At Duel Academy, Vice-Principal Napoleon rushes into the
principal office, yelling out the coming trouble that Principal
Samejima has already returned to the school. Temp Principal
Chronos, sitting at the principal desk, gets up as looking
obviously in panic by this news. Vice-Principal Napoleon
mentions that the principal arrived the island this morning,
and he is now having a rest at the health care center. Temp-Principal
Chronos is getting worried about his position. If the actual
principal returns, he can no longer be the temp principal.
Napoleon claims that the vice-principal position belongs
to him, so Chronos should turn to be a merely ordinary clerk.
Chronos thinks that this is too cruel to him. Napoleon,
somehow, explains that they are having a larger issue if
the problem about the white dorm and the fact that they
tried to get rid of Osiris Red leaks out. Chronos says,
"What are you talking about?
That's the suggestion of Vice Principal Napoleon. My responsibility
is...". While he hasn't finished his words,
Principal Samejima enters the room and shocks them very
much. He thinks that people are talking about some interesting
topic, but he has something more important to announce.
Before that, he tells both of them to gather the proper
students to the teaching room, and he will give the explanation
there. Professor Chronos and Vice-Principal Napoleon look
very surprised by what's going on.

Next, in the large conference room, the students from all
dorms have gathered up by the order of Principal Samejima.
Professor Chronos and Vice Principal Napoleon stand on the
front stage. Then, Principal Samejima enters the room, and
begins to greet the students after his long leave. He has
noticed the increase number of unfamiliar uniform while
glancing at Professor Chronos and Vice Principal Napoleon.
Both of them still look scared. Anyway, Principal Samejima
doesn't care much about this issue, moving to the main point.
"I have brought you such a wonderful
present today!", he says. People become very
excited. Judai thinks that the principal has travelled around
the world to bring back some souvenir. Sho thinks that it
may be some food as Kenzan believes that it should be dinosaur
fossil. People become talkative until Principal Napoleon
has to tell them to be quiet. Principal Samejima expresses
his actual present while snapping his fingers. Then, a globe
medal with GX sign on it appears on screen. The students
are getting amazed what it is. Then, Principal Samejima
begins his explanation.
"It's the duel to determine
the number one generation next (GX) of the world. It's called
the first GX Tournament (GX Dai Ikkai Taikai). The openning
is declared now. There are many qualified students from
the high schools of any Duel Academy participating in this
tournament. The representatives of the duel related schools
from all over the world, including North School, and even
the duelists from the pro league will also participate.
It's the pro-ama (amateur) - open tournament!",
he addresses.
"How great! Am I going to be
able to duel against the pro?", Judai says.
"Perhaps, my dear brother...",
Sho hopes to see his dear brother, Kaiser, in this tournament.
Principal Samejima further clarifies, "The
duel places are this whole island. This medal will be given
to the qualified participants. A participant is obligated
to duel one time a day. First, he can't refuse duel challenge.
The winner will be able to get the medal from his opponent.
Finally, the two persons who have the medals will go the
the decisive fight. I have travelled around the world and
selected top-rank duelists to land here. That means...I
would like you guys to try your best so that we get the
number one champion from this school. There is also the
prize prepared for the champion!". He explains
while showing the GX medal for the students. It seems that
all Duel Academy students here are qualified to get one.
Sho and Kenzan look appearently scared of Judai, imagining
themselve being beaten by Judai. Thus, they start moving
away from him slowly.
"Yocha! Let the victory be mine!
The prize must belong to me!", Judai says excitedly
while stepping on the table.
Sho's afraid to tell Judai that, whenever, the prize seems
to be the kiss from Tome-San. Judai's face becomes pale
quickly as he turns to look at Tome-San at the corner of
the room. He looks obviously scared after seeing the love
sign from her, wondering whether the prize will be the kiss.

