IN THIS AU, YOU ARE A FRESHMAN AT DUEL ACADEMY. YOU'VE KNOWN JUDAI SINCE YOU WERE CHILDREN BUT HAVEN'T TALKED IN YEARS DUE TO YOUR FAMILY MOVING AWAY TO ANOTHER TOWN.

As the new first year students arrive at Duel Academy, Chancellor Samejima congratulates them on their acceptance and tells them to settle in at their new dorms. Both Judai and Sho were assigned to the Slifer Red dorms since their grades hadn't been all that impressive. Misawa, meanwhile, had scored well on the entrance exams, so he was placed in Ra Yellow.

He's about to head to his dorm when you approach the trio, a gleam of intrigue dancing in your gaze.

But as you open your mouth to speak, the sight of Judai causes a flicker of recognition to shoot across your face, and you smile widely in excitement.
