What is XYZ Summoning
Reapercone thank you for your review about the knight and joker archetype and the whole warrior gimmick for the Paladin deck.
And in regards to XYZ Summoning this chapter will explain the reason the XYZ Cards are in the Paladin deck.
Also when Lugh faces Bastion and Jaden in a triple threat the renovated deck he will use will not have any XYZ cards but a certain Summoning method related to the other deck he had in the backpack.
Finally I know that with the Paladin deck people will think this is a archetype in Yu-Gi-Oh but I just did this because I remember have a fun time playing Vanguard with those decks so I wanted to use them for this story.
Know onto the story.
After the Duel Lugh had outside the school many of the other students asked where he got those cards and how to get them.
Answering their questions one at a time he explained that he didn't know where to get them and that before he got here a friend gave them to him believing he would be able to get the best out of them.
After satisfying their curiosity Lugh looked for his classroom and came face to face with one of the blue haired girls he saw on the first day.
Looking at one another in silence Lugh got nervous 'What am I supposed to do in this situation.' He thought as the girl coughed into her hand before bringing it out for a handshake.
"My name is Rio Kastle it's a pleasure to meet you." She said in a soft tone while giving him a small smile.
Momentarily confused Lugh quickly got over it and shook her hand "My name is Lugh Frau it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Rio." He replied with a smile before noticing she had cards in her other hand. Intrigued he asked what the were for.
"Oh these well I was using them to write down the schedule that I would have for the school year." She said before bringing up his Duel.
"That was a good play you did their with Foolish Burial to send your Akane to the grave and Special Summoning her with Macha to add a Fusion Spell to use." She said with a smile.
"Yeah it was a good strategy I came up with without having to XYZ Summon a monster from the extra deck." He said before he felt his shirt get grabbed and get pulled down face to face with Rio.
"What did you say?" Rio said in a dark and emotionless tone as she made him look at her face to face.
"That it was a strategy I came up with." Lugh said nervously as he felt like he was drowning in a ocean of darkness.
"No... after that." She said while clutching his shirt tighter as Lugh felt his shirt was about to rip.
"XYZ Summon a monster..." Lugh said in fear as he felt like he stepped on a landmine.
After a few seconds Rio let go of his shirt before acting in a suspicious manner before opening the classroom door and looked him in the eyes "Come to the oceanside area of the island after classes are done." She said before walking inside leaving no room for argument.
Nodding slowly Lugh got up and entered the classroom as more students started to entire.
After classes ended Lugh walked to the oceanside area not wanting to make Rio angry at him for being late.
As he was heading their he heard a voice call out from his head "Be care.".
Shaking his head Lugh marched onward to meet up with Rio. After arriving he saw her looking at the ocean with a solemn expression on her face.
Walking closer he stopped as she turned her head to face him in a serious manner "Good you've arrived." She said while taking our her deck.
Noticing this Lugh thought he knew what she was getting at "So you came here to ask for a Duel?" He said as he touched the attachment on his right hip.
Shaking her head no she walked closer to him before sitting on a rock and patted the rock on her right side.
Obliging her request Lugh sat next to her and stayed quiet as she took out a black card out from her extra deck before showing it to him "Does the XYZ monster card you own look like this?" She asked as she became tense waiting for him to respond.
Taking one of his XYZ monsters Lugh showed Rio his own that had a similar color but with a different level and image "This is one of the ones I have." He said before handing it to her to hold.
Taking it Rio looked at it's design before handing Lugh his card and put her own in her "You shouldn't use XYZ Summoning here." She said stretching her body.
Confused Lugh inquired for the reason why.
Looking at Lugh for a moment Rio sighed before giving him a look of worry and answered "XYZ Summoning isn't supposed to be in this world." She said as her body slowly slacked.
Shocked at her words Lugh gave her a look of worry and asked "Are you also a person that woke up in this place with no knowledge of the rules of this world?" In a hopeful yet worried tone.
"Yes, I woke up in this world around three years ago in confusion with my deck in my hand." She said as started to show signs of sorrow.
"In my past life I was called Marin a priestess, and, princess to a kingdom of water before I awoke in this world with my card's to find that the only card's with any association to XYZ would be the XYZ Fusion monster used by the owner of this school." She said while looking down with a somber face as the sun started to glow a orange color in the sky in the background behind her.
