Chương 1: It’s time to Duel!
"Remember grandson, whatever happens to me you must keep going, keep charging, keep pursuing the-!" BEEP BEEP Slam!
|| ???'s POV ||
"Ugh…" Sitting up in my bed and rubbing my eyes I groan in annoyance as I remove my hand from the top of my alarm clock before pinching the bridge of my nose… then did a double take of the alarm clock. "Crap! Crapcrapcrapcrap-"
Throwing away my covers and quickly throwing on the only clean clothe I had while rushing around the room in a panic I barely take a moment to skid to a stop infront of the mirror, taking one look at myself to see if I atleast looked somewhat presentable. Having given up on ever actually getting control over my hair a few years back I did hope that it didn't stand out too much, I was aiming to be nore lowkey here after all!
But after a quick nod I was already sprinting downstairs and out the now empty house at top speed, making a mad dash towards my goal the duel academy entrance exam! Massive grin on my face and hand hovering over the yellow deckbox at my hip I knew I couldn't afford to lose here, this has been my goal for the last couple years and I'll be damned if I lose to some underpaid wage slave procto- "hey watch it!"
Coming to an abrupt stop I nearly slammed into some brown haired kid who already crashed into someone else with even wackier hair. I couldn't let myself be distracted though! Moving around them I reached the desk outside the large building and braced both hands against it, looking towards the two bewildered looking girls who stood taking registration for those showing up for the registration.
"Uh-huh, and what's your name?"
"Khaki Khafre."
"Well then please head through, your bame will be called when it is time for you to duel one of our proctors." With a nod and wuick thumbs up I went through the main entrance, having made it barely before the cut off, would sure suck to be a scrub that arrived late.
————————————————————
Arriving in the main… auditorium?… arena?… the name didn't really matter, but arriving in the main thing! He was able witness the end of 2 duels happening around the same time, some brown haired kid in a white outfit and some blue haired midget. Leaning on the railings and watching with clesr curiosity I mentally hummed to myself . The skill gap between these two other candidates were hudge, like barely comparable in all honesty. The one who the others were mumering about and calling Bastion was calm, confident and calculated while the blue haired kid seemed about ready to have a panic attack at a moment's notice.
He understood this was a big day but if you aren't even confident in winning why show up? After all anyone who can't have complete fsith in their deck is never going to come out ontop.
Khaki Khafre, calling down Khaki Khafre onto the duel stage. Please be ready to conduct your duel entry exam." Being snapped out of my thoughts and standing up straight at the mention of my name I took a deep breathe, after all compared to some of the shmucks he saw dueling he should be cream of the crop here, after all alot of the people here seemed to have practically no strategy. Though he did pale upon seeing the absolute giant of a man that was his proctor. Over six and a half feet tall while also being incredibly built? What mind of guy needs myscles like that to play a card game?!
"So your Khaki then? Heh, give this your best shot! I want nothing less from your than 110%!" Khaki felt himself just nod dumbly, finally getting over his stupour as he picked up one of the offered duel disks and placed it against his arm before inserting his decks.
"It's time to duel!"
<Proctor: 4000LP>
<Khaki: 4000 LP>
"Well I believe I shall take the first turn!" The proctor declared while drawing his opening hand and then drawing for turn. "I'll start by discarding thunder dragon to add 2 more thinder dragons to my hand directly from my deck, now I will Normal Summon Thunder Clap Monk in attack position, set 2 cards and end my turn."
Thunder clap monk
Lv 4 Light Thunder
Atk: 1900 Def: 200
"My turn, draw!" Looking down ag my hand, then up towards their field I smiled for a moment. "I set 1 monster and 2 cards in my backrow then end my turn." It wasn't quite as flashy despite how uncommon just setting your monsters are but this is how he duels.
"Setting monsters aye? Gotta say it's been a while since I have seen that, I draw!" A scheming expression passed over the prcotrs face as they looked at the card they draw, immediately playing it. "Now I will play my fusion spell polymerization, fusing the two thunder dragons in my hand to summon Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon!"
In the middle of the duel arena lighting began to crackle around, forming into two lightning bokts that swirled around before crashing together, a mighty beast appearing on the field while murmus spread out across the bleachers. What the hell! Was this really a proctor deck?!
Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon
Lv7 Light Thunder
Atk: 2800 Def: 2100
"Oh but that's not all, I will equip my dragon with the equip spell Wattcube thought it won't be staying for long as by sending it to the grave my thunder dragon's attck will raise by 1000 points!
Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon
Atk: 2800 -> 3800
"Now that may be an issue…" Khaki was having a similar reaction to the other students, after all none of the other proctor decks showed anything close to this level in the slightest so what was even going on here? Or well he had a basic idea.
Glancing up towards one of the security cameras in the room he grumbled under his breathe "God damn it Dad…"
"Now prepare to really learn since I haven't normal summoned this turn I will normal summon the calculator!"
The Calculator
Lv2 Thunder
Atk: ? Def: 0
Atk: ? -> 3600
"W- what?!" From the crowd a student cried out, the proctor just grinning and snapping his fingers before pointing towards the student. "Now since I can just feel your curiosity allow me to explain. The calculator while weak on its own has the effect to gain attack equal to the total levels on my field times by 300!"
Up in the stands two certain students were looking on at the duel, the older dark blue hair male frowning while the younger female blonde had an expression of pity. "Poor guy, just what kind of deck is this proctor using? Most the Obelisk Blues would have no chance against it…"
The boy Meanwhile just stayed silent, his thrown deepening. Something was clearly wrong here, from his experience there was no thunder proctor deck and this teacher was completely new to him yet the faculty were making no move here to remove him… so just what was going on here?
