[3rd POV]
on of the vast ocean, a passenger helicopter was soaring high above it. after 24 hours, its destination is clear to the eyes on the helicopter's window. inside the helicopter, many student looked with awe and excitement as they will finally set their foot on.. ACADEMY ISLAND!
then a buzzer announcement can be heard inside the helicopter radio. Pilot: bzzt! attention, new duel academy students! if you look outside your window, you will see your new home away from home! now, now, i know you're excited but, dont shove, quiet aside, eh. now then, fasten your seatbelt and set your seats to an upright position, because we're going to land.
[Mash POV]
as the sound of rustling students sitting back on their seats brushes my ears, i looked at the window to see my will be called new home. [Bastion, get your face off the window! i want to see the academy first hand and not from a box TV!], i then finally catch a good glimpse of the academy, [wow, its actually pretty huge! and this is all coming from kaiba's pocket?! though, i dont like how that volcano behind the academy, is still pouring out its volcanic gas.]
anyway, we made it into landfall. get off the heli, walked for 20 minutes to get into the academy. and then we all we're given our clothes that we will wear for 3 years, and then finally, the opening ceremony where we stand there, and watched as a bald guy who is the headmaster of duel academy, Chancellor Shepard, gives some boring ahh speech about dorms and how we are future duelist with a bright future.
alright!
after all that boring stuff happened its time for an outfit check! and.. its literally is, just {insert typical black haired isekai MC} wears a slifer red uniform. the only real difference is that my eyes is 120% way bigger and my chin can probably be use to stab people.
i sighed and walk out of the academy after being told to go and check out my dorm. unfortunately, i watched the anime, and for all i know, its just a cheap ass apartment with a shared outhouse for bathing... [i am starting to regret about my decision of intentionally fucking up the written exam to get into slifer red... oh look, theres Jaden, Syrus and Bastion! ah, if i recall corectly this is the scene where Jaden temporarily becomes color blind in the anime]
[3rd POV]
Jaden and Syrus was sitting on a statue of the card baby dragon, while they are looking at their Duel academy PDAs (personal data assistants).
Jaden grinned as he leaned his back onto the statue: "well, i dont know about you Sy, but it looks like i am in the slifer red dorm!"
Syrus looked up from his PDA, his face lighting up: "thats cool, same with me!"
Bastion then casually strolled into the two airheads.
Jaden waved: "hey, bastion! you're in red too?"
"hmm.. well now, lets see" bastion mused, then casually inspected his yellow ra uniform, brushing a hand over the fabric : "yellow sleeves, yellow button... i dont think so."
Jaden blinked, then looked down on his uniform. his eyes then widen from the realization : ooh.. i get it, so that is why Sy and i are in red.
Bastion looked at Jaden for a moment with a mild disbelief: please, dont tell me, you just figured that out just now.
Jaden pouted, his eyes furrowing: "So what?! ever think im colorblind?"
Out of nowhere, an arm slung itself around Bastion's neck. Mash, grinning from ear to ear, had appeared behind him. "Well, duh, Mr. Obvious!" Mash laughed, squeezing Bastion playfully as he turned his gaze to Jaden. "Even if you were joking about being colorblind, I'd probably still believe it!"
Bastion took a step back, a bit surprised as he showed up out of nowhere. "Ah, Mash! You startled me! And also…" He gave Mash a once-over, looking up and down at the red uniform he wore.
Jaden's eyes widened in surprise. "Mash! You're a Slifer Red too?!"
Mash grinned and shot Jaden a thumbs-up. "You betcha, I am!"
Syrus tilted his head in confusion, "Wow, Mash. I thought you were going to be a Ra Yellow or even Obelisk after using 'that' technique against Professor Crowler in the practical exam."
Bastion folded his arms, nodding in agreement. "I would have thought so too. But remember, this is the guy who placed dead last in the written exam." He glanced at Mash with a smirk. "And although he beat—no, demolished—Professor Crowler in the practical exam, he still got placed in Slifer Red because of said written exam."
Mash chuckled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "He he… My bad for not studying. But also, if I were placed in Ra Yellow or higher, wouldn't Jaden also be placed there too? Since both of us defeated Professor Crowler and his Ancient Gear Golem?"
Jaden crossed his arms, deep in thought. "Hmm… That does make sense."
Bastion shook his head slightly. "Maybe. But you see, there's a difference between Jaden's victory and your victory."
