Starlight Academy: A Yu-Gi-Oh! Roleplay: (IC OPEN)

[The Dark Brotherhood of Deros]

DAY ONE - MAIN ENTRANCE - 2:30 PM
The sun shined brightly above Starlight Academy as hordes of students arrived at the school. Each one of them had come here to learn, and to duel, something that Professor Drew Roswell was hoping they would succeed in equally well. The Professor adjusted his glasses as he watched each student disembark from the ferry and walk on the island that contained the Academy building. Their ages ranged from ten to early twenties, and each of them carried a Duel disk and a bag of books.

Well... Almost all of them.

Drew's eyes were drawn to a young man with brown hair and a tan hoodie, with earbuds in his ears. His Duel Disk looked worn out (a clear sign that it had been used well), and he was only holding a single textbook. He would have to get a new Duel Disk from the school when his finally broke down... Which wouldn't be long from now by the looks of things. As for his textbooks... Well he would have to get more from the school as well.

"Checking up on the students are we Drew?" A voice asked him from behind. Drew turned to look at his fellow professor David Frederick approaching him, using his left hand to hold the lense of his glasses as he normally did. "I suppose that there are no trouble-makers?" David inquired as he stopped in front of Drew. "None that I can see for now." Drew replied. David nodded, glancing at the boy with the hoodie as he passed near them. "Look at that one there. The state of his Disk is deplorable! And it's an older model so I doubt it even has Pendulum Zones! Surely he could have gotten another one?" He asked, annoyance written all over his face.

Drew smirked at his fellow professor. "Does it really matter? If he's not playing a Pendulum deck I don't think that he would he need Pendulum zones. I think you're just annoyed because his Disk doesn't match up with the rest of the school's." He noted. David frowned slightly, his look now turning to Drew. "And why shouldn't I be? This school has a certain level of formality after all. It shocks me that he even made it in with that Disk."

David looked at the boy again, noticing the shining gleam of a Sliver badge reflecting the sun. "And as a Silver rank too! I swear our standards are getting lower every year!" He complained, earning a soft chuckle from Drew. "Well he probably earned that badge, so I wouldn't judge this book by it's Dule Disk if I were you." Drew said, earning a sigh from David. The younger professor then walked off while saying over his shoulder "Let's hope you're right!"

Drew smiled and continued to observe each student departing the ferry.
He had a good feeling about this year.

When Anthony got to Star Light Academy, he looked around in awe, no where in his life has he ever seen something so Grand. And when he walked by the teachers he overheard one teacher make fun of a fellow silver rank. He stopped and said,"Hey, I'd listen to your collegue if I were you, looks can be deceiving." Then he walked inside, and inside, he thought he went to Duelist's heaven. It had everything, from the latest sytate of the art hologram projectors, to the newest duel disk models. Sure, in his opinion they had nothing on his trusty duel disk 3000, but he didn't mock them.

"You sure that was a good idea? Talking back to teachers before you even start here officially?" His monster spirit said, it was the summoned skull itself.

"Eh, don't worry about it, they cant do anything to me because of the fact that officially, I'm not a student until orientation is completed." Anthony replied with a silent chuckle.

Declan walked into the school. He eyed the other students, professors, facility. He wondered if anyone here was a challenge for him. He considered himself a master at all forms of summoning. Sometimes he even wondered if he needed school. He wished he could just go pro at times. Someone her had to be some sort of challenge for him. This was a school after all, a place of learning. He sighed, he also had his other class to worry about besides Duel Monsters. It would be a long semester he thought.

Hearing Anthony talk back to him anoyed David greatly. And what exactly does he know?! Of course someone with that hairstlye would defend another person like him. He thought. He gave Athony a "hmph" and simply looked down at him with narrow eyes. "I don't believe I asked for your advice young man." He said in a calm yet commanding voice.

He looked the boy over with distain. His wild blue hair was not appealing whatsoever, and his older model of Dule Disk irritated David. This wasn't acceptable in his eyes, however the head director of Starlight Academy didn't seem to mind. "So... You're a Silver rank? Tell me, what is your name?" David inquired, inwardly sighing at the sight of that silver badge.

Meanwhile another Duelist was stepping off of the ferry. Zach Goodwin, the son of Duel Monsters legend Robert Goodwin, had arrived. He bore a confident smirk on his face as he rubbed his fingers against the gold of his badge which was shining brilliantly in the sunlight. This was going to be an interesting time here at Starlight, as he had already seen other Duelists who had been playing on the ride over.

