In the ocean, Manjyome is getting into a trouble on a sinking ship. He is just sitting and thinking of his past. He was defeated by Chronos, Misawa Daichi, and even Yuki Judai. Then, the image of Judai when he says that he enjoys the duel comes out in front of him. Having annoyed by this haunting voice, Manjyome yells at him to shut up. He stands by his duel disk, saying that he will win certainly in the next duel. Anyway, the image of Judai that expresses his impression to Manjyome's active feeling annoys him again. Manjyome swings his arm out to chases that image away, bue he instead cuts the air. Turning back, Manjyome still has no wayout on the sinking ship. He takes out the last bottle of water and drinks. The water is almost running off. Then, the image of Judai appears in front of him again. Judai tells Manjyome to give up and go back to duel with him. Getting more angry, Manjyome accidently throws his last bottle to that image. When he has realized that the bottle is falling into the sea, he tries to get it back. Unluckily, he falls from the ship into the water. At this moment, there is the big shadow under the water moving toward him. Although Manjyome is struggling, he is falling deeper into the sea till he loses his consciousness.

Ojama Yellow Monster Card

Manjyome is still unconscious in a strange place. There is small light spotting on his face with the voice calling him Big Brother (Aniki=Big Brother: The same word that Sho calls Judai). The owner of the voice, the glowing monster [Ojama Yellow - 2/0/1000],tries to wake him up, keeping on calling him. While it is placing its butt on his face (Perhaps, it is gonna break wind), Manjyome catches it until it disappears. The place becomes dark again. Meanwhile, Manjyome gains his consciousness as a myterious guy calls him out. He is wondering where he is or whether he is the stomach of a whale. Seeing the mysterious guy, Manjyome asks who he is. The mysterious guy says that his name doesn't matter. He is holding and looking at Manjyome's deck, asking whether he is also a duelist. Seeing that his duel disk deck slot is empty, Manjyome claims for the return of his deck from the guy. The mysterious guy feels sorry to him and drops those cards intentinally in a puddle. While Manjyome is getting mad by that his cards are soaked, the mysterious guy gives him a present. It is the monster card, Ojama Yellow that tried to wake Manjyome up previously. Anyway, Manjyome is going to throw it away. The mysterious guy tries to stop him, telling him that he would be regret later if he throws it away. Manjyome doesn't understand what the mysterious guy means. The mysterious guy has realized that Manjyome would like to become stronger because he always groaned and said those words when he slept. He seemed to have the nightmare by Chronos, Misawa, and Judai. The mysterious guy asks him whether he really wants to become stronger. The image of Judai appears in front of him again. Judai tells Manjyome that he has said before that he was number 1 of the school. Thus, Manjyome replies the guy that he certainly wants to become stronger and can go anywhere to get the power. The guy asks him again whether he has prepared his hard effort on that purpose. Manjyome is sure that he can do that, claiming that he is Manjyome Jun - Manjyome-San. The mysterious guy has understood that Manjyome actually wants to become stronger even though he dislikes the effort. He also feels that Manjyome has different power from the others'. He finally decides to lead him to a good place. Suddenly, the water pours down from the ceiling. Manjyome is pushed out to the outside of the place that is, in fact, a submarine, and he later lands on ice shore.

Ojama Yellow	Big Brother, Big Brother, Big Brother, Big Brother, please get up! Big Brother, Big Brother
The mysterious guy	You have awaked, haven't you!
Manjyome	Where is here? Is it the stomach of a whale? What the hell are you?
The mysterious guy	Ha ha ha, my name doesn't matter. Are you a duelist?
Manjyome	Those cards....my deck. Give them back!
The mysterious guy	How pity! They are all soaked.
Manjyome	You, old guy...
The mysterious guy	That card is the present from me.
Manjyome	Present? What is this card?
The mysterious guy	What are you gonna do? If you throw it away, you will regret later.
Manjyome	What do you mean?
The mysterious guy	You murmured that you would like to become stronger....become stronger, didn't you?
Manjyome	I...murmured?
The mysterious guy	You said Chronos, Misawa, and Judai.
Manjyome	I...this kind of things...
The mysterious guy	Do you really want to become stronger?
Judai	I told you before...the number 1 of this school is me.
Manjyome	Of course, I will. The man who doesn't want to get the power is nowhere.
The mysterious guy	Well, do you have the effort for that?
Manjyome	Effort? Whom do you think you are talking to? I am Manjyome Jun, Manjyome-San.
The mysterious guy	Hi hi hi, you dislikes the effort but you would like to become stronger. What a surprising guy! I feel that you have different power from the others. Well, I will lead you to a good place.