After the official openning, the students are talking outside
about this topic. They are curious what kind of pro and
high-rank duelists are coming. Even the rivals from other
schools should be strong. Edo, Judai, Sho, and Kenzan are
also talking at a corner. In this tournament, it requires
them win and gather as many medals as they can. Edo adds
that it has the same meaning as beating the final remaining
one. Sho has heard that the number of acquired medals is
also significant. Edo thinks that it doesn't involve him.
Kenzan considers this a cruel servival (match) whichever
you turn. Judai gets more excited, preparing to look for
some opponent. Sho and Kenzan are slightly afraid, stepping
away from him. They seemingly don't want to be Judai's opponents.
Edo isn't interested to join them, so he walks away. Judai
thinks that Edo merely wants to save his energy, so he turns
to ask what Sho and Kenzan want to do. Kenzan considers
carefully that a person has only one medal. If he misses,
he will be disqualified immediately. Therefore, theorically,
people had better start from a weak guy. Kenzan says while
looking at Sho. Sho looks scared and steps back. He is afraid
to refuse. At the same time, many students have surrounded
him. They seem to consider Sho a weak opponent, so everybody
would like to start with him. Sho screams before running
away quickly. All students even Kenzan are going after him,
leaving Judai alone. Judai looks very active, saying "The
world competition is coming shortly. What kind of people
are coming? How exciting!".
At the white dorm, Saiou is sitting at a piano, having
surrounded by the white students. Manjyome then steps in
and tells him that the members of Association of Light will
gather the medals for him. Asuka adds that it's such a good
chance to make Association of Light well-known to the world.
Saiou just says that he hopes so before leaving without
further words. Asuka feels that Saiou doesn't look as he
has an ambition as usual. Manjyome, anyhow, is more concerned
about the mission to dye this school or even the world totally
white. He gives a command to all white members to keep on
winning and gathering the medals. All white students accept
the order while raising their hands up. Misawa standing
behind looks a bit worried by his existance that there is
still no chance for him to prove.
Meanwhile, Saiou enters the principal room to meet with
Samejima, and Samejima greets him for his coming. He expresses
his feeling, "I really appreciates
your endeavor for GX openning". Then, Saiou
turns to the point, "By the way,
could I ask about my desired duelist?". Principal
Samejima replies, "Ah, anyway,
he is a prince from a country. Any preparation seems to
be much in trouble". Saiou's face seems worried
and disappointed at this point. "After
all, when he's told that a person who held the legendary
D-Hero card that obtained the power to destroy the world
also participated, he made the decision". Saiou's
face turns to be happy suddenly.
Meanwhile, there is a private aeroplane flying straight
to Duel Academy. There appears a mysterious guy looking
at his deck. Then, he turns to ask his officer what kind
of GX participants have been gathered there. The officer
merely replies that there should be nobody who can oppose
[Prince Orgene,
The first] of [Misralz Kingdom].
The prince looks very confident before mentioning, "I
will bury them all by ONE TURN KILL!". He says
while looking at a secret controller bag on the desk. It
seems that the prince joins GX tournament because he feels
interested in the legendary D-Hero card, and Saiou is glad
to have a chance to get what he wants from this prince.

In front of Osiris Red, Sho is dueling against the first-grade
red student. He summons [Jetroid -
7/1200/1800: At the time this card is selected as an attack
target by your opponent's monster, the controller of this
can activate trap card(s) from their hand] onto the
field in an attack position and ends his turn. His opponent
has [Berserk Gorilla ~ Okoreru Ruijinen
- 4/2000/1000: If this card is in face-up defense mode on
the Field, destroy this card. If this card is able to attack,
its controller must attack with it] on the field
in an attack mode. He asks whether Sho is doing the misplay
by setting up the weak monster like Jetroid in the attack
position against his strong Berserk Gorilla. Sho doesn't
answer while thinking of the secret effect of Jetroid. When
Jetroid becomes an attack target, he can activate a trap
card from his hand. On his hand now are Magic Cylinder and
Truckroid. If he uses the special effect of Jetroid when
the opponent declares the attack, he can activate Magic
Cylinder from his hand. Then, his opponent will receive
the direct damages of 2000 from the attack points of Berserk
Gorilla, and Sho will become the winner. Sho smirks before
saying, "You..the first grade!