Many of the Gold rank Duelists were extremly good, however there were also a few silver ranks that caught Zach's eye. Good or no, theyll still lose against me. After all; I don't lose. And if I do lose then it's a dream, because I don't lose. He thought to himself, extracting his signiture card Ignister Prominence, the Blasting Dracoslayer from his deck, and looking at it.

I've got this. Zach thought to himself as he walked past a Duelist wearing glasses and a scarf.

Ronin stepped off the ferry to Starlight Academy and looked around the school grounds. He could see other students and teachers milling about but in his mind he could only really see potential victims to his dueling prowess. The only reason he really came to this dueling school was to find worthy opponents to fight his Dark World deck, his monsters were growing tired of slaughtering weaklings Ronin found on the street. A school for duelist would certainly attract some attention from either those who wanted to become better or those who were already good.

It'll only be a matter of time before you're the top student of the school and have everyone begging for your mercy. Ceruli, Ronin's duel spirit, said.

Mercy? What's that, another word for coffin?" Ronin responded, which made Ceruli chuckle as he knew he guided Ronin well. His masters in the Dark World would be proud of what Ronin became. Ronin kept moving forward until he reached the area where all the students were to meet up.

Anthony didn't turn around when the teacher asked his name, he just stopped and said,"Anthony Lewis sir." Before he started walking again. When a gold ranked duelist passed by, he called out,"HEY! I challenge you to a duel! And before you say anything you were the first duelist I saw so I kinda had no choice."

"Careful with him Anthony," The summoned Skull said.

"When am I not careful?" Anthony replied, and after a second he then said, "Don't answer that."
(OOC: don't really care who, just wanna duel.)

Declan turned around, some student was challenging him to a duel! He smirked,
should I humiliate this child day 1? Perhaps it isn't worth my time he thought.

"Hey now!" a Professor stated running between the two. "No dueling until after the ceremony! Now onward to the Academy! "

Declan shrugged, turned, and continued on his way. He was searching for which students had confidence and which were cowards. Those that had confidence he would make his mission to release them of such an unnecessary thing.

[The Dark Brotherhood of Deros]

Another student was now getting off of the ferry, her long black hair being caught by the wind. Her name was Alice, and her spirit partern Carbo Crab was sitting on her shoulder and examining the large and imposing building that was Starlight Academy. Now that she was here, Alice was sure that she would enjoy her time in this place. Carbo Crab on the other hand just sighed and said: "Oh why did we come here again?"

Alice sighed and looked at the crab pirched on her shoulder. "I already told you; we're here to learn and to improve at Duel monsters. Isn't that a good thing?" She inquired, drawing another sigh from the crab. "I suppose so... Oh, but this place is just so HUGE! I'm bound to get lost in there!" Carbo exclaimed. Alice smiled. "Just stay near me and you'll be fine." She assured him.

As she was walking forward, another student emerged behind her. His name was Cameron Conners, and his spirit partner Pinaki was walking behind him and chattering away about how excited he was to be at the Academy at last. "Who knows; maybe I'll meet a harpie spirit here? They're vicious but GORGEOUS monsters! Maybe I'll get lucky?" The short bird creature suggested, earning a smirk from Cameron.

"You're always such a dreamer Pinaki." He said. Pinaki glared. "Hey I'm being serious! This could be my lucky day!" He insisted, letting out a caw afterward. Cameron simly shook his head and smiled. He was hoping that his stay here would be as good as Pinaki was hoping it would be, and maybe he would find a real challenge here.

Let's hope so. He thought.

Something was wet and slimy. It wasn't just any kind of slimy, it was somehow very familiar to Nora Vaulkreiter. It wasn't until the young troublemaker opened her eyes that she realized the issue was. She had fallen asleep on the floor and against the wall of the ferry, and now she no doubt made for quite the exotic sight. Using her arm to rub away the drool trailing down her mouth, she looked around to notice a surprising lack of students that had been trailing about before. However, she was just in time to notice the last of the congregation departing the ferry. Jumping up from her resting position, she made to go and rush out with the rest of the students arriving, all the while muttering to herself.

"Shit, shit shit." Nora grunted out as she ran to catch up with the others. Luckily, she made it just in time, and finally got off the ferry with the rest of the passengers. Unlike possibly some other students, Nora wasn't particularly impressed yet with the transportation nor what she'd been led to believe was the school. She'd had her fill of fancy academies and high end institutions of learning, she wasn't about to treat this place any different than others.

