Chapter 1: A New Breed of Duelist

Welcome to Domino City, home of some of the most famous duelists in the world. It's also home to the Kaiba Dome where the next generation of duelists try out to get into the best dueling school in the world: Duel Academy.

Meanwhile in the city, a young duelist was on his way to do just that. The only problem was that he was running late. He was tearing through the streets, trying to get to the dome before the exams were over. He had short, almost puffy brown hair with a light brown top and brown eyes. He was wearing a black jacket, a red t-shirt, blue jeans, and white and red sneakers. He was currently muttering to himself, going over what he had and his feelings over the situation.

"Okay, I've got my deck, got my gear, and about two minutes to get to the entry exams before they start," The duelist, known as Jaden Yuki, panted as he ran. "At least since I'm not a student, they can't throw in me detention for being late."

He laughed a little at the thought, before sobering up. 'I'm only going because my parents are sending me there. It's just another boarding school they're dumping me off at.' He thought, unconsciously running faster when he felt a weight in his chest.

He was weaving between pedestrians as he ran, barely avoiding them as he went.

Unfortunately, he didn't see a familiar looking man with spiky tri-colored hair wearing old Domino High uniform walking in front of him until it was too late to fully stop.

"Look out!" Jaden called as he tried to stop. Unfortunately, he ended up colliding with the man in front of him, falling backwards and having his cards scattered all over the ground.

"Sorry!" He said quickly, turning to pick up his cards.

The man looked at him a moment before speaking. "You're a duelist, aren't you?"

Jaden turned to answer as he got all his cards picked up. "Oh, yeah, I'm just going to the tryouts for Duel Academy."

The man smiled, his hand reaching into his deck case and taking out a card. "You don't say."

"Yeah," Jaden got up and, when he looked at the man, finally recognized him. "Hey, you're…" before he could finish he was interrupted.

"Why don't you take this? Something just tells me that it belongs with you." The King of Games said, giving Jaden the card.

Jaden was amazed. Here was Yugi Muto, The King of Games, giving him a card. "For real?" He asked, still not believing it.

As he looked at the card, Yugi started to walk away. "Good luck."

"Oh, hey wait!" Jaden called out. "Thank you! I'll make you proud!" He promised and bowed in respect.

Yugi stopped for a moment, then he turned and smiled at Jaden, giving him his signature thumbs up before starting on his way again.

Jaden stared after him for a moment, before he finally took a look at the card he was given. It looked like Yugi's Kuirboh only with little white wings. The card read Winged Kuriboh and it had a pretty handy effect.

Suddenly, he heard a soft 'coo' sound, startling him. 'What was that?' Jaden wondered, looking around for the source of the noise.

As he did, he caught sight of a clock and noticed the time. "Oh no! The exams!" Jaden took off again, sliding the Winged Kuriboh card into his deck case.

Kaiba Dome

The dome was huge and full of duelists. Some were already students while others were eager applicants ready to try out for Duel Academy.

"Once again, all Duel Academy applicants who passed their entrance exams, please report to registration. For those who haven't, better luck next year." Came a monotone voice over the PA system.

'Yes, and have fun at Duel Monsters community college.' Thought a very snide individual sitting with the teachers.

This person had long blond hair in a ponytail, beady little eyes, and pale skin. Even sitting down, he's a tall and skinny man. While the text says male, that's questionable since he's wearing purple lipstick and his teacher's uniform had pink ruffles on the shoulders. His name's Dr. Crowler, head of the Obelisk blue dorm and vice chancellor of Duel Academy. He was not a nice person.

On one of the duel fields, a proctor had just summoned a purple, caterpillar like creature that attacked the opponent directly, who was a kid with light blue hair and silver eyes with glasses wearing a blue school uniform.

'Oh man, I can barely concentrate with all these academy kids staring at me, judging me. What I wouldn't give to already be enrolled into the school like they are.' He thought nervously as he looked up at the stands where students stood watching the duels.

There was another duel going on on a different field. This kid, a girl, had back length black hair in a ponytail, honey brown eyes, and pale skin. She was wearing a pale yellow blouse, a green knee length skirt, white and yellow striped tights, and green boots. Her name was Bella Rose Misawa, though you could call her by either name.

Her opponent had nothing on his side of the field and only 1000 life points left. Meanwhile, Bella was armed with a Violet Witch (1100/1200) and it was her turn.

