Ash Ketchum Attends Duel Academy

Clash with Zane

At the red dorm

Syrus had doubts that he would be a good partner for Ash during the discipline duel as punishment for him entering the abandoned dorm without permission.

He went to find the black-haired Obelisk at his dorm.

When he got there he was greeted by two Obelisks.

"What's a Slifer Slacker doing here?"

"He's here to see me." The two turned after hearing a voice and spotted Ash looking down at them.

"Do you have a problem with that?" The two blues then left Syrus and Ash alone.

"I...I'm going to leave Duel Academy." Syrus told him.

"What for?" Ash questioned back.

"I don't feel like I should be here." He confessed. "I'm going to run away."

Syrus was dead set on doing that and then ran as fast as he could away from Ash.

'What's going's on?' He thought to himself after watching Syrus run off.

"Look, it's not you, it's me. I'm sorry, but I just can't use you in my deck anymore. I gotta make room for another Koala..."

Chumley sat on a tree branch, his deck spread out before him, and a Des Koala card in his hand. He looked at the deck, the card and nodded. "Yeah...fifteen ought to be enough."

"You can't have more than three copies of a card in your deck." Ash pointed out.

"Oh hey Ash." Chumley looked down to see Ash staring up at him. "What are you doing here?"

"Do you have a idea where Zane is." He answered. "I'm going to duel him."

"The Zane?!" This time, Chumley did let go of the branch and he fell from his safe spot.

"The duel to decide whether I stay at Duel Academy or leave is coming up." He explained. "Let Syrus know about this. He'll want to see our duel and hopefully gain some valuable information."

He then walked off and returned to the Obelisk Blue dorm.

Two other Obelisk Blues stood in front of the dorm.

"Where's Zane?" Ash demanded.

The two blues poured water on him in response to his demand for Zane's whereabouts.

This action was noticed by Alexis, who was passing by.

"Hey Alexis can I ask you for a favor?"

Alexis raised an eyebrow. "Okay sure what is it?"

"Can you get me a duel with Zane?"

Alexis stares at Ash in shock. "Are you sure about this, he's the best here?"

Ash stared at her seriously. "I'm sure."

She could tell that he was dead set on dueling Zane no matter what anyone said.

"I'll see what I can do." She told him.

"Thanks." Ash told Alexis thanks for her efforts.

Later

Jaden and Chumley were hanging out at the red dorm.

They weren't aware Syrus was trying to leave Duel Academy on a boat.

They then stepped into their room and noticed Syrus was in bed, wrapped up in a blanket.

Jaden nudged the bundle. "Come on Syrus, get up! This is ridiculous, even Chumley got up today."