"Now. if only I could find out where I could get a smoke." She mused. Nora assumed there must be a school store, but highly doubted they would have what she wanted. No matter, she would find a way eventually, likely through letters to her friends back home.

Trailing along aimlessly with the rest of the student body, Nora pushed her way past some that were moving a bit too slow for her liking, and sought to just get to the area where students were supposed to gather.

Duel Arena 1 - 3:00 PM
It was time to meet the students. As the student body began filling the seats of the duel arena Headmaster Silas Roman was preparing for his talk. He wasn't nervous at all, however he couldn't help but hope things didn't go wrong. What could go wr-Wait don't say that. Silas thought, stopping himself from jinxing it. Silas brushed his black trench coat to remove any particles attached to it, and then went through the door to find himself before the student body of Starlight academy. Showtime.

Silas cleared his throat, and then spoke into a microphone that was in the middle of the arena. "Alright let's all quite down." He said, causing the students to quiet down. He continued. "Well then, allow me to introduce myself; I am Headmaster Roman, and I own this Academy that you've all been accepted into." He said.

"I'm sure you're all just dying to get started with the year, however we have a... Tradition here at the school." Silas took out a Duel Monsters card from his pocket and held it out in front of his face. "At the beginning of each school year we hold an introduction duel between two students as a spectacle for the whole school. Now I would ask for volunteers, but then there would probably be a riot. Instead two duelists will be chosen at random."

A list of students appeared on two giant screens on the walls of the arena, baring the names of each student. "Our first Duelist..." The first monitor displayed a name: Anthony Lewis. "And our second Duelist..." The second monitor too displayed a name: Ronin Marquis. "Are both students present?" Silas inquired.

Anhony stepped up to the arena and took his side. "I'm here sir!" Anthony said, waiting for Ronin while shuffling his deck. "So, what deck do you think Ronin'll play?" He thought.

"Don't know, but don't get too cocky, your deck may be powerful, but its not unbeatable, no deck s unbeatable." The summoned skull said to Anthony.

Ronin only laugh to himself as he saw his name appear on the monitor. He hadn't plan to display his deck this early in the school year but he figured it was for the best.

This way, the other students can see what they are dealing with, and figure out how to properly cowering fear. Ceruli said as Ronin walked up to the arena and prepared his duel disk.

Of course there will be the "brave" ones who will try to take me on, only to fail and be humiliated. But that's life, the strong prosper and the weak grovel. Ronin replied after he shuffled his deck and returned it to the holding slot.

"I hope you're ready to lose. This is the first duel of the year so I won't show off too much, but I still have to make this look good so try to hold out for at least a couple turns will ya." Ronin said Anthony.

"Oh don't worry about me, I'll be fine. It's you should be worried about yourself." Anthony smirked as the duel began. "My draw!" He yelled, drawing five cards. They were Muka-Muka, the dark magician, Rescue cat, premature burial, and elemental hero burstinatrix. "I'll start by playing muka-muka in attack mode (ATK 600 DEF 600), and since its attack and defense goes up with every card in my hand, it's attack and defence will be 1800!"

Muka-Muka 1800

"I end my turn." Anthony said

Ronin looked at his opponent’s starting monster and felt pretty confident about his starting hand. He had a Dark World Dealings, Goldd, Mystical Space Typhoon, Ceruli, and Foolish Burial for a start.

“I draw.” He said and drew another card, it was Silva. “First I activate Dark World Dealings. This makes both players draw one card then discard one card.” Ronin drew another card, which happened to be a Morphing Jar, then he discarded his Goldd.

Anthony sighed and drew one card, it was Toon World. Smirking, he discarded the Dark Magician.

“I discard Goldd from my hand, which activates his ability, he can be special summoned from the graveyard.”

Ronin summoned Goldd to the field with 2300 attack points. “Now I attack with Goldd to destroy your Muka-Muka.”

Goldd slice Muka-Muka in half with its’ scythe and dealt 500 points of damage to Anthony’s life points.

“I end my turn with a face down in my spells and trap zone, and a facedown monster.” Ronin finished.

“Anthony looked at Goldd and the face down monster. “I draw!” The silver rank yelled, he drew Hane-Hane. “First, I play premature burial to bring back my discarded Dark Magician! Dark Magician, return!” As he finished swirling on the field could be seen and the dark magician appeared in attack mode with its 2500 attack points. “Next I summon Burstinatrix to the field n defence mode!” With that a flaming whip could be seen, turning into Elemental Hero Burstinatrix with its 120 attack points.