Getting up, Manjyome sees a tall-yellow building far away. He also wonders whether that mysterious guy wants to test him. He doesn't care anyway and is certain that nobody can look down him. Manjyome starts walking toward that building and then stops in front of the big gate. He knocks the door, telling someone to open it. When there is no response, he is wondering whether no one is inside. Then, an old guy sitting near the gate with a campfire tells him to stop. It is worthless to knock the door. He explains that here is Academy North School. The gate of the school can't be open without 40 cards. This is the condition of the school admission. Manjyome tells the old guy that he has just lost his deck on his way, moving to sit close to the guy. The old guy further tells him there is still some wayout. Througout the island, there are many cards scattered on several places. People can get their cards around the island. At this moment, he has got only up to 39 cards. Seeing those collected cards, Manjyome decides to take out his credit card and asks the guy for selling them to him. Of course, the old guy refuses to sell the cards that are like his life. Thus, Manjyome changes his mind to depend on himself. He decides to get cards by his own ability. The old guy warns him before leaving that the greater cards are, the more dangerous places they are.

Manjyome moves around the island to collect cards for his own deck. He climbs up to the cliff, looks for cards in ice rock, and even swim into the sea. Meanwhile, Manjyome is thinking of Judai to encourage himself. No matter what, he must be able to create his own deck and no longer be a drop out. Finally, Manjyome has got a deck, returning to the gate. Seeing the old guy, he asks whether he has been still there. The old guy is wondering whether Manjyome can successfully collect 40 cards. Therefore, Manjyome tells him his story to get these cards. He fought against sharks of the north sea, climbed up along endless cliff, and battled against a polar bear and vampire bats. The result is his complete deck. The old guy is very happy to his success. Previously, he didn't give his cards to him because he didn't a young boy like Manjyome to become like him. He is glad to see that Manjyome has returned safely, telling him to enter the gate now. Anyway, Manjyome tells the old guy to enter together since he has another card left in his deck. As a result, the old guy would have 40 cards, and he would be also qualified. The old guy is wondering whether he is gonna cause Manjyome some trouble. Manjyome tells him not to misunderstand because he has actually 41 cards in his deck. He decides to take out the useless card, Ojama Yellow, and gives it to the old guy. However, his hand swings around without control; he can't give this card to the guy. The old guy is wondering whether Manjyome intends not to give it to him. Manjyome doesn't understand himself either since he can't control his hand.

Suddenly, the spirit of Ojama Yellow appears from the card, asking why his Big Brother (Aniki) would like to give it to the other. Manjyome is getting surprised by this spirit. Nevertheless, the old guy seems not to see anything. Ojama Yellow tells him that only his Big Brother can see its appearance. It doesn't want to stay with the other. Also, he has some family and would like him to help it find its siblings. Manjyome has no choice to keep Ojama Yellow, giving another card to the old guy. The old guy thanks him a lot and asks for his name. Manjyome tells him his full name, Manjyome Jun. Because he would like to take some rest for a while, he tells the guy to go first. The old guy sees that Manjyome is such a kind and nice person. Manjyome tells him to shut up and go now. Otherwise, he will take back his card. Thus, the old guy hurries to move on. Manjyome sits down near the campfire. He is getting worried since he now doesn't have enough card. A card is missing. Then, the image of Judai appears again. Judai tells him that Manjyome is such a nice guy. Manjyome tries to punch him to shut him up. At this time, he has just noticed a card on the ground. It is the magic card, Chaos End. Having got 40 cards, Manjyome goes back to the gate again. He shows up his complete deck and asks for the entry. Suddenly, the system scans his deck and opens the gate for him.

Walking inside, Manjyome is wondering whether this old town is exactly Duel Academy North School. Then, he sees the old guy thrown out of an old building. Manjyome asks him what has happened. Meanwhile, many students of the north school come out around the place, surrounding Manjyome and the old guy. Then King of the north school is sitting on a rocking chair while his four partners are standing beside him. He explains that he has just done the welcome ceremony to the old guy. Also, he welcomes Manjyome officially to Duel Academy North School. There is the tradition and the rule of this school. A new student must duel against all 50 students to death. The duel would start from the lowest rank to the highest rank. After passing all of these people, the person is able to duel against the King. However, if the person is defeated, his level is on that losing order. The first opponent of Manjyome shows up and calls for the duel. Manjyome can't stand hearing people calling his name unproperly. Thus, he declares his name officially and loudly that his name is Manjyome-San (1=ichi, 10=jyu, 100=hyaku, 1000=sen, 10000=Manjyome-San: Man=10,000).

