Not to be Underestimated

To say that the class was surprised was like saying that the Chancellor's head is as smooth as a cue ball, pretty obvious. Some of the things that were being said between the students have reached Crowler's ears: "Well you look at that, he's broke almost all the records in one day." "He didn't just get a high score, he got the high score." "I can't believe it he scored higher than Zane Truesdale."
That last statement was cause enough for Crowler to turn around and have his jaw drop all the way to the ground. 'This is impossible!' He started to think to himself, his eyes glued to the screen, 'This boy hasn't even been here for a whole day and he's already making a mockery out of me and my dorm.' He turned around to give Will the evil eye, while the rest of the class was staring at him out of shock.
Will, on the other hand, had his hands placed under his nose, pulling off the perfect 'cool-as-ice' look, along with just one word out his mouth, "What?" He asked, like what they saw was nothing special.
The response caused a loud *thump* to be heard both in and outside of the class room as everyone collapsed onto their backs, while some of them had their foot twitching in the air. Crowler was the first to recover since he still had a class to teach, "Okay students, sit up straight right away, we still have a class you know." The rest of the students did as they were told, while Crowler changed the screen to what the class was going to be about.
Crowler was talking about how to build a good enough strategy when it comes to building ones deck (A/N Don't ask me, I'm making it up as I go along.). "Now remember, your deck must be well balanced with the cards you believe . . ." He was busy explaining to his class until a hand shot up into the air, belonging to his latest student, "What is it?"
"Sorry to interrupt professor," Will said, with a snoozing Jaden next to him before *wham* his fist pounding the boy's head into the desk, "It was getting hard to hear while there was a diesel engine going off in your ear." He explained, while Jaden was nursing a huge lump on his head, and a few people were giving a little chuckle at what just happened.
Crowler just smiled and said "Quite understandable. Now as I was saying." He continued on with the lesson. While such acts would be cause enough for Crowler to give the student a reprimand, especially if it's against one of the Obelisks, since this was Jaden Yuki who got smacked, he decided to let it pass since that boy still gets on his nerves.
When the class ended, Jaden, Syrus, Chumley and Bastion decided to help Will to the next class, which is gym class. When they exited, Syrus was the first to speak, "Gee Will, I knew you might do better than me on the test, but man, with your scores, you've even beat Bastion on the written test."
"Indeed, although I would like to see for myself what you're truly capable of." Bastion said, although his pride was a little sore after he saw the scores, "Right now, as far as we know, those could be nothing more than a fluke."
"My point exactly!" All five turned to face three boys, one with hair that looks like a chicken (I'd say like Goku's, but I didn't have the heart to.) obviously being the leader, "There is no way that anybody could be that good, especially on their first day."
Will just looked at him for a bit while Jaden asked, "Why would you think so, Chazz?"
"It's because Will is in Slifer Red, and the fact that he's done better than any Obelisk is too much for somebody like Chazz and most of the Obelisk Blue student." Everyone turned to be greeted by a girl with blonde hair reaching all the way down her back, with two more girls, one a red head with hair that stopped halfway past her neck, while the other has long black hair that was tied up in a way that matches the hair worn by Carol Brady, "And the fact that Slifer has another strong duelist upsets the so called precious balance held here at the academy."
"Exactly, which is why I think you must have cheated some how." Chazz said.
"You're a Princeton aren't you?" Will asked him, which was more like a rhetorical question, "There is no family more annoyingly ignorant than the Princeton family."
"Oh hey Alexis, why don't you come over and introduce yourself to our friend Will here." Syrus yelled out, wanting to lighten the mood up a little bit.
Alexis did just that as she stuck out her hand, which has a blue finger-less glove on, "Hi, I'm Alexis Rhodes, and I see that you've already made some new friends and enemies." She said, while deciding to introduce her two friends, "These are my friends Jasmine" while pointing at the redhead, "And Mindy." Pointing at the brunette.
Will took her hand as well, causing people to finally notice that he has finger-less glove as will, except these were pitch-black all over, "Will Rawelk. And as for this, just a curse I'll just have to bear." He said, with a small smiles, "Anyway, we were heading towards the next class, care to join us?"
"Like we'll go anywhere with you, you Slifer loser." Jasmine said, with an attitude.
"Yeah, you're not worthy of Alexis's time." Mindy added.
"Sure, I'll go with you guys, since we have the same class together." Alexis said, catching her two friends off guard.
"Well then we better get going while we still have a few minutes." Bastion said, while all six of them headed towards their destination.
Mindy and Jasmine just looked at each other for a sec and started running after the group. "Hey! Wait for us!"
After enduring a couple more classes, especially Professor Fonda Fontaine's choice in gym class activities, which happens to be soccer, it was now time for lunch, so Jaden, Syrus, and Chumley decided to show Will where the school's cafeteria was located at. When they got their food, they found a table somewhere alongside the wall closest to the entrance, and decided to take a seat there.
While it was good to be starting out the first day with some new friends, the one thing that Will wasn't too happy about was that most of the first year Obelisk girls were swooning over him ever since they got a good look at will built he was while playing soccer. While he was glad that nobody recognized him without his cap, and his hair tied up into a small ponytail, catching the girls, and the professors eyes, it didn't help matters any when he started to get sweaty enough for his gym clothes to start sticking to his body enough to reveal how well built he was.
"So during the dueling portion of the entry exams, what cards did you use to help you pass at the end?" Will asked, wanting to get to know his friends some more.
Jaden was the first to answer, anxious to talk about anything involving duels, "Oh I used my Elemental Hero Flame Wingman in combination with my Skyscraper field spell to beat Dr. Crowler's monster."
'Now I know what Crowler's intentions were when it came to me.' Will thought before facing Syrus, who was looking a little down.
