Magna Chum Laude

It had been a few days since Jaden and Solona defeated Kagemaru and the three Sacred Beast cards had been sealed underground again. But now Jaden had a new problem, the exams were coming up and Jaden had to study for them if he wanted to carry on into the next year. But Jaden was not one for studying and he could hardly concentrate.
"Oh man." Jaden groaned. "I'm never going to be able to pass the promotion exams. I have test anxiety."
He and his roommate Syrus were in their room and playing a game of dueling using their dueling pilots though Jaden had a lot on his mind about the exams so he wasn't concentrating.
Syrus smirked as he had his Patroid along with Gyroid on his field while Jaden only had his Clayman in defense mode. 
"Watch this." He grinned. "I'm taking out your Clayman with my Drillroid." He brought Drillroid onto his field. 
"Now you're wide open." He smirked
"Wait a second!" Jaden shouted as he tried to use his pen on his Duel Pilot
"And with this card, I win!" Syrus cheered
Jaden gave a deep sigh. 
"I've got to learn how to stay calm during these tests." He said to himself
"Maybe you should chill out like Chumley." Syrus suggested
Jaden looked at Chumley who was lying on his bed looking away from them. "Uh Syrus, doesn't Chumley look a bit too chilled."
Syrus looked at Chumley. 
"He's fine" he stated "He's just tired; he was up all night long. Poor guy"
"He was up all night?" Jaden questioned. "That sounds like a lot of studying especially for Chumley."
Syrus looked at Jaden seriously. 
"Jaden you don't understand." He said. "Chumley is under even more pressure than you. He's already failed his exams twice, if he fails them this year then he will be kicked out of here for good."
Unknown to the two of them, Chumley was awake and he had heard everything. 
'And with my dueling skills, that is exactly what is going to happen.' He thought.
...
Later during School lessons, it was the day when students would design their own card and paint. The best cards would be sent over to Pegasus, the creator of Duel Monsters and then made into real cards.
Solona had drawn a new type of Blue Eyes dragon which she named as Blue Eyes Sparkling Dragon which was a normal blue eyes dragon that had a more sparkling scale color similar to the Blue Eyes Twin Burst scales. Daylen had designed a new Dark Magician card known as Dark Magician Cannon, a spell which would allow you to destroy an opponent's monster by discarding Dark Magician from your hand.
However, many students didn't have any imagination and had just drawn their favorite monsters instead. 
"Hey Jaden, look at this." Syrus said and he showed Jaden a rather crude drawing of Dark Magician Girl "Is it good."
Kallian was sat behind Syrus looked at him. "Syrus we're meant to be drawing our own card, not our favorite monster." she stated but Syrus wasn't listening as he was looking at Jaden's picture.
"Not bad." Jaden stated. "But check out my card design." Syrus looked at his work. "It's a work of art, it's pure genius, it's Sparkman." His drawing was meant to look like his Sparkman card but the painting looked nothing like Sparkman and looked more like a child wearing a blue and grey armor. The messy lightning made the painting even worse. 
"See?" Jaden grinned
"Err, if you say so?" Syrus stated
Faren chucked. 
"That doesn't even look like Sparkman." He stated
Jaden ignored him and looked at Chumley. 
"So, what did you do Chumley?" He asked
Chumley looked at Jaden. "Err, well I sort of painted this." He showed them his painting which was a very good painting as it was well designed and did not look like a kids painting. The painting looked like an Australian scene.
"Wow, that's really good." Syrus smiled at his friend
"Cool." Jaden agreed "So what is it?"
Syrus gasped. "What is it. Jaden, have you ever heard of Ayers Rock?"
"Well err, no." Jaden stated
Chumley smiled as his painting brought back memories. "You see guys, a long time ago, my dad took me camping in Australia where I saw Ayers Rock." He said. Chumley's painting then caught the attention of the students sat around him.
"That's really good work Chumley." Kallian stated
"A perfect drawing." Zevran stated
"That is how you paint." Theorn stated
"Yeah I know." Chumley smiled "I'm going to use it for my card design."
Then there was silence as there was an announcement around the School over the speakers. It was Dr Crowler the head of Obelisk Blue. 
"Attention." He called. "Will Chumley Huffington please report to Chancellor Sheppard."
Chumley now looked worried. 
"Oh man!" He groaned as he packed his things and stood up as he went over to the hallways to head over to the Chancellor's office.
