[TAoB](Mid/High) Journey to the island 1

A man in his late 20s was standing in front of a window of a ship looking at the endless blue ocean in front of him. The man didn't seem very impressive, he wasn't tall or muscular. The colours of the clothes he wore were starting to fade and they looked somewhat stretched. The shirt he was wearing was very light blue, however it was clear it once had a much brighter color which had a print of multiple playing cards. Further more he wore normal jeans and a pair of normal shoes which noses were almost worn out. His light brown hair was messy like he just woke up and didn't bother doing anything about his hair. As the man was looking out of the window, the door behind him swung open with a loud screech. A man in a suit was the one who had opened the door and seemed to be the polar opposite to the one  looking out of the window. He was tall, muscular and and looked like he cared what people thought about him. The suit looked like it was made for this man which made him look even more impressive. His voice echoed throughout the room as he spoke, it was a deep somewhat hoarse voice.
"Hey Anthony, how long do you think you can just stay around here? You know that we'll be arriving shortly, if it weren't for me I'm positive you'd still be on the island."
The man turned around with a carefree smile on his face as if the words didn't phase him and sighed. "I know, I know. You don't have to keep reminding me every time you get the chance Dirk. What were you doing anyway, you also almost missed the boat. That's very unlike you." Anthony replied with a playful tone in his voice his voice was fairly neutral, almost no emotion that he didn't want to could be heard from his tone. Although he sometimes spoke a bit too fast and a syllable was lost, other than that there wasn't anything special about his voice.
"Yeah, that's right. However after noticing that you weren't on the ship 30 minutes before we were going to depart I decided to go looking for you, since knowing you the chance of you missing the boat was high. You might've defeated me in tournaments before, however your behavior outside the tournaments aren't anything but unprofessional." Dirk said with a sharp tone in his voice.
Anthony chuckled nervously "You've got a point there, however how could I stay focused while I was thinking about all the children who will go to this school?" He said with excitement in his voice.
Dirk started to calm down a bit and sighed. "I get where you're coming from, however you should REALLY mind the time." He took a quick glance at his watch. "Hmm. we're not scheduled to arrive for another 30 minutes." As soon as his sentence ended a sly grin appeared on his face and asked "Wanna play?"
"You still gotta ask?" Anthony replied without thinking in a playful tone. "So wanna play for real or just for fun?"
Dirk's grin grew wider. "You still gotta ask?" He said in a similar tone to Anthony.

"Well then, seeing how you challenged me, I'll begin. My turn. Draw! Hmm..." As soon as the duel began Anthony seemed to change, his personality and the vibe he had changed in a snap. From easy-going and lazy to completely focused and serious. "I set a monster and end my turn." Anthony's voice seemed deeper and could easily be heard throughout the entire room, due to the confidence that was behind the voice. He made a simple hand gesture at the end of his turn signifying Dirk could go.
Dirk looked at Anthony to see if he could read a bluff from his face but nothing was showing. "Okay then, my turn. Draw! It's best to have a strong start, and hope you've got nothing there. I normal summon witch's apprentice and activate Yami. My monster now has 1250 attack. Battle phase. My monster attacks your set one."
Anthony flipped the monster and grinned. "Too bad, Armail has 1300 defense. Take 50 damage."
Dirk's face was completely calm however he wasn't. 'A monster with 1300 defense, really?! I would've prefered a mystical elf over that." He sighed. "Well that's everything I can do for now. Your turn."
"Well then." Anthony said with an excited voice. "This is where things get interesting. Draw! I tribute my armail to tribute summon lava battleguard in attack mode."
Dirk's face twitched for a second. "Lava Battleguard huh, that's a pretty good card. Was it your recommendation?"
"Uhuh, anyway Lava Battleguard attacks your witch."
Dirk sighed and put his monster in the graveyard "I take 300 points of damage."
"Well then I think I'll leave it at that for now. Your turn. Let's see if you can draw a card that can combat my Lava Battleguard."
Dirk drew a card. 'Exactly the card I was waiting for.' He set the card he just drew and 2 cards in his spell and trap card zone and passed the turn to Anthony.
"Ah you bastard, you know I don't know these decks by heart." Anthony exclaimed. "Ah well, nothing I can do about it. Draw! Exactly what I needed. I equip legendary sword to my Lava Battleguard which boosts his attack and defense by 300 points and I attack your face down."
Dirk smiled. "Sorry, it's a Mystical Elf and with Yami her defense is 2200, you'll be taking 350 points of damage now."
"Is this your definition in fun, tying the lifepoints with your oppon-" As he started looking back at his cards he'd noticed the time. "Sorry I have to leave."
"Afraid you might lose because you can't get over my monster?" Dirk said with a wide smile on his face.
"No, well actually yes. However that's not the point. We'll be arriving shortly, and I doubt people want to see me wearing this." He gestured to his outfit.
Dirk sighed. "For once you're right. Go, you might still have enough time to fix everything." He said in a playful tone.

