Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dee whispered to Jaden, "No, its more like they don't want to get into any more trouble. They are sick and tired, I bet for getting into trouble. Plus, I'm here too and they know it. So, if there are any teacher fights, it'll happen after I leave."

She had already written all the notes for the Ninjitsu. The assignment was to write an essay on what you knew about Ninjitsu and to create a symbol where your name is in code.

Dee had written down that one of the first things taught in becoming a ninja is to never expose secrets. So, a true ninja wouldn't even bother with this assignment. She went on to explain why that was so, and therefore had finished before everyone else.

All she had to do was come up with a good code for her name without it being recognized. Then she thought of it. She decided to draw a mini female wolf with a crown and had a collar called Dee.

She then passed it down to the front and returned to her seat. Looking to the other side of her, she saw that Cyrus was having great difficulty with the assignment and so, she whispered, "Cy, why not write down about what you have seen from what the akatsuki have done to Trunks in these past few weeks. That counts because the Akatsuki are ninjas?"

Cyrus looked to Dee and smiled. He nodded in thanks and then began to write like a madman. He knew what he could write now. He was so grateful that Dee was not only a student today, but that she was helpful. He also saw that she had finished before him and it had made him sad, but when she helped him, he was so happy that he could not stop writing until his notebook was full!

He then created a symbol on the cover of the notebook and handed the entire notebook in. He smiled at Dee and whispered to her, "Thanks! That really helped. Your cool!"

Dee giggled quietly as she saw what Soiree did. Those who put their assignments on the bottom always get graded first. Everyone in the classroom knew that.

Sometime after everyone had handed their assignments in, the bell rang for final block. This one was going to be taught by Crowler and it was supposed to be actual duel training.

Dee stretched as the students were allowed to, and it was as she was stretching, that she noticed Soiree walking over to her. She smirked and thought, "He's likely going to ask me what girls would be good for him to date. Maybe I should suggest forming a bachelor's club. This school needs some clubs going. I mean, I see the Akatsuki pretty much every day and although the Akatsuki is more like a profession more than a club, still... clubs in this school would definitely help a bit."

Dee smiled and replied to Soiree, "Well, there is probably a better way to get more girls at once Soiree. Why not form a club? I mean, we all know of the Akatsuki. Though they also have a professional job to do, but whatever. I mean, you could form a warrior's bachelor's club. Men only who know how to fight and who are looking for chicks. Dueling professors count as fighters. I bet your brother would join. I think it would be good for him. Like I did hear about the relationship he has is falling apart and well, unlike my children who seem to have the best of fortunes when it comes to romancing, we can't all be that way. Heck, we could have a similar club for the single ladies and in a way, that also forms like a good dating service as well. I mean, single warrior men who find the hot, but dangerous single ladies...sounds pretty awesome to me, for an idea. There are a lot of single ladies in this classroom who talk only about Atticus and how hot he is. The Akatsuki are kind of like Mai in the sense in that they don't seem to fall for anyone but those within their circle so to speak. Andy was Mai's number one choice because Andy is as strong as she is, and lets face it... the Bogard brothers are attractive. You may think I am being perverted when I talk about Andy that way, but, Mai had good taste when it came to the looks department. In that sense, Andy would be a real catch. Mind you, I married Terry Bogard, but I didn't marry him just for looks. There is more to finding a mate than just looks you know. But heck, you'll find that out on your own. So, what do you think about the forming of a club idea. I am sure that there are other guys here too that need help with the ladies and that can fight."

Dee smiled and said, "All right. And my opponent shall be...oh, I know! Yo Alba! Wanna test your hand at dueling? Um, Cyrus, may Professor Meira just borrow your disk and deck? I want this to be interesting and besides, I don't think Alba has his own deck and disk yet."

Cyrus nodded and looked to Alba. He handed his disk and deck to Professor Meira and asked him, "Professor, maybe you can show me how to use my deck properly. It'd be pretty awesome if you did even if you had your own deck and disk. Please?"

Dee said, "Aww come Alba, its easy. And that's why I chose you as my opponent. I can whip your butt. Ha, ha, ha."

After laughing a bit, Dee said, "Seriously, Meira, if you are going to teach at Duel Academy, you better learn how to duel. And lets face it, Cyrus Truesdale's deck is pretty weak. However, if used properly, that deck can really come through for you. My deck is not bad. I mean, I have a lot of random cards in my deck so anything can happen."

Looking at Crowler smirking, it gave Jaden the shivers. Jaden shouted, "Come on teach! Us students think you're cool! You better not let us down! Follow your heart and your mind and that deck will not let you down! And follow what Dee does. She teaches as she duels! That's how come some of us got better!"

Dee bowed before Jaden and shouted back at him, "Thanks for that!"

The duel began and Dee started things off. She said, "All right first thing you need to know is that its like any other card game. First step... draw 5 cards to put in your hand. Once you have that, since I am starting, I am going to draw one more card. A quick lesson for everyone, when you are going first... who can tell me what NOT to do."

Cyrus was the first to raise his hand. He answered, "Don't attack because its against the rules?"

Dee jumped up and down, "Yay! Cyrus! You got it right! You cannot attack if you go first because as Cyrus said, its against the rules and it is unfair. So, a good strategy is to look and see if you have a high defense 4 or less star monster in your hand. Now, who can tell me why you cannot summon a level 5 or higher in defense mode right away?"

Jaden raised his hand and answered, "Its because you need to sacrifice a monster or even two monsters on the field first to do that and since you can usually only summon one monster whether in attack or defense mode, then that's impossible to do."

Dee nodded, "Right, Jaden. Exactly. So, Alba...I am going to set a monster in defense mode and end my turn."

She said, "Now, Alba, before you go and draw a card from your deck, can anyone tell me why I placed my card horizontally and face down instead of Vertically and face up?"

Again Cyrus raised his hand. He replied, "Its because you want the element of surprise on your side. Because your opponent doesn't know what you laid down in defense mode, then if the monster he attacks with has less attack points than your monster's defense, then he loses life points."

Again Dee nodded, "Yep, that's right. In the next phase once you make your move, Alba, I will teach you about spells and traps."

Now Crowler looked stunned, and a bit steamed.

Gulping hard, as he had now known that Professor Bogard was there, he nodded, "Yeah," he whispered back, "But what are you doing here?"