Manjyome	Here is Duel Acedemy North School? Oui....the old guy, what happened?
The Old Guy	Manjyome-San
King of North School	Hi hi hi, it's just the new-student welcome ceremony. Welcome to Duel Academy North School.
Manjyome	You are...?
King of North School	I am the president of the students whom people call King. All new students coming here must follow the trandtion and receive the welcome ceremony.
Manjyome	The tradition?
King of North School	That means the duel with 50 people to death. Power is everything for this school.
top 4 of North School	There is the rank arrangement (reduction). A new student must start dueling from the beginning. The rank would be decided once defeated. If you can break through all 50 people, ...
King of North School	...I will be your opponent.
North School Student	Having defeated by the first person...probably this guy...he got the first of the lowest ranks.
Manjyome	Hi, I haven't dueled for a while. My bone is shaking.
North School student	Your first opponent is me!
Manjyome	Not just you! My name is 10, 100, 1000...Manjyome-San!

Manjyome is dueling against the first student of North School. His opponent now has 2000 LP left. It is now his turn. He activates the magic card Limiter Removal to twice increase the attack points of KA-2 Des Scissors [Limiter Removal ~ Limiter Kaido - Instant Magic: Double the attack strength of all of your face-up Machine Sub-Type Monsters on the Field. Destroy all Monsters affected by this effect at the end of the turn]. Thus, the total attack points of KA-2 Des Scissors become 2000 (1000*2) [KA-2 Des Scissors - 4/1000/1000]. This strong strike finally finishes the game, and his opponent's LP becomes 0 (2000-2000). Manjyome has been dueling againts students of North School up to 46 people. The top four students claims that they would not allow him to reach his king anyway. Manjyome feels annoyed to duel against a person. Thus, he challenges four of them to duel at a time. The duel between Manjyome VS the final four students of North School begins.

Marauding Captian Monster Card

First turn comes to the 1st North School student. He summons Marauding Captain in an attack position [Marauding Captain ~ Kirikomi Taichoo - 3/1200/400: As long as this Monster remains face-up on the Field, your opponent cannot select another Warrior-Type Monster on your side of the Field as an attack target. When this Monster is Normal Summoned successfully, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Monster from your hand]. According to its special effect, another level 4 or lower monster can be summoned. Thus, he summons another Marauding Captain onto the filed. The other North School students also play the same strategy. Finally, there are 8 Marauding Captains summoned by the four students. As long as Marauding Captains remain on the field, the opponent can't select it as the first target. Manjyome still looks very clam and doesn't worried at all. Meanwhile, the spirit of Ojama Yellow has appeared and expressed its scare.

Turn comes to Manjyome. Setting two face-down cards, he summons Giant Rat in a defense position [Giant Rat ~ Kyotai Nezumi - 4/1400/1450: If this card is put into your Cemetery from the Field during battle, you may summon a Earth Main-Type monster with an attack strength of 1500 or less from your deck to the Field in attack mode]. A North School student doesn't think that the weak monster like that can protect him anyway. Manjyome tells him that he can see their duel clearly. While he was previously looking for cards around the island, he was thinking about how to deal with weaknesses and finally came out with strategies. Ojama Yellow is very impressed by its Big Brother, asking whether Manjyome is refering to itself. Of course, Manjyome is getting annoyed, telling it that only power matters in the duel. Weak cards can't beat strong cards anyway. He has learned that small fishes must be used in their own ways. The 4 students of North School are getting surprised by Manjyome's conversation because they can't see the spirit of Ojama Yellow. Whatever they are seeing is that Manjyome is arguing alone or blaming his own monster, Giant Rat. Also, Giant Rat looks hurt by his master's words.

United Army Magic Card

The second round of the game starts. The first student of North School draws a card and activates the magic card United Army to increase the attack points of Marauding Captain[The A. Forces ~ Engougun - Permanent Magic: Increase the ATK of all Warrior-Type monsters on your side of the field by 200 points for each face-up Warrior-Type and Spellcaster-Type monster on your side of the field]. Because there are 8 Marauding Captains on the field, one of Marauding Captain gains the total attack points of 2800 (1200+8*200). He immediately lets it attack the weak monster of Manjyome, Giant Rat. Seeing that Manjyome has no wall monster left, the other North School students let their Marauding Captain army attack him directly. At this moment, Manjyome activates the special ability of Giant Rat. When it is sent to the cemetery as a result of the battle, Manjyome can summon an earth-type monster with 1500 or less attack points onto the field. Thus, he decides to summon Gyaku-Gire Panda onto the field [Gyaku-Gire Panda - 3/800/1600: Increase this card's attack strength by 500 for each Monster on your opponent's Field. If this Monster attacks a Monster in defense mode, and its defense strength is less than this Monster's attack strength, do Battle Damage to you opponent equal to the difference].

