Title: Step One College, Step Two Take Over the World Prompt: College AU Rating: General Audiences Summary: “Step one: get into Neo Domino University,” Chazz lifted one finger and waved it in his spirit partners’ faces. “Step two: get a Ph.D. in dueling. Step three: get hired to teach at Duel Academy. Step four: take over the school.”

“Crowler is retiring!”

Chazz raised an eyebrow, that was surprising. it’d was ten years since they’d graduated and Crowler had been the de-facto headmaster of the school in everything but name since then.

“Whose replacing him?” Syrus took another bite of celery and Chazz cringed.

“Sy, I swear if you don’t mute your mic and close your mouth while you chew I’m going to fly back to San Francisco just to strangle you!”

“Geez, okay Chazz chill out.” Syrus screwed the lid on the peanut butter, thank god for small mercies.