"Since you have no monsters on your field, I believe it's time to end this! Violet Witch, attack!" The purple spellcaster took aim with her staff, and fired a powerful bolt of magic at her adversary.

The proctor's life points fell to zero and he smiled. "Well done, Bella Rose Misawa. Welcome to Duel Academy."

The girl pouted slightly but bowed. "You don't need to use both names. But thank you."

She walked out and glanced at another field where a boy with similar features to her was dueling.

"Go get 'em, Big Bro!" She smiled.

On another dueling field was a girl with very pale skin, long black hair with bangs, and silver eyes. She's also very skinny due to a high metabolism. She wears a (fake) black leather jacket done in a trendy punk style, with a black and white zebra striped top, black super skinny jeans, and blood red sneakers. Her name was Azura Truesdale.

Her duel was heading towards a similar conclusion to Bella's, except her monster was Magician's Valkyria (1600/1800).

"Alright, Magician's Valkyria, attack him directly!" The magician fired a blast of charged magic at her opponent, ending the duel.

The proctor snorted. "Welcome to Duel Academy, Azura Truesdale."

Azura smiled for a second before leaving. She looked over at the duel field where the blue haired boy was dueling. His duel seemed to have ended with him as the victor, making her sigh in relief. She then glanced over her shoulder at the other side of the arena, where an older boy was standing.

'We're students now, Cous', like it or not.' With that, she headed up to the place where she and her other cousin had agreed to meet.

Another applicant, a boy this time, was about to end his duel. He had soft, short brown hair, creamy skin, and light brown eyes. He's about 5'6" and is described by most of the female population as muscular and sexy. He wears a blue t-shirt with white basketball shorts and blue vans. His name was Eric Rhodes.

He had the one and only Red-Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000) on his side of the field while his opponent had a little Fox Fire (300/200) on his side. I think we can all guess how this ends.

"Red-Eyes, finish this!" The dragon attacked the fox and dropped the proctor's life points to zero.

The proctor nodded in approval. "Congratulations, Eric Rhodes. Welcome to Duel Academy."

Eric smiled. "Thank you."

As he left the field, the smile faded and turned into a serious look. 'Hopefully now I can finally get some answers.'

"Last call for all Duel Academy participants." came the voice of the PA system again.

Meanwhile, outside at the entrance, a man in a dark suit with sunglasses and two girls wearing the Ra yellow girl's uniform were looking around for any last minute applicants. After a few minutes, the man looked at his watch and made a decision.

"Well ladies, that's it. Mark all the no shows, no shows." He said and the girls started packing up, but they were stopped by a very familiar person.

"Wait! I'm no no show!" A voice shouted.

It came from the guard rail at the end of the parking lot in front of them, which confused them since beyond that was about an eight foot drop. The tree tops near it started to rustle a bit, and up came a certain brunette. Doing a free run jump over the rail, Jaden was on his feet, breathing hard.

"You can count… Jaden Yuki as present… thank you… just as soon… as I catch my… breath." He said between pants. No one noticed the rock tower on the other side of the rail.

After finally catching his breath, Jaden registered and had his deck searched for confiscated cards, then finally went inside.

Back inside, the blue haired kid from earlier had finished his duel and was watching the other duels. Soon, a presence came up beside him. He thought it was his cousin, but when he turned, he saw a brown haired boy who was now engrossed in the duels.

"Wow, look at 'em go." He was looking at a duel going on between a boy his age with black gray hair, slicked back neatly and wearing a whitish gray school uniform, and a proctor.

On the proctor's field wera Gear Golem the Moving Fortress (800/2200) and Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) both in defense mode. On the teen's field was a Vorse Raider (1900/1200) in attack mode and a face down.

"Alright new guy," The proctor called to the boy. "Multiple choice; you have two monsters starring ya down, do you A: throw in the towel, B: beg for mercy, or C: run home to mama?"

"I'll go with D: none of the above!" The dark haired boy announced, revealing a British accent, pressing a button on his duel disk to activate his face down.

"A trap?!" The proctor asked, surprised.

"Exactly. You see, with Ring of Destruction I can destroy any monster on the field that's in attack mode and then we both take damage equal to that monster's attack points." The kid stated with a slight smile, knowing he had won.

A ring of red bombs appeared around Vorse Raider's neck and exploded, dropping the boy's life points to 1300, while the proctor's dropped to zero.