Staying silent Lugh look at her before asking for some advice about what to do in regards to his deck.
"I would say that you should restructure it with some of the cards from this world." She said giving him some advice.
Thinking about his knowledge of the world Lugh realized he knew nothing about this world.
"Hey is it okay if you could help me make a new entire deck?" He asked as he got up from the rock they were sitting on.
"I don't mind ,but are you sure you want a person you do not know anything about to help you rebuild your deck?" She said in a cautious tone getting up and patted her skirt.
"Well you told me about your life before this so let me tell you mine." He said as started talking about his past life and how he came to this world after the card game he was playing also became their own little style in this world.
After Rio was told all this she was intrigued and saddened to know that the cards he had had no coalition to the card game she had been playing all her life and how his life was cut short.
"I'm sorry to hear that you passed on from your past life in a terrible manner." She said while trying to think of a way to comfort his past experience.
"It's fine Rio...sure it was shocking to wake up in a new body ,with a deck that had the three Paladin Clans and another deck that I hadn't had the time to check, but so far everything has been a novel experience." Lugh said while shrugging gis shoulders and held out his right hand.
"Let's make the best life possible in this new world we're apart of together." He said with a smile as Rio looked at his extended hand before giving him a genuine smile and shook it.
"Yes let's have a good life in this new world we have become a part of together." She said as they started walking back to the center of the island to head towards their respected dorms.
After Lugh walked with Rio to the Ra girls dormitories they agreed to renovate his deck to match the standards for this worlds current format on the Saturday that was coming up.
As he entered the Slifer Red cafeteria he saw that the food that was being served were the same food he had this morning.
Shaking his head he headed to his room to look for his backpack that he had when woke up in the helicopter.
After finding it he saw that their were even more cards he could use for the Paladin deck and a few cards that seemed to match with this world's standards.
Taking out his PDA he saw that he had a icon that said DP.
After looking up what DP was he learned that he could use it to buy cards, packs, foods, clothes, appliances, and other goods such as building materials.
After seeing this he checked to see his own DP and saw that he had 362 DP.
Interested he look up how to earn DP and saw that he could earn them through winning Duels against other Duelist and that it fluctuates based on how the person he beats compared to his own standing.
With the information in mind he decided that starting tomorrow he would Duel as much as he could without using the XYZ Summoning method to make himself not stand out as much as he already has.
And with those thoughts in mind he decided to sleep not noticing his Paladin Deck shining while the deck he had never looked into yet had a red glow coming from it before they both stopped.
The Next Day
After waking up Lugh skipped breakfast and went around finding people to Duel before the start of school started.
(I'm going to skip these Duels and just say how many Duelists' he beat from each student colors.)
After running around the academy for a half and Dueling his classmates and a few older students who wanted to Duel against his Paladins Lugh looked at his PDA and checked his DP.
DP: 2013
Thinking back he faced three other Slifer Red students, eight Ra Yellow students with two of them being a year above him, and finally four Obelisk Blue students who wanted to Duel him for ownership of his Deck.(The were the ones who he beat in his first or second turn.)
Growing tired he stopped by the card shop to rest and see what they had on stock.
"Haaaa" Lugh breathed out in exhaustion as he was leaning against the check out counter.
Noticing his exhausted look the girl Lugh had met at the counter to ask what they had went over and asked if he was alright.
"Yeah...it's just I skipped breakfast and ran around the academy to Duel as many other students as I could to earn DP." He said as he started to regain his energy.
"While I know how important DP is you shouldn't neglect your own health." She said reprimanded him for his lack of foresight.
"Yeah yeah I know, but the more DP I have the more likely I can get food that won't effect my health and be able to get materials to help fix up the Slifer dormitories." He said as he looked at the girl from the counter before coming to a realization.
"Hey I didn't get your name did I." He said with a thoughtful look.
"...Are you hitting on me." She said in a bland and annoyed tone while crossing her arms under her chest.
"While you are a beautiful girl I'm not interested in being in a relationship at this current time." Lugh said while waving his right hand dismissively, not noticing the look of confusion directed his way.
