Two years later.
Kaiba Land.
The entrance examination for the Duel Academy Junior High was held here.
Inside the arena, students and examiners were engaged in fierce Duels.
Outside, several boys and girls watched, occasionally letting out exclamations.
Alexis Rhodes's two best friends, Junko and Momoe, had already completed their Duel Academy entrance exams.
They were in the hallway, watching Alexis Rhodes's Duel.
After three years in the Duel Academy Junior High, both girls had grown considerably.
Their Dueling skills and physical changes both made them look much more mature.
Compared to them, the biggest change was…
"Activate the Ritual Spell, [Machine Angel Ritual]!"
"I sacrifice monsters from my hand and field to Ritual Summon!"
"Appear! [Cyber Angel Dakini]!"
"Direct attack the opponent's player!"
A cool voice echoed through the arena.
The surrounding boys watching the match all made astonished noises.
"Look, it's the Duel Queen of the Junior High, Alexis Rhodes."
"She's amazing, Alexis Rhodes! She ended the Duel in one go!"
"She's pretty, has a great figure, and her Dueling is so flashy! Truly worthy of being the Duel Academy Queen."
Looking at the golden-haired girl with the proud figure and radiant appearance in the arena.
The boys all had lovesick expressions.
The cheers and screams around her didn't change Alexis Rhodes's expression.
She put away her Duel Disk, bowed to the head examiner, and walked out of the Dueling arena.
"Alexis Rhodes! Congratulations on passing the Duel exam!"
Junko and Momoe immediately came forward, laughing and surrounding Alexis Rhodes.
"This kind of thing is easy for the Duel Academy Queen, Momoe is making too much of a fuss."
"But Alexis Rhodes doesn't seem very happy."
Seeing Alexis Rhodes's calm expression, her two best friends exchanged glances.
"What's wrong, Alexis Rhodes?"
"Ah…" Alexis Rhodes paused slightly, then shook her head with a wry smile, "It's nothing, I just zoned out a bit."
"Hehe, zoned out? Are you thinking about a boy?" Junko leaned closer with a mischievous smile.
"What are you talking about, Junko!" Alexis Rhodes raised an eyebrow, glaring at Junko.
Her two best friends, despite studying at the academy for so long, hadn't made any progress in this area.
"Alexis Rhodes, you're sixteen this year, right? Aren't you planning to get a boyfriend in the Senior High?"
Momoe asked curiously, with her hands behind her back, "With your conditions, finding a boyfriend should be easy, right?"
"I already have a love interest," Alexis Rhodes glanced at Momoe, smiling.
"Eh? Really?!" Junko and Momoe exclaimed, "Who is it, who is it! How could you secretly be in love and we didn't know!"
"My love interest is Dueling," Alexis Rhodes shook the Duel Disk on her left arm, smiling, "Until I achieve my dream, my only love interest is Dueling."
"I've already fallen in love with Dueling, I won't like anyone else."
"What?!" Her two best friends were instantly disappointed.
Meanwhile, several passing boys perked up their ears.
Upon hearing Alexis Rhodes's words, they all wished they could change their names to 'Dueling' on the spot.
"Speaking of which, what's your dream, Alexis Rhodes?" Junko didn't give up on digging for gossip about her best friend. She blinked, asking curiously.
"Well…"
A boy's figure appeared in Alexis Rhodes's mind.
"My former wish was to become a teacher…"
"But now, I want to pursue the path of a Professional Duelist."
Alexis Rhodes looked at her Duel Disk, her eyes filled with determination.
"I want to become a Professional Duelist."
Professional Duelist…
Junko and Momoe exchanged glances.
"Speaking of Professional Duelists… we used to have a classmate who was a Professional Duelist."
"Yeah, that guy Jaden Yuki, he's been out of touch ever since the Professional League two years ago."
"…" Alexis Rhodes fell silent.
Indeed.
Since the Professional League incident two years ago, Jaden Yuki had disappeared from the Dueling world.
No one knew where Jaden Yuki had gone.
This genius boy, who had brought a huge impact to the Dueling world, seemed to have evaporated, which was somewhat hard to accept.
"Jaden Yuki…"
Alexis Rhodes sighed.
In her heart, she still held onto that competitive spirit from two years ago.
She wanted to become stronger, to surpass the boy who had defeated her.
Unfortunately, after she became stronger, he vanished without a trace.
"Perhaps he no longer Duels…"
Murmuring softly, Alexis Rhodes felt a pang of regret.
"Oh right, next week is the entrance exam for the Duel Academy Senior High, should we go and watch?"
"Yeah, Alexis Rhodes, you should come too, maybe there'll be some good new students…"
"Uh, we'll see then."
Alexis Rhodes forced a smile, seemingly not in the mood.
Compared to these matters,
Alexis Rhodes was more concerned about another thing.
"Alexis Rhodes, do you want to get some snacks later?"
"No, I have something else to do, I'll be leaving first." Alexis Rhodes shook her head and walked quickly out of the academy.
Junko and Momoe exchanged glances, both sighing helplessly.
"Alexis Rhodes has been like this ever since that incident."
"Yeah. After all, it was her brother who went missing."
Stepping out of the academy, Alexis Rhodes dialed a phone number.
As a voice answered the call, Alexis Rhodes paused for a moment before speaking: "Is this Zane Truesdale, Senior Zane…?"
"Um… regarding my brother's matter…"
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then a calm voice said, "Next week, come to the Duel Academy entrance exam."
"Although the clues are few, they should provide some help in finding Atticus Rhodes and the others."
"Next week? I understand, I'll be there."
Alexis Rhodes nodded seriously and hung up the phone.
A look of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Brother…"
"I will definitely find you."
Fate, it seemed, was once again following its original course.
On this day.
At a peaceful town card shop.
The card shop was bustling with activity both inside and out.
Many players who loved Duel Monsters gathered here.
They Dueled at tables, using playmats.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're amazing, kid, you actually have such a rare card!"
"Hey, hey, that Set Card is a bit much! Let's redo it, redo it!"
Everyone Dueled with laughter.
The female shop assistant also smiled as she watched the Dueling situation.
Just then.
The shop door was pushed open.
The female shop assistant quickly turned around, smiling to greet the customer: "Welcome!"
Looking at the boy who walked into the card shop, the female shop assistant froze, her mouth forming an 'O' shape.
The boy in the red jacket scratched his much longer brown jellyfish haircut.
On his mature and handsome face, there was a slightly embarrassed wry smile.
"Um, excuse me, do you have any extra Structure Decks?"
"I'm here to buy a few packs…"