Syrus looked at Jaden "Is he in trouble?" he asked
"Beats me." Jaden stated
"Well I did hear that someone recently spoke to Chancellor Sheppard about offering one of his students a job." Zevran stated
"And you think it could be Chumley?" Theorn asked. "Who contacted Sheppard."
"I don't know." Zevran stated. "But I know that it is someone important."
...
Chumley had gone over to Chancellor Sheppard's office and he was nervous. He had never been called to see the Chancellor and he knew that if he was called to see the Chancellor alone, it was a bad thing. When he got to the office, he found Chancellor Sheppard sitting in his seat with Dr Crowler standing next to him along with Professor Dorian.
"Err, am I busted?" Chumley asked. "Am I in some kind of trouble or is this about my exams."
Sheppard looked confused but then laughed. "No, you are not in trouble Chumley. I called you here because I have some very good news for you Chumley."
"You do?" Chumley questioned
Sheppard stood up and he passed something to Chumley "Look, this arrived for you"
Chumley took one look at what Chancellor Sheppard had given him and he gasped. It was a Duel Monster card but it was not just any card, it was the very card he had designed. 
"It's my card!" He gasped. "The one I had designed."
"Congratulations Chumley." Sheppard said
"Your design won Industrial Illusion's contest for card designing." Dorian added
"Now your card is official." Sheppard finished
"Wait, but who chose my card?" Chumley asked as he looked at Sheppard
"I did Chumley boy." A voice on the screen called and Chumley turned to see a man wearing a red suit and had long light purple hair. Chumley widened his eyes when he saw that it was Maximillion Pegasus, the owner of the Company Industrial Illusions and the creator of Duel Monsters. "There were so many cards and so little time to decide, but your card, it was a gift from the angels themselves. An angel named Chumley." Chumley gave a small smile at that. "There's more; I want your brain working on more cards, for me at Industrial Illusions, if your teachers allow it. In other words, I'm offering you a job here. I hope that you can Chumley." Then the screen turned blank
Chancellor Sheppard looked at Chumley with wide eyes. 
"Chumley, what an opportunity this is." He said. "A chance to design new cards for Pegasus himself. Well my boy, you have my recommendation."
"Wait, Pegasus chose me?" Chumley questioned. "To design new cards for Duel Monsters."
"Excuse me but I'm troubled?" Dr Crowler spoke up
"What now Crowler?" Dorian groaned. "Just say yes."
"But Chumley hasn't passed his exams" Crowler countered. "What kind of school would we be to send him some flunky."
"Come on Crowler." Dorian groaned. "Give the kid a break, not everyone has the skills but some are skilled in card designing."
Crowler crossed his arms. "I'll tell you what, if Chumley can beat me in a Duel, then I will give Pegasus my recommendation."
"A duel?" Chumley questioned
Then Crowler snapped which made Chumley jump back. "But if he loses, he will be expelled right there."
Sheppard smiled. 
"It's settled then." He said. "and you'll need it, Crowler plays to win."
"And win is what I'll do tomorrow." Crowler smirked and Chumley looked worried
...
Shortly afterwards, Chumley left Chancellor Sheppard's office where Jaden, Syrus and Faren were waiting. Jaden looked at Chumley and saw his worried look.
"What happened?" he asked and Chumley sighed then Jaden saw what he was holding. "Hey, they made one of your cards."
"Chumley!" Syrus gasped. "Oh man, don't you know how awesome this is?"
"Not many people can say that a card design they have made has become an actual card." Faren finished
"But, um." Chumley started but he couldn't find the words
"But um what?" Jaden smiled. "Come on, you should be ecstatic, I mean this is huge."
"It sure is." Syrus smiled
"Congratulations." Faren added
"Thanks I guess." Chumley said softly but he couldn't find a way to tell them what Pegasus had offered him and about his duel with Crowler tomorrow.
...
Later that night, all of the students were in bed. Jaden was relaxing on his bed when he woke up and he saw that Syrus was fast asleep while Chumley's bed was empty. Jaden then saw that his dorm room door was slightly open and so he went out and saw Chumley sitting on the grass near the cliff. 
"Hey Chumley." He greeted. "What are you doing all the way out here at night?"
Chumley turned around and looked at Jaden. 
"Well..." he started
"Is it because you can't sleep because you won that big contest?" Jaden asked. "I'll be excited too."