"Clever move, applicant. Welcome to the academy." The proctor said as the holograms disappeared.

"Thank you, oh wise proctor." The boy said dryly as he bowed.

Up in the stands, three boys wearing Obelisk blue uniforms were watching that guy's duel intently.

"Wow, that guy's pretty good, dontcha think Chazz?" A boy with blue hair and glasses said with a southern accent.

"Guess the rumors about him being some kind of whiz kid are true, huh Chazz, huh?" The other boy with spiky brown hair asked with a thick voice.

"He's a punk," The third guy with spiky black hair, known as Chazz, said quite snobbishly. "We went to Duel Prep school for the past three years, we're ready for the academy. These kids don't know what they're getting into, but they'll learn. The hard way, the Chazz Princeton way."

What the three preps didn't know was that they were overheard by a girl a few rows in front of them, though one would think she was engrossed in the book she was reading. She was really skinny, due to a high metabolism, really pale, had long black hair with red streaks, and stormy gray eyes. Her outfit of choice was a black Lolita dress with black tights and dark purple boots. Her name was Bianca Princeton. Guess who she's related to?

'Really, Chazz? Just because we went to Duel Prep doesn't mean we're better than everyone else here,' Bianca silently chastised her brother. 'Who knows? Maybe a duelist here will knock you off your high horse.'

Meanwhile, Azura came out of the bathroom and saw the brunette talking to her cousin. When she got closer, she heard they were talking about the duel that just ended.

"That last guy managed to pull off a really gutsy move!" He said, admiring Bastion's technique.

"Yeah," Azura spoke up, getting the boy's attention. "Bastion Misawa. They say he got the highest score on the written exam."

"Wow, I just barely passed." Jaden muttered. Don't be fooled, he was smart, he just didn't care.

"Yeah, me too, my name's Syrus by the way," Syrus introduced himself, gesturing to his cousin. "And this is my cousin, Azura."

Azura nodded in greeting. "Hey, when did you get here?"

"Just now." Jaden answered.

"So, you haven't dueled yet?"

Jaden shook his head.

"Then you might a problem," Syrus spoke up. "I think this was supposed to be the last one."

Jaden just shrugged. "Whatever comes is what is."

"I don't think that's how that saying is supposed to go." Azura pointed out.

"Whatever."

Meanwhile, at the booth where the faculty was sitting, everyone was talking about the new students.

"Looks like we've got a pretty good crop this year." One of them said.

"Yes, indeed." Another agreed.

Crowler just sat there, not really paying attention to the other teacher's talk. He was about to get up and leave when…

"I'm sorry to interrupt," The man from out front appeared stopping Crowler from leaving. "But one last applicant has arrived to take his exam, Mr. Crowler."

"Did you just call me, 'mister'?" Crowler asked with almost a scowl.

"Oh, I'm sorry," The man apologized. "I'm new here Mrs… "

Before he could continue, Crowler interrupted him. "I have a PhD in dueling to earn the title 'doctor' thank you."

If there's one thing about Crowler, he takes his title seriously with what he has accomplished.

He then looked away. "Now tell the truant that he'll have to come back next year."

The other teachers looked at him like he lost his mind. "Oh come on, Dr. Crowler, we have time for one more."

"Yes, let's give the duelist his shot."

As they pleaded with him, Dr. Crowler looked like he was reaching the end of his rope.

"He was just a bit late, that's all."

That did it.

"LATE IS RUDE!" He slammed his hands down, causing the other people around him to jump. "I have no time for slackers!"

Before he could rant further, his cellphone went off. "Yes, and who may I ask is calling…?"

"It's Sheppard." Answered the voice on the other end.

"Ah, Chancellor Sheppard, how nice of you to call." Crowler greeted in a pleasant tone.

"Just calling to make sure everything's running smoothly, Crowler," The chancellor said. "We wouldn't want a repeat of what happened last year."

That caused Crowler to look uneasy as he remembered. "When you cut a third of our applicants for some ridiculous reason. What was it, calling you mister or missus? Never mind, just make sure that everyone gets a fair shot."

"Yes, of course," Crowler said before hanging up the phone with a scowl. "Furry-chinned windbag!"

'Doesn't he realize there are enough talentless flunkies at this academy? But he's the boss, and if he wants to give this scrim shaker a duel, fine.' He got up from his seat. "Pardon me, gentlemen, I'll be right back."

