bopdog111: First off so sorry these gotten removed. We have settled what issues we had with these now.
Ulrich362: True, I might have been overly enthusiastic but we're slowing them down a bit.
bopdog111: Last we left off, Barrett just pulled Jaden, and Yuri away after the match between the former, and Alexis.
Ulrich362: True, but for what reason?
bopdog111: Well we will see here alongside some other things.
Ulrich362: Makes sense to me, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or ARC-V but we own any OCs!
Right now Jaden, and Yuri are following Barrett with him to the Professor's office. He said there not in trouble but Jaden is a bit confused if there not wondering why there heading with him. Plus with the kind of guy he is learning from the Professor, he is also a little afraid to be meeting him himself. Yuri himself is curious himself but has a small smirk to be meeting the Principal of the Academy himself wondering what kind of man he is.
"Now I fully expect you both to show the Professor the proper respect." Barrett told them. "Am I clear?"
"Yes sir." Jaden nodded with a salute while Yuri just nodded.
Nodding Barrett led them to an office where they walked in to see Leo Akaba, and Zane.
"Jaden Yuki and Yuri, we've been expecting you." Leo Akaba noted calmly.
"So your the Professor?" Jaden asked curiously seeing him.
"That's correct, and I've heard of your dueling talent Mr. Yuki and other than your most recent duel I see quite a bit of potential in you." Leo Akaba nodded. "You're a very skilled duelist, anyone can see that much."
"If I can ask... aren't me, and Yuri in trouble?" Jaden asked him confused. "Mr. Barrett seen me, and Yuri at the Girl's Dorm."
"No, you're not in trouble... though don't make this a regular occurrence." Leo Akaba told him calmly before standing up. "I'm considering candidates for an elite group here at the academy... a group that doesn't rely on rank and at the moment you three are at the top of my candidate list."
"Elites huh?" Yuri grinned from this before then turning to Zane. "And who's this one?"
"This is Zane Truesdale, the current top student at the academy." Leo Akaba answered as Zane just calmly nodded. "Now, I haven't chosen you three though this elite group will receive... special instruction and assignments from me in addition to your normal schoolwork."
"What kind of assignments?" Zane asked him.
"Special duels both on and off the island, among other assignments as they become necessary." he replied. "You three possess remarkable dueling talent which is why I'm considering you for this position."
"Oh duels? Alright sign me up! Where do we start?" Jaden grinned at that excited at having to duel.
"You aren't part of this group yet, I came to say I'll be observing your duel in the upcoming promotion exams... and make my decision then. The only one who's already earned a spot in this group is Zane, a remarkable dueling record with no losses to his name. Only victories unlike you and Yuri." Leo Akaba noted turning to the purple-haired boy.
Yuri shrugged figuring the time to prove himself will come from this with closed eyes. He isn't bothered he isn't at the spot yet just needed to show he can earn it fair, and square which is what he will do.
"Now then, there is the matter of you both breaking the academy's rules." he told them with a frown. "I believe I have something fitting in mind."
"I thought you said we weren't in trouble." Jaden said confused.
"That depends, would you like to be excused from your classes once per week?" Leo Akaba asked. "If you'd rather go to class I can arrange a different punishment than what I had in mind."
"No no I'll take it." Jaden raised his hands agreeing to that one.
"Then once per week you two are to assist in the card shop, I trust you have no complaints?" he inquired.
"Sure." Jaden figured that's better then getting bored in class or whatever's next. "Yuri?"
"It's fine with me." Yuri shrugged that some honest work be good for them.
"Good, then I just have one more request... let your classmates know there won't be any classes tomorrow... instead there's going to be a required duel for all students to watch." he told them.
"What kind of duel?" Zane asked.
"A duel between two of your professors." Leo Akaba answered calmly. "You're dismissed."
They nodded walking off to head back to there dorms leaving just Barrett, and Leo Akaba in the office. Said first man turned over towards Leo Akaba, "I suppose this is the punishment Crowler will receive then?"
"It is, I assume you can handle dueling him?" Leo Akaba asked calmly.
"Yes Professor." Barrett saluted before suddenly the door was knocked. "Who is it?"
"Dr. Crowler." the knocker responded.
"Come in." Leo Akaba told him.
Dr. Crowler opened the door in his usual attire bowing and walked over taking a sec to glare at Barrett before reporting. "Professor, I'd like to report an incident of breach of discipline, and failure to act."
"You may say how."
