Bastion comments on how varied their American students ' Decks were , and Syrus remarks that Reggie ' s and David ' s were similarly varied .

Zane passes the Duel Academy video room and sees Atticus . He stops and asks why the latter hasn ' t returned to his dorm yet , with Atticus responding that he needs to finish up homework for Professor Sartyr ' s class . Zane suggests he finish at the dorm , but Atticus opts to stay . Aster arrives at the Duel field , and remarks that as the original Duel Academy branch founded by Seto Kaiba , the place is " duelist holy ground " . He says that he had always wanted to visit this place . After Atticus finishes his homework , he begins to walk back to his dorm . Noticing that the door to the Duel field if open , he enters to see what ' s going on . Seeing Aster , Atticus greets him , saying that he thinks it ' s been about three years since they ' ve seen one another . Aster confirms this as Adrian watches from the balcony . Atticus remarks that he got wrapped in the nostalgia - he usually only talks to women . Aster says that Atticus hasn ' t changed - he ' s as easygoing as ever . Atticus is surprised to see a pro duelist here and Aster responds that he ' s also still a student . He goes on to say that he has debts to repay from their Junior days . Atticus jokingly asks who he borrowed money from . Aster recalls that he couldn ' t beat either Atticus or Zane years ago and even now , as a pro , he is still frustrated over his earlier losses . He stops beating around the bush and challenges Atticus . Atticus agrees , and they begin a Duel . Adrian is shocked to see a Duel between the two of them , and even more floored by the statement that Atticus was stronger than Aster when the two were juniors . Aster starts the Duel , drawing " Vision Fusion " . He Special Summon s a Level 5 monster from his hand , " Vision Hero Faris " by sending the Level 4 or lower " Vision Hero Increase " from his hand to the Graveyard . And when " Faris " is Special Summoned , Aster can send a Level 4 or lower " Vision Hero " from his Deck to the Graveyard , sending " Vision Hero Minimum Ray " . He Sets a card and ends his turn . Atticus notes the monster ' s low ATK for its Level - it exists to send " Vision HEROes " to the Graveyard . He begins his turn , drawing " The Atmosphere " , and muses that when Aster takes damage , the two " Vision HEROes " in Aster ' s Graveyard will become visions in his Trap Zone . He thinks that there ' s no doubt that Aster has " Vision Fusion " in his hand , and activates a Spell Card , " Excavation Work " , allowing him to send the " Synthesize Sphere " in his hand to the Graveyard and draw a card . Then he Special Summons his own monster , as Aster has a Level 5 or higher monster on his field , " Breeze Sphere " . He proceeds to Tribute it to Summon the Level 5 " Virtual Sphere " , with 2200 ATK , and attacks and destroys " Faris , " reducing Aster ' s Life Points to 3400 . Aster explains that because he ' s taken damage , the " Vision HEROes " in his Graveyard , " Minimum Ray " and " Increase " appear in his Trap Zone as visions . Atticus Sets a card and ends his turn . Aster draws , activating " Vision Fusion , " fusing the two visions into " Vision Hero Adoration " . Then he Summons " Vision Hero Multiply Guy " , allowing the effect of " Adoration " to lower the ATK and DEF of Atticus ' monsters by the respective ATK and DEF of " Multiply Guy " , causing " Virtual Sphere " to decrease to 1400 and 1100 , respectively . Aster attacks with " Adoration " , who uses " Ambition Sanctions " to destroy Virtual Sphere , reducing Atticus to 2600 Life Points . Aster angrily declares that today , on this field , he will break the curse of his junior days , while unbeknownest to either of them , Principal MacKenzie watches the Duel .