"Jaden, we have to talk and it's really important." Chumley said
"Is it about the left over grilled cheese?" Jaden asked. "Look, its okay that you ate them."
Chumley shook his head "It's not that Jaden" he said "Jaden I'll be leaving here tomorrow."
"Wait but why?" Jaden asked
"When I went to Sheppard's office, Pegasus contacted me." Chumley replied. "He was the one who had my card designed and he offered me a job at Industrial Illusions to design more cards."
"Wait Pegasus offered you a job to design more cards?" Jaden questioned "That's so sweet!"
"Yeah it is." Chumley replied. "But I have to beat Crowler tomorrow in a Duel otherwise they'll kick me out of here for good."
"Oh man, why does Crowler have to make everything so hard?" Jaden groaned and then he put his hand on Chumley's shoulder. "Well guess what Chumley, I'm going to help you win. I'm going to help you with your deck. I beat Crowler so you can to."
Chumley smiled. 
"Right thanks for the help Jaden." He said
...
The next day, it was time for Chumley and Crowler's duel. Jaden, Faren and Syrus were sitting in the stands watching. Bastion, Chazz and Alexis had joined them along with Solona and Daylen. Kallian, Faren, Zevran, Neria, Theorn and Faren were at the Duel too. Aedan and Sereda had been unable to come and watch as they had some important homework to do.
"Let's go Chumley." Jaden called. "We're with you."
Syrus looked at Jaden worryingly. 
"Jaden, aren't you worried for Chumley?" he asked
"No he'll be fine." Faren smiled. "He and Jaden were up most of the night training for this match."
"Hey Chumley, we're all with you." Alexis called
"We know you can do it Chumley." Solona added
"Now go win this duel." Daylen finished
Crowler smirked at Chumley. "Now don't worry Chumley, this duel will only affect the rest of your life."
"Err, okay." Chumley replied nervously
Crowler snorted. 
"Now are we going to duel or what." He stated as he activated his large dueling coat and Chumley activated his own Duel Disk.
"Duel!"
Crowler: 8000
Chumley: 8000
"I'll be taking the first move." Chumley stated as he drew his sixth card "And I'll place a monster face down along with a card face down. That will be all."
"That's your move?" Crowler questioned. "More like a waste." He then drew his sixth card. "I on the other hand will be playing the spell card Graceful Charity which allows me to draw three new cards as long as I discard two of them." Crowler drew three cards and smirked as he discarded two of them. "And now I will play the spell card Monster Reborn which allows me to get back the monster I discarded, my Ancient Gear Golem." The ground cracked open and then the huge mechanical golem made of rusty metal appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 3000 Defense 3000)
"Uh Oh." Syrus groaned
"Crowler brought out his best monster on his very first turn." Alexis gasped
"That's how Crowler Duels." Daylen stated
"If this is what Crowler's first move is, then I doubt Chumley has much of a chance." Theorn stated sadly
"And now I summon Ancient Gear Soldier in attack mode" a rusty soldier made form scrap metal appeared on the field with a gun for a hand (Level 4 Attack 1300 Defense 1300) "Ancient Gear Golem attack!" Crowler ordered. "Mechanized Melee." Ancient Gear Golem threw back a fist and then threw it at Chumley's face down monster. "And unless you slept through that class, when Ancient Gear Golem attacks a monster in defense mode, you take damage equal to the difference between my Golem's attack points and your monster's defense points." Chumley's face down monster turned out to be Des Koala with 1800 defense points so Chumley took some damage.
Crowler: 8000
Chumley: 6800
"That's it!" Chumley snapped. "You're in for it now." Crowler looked confused and then he saw Des Koala swipe him a few times with his claws before shattering and Crowler screamed from the attacks.
Crowler: 6400
Chumley: 6800
"Wait what just happened?" Syrus asked "How did Crowler take damage."
"It my Des Koala's special ability." Chumley answered. "When he's flipped, you take 400 points of damage for every card in your hand."
"Whoa, when did Chumley learn how to Duel like that?" Kallian questioned
"I told you that I helped him train for this." Jaden smiled. "I've seen him Duel before but he forgets about his Koala's special ability but now he knows how to use that ability to his advantage."
"And now Crowler had less life points." Solona finished
"Though Crowler still has a powerful monster on his field." Chazz added. "It's going to take a lot of skill for Chumley to defeat that and he still has that Ancient Gear Soldier to attack with."