"Wait," One of the teachers spoke up, picking up a box of different decks. "Who will be the boy's dueling proctor and which exam deck shall we use?"

Crowler just huffed and walked away. "Leave that to me."

Back with Jaden, Syrus, and Azura, Bastion had come up from his duel to sit down in the row in front of them.

"That was a good duel, Bastion." Azura said leaning on the rail.

Bastion turned to Azura, seeing her for the first time. "Thank you." He said politely.

Before anyone else could say anything, they were joined by a cheerful girl who looked a lot like Bastion. Jaden bit back a groan. If there was one thing he had trouble dealing with was cheerful people.

"Way to go, Big Brother!" She said, glomping Bastion in a hug.

"Thanks!" He choked out, being caught off guard.

The newcomer then turned to the three who were there. "Hiya, nice to meet you! I see you've already met my brother!"

Bastion regained himself by this point. "This is my twin sister, Bella Rose."

"You can call me by either name, I don't mind."

'I have a sneaking suspicion that nothing can upset this girl.' Jaden deducted.

"I'm Azura. This is my cousin, Syrus, and this is Jaden, who we just met."

"Nice to meet you." Bella smiled, looking wide-eyed and leaning on the rail.

Jaden was now feeling a little uncomfortable by how close this girl was in her personal space.

Thankfully he was saved by the bell, or in this case a voice over the PA system.

"Jaden Yuki, please report to exam field four."

"Alright, let's get this over with." Jaden muttered, as he went down the stairs.

"Good luck!" Bella waved as he went.

'And I'm gonna need it.' Jaden sighed.

"He's so relaxed, I wonder how good he is?" Syrus wondered.

"He's going to need to be," Bastion said, looking at the exam field in question. "Look who he's dueling."

Down on the field was none other than Dr. Crowler.

"Whoa, who's she?" asked Bella.

"He is Dr. Crowler; he's in charge of the exams." Bastion replied, smiling slightly at his sister's naivety. "He's also the head of the top dorm at Duel Academy."

"That's a dude." Azura deadpanned.

"Very." Bastion said.

Down on the duel field, Crowler was prepping his duel vest as Jaden up on a platform opposite of him.

On the outside, Jaden looked calm, while on the inside he was freaking out slightly. He had been hoping that the field tests would be in smaller, private rooms, so in case something did go wrong with his duel, his…. abilities wouldn't be on display.

Now, all he could do was repeat his usual mantra of 'Don't lose control!' in his head and end this as quickly as possible.

"Alright, test time!" Crowler said looking at Jaden very confidently. "So, son, your name?"

Jaden looked to the teacher as he replied. "Jaden, Jaden Yuki."

"Well, Jaden Yuki, I'm Doctor Vellian Crowler, Department Chair and Techniques Professor here at Duel Academy."

Jaden raised an eyebrow at the teacher's choice of attire, but he wisely kept his mouth shut. He could also feel his arrogance and knew this was going to be a short but interesting duel.

"Are you ready?" Crowler asked.

Jaden nodded. "Let's do this."

"Duel!" Both players shouted.

Crowler: 4000

Jaden: 4000

"You can have the first move if you want. I don't care either way." Jaden said calmly, surprising the audience.

Crowler was also surprised, but he didn't question it. "Very well."

He grinned when he saw the cards in his hand. "First, I'll play two cards face down, and then I'll play the spell card Heavy Storm! This card destroys every other spell and trap card that's out on the field."

Jaden didn't blink as the wind picked up and both of Crowler's face downs were destroyed. After that dark clouds began to form around his side of the field. Jaden raised an eyebrow, as two gold dragon-worm-like creatures appeared on the professor's side of the field.

The audience was amazed by the two creatures but Syrus was confused. "Could someone tell me what's going on?"

"Those two face downs that Dr. Crowler had out were called Statue of the Wicked," Bastion explained as he observed the duel. "It's a special trap that creates a vicious monster token when it's destroyed by a card effect. That's why he played Heavy Storm."

"Speaking of Heavy Storm, there's no way that's a test desk," Azura deduced, growling. "That's gotta be his real deck."

"How do you know?" Bella asked.

"Of course! Both are rare cards that can change the tide of the battle without any serious costs!" Bastion realized.

They weren't the only ones who came to that conclusion.

"A card that strong couldn't be in one of the test decks, Crowler must be using his own." Torimaki realized.

