Chapter 6
A week has passed since Jaden told everyone who he was. At first some of them didn't believe them because he wasn't as good at him when they saw him on TV but he told them that he didn't duel his best otherwise they would find it out sooner. After Jaden gave Zane and Alexis their cards they dueled a lot of peoples, everyone asked Alexis who gave her those cards and she told them that I gave her them because I didn't need them. Most of the students who dueled Zane didn't know about the underworld deck, but everyone who dueled him asked him who gave him that deck as well. Zane told them Jaden gave him the cards because Jaden didn't want them to know that he and Pegasus were friends.
Now that everyone knew that Jaden gave Zane and Alexis the cards they asked him if he had some cards for them as well. He told everyone he brought those with him because he heard about Zane and Alexis. No one believed him because they all knew the cards were released only a few days ago and if they asked him to tell them the real reason he didn't respond them, instead he turned around and walked away without saying anything. After a few days almost everyone stopped bothering Jaden because they knew they wouldn't get any answers.
Today everyone was in class and Dr. Crowler was teaching them and it was extremely boring. "Jaden and Zane the Chancellor wants to speak with you," Crowler said.
"This can't be good," Alexis told me.
"I didn't do anything wrong and I'm sure Zane didn't do anything wrong as well," Jaden said and stood up and walked out the class. Zane stood up as well and walked to Jaden and Jaden waited for Zane to catch up.
"Do you know why the Chancellor wants to speak with us?" Zane asked while walking to his office.
"No but I'm sure we didn't do anything wrong," Jaden answered. He was thinking about what the Chancellor wants with them and after a while thinking he found it out. "I think he wants to speak with us about the deck I gave you," Jaden said.
"Why should he want that, even if he wants to talk about the deck then why do you have to come with me?" Zane asked and raised his left eyebrow.
"Maybe someone told him that I gave you the deck," Jaden said.
"If he knows about the deck than we are in big trouble," Zane said.
"We won't be in trouble," Jaden said with confidence.
"I hope you're right," Zane said. When they reached his office Zane knocked on the door.
"Come in," Sheppard said while he was sitting on his chair and he saw Zane and Jaden walk inside.
"Why did you want to speak with us," Jaden asked and took a seat opposite of the Chancellor and Zane took the seat next to Jaden. They looked at the Chancellor and saw that he didn't look happy.
"I think you know why I called you here," Sheppard said.
"Because of the deck I have?" Zane asked and wasn't surprised.
"Preciously, I know that Jaden gave you the deck so that's the reason why he is here as well," Sheppard said.
"How do you know I gave Zane that deck?" Jaden asked.
"Chazz told Crowler and Crowler told me," Sheppard said and then looked at Zane. "you may be the best duelist I have here but you know that you will be expelled because you use an forbidden and dangerous deck," Sheppard told Zane.
Zane was shocked to hear him say that he would be expelled while this was his last year.
"And you will be expelled for having this deck and giving it to Zane while you knew this deck was forbidden to use," Sheppard said angry.
"If it's forbidden to use then why should he release those cards?" Jaden asked and saw that the Chancellor was surprised by his question.
"You will be expelled and you still ask me this question?" Sheppard asked angry.
"You shouldn't believe everything they say," Jaden said.
"So Pegasus lied about that deck?" Sheppard asked.
"I tell you one thing, if you expel us you will regret it," Jaden said and walked away but he stopped in the door opening and then turned back. "I don't care if you expel me because I can go back to the pro league but I should be careful with Zane," he said and then walked out the office.
"He's threatening me," Sheppard said to himself. "I don't want you to use that deck again or I will expel you directly, now go back to the class!" Sheppard said angry.
Zane walked calmly out his office and saw Jaden leaning to the wall next to the door and he was smiling as well. "We're going to get expelled and you're happy," Zane said angry.
"Believe me he won't expel us, he's already trying to find some information about your deck," Jaden said.
Zane walked back to the class but Jaden still stood still. Zane stopped walking when he saw that Jaden wasn't following him so he turned to Jaden. "Why aren't you going back to class?" Zane asked.
"Why should we, Crowler can't teach and we know already everything that they will teach us at school," Jaden said.
"I know but if we don't go to class we will have trouble again," Zane said and walked to the class.
Jaden grumbled but run to Zane. "You're no fun," Jaden said joking and Zane responded with an "hmm". The whole way back to the class no one said anything. When they walked back in the class everyone looked to them and were surprised to see that Zane was angry.
