[[Chazz Princeton]] watches the duel between [[Jaden Yuki]] and [[Syrus Truesdale]] from a distance. [[Midori Hibiki|Professor Hibiki]] returns from her business trip, and is curious as why there's no much commotion at the Duel Field after school hours. She approaches Chazz, and he reveals the situation and that Syrus is dueling to avoid explusion due to his grade of zero on the midterm. Syrus has [[activate]]d "[[Transformation]]", and he thinks he's bottled up the kindness his [[Zane Truesdale|brother]] chided in for in this armor, which resembles the "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]". He reveals its effect, explaining why "[[Elemental Hero Stratos]]" was destroyed and the damage reduced to zero. He also reveals that he can [[negate]] as many attacks as he wants, but when "Transformation" is destroyed, he'll take damage equal to all the damage he negated with it.
  
[[Midori Hibiki]] encounters [[Chazz Princeton]] observing [[Jaden Yuki]] and [[Syrus Truesdale]]'s duel from a distance after school hours. She asks him what is going on, and when he tells her that Syrus is dueling to avoid expulsion, she is shocked and cannot believe the news.

Jaden [[Normal Summon|Summons]] "[[Elemental Hero Woodsman]]" in [[Defense Position]] and activates "[[Oil]]", letting him return the [[FIRE]]-[[attribute]] "[[Elemental Hero Lady Heat]]" in his [[Graveyard]] to his [[hand]]. Syrus believes he'll try to Summon "[[Elemental Hero Inferno]]", but realizes he does not have "[[Polymerization]]" in his hand, but believes he'll [[Draw a card|draw]] it next turn. Jaden and ends his turn, and Syrus Summons "[[Shuttleroid]]" in [[Attack Position]]. Jaden draws, and Syrus was correct - it's "Polymerization", which Jaden activates, fusing the "Lady Heat" and "[[Elemental Hero Heat|Elemental Hero The Heat]]" in his hand to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Elemental Hero Inferno]]". He attacks Syrus' "Shuttleroid", and Syrus activates its effect, allowing him [[Removed from play|remove]] it from play for two turns, and letting "Transformation" destroy "Inferno". Despite what's on the line, and Syrus' impressive strength, Jaden is now finally enjoying himself.
  
Syrus, having equipped "[[Transformation]]", recalls his [[Zane Truesdale|brother]] saying that he was too kind to be a duelist, and thinks that his "kindness" is now sealed beneath the armor. Jaden attempts to attack Syrus with "[[Elemental Hero Inferno]]", but Syrus turns Inferno's attack into a direct attack and destroys the monster, impressing Jaden.
+
Syrus draws "[[Carrierroid]]" and Summons it. He recalled that Jaden asked him why he refers to him as "big brother", despite having a real big brother. Syrus thinks that it's because his real brother taught him to duel, and due to Jaden's skill, he reminds him of Zane. Jaden activates "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" to desroy "Transformation", but Syrus activates the effect of "Carrieroid", which lets him [[discard]] a card to remove "Transformation" from play for two turns, yet keep its effect active. Jaden ends his turn, and "Shuttleroid" returns to the [[Playing Field|Field]], its effect inflicting Jaden 1000 points of damage. Syrus reveals that he may treat his three monsters as [[Spell Cards]] and Special Summon "[[Card Appearances:Armoroid|Armorroid]]" from his [[Fusion Deck]], while [[equip]]ping it with its own [[Fusion Material Monsters]]. He attacks and destroys "Woodsman" and "Armoroid's" effect activates, dealing half of its attack points as damage.  
  
