Magna Chum Laude

Slifer Red Dorm...
Jaden and Syrus were preparing for the upcoming exams by dueling each other on electronic tablets. However, for Jaden…
"Aw! I'm never gonna pass the promotion exam! I have test anxiety!"
… things weren't going so great.
Syrus grinned eagerly at the situation. "Watch this! I'm taking out your Clayman with Drillroid! Now you're wide open!"
"Wait a second!" Jaden said in a panic, moving his stylus pen across his tablet.
"And with this card… I win!"
Jaden stared at the screen and hung his head in defeat. 
"I lost…" He moaned. "Ugh, I gotta learn to stay calm during these tests."
"You should chill out, like Chumley." Syrus suggested, motioning to the top bunk where the Koala duelist was lying down with his back to them.
"Uh, Sy, isn't he… like, a bit too chill?"
"He's fine, just tired." He reassured Jaden. "He was up all night long, poor guy."
"All night?" Jaden said, puzzled. "That sounds like a lot of studying. Especially for Chumley."
"Jaden…"
"What?"
"Chumley already failed his exams twice." He reminded him. "If he doesn't pass them this year, he's out of here for good."
Unbeknownst to them, Chumley was in fact still awake and listening to their conversation.
'And with my dueling skills, that's exactly what's gonna happen.' He thought to himself.
"That's a lot of pressure." Jaden remarked.
On cue there was a knock on the door.
It was the Shiba siblings.
"What are you guys doing here?" Jaden asked the three.
"Helping you study." Arisa said.
Later in class, the Slifer boys and the other students were painting duel monster cards. 
"Hey, Jaden, look at this." Syrus piped up, holding up his painting of Magician's Valkyria. "Wadda you think? Is it good?"
Jaden looked at his friend's painting form the corner of his eye and continued focusing on his own. "Not bad… but check out my card design. It's a work of art… it's pure genius… it's Sparkman!" Syrus looked over at Jaden's painting and saw a crude figure that didn't quite resemble Sparkman. "See?"
"Uh…" Syrus stared blankly at 'Sparkman'. "If you say so."
"So, what'd you do, Chumsters?" He asked, looking up at Chumley sitting in the row behind them.
"Hm? Uh… Oh, it's nothing much." The koala duelist said modestly.
The three boys stood up and turned back to look for themselves and saw a beautiful painting of the Australian landscape. 
"Wow, that's great!" Syrus commented.
"Cool!" Jaden pitched in. "So, what is it?"
"What is it!?" Syrus exclaimed incredulously. "You've never seen Ayers Rock?"
"I, uh… no."
Over with Davis he had painted what appeared to be a gadget but it was Bronze as opposed to the other Gadgets and it was really good.
"What do you think?" Davis asked. "I was trying to go with something original and yet inspired by other monsters."
"What is that?" Syrus asked him.
"Bronze Gadget, obviously." Davis stated with a sweat drop.
Syrus wasn't convinced that was a very good picture.
"Let's move on." Davis insisted.
