Vincent's shaking did seem to help out somewhat, a soft "Hm...?" coming out of the mouth of the sleeping teacher. Her eyes flickered open, and their left arm flew up to catch the prop Angelo had decided to throw. She was now fully aware of the situation, scanning her classroom to search for the one who threw it. The woman's eyes settled on a black haired boy, the one sitting next to Ethel. "Try that again, and you'll be having detention." Was all the woman needed to say to them, raising herself up from the chair and going over to the trash bin to throw away that paper ball. Her head turned back towards Vincent. "Thank you for waking me up. Unlike a certain someone, at least you're polite." The redhead beckoned the young boy to get back to his seat, then looked over the entire class room once more.
"Welcome first years! Don't screw up." was her first opening line, looking extremely bored already. "So the school wants you all to call me Miss Rayne, or whatever, but just say Mei. 'Cause that's my name. Mei Rayne. Anyway," Mei strolled over to the front of her desk, leaning back against it for a little support. "Let's just get things underway. I'm not a big fan of student introductions, plus you should all know each other's names anyway if you'd paid attention during your first duels. Fusion summoning! That's what this is about." Mei jumped from one subject to another, carelessly merging sentences even if it made no sense. "Half of you know what it is, the other half doesn't. So let's get this underway, she seemed to perk up a little, turning on her heel and pulling out a remote. With the click of a button the gigantic screen in the middle of the room lit up, revealing the monsters "Curse of Dragon" and "Gaia the Fierce Knight".
"A fusion summon is the act of merging monsters together using the spell card, Polymerization." On cue, the mentioned card popped up on the screen in between the two monster cards. "If you activate it, and have a Fusion Monster in your extra deck, you can fusion summon using monsters from your hand or field." With another press, Poly lit up on the screen and a colorful vortex opened up behind the trio of cards. The two normal monsters swirled into it, then created a new monster in the form of Gaia the Dragon Champion.
"Basic stuff, right? Fusion monsters you can spot using their purple borders, unique to them. Now that we have the BORING stuff out the way," Mei grinned, turning back around to face her students. "Why don't we demonstrate it live?" After asking that rhetorical question, something slid out from underneath Mei's sleeve. Five card slots suddenly unwrapped themselves in front of said sleeves, held by only a single thin metal tube. A very minimalist duel disk, which wasn't fit to actually duel with. "First, I'll summon three monsters on my field." On said field came the trio of Jack's, King's and Queen's Knight. Said field was also the one in the middle of the arena, located between the two sets of benches. "From my hand, Polymerization." The spell card popped up behind the three, and a vortex of light to accompany it. The trio started to deform and swirled together in the colours Red, Yellow and Blue before turning together into a swirling ball of light. "Fusion summon! Arcana Knight Joker now comes to the field." A royal looking swordsmen stepped out of the vortex, brandishing a blade much too large for the hand that carried it and an armor painted black, with frills of brown adoring it's royal status.
"And that, is a fusion summon. Now I all want you to take notes of this, and then we'll continue on to write down different Fusion monsters and their materials." True to form for being the first lesson, these explanations were all very basic and general, meant for those who'd never encountered things such as these before. Arcana Knight Joker left the field by fading out of existence, and Mei continued to give lessons much in this style for the rest of the hour. Sometimes she'd demonstrate the fusion monsters she was talking about, or go into more depth as to why certain monsters are the way they are. They avoided much of fusion, such as the various spell cards used and the monsters that could substitute as materials, intending to talk about that in another lesson.
Whenever the group of kids finished Fusion summoning, most of the rest of the day would be pretty uneventful. The last lesson of the day was a two-hour course on Action Dueling, if the D-Ciever was to be believed. They'd just gotten out of English class, the teacher there being the very same emotionless one they'd encountered on the first day. The next class they would take was inside of a building on the outskirts of the main one, in the Action Duel arena not too far into the desert. The arena was a few hundred meters away, and the students got plenty of time to make their way over. The Action Dueling arena was ginormous, having an open-roof stadium spanning about 9000 square meters for just the field alone. The thing itself was pretty bleak, being a boring black floor with nothing on it while an enormous amount of seats were built into the walls around it. Nothing impressive to say the least.
Standing at the entrance was a beast of a man, though not quite Transformer levels yet. Having an army cut made it seem as though they had no hair, though it was just an illusion with the man's blond hairs being hidden due to how terribly bright the sun was. A dogtag hung from their neck, resting atop a sleeveless shirt painted a shade of dark green. His pants were continuing the whole 'Army' look, having a cameo pattern and colour scheme and looking so smooth you'd thing it was unable to bend. He'd easily tower over any student, standing firm in the ground with his wooden sandals. This individual stared straight in front of him, waiting for the students to arrive.