"I was lucky to be able to survive that test, so I don't really want to talk about it." He said, while slowly eating his lunch.
'Looks like I'm going to have some fun getting this one to feel more confident.' Will thought about the small boy, before turning to face Chumley.
"Well, if I remember right, I used my Big Koala to win, but I don't remember the rest." Chumley said, while savior every bite of his grilled cheese like it was the Holy Grail or something important.
'No big surprise there, although I don't think he's somebody that I would picture as a duelist, but something else.' Will said, while getting a good look at his friend.
"What about you, Will, what cards did you use to win your exam?" Syrus asked, wanting to know how the new guy was able to get such a high score.
Will just took a quick drink before answering. "I used the combined attacks of Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi and Yamata Dragonto pass mine." He explained while taking a bite out of his grilled chicken sandwich.
Those that were at and near the table didn't pay much attention to the names of the two monsters that were mention, except for two people who recognized the name right away. One of them is Bastion, who is always looking for a challenge when it came to the scientific approach of dueling.
The other was an older boy, with dark blue hair, who was looking at the new boy as if he was trying to look into his soul, 'Can this new kid be as strong as Sheppard claims him to be? While he looks like he could be as weak as his own brother, from the look on Crowler's face when he brought it up, he could be just as strong as he I am.'
"Something the matter, Zane?" Alexis asked her friend, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Tell me about this William Rawelk." Zane said.
After classes ended for the day, Will was shown to the store. The first thing he noticed was a small crowd gathering around a small bin, filled to the brim with small white packages, "What's going on here?" He asked.
"Everyone is trying to see if they could get a decent sandwich," Syrus started to explain, "Although the main catch is to find the golden egg sandwich, which is served only once a day and the best tasting, which makes it all worthwhile."
"And the most fun." Jaden said, "Come on and give it a try Will."
Will walked up to the bin, and looked around with his eyes, while for some reason, the rest of the students were watching to see what the new guy was capable of. Within just a few seconds, his hand disappeared into the pile, and pulled out a sandwich. When he ripped off a piece of the wrapper, he knew he had it when the students gave a few 'oh man' and a few other disappointed remarks, so he went to the eating area of the store to enjoy his sandwich.
When he tossed in the last bite, he looked to see the three walk up, each one with a different look on their faces, and Syrus looking like he was melting on the spot he was standing in, "So how did it go?" He asked.
"Great, I got a grilled cheese." Chumley said, with a big grin on his face.
"Not so good, I found a spicy curry sandwich." Syrus said, before gulping down a glass of water.
"Lousy for me, I found what I think was a Brussels sprout sandwich." Jaden said with a depressed look, while the rest gave a slight shiver, "Anyway, how did you do that with the sandwiches? I've never seen anybody get that lucky."
"I make my own luck, which is pretty much the same way how I duel." Will said, before standing up, "Anyway, I'm going to see if I can buy some new cards."
"You!" A loud voice rang out, causing most of the people in the room to look at the person trying to start a ruckus, "You're the one who dared to embarrass me in front of so many people with that little stunt of yours, and now its time to pay." The boy yelled out, turning out to be the Obelisk who was floored by Will before the first class started, now he has duel disk at the ready.
Unfortunately for him, Will was preoccupied with buying a couple of packs, by the time he turned around, he looked at the guy and asked, "Did you say something?" Not looking phased at all by this guy.
The boy gave a slight jerk before he went from slightly mad to completely furious, "That's it you and me are dueling right now." He yelled out as he got into position, with his duel disk at the ready.
"Whatever you say hotshot." Will say, while placing the two packs into his coat pocket, "I could use a little warm up." He grabbed one of the decks on the left side of his belt, and placing it onto the slot of his duel disk, which came to life, "You first brat boy." He said, while drawing out his hand.
"Hey, Rob, you sure you want to do this? I've heard that this guy has higher scores then even Zane." One of the Obelisks said.
"Those were all just a fluke and I'm going to prove it, my draw!" Rob yelled out, he looked at the card, than his hand, and he had an evil grin on his face, "I play Marauding Captain in attack mode." He said, just as said monster appeared, "And when he's summoned to the field, I can special summon a level 4 or lower warrior monster from my hand and I choose Zombrya the Dark." Another monster appeared next to the first one, "Then I place one card face down, and end my turn." He had a smog look on his face, "Now we'll see who the one that is all talk is."
"Looking in a mirror would be easier in your case, I draw." Will countered, causing steam to come out of Rob's ears; he looked at the card he drew, than his hand, he swap cards and said, "I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down card," He said, while a swirl of wind shot out from the card and did what he said, catching Rob off guard, "Now I play Polymerization to fuse my Lord of Dragons with my Divine Dragon-Ragnarok to bring out King Dragun." When he did this, the two monsters appeared and merged into one, causing people to gasp since this card was suppose to pretty rare, "Now I use my monster's ability to summon Tyrant Dragon!" He yelled out, causing people to gasp again because this monster was even rarer, "Now go Tyrant Dragon, and take out that captain." He said.
The dragon did what it was told and took out Rob's Marauding Captain, causing a big blow to his life points, going from 4000 to 2300, "Oh, and by the way, when my dragon takes out an opponent's monster, and if my opponent has another monster on his fiend, my dragon gets to attack one more time, so Tyrant Dragon, take out the other one." He said, with the Dragon taking out Zombrya the Dark, reducing Rob's life points down to 1500, "And since my Tyrant Dragon attacked twice, I'm pretty sure you know what comes next." Rob's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his head, "King Dragun, finish him off now." The monster sent a fiery attack towards Rob that both reduced his life points to 0, and sent him flying out of the store.
