"So this is the Standard Dimension, huh?" Rin remarked as she turned her head left and right to look around the streets, standing next to Lulu, while Naminé was behind them, pushing her Duel Runner as she followed the two females. It has been 10 minutes since all three of them arrived in the Standard Dimension and so far, they haven't attracted unwanted attention, except the attention they were getting from people staring at Naminé's Duel Runner.

"That's right, Rin. This is the dimension where Yusho Sakaki originally came from". Naminé stated as she, Lulu and Rin kept walking through the streets of Paradise City with the two girls taking the lead. "I always wondered what teacher's home was like. I actually like it". Lulu commented with a smile as she looked around the city, holding her hands together behind her. She looked up at the billboards atop the buildings and couldn't help, but smile when they showed Duel Monsters,while Naminé did the same as a building was showing a picture of one of her favourite Ritual Monster Elemental Mistress Doriado.

A passing by van passed the three, except it had a screen showing a large man with purple hair; red face paint, and wearing clothes that were similar to a gladiator's outfit with multiple cards floating besides him, including Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Monsters. "Don't be a wimpy loser, be a winner!" The man cried out, before pointing his right hand's index finger out with three separate screens appearing besides him.

"Come to the Leo Institute of Dueling and we'll teach you how to crush any opponent and fill them with fear! Duel to win!" The man said on a monitor that was on a building, only with the words "Leo Institute of Dueling' under him. "That guy has a 'big' ego". Rin joked, before she and Lulu started giggling and Naminé chuckled as she bantered. " And a muscle mouth to boot.Did you see the cards next to him? There were Fusion, Synchro and Xyz cards, meaning that we are in the right place,my Duel Spirit family never let me down". Naminé told the girls, getting them to stop giggling as they looked once more and indeed saw Fusion, Synchro and Xyz cards included in that commercial.

"You're right Naminé, Standard is the only dimension with all the Extra Deck Summoning methods. Although, I wonder who is that man ?" Lulu said as she looked back at the monitor to look at the purple haired man. Naminé looked up at the monitor as well, before he noticed a dark green haired woman, wearing a yellow sundress, walking by them. "Excuse me miss, but can I borrow a moment of your time?" Naminé asked the woman, getting her to stop as she turned to face the Red Cap girl. "Of course you can. What is it?" The woman replied to Nami as she fully faced her and the girls.

"That man on the screen, who is he?" Naminé asked, receiving a look of surprise from the woman. "You don't know him? That's Strong Ishijima also know as the Sledgehammer, the champion duelist of Paradise City ever since Yusho Sakaki ran away from the championship match 3 years ago,but now he's yesterday's news now,Yuya Sakaki defeated him and claimed his title as his own". The woman answered, making Naminé, Lulu and Rin widen their eyes in disbelief at what she said. "Yusho Sakaki...ran away?" Rin questioned in disbelief that the man she met in the Fusion Dimension ran away from a duel.

"Thank you for answering our question". She thanked the woman, who smiled as she walked away, leaving Naminé, Rin and Lulu alone as they thought about what they've learned. "What she said was a lie! Teacher would never run away from a duel". Lulu said in denial of what the woman told them. "I know that, Lulu. Yusho's not the kind of man that runs away from a duel. He must have left Paradise City on the day of the championship match to try to stop Leo Akaba,also did you hear what the woman said Yuya has defeated the Sledgehammer meaning that he got back at him in the name of his dad". Naminé reassured the 14-year-old, knowing that her recent, but trusted friend wouldn't run away from a duel.

"Now that I think about it, didn't you say Yusho just one day showed up in Heartland, Lulu?" Rin asked the purple haired girl, getting her to look at the orange eyed girl. During their time in the You Show School's hideout in the Fusion Dimension, Lulu told Rin how she knew Yusho Sakaki and how her friend Saya was a student of his. "Yes I did. It happened three years ago, Sensei just appeared out of nowhere and brought smiles and joy to all of us in Heartland. He was even an instructor and taught some of my friends dueling lessons". Lulu answered Rin, thinking back to three years ago when Yusho Sakaki appeared alongside his Performapal Sky Magician in Heartland City.
