The tag duels drew to a close, with Haas, Nathan, Camryn and Megan's duel lasting the longest out of all of them. Leander, Amelia and Shiyu managed to arrive back to the arena floor right in the nick of time, and both Hayate and Hayato were able to witness the tail-end of the class they missed. Everyone lined up in front of Transformer, a man whose expression was as stern as ever. They looked over every single duelist without saying a word, pausing each time he jumped to a new person for exactly five seconds. Those five seconds could instill fear in the hearts of even the most fearless beasts, and it told the students everything they needed to know. Finally, when the face-checking was done, Transformer settled on Shiyu, Leander and Amelia as the fist victims. [b][color=Gray]"YOU THREE ALL HAVE DETENTION TOMORROW FOR RUNNING OUT OF CLASS, UNDERSTOOD?"[/color][/b] Transformer turned up his chin, then continued. [b][color=Gray]"REGARDLESS. YOU ALL HAD NO TEAMWORK. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU PLAYED AS IF YOU WERE ON YOUR OWN, WITHOUT REGARD TO HOW YOUR PARTNER WAS DOING. YOU HAVE FAILED. LEANDER AND AMELIA, YOU ARE STUDENTS OF THE STANDARD COURSE. I EXPECTED BETTER FROM YOU,"[/color][/b] he lectured. [b][color=Gray]"NEVERTHELESS, YOU ALL DUELED WELL. THAT'S MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR OUR NEXT DUO,"[/color][/b] Tranformer shouted. He turned his head to Angelo, Ben, Joshua and Michelle.

[b][color=Gray]"I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO THAT DUEL. BETWEEN HESITATION FROM ANGELO, CARELESSNESS FROM BEN, MR. JOSHUA DOING NOTHING AND MICHELLE PUTTING UP THE ONLY SOMEWHAT RESPECTABLE, SELFISH PERFORMANCE I COULD NOT BE MORE LET DOWN. YOU WOULD ALL DO WELL TO PAY ATTENTION TO FUTURE CLASSES OF MINE."[/color][/b] he told those four, then turned to face Megan, Haas, Nathan and Camryn. [b][color=Gray]"THIS IS A DUEL, NOT A CIRCUS ACT! NEVERTHELESS, BOTH SIDES SHOWED EXCELLENT TEAMWORK. BUT ALL OF YOU NEED TO POLISH UP YOUR SOLO DUELING SKILLS! CARELESSNESS IS A CURSE THAT YOU ALL SUFFER FROM."[/color][/b] After those pairs had been addressed, Transformer shifted focus to Vincent and Brad.

[b][color=Gray]"YOUR OPPONENT SHOWED COWARDICE, AND I CAN NOT FAULT YOU FOR THAT. BUT YOU SHOULD NOT LET ANGER DRIVE YOUR DUELS, MR. MORRISON. THAT IS ALL."[/color][/b] Truth be told, there wasn't much Transformer COULD say to them with Shinrei's sudden departure. Now all that was left was to address the last four that didn't get a lecture: Ignia, Ethel, Andre and Maisy. [b][color=Gray]"AS FAR AS DUELING PROWESS GOES, YOU FOUR DID THE BEST OUT OF ALL OF THEM. GOOD JOB. HOWEVER, ANDRE, YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO DO EVERYTHING ON YOUR OWN. YOU TREATED YOUR DUEL AS A ONE-ON-ONE, AND THAT KEPT YOUR FROM WINNING. I AM ESPECIALLY SURPRISED BY YOU, IGNIA. YOUR INSIGHT AND TEAMWORK LED TO THAT VICTORY."[/color][/b] With that, all of the pairs had gotten a lecture sans for the two that had left. But there were two more people in the room. [b][color=Gray]"THE PRINCIPAL INFORMED ME. YOU TWO ARE IN THE CLEAR,"[/color][/b] the teacher shouted to the Ray twins.

After that, the lessons went on for about twenty more minutes of Transformer yelling and instructing. He demonstrated a few strategies you could use to aid your partner, after which the bell rang signalling classes had ended for the day. [b][color=Gray]"YOU ARE ALL DISMISSED."[/color][/b] Transformer finished his class, leaving the students to their regularly scheduled free time.[hr]Shiyu felt bummed about getting detention tomorrow, but it was kind of his own fault too. He couldn't really blame anyone but himself for that. Aside from that, the boy sat through the lesson patiently and with as little hearing problems as possible. Once it was over and done with, he sheepishly walked back over to Leander. [color=c7c7c7][b]"That detention stinks, huh?"[/b][/color] Shiyu asked them with a little smile, trying to get those two to notice him. [color=c7c7c7][b]"I guess it's better than the Dark Dorm, right? I herd there were some students from that dorm that are causing trouble. It's crazy they'd even design a dorm for them... Any other school would just kick them out,"[/b][/color] the boy chatted it up. He whispered that last part just to be safe, looking away at the same time. He turned back to Leander soon enough, though. [color=c7c7c7][b]"Anyway, what do you plan on doing now?"[/b][/color] he asked them.[hr]Ethel had kept in the back to let her pains fade away, which they eventually decided to do. It's a miracle what 20 minutes of rest can do to you. She felt a lot more energetic now that the persistent stinging feeling was gone, but didn't quite know what to do now. Then she noticed possibly the last person Ethel wanted to talk to: Angelo. Funnily enough, because of the rumors, she [i]did[/i] actually have something to discuss with him. It was going to be awful for sure, but there was a good reason for all of this. Ethel looked over her shoulder to a worried Ignia, nearly giggling because of the faces she was making. [color=7ea7d8]"Wait here. I need to do something."[/color] she told Ignia, the thing sounding more like an order than a request.

Ethel rose up from her seat and began walking over to where Angelo was. She was smart and careful enough to stay out of his line of sight for as long as possible, until it was no longer an option as the girl was basically right next to him. She immediately felt the urge to slap the bastard for the sexist behaviour last time they interacted, but refrained from doing so. [color=7ea7d8]"You."[/color] she addressed him, scorn in her voice. [color=7ea7d8]"You're the one that modifies Duel Runners?"[/color] she asked him in a deadpan voice, trying her best to hide the loathing in her voice.