Syrus blinked. "Hm? What's the difference?"
Bastion glance at Syrus then Mash and Jaden. "Well, you see… Jaden here defeated Professor Crowler. You, Mash… demolished Professor Crowler with your Lovely Labrynth and 'that' technique."
Mash immediately pointed at him, puffing up his chest. "Hey! It's called The Lovely Lock!"
Syrus scratched his cheek awkwardly. "I don't know, Mash… The name is just… too un-intimidating?"
Jaden nodded with a smirk. "Yeah, for how horrifying the technique is, it's just too… lovely, if you know what I mean."
Mash huffed, dramatically jumping onto the Baby Dragon statue. "I don't care! I'll make sure that everyone in this academy trembles and shivers just by hearing the technique's name! FEAR THE LOVELY LOCK—AUGH!"
His foot suddenly slipped, sending him tumbling down. He landed face-first onto the gravel with a loud thud.
Jaden, Syrus, and Bastion immediately burst into laughter.
Bastion, still chuckling, dusted off his sleeves. "Anyway, I think we should go and check out our dorms now."
Jaden stands up, stretched, and then cracking his knuckles. "Alright, Bastion. See ya around the dorms."
Bastion smirked. "I doubt that. After all, you 3 dorms are over there." He pointed in the distance.
Jaden, Mash, and Syrus followed his finger, they look into the horizon as they saw a box of an dorm.
[Mash POV]
We both walked to the Slifer Red dorm, and holy shit, its just a cheap japanese apartment! Ra Yellow literally had a mansion as their dorm and Obelisk Blue is even better with their whole fucking castle. and here i am, purposely trashing the written exam test to the point of getting a zero, even though i literally have the power to ace 100% it and live a luxury on the Obelisk Blue king size bed and gigantic room.
[well... I am too deep in the rabbit hole, might as well go along with it...]
With a sigh, I climbed the stairs of our (cheap-ass) dorm and spotted Jaden and Syrus standing in front of a door..
"Jaden! Syrus! Found your room yet?" I called out.
They both turned to me, their expressions lighting up.
"Wow," I said, stopping beside them. "How nice of you two to be roommates."
Syrus nodded excitedly. "Yeah! Kinda weird how me and Jaden met at the entrance exam and now we're roommates! You think we were somehow connected to each other in some ancient life, Jaden? You know, like maybe you were an Egyptian Pharaoh and I was the Guardian Pharaoh?"
I raised an eyebrow. "No offense, but…"
"That's just lame," Jaden finished bluntly.
Syrus frowned, crossing his arms. "Well, it could be true."
Jaden waved him off. "Forget it. Anyway, Mash, where's your dorm room?"
I glanced at their door number and then at the one next to it. "Ah, looks like I'll be your neighbor. My room's right next to yours. You wouldn't mind if I crashed at your place sometimes, would you?"
Jaden smirked. "Heh heh, just crash anytime you want, dude! We'll be heading in now."
With that, Jaden pushed open the door and walked inside. Syrus followed behind but paused to give me a friendly wave. "Bye, Mash! I hope you have luck with your roommates!" Then, before I could even reply, he slipped inside and shut the door behind him.
I stared at the closed door, my stomach sinking.
[Mash: ah.. fuck. each dorm room in Slifer Red houses 3 students, Jaden dorms here is full because there is Jaden, Syrus, and that fatass whose name i forgor... so, the dorm room that i would be in, is basically gonna be random students or background characters]
I walked to my dorm room door, a little bit anease creeps in, this is uncharted territory, and my knowledge of watching yugioh GX anime is basically useless now. I take a deep breath, my right hand holding the door handle.
"well... here goes nothing." and I pushed open the door.
There was no one inside.
I stepped in cautiously, scanning the room. The walls were painted an ugly, almost obnoxious shade of orange, and the floor was covered in a cheap-looking red carpet. A three-decker bunk bed stood in the corner, looking like something ripped straight out of a low-budget boarding school. Three identical desks sat in a neat row, each topped with a lamp, a few books, and some rickety rolling chairs. A large wardrobe stood ominously in the room.
I frowned.
[Strange... did they go out?]
And then a Ding sound can be heard on my ears, and the system {mission} window was automatically opened. My eyes widen at the system tabs
{Missions:

[CLAIM ALL]more mission are coming soon!}
[The 1000 credits are much appreciated. But, the new mission though... Like how the hell am i supposed to "shoo" them away! I am just a 16 year old boy!]
