The Unnamed God Card

by viper's fang

Ten years after Judai left Duel Academia, he goes to a dueling school in North America, where he meets up with Asuka and Marie, an OC. He hasn't aged in ten years, so he enters as a student and there's new trouble concerning Marie and her deck. It's a horrible summary, but a good story. Hiatus/Up for adoption

6. A Surprise Reunion

Marie's POV, first person (next day, third period)

I was a bit anxious for this period the whole morning. Why? Because this was the period that Judai Yuki and Miss Tenjouin were going meet. I wondered what their reactions were going to be. Judai didn't seem too concerned about seeing the teacher from his old school; I could already see him starting to fall asleep in his chair.

Miss Tenjouin was still out roaming the halls for late comers, so Judai hadn't seen her yet, and she probably hasn't even heard of his arrival yet. Man, were they both in for a surprise.

The bell rang and Miss Tenjouin clacked into the classroom. "Alright, everyone, settle down," she said, not yet noticing the new kid slumped over his desk. "I'm going take roll call now, so please sit down and prepare for class. According to Mr. Thompson, there should be a new name on the list..." she muttered to herself, pulling the list up on the computer.

She went through all of the normal names, looking prepared for just a normal day. But when Miss Tenjouin reached the last name, she tripped over it and looked up hurriedly. When she locked sights on the dual-toned brown hair, she looked like she was about to collapse.

"Judai?" she asked. At the sound of his name, Judai woke up and glanced at Miss Tenjouin. His expression of surprise was only surpassed by Miss Tenjouin's.

"Asuka?" he exclaimed. Murmurs spread up and down the isles.

"Who does he think he's talking to?" "Do they know each other?" "I'll laugh when Miss Tenjouin gives him detention for calling her by her first name." I just chuckled to myself. I got the feeling that Judai wasn't going to be punished.

"U-um, may I see you in the hall, Mr. Yuki?" Miss Tenjouin stammered, barely recovering her teacher's pride.

Judai silently moved to the door and Miss Tenjouin slid back out into the hall behind him. As the door shut, all the kids turned to talk to each other. I hurried around to the classroom's second exit and slipped out of the room unnoticed. No way I was going to miss this conversation.

I ended up in a hall parallel to the one that Miss Tenjouin and Judai were in. To get to the other hall, I passed through the conveniently empty classroom neighboring mine and stood in the doorway that opened up to the targeted hall. I was lucky; the conversation was only starting.