"Then this duel's over," Raizou said. "No one can beat the deck of an expert like Dr. Crowler."

"Yeah, it's impossible, don't ya think, Chazz?"

"Yeah, what do you think, Chazz?"

Chazz smirked. "I think I'm going to enjoy watching Crowler wipe the floor with our little friend down there. I just wish he had treated all the other second-rate duelists that applied to the academy the same way."

Bianca watched the duel intently, Jaden in particular. 'There's something different about that kid.'

Two other duelists were watching the duel, a boy and a girl. The girl had long sandy blond hair and wore the female Obelisk uniform. Her name was Alexis Rhodes. The boy was a little taller than her, had dark blue hair, and wore the third year Obelisk uniform. His name was Zane Truesdale, Duel Academy's top student.

"What an elitist snob," Alexis said. "Bullying some ameteur with his very best cards."

"You're too soft, Alexis," Zane spoke, making said person look at him. "I just hope we get to see that legendary rare card Crowler has stashed away in that deck of his."

"Hey, what I miss?" Asked a voice coming up to them. They turned to see Eric walking over to them.

"Just Crowler abusing his authority, like usual." Alexis wise-cracked, getting a laugh from her cousin.

Eric turned to the duel. "Who's he dueling?"

"Some kid named Jaden Yuki. He's barely said two words since getting down there."

"Mysterious~" Alexis laughed a little at her cousin's antics.

"Ready for your next lesson?" Crowler called to Jaden.

He didn't answer.

"Not much of a talker, are we? Very well. I sacrifice my two Wicked Tokens to summon the Ancient Gear Golem!" In place of the tokens stood a giant robotic creature with the working gears seen clearly. Once against the audience was amazed at the sight of the monster, more so than it's stats (3000/3000).

"There it is! That's his legendary rare card!" Alexis gasped.

"That thing could go toe to toe with Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Eric nearly shouted.

Even Zane's eyes widened a bit. "Now it looks like we're about to find out what makes it so legendary."

"Now, now, I hope you're not too scared of my legendary Ancient Gear Golem." Crowler said sarcastically, ending his turn.

Jaden just stared the monster down. "Nice tin can, but he's not gonna last long."

This shocked many people, including Syrus. "Either Jaden's brave or he's nuts!"

"I'm beginning to think he's both." Azura quipped.

"The kid's got guts, I'll give him that." Eric praised.

"He's staring down that legendary rare monster like he doesn't have a care in the world," Zane said incredulously. "I guess the youth and inexperience have their benefits."

"Give it a rest, Zane," Alexis said, getting tired of his attitude. "At least the kid's showing some backbone."

"There won't be much left to show after this." Zane retorted.

Jaden drew his sixth card before he looked over his hand. "I'll start by playing Polymerization, fusing Elemental Heroes Avian and Burstinatrix to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!"

Two monsters, a green bird man and a gray skinned woman in a red bodysuit, appeared on the field before they fused together. They were replaced by a new monster with the same color scheme as Avian and Burstinatrix and had one of Avian's wings. The only things that were original to this monster was that it's right arm was shaped like a dragon's head and a dragon's tail (2100/1200).

"Then I'll activate this: The field spell Skyscraper!"

Buildings you would find in big cities like New York literally started sprouting up on the field. In the middle of it, Crowler's Golem looked like a giant monster attacking the city. Jaden's Wingman was perched on the highest building's lightning rod with his arms crossed.

"Now, Flame Wingman," Jaden called out. "Attack that Ancient Gear Golem with Skydive Scorcher!"

"Right away, Jaden." Flame Wingman jumped from the building he was standing on and dove toward Crowler's monster, weaving in and out of building.

"Fine by me, bring him on!" Crowler said like he wasn't worried. "This silly little Skyscraper field spell hasn't lower my Golem's attack by one point!"

Flame Wingman then landed on the ground in front of the Ancient Gear Golem before leaping into the air again.

"That wasn't the plan," Jaden revealed. "Since my hero is battling another monster with higher attack points, this spell raises my hero's attack by 1000!"

"Wait! Timeout!" Crowler cried, but it didn't stop Flame Wingman's attack as he launched himself at the Ancient Gear Golem, his body covered in flames (2100-3100/1200).

Crowler was freaking out as Jaden's monster slammed into his, making it burst to pieces.

Crowler: 3900

Jaden: 4000

'Thank goodness nothing caught on fire this time.' Jaden sighed a little in relief.