Defense Ring Magic Card

The North School student sees that the monster with only 800 attack points isn't the problem anyway. Meanwhile, Manjyome activates the special ability of Gyaku-Gire Panda. Its attack strength can increase by 500 points for each monster on the opponent's field. Since there are 8 Marauding Captains, Gyaku-Gire Panda's attack points become 4800 (800+500*8). Moreover, Manjyome opens his face-down trap card, Ring of Destruction, to destroy his own monster and deal damages equal to the attack points of the destroyed monster to both sides [Ring of Destruction ~ Hakai Rin - Trap: Destroy 1 face-up Monster Card on the Field and inflict Direct Damage to both players equal to the destroyed Monster Card's ATK]. The North School students are wondering whether Manjyome is going to kill himself with the others. However, Manjyome doesn't think to do down with all of them. He suddenly opens another face-down magic card, Defense Ring, to negate the damages dealing to him [Defense Ring ~ Bogyo Rin - Instant Magic: During this turn, any damage done to you by a Trap effect is negated]. Manjyome starts counting down the final time. When Ring of Destruction is exploded, all of North School students and their monsters are wiped out. Their LP's become 0 (4000-4800) while Manjyome remains the full 4000 LP since he is protected by Defense Ring.

Manjyome points to the King of North School, saying that he is the last one. King of North School starts standing by his duel disk, saying that he is impressed by Manjyome's strengths that made he come so far to this position. Anyway, that is enough for him. Again, the image of Judai appears beside Manjyome. He says that this guy looks pretty strong, asking whether Manjyome is gonna be fine. Manjyome is getting annoyed, knocking the image away. He also says that he is Manjyome-San not only Manjyome. Then the final duel between King of North School and Manjyome begins.

Devil's Sanctuary Magic Card

The first duel comes to King of North School. Drawing a card, he plays two magic card Devil's Sanctuary [Devil's Sanctuary - Magic: Special Summon 1 Metal Devil Token with Dark/Fiend/1/0/0 to the Field. This token can't attack. Direct Damage done to the Metal Devil Token's controller due to it being in Battle is done to the opponent instead. During each of your Standby Phases, pay 1000 Life Points. If you don't pay, destroy the Metal Devil Token]. Upon these Sanctuary boundaries, two Metal Devil Tokens can be summoned. Sacrificing two of them, he summons Devilzoa in an attack position [Zoa ~ Devilzoa - 7/2600/1900]. He sets up two face-down cards and then ends his turn. He also provokes Manjyome to overcome his play. Manjyome is pleased when the King calls his name without "San" as a suffix, telling him again to call Manjyome-San not only Manjyome.

It is now Manjyome's turn. Drawing a card, he gets Ojama Yellow. Manjyome is getting annoyed to see this monster again. Ojama tells him that the opponent is too strong. Perhaps, becoming number 2 may be good enough. However, Manjyome tells it to shup up and go out to fight, summoning this weak monster in a defense position. Of course, Ojama Yellow looks very scary and is trembling. Setting two face-down cards, he ends his turn.

Metal Devilzoa Monster Card

The King has realized that Manjyome may have only weak monsters in his deck. When the turn is back to him, he draws a card and open the face-down trap card, Metalmorph [Metalmorph ~ Metal Ka Mahou Haisha Soukou - Trap: Increase the attack and defense strengths of 1 Monster by 300. When the Monster Equipped with this card attacks, increase the Equipped Monster's attack strength by half of your opponent's attack strength]. He plays this trap card with Devilzoa and sacrifices it to summon Metal Devilzoa from his deck [Metalzoa ~ Metal Devilzoa - 8/3000/2300: Sacrifice a Devilzoa with a Metalmorph equipped to it. You can play this card to the Field from your deck]. According to the special ability of Metal Devilzoa, it can be smmoned specially from the deck if Metal Devilzoa equipped with Metalmorph is sacrificed. Seeing such a great monster, Ojama Yellow becomes more scared as if it understands its own destiny. After that, the King opens another face-down trap card, Call of the Haunted to resummon Devilzoa from his graveyard [Call of the Haunted ~ Living Dead No Yobi Koe - Continuous Trap: Select 1 monster from your Graveyard and Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position. When this card is destroyed or removed from the field, the summoned monster is destroyed. If the summoned monster is destroyed, this card is also destroyed].

