Duel Academy Stories

Drawing Nature, Stealthy Ninja

After classes inside Duel Academy, Jaden, Syrus and Claudio were running down a hallway leading to the card shack.

"Jaden, Claudio, slow down!" Syrus whined, lagging behind the E-Hero and Jukebox Hero duelists.

"I can't; not on Sandwich Day!" Jaden replied.

"You mean that's why you dragged me here after lunch?" Claudio asked. "You just ate!"

Jaden ignored Claudio's words as they finally made it to the shack, where a bunch of Slifer and Ra students were crowding around a deep, square food bin that was filled with a ton of sandwiches inside small packages with the Duel Academy logo on them. All three of them ran up to the bin and looked inside.

"Isn't sandwich day just the greatest, guys?" Jaden asked. "All these choices and not one of them labeled."

"How's that the greatest, Jay?" Syrus replied.

"Yeah, there are a lot of nasty ones in there," Claudio added. "And I'm not taking my chances with it!"

"Well, there's one good sandwich," Jaden said, "The golden eggwich that comes from the magical rooster who lays the golden egg!"

"Jaden, roosters don't lay eggs..." Syrus said.

"Not to mention golden ones." Claudio added.

"Still, it's worth going through all these just to get it! I heard those things are delicious!" Jaden said, sticking his hand into the bin and pulled out a sandwich. He tears open the packages and takes a bite of it and... "Yuck!"

"I take it wasn't the eggwich..." Claudio said, looking at the Slifer's disgusted face.

"Grilled tongue!" He whined as he dropped to his knees.

"That's the fifth week in a row that's happened!" Syrus said.

"Is there only one in every week?" Claudio thought. "Then I know that I won't have a chance..."

"Better a bad draw here than in a duel."

The boys turned around to see Alexis also holding up two non-eggwiches in her hands.

"Hey Alexis." Syrus greeted.

"Oh I get it." Jaden stood up and face the Obelisk Queen. "You took the eggwich, just to have lunch with me, didn't you?"

That comment actually made her blush. 

"I did no such thing!" She blurted out. "I-I was just practicing my drawing skills."

"Sure you did..." Jaden continued his teasing.

"I was!" She yelled.

"Quit teasing her, hero boy." Claudio stepped in. "She basically doesn't have the eggwich on her."

"It's true..." Everyone saw Melody and Miss Dorothy come up.

"I just heard since the past five weeks, nobody has been able to draw the eggwich!" Melody told them.

Everyone gasped. "Really?"

"Well, at least no one I know has been able to draw it." Miss Dorothy replied. "Someone must be sneaking them out after hours."

"Wow, that thief must pretty good to draw those five weeks in a row." Syrus noted. That also made Jaden angry a little, scaring the little guy.

"I'm sorry," Dorothy said.

"Hey, don't be that way." Melody consoled the store owner. "It's the thief's fault, not yours."

"In fact, let's catch this thief!" Jaden declared.
