Tutoring

*The day after Chazz's duel with Bastion...*

Kaoru was on her way to the Red Dorm to give Jaden some pointers about his deck.

The same could be said about the rest of the Slifer Reds primarily the concept of Fusion Summons.

*'I wonder if they'll remember what I teach them.'* Kaoru thought to herself, heading down the path to the Red Dorm.

Climbing the stairs, she knocked on Jaden's door.

"One second." Jaden said through the other side of the door.

He then opened the door to his dorm room.

"What are you doing here?" Jaden asked.

"I'm here to give you some pointers about Fusion Summons." She explained.

"Why? I already know about Fusion Summoning." Jaden scratched his head.

"True." Kaoru acknowledged his point. "But the rest of the Reds could use a refresher."

"Well then, by all means." Jaden said, inviting her into his dorm room.

Syrus was sitting down at the desk.

"What's Kaoru doing here?" He asked.

"She said she's here to give pointers about Fusion Summons." Jaden told him.

"Oh okay." Syrus replied.

He still wasn't super confident with himself.

That would soon change though.

"So where should I start?" Kaoru asked the three.

"Fusions." Syrus spoke.

"Right, let's start with Power Bond." Kaoru stated.

Syrus paid very close attention knowing that this was very important for him to build his confidence.

"Now Power Bond is a spell that doubles the attack of a fusion summoned monster. What would be a good machine fusion monster to bring out with it?" She asked.

"Cyber End Dragon." Syrus said.

He knew it's effect would end a duel quickly before Power Bond's drawback resolved.

"Very good, but there's also UFOroid Fighter." Kaoru said.

"But what about knowing how to play Power Bond?" Jaden asked, knowing the advice he got from Zane.

"Here's a example." She set a card down on the desk.

"Let's pretend this is Magic Cylinder."

"That could be trouble." Chumley gulped.

"Which is why you need to deal with it before attacking." Kaoru explained.

"Unless you have something like the Ancient Gears." Jaden said, recalling his duels with Crowler and Davis. "They prevent spells and traps from being activated during the battle phase."

"Exactly." Kaoru nodded.

Kaoru continued the tutoring and the Slifer's were paying close attention before it was time to go.

"Oh it's time to eat, follow me." She said.

They went to the Red Dorm's cafeteria.

Kaoru had brought her own lunch with her just in case and it was a basic sandwich.

"That looks good." Jaden told her.

"I brought enough for you and Syrus and a grilled cheese sandwich for Chumley." Kaoru said.

"Thanks." Chumley said, appreciating the sandwich.

They took a bite of their sandwiches.

"Let me demonstrate what I'm talking about."

They followed her towards the main building and found a couple Obelisks in the courtyard.

"What are you hanging out with a couple rejects for?" A Obelisk arrogantly asked.

"Look in a mirror lately?" Kaoru retorted. "The only rejects around here are you because your dueling is weak."

"You got a big mouth." The Obelisk told her.

"What are you gonna do about it?" She mocked.

"Let's duel so I can shut you up."

"By all means." Kaoru followed him to the arena.

The Slifer's followed as well.

Kaoru and her opponent stood on opposite sides of the field.

"You're not gonna beat me."

"We'll see." Kaoru replied.

"Let's duel."

Kaoru: 4000

Obelisk: 4000

"I'll kick this duel off." He drew.

"I summon Slate Warrior in attack mode."

Slate Warrior: 1900/400

"Your move." He sneered.

"Too easy." Kaoru drew her sixth card.

"I play Polymerization to bring out Elemental Hero Nova Master."

Elemental Hero Nova Master: 2600/2100

"Attack Slate Warrior." Slate Warrior was destroyed and Kaoru drew a card.

Obelisk: 3300

"It's back to you." Kaoru said.

"I summon Wall of Illusion in defense mode."

Wall of Illusion: 1000/1850

*'As soon as Wall of Illusion is attacked, her monster will leave the field.'* The Obelisk thought.

"Does he really think Kaoru is stupid?" Syrus asked.

She wasn't about to fall for his trap.

"I use Miracle Fusion to summon Elemental Hero Sunrise." She announced.

Elemental Hero Sunrise: 2500/1200

"Nova Master attack."

"Heh, as soon as Wall of Illusion-"

"She left herself open." Chumley cried.

"I wouldn't be so sure." Jaden said.

Wall of Illusion was instantly destroyed.

"What the?" The Obelisk was shocked.

"That was Sunrise's second effect." Everyone saw Ryan approach. "When another Hero monster attacks, one card on the field is destroyed."

"Exactly." Kaoru nodded. "And you're now in big trouble."

"Attack him directly."

Obelisk: 0

"That was anti-climatic." Ryan sweat dropped.

"When did you get here?" Jaden asked.

"A few minutes ago. My class just ended so I decided to leave the building."

"Lo and behold I came across the end of a duel."
