Snipes nodded contently, scanning over the eager students with his eyes. It seemed enough were fired up that he didn't need to appoint someone themselves, doing that now would just be in bad form. [color=#fff83f]"[b]ALRIGHT[/b]! That is the spirit! You!"[/color] The army man used the same pointing finger as before, this time appointing an excitable young boy with blonde hair wearing the Light uniform. [color=#fff83f]"You show the spirit required to win! You shall be the first to fight. [b]AND YOU[/b],"[/color] Snipes yelled again, this time using his other arm to single out another boy from the crowd. His hair was brown and his uniform green, showing he is from Wind. [color=#fff83f]"you show the excitement for battle. It is a dangerous attitude, but if you think you can take it then [b]PROVE YOUR WORTH![/b]"[/color]

The bulky teacher turned his back on the group of students, turning around to face the doors he hand been guarding. With a swift [i]roundhouse kick[/i], the thing flew open to reveal the barren field before them. [color=#fff83f]"You two will enter through here. [b]AS FOR THE REST OF YOU LOT[/b],"[/color] Snipes looked over his shoulder. [color=#fff83f]"I want to see every single one of you in the audience seats NOW! Those who fail to do so within the minute will run three laps around the arena! The stairs are that way!"[/color] Snipes pointed once more, seemed like they were a fan of that, and this time to the far end of the room which had a staircase leading up.

[color=#fff83f]"I don't care what your names are, recruits. But what I do know is that you need to get into position! [b]FACE EACH OTHER IN THE ARENA[/b]! Once you are set, I will activate the field spell."[/color] Snipes instructed to both Vincent and Leander, and proceeded to wait until they were in position. When they were, 'Colonel' had already taken his spot at the top of the arena, in a booth normally reserved for casters who needed to oversee the entire field. He'd put in some form of earpiece, which had a single eyeglass and a microphone. There didn't seem to be any terminals nearby to activate the field spell with...

[color=#fff83f]"Action Field Set! Castle of Chaos!"[/color] Snipes yelled over the microphone, and on cue, the Solid Vision technology underneath the bland flooring lit up. Out of nowhere, a castle accompanied by a huge forest started materializing. Vincent was standing at the bottom, looking up at Leander who had the entire Castle materialize underneath him and was now standing at the top. It resembled a challenger trying to lay siege to the castle, with the king's men standing atop to defend it.

[color=#fff83f]"[b]LISTEN UP[/b]! I will say it for this one time, but I want you all to remember the following chant! This is what you will start off every official Action Duel with!"[/color] Snipes cleared his throat, then proceeded with: [color=#fff83f]"[b]DUELISTS LOCKED IN BATTLE! KICK UP THE EARTH AND SOAR IN THE SKIES ALONGSIDE YOUR MONSTERS! ACTION, DUEL[/b]!"[/color] After the 'Duel' was shouted, Snipes snapped two of his fingers and a ball of glowing cards that had been floating in the sky suddenly exploded. This sent Action Cards flying around the field, showing that the match had officially begun.

Ethel actually panicked slightly when everyone was supposed to make it to the audience seats [i]within the minute[/i], and judging from this teacher's attitude, they probably meant that literally. Behind her a few students started to run away already, and honestly, the girl didn't want to take any chances. She darted off alongside the rest, trying to make her way up and find a spot as soon as possible. The one Ethel settled on in the end was one [i]very[/i] close to the stairs, maybe only about 10 seats away. Breathing heavily, she looked over to the arena to see how the duel'd progress.

Haas wasn't in any better of a spot, although he was the first to bolt out of there. Unlike Ethel he settled for something a bit farther, in the back and out of the way... Which is ironic, since this is pretty much the inverse of the opening day.
