with Quickdraw Synchron!" the cowboy unleashed four circles and lined in a straight line. The insect just went through the circles and with an emerald gleam, a new monster replace Civil's field. "Reveal yourself, Junk Warrior (Level 5/Dark/Warrior/Synchro Effect/2300/1300)!" A warrior with a big right arm appeared.
Everyone were astound.
"Junk Warrior!" Ki stared the warrior, "I see now! When he is Synchro Summoned, he gains the attack points of all Level 2 or bellow monsters."
"That's right! Copycat's attack points are now 3500! So 3500 are added to Junk Warrior, making him-" The warrior is now enveloped in light (5800/1300).
"WHAT!" Ki gasped. The audiences were no exception.
"He easily overpowered Ki's ace in just one summon!" gasped Lucas.
"Impressive!" cheered the headmaster.
"Now here we go! Junk Warrior, Scrap Fist!" the warrior boosted his jets and darted forward to land a hook.
"I won't just stand there! Reveal! Spellbinding Circle! This card can stop one of your monsters from attacking for as long as this card remains!" as the trap was played, a circle pulled the warrior into position and held him back. Ki sighed with relieves.
That was close! yelled Shina.
"Close enough doesn't bring home the trophy!" said Ki.
"Well, good back up! But I'm not done! Entering Main Phase 2!" said Civil, "I activate Level Eater's effect!" The bug return as it passed through the warrior (Level 4). The bug set itself in preparation for any coming attack (Level 1/Dark/Insect/Effect/600/0). "Like it I end my turn!"
Ki smiled, "I haven't have such a duel in a while!" admitted Ki, "Now, I shall show you the power of my Arcane Tourney!" Ki proceed his draw.
Ki reveal the card in his hand and smirked at the new card he drew, "I summon Frequency Magician (Level 2/Light/Spellcaster/Tuner/800/400)" a magician emitting sound waves appeared. "Frequency Magician allows me to place a Spell Counter on him when he is summoned. If I remove it, I can provide one monster on my field with an additional 500 attack points!"
The magician emitted a sound wave. Silent Magician Lv 8's spell power seem to have some changes (4000/1000).
"Uh, oh!" gasped Civil.
"GO! SIlent Magician Lv 8! Attack Copycat with Silent Banning!" she nodded and leap forward, firing a bolt of light at the mirror magician. The bolt hits and exploded as it touches the magician.
Civil - 3500
Ki - 4000
"Also, I would like to interrupt with this! The trap card Magician's Circle. When a spellcaster attacks, this card enables us to special summon a Spellcaster with 2000 or lower attack points." Ki searches his deck and revealed, "I bring out the all famous Dark Magician Girl (Level 5/Dark/Spellcaster/Effect/2000/1400)!" a beautiful girl appeared to the field.
The audiences were cheering delightedly at the sight of her.
"In that case, I'll bring out one of my own! Copycat 2 (Level 1/Light/Spellcaster/Effect/0/0)!" the second mirror faced magician appeared.
"Sure, Frequency Magician, GO attack Level Eater!" the magician released an agonizing sound wave which shatters the bug. "Next! Dark Magician Girl! Dark Banning!" the girl fire her dark magic at the magician.
Civil - 1500
Ki - 4000
"I'm fine with it!" said Civil unfazed.
"Well then, how's this?" he asked, "Main Phase 2!" he used the final card in his hands, "I play Sage Stone!" Ki declared, "This card allows me to special summon a Dark Magician from from my deck when Dark Magician Girl is on the field!" he explained.
Ki searches his deck and bring out the great magician. A black robed magician appeared (Level 7/Dark/Spellcaster/Effect/2500/2000). The audience cheered.
"Wait! I'm not finished!" said Ki, "I'm tuning Dark Magician Girl Level 5 with Frequency Magician Level 2! GO! Synchro Summon!" the machine armed magician lets out a frequency and become two sparks. The girl closed her eyes and allow the sparks to circled around her. Wand ready, she casted a spell and become five sparks. "Great power of Arcane Arts, unveil all darkness and balance all things of nature with your secrets and power! Bring forth the balance of the world! Synchro Summon! Arise now, Arcanite Magician (Level 7/Light/Spellcaster/Synchro Effect/400/1800)!" a white robed magician appeared.