About 20 minutes later 2 men were standing on the ship, both wearing suits. As the wind was blowing rather strongly they were looking at the harbor which was getting closer and closer. "You ready for this Anthony?" Dirk asked. Anthony nodded, if one were to compare how he looked before and now no one would believe it was the same person. His hair was neatly combed, he wore a well tailored suit which made him look taller and bigger than he actually was. He sighed. "I hope people will show up and don't think it's some sort of prank."
"Don't you worry about that." Dirk exclaimed. "We've got perfectly credible financial backers who surely have promoted the hell out of this school." A security guard came running towards them. "Mister Deon, mister Bobson, please come inside for your own safety we're about to dock." With that they walked inside and waited until the docking was complete.

About 15 minutes later a small desk was put next to the entrance to the ship where Anthony sat and Dirk was inspecting everything on the ship hoping everything was in order.

Green walked up to the duel Ring and scanned in his ID card "Sure i can duel you"

Lucius smiled slightly, happy to finnaly get to duel someone in the academy "So your name is green right?" scanning his DI Card

Drawing his cards Green looked through his set. Thinking through his play he decided on something. "I will set down this card and end my turn"

Lucius smiled happy it was a short turn "That's all you got, huh. I'll activate red medicine and summon Killer needle in attack mode. Now Killer Needle attack his set card!"
"Not too bad for a set monster"

Drawing a card Green looked through his set. "Hmmm I'll set another card and end my turn"

Lucius drew his card and brushed his hair out of his face "I summon another Killer needle and I think I'll end it there"

Drawing a card Green smiled and activated it almost instantly "I activate my spell card "Forest" Giving all my insects 200 atk and defense and i tribute my set card to tribute summon herculees beetle and i attack your killer and end my turn
Lucius frowns slightly "Quite the intimidating monster I'll just have to match it with my own strength, I activate Laser Cannon Armor on my Killer Needle! Now I'll summon Big Insect" he smiles happy with his move "Killer Needle attack his Hercules Beetle Destroying you both. I'll end my turn with that."

Green looked at his hand, dissapointed at what he drew. "I'll end my turn without playing anything"

Lucius barely held in a chuckle "Ok then I set 1 card and end as well"

Drawing another card he looked at his hand. "I end my turn again"

Lucius couldn't be happier with his luck "I tribute Killer Needle for Hercules Beetle and Flip Summon my Man-Eater Bug Destroying Beaver Warrior" he laughed "Now my Hercules Beetle attacks you directly along with my Man-Eater Bug" he smiles happy to be in the lead "I'll end with that"

Drawing another card. "I set this card and end my turn"

"Is this your last ditch effort? I summmon Kamakiriman in attack mode and He will attack your set monster" Lucius frowned having one of his best monsters off the field " I can fix this, Man-Eater Bug attack him. I'll set one card and end"

Drawing another dead card he activated "De-Spell" And decided to end his turn. He needed to take some cards out.

Lucius smiled to have maybe one his first game at the academy "I tribute my Man-Eater bug For Hercules Beetle, Now I'll attack you with him and Activate Reinforcements, now Kamakiriman Attack." He smiled proudly "I'll end on a posotive note"

Drawing another dead card Green smiled, Activated "Red medicine, and Sparks to do the last damage to his opponent, "I'll end my turn there"

"I'll end this fast Hercules Beetle and Kamakiriman Attack him directly" He smiles happy and a little proud that he actually won "Good Game, Umm Your name is green right?"

"Yea good game, and yes my name is Green, Green Witch, nice to meet you" Green said with a smile.

"My nameis Lucius Zantos, Nice to meet you I'll see you around sometimes" He says walking away from the Duel Arena