Still, I tapped [CLAIM ALL], feeling the slight buzz of credits being added to my balance before closing the system window. Shaking my head, I turned back toward the room and ran my fingers over the mattress of the bottom bunk. The second my hand touched the fabric—
WOOSH—WOOSH!
2 shadow figures emerge behind me from the wardrobe, I spun around instinctively, quickly looked behind and see the 2 figures appearance. they wear the same Slifer Red uniforms, One had short, spiky red hair, while the other had short, spiky blue hair. Their faces were practically identical, save for a small mole below the red-haired guy's eye
I took a defensive step back. "Who the hell are you guys?! Some kind of circus bandits?!"
The red-haired guy flinched and gasped dramatically, pressing a hand to his chest like I had personally offended his entire family lineage. "How rude!! We are the seniors of this room and have been here longer than you! Shouldn't you be the one introducing yourself?!"
[Mash: these fuckers....]
I forced a polite smile, though inside, I felt nothing but disrespect. "Ah… I see… I am very sorry about my rudeness. The name's Mash-just Mash! Pleased to meet you."
I extended my hand for a handshake, attempting to be civil, only for the blue-haired guy to slap it away without hesitation. The sharp sting shot up my palm.
[Mash: OUCH! that hurt! what the fuck did i do?! I was being polite, you know!?]
The blue-haired guy scoffed. "Dont get all friendly-friendly, slave..."
My eye twitched. [Mash: The fuck?!!]
The red-haired guy took a dramatic step forward, placing a hand on his hip while smirking like he was about to drop the most self-important introduction of the century. "You see..! We are the most infamous duo in all of Slifer Red Dorm—The Twin Rokket!!"
The blue-haired guy struck a pose beside him.
Red haired guy (Akaza): "Introducing, the most handsome in all of Slifer Red-Akaza Rokket!!"
Blue-haired guy (Azaka): "And me! The most dangerous in all of Slifer Red-Azaka Rokket!! And together, we make trouble!"
Akaza pointed dramatically at me. "And make it double!"
I stared at them, completely deadpan.
[What the fuck is this team rocket type shit]
The two of them posed again, hands on their hips, looking far too proud of their ridiculous introduction.
Akaza & Azaka: "We are Twin Rokkets!! And unless you want to be our slave, you must beat both of us in a 2v1 Tag Team Duel!"
Azaka smirked. "The rules are simple!—"
Akaza cut in with a confident grin. "Me and Azaka will each have 4,000 LP, and you need to deplete both our Life Points in order to win! But you will only have 4,000 LP total! AHAHAHAHA!"
I crossed my arms, unfazed. "But also, because it's a 2v1, I can move twice per cycle, right? So the turn order would be like this:Akaza → Me → Azaka → Me.Like that?"
Akaza scoffed, waving a hand dismissively. "Hmph! Suit yourself. After all, you will 100% lose and will become our slave for the rest of your Academy days! AHAHAHAHA!"
I sighed, pulling my duel disk out of my backpack and slotting in my deck. Across from me, the Twin Rokkets did the same, their cocky expressions making my irritation grow. "Hey! If I win this duel, you two will be my 'slaves', alright?"
Akaza grinned. "That is if you beat us!"
Azaka pointed at me, his smirk widening. "Which is close to impossible!"
Both of them: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
[...]
Four turns later, I obliterated them.
It wasn't even interesting. my Lovely Labrynth and her 2 servant just TKO them. I OTK team rocket jessie at turn 2, and did the same with team rocket james here, on turn 4.
These morons did nothing but normal summon 1 single 1,000–1,600 ATK Normal Monsters. No Spell Cards. No Trap Cards. Nothing. I don't know how these idiots think of themselves as "the strongest in Slifer Red Dorm," but holy shit, that duel was tragic.
With their Life Points completely wiped, the Twin Rokkets stood there, stunned into silence.
I stretched lazily, cracking my knuckles before flashing them a shit-eating grin. "Alright, first order as your new 'master' -- get the hell out."
Akaza and Azaka gawked at me, still processing their humiliating defeat.
Mash: "This room is mine now. You two are banned from stepping foot inside. Forever."
The Twin Rokkets paled.
I smirked. "Now scram."
And just like that, Slifer Red Dorm lost two of its 'strongest' duelists and these room is now all mine.
