Changes

Despite her disinterest in the contest, Alexis was a nominee for [[Miss Duel Academy]] and became one of the five finalists. She did not join the other finalists on stage, until it was announced that she tied first with [[Seika Kohinata]] on 198 votes. At that point, she was dragged on stage and tripped by Seika as she was brought to the host. The host asked how she felt, but as she tried to voice her disinterest, she was interrupted as someone pointed out there was one student who had not voted, Jaden Yuki. Seika realized that he was a friend of Alexis and accused them of fixing the contest, but Alexis claimed that the contest meant noting to her. As Jaden was pressured to make the deciding decision, Alexis began to walk away, saying she would leave it up to them. However when it was proposed that Jaden Duel Seika to determine who got the deciding vote, Alexis refused to allow someone to act on her behalf. Seika did not think she could win against Alexis or Jaden, so she suggested that Alexis and Jaden Duel. Alexis accepted, under the condition that if she won, she could have her entry canceled and if Jaden won, he would vote for Seika, either outcome resulting in Seika's victory. Although Alexis lost, she was considered to have put up a good battle and Seika deemed Alexis to be more deserving of the title. Alexis said the she wanted to be recognized as a Duelist, not just a girl. Jaden pointed out that the audience, who were cheering for her, recognized her as a Duelist and like anything at the academy, the decision should sway in favor of the stronger Duelist.

Alexis participates in the tournament hosted at Duel Academy. She fights [[Reggie MacKenzie]] in the preliminaries and loses. She later Duels [[David Rabb]] in the finals; while she is frustrated by the loss, she sees it as an opportunity to motivate herself to become a better Duelist.
