It was just another day at school when Mr. Monoma dropped it on everyone. "Today's parent visitation day."

They were living on an island and no one had heard of this previously, so the class showed visible and audible confusion.

"Did I not mention it?"

A chorus of noes.

"Could have sworn I did... Well, whatever. Because Duel Academy is located on an island, not all of your parents have had an opportunity to visit our facilities in person, and now that you students have had time to settle in and get used to school life here at the academy, it's a good time to receive them. Of course, plenty of your parents are only coming to give you a visit."

Donte spoke up. "Did you forget to tell them about it too?"

"All of your parents or legal guardians were informed weeks ago, though only about half of them have RSVP'd. In any case, today's not going to be a full school day, and you'll all be dismissed at the docks once the boats arrive. Of course, you'll each be asked to give your own parents the tour. We simply don't have the staff to go around."

"Tch." Donte looked visibly annoyed. He muttered to himself, "don't tell me..."

Mr. Monoma seemed to hear him. "Mr. Lorenzo was among those who confirmed they would come to visit."

Donte scowled. He didn't mutter this time. "Fuck."

"Language."

The school day proceeded much as normal, though the students took the surprise visit of their parents in different ways. Donte wore a facial expression that looked like he was on the verge of death and had a demeanor that emitted killing intent the entire time. About half way through the day, the school bell rang, and the students were lined up and walked to the docks.

They stood there, waiting for the arrival of their parents as a set of boats quickly approached from over the horizon.