Anthony LP: 3500-800= 2700

“Now, to make sure you don’t have any tricks up your sleeve, Dark Magician, destroy his Goldd!” Anthony commanded, the dark magician then pointed its staff towards the opposing monster and it was destroyed, dealing 200 points of damage to Ronin’s life points.

“I end my turn.” Anthony stated.

Ronin LP: 4000-200= 3800

“Well that was a bit annoying, I was hoping to go through this duel without a scratch. Anyway, I draw!” The gold ranking student stated. He drew Gateway to the Dark World. Ronin’s plan was slowly coming together and he figure he could win this duel soon.

“First I activate Foolish Burial from my hand, this allows me to send one card from my hand to the grave, and I choose one of my Graphas. Then I activate Gateway to the Dark World, which allows me to special summon a Dark World monster from my grave and I summon back the Grapha I just sent. Now Grapha, destroy his Dark Magician!” Grapha smashed Anthony’s Dark Magician with it’s 200 ATK point lead.

Anthony LP: 2700-200= 2500

“Your turn, let’s see if you’ve got anything that can beat one of my best monsters.” Ronin said in a very cocky tone, acting as if he had already won.

“OK, I draw!” Anthony yelled, starting to sweat a little. As he draw, he saw it was Trap Hole. Smirking, he said, ”Ok, I place one card face down in my spell/trap zone, then I place one monster face down and end my turn.”

“I draw!” Ronin drew a Dicelops, which only added to his advantage, but I could also be used against him since he didn’t have anything in his hand besides Silva. “First I’m going to get rid of you facedown with my Mystical Space Typhoon that I set earlier. The Mystical Space Typhoon activated and created a vortex, which revealed Anthony’s facedown to be a Trap Hole that was soon destroyed.

“Next I summon Dicelops to the field and activate its’ ability. As the name might suggest it rolls a die and depending on what comes up the effect differs.” A die was cast and came up as a 3. “A 3, this ability makes me discard one card. Since I only have one, I discard Silva to the grave, and he’s can be special summoned from the grave if he’s discarded. Now I think it’s time to wrap this up. Dicelops, destroy that Burstinatrix, and Silva attack the facedown.”

Anthony smirked when Ronin had Silva attack his face down Hane-Hane, “Thank you, you just sent Silva back to your hand, since the face down you attacked was Hane-Hane, i will send it back to your hand and negate any damage it would take. When Burstinatrix was destroyed, Anthony didn’t take any damage.

“It was in defense mode anyway so you wouldn’t have taken damage.” Ronin replied. “But I will admit that it is pretty annoying Silva is sent back to my hand. However, you neglected the bigger threat. Grahpa is still here and you don’t have any monsters on the field, looks like this duel is done. Grapha, end him!”

Grapha attacked Anthony directly, bringing his lifepoints down to zero and winning Ronin the duel.

Grapha attacked Anthony directly, bringing his lifepoints down to zero and winning Ronin the duel.

As the duel ended, Anthony sighed inwardly, but smiled outwards, "Good duel. If I just hadn't somehow forgotten about your Grapha, I would have probably still been in this. And yes, I agree that being against Hane-Hane is very annoying. I hated being against it when I didn't have one." Anthony said, walking back to the crowd. He knew types like Ronan, people like him would never return a handshake so he didn't offer one.

"told you not to be too cocky." The summoned skull joked as it re-appeared

Dark Magician, return!” As he finished swirling on the field could be seen and the dark magician appeared in attack mode with its 2500 attack points. “Next I summon Burstinatrix to the field n defence mode!” With that a flaming whip could be seen, turning into Elemental Hero Burstinatrix with its 120 attack points.

Anthony LP: 3500-800= 2700

“Now, to make sure you don’t have any tricks up your sleeve, Dark Magician, destroy his Goldd!” Anthony commanded, the dark magician then pointed its staff towards the opposing monster and it was destroyed, dealing 200 points of damage to Ronin’s life points.

“I end my turn.” Anthony stated.

Ronin LP: 4000-200= 3800

“Well that was a bit annoying, I was hoping to go through this duel without a scratch. Anyway, I draw!” The gold ranking student stated. He drew Gateway to the Dark World. Ronin’s plan was slowly coming together and he figure he could win this duel soon.

“First I activate Foolish Burial from my hand, this allows me to send one card from my hand to the grave, and I choose one of my Graphas. Then I activate Gateway to the Dark World, which allows me to special summon a Dark World monster from my grave and I summon back the Grapha I just sent. Now Grapha, destroy his Dark Magician!” Grapha smashed Anthony’s Dark Magician with it’s 200 ATK point lead.

