Four Becoming One: A Yu Gi Oh Story [Completed]

Chapter 36

JP (Fusion) POV

[I don't remember what happened last night but I decide not to worry about it. Chazz has left and no one can find him. Honestly I don't care. He was getting on my nerves. The talk of academy is the upcoming School Duel. It's a duel where one representative from Duel Academy will face off against someone from our rival, North Academy. The words was going around that they were using a first year, so the chancellor wants to use a first year as well. Who was it going to be? Everyone expects it to be me since Zane is gone and also wasn't a first year. I don't mind representing my school but after what happened last night I'm afraid to duel again. I didn't cause that to happen. Can that happen again against my will? I can't focus on it right now since Celina and Alexis are coming my way]

3rd Person POV

[JP sits at the lunch table in the mess hall. He looks very tired. Both Celina and Alexis look very concerned]

Celina: You okay, JP? You look terrible.

JP: I'll live.

Alexis: You should go to the infirmary. I'll take you.

Celina: Stop underestimating him. He's strong.

JP: I'll be fine, Alexis. Thank you.

Celina: How about a duel, JP? That would make you feel better.

[JP still hasn't told anyone about what happened the night before]

JP: I don't know, Celina. I'm just not in mood.

Celina: Maybe you should go to the infirmary. You turning down a duel isn't usual.

JP: I'll be fine, Celina. Thank you.

[Just then Bastion walks over to JP]

Bastion: Hey, JP.

JP: Can I help you?

Bastion: Everyone believes that you will represent the school in the School Duel.

JP: That's right.

Bastion: Well, I think I would be a better fit.

JP: You challenging me to a duel, Bastion?

Bastion: That's exactly what I'm doing.

[Everyone starts talking loudly in the mess hall]

Celina: JP could beat you easily.

Bastion: I've been studying his deck and I believe I have the formula to beat him.

JP: I seriously doubt it.

Bastion: Well, let's see if your bite as bad as your bark.

[A student walks over to JP]

Student: The chancellor wants to see you, JP.

JP: Catch you, girls, later.

[JP leaves and goes to the chancellor's office]

JP: You rang?

Chancellor: I heard that you got challenged by Bastion.

JP: I did. You want me to duel him?

Chancellor: I do but I also want you to humiliate him. Show everyone why you're the top student.

[JP stands silent]

Chancellor: I see great potential in you, JP. You could be a leader. Like a general in an army. Now I want you to go and beat Bastion.

JP: As you wish, chancellor.