"No, it can't be! He was my very best card!" Crowler cried before being hit in the head by a piece of debris.

'And I'm not sorry about that.'

"Oh, by the way, you should probably know about my Wingman's special ability," Jaden said, his monster landing back in front of him. "When he destroys a monster in battle, the attack points of that monster get dealt straight to your life points."

"No way…" Crowler muttered.

Just as he said that, the remaining shell of Ancient Gear Golem fell on top of Crowler, despite trying to get out of the way.

A small part of Jaden was hoping he would be able to get back up.

Jaden: 4000

Crowler: 900

"And I'm not done," Jaden said before holding up one more card. "Now I activate the spell De-Fusion to separate Flame Wingman back into Avian and Burstinatrix."

Flame Wingman vanished and in his place were the first two monsters he used (1000/1000) (1200/800).

Crowler's eyes widened as he got up.

"No!" He cried.

"Now I've got two monsters that can attack directly. Guys, you know what to do." Jaden commanded.

"As you command." Avian nodded.

"Let's end this!" Burstinatrix said.

They shot a combined attack of wind and fire at Crowler, and knocked him to the floor again.

Crowler: 0

Jaden: 4000

"Looks like I pass the test." Jaden said casually.

As the holograms faded, a lot of people were stunned that Jaden had beaten a teacher, who was using his real deck, in a duel, and managed to pull off an OTK.

Crowler was dumbfounded by the whole thing. He was beaten by an amatuer who was also late.

"Impossible," He seethed. "There's no that this delinquent could beat me!"

Up in the stands, Chazz and his flunkies were just as shocked.

"It must be dumb luck," Chazz muttered through clenched teeth. "No way Crowler would lose to some flunky!"

Bianca just kept staring at Jaden, like she could figure him out just by staring at him.

Alexis was smiling at Jaden's win. "That kid's got a future here."

"I'm with you there, Lex!" Eric nodded.

Zane just huffed and walked away.

Syrus was cheering for his new friend. "Yay! Way to play, Jay!"

"Now that was really impressive." Azura smiled.

"Good job, Jaden!" Bella clapped.

'Nice,' Bastion thought. 'I could use the competition.'

Jaden was surprised by the people cheering for him, but he waved back a little feeling shy. He then left the field and found a spot in the hall to have a moment to himself.

He took out his Winged Kuriboh card and looked it over again. "Sorry I didn't get the chance to use you, Winged Kuriboh, I just didn't want to prolong that duel any longer than I had to."

He scowled, remembering the arena. "They cheer now, but once they find out about that they'll be just like everybody else. All the teasing and name calling will start up again."

While Jaden was thinking, Winged Kuriboh appeared in spirit form. He 'cooed' in his little Kuriboh language, trying to speak words of comfort to his new master.

"Crying? What are talking about-" As Jaden was talking, he felt something wet on his face. Lifting his hand to his face, he realized he was crying.

It wasn't because he felt sad, it was more like frustration. He just wished people would understand just how badly their words hurt him. He hides it behind a cold indifference, but he really does feel the emotional hurt people want to inflict.

Taking a few deep breaths, Jaden calmed down and wiped away his tears. He then turned to his newest spirit and smiled, one that was reserved only for his spirits. "I'm fine, Kuriboh, really."

The little spirit wasn't so sure, but he nodded anyway. "Let me go get my bag and then we can leave."

Then he and his new spirit partner walked off. What they didn't know was that they were being watched by Bianca.

'So, Jaden can see spirits,' She thought, glancing at the Flying Penguin spirit beside her. 'Good call, Flyer.'

The penguin squawked. 'Looks like you and I are a lot alike, Jaden Yuki. Maybe we can help each other.'

Meanwhile, Zane was on the phone with the chancellor talking about Jaden's duel. After Crowler got off the field, he and the teachers noticed his coat was singed like it had been burned. This left them quite confused, though Zane had a suspicion.

"I have some candidates for the new dorm sir, but one in particular stands out."

"Who?"

"Jaden Yuki."

And that ends that, right in the middle of Criminal Investigation.

Caden: Not that anything's happening…

Yeah, my teacher can go on with stories, but she's fun! Will update these soon, hopefully we'll all still be alive when I do given how crazy the world's going.

Nicholas: Our idiot of a president just armed Syria!

Greeeaaat! Anyway, read, review, and stay tuned.
