Duel Academy Stories

Should I Stay or Should I Go Home?

On a dark night, two men were on a row boat heading to Duel Academy. The man rowing the boat was hired by the muscular one who was staring at the direction at hand.

"Row faster!" The muscular man ordered the rower. "I wanna be at Duel Academy by daybreak!"

"Yes, sir!" The other guy replied, with a strained voice.

'I won't have my son wasting one more day, slacking off!' The muscular man wore a white muscle shirt (duh!) and black pants. Also his face was identical to a certain Slifer, except without the fat.

Just a couple of days before the Discipline Duels of Jaden, Syrus and Claudio, and most people think that those three were gonna get kicked out anyway since they heard professionals were coming in to duel them. Of course, their friends had the utmost confidence in them. Bastion and Melody were helping out Claudio as much as they could before Judgment Day as Dimitri put it when he heard about the stuff.

As for Jaden...

"This is the life..." Jaden was relaxing on the ground, under a tree near the school. "Green grass, some warm sunshine, just peace, quiet and some privacy."

"JADEN!"

"Uh oh, spoke too soon on the last few perks." Jaden said as Syrus come running up to him. "What's up, Sy?"

"Jaden, you have to come quickly, something terrible has happened." Syrus told him.

"You flunked the Traps Test, didn't ya?" Jaden asked.

"Actually, I got a B!" Syrus said proudly, but then got serious again. "But that's not it, Chumley's dad is here!"

"So what? Did he raid our fridge?" Jaden shrugged.

"No, Jaden! He came here to force Chumley to drop out!"

"No way, not our buddy!" Jaden gasped.

Jaden and Syrus ran to the Slifer dorm where a group of Slifers, were peeking in on Professor Banner's room.

"Whoa! That's Chumley's Dad?" Jaden asked.

"He looks more like a bodybuilder." Syrus commented. Jaden nodded in agreement. "But I guess if you were carrying around Chumley as a baby, you'd have to be."

Inside, Prof. Banner and Mr. Huffington was still talking as the Slifers continued to listen in on the conversation.

"I mean don't get me wrong," Mr. Huffington was saying. "If Chumley was any good at dueling, that'd be one thing. But he's clearly not, he's wasting his time here. It's time for him to give up dueling and come on home." Jaden and Syrus both gasped.

"I see your point..." Banner said neutrally. "Chumley is a bit... uh..." He even started chuckle nervously, while choosing his words in front of the father.

"You can say it, he's a dunce." The big guy said, not even denying it. That's why I want him to come on home and join the following business."

"And what business would that be?" Banner asked.

"The hot sauce making business!" He said, banging his fist on the table spooking the Professor and his cat. "You do like hot sauce don't you?"

"Oh, of course, I can't get enough of it." Banner said, trying be on the man's good side.

"Loud and clear..." Huffington said bringing out a tall bottle, wrapped in red paper with a picture of chili peppers on it. "Free sample."

"Oh no, I couldn't..." Banner said nervously.

"Oh yes you could..." Mr. Huffington glared at the teacher. "Just think of it as a goodbye gift from the family!"

"So he's really dropping?" Syrus asked.
