Tekkan smirked. His first duel at the academy, and he would love it if this first opponent, one who was way too overconfident, would snap at the face of defeat. "Sorry, but the grin is here to stay. I'll make sure of it!"

He drew his five cards and smirked at his hand. If he could get his main card to trigger, he had this in the bag.

"Alright, I'll go first! And for my first move, I'll place Igknight Templar and Igknight Paladin in the Pendulum Zones!"

As the white-haired youth placed his monsters, the ethereal form of an orange knight and light purple knight, armed with gunblades in the shape of a sniper rifle and a musket, respectively, materialized on the left and right sides of Tekkan's field, respectively.

"Next, I'll activate Templar's effect to destroy them both, and if he does, then I can add a Fire Warrior-Type monster from my deck to my hand!"

Templar signaled towards Paladin with his hands; afterwards, the two knights aimed their weapons towards one another and fired at the same time, only pieces of their armor remaining from the blast, which had sent them to the Extra Deck instead of the Graveyard.

"And using his effect, I add Igknight Margrave from my Deck to my hand!" Tekkan's duel disk swiftly ejected the card, which depicted a red armored knight with two riot-shaped gunblades, from his deck into his hand.

"Next, I'll activate Summoner's Art! This card allows me to add a Level 5 or higher Normal Monster from my deck to my hand! And I choose Igknight Cavalier!" His duel disk ejected another card, this time a pink-armored knight that looked like a ninja, with handguns that doubled as kunai.

"And now, for my final move, I'll place the two cards I added into the Pendulum Zones and Pendulum Summon Templar and Paladin back to the field!"

The two knights, red and pink, sounded a whistle which called the destroyed Templar and Paladin out of the Extra Deck.

"And for good measure, I'll set one card face-down and end my turn."

[i]This'll be easy,[/i] Tekkan thought. [i]Once his turn comes around, I'll immediately flip my face-down and shut down his entire monster line-up by tributing just two of mine![/i] The thought made him grin as he waited for his opponent's move. [i]Watch me, mom. I'll make you proud. I promise.[/i]
