Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Back To The Past (Yu-Gi-Oh! Watty Awards 2017)

Obelisk Queen VS Slifer King

(This will be done by Syrus, Jaden and Alexis. Two people (Jaden and Alexis) who secretly love each other, though they don't admit it to each. I wonder what happens afterwards with these two. Hope you like it!)

Alexis POV

"....Ritual monsters, and effect monster," I said, finishing off what types of monsters there are in the world of Duel Monsters. "There are also several types of trap cards: continuous, counter and normal. Spell cards are also divided in normal, equip and quick play."

"Well done, Alexis," Crowler said, clapping his hands, with the rest of the Obelisk Blue students clapping along with him. "Of course, I expected nothing else from one of my Obelisk Blue students."

"Thank you, sir," I said, sitting back down.

"Now then, who should go next?" Crowler mused, looking around the room until he came to the Slifer Red students. None of them looked too keen on answering Crowler's next question, but he didn't seem to be taking his eyes off of them. I felt a little sympathy towards them - Crowler could be really cruel when it comes down to the Slifer's. Finally, he chose Zane's little brother, Syrus, who started freaking out.

"Syrus Truesdale, please explain to the whole class what a field spell does?" Crowler asked, a slight predatory look in his eyes.

Syrus stood up, but I could see that he was in truth really shaking. He looked so scared with every student in the class looking at him, and I could clearly see that some were holding in barely contained laughter. Chazz didn't seem to be doing anything mean - I mean, ever since he was beaten by the Supreme King, he seemed to be alright when it comes down to Jaden's friends. Even I was alright with Syrus, because I find him a little cute.

"Um...uh..." Syrus stammered, trying to find the right words.

"Well?" Crowler demanded. "Are you going to answer, or are you just going to stammer all day long? Well, that's always expected of a Slifer Red - they're all just a bunch of slackers. Every student should know what a Field Spell does."

"HEY!" Jaden yelled loudly, making every other student and Crowler jump. "Just because you're the head of Obelisk Blue, it does NOT mean that you can treat any of us Slifer Reds like trash! And in case you've forgotten, I beat you with a Field Spell and won in one round! Now shut up, and let Syrus speak, before I report you to Sheppard, and any hopes for you becoming the next Chancellor of this Academy are thrown out the window! And if I ever hear you say the word 'slacker' again to any Slifer Red student, then consider yourself preparing for another duel where you can get embarrassed in front of the whole class again!"

Everyone gaped at Jaden, probably thinking that they never expected Jaden to say something like that to a teacher. And by the looks of things, neither did Crowler. Crowler was about to give out a retort, but then suddenly realised that Jaden was deadly serious. Word was that Crowler wanted to become the next Chancellor of the Academy, but even one small negative report would cost him the job. I could see how Jaden had carefully and discreetly warned Crowler that if he disrespected the Slifers in any way shape or form, it would be the last thing that he did. And I know for a fact that being beaten by Jaden again in a duel would be humiliating for Crowler, because if I knew Jaden at all, it's that he sticks with his promises. Crowler kept his mouth shut, and nodded towards Syrus to answer the question.

Syrus was struggling to answer and and looked like he was about to give up, but then I saw something so kind that it melted my heart. It was an act of kindness that I rarely see nowadays, and I always knew that there were some good people out there in the world.