This Yellow second grade! The real power of Marufuji Sho!
Take and Memorize it!".
Next turn comes to the first-grade red student. He draws
a card and sacrifices Berserk Gorilla to summon [Jinzo
~ Jinzo Ningen Psycho Shocker: 6/2400/1500: As long as this
card remains face-up on the field, all Trap Cards cannot
be activated. The effects of all face-up Trap Cards are
also negated] onto the field in an attack position.
Sho looks pretty shocked. Due to the special effect of Psycho
Shocker, he is unable to activate Magic Cylinder from his
hand. The red student declares the attack against Jetroid
quickly. This strike reduces Sho's LP to 400 (1600+1200-2400).
Sho feels that he is much in trouble because this is different
from his calculation.
It's now Sho's turn. He doesn't look active as he previous
did. He draws a card and gets Pot of Greed, so he plays
it to draw additional two cards. He has got Vehicroid Connection
Zone and Expressroid onto this hand. Sho first summons [Expressroid
- 4/400/1600: When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, you can add 2 roid monsters from your Graveyard to your hand, except Expressroid]
onto the field in an attack position. According to the special
effect of Expressroid, when it's successfully summoned onto
the field, Sho can obtain two machine-type monsters, Stealthroid
and Drillroid, from his cemetery onto his hand. Next, he
plays the magic card [Vehicroid Connection
Zone - Magic: Special Summon 1 Vehicle from your Fusion
Deck by sending that Monster's Fusion Components from your
hand and/or Field into the Cemetery. This card cannot be
affected by Magic, Trap, or Monster card effects].
By the effect of this card, sending Stealthroid, Drillroid,
Truckroid on his hand, and Expressroid on his field into
the graveyard, Sho can special summon [Super
Vehicroid Stealth Union - 9/3600: {Equip 1 Non-Machine Sub-Type
Monster on your Field as an Equip card on this Monster.
This card will retain the effect of the card equipped to
it?? There can only be 1 Monster equipped to this Monster
at a time??] from his deck onto the field in an attack
position.
Sho lets it attack and destroy Psycho Shocker. By this
strike, LP of the red student turns to 0 (1200+2400-3600)
exactly, and he is finally defeated. The red student falls
on his knees and begins to cry. Sho says that it's 100 years
too fast for his junior to challenge him.

On the other side, Kenzan is dueling against the second-grade
Yellow guy. He has 1400 LP left while his senior has 2300
LP. In addition, Kenzan has Element Saurus (ATK 1500) and
Giant Rex (ATK 2000) in an attack position on his field.
On the contrary, the Yellow guy has [Big
Shield Guardna ~ 4/100/2600: Negate the activation of a
Spell Card that designates this 1 face-down monster. At
the time, flip this card into face-up Defense Position.
If this card is attacked change the Battle Position of this
card to Attack Position at the end of the Damage Step]
and [Gear Golem the Moving Fortress
- ~ Kidou Toride No Gear Golem - 4/800/2200: Pay 800 Life
Points. This card can attack your opponent's Life Points
directly this turn] in a defense position on his
field. He also has the trap card [Type
Zero Magic Crusher ~ Zeroshiki Madoufunsaiki - Permanent
Trap: Discard 1 Spell Card from your hand to inflict 500
points of damage to your opponent's Life Points]
faced up on the field.
At this point, Kenzan considers the situation carefully.
His senior is building up the wall by strong defending monsters
and playing the continuous trap to deal direct damages to
him. Anyway, he believes that it means nothing in front
of his dinosaurs with evolving ability. The turn has come
to him. He draws a card and sacrifices Element Saurus and
Giant Rex on his field to summon [Dark
Tyranno - 7/2600/2800: If the only cards your opponent has
in their Monster Card Zone are Monsters in defense mode,
this card can attack your opponent directly] in an
attack position. By the special effect of Dark Tyranno,
it can attack the opponent directly in case the opponent's
monsters are all in a defense position. The condition of
his senior's monsters satisfies this effect, so Kenzan declares
the attack of Dark Tyranno against him directly. The Yellow
guy is finally defeated as his LP reduces to 0 (2300-2600).
