As all of the students were finishing up unpacking all of there belongings, an announcement went out over all of the speakers across the island. A calm female voice, gave an almost monotone voice over the speakers. "All Students, please gather in the Primary Dueling Auditorium, for the Indoctrination Ceremony Please. All Students are to bring their Deck of Choice." The message repeated two more times, before it turned off. An hour after the announcement, all of the students were finally seated in the stands that surrounded nearly the entire Dueling Stage.<br/><br/>Once all of the student were seated, the lights went out, except for the ones pointed to the Dueling stage, where a Woman wearing a very feral business attire stood, holding a tablet in her arm. "Ladies and Gentlemen, all new students of Duel Academy; Welcome to Duel island. The new Headmaster will be with you all shortly." Just then she seemed to mutter under her breath. "Hopefully..." She then resumed. "I am the Vice-Chancellor, of Duel Academy, as well as the Headmasters Secretary. I look forward to watching each and every one of you grow and blossom into spectacular duelists." She then looked behind her to the entrance, and after a moment, she shook her head. "I apologize students, if you will excuse me for a minute." She then walked off the stage.<br/><br/>After about ten more minutes, there were some hushed voices, but one was clearly mad, the other was apologizing. "...ere now, so I can handle the rest from here. I'm sorry I- Listen, not now, later, please." After a couple more moments, a man wearing the tell-tale purple coat of the Headmaster walked on stage. His coat had a stripe of red going down the length of each sleeve, however. The man stood 6 foot, easily, and was rather well built based on the body shape. His black hair was only just a little under medium length, but it looked unchecked, and wild. He cleared his throat. "Greetings Students. I apologize for the delay. And Welcome, to Duel Academy. Now then, I'm happy to inform you, that several things have been changed, as of this year. First, there will be no more buying packs, to get random cards. Instead, you will buy individual cards with DP, or Dueling points. More on those later. If all of you would reach under your seats, and pull out the tablet and the cord." He waited a moment, as everyone did so.<br/><br/>Adams watched the headmaster, as he kept scanning his face. 'Why do I feel like I recognize him? Have I seen him before?' He thought to himself, as he followed the instructions.<br/><br/>"Please plug the two ends of the cable into the tablet, and into the port on the left side of your chair." As each student did,  the Tablet would power on, and a slot on the right arm of the chair would open up, for a deck to be placed. "All students will now insert their decks into the Deck scanner. It will be scanned, and linked to your tablet, Known as a DT, or Duel Tracker. Once the DT syncs with your deck, you'll be able to track not only Your own Win/Tie/Loss Ratio, you'll be able to buy new cards with your DP as well as Virtually duel others, from a distance. For every duel, you'll be awarded DP, based on the outcome. For a win, you receive 1000 DP, a Tie will award both players with 500 DP, and a loss gives a mere 100 DP. For every card you wish to purchase, you must spend 2500 DP. Meaning, if you cant win, you must suffer through 25 agonizing, ratio crippling losses, before you can even slightly improve your deck." The Headmaster explained.<br/><br/>"Keep in mind however, the only duels that will effect your DP or ratios, are those conducted through Duel disks, meaning Virtual duels are simply for Practice. Next, the New rules. As of this year, all Duels will be dueled with a Starting life point total, of 8000. This change is to allow for the duel to take more time, thusly allowing for more chances for the duel to change tides. Finally, a new rule, simply referred to, as the 'Shotgun' Rule. If at the beginning of your draw phase, you have no cards in your hand, you may choose to draw up to five cards. You will not lose from a lack of cards the turn you use 'Shotgun' but you will next turn, when you must draw one card." He finished explaining.