"This can't be good," Alexis said.
"Why do you think?" Jaden asked.
"Because Zane never is angry," Alexis said.
"It isn't very bad," Jaden said.
Zane was Furious now and everyone saw it except Jaden. "IT ISN'T BAD. WE ARE GOING TO GET EXPELLED AND YOU SAY THAT IT ISN'T BAD!" Zane yelled furious in Jaden's ear. Everyone was shocked to hear him say that they were going to get expelled.
Crowler was actually happy to hear that Jaden is going to get expelled but not that Zane was going to get expelled.
"Why are you so angry? He won't expel us and even if he does you will still become a pro duelist," Jaden said calm.
"How do you know that for sure?" Zane asked.
"Remember I've connections so I can find a sponsor for you in a few days," Jaden said.
"Why is Chancellor Sheppard going to expel you," Crowler asked Jaden.
"He isn't going to expel me or Zane and that's something between me and him," Jaden said rudely.
"How can you be so sure that he isn't going to expel you?" Crowler asked.
"He's right, I'm not going to expel them," Sheppard said from behind Jaden and Zane.
They both were surprised to hear him. They turned around and saw Sheppard standing in the door opening. "What did I tell you," Jaden said to Zane.
"How could you be so sure about that?" Zane asked.
"When we left his office he called Pegasus and asked him about your deck and he explained him everything and after that he tried to catch up with us but we were already in the class," Jaden said.
Sheppard was shocked to hear him say everything he did the past five minutes. "I don't know how you know that but that's not important. I'm shouldn't threaten you with expulsion," Sheppard excused.
"I knew you wouldn't expel us so I don't care but you did scare Zane," Jaden said and then looked at Zane and saw that he wasn't angry anymore.
"Now that this problem is solved I have to go back to the paperwork," Sheppard sighed.
"Can I talk with you for a few seconds, this is important?" Jaden asked the Chancellor. The Chancellor nodded and they both walked out the class.
"I hope you have a good reason because I have a lot of work to do," Sheppard said.
"I think the fate of the school is important enough," Jaden said.
"What do you mean?" Sheppard asked confused.
"I know the sacred beast cards are hidden under this school and the shadow riders are going to try and free them," Jaden said.
"How do you know that the sacred beast cards are hidden under this school and how do you know about the shadow riders?" Sheppard asked.
"Remember that I read about them so I know everything about them but don't worry they will attack in a few weeks so you still have some time left to prepare," Jaden said and walked back in the class without the Chancellor letting answer him. When Jaden entered the classroom again everyone looked at him but he ignored them and walked back to his seat next to Alexis. "Why is everyone looking at me?" Jaden asked Alexis.
Alexis looked around the class and everyone was looking at Jaden like he said. Alexis lift her shoulders "I don't know," she said. "Just ignore them and they will stop looking at you," Alexis said.
After class Jaden walked to the slifer dorm so he could spend some time with Syrus and Chumley while he was walking to the slifer dorm he heard someone running to him. When he turned around he saw that it was Alexis. Jaden let Alexis first catch her breath. After a minute Alexis caught her breath. "What are you doing here?" Jaden asked.
"I didn't see you walking to the dorm so I began to search for you but where are you going?" Alexis asked.
"I'm going to the slifer dorm so I can spend some time with Syrus and Chumley, do you want to come with me?" Jaden asked hoping she would say 'yes'.
"I don't know if they will hate me because they don't like obelisks," Alexis said.
"I'm sure they don't hate you, you have seen them before and they didn't hate you then so why would they hate you now?" Jaden asked. "Now come with me and if you don't like it there we can always go back to the obelisk dorm," Jaden said and took Alexis hand and walked to the slifer dorm.
When Jaden took Alexis her hand she blushed but she didn't pull back. When they reached the slifer dorm Jaden let loose of Alexis her hand. "You can come walk back to the obelisk dorm now or you can spend a while here," Jaden said.
"I'll stay here," Alexis said and they walked to the room where Jaden stayed when he was still in the slifer dorm. When they walked in the room they saw Syrus and Chumley laying on the bed.
"What are you doing here?" Syrus asked when he saw Jaden and Alexis standing in the door opening.
"Did you really think that when I left the slifer dorm that I would forget you," Jaden said smiling.
"What is Alexis doing here than?" Chumley asked.