Anthony LP: 2700-200= 2500

“Your turn, let’s see if you’ve got anything that can beat one of my best monsters.” Ronin said in a very cocky tone, acting as if he had already won.

“OK, I draw!” Anthony yelled, starting to sweat a little. As he draw, he saw it was Trap Hole. Smirking, he said, ”Ok, I place one card face down in my spell/trap zone, then I place one monster face down and end my turn.”

“I draw!” Ronin drew a Dicelops, which only added to his advantage, but I could also be used against him since he didn’t have anything in his hand besides Silva. “First I’m going to get rid of you facedown with my Mystical Space Typhoon that I set earlier. The Mystical Space Typhoon activated and created a vortex, which revealed Anthony’s facedown to be a Trap Hole that was soon destroyed.

“Next I summon Dicelops to the field and activate its’ ability. As the name might suggest it rolls a die and depending on what comes up the effect differs.” A die was cast and came up as a 3. “A 3, this ability makes me discard one card. Since I only have one, I discard Silva to the grave, and he’s can be special summoned from the grave if he’s discarded. Now I think it’s time to wrap this up. Dicelops, destroy that Burstinatrix, and Silva attack the facedown.”

Anthony smirked when Ronin had Silva attack his face down Hane-Hane, “Thank you, you just sent Silva back to your hand, since the face down you attacked was Hane-Hane, i will send it back to your hand and negate any damage it would take. When Burstinatrix was destroyed, Anthony didn’t take any damage.

“It was in defense mode anyway so you wouldn’t have taken damage.” Ronin replied. “But I will admit that it is pretty annoying Silva is sent back to my hand. However, you neglected the bigger threat. Grahpa is still here and you don’t have any monsters on the field, looks like this duel is done. Grapha, end him!”

Grapha attacked Anthony directly, bringing his lifepoints down to zero and winning Ronin the duel.

As the duel ended, Anthony sighed inwardly, but smiled outwards, "Good duel. If I just hadn't somehow forgotten about your Grapha, I would have probably still been in this. And yes, I agree that being against Hane-Hane is very annoying. I hated being against it when I didn't have one." Anthony said, walking back to the crowd. He knew types like Ronan, people like him would never return a handshake so he didn't offer one.

"told you not to be too cocky." The summoned skull joked as it re-appeared

As Anthony left the stage, Ronin pulled his headphones over his ears and started walking back to the crowd of students. Before he got there he said to the headmaster "I just set a very high bar for the other students to reach, try to be happy I made things a little more interesting." With that said, Ronin went back to the crowd of students and just started listening to his music.

With the duel now over Silas smiled. "Hmm. A nice way to start the year off wouldn't you agree?" He asked the student body, earning a few cheers from it. Zach simply rolled his eyes. That Anthony kid got stomped. Why would you not bounce back Grapha?! Whatever... He thought. If it were him out there he would have sent that Ronin packing. Meanwhile Silas simply nodded at Ronin, although he didn't quite like his tone of voice.

"And with that you all have the rest of the day to duel and talk with others as you please. Classes start tomorrow at 8:00 AM, so don't be late. With that I will bid you all adieu." Silas said, giving the students a bow, and then walking out of the room to find Professor Frederick waiting for him. "Ah David, what can I do for you?" Silas inquired. David had a slight frown on his face. "It's simply that... Oh... Nevermind. I'm just wondering if our ranking system is accurate is all." He said, earning a sigh from Silas.

"You don't think Anthony should be silver do you?" Silas asked. David sighed. "Look at him! He's hardly presentable with that hair! And there are others like him who are gold students! Have we no dignity?" He inquired. Silas simply shook his head. "One's outward appearance means nothing David. I think we've had this conversation before and it ended the same way as it will now. I'm not demoting anyone and that's final. Now if you'll excuse me?" Silas walked past David and bid him farewell.

David sighed at the floor and then made his way to his office shaking his head the whole way.

Meanwhile back in the Duel Arena a student by the name of Marcus was approaching Anthony. "Hey there. That wasn't too bad of a duel." He said, giving his fellow Silver rank a smile.

Meanwhile back in the Duel Arena a student by the name of Marcus was approaching Anthony. "Hey there. That wasn't too bad of a duel." He said, giving his fellow Silver rank a smile.

"Heh, thanks." Anthony said, rubbing the back of his head. "Anyways, i'm Anthony, and if I didn't forget about that darn Dragon I probably would have won. I just get so entrenched into the duel I do that I usually focus on the monsters that I can attack, and I guess Grapha slipped my mind. But I digress, whats your name?"