"Arcanite Magician!" gasped Lucas.
The audiences were dumbfounded by Ki's monster.
"When Arcanite Magician is synchro summoned, I can place 2 spell counters on this card! First for every spell counter attached to him, he gains a grand of 1000 attack points!" two green spheres appeared floating above the magician (2400/1800). "Another, by removing a spell counter on my side of the field, I can destroy a card you control, like Junk Warrior!"
"Uh oh!" gasped Civil.
"Go! Photon Stream!" the magician raised his scepter and points an orb towards the warrior. The orb disappear and reappears above the warrior. It descends slowly and exploded as it shined brilliantly. "Well, that's that! Turn e-"
Before Ki could end his turn, Civil gave a wide grin.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"I was hoping you destroy him!" said Civil. Much to everyone's surprise.
"He was hoping?" gasped Liner.
"What is he up to?" asked Tyrule, "He should realize that his chances of winning are slim due to the fact that Ki had overpowered him now, just what is he up to?"
"…This guy is out of his mind!" insulted Crowler.
Isaac spat pathetically at him.
"What is your intention now?" asked Ki.
"Nothing, my intentions are only this!" Civil revealed a card in his hands, "I activate the effect of a monster in my hands!" Civil summoned the monster to the field. As he did, a whirlwind enveloped the field. Then five blue machine parts gathered to Civil's field.
"W-What?" Ki gasped, "What is this monster?" Ki had seen all the cards there is and memorized them, however, he had not seen this one.
Ki, be careful! I could feel something odd from that monster! warned his duel spirit.
"Oh wait, that's just how he looks at first, but the real show begins!" Civil raised his hands to the air and immediately, the five parts begin to combine in to a birdlike or dragonlike machine. As the combination is finished, a greenish aura is visible within it's body. "Ki, allow me to introduce you to one of my three aces-Machine Emperor Skiel Infinity (Level 1/Wind/Machine/Effect/2200/2200)!"
"M-Machine Emperor Skiel Infinity!" gasped Ki.
Everyone in the arena were shocked to see the monster. Lucas was even more astound than usual.
Ki glared the machine but nonetheless, ends his turn.
"Hey, is that guy serious?" insulted an Obelisk Student.
"Here I though what was he up to!" the other insulted.
"My turn!" Civil draw his next card. He reveals it and smirks as he turned to the other two cards in his hands. "All these cards are enough to defeat you!" snickered Civil
Ki stared at the machine emperor. He had never heard nor seen this card before. But he is certain of one thing. Civil did not summoned this card because of its attack. "I wonder, what is this odd feeling I'm having?" Is it fear? he wondered.

Card Review
Copycat Effect Monster
Level 1
Attribute Light
Type Spellcaster
Attack 0
Defense 0
Description: When this card is Summoned, select 1 monster your opponent controls. This card's ATK and DEF become equal to the selected monster's original ATK and DEF.
Recommended for a Junk Warrior Deck if you ask me! Just like the fiction above! Or you can use this card to stall your opponent. Honest worked well with this card then use Mystik Wok after the attack to gain Life Points.
Arcanite Magician Synchro Effect Monster
Level 7
Attribute Light
Type Spellcaster
Attack 400
Defense 1800
Description: 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Spellcaster-Type monsters
When this card is Synchro Summoned, place 2 Spell Counters on it. This card gains 1000 ATK for each Spell Counter on it. You can remove 1 Spell Counter from a card you control to destroy 1 card your opponent controls.
Recommended for the new spellcaster starters-Spellcaster's Command. Since this card requires Spell counters to raise his attack and use its effect, I recommend having Spell Power Grasp combed with Recycle and Spell Economics (I'm not sure with this card) for this card. Other wise having a good draw engine and play Tempest Magician to increase the number of spell counters rapidly. The new field spell - Magical Citadel of Endymion for his effect.
Warning: Beware with cards that cancels out effect like Skill Drain and Effect Veiler also cards like Book of Moon and of course Yubel.
