The day continued on pretty frantically, and the staff didn't seem to get much rest. Eventually, when the higher-ups found out, even Turbo Dueling class got cancelled and all students were asked to stay in 'Safe Zones' inside the main building. The chaos died down near the end of the day, and come the next one things were looking a lot better. Classes continued like normal, with everyone participating in every class now at least once. Soon enough, an entire week passed for the students at the Duel Tower. Some dueled their free time away, others stayed in their room with the luxuries they'd ordered. Others were wild and decided to go out and explore the desert, only to get caught an hauled back by force. Rumors even started spreading of students having modified their disks, participating in illegal dueling much past the hours they should. The academy was now truly starting to shine, even if the first few days had been extremely chaotic.

Some of the students were finding themselves in Xyz Summoning, getting taught by Colonel. They'd already gone over the basics, with him now showing the students how different monsters could manipulate their levels to make Xyz Summoning easier, and ways to counter exactly those switches. The lesson did come to an end soon enough, though. [color=#fff83f]"[b]ALRIGHT[/b]! That is it for Level manipulation on Xyz Summons! You all rest up , next [b]LESSON [/b]we'll watch some [b]DEMONSTRATIONS[/b] of professional duelists performing them online."[/color] they shouted to everyone, standing in the middle of class with their arms crossed. He pointed to a girl and two guys in the back of the room, who were interrupting the class the entire time. [color=#fff83f]"[b]YOU THREE[/b]! You have detention. Report to class FJ, on floor 27. Not showing up will yield [b]PUNISHMENT[/b]. The rest of you CADETS are [b]DISMISSED![/b]"[/color] Colonel shouted out, shooing out everyone but those three.

Some other students had found themselves in generic classes like Math and Chemistry, though the looney duo of Ryder and Melchior were assigned to those and made sure to cause as much confusion as possible with them using examples of Duel Monsters to explain away everything. Especially cringeworthy was when Melchior had used Cloudians, Tremendous Fire, House of Adhesive Tape and Charcoal Impachi to explain the way thermolysis  worked. Ryder also seemed to love using Tokens with different values on them to explain the various ways you could calculate unknown values. Both of them had also dismissed their classes in similar ways, though. And Melchior's entire class may or may not be deaf by the end of this day. 

Some students would see the next thing on their to-do list being Standard Dueling, and the academy had started giving out lists of names to the students so they could check who was with them in class. Many of them were unfamiliar, but people like Hayate would notice her brother's name and Ignia could notice Ethel's presence. Oddly enough it was always a certain group of misfits that found themselves being paired together on most dueling classes, for whatever reason. Still, the class was said to be held in the arenas O-P on floor 28. 

Some that decided to show up for class would dread the sight, as they would see the image of a mountain they had met just once before, in the same class. A beast of a man, ripped to the extreme with the manliest, broadest shoulders imaginable. They were a whopping 2m27, with their feet buried solidly into the ground. Their skin was the tightest it could possibly get even when their grey beard and bald head betrayed their age, though no doubt it is because of the relentless exercise and never ending stream of testosterone honing his body. The famous professional duelist who had earned the title of 'Manliest Being on Earth', as well as a reputation for transforming the bones of those who did not follow the rules into mush. His chest exposed, his feet only home to wooden sandals... Ripped blue shorts, and perhaps the most important thing were those sunglasses that never left his eyes. Rumors have it that those are part of transformer's body, and others talk about how they're secretly nightvision goggles. But no matter what... This was the one, the only [url=http://safebooru.org//images/82/c977c141cc8c0ba9a0b0445348239e52e4a30cfa.jpg?81907]Transformer[/url].

Transformer, the lecturer on Standard dueling did not budge an inch until he saw every student he needed to arrive.[hr]Ethel took notes of the various things spoken about in Xyz summoning, as the concept of manipulating your levels to make it easier was foreign to her. She had only learned how to perform it a little while ago, and whilst proficient at it, didn't understand it fully yet. Snipes was a little rough on the lecture, but he did manage to get every point he needed to across and was scarily effective at silencing a classroom. When it ended, Ethel had wrote an entire sheet of paper full of notes. None of her monsters did what was spoken about, so she'd have to study this later. Class got dismissed, and she pulled out her D-ceiver to check what was next on the list. Seems like it was Standard Dueling, something she looked forward to about as much as Action Dueling. Neither of them were her preferred ways of doing things, but rules were rules... The only thing that really motivated her to go was seeing Ignia's name on the student list, a girl Ethel had started to grow more and more fond of as time went on. Even if she was annoying sometimes.