"Your not?" She said confused while muttering "And calling me beautiful with a straight face without any hesitation." As Lugh got off the counter he was leaning on.
"Yeah so can I get your name...also my name is Lugh Frau a first year at Duel Academy and a Slifer Red." He said looking at his PDA.
Staying silent for a bit she coughed into her fist before giving him her name "My name is Seiko Shirozaiaku a second year Slifer Red student that works at this card shop to earn extra money before I graduate." Seiko said before looking back at the shop and looked at the clock.
"It's getting close to the start of the first class so you should hurry to class." She said as Lugh was looking at his PDA and noticed the time before closing it and looked at Seiko.
"Thanks for the reminder Seiko." He said walking to the entrance of the shop before turning around and gave her a smile "I'll see you around the card shop a lot considering I might need more cards for my deck." He said before running to his first class.
Seiko P.O.V
After Lugh left the shop I headed to the back and saw Ms.Dorothy handling some boxes.
As I was about to go assist her a voice called out behind me.
"That boy had a remnant of the child who sealed me away in his body." It said as it spoke in a disembodied voice.
Looking around me I noticing Ms.Dorothy was frozen and that a bird that was perched by the window was frozen mid flight.
"What do you want this time." I said in an indifferent tone.
"Become close to the boy so that I may free myself from the chains placed on myself." They said as I could feel the temperature in the room heat up.
"And what will you do to him?" I asked as the room started to boil.
"I shall consume his soul to once more walk among mortals to rule this world!" It yelled in exasperation as the room shook with his voice as I stood still with a expressionless face.
"And what of our agreement." I said as they stopped yelling and calmed down and I felt a phantom hand caress my cheek.
"You will be free from it and stand under me as I enslave this world." It said before everything went back to normal.
Putting on a cheery expression I asked Ms.Dorothy if she wanted me to help her.
At first she told me that she could handle it while I should head to class but in the end I helped her with the boxes and after we were done she told me I am a good kid for helping her despite me having classes.
I gave her a smile as she exited the storage room before I dropped the fake nice girl face I had one while thinking about her words.
"Your a good child for helping this old maiden with her work Seiko."
"He...I'm not a good person...your just a person fooled by a fake person." I said bitterly before exiting the storage room with the fake nice girl face back on.
First Year Classroom
As classes were going on a handful of students were looking at Lugh with various degrees of looks with some curious about his Paladins while some were giving him hateful stares for beating them within a single turn before leaving swiftly onwards to other students.
"Now can someone tell me how to Ritual Summon Black Luster Soldier..." Dr. Crowler asked trying to pick out a student that wasn't paying attention.
After looking for a moment he saw Lugh was slowly nodding off next to Jaden and Syrus.
"Mr.Frau would you mind telling us how to Ritual Summon Black Luster Soldier." He said trying to humiliate him in front of the class.
After being called apon Lugh quickly regained his focus before he answered hesitantly.
"Youuuuu send monsters from your hand or field to the graveyard..." He said while trying not to sound like he wasn't paying attention to the class.
"Indeed...and what card do you need specifically to Summon it?" Dr.Crowler said with anger slowly entering his voice asking for a specific answer.
"Uhhhhh." Lugh said before giving up and answered "Well since you would need a specific card it would have to use a Spell card." He said make Crowler even angrier.
"WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE CARD USED TO SUMMON THE BLACK LUSTER SOLDIER!!!" Crowler yelled losing patience with him.
"...The Black Luster Soldier Ritual Spell card????" Lugh said after a small delay.
After Lugh answered Dr.Crowler stayed silent before calming down and coughed into his fist and looked at Lugh with a look of barely contained anger.
"Mr. Frau while that is very much close to the name of the Spell card I would advise you to answer the question with very specific answers." He said as the bell for his class ended as the students swiftly exited the classroom with only Dr.Crowler being the only one inside.
"Man being called apon to answer questions is hard." Lugh said as he walked with Jaden,Syrus,and Chumley around the school.
"Hey you did good with your answering back their Lugh." Jaden said as he tried to make him feel better.
"Yeah if I was up their I would be a stuttering mess." Syrus said encouraging him for how well he did.