"Now if you have finished preparing for your defeat my monk will attack your face down, Thunder Clap Flash!" Lightning cracked around the monk's hand before in a flash of speed they appeared, punching the face down… which was revealed to be a squirrel which exploded into smoke, bringing an arm up to somewhat block the blast my nose scrunched up from the smoke, even if it had no real substance to it I just couldn't get over these hyper realistic holograms! "Heh…" Though I should probably focus on the matters at hand.
"Preparing for my defeat? Well aren't you the optimist?" As the smoke cleared two more face-down monsters were on the field. "When destroyed my Nimble Momonga's effect activates to have me gain 1000 life points then I can summon two more from my deck!"
Nimble Momonga
Lv4 Earth Beast
Atk: 1000 Def: 100
<Khaki: 5000 LP>
"Stallin'? Well I'm afraid you can only hide for so long! My dragon and calculator will destroy your remaining monsters!" As their other two monsters launched an attack I twice again gained life points.
<Khaki: 7000 LP>
Taking in a deep breath I did feel somewhat comforted by my high life points though they wouldn't last a single turn if I couldn't out his monsters. Just had to hope I drew what I needed!
"Well then I end my turn, hope you can do something good here? Show us just that you aint out yer depth quite yet!" Folding their arms their smile seemed to slowly become more savage instead of the goofy smile they were giving earlier.
"Just what the hell is wrong with this guy…" Shaking my head I drew my card and with that my victory was another step closed! "I will start by banishing a Nimble Momonga from my grave to Special Summon my Rock Spirit." From the hround rocks seem to rise up, forming into the shape of the humanoid
The Rock Spirit
Lv4 Earth Rock
Atk: 1700 Def: 1000
Next I'll immediately tribute my Rock Spirit to Summon my Hieracosphinx in Defence." A sound similar to a mix of a lion and eagle cawed throught the arena, the bird like creature descended from the sky before crouching down.
Hieracosphinx
Lv6 Earth Rock
Atk: 2400 Def: 1200
"Summoning in Defence now are we? What happened to that confi-"
"Could you shut your mouth? I wasn't finished." Khaki cut them off before pointing at them, the proctor pausing before shrugging. "As I was about to say, It's time for my ace to make their apperance!"
Thrusting their left hand into the air their sphinx cawed before disintegrating into particles of light that began to swirl together… then the very air seemed to thrumm with energy. A beat like a drum yet resounded like a pulsing heart could be felt in the arena as from the swirling light a towering figure emerged.
The ground creaked in protest from being forced to support to gargantuan being covered in armour as rising to their full height-
Exxod, Master of the Guard
Lv8 Earth Rock
Atk: 0 Def: 4000
"Attack position? 4000 defence yet you summon them in attack!" The prcotor cackled maddly for a while meanwhile my eyes widened in a panic while I took a step back.
"W- what I thought I summoned it in attack, stupid bloody duel disk!" Glaring down at the piece of junk attached to my arm I then gave Exxod an apolagetic look. "Sorry Exxod… I end my turn."
"Ha! I draw, don't worry I'll make this fast Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon attacks your Exxod!" hanging their head low in shame while the mighty dragon launched a twisting beam of energy towards Exxod his shoulders began to shake. H- had he really lost this in such a stupid way?…
"At first I thought you were optimistic, but now I just see you are naive!" Honestly I couldn't help but pat myself on the back for my acting skills, honestly I doubted this obvious ploy would work again after this but who cares! The fact someone fell for it in the first place is hilarious!
"W- what!" The proctor looked on in pure suprise as Exxod sinply brought up one hand with an open palm, the blast impacting it with all the force of a wet noodle.
"I activate two traps in sequence, chain link one wall of distruption and chain link 2 Inverse Universe!" His two face downs flipped ip one after the other causing the pure horror to dawn on the proctors face. "First inverse universe will swap the attack and defence of all monsters on the field,"
Twin-Headed: 3800 -> 2100 Atk
The Calculator: 3600 -> 0 Atk
Thunder Clap Monk: 1900 -> 300 Atk
Exxod: 0 -> 4000 Atk
"Now Wall of Dosruption will reduce all your momsters' attack by 800 for each one you control!"
Twin-Headed: 2100 -> 0 Atk
The Calculator: 0 -> 0 Atk
Thunder Clap Monk: 300 -> 0 Atk
"B- but!" As the attck failed to inflict any damage to Exxod the mighty giant reared back their fist, prepared to counter attack by punching down on the dragon, creating an explosion that rocked the entire arena.
<Proctor: 4000 -> 0>
Khaki Khafre Wins!
Standing victoriously he kept his massive grin, making it look like he had that entire duel in the bag from the start, meanwhile… 'holy crap that was terrifying, if his face down had been anything good I would have been finished' With all his resources pooled into that one final play if he really did even have something simple as dark bribe he would have lost baddly and embarrasingly… but luckily it didn't end badly so all is good.
In the crowd however there was many hushed mutteres going about, after all that had been a rather great duel with some random not even from one of the prep schools beating some teacher with an op deck?! Yea things would not be kept quiet.
Gkancing towards the prictor who went right back to grinning cheerily he sighed, not really paying attention to all that 'great duel' stuff and the droning on about hwo good he did from the proctor, if anything he probably did get a bit tunnel vision. Like I wasn't meant to draw attention to myselfdamn it!
Running a hand down my face I pondered for a moment, leaving the arena and going to watch the final duel- is that ancient gear golem?!