'Not bad for an amateur.' Crowler thought. "But I still have one attack left, Ancient Gear Soldier attack with Rapid Fire Fury." The gun on Ancient Gear Soldier fired a huge barrage of fire which struck Chumley causing him to groan.
Crowler: 6400
Chumley: 5500
"And now I place one card face down and then end my turn, let's see how you take on my Golem." Crowler stated
"Oh I will." Chumley hissed as he drew his next card. "You're not the only one who can summon a powerful monster that way, I play the spell card Foolish Burial which allows me to discard a monster from my deck and then I use Monster Reborn to bring him back. I summon my big friend, Big Koala in attack mode." A large Koala with blue fur appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2700 Defense 2000)
"That's a big monster alright." Crowler stated. "But it's not enough to defeat my Golem."
"Oh that may be true." Chumley stated. "But now I play the spell card Wild Nature's Release."
"How did Chumley get so good?" Alexis questioned
"From Jaden's teachings." Zevran stated
"Now Big Koala gains attack points equal to his defense points." Chumley stated and then Big Koala gained more strength (BK Attack 2700-4700)
"That's a good card." Neria stated. "But I hope Chumley knows what he's going."
"What are you talking about, Chumley has the strongest monster on the field." Syrus replied
"Yeah but at the end of this turn, Wild Nature's Release will destroy Chumley's monster at the end which will leave his field wide open." Daylen stated
Chumley didn't looked bothered at all. 
"Now Big Koala, smash the Ancient Golem into pieces." He ordered and then Big Koala charged at the Golem and smashed the Golem to pieces.
Crowler: 4700
Chumley: 5500
"And now I play my facedown card, Beast Soul Swap, now I take Big Koala and send him back to my hand." Big Koala vanished from the field and reappeared in his hand. "And now I get to summon a Beast type monster from my hand that is the same level so I think I will go with another Big Koala." A second Big Koala appeared on the field.
"Wait I'm confused." Syrus stated. "Why did he trade in one Koala and then summon the same monster?"
Chazz chuckled. 
"And I thought Chumley couldn't duel?" he stated
"We said before about how Wild Nature's Release destroys Big Koala and then end of the turn." Theorn said
"Unless you get rid of the monster and replace it like Chumley did." Alexis smiled. "Pretty good move."
"And better yet, it's still Chumley's move and he has another attack since it's his battle phase." Kallian added
"Big Koala, take out that Soldier." Chumley ordered and Bog Koala jumped into the air and landed on top of the soldier which exploded.
Crowler: 3300
Chumley: 5500
Chancellor Sheppard was also watching the Duel and he smiled. 
"I see that Chumley really can duel now." He said. "It seems he has a chance to defeat Dr Crowler."
"Way to go Chumley." Jaden and the others cheered
Chumley smiled at his friends cheering for him. 
"I will end my turn there." He finished
"A good move." Crowler stated. "But you have not seen the last of my Golem, I play my face down card, Ancient Gear Reborn, now I can summon 1 Ancient Gear monster from my graveyard and I choose my Ancient Gear Golem." The large Golem reappeared on the field
"Great, now Chumley has to face that Golem again." Neria groaned
"And there's more." Crowler added. "Since he was brought back with Ancient Gear reborn, he gains an extra 200 attack points." Ancient Gear Golem gained more strength (AGG Attack 3000-3200) "And next I summon Ancient Gear Wyvern in attack mode." A mechanical flying bird made of rusty metal appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1700 Defense 1200) "And when my Wyvern is summoned, I can add one Ancient Gear card from my deck to my hand."
"Any Ancient Gear, that card can't be good." Jaden stated
"And now Ancient Gear Golem, attack that Koala." Crowler ordered and then Ancient Gear Golem threw his fist at Big Koala which shattered the monster.
Crowler: 3300
Chumley: 5200
"And now your field is wide open, so go Ancient Gear Wyvern, attack him directly." Crowler added and then Wyvern swooped towards Chumley and went through him
Crowler: 3300
Chumley: 3500
"And now I shall end my turn." Crowler finished
"Great, now Chumley has lost his monsters again and Crowler's Golem is back." Syrus groaned
"Don't count Chumley out yet." Jaden stated. "He can still win this if he plays his cards right."
Chumley looked a bit worried but he was determined to carry on. 
