In the anime’s second season, when Jaden Yuki returned with his New World cards, he wandered lost on the academy island for days before finding the school. Looking back at the entire series, the island also concealed ancient ruins, secret research facilities, and other hidden installations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So although it was called a school, it was at least the size of a small town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the plane neared, You Xuan peered through the window, studying the island’s landscape from above, taking in its shape, the dense green forests, and the massive volcanic crater behind it—he felt an eerie sense of familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden flash of insight struck You Xuan’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute—this overhead view… doesn’t it look just a little like “The Emperor’s Island”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Emperor’s Island” is a core field spell card for the Emperor deck, but such a thing shouldn’t exist in the GX anime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan had never noticed it before, but only now, flying directly over the Duel Academy island, did he realize—the island’s shape matched that card’s illustration almost perfectly, perhaps ninety to a hundred percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At nine in the morning, the new students gathered in the auditorium for the opening ceremony, listening to Principal Jiaodao ’s speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome, elite duelists.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Jiaodao  stood on the podium, smiling into the microphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each of you has fought your way through narrow doors to reach this place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zzzzz~ Zzzzz~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snoring from the front row drew glances from surrounding students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan didn’t even need to look—he could guess it was Jaden Yuki. He’d been asleep since the second sentence of the principal’s speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, You Xuan had to admit he admired Jaden’s talent. During the new student address, everyone stood before the podium, and Jaden stood unusually close to the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did he ignore the pressure of facing school leadership, he also tuned out the blaring loudspeaker—just standing there and falling asleep was Jaden’s unique skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Jaden had overdone it—he toppled sideways, making quite a racket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Clowson couldn’t take it anymore: “Principal is speaking, Nohne! Are you deficient in calcium, you underachiever?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, sorry, sorry,” Jaden sat up, grinning as he rubbed his head. “Just a little slip-up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clowson’s face turned crimson—from a Greedy Vessel to a Greedy Bottle—instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of “slip-up”? You sleep through the principal’s speech, get caught, and your first reaction isn’t to apologize or reflect—but to regret getting caught?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to explode, Principal Jiaodao  chuckled again: “Come now, Professor Clowson, don’t be angry on the first day. These students have traveled far and are tired—it’s understandable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Clowson swallowed his rage—for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after standing up, Jaden immediately dozed off again—but from then on, Clowson’s eyes never left him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan suddenly understood why the professor had disliked Jaden so much in the early episodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A privileged student, skips class, never turns in homework, yet absurdly strong—easily becoming a role model for other students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clowson’s methods were extreme, but his motives weren’t hard to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the opening ceremony, new students followed academy staff to collect their uniforms and student IDs. Upperclassmen volunteers guided them through the registration process and then led them to their dormitories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unsurprisingly, You Xuan received the Ra Yellow uniform and student card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before arriving, he’d considered whether Chairman Kaiba might be bored enough to punish him for defeating the AI with Blue-Eyes—sending him to Red Dorm. After all, Kaiba held grudges; back then, Yugi had once bested Kaiba with Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and Kaiba had called him “commoner” nonstop ever since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it turned out Kaiba wasn’t that petty—he didn’t bother with such trivial matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan, admitted with the top score, was naturally assigned to Ra Yellow Dorm and became a top candidate for the fastest promotion to Obelisk Blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If dorm rank were merely ceremonial, You Xuan wouldn’t care—even the lowest would do. But higher-ranked dorms offered priority card access, better cafeterias, superior chefs, single rooms with top-tier facilities, and overall far more comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Red Dorm was small and outdated; its cafeteria was despised by everyone except the bone-chilling Jaden. Living there would be a pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ra Yellow Dorm wasn’t as luxurious as Obelisk Blue, but at least all rooms were single, and the facilities were quite good. You Xuan was satisfied when he saw his own room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved his luggage in, and the first day passed quickly with simple cleaning and organizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first night’s dinner was the dorm’s new student gathering—the chance to meet their dorm master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan recalled: in the original work, the dorm master of Osiris Red was Master Daideji—superficially a bumbling fool, but secretly a hidden dark duelist and the academy’s strongest fighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dorm master of Obelisk Blue was Greedy—no, Professor Clowson—equally prominent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who was the dorm master of Ra Yellow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wa~ Hahaha—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the new student banquet, every student stared in shock at the man wearing a paper bag on his head, a “ Ka ” character on his chest, striking a pose identical to the Powerpuff Boy from Crayon Shin-chan, laughing loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am the Curry Demon! Your dorm master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bow before the power of curry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new students: “???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this our dorm master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new students exchanged bewildered glances, each seeing in the others’ eyes confusion—and deep dread for their dorm’s future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan: “.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dorm master of Yellow Dorm was Professor Huashan—a curry fanatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his deck was the Curry Deck—yes, an anime-exclusive deck, never released as real cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, my name is Huashan, your dorm master. First, on behalf of Ra Yellow Dorm, I welcome each of you. As new students assigned to Ra Yellow, you are all elites among elites.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, we’d have each newcomer introduce themselves or perform a small talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But! This is the Duel Academy—everything is decided by dueling! So here is what I’m about to say—your first trial after enrollment—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, and his curry cloak billowed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Duel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, while searching for cards, I cut and trimmed a lot of text. Tomorrow, I still want to post a massive update in one day, so I’m saving word count for tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow’s first academy duel—I’ll finish it in one day, no matter the word count.