Ethel got up with a little hum, reciting the lyrics of a song she liked in her head. She was in a surprisingly good mood today. The girl decided she had a bit of time to spare before everything started, so she made her way down to the dorm area to lessen the load. Some rumors have started spreading on how she's a crazy bitch in duels, acting as if the monsters are supposed to die. Others speak of how much of a goddess of beauty she was, practically drooling over the fanservic-ey outfits that filled up her closet. Not that the girl cared or even knew about them. It was merely something that caused students to either admire her from afar, or stay away from and laugh about behind her back. She found herself inside of her room before long, seeing a note having been slid under her door. Picking it up revealed it to be some anonymous love letter, a completely foreign concept to her. She got disgusted at the words written on it, tossing it right into the trash bin to get rid of it.

She dropped off her notes and papers, feeling as if they weren't going to be needed anymore for the rest of the day. She'd not picked up any new cards recently, the girl realized when looking at the deck softly resting atop her desk. She probably should work towards that... Picking that up as well as her Hybrid Disk, Ethel made her way back up the elevator to the arenas her Duel Tranceiver pointed out. The girl grimaced at the sight of Transformer, remembering the lectures from last time she was here. Ugh, this wasn't going to be fun for her at all. She scurried off to the side, isolating herself from the rest of the group as much as possible.[hr]Haas groaned when Ryder was using SHEEP TOKENS again to explain the values, slamming his head down on the desk in front of them. Math was not the boy's best friend, and neither were all these confusing formulas and exercises. When the bell finally rang and Ryder had dismissed everyone, Haas was one of the first to bolt on out of there. [color=aba000][b]"I hope there's no test soon..."[/b][/color] the boy whined, pulling out his D-ceiver once far enough away. Seems like the next thing on the list for him to do was go to Standard Dueling, the course he'd chosen at the start of the year. He remembered the instructor as kind of a scary guy, but also sorta good? It was all a haze, really. One thing he wouldn't forget was the tremors, though! That guy was like a walking earthquake... No, he WAS a walking earthquake. How has the school not collapsed yet with him around? 

Though Haas was [i]probably[/i] best off not to just loiter in the hallways like that. He scrolled around a bit, found the location he needed to arrive at, and booked it. Storming up the stairs like Sonic Duck, Haas was the first to arrive... And sorely disappointed in himself because of it. Nobody wanted to be that guy that arrived first. He frantically looked around, but nobody that entered the room for a little while was anyone he knew, or alternatively, anyone that cared to know him. Which majorly [s]s[/s]ducked.[hr]Shinrei hadn't bothered with Xyz Summoning at all. It didn't matter to him what drivel they'd try to sell, it's not like he didn't already know. They were skipping class again, leaning against the wall of the Duel Tower whilst staring at the endless desert stretching out in front of him. The guy wondered if the students here even realized they're basically caged birds, dancing to the strings of this place because they couldn't go anywhere else anyway. In the distance he could see a certain arena made for high speeds, and nearly gagged as a result. Turbo dueling was nothing more than a suicidal gamble in his eyes, and he wouldn't be caught dead dueling there. Not that he'd been dueling in general. The academy had warned him that the path Shinrei's going in will not lead to any success, but he knew his skills were far superior to anything the second-rate duelists running around here could conjure up.

He felt something buzz inside the pockets of his long, black coat. He looked down, grabbing the phone-like device out of his pocket that the academy had supplied to everyone for some reason. It was just another notification of the school telling him to go to class, which made the silver haired boy click his tongue. Even if he was a pretty big deal, this was still an academy and it'd probably be best to follow along at least a little. Shinrei scrolled through the various pages, trying to find what class he'd have to attend. And the result was strangely pleasing to him, spotting it to be Standard Dueling with a few interesting names in it. Two of them were duelists that had quite a bit of buzz floating around them, namely Vincent and Ethel. Then there was also his sister, Tsukiko, which he hadn't seen in a while for some strange reason... Honestly, that alone convinced him to go. He's starting to feel like they're getting isolated from each other, which isn't the intent. Though he almost reconsidered when he saw [i]Leander[/i] on the list, someone that had made it their lifegoal to annoy him to death, or so it seemed.

Reluctantly Shinrei pushed himself off of the wall and dusted off the black overcoat, shoving the D-Ceiver back into the pocket her got it from. He pulled up the Duel Disk, mounted firmly on his wrist and stared. Maybe he'd find some talent floating around in that class, some people actually worth dueling. After a few minutes of this, the boy walked back into the building and climbed the stairs in no particular hurry to get there. The longer he'd avoid running into a certain hyperactive Light dorm, the better.