"And that's why you're not a gold rank, I always told you, focus on all the cards on the field, not just the ones that can be destroyed." The summoned skull said.

"Yeah yeah, next time I duel him, he wont get a chance to attack with Dapha." Anthony replied to hs duel spirit, full of confidence. The summoned Skull just sighed.

Meanwhile, Proffessor Dustin Xinconi saw the duel and pinched his nose. He had to agree with David, if Anthony was a silver duelist, then he shuddred to think how bad the bronze duelists would be. Though he was surprised that the silver rank could deal damage to the gold rank.

Marcus held out his hand to shake Anthony's. "Marcus William. Pleased to meet you Anthony." He said, a huge grin on his face. "And I get what you're saying. I've been known to do stupid things like that too. Maybe we can both learn no to do that during our time here?"

Meanwhile Cameron was looking over this Ronin kid. He's cocky. That attitude will get him in trouble. He thought, glancing over to Pinaki, who was staring at him. Maybe... But he's got a spirit partner with him. I can feel it. The bird said. Now that is interesting... Thought Cameron. He'd have to keep an eye on this one.

Declan watched the duel play out. He was not entertained. Mesmerizing those student's faces he would note that neither of them would be worth his time dueling.
Perhaps I might get a challenge out of the professors? He thought Naw, probably only challenge here is the Headmaster. If only I could get a chance to duel him.

Declan grabbed his stuff and carried on going to his dormitory and so he can prepare for class the next day. He was one of the few students that had classes in 4 different forms of summoning. Fusion, XYZ, Pendulum, Synchro. He was confident he could ace all of his classes.

"Hey, yeah, hope so." Anthony said to Marcus. "Anyways, what do you think of this place so far? I, myself, think its pretty cool, if only I could bring all of my duel monster cards."

Meanwhile Proffessor Xinconi watched the other students, one student with white hair and a scarf caught his eye. Shaking his head he waled back to his office.

Marcus pondered that question for a moment before answering. "This place? Eh, it's pretty sweet I guess. A little big but that's okay." He said. Just then Alice walked by the two boys, drawing Marcus's attention. He blushed a little bit before shaking his head clear. "On second thought this place just got a whole lot better." He noted, chuckling slightly after that.

Alice in the meantime was looking around the school trying to familiarize herself with its layout. Carbo was shaking as he glanced around the hallway they were in. "M-maybe we should go back to the arena?" He suggested, earning a giggle from Alice. "Don't be silly Carbo! We're going to be fine." She assured the crab. He sighed but didn't say another word.

Kazuya

He wasn't about to lie to himself, the building was incredible, certainly more impressive than anything he'd ever had the pleasure to live in and, hopefully, his residence would be better than it had been in that god-awful orphanage he'd been stuck in for so long.

"Ooh, neat, I kinda like it here."

The small orange dragon wrapped around his shoulders seemed to like the place, however intimidating it was, so that was a plus, although not much of one, considering that he didn't feel the same way, hand, out of force of habit, travelling up to his chest and fiddling with the dragon pendent around his neck.

It is a pretty big place, and it looks nice enough. Hopefully it's as good as the brochure made it sound, I'm really not up for some minimal accommodations.

He barely paid attention to the two dueling in front of them, not particularly caring. Dueling was an entertaining hobby, and little more than that.

"I wonder if there's any food here."

What, you don't even eat!

"But you do. And you're getting hungry, aren't you? We should find you something to eat!" As if on cue, Kazuya's stomach growled quietly, the small dragon flicking its tail in response, happy to offer such sage advice for free.

That's true...

Once the duel was over, Kazuya stood up and stretched, glancing around to see if there were any rooms that, in particular, looked like a cafeteria. Or, if that wasn't available, he was sure that he could swipe something from the kitchens...

The next morning Declan walked through the halls of the school. He would have to quickly memorize the layout of the school.

"Hey!" some girly voice shouted

Declan turned around to see some girl with ears on headbands and an umbrella walk over to him.

"You are a Gold Student right?" She asked.

"Yes, are you bronze?" he answered.

"No, I'm silver, but it seems we have Fusion Studies with Professor Stein together! Oh I love fusion summoning!" She said in Giddy.

Declan walked into the classroom with a sigh, the professor was writing some notes on the chalkboard, he himself looked like something fused together.

"Alright Class, I'm Professor Stein. I'm the head of the Fusion wing and I need to know some each of your different skill level in Fusion summoning."