"Yeah the way you made Dr.Crowler yell like a banshee was lishus...also are you going to eat your grilled cheese sandwich for lunch if not can I have it." Chumley said as they got to the cafeteria.
"Thanks for the vote in confidence and sure you can take my sandwich." Lugh said as they entered and got some food.
After they ate (Lugh ate some corn with hot sauce and cheese on it.) Jaden seemed to have remembered something.
Looking at Lugh eat his corn while taking sips from a glass of water Jaden asked him a question "Hey Lugh me,Syrus, and Chumley are going to look for the abandoned school dorm later tonight want to come with?" He asked before he took a bite out of his food.
As Lugh was about to answer he saw Rio looking at him before mouthing to come see her after he was done.
Blinking Lugh refocused his gaze on Jaden before replying "Sorry I already promised to meet up with a friend to help me manage my deck building skills." He said with a sincere voice feeling a little guilty.
After hearing his answer Jaden nodded before giving him a smile "That's fine dude if you have any free type in the future let's have a Duel!" He said with a grin.
Hearing his happy go lucky answer Lugh gave him a smile before eating the rest of his corn before the bell rang for the next class.
After school was over and handing some Obelisk Blue students a OTK Lugh walked to were he met Rio yesterday.
As he got closer to the oceanside he saw Rio gazing into the water. Seeing her like this Lugh just walked over and waited for her to be done with what she was doing.
After around twenty-five minutes Rio noticed him looking at his PDA sitting next to her and got a little startled "When did you get here?" She asked as he put away his PDA.
"I got here about twenty-five minutes ago." He said as he looked at her expecting the reason she wanted him to meet with her today.
Noticing his gaze Rio sighed before giving handing him some cards.
Confused Lugh looked at the before realizing she wanted him to look at them. Taking them into his hands he looked through each and every one of them and noticed they were mainly warrior type monster and spells.
"What are these for?" He asked as Rio sighed once more as she started to understand what type of person he was.
"They're some cards I bought that will help your deck blend in more as apposed to your overwhelming Paladins and their unique effects." She said as she sat up and started to walk away.
Realizing what she said Lugh got up and placed the cards into the side function of his attachment before catching up with her.
"You bought these?" He asked as he caught up to her.
"Yes I bought them after taking into account that you most likely do not have enough DP to buy most of these cards." She said as they returned to the main area of the island.
"Hey I've been Dueling some other students to earn DP so I'm sure I could have bought most of these cards." He said as he ducked underneath a branch that swung at him.
"The cheapest card in their costs about 2500 DP." She said as she heard him trip. Turning back she saw him on his knees after hearing the price.
"That much..." He said with a distraught look before getting up and took her hand and grasped it " I promise to pay you back for these cards you have graciously bought for me." He said as he let go after noticing the dark look she had when he held her hand.
"Let's just get back to the main area before we walk more about these cards." She said as he nodded and followed her out.
After they got back to the main central area they noticed that the sun was beginning to set.
Looking at it he nudged Rio to get her attention "What is it?" She asked as Lugh rubbed his head "I just want to thank you properly about those cards'." He said as Rio sighed for what felt like the tenth time since they met.
"It's not a issue for me." She said as she left to head to her dorm.
Confused he asked what she ment by that. Stopping she turned around before giving him a small grin "Look up the Kastle name and you'll understand." She said before walking away while he stood still in confusion before deciding to head back to the Slifer dorm.
After he got inside his room he took out the cards and looked through them and assembled them based on their use.
Marauding Warrior x3
The Warrior Returning Alive x2
Reinforcement of the Army x3
Drain Shield x2
After looking at each of their descriptions Lugh brought out his Paladin deck and the cards he found in his backpack "let's see what I can do with these cards." He said as he worked on his deck til the early morning as he fixed up his cards and put them away before deciding to go to sleep.
Only to wake up immediately when he heard a loud crash from a few doors down.
'Great what happened know.' He though as he went out and saw a scene he though was never going to happen.
Thank you for reading this story and tell me what you think.
The next Chapter will be Lugh Dueling Zane while Jaden,Syrus,Chumley,Alexsis,and Rio watch from the cliff head.
I'll update when I feel like I made it as realistic as possible.
