(This chapter was inspired by "A Frog Out Of Water - Yu-Gi-Oh GX Self Insert" Chapter: Don't drink and Duel!)
Starting his first official day of school, Yuri received 10,000 DP (duel points), which is worth 10,000 yen, for the first week. First class of the day was Basic Duel Training, which he had with the rest of the main cast it seemed. He was then informed that all Obelisk Blue were given the same amount every week. While the Ra Yellows got 5,000 DP and the Slifer Reds got 2,000 DP.
In the morning announcement, they were also informed that DP was officially released worldwide. After KaibaCorp tested it for a couple of years in the four Duel Academy's. Duel Monsters cards cost DP, boosters cost DP, food cost DP and If you didn't have enough DP, most banks even exchange DP for money! It started an entire economy based around it!
DP practically became currency of its own at the beginning of year, with it being treated as legal tender in any KaibaCorp owned or affiliated business. Which was about 45% of all large businesses in Japan.
Every dual in Duel Academy was recorded by KaibaCorp Satellite Network, and students wagered no less than 10% of their total DP in each duel. This encouraged aspiring young duelists to play in as many matches as possible.
KaibaCorp is the worlds biggest seller of DP, along with their other technology and entertainment based business ventures has made KaibaCorp the Disney of this world.
"No wonder shit gets weird in 5Ds!"
Seto Kaiba has more money than God and creating/running a satellite system that handles enough data to completely overwhelm every super-computer in the world combined? Running that for a year costs less than he personally makes in a month.
That ludicrous amount of money is why no one in the world questioned his motives, when he opened up 4 boarding schools across the world. Where every student is an official KaibaCorp sponsored student, with just the cost of the private boarding school tuition. He simply has so much money that the costs don't even register to him, and televised duels are sponsored to the extreme, so even then he's still making money.
Kaiba created his own cryptocurrency around his favorite card game, and the best part was that it actually worked! The value of DP in relation to the mighty dollar was better than 90% of all currency types in the southern hemisphere. It was not an exaggeration to say that Kaiba Corp was as powerful as literal countries.
Crowler was just as obnoxious as he was in the first season, although to his credit, he took his job very seriously when he wasn't bashing the Slifer and was eager answers to whatever questions his students had, even if they were Slifer's.
Some the poor Slifer kids that asked him about some of the units on the syllabus were shaking in their boots. Fully expecting them to be berated, but Crowler was almost overjoyed to see a studious Slifer for once. In his own words, he was going to turn that slacker into a proper duelist.
Yuri discovered that Crowler wasn't really the antagonist of the first season. His only problem was with slackers, more than it was with the Slifer's as a whole. Well, slackers and Jaden, I suppose, but Jaden fits the description of a slacker to a T.
P.E was the most interesting time that Yuri had, and that was because of their hot teacher miss Fonda Fontaine. Next was Algebra, after that was Card Design, taught by the head of the Ra Yellow dorm, Professor Sartyr.
After Card Design was Alchemy/Chemistry, and after that it was lunch, which Yuri spent with Jaden and Syrus.
Receiving an alert from his PDA, Yuri discovered that Kaiba had sent him 50 million DP. He emailed Kaiba back, that he was looking for a place to live. Five minutes later Kaiba retook the DP back and sent him 5 million DP, With the deed of a Four-Star hotel in the high class Damino City area, that he bought when he was drunk.
As Yuri looked around for the burrito that he bought, he only found the Coca-cola that he bought. Where did that burrito to go? Turning around, you found the culprit with half the burrito down his throat.
"Ah, sorry buddy, but all those classes made me hungry, and that salsa looked so good on the burrito, you know?"
Jaden apologized, admitting to a crime that Yuri saw was committed
"Cough up the DP, or things are gonna get ugly. Ese!"
Yuri threaten him, because you don't come in between a Mexican and his burrito.
After Jaden had paid him back, the last classes of the day were English and History. As this was Yuri's second time in school, All the classes were pretty much easy for him. Especially with his new athletic body.
Later at night, Yuri was celebrating from getting the deed the Four-Star hotel and becoming partially rich. That he bought two bottles of honey whiskey for 30 MP And got shit faced drunk.
Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping!..... Piiiiiiiiiiiing!

Bzzt! Bzzt!
"Whaaaaaa…!"
Yuri drunkenly Shouted as you slurred towards his pillow and switched his attention to the system screen.

As Yuri was walking out of the main Academy building he spotted Jaden with Syrus, who was pacing back and forth with an excited look on his face, Near the girls' storm.
"Che, check it out Syst-System… Hehe… good one. Nice one Yuri. Check it out! My mannnnnnnn, my hoooommmiiieee, Jaden, ish going out with dat roid kid to pick up chicsh!"
"FUCK YEAH!"
Yuri shouted as he teetered to a stand trying to keep himself steady.
"Fuckin' man right...? Fuckin' knows what he wantssss... I'll, I'll I'm a... gotta support my homieeee."
"Wh-what ya doiiiinnn', Oompa Loompa? if you keep paciiiiiin' around with that look...look on your fesssshhh, someone's... hik... gonna call Charlie and get you sennnnnnt... backsssshhhh to the... Chocolate Factory."
Yuri teased him, While slurring halfway in each word.
"Yuri! Guess what?"
"Ehm! You found the golden ticket!!!"
Yuri grabbed Sirius like a madman.
"No! I got a love letter in my locker!"
'Hold up, a love letter? Isn't that the fake letter Crowler made, to get Jaden in trouble? I can't change the story line, but I can help them out as a supporting side character.'
"Yooooooooo... Pair o' ladykillerz like yous, gotta be picking up chix... right?"
Syrus eventually realized that Yuri spoke with a thick slur, casually dragging out his words like he was without a care in the world. Syrus flinched. He was still quite embarrassed, after all, with how easily Jaden found out about the love letter from one of the most beautiful girls in the school, Alexis, that had made its way into his locker.
"I don't know much about that!"
Jaden scratched his head with a carefree smile.
"I'm just helping out my bud Syrus here! Someone in Obelisk Blue wants to talk to him, and I figured it would be super sweet to check out their pad!"
Yuri took another step forwards, teetering and almost falling flat on his face before pointing at him with his free hand, still had his duel disk strapped to it.
"Fukin' knew it, Casanova over here's gonna get some ladiesh tonight!"
Yuri sung out, before striking a drunken pose of victory.
"My mannn~, I'm rootin' for you! Come'on, I gots you! I'll, I'll…"
Yuri stumbled forwards, close enough to Syrus that the shorter boy could smell the reek of alcohol.
"I'll be yoursh wingman~."
Yuri took a moment as Syrus tried to process his words, and then turned to Jaden to continue his drunken rambles.
"Haha jusssttttt~ like your cool monshter!"
Jaden gave off an easy smile, nodding and laughing at Yuri's terrible joke, before offering the boy his shoulder to steady himself on.
"Alright! Syrus, Yuri, next stop, Obelisk Blue!"
Jaden cheered, not even noticing Yuri draining the rest of the contents of a strong-smelling bottle.