Inferno Tempest Magic Card

The image of Judai appears again. Judai is very surprised by the great monsters with 2600 and 3000 attack points, asking what Manjyome is gonna do now. Anyway, Manjyome feels that this should be more fun. The King has realized that Manjyome has not great monster to defeat his Devilzoa. On the other side, Manjyome has only one combo to beat this guy. The King then declares the attack of Devilzoa against Ojama Yellow. It gets mad at Manjyome, screaming loudly before it is destroyed. Later, Metal Devilzoa attacks Manjyome directly. Thus, his LP reduces to 3000 (4000-1000). At this points, seeing little LP of Manjyome, the King thinks that the game should be decided now. However, Manjyome has, in fact, waited for this attack. He suddenly opens his face-down magic card, Inferno Tempest that can be activated only if he got 3000 or over damage points [Inferno Tempest ~ Hell Tempest - Instant Magic: You can activate this card when you receive 3000 points of Battle Damage. Remove all Monsters in each player's deck and Cemetery from the game]. All monsters from cemeteries and decks of both sides shall be removed from the game. Because the King can read his skills, Manjyome decides to remove all of his monsters from his deck. The King thinks that Manjyome is even throwing the victory since he still has great monsters with 2600 and 3000 attack points on the field. Again, Manjyome shouts at him, telling him to call his name Manjyome-San not only Manjyome.

Chaos End Magic Card

Turn is returned to Manjyome. Drawing a card, he says that the King would regret to duel against Manjyome Jun. He then plays his drawn magic card, Chaos End, that can be played to destroy all monsters on the field only if there are more 7 cards removed from the game [Chaos End ~ Magic: You can only activate this card when 7 or more of your cards are removed from play. Destroy all Monster Cards on the field]. As a result, Devilzoa and Metal Devilzoa are totally destroyed. Furthermore, Manjyome pays a half of his LP to play another face-down trap card, Return from the Different Dimension [Return from the Different Dimension ~ Ichigen Kara No Kikan - Trap: Pay half of your Life Points. Special Summon to your Field as many of your Monsters that have been removed from the game as you are able to. During the End Phase, remove all Monsters from the game that were Special Summoned by this effect]. Therefore, his LP decreases to 500 (1000/2). Due to its effect, he can resummon as many monsters removed from the game as he wants onto the field. The monsters recalled are Skill Knight#2, KA-2 Des Scissors, Disk Figher, and Gemini Devils. Each of them has 1000 attack points or 4000 in aggregration, sufficient to beat the King.

[Skull Knight#2 ~ Skull Knight - 3/1000/1200: If you sacrifice this card to summon a Demon Sub-Type monster, you may Special Summon 1 [Skull Knight] from your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward]

[Disc Fighter - 4/1000/1000: If this card attacks a Monster in defense mode that has a defense strength of 2000 or more, do not calculate damage and destroy that Monster]

[Gemini Devils - 4/1000/1000: When your opponent activates a card that includes the effect of discarding cards from your hand, you can put this card into your Cemetery from your hand to negate that activation and effect, destroy that card, then draw 1 card]

Anyway, Ojama Yellow with 0 attack points is also returned. Manjyome declares the attack of all monsters, Manjyome Thunder Special, against the King directly, so his LP reduces to 0 in a time (4000-1000-1000-1000-1000), and he is finally defeated. Then, the strange guy with a mask whom Manjyome met under the sea appears. He says that the king has seemingly been born, taking off his mask and showing off his real face as the old guy whom Manjyome also met before in front of the school. Manjyome doesn't understand what the whole thing means. The old guy explains that he is actually the principle of this school [Ichinose]. During that time, Manjyome was rescued by the submarine of the school. Because Manjyome now becomes the new king, he also becomes the school representative in the interschool match against the principle school, Duel Academy. Manjyome has just realized this interschool match. He had forseen that the representative of the school would be the first-grade student, so he just informed Duel Academy that the North School would submit the first-grade student in this game. Of course, Manjyome is surprised by that the principle had predicted before the he would become the new king. The principle reminds Manjyome of what he said before. He said that Manjyome seemed to have different power from the others. Anyway, he asks what is his opponent from Duel Academy. The principle tells him that the name of the opponent should be Yuki Judai. Hearing this name, Manjyome is getting more excited and laughs. He hardly imagines that he is gonna have another chance to duel against Judai like this. Meanwhile, all North School students are bowing for their new king, accepting Manjyome as their real leader.

to be continued...