"Alexis decided to come with me," Jaden said and took a seat so that Alexis could lay on the bed. The whole day Alexis and Jaden stayed at the slifer dorm. Jaden and Alexis were about to leave but Syrus stopped them.
"Before you go do you know where Chazz is because I haven't seen him for a few days," Syrus said.
"I haven't seen him either. Maybe he's sick or something," Alexis said.
Jaden was smiling and everyone saw him. "What did you do with him?" Syrus asked.
"I didn't do anything to him. He left the duel academy the day before I told everyone who I was," Jaden said.
"Why did he leave?" Alexis asked.
"He had a duel with Bastion and he lost and after that he left duel academy," Jaden said and walked out the room and Alexis followed him.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Alexis asked.
"I didn't think you would miss him and I'm sure he will come back one day," Jaden said and he walked Alexis back to the girls dorm and after that he walked to the boys dorm.
The next day everyone was waiting for the Chancellor because he would have an announcement to make.
"Students this is Chancellor Sheppard speaking. you all know that the school duel between north academy is approaching. We haven't chosen anyone to represent us so. I want you all to study hard so that you'll be the one representing our duelist for the school duel," Sheppard said.
After the announcement was made Chancellor Sheppard asked Zane, Crowler and a few other teachers to go to his office. When Zane walked in Sheppard's office he saw that he was the last one to arrive. "Why did you want to have me here?" Zane asked Chancellor Sheppard.
"We know that the north academy will have a first year student to represent them so it would only be fair if we would use a first year student as well but we don't know who we have to pick," Sheppard said.
"I would choose Jaden," Zane said.
"I thought you would suggest him but he is a pro duelist," Sheppard sighed.
"We didn't know he was until he told us and I'm sure they won't recognize him," Zane said with a smile.
"I didn't think of that before. The decision is made, Jaden will represent us for the school duel," Sheppard announced.
'Why has that slifer slacker to represent us' Crowler thought angry. "I would suggest Bastion or Alexis," Crowler said.
"Why should you choose for one of them?" Sheppard asked.
"They are the top students from our school," Crowler said.
"I know you don't like Jaden but don't you want to win right?" Zane asked.
"Of course I want to win," Crowler said nervous.
"If you want to win then you have to agree with us," Zane said. Crowler didn't say anything but mumbled something under his breath and walked out Sheppard's office.
"I guess he agrees with us," Sheppard said with a small smile.
When they were done Zane left the office and walked to Jaden's room to inform him. When he stood in front of his door he knocked on his door and he heard Jaden unlock his door and then he opened the door.
After Jaden opened the door he was Shocked to see Zane standing in front of the door. "W What brings you here?" Jaden asked shocked.
"I came to tell you that you're representing us for the school duel," Zane said.
"hmm… I would say that you would represent us," Jaden said.
"Wait… aren't you happy to have such a big honor?" Zane asked surprised.
"Did you forget that I'm a pro duelist but to answer your question I'm happy to represent us," Jaden said with a huge smile. "But Sheppard told us that he didn't choose anyone," Jaden said.
"I had to go to his office to ask me who I should choose for our school," Zane said.
It took Jaden a few second to understand what he meant. "You chose me?" Jaden asked in disbelief.
"I did," Zane said.
"Why didn't Chancellor Sheppard choose you?" Jaden asked.
"They will choose a first year student so Sheppard thought it would be fair if we would choose a first year student as well," Zane said.
"So Chazz will come back earlier than I thought," Jaden said to his self but Zane heard him.
"What do you mean 'Chazz will come back earlier than you thought?" Zane asked.
"Chazz left duel academy because he lost twice to me and once to Bastion and now he will come back so he can show us how good he really is," Jaden said.
"I don't think that Chazz left because he lost a few times," Zane said and walked out of Jaden's room to leave Jaden on his own but he stopped in the door opening. "don't tell anyone you will represent us," Zane said and closed the door before Jaden could ask 'why.'
'I didn't think Chancellor Sheppard would choose me to represent duel academy' Jaden thought and closed the door again and walked back to his bed. 'I hope my headache will be over when the school duel is' Jaden thought when he went through his hair with his hands.
I know that the duel between Titan and Jaden is before the school duel but I decided to switch those two duels, the duel between Harrington and Jaden I would be exactly the same as on the anime but Alexis is still Jaden's 'fiancée'. Maybe I'll do the duel between Harrington and Jaden in a flashback over a few chapters but you'll see that.