"Barrett here had caught some students trespassing into the Obelisk Blue Girl's dorm, and instead of expelling them on the spot he brought them with him for something." Dr. Crowler explained to him. "I recommend him to be suspended immediately for failure to act, and breach of duty."
"He brought them here because I told him to, and if anyone is at risk of being suspended it would be you... attempting to manipulate students into breaking rules and failing to defeat a student despite using your own cards." Leo Akaba frowned. "I should have you removed from the island immediately."
"W-What?" Dr. Crowler asked shocked hearing that not only from Leo Akaba excusing the students but also finding out he used his real Deck in the Entrance Exam.
"I'm going to give you one chance... a duel tomorrow against Barrett." he continued. "If you win, I'll allow you to stay."
"Y-Yes sir." Dr. Crowler is willing to do what he can so he can stay nodding over.
"Good, you'll duel tomorrow." Leo Akaba stated calmly.
He softly nodded looking down as he walked out.
Meanwhile as Jaden and Yuri were walking back they noticed Syrus.
"Huh, Syrus? Were you waiting for us?" Jaden asked curiously.
"Well... I was worried for you two." Syrus admitted to them looking concerned. "What did the Professor want?"
"He wanted to have us assist in the card shop once a week." Yuri answered shrugging. "Oh, and there's going to be a mandatory duel tomorrow so let the rest of the Slifer students know will you?"
"Huh? A duel? A duel for us to see you two dueling as punishment?" Syrus is always letting his insecurities get the best of him.
"No, we're going to get to see two professors duel." Yuri smirked.
"Two Professors? Why?" Syrus asked wondering who is dueling.
"Don't know but it sounds exciting doesn't it?" Jaden grinned to him.
"Well, I guess so." Syrus nodded.
"Well, we'll see the duel tomorrow." Yuri smirked.
So they headed off both together to the Ra Yellow Dorm arriving back just as Bastion stepped out of the room, and notices them. "Ah Jaden I was getting concerned so I thought to see what had happened."
"It's a long story, I'll fill you in tomorrow on the way to the duel." Jaden smiled.
"A duel? What duel?" Bastion inquired hearing that.
"Two of our teachers are going to have a match, it's definitely going to be a sweet duel." Jaden smiled.
"Now it's getting late. Time for bed so we can see it on time." Yuri said to them before walking to head to his room knowing Sora is probably asleep by now.
"Sounds good to me." Jaden agreed. "Night Bastion."
"Good night." Bastion still confused nodding figuring time for bed would be a good idea.
Meanwhile...
"What do you girls think Mr. Barrett wants with them?" Jasmine asked after they all dressed heading to there rooms to get some sleep.
"I don't know, but it didn't sound like they were in trouble." Celina admitted to that before frowning. "Hey, Alexis can I ask you something?"
"Yes?" Alexis turned to her curiously.
"Do you mind if I spend the night with you, nothing against Grace and Gloria but well... they're a bit much for me." she requested.
Said woman shrugged while Alexis blinked from the request but nodded over. "Sure, you can spend the night Celina."
"Thanks." she smiled at that before they split up to go to their rooms.
After arriving Alexis blushed as Celina sees some stuff animals around the room.
"I didn't expect that." she admitted putting her bag in the corner. "They look kind of cute I guess?"
"Sorry, I know it's silly." Alexis apologized thinking it's weirding Celina out.
"It's not silly, just not what I expected that's all." Celina mentioned. "Well, goodnight Alexis."
"Thanks... goodnight." Alexis smiled to her before moving to lay down to bed.
Celina did the same but made sure not to get too close as she closed her eyes only to frown as a familiar smirking face appeared in her mind all night.
The next morning...
Everyone was gathering at Obelisk Arena wondering about the mandatory duel they were informed out. They are curious what this duel is about, and are gonna find out soon but are still of course from a duel between Professors. Maybe something to show off, or to give them some motivation to be better. At least that's what most of the students think while some such as the 'elites' from Obelisk thinks it is only a waste of time, they know there already better they don't need to see a duel with that lesson.
"Who do you think is going to be dueling, Professor Sartyr?" Sora asked as he put a lollipop in his mouth.
"I'm not sure. Probably Barrett, I haven't seen him duel." Sartyr admitted to him.
"Oh, I guess you're not dueling." Sora admitted having not seen the head of the Ra Yellow dorm.
"Huh, is that Dr. Crowler?" Jaden asked in surprise.