"My draw." He said and he smirked at what he drew. 
"I activate Polymerization in order to fuse the Big Koala in my hand along with Des Kangaroo." The big blue Koala along with a green Kangaroo appeared on the field and were then sucked into a portal. 
"Now I can fusion summon Master of Oz in attack mode." A large green Koala wearing a purple coat and red boxing gloves appeared on the field (Level 9 Attack 4200 Defense 3700)
"Check that out." Kallian gasped
"That's an impressive monster." Sheppard stated
"Totally." Jaden agreed. "That's Chumley's best monster."
"Now I summon Berserk Gorilla in attack mode." An angry looking Gorilla with red fur appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 2000 Defense 1000) "Now Berserk Gorilla, attack that Wyvern with Berserk Pounding." Chumley ordered and then Berserk Gorilla charged forward and then pounded the Wyvern to pieces.
Crowler: 3000
Chumley: 3500
"And now Master of Oz, attack that Golem." Master of Oz sent a large fist at Ancient Gear Golem and punched so hard that the Golem fell apart and shattered.
Crowler: 1800
Chumley: 3500
"And now I will end my turn by placing one card facedown." Chumley finished
"Chumley's doing great." Jaden said. "Every time Crowler brings that Golem back, Chumley destroys it again."
Crowler smirked. 'That monster won't be able to protect him.' He thought and then he drew his next card. "I play Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two new cards." Crowler drew two cards and smirked. "If you think my Golem was bad, then you haven't seen anything yet and now it's time to unleash my ultimate monster."
"It's just too bad you can't summon it." Chumley stated. "You don't have any monsters to sacrifice."
"I don't need monsters when I have this card." Crowler smiled. "The spell card Ancient Gear Factory, this card allows me to summon an Ancient Gear monster in my hand by banishing Ancient Gear monsters in my graveyard who's levels are combined to double the level of the monster I summon. So since my monster is a level 9, the combined levels must be at 18, so now I remove my Golem, my Solider, my Wyvern and my Box that I discarded earlier in order to summon Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon." A huge furnace appeared behind Crowler and then the scrap metal of the Ancient Gear monsters was sent into the furnace which then closed and then opened to reveal a massive dragon made up of scrap metal (Level 9 Attack 3000 Defense 3000)
Everyone gasped. 
"That monster looks even more powerful than Crowler's Golem." Solona gasped
"But doesn't Crowler realize that his dragon is weaker than Chumley's fusion monster?" Syrus stated
"Yes I know my dragon is weaker than your Master of Oz but I can sort that out with the spell card Shrink." Crowler smirked
"Shrink!" Daylen gasped
"Not good!" Jaden said. "Now Crowler can half the attack points of one of Chumley's monsters."
"Now your master of Oz loses half its attack points." Crowler smirked as Master of Oz became weaker. (MOZ Attack 4200-2100) "Next I summon Ancient Gear Knight in attack mode." An Ancient Gear monster armed with a lance and Shield appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1800 Defense 500) "Then I'll equip him with Ancient Gear Tank to give him an extra 600 attack points." A large metal tank appeared on the field which Knight jumped into to (AGK Attack 1800-2400) "Now Ancient Gear Knight destroy Berserk Gorilla" the Knight used the tank to fire a blast which slammed into the Gorilla creating a blast which destroyed the Gorilla.
Crowler: 1800
Chumley: 3100
"And now Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon, attack Master of Oz, Scrap Metal Blast!" Crowler ordered and then Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon fired a blast which was made of tiny parts of scrap metal which blew Master of Oz to pieces.
Crowler: 1800
Chumley: 2200
"And now I'll place two cards facedown then play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy my Tank." Crowler added
"Wait, why is he destroying his own card?" Syrus asked
"When Ancient Gear Tank is destroyed, Chumley will take 600 points of damage." Bastion stated and the Tank exploded and knocked Chumley back a bit.
Crowler: 1800
Chumley: 1600
"This is not going well." Theorn stated. "Chumley has lost most of his life points and Chumley has no monsters and his best monster is gone."
"I don't think Chumley can win now." Chazz stated
"He can still do it, I know he can." Jaden smiled. "Hey Chumley, remember last night, remember that your friends are with you."
Chumley looked at Jaden. 'He's right, my friends are with me and that's how Jaden Duels.' "This duel is more than just me; it's all my friends as well. This card might just save me." Chumley then drew his card and he gasped. 