Syrus recalls Jaden asking him why he calls him "bro" when he has a real brother. Syrus remembers that Jaden's passion for dueling reminded him of his brother. He wants to become as good as both of his "brothers", and is thus determined to stay at the academy. Jaden draws "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", which, by destroying "[[Transformation]]" and causing Syrus to take the damage he should have taken, would guarantee his victory, but remembers that if Syrus loses, he will be expelled. Syrus admits that the duel was fun, and demands that he not hold back. Jaden plays "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", but Syrus guards himself against the effect by using "[[Carrieroid]]'s" ability to remove the card from the game while keeping it in effect.
+
Jaden is shocked that he's about to lose, but knows that losing his Deck is not an option, because of who gave him the Deck to begin with. He plays "[[Pot of Greed]]", drawing two cards. He Summons "[[Elemental Hero Voltic]]", equipping it with "[[Voltic Spear]]", which gives it a 1000 point attack boost. He then activates "[[Hero Solidarity]]", removing two "[[Elemental Heroes]]" in his Graveyard from play and letting him destroy two Spell or [[Trap Cards]]. He chooses two of "Armoroid's" equipped monsters, and its attack reduces to 1500 as a result. "Voltic" attacks and destroys "Armorroid", with the former's effect placing all removed from play cards into the Graveyard - including "Transformation", so Syrus takes damage via its effect, and Jaden wins the duel.
  
Syrus manages to summon the very powerful "[[Card Appearances:Armoroid|Armoroid]]" next, which, while vulnerable once its Roid components are removed, is able to outclass Jaden's monster and damage Jaden even when his monsters are in defense mode. The development convinces Jaden that Syrus will win, and he initially seems content with just losing his deck so his friend can stay at the academy, but then remembers that he was entrusted with the deck. He then activates "[[Pot of Greed]]", summoning "[[Elemental Hero Voltic]]", which can return cards removed from the game into the graveyard, enabling it to break Syrus's transformation. Syrus, realizing that he has been defeated, says that he has never had such a fun duel, and will do what it takes to return. Jaden uses "[[Hero Solidarity]]" to destroy two of Syrus' spell cards and attacks Syrus's "[[Card Appearances:Armoroid|Armoroid]]" with "[[Elemental Hero Voltic]]", the attack breaking Syrus's transformation and defeating him. As his armor fades away, Syrus realizes that he could not change what he was, even with the armor.
+
Jaden protests to [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]] over Syrus being expelled over one zero, and Professor Hibiki arrives. She reveals that the transcripts Crowler took from her office were only provisional versions, and that there was a technicality. Syrus forgot to write his name down, so the computer automatically gave him a zero. He really scored a 91%. Hibiki had also submitted the finished transcripts to [[Chancellor Sheppard]] before leaving on her business trip, and intends to report Crowler to him. She also reveals that Jaden has to take a make-up midterm, with points automatically deducted, since he skipped the exam altogether.
  
Jaden protests Syrus having to be expelled over one zero. Midori arrives to state that Syrus actually did not get a zero, as the preliminary reports gave him one for not putting his name on the test, but the final reports show him getting the highest score in the class, thus preventing him from being expelled. Jaden celebrates Syrus' staying at the school with his friends until Midori gives him bad news - unlike Syrus, he did in fact, fail, and must retake the test.

Summary

Chazz Princeton watches the duel between Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale from a distance. Professor Hibiki returns from her business trip, and is curious as why there's no much commotion at the Duel Field after school hours. She approaches Chazz, and he reveals the situation and that Syrus is dueling to avoid explusion due to his grade of zero on the midterm. Syrus has activated "Transformation", and he thinks he's bottled up the kindness his brother chided in for in this armor, which resembles the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon". He reveals its effect, explaining why "Elemental Hero Stratos" was destroyed and the damage reduced to zero. He also reveals that he can negate as many attacks as he wants, but when "Transformation" is destroyed, he'll take damage equal to all the damage he negated with it.

Syrus encased in the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" armor granted to him by "Transformation".

Jaden Summons "Elemental Hero Woodsman" in Defense Position and activates "Oil", letting him return the FIRE-attribute "Elemental Hero Lady Heat" in his Graveyard to his hand.