Indeed Dr. Crowler was there with Barrett. Leo Akaba cleared his throat announcing. "Sorry for the sudden duel everyone. We are here for a disciplinary high stakes duel between Vellian Crowler, and Barrett. If Crowler loses he will be fired."
"Fired?" Dennis asked in shock. "That's a bit extreme for losing one match."
"Are both of you ready?"
"Yes Professor." Barrett nodded that he's ready.
"I am, and as the professor with more seniority I'll allow Barrett to take the first turn." Dr. Crowler offered.
"Alright... you may begin now!"
"DUEL!" With that Leo Akaba went to join the other professors.

"And I fuse Panther Warrior with Dark Sentinel!" Barrett raised two cards as Panther Warrior, and a small black drone flew into the portal.
"O ferocious black panther, merge together with the watchman of the holy darkness, and raise a new war cry! Fusion Summon! Come forth and appear. Beastborg Panther Predator!"

He added the two cards before discarding one. "With that done, I'll attack your Beastborg with my Ancient Gear Dark Golem! Dark Mechanized Melee!"
The Golem charged in as Barrett takes a card. "You may prevent Spells, and Traps but not monsters like this one!" He reveals a monster in his hand. "By sending Support Sentient from my hand to the graveyard, the damage I would take is cut in half!" Panther Predator yowled as it was destroyed which Barrett raised an arm. (Barrett: 3300/Hand: 0)
"Clever, he got around Dr. Crowler's ability with a monster effect." Bastion noted.
"You managed to lower the damage but you have no monsters and no cards in your hand." Dr. Crowler pointed out ending his turn.

"Huh?" Barrett blinked as the Golem was sacrificed to a bomb that was launched over in front of Barrett detonating revealing him on a knee.

Dr. Crowler wins!
Dr. Crowler smirked but internally he was letting a huge sigh of relief before turning to Leo Akaba. "I trust that was to your satisfaction Professor?"
Frowning he nodded. "Yes, but we need to talk about a few things... you can keep your job for now though."
"Whoa that was sweet! Teach is definitely tough!" Jaden grinned seeing this excited. "That other guy is pretty sweet too though, there both amazing!"
"That's why they're the ones teaching us." Yuri noted only to pause seeing Zane turn and walk off. 'Hm, I wonder what he's up to... perhaps I'll have to look into that when I have the opportunity.'
Zane walked around until he found who he was looking forward. Former Chancellor Sheppard who is managing some papers.
"Ah Zane, I was hoping to see you, how have you been this year?" Sheppard inquired.
"Been doing alright. I was surprised that you been replaced as Chancellor by the Professor." Zane admitted to him crossing his arms. "And already he's proving why by changing Duel Academy quite a bit with new dorms, removing Prep Schooling as a requirement for Obelisk, and bringing someone like Barrett."
"True, he's changing things and for now they seem to be mostly beneficial... though what do you think of everything?" Sheppard asked him. "Especially after that last duel I can't help but have some concerns."
"I have to admit, it does make sense, and is beneficial. Removing Prep School as a requirement, and dueling as the sole example for choosing rank is a logical choice as this is a school of Dueling, and let your skills decide the rank." Zane explained over before he turned back to the arena. "Then there is the dorms for the Girls on Slifer, and Ra which was needed for a long time. But there is something not setting right as he had chosen me, Jaden, and Yuri for a elite group to handle tasks outside of the Academy."
"I see, and it seems he's trying to turn Duel Academy into a more militarized school as well... Barrett's deck only reinforced that image to me. I'm concerned for the students." Sheppard admitted.
"Should you talk about this with Mr. Kaiba?" Zane suggested.
"Without any evidence no, and the benefits to Duel Academy can't be understated... still I can't help but worry about what's going to happen in the future." he admitted before turning to Zane. "Be careful Zane, I have a feeling things are going to be even more different than we can imagine."
Zane nodded as they turned back to the arena with that in thought knowing things are gonna move more.
bopdog111: And that's another filler done with us seeing Barrett in action.
Ulrich362: True, for the first but definitely not the last time. And also it sounds like Sheppard is having doubts about Leo Akaba's motivations... even if he is doing good things for Duel Academy.
bopdog111: Maybe it probably be best to leave him alone?
Ulrich362: Probably. Though next up, well we have a lot of duels coming up.
bopdog111: The promotion exams.
Ulrich362: Yup, and we're going to start the exams off with a... very even duel actually. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
