The word "Duel" immediately clicked in Calvin's head and he knew he was ready for the challenge, relieved he actually was able to complete the test despite his tardiness. He thought he did pretty well, knowing even some of the obscure question because of his love for different forms of the game. He even conquered the dreaded "Name" question. Time to show his skills in the field.
"Hey kid, it's your turn" said the lady at the desk and Calvin walked over to where his was to duel.
---------------------------------------------
Without wasting time, the Proctor started his duel disk and then Calvin followed.
"So, how are we deciding who goes first, rock paper scissors or-"
"I'll go first" the Proctor said. "I activate Foolish Burial, which lets me send a monster to the graveyard, then I set one card face down and a face down defensive monster, your turn."
Time to rock this Thought Calvin, his hand wasn't his best, but it wasn't horrible either. "To start, I use King of the Swamp's ability, I discard his to add Polymerization to my hand. Then I'll throw down a face down"
"That was lame, don't say that" said the Proctor.
"Okay..." said Calvin in a slightly defeated tone.
"I summon Zombie Master" and sure enough, A commander of the undead had arisen from the ground. "Now lets take care of that face down." and Zombie Master attacked.
"Not so Fast!" Shouting Calvin in a objecting tone. "You hit my Snowman Eater, with 1900 defense. Now I use his effect where if flipped, he destroys a face up monster, and I choose Zombie Master." and Zombie Master falls as quickly as he rose.
"Kinda sad a commander of the undead can't even beat up a snowman." said Calvin.
"Yeah, whatever kid." Replied the Proctor, he had nothing else so he ended his turn.
"Well, now it's my turn." Calvin drew "Now I summon Elemental Hero Ocean in attack mode."
"Yeah, we already had someone who dueled with Elemental Heroes so this really isn't anything new" said the Proctor in his ever so condescending tone.
"Ocean, attack his face down thing" Calvin said seeming to ignore the Proctor's words.
"Great, you destroyed my Serene Psychic Witch, now I search and banish a card from my deck, and I choose Esper Girl." the Proctor said not missing a beat.
Calvin ended his turn and the proctor began his. He drew and his standby phase happened, which activated Psychic Witch's effect and Esper Girl was now on the field. Then Esper used her effect and banished another card from his deck.
"I activate Book of Life and bring back my Zombie Master, I use his effect to banish King of the Swamp from your graveyard." said the Proctor. "Zombie attack his lame hero."
"Hey, Heroes aren't lame!" Stated Calvin defensively.
"Well, yours kinda are. Ocean's dead, I end my turn." said the Proctor.
"Well I tell you what Mr. Proctologist, I'll show you my heroes aren't lame!" exclaimed Calvin getting fired up for his turn.
The Proctor doesn't know whether to feel insulted or not.
"I use E - Emergency Oats"
"That's not the name of the card" the Proctor interrupted.
"Which lets me add Elemental Hero Squalltos to my hand." said Calvin once more ignoring his opponent.
"Okay, that's just silly" complained the Proctor.
"Now I summon him and use his effect which lets me do this with my hand" Calvin then proceeded to do some strange flailing motion with his hand, waving his cards everywhere and also producing an even stranger noise.
"...You have problems, kid" the Proctor was getting somewhat annoy and confused.
"Now I activate Polym-"
"No you don't, Solemn Warning." the Proctor interrupted.
"I use Miracle Fusion."
"Of course you do" interrupted the Proctor again.
"Could you be quiet and let me finish my turn, I was nice to you." said Calvin, getting kinda annoyed with constant interruption.
"Anyways, I fuse Snowman Eater and Ocean to make this cool dude, Elemental Hero Absolute Zero."
"I'll buy you five card packs if you shut up kid." said the Proctor, not apprenticing the pun.
Calvin complied and went ahead and attacked the Zombie Master.
The duel went on for some time and each person exchanging hits back and forth until Calvin was cornered staring down a Stardust Dragon and a Spirit Reaper and only having 300 life points left and the Proctor at 1100, Calvin kept cheery.
"-and I was all like, ""Yo baby, look at my Wii."" and then she laughed at me." said Calvin, sharing a story to hopefully lighten the mood.
"That's it, I don't care anymore, defeating you isn't worth it, I activate Telekinetic Power Well and summon two Esper Girls" which in turn, did 1200 damage to the Proctor's life points and losing his the game. "Their kid, enjoy school."
Watch the duel here:

Calvin at a loss for words he just stared at his Duel Disk trying to figure out what happened, the last card he drew couldn't have helped him and nothing on the field, but he still won.
Looking up, Calvin started to say "Hey, thanks for th-" but his opponent vanished, Calvin also felt some form of disturbance in his coat pocket, checking it, he found a note and a small package.
The note read
"Kid,
you got a lot to learn about dueling,
hopefully this will help your deck.
Enjoy your time at the Academy.
-Connor"
Opening the package, Calvin found the five packs of cards he was promised for shutting up, even though he didn't do that good of a job at it. Excited, he left to the bleachers to wait for the duels to end.
