Aleksey tapped his pencil on a blank page, his right fist held his head up as he hunched over his desk. With a small gruff grunt, Aleksey slammed the pencil on his desk before standing and walking onto his Balcony. He leaned lightly on the banister, staring out at the sea. He pulled a disgusted face at the appearance of a dark metal ship in the distance. His phone buzzed as if to pull his gaze from the eyesore. Aleksey stood straight and tapped the screen on his watch, the contact image of a perky pale girl with blonde hair and bright blue eyes in a custom obelisk outfit dimmed and was overlaid by an animation of an audio wave. A girls voice rung from the speaker on his hip "Hey there!" She said with a giggle "Early as always" she sung "I just wanted to ask...." She said with a childish tone "-if maybe you could arrange an interview for me with Chad?"<br/><br/>"No," Aleksey answered bluntly and instantly "Any questions will be directed to me, ask them now and I may get a response at a later date" his words were clear, his voice deep and intense but his accent almost non-existent.<br/><br/>"Oh... okay" She said a bit disappointed "Um..." She listed out her questions, most trivial or childish others would establish Chad's attitude amongst the incoming student, these questions were duly noted. Her final question was a surprise and even she seemed a bit nervous about asking it:<br/><br/>"I've learned there is a celebrity duelist coming to the Island." She said rather seriously "The schools been told not to publish the duelists identity but paparazzi have been swarming the island for days and I have a good idea of who it is." She said with a bit more excitement in her voice. Aleksey was intrigued, and a bit irritated that he wasn't informed earlier<br/><br/>"Who is it?" he said, betraying no emotion.<br/><br/>"It's Yugi Muto's Child, from what I heard, I think it's his daughter, but that's all I know," She said with hushed excitement "The press wants to know Chad's impression of her,"<br/><br/>"I'll see to it you have an answer," Aleksey responded flatly, his focus had shifted. Without prompting, he hung up with a tap on his watch. He tapped his watch one more time and, in Russian, commanded his phone to call "Contact One-Nine-Nine". The phone didn't ring but was answered immediately by a harsh, shrill, voice "Zdrastvutye, Mr Asimov" it greeted with a crackly, breathy tone.<br/><br/>Aleksey greeted him in return "I require intel on a POI coming to the Island" his accent had become thicker.<br/><br/>"Da," The man breathed "The arriving student is Mana Harpy Muto, daughter of Yugi and Tea Muto, nicknamed the Princess of Games. Her dueling record isn't too extraordinary; she lost her duel at the entrance exam, to a Adam Scotts, but was admitted for her 'Aptitude,'" He said plainly "Recent media activity has been sparked by the divorce between her parents being publicly announced,"<br/><br/>"Anything else?" Aleksey inquired.<br/><br/>"She's accompanied by a Neanthrope, Draco Anderson, related to Professor Jesse Anderson, and was put under various stress stimuli, her condition is unpredictable and the effects of the project haven't been previously observed. Consider her condition unstable, and her status as potentially dangerous,"<br/><br/>"Understood," Aleksey said before tapping his watch. Aleksey leaned back over the balcony, his view now more greatly marred by the sight of the incoming metal monster.<span style="font-style: italic">This will be an interesting year</span>he thought.<br/><br/>Jin and Junji stared dumbstruck at the sight of the island, getting larger and larger as they approached. The twins turned in unison and smiled at the group. Junji opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a bell like tone that came from a loud intercom system.<br/><br/>"Attention all students, we will be arriving at Duel Academy in approximately one hour," the intercom buzzed "Please make sure all of your items are packed; Welcome, to Duel Academy." the voice buzzed away with a microphone squeal and a dull pop.<br/><br/>Jin placed a hand on Junji's shoulder and Junji nodded back at his brother "We'll go get everything!" they said brightly before hopping down the stairs to the lower deck.