Kenzan roars out loud by his victory.

At the white dorm, Misawa (LP 500) is dueling against a
Blue guy (LP 1500). The blue student has [Little
Chimera - 2/600/550: As long as this card remains face-up
on the field, increase the ATK of all FIRE monsters by 500
points and decrease the ATK of all WATER monsters by 400
points] in a defense position, [Familiar-Possessed
- Hiita ~ Hyoui Souchaku Hiita - 4/1850/1500: By sending
1 "Hiita the Fire Charmer" and 1 Fire monster
from your side of the field to the Graveyard, you can Special
Summon this card from your hand or Deck. If you Special
Summon this card in this way, this card gets the following
effects: During battle between this attacking card and a
Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK
of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to
your opponent's Life Points] in an attack position,
and the faced-up trap card [Backfire
- Trap: When a FIRE monster on your side of the field is
destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, inflict 500 points
of damage to your opponent's Life Points] on his
field. Then, he plays the field magic [Molten
Destruction ~ Burning Blood - Field Magic: Increases the
ATK of all FIRE monsters by 500 points and decreases their
DEF by 400 points].
According to the effect of the field magic Molten Destruction,
the attack points Familiar-Possessed - Hiita are powered
up to 2350 (1850+500) while the defense points of Little
Chimera decrease to 150 (550-400). Moreover, due to the
special effect of Little Chimera, Familiar-Possessed - Hiita's
attack points can increase up to 2850 (2350+500). Here is
the end of the Blue student's turn.
It's now Misawa's turn. He draws and plays the magic card
[Death Ritual of Lithmus ~ Lithmus
No Shigishiki - Ritual Magic: Used to summon Swordsman Of
Death Of Lithmus from your hand by sacrificing Monsters
on your Field/hand whose combined levels equal 8 or more].
By its effect, he can sacrifice Water Dragon on his hand
to ritual summon [Swordman of Death
Lithmus ~ Lithmus no Shi no Kenshi - 8/0/0: This Monster
is Summoned by Death Ritual Of Lithmus by sacrificing Monsters
from your field/hand equal or greater than 8. This Monster
cannot be destroyed as a result of battle or affected by
Trap cards. If a Trap card is face-up on the Field, this
Monster's attack and defense strength become 3000]
onto the field in an attack position. According to the special
effect of this monster, when the opponent has a trap card
faced up on his field, the attack and defense points of
Swordman of Death Lithmus become 3000.
The blue student looks a bit surprised by such a strength
higher than Familiar-Possessed - Hiita's. He, somehow, notes
that Misawa still can't attack his monster. Misawa thinks
that may be right. If Backfire remains on the field, his
LP will become 0 (500-500) exactly when he attacks. Misawa
looks at the lovely face of Familiar-Possessed - Hiita until
his face is getting red. His opponent doesn't understand
either what's wrong with him. Misawa later turns back to
his fighting mod before sacrificing Swordman of Death Lithmus
to summon [Atom of the Plasma Warrior
~ Plasma Senshi Atom - ?/3000: {This card cannot be Normal
Summoned or set? This card can only be Special Summoned
by sacrificing 1 (Level 7 or higher?) monster on your Field.
You can half this Monster's attack strength in order for
it to attack the opposing player directly.}] onto
the field in an attack position. Due to the special effect
of this monster, it can deal a half of its attack points
directly to the opponent's LP. Thus, the blue student has
to receive the direct damage of 1500 (3000/2) from Atom
of the Plasma Warrior, and his LP goes down to 0 (1500-500)
exactly. The game is ended by the victory of Misawa.
Meanwhile, Judai is fishing alone at the seaport as there
is no opponent coming for him. He is yawning and feeling
so bored.
