It is now October. And that means a new year at Duel Academy. The Slifers, Jaden, Haru and Syrus passed their Promotion Exams and graduated to the second year.

Crowler: Will you hurry up? We'll be late to greet the new students! Crowler shouted to the man behind him, a short pudgy man.

Bonaparte: Easy for you to say, you have longer legs! And why are you so excited to greet the new students, Temporary Chancellor Crowler?

Crowler: Temporary? Must you stress that word?

Bonaparte: Well you are acting as Chancellor while Chancellor Sheppard's away.

Crowler: Oh please. If I'm able to increase Duel Academy's reputation, then I just might keep being Chancellor, don't you think?

Bonaparte: I think the word "Impossible" is not in my dictionary, but that is certainly impossible!

Crowler: Well, I'll just have to show you. He said pulling out a magazine.

Bonaparte: Show me what?

Crowler: Just the top duelist in the Pro-Dueling League! The young up and coming champion, Aster Phoenix! It's been decided that he'll be attending the Academy.

Bonaparte: That is good! But, he's already a professional duelist, right? So why?

Crowler: Hmm, it must because I was placed in charge. Crowler hummed. Just then, the new students started getting off the boat. They excited as well as nervous.
Welcome to Duel Academy, students! He greeted.

Bonaparte: We're glad to see you arrived.

Jaden: Yeah! Jaden cheered. Give it everything you got, Haru. You too, freshman! Haru'll teach you the ropes.

Dorothy: Jaden sure is cheery, isn't he?

Syrus: Yeah. He's already turning into a big shot. Syrus said.

Aster: I look forward to this.

Haru: Same here. 'Hmm. Something feels off about this guy.' Haru thought.

Haru & Aster: Duel!

(Haru: LP: 4000)
(Aster: LP: 4000)

Haru: Alright, just take it slow and easy. Think calmly and play your cards right.

Aster: Sure.

Alexis: Is Haru dueling a freshman? Alexis and Chazx showed up.

Chazz: Who is that guy?

Syrus: Well, uh, you see, it was a while ago...

A few minutes ago, back in the Slifer dorm, the trio were greeted by Aster.

Aster: Please to meet you. Call me Aster. I wanted to have a duel with my two seniors, Jaden and Haru, so I came here.

Present time

Syrus: Or that's what he said. And then Haru kinda challenged him first.

Chazz: Aster? He's got nerve picking a fight with Haru.

Alexis: Well, it's not a fight.

Syrus: But, I feel like I saw him somewhere before. Syrus thought.

Chazz: That guy wasn't here in the middle school division.

Syrus: Maybe he was admitted through recommendation.

Dorothy: It's starting!

Aster: Draw!
