Nathaniel walked to class with a book tucked under his arm, which he had checked out from the library. He had worked up quite a reputation in the library after his little spectacle with Brad. The students who were watching certainly had quite a bit of fun, although the same couldn't be said for the disapproving librarians. Now they had their eyes on him every time he so much as passed by the library, and not in the good way.
Regardless, Nathaniel found himself heading down there more and more, researching supplementary materials on both Fusion and Synchro. Nathaniel had never really bothered with Extra Decks, but a certain card had intrigued him. It was a Fusion Monster that he acquired recently, requiring Synchro Monsters as Fusion Material. Nathaniel had always thought that Extra Deck monsters existed independently of each other. Yes, the CEO of Leo Corporation could supposedly wield all three Summoning methods in perfect harmony, but Nathaniel would never have thought they could become a part of each other like that, and he felt himself compelled to learn more. Plus, rumors had it that the invaders had shown up out of nowhere and effortless beat down students and staff alike. They had retreated for whatever reason, but there was no telling if they will return or not. But if they do, then Nathaniel would definitely need to improve his game to stand a chance. And a few Extra Deck monsters can go a long way, since he was definitely not touching Pendulums again.
As Nathaniel walked into class, the first thing he noticed was that the professor was gigantic. He had thought Brad was big, but this guy was a monster. The second thing he noticed was that there was someone there in a dark cloak. Nathaniel's hand instinctively moved to his Duel Disk, thinking that the school had suffered another invasion, but seeing as nobody else had made a move, not even the hulk of a teacher, Nathaniel decided to leave it alone.
He took an empty seat and set down his notebook and pencils. Then, seeing as they still had some time before class started, decided to take the chance to keep cycling through the text in front of him before the others arrived.
