After receiving a Winged Kuriboh card from Yugi who he runs into, Jaden barely makes it for his test at the dueling academy. Despite rejection from Dr. Vellian Crowler, he must duel Jaden to see if he can make it into the academy. The duel starts with Jaden going first. He plays Elemental Hero Avian (1000/1000) in defense mode, plays one card face down, and ends his turn. Crowler starts off by playing the magic card confiscation. By its effect, he can pay 1000 life points (LP 3000) to look at Jaden's hand and discard 1 card. He chooses Monster Reborn. He then sets 2 cards, and plays heavy storm. This destroys all magic and trap cards on the field. He destroys Jaden's face-down Draining Shield and his two set Statue of the wicked. When they are destroyed, they summon two wicked tokens (1000/1000), which Crowler tributes in order to play his Ancient Gear Golem (3000/3000). It destroys Avian, and thanks to Gear Golem's special ability, the difference is directly subtracted out of Jaden's life points (LP 2000). Jaden then draws Winged Kuriboh (300/200) and plays it in defense mode along with a face-down card. Crowler destroys it with his gear Golem, but Kuriboh's effect negates all the damage. Jaden then activated his trap card Hero Signal which allows him to summon Burstinatrix from his deck. He then plays the warrior returning alive to return Avian to his hand, and fuses them to form The Flame Wingman (2100/1200). He then plays skyscraper, which increases the attack points of all of his hero monsters when they attack a monster with a higher attack strength. Flame Wingman's attack goes up to 3100 and proceeds to destroy the Gear Golem (Crowler's LP 2900). Then thanks to Wingman's special ability, when it destroys a monster, the attack of that monster is subtracted directly ou tof the opponents life points (Crowler's LP 0) and he thus wins the duel getting into the academy.