"It's my card." He said. "The one I thought of when I went camping in Australia with my dad. I remember it well, it was after I flunked my 2nd year exams so I went to toss my deck off the cliff at the highest rock I could find and give up Dueling for good. But then I saw the most amazing sunrise and that's when I remember that things may seem dark but they won't be for long." Chumley then smiled at his friends. "Alright, let's see how well you do against a card I created, I activate the spell card Ayers Rock Sunrise." The field changed to Ayres rock with a glowing sun. "You can't stop the sun from rising just like you can't stop my dreams of becoming a card designer. First it lets me summon a beast type monster from the graveyard and I think you can guess who. The one, the only, Master of Oz." Master of Oz reappeared on the field. "And now the 2nd effect of Ayers Rock Sunrise activates, now for every Beast, Plant and Winged Beast monsters in my graveyard, you rusty monsters lose 200 attack points so with 5 in my graveyard, your monsters lose 1000 attack points each. (AGRD Attack 3000-2000) (AGK Attack 1800-800) "And now go Master of Oz, attack that Knight and end this Duel." Master of Oz threw a punch which went towards the Knight and everyone cheered as it looked like Chumley had won.
But Crowler was not done yet. 
"I play my facedown card, De-Fusion which separated you Master back into his two forms." Master of Oz separated into Big Koala and Des Kangaroo
"Great, now Chumley's best monster is gone again." Syrus sighed
"Worse, now there are two less monsters in Chumley's graveyard so now Crowler's monsters gain some of their attack points again." Neria added as the Ancient Gears regained some of their strength (AGRD Attack 2000-2400) (AGK Attack 800-1200)
"But it's still Chumley's turn to attack." Kallian added
"Well, I can still attack." Chumley stated. "Now go Big Koala and Des Kangaroo, destroy those rust buckets." Big Koala jumped onto Reactor Dragon while Des Kangaroo punched the knight.
Crowler: 1200
Chumley: 1600
"And now I will end my turn." Chumley finished
Crowler smirked. 
'Impressive.' he thought. 'But it's going to take a lot more than that.' he then drew his card and smirked. "I play my face down card, Call of the Haunted which allows me to bring back my Reactor Dragon." The Reactor Dragon returned to the field. "This Duel is over, now I play the spell card Limiter Removal."
"Oh no!" Solona gasped
"Now Reactor Dragon's attack points double." Crowler laughed as Reactor Dragon powered up (AGRD Attack 3000-6000) "End this duel!" Reactor Dragon sent a blast which struck Big Koala who groaned before shattering.
Crowler: 1200 (Winner)
Chumley: 0000
Chumley tried to keep his feelings hidden but the tears fell. He had failed, he had lost and now he was expelled and his dreams of becoming a Card Designer were gone.
"Great Duel Chumley." Jaden called over
"I couldn't have done that Duel better myself." Bastion added
"He did his best so he should be fine." Chazz added
Chumley gave a sad smile. "Thanks but I still lost. So it seems that I don't get that recommendation."
"Oh don't be like that Chumley." Crowler called over which surprised Chumley. "Yes you did lose the duel and your promotion exam. But your results don't matter, what matters is that you showed courage when duelling. When I backed you into a corner you stayed strong. At the start of the year you would have given in but you didn't so you have proven that you have the strength and courage to face your talents and future. So yes, I will recommend you Chumley Huffington." He held out his hand which Chumley took.
Everyone in the stands smiled as Chumley was going to get his dream job. But Syrus has a few tears in his eyes. "He's really going, I don't know how I should feel."
"Chumley gets to follow his dream." Zevran stated. "We should all be happy for him."
"Agreed." Jaden smiled but then noticed that Sheppard had a few tears since he was happy for one of his students.
...
Later after saying goodbye to all his friends, Chumley was on a private plane send by Pegasus to take him to Industrial Illusions to take his new job. He looked out of the window and had a few tears in his eyes. 
"Goodbye Duel Academy." He said to himself "Goodbye Jaden, I will be back one day."
...
All of Chumley's friends watched as the plane left sight. 
"Chumley, good luck." Jaden stated
Solona looked at Jaden. 
"This may not be the last time we see Chumley." she stated
"She's right." Daylen added. "One day we might get to see him again."
Everyone smiled and they were all happy for their friend.
