Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Upon hearing the accusations against him, Yuki Judai looked completely innocent.

What the heck? What on earth happened?

"Hmph! There's no point in saying more!"

"Now I'm going to take you all to the Academic Affairs Office."

The woman standing at the door had no intention of listening to Yuki Jaden's explanation. In an official tone and expressionless, she told everyone her next plan.

After saying this, the woman waved her hand behind her.

The sound of synchronized footsteps echoed down the corridor, and fully armed security personnel appeared behind the woman.

"Take them all away!"

The woman waved her hand at the people in the room, and the security personnel who heard the instruction immediately took Yusei, Yuki Judai, and Marufuji Sho out of the room.

As for Hayato...

This guy's situation was a bit special, so he was completely ignored.

"Big brother... Yusei..."

"What exactly happened...?"

Marufuji Sho, who was taken to the back of the truck, was nearly scared to death when he saw the serious-looking security personnel around him.

"I'm not sure... let's observe for a while and then say..."

Yusei reassured the nervous Marufuji Sho, then stroked his chin and began to think.

In his heart, he already had a bold guess.

Judging from the behavior of the woman leading the group, this was clearly a premeditated operation.

It's obvious that they were tricked by someone.

The people in front of you are a special force directly under the Duel Academy Council, specifically responsible for dealing with those who violate the rules on the island.

Speaking of recent violations of school rules, the only one is trespassing on the old school building.

Their expedition last night appears to have been discovered by someone and reported to the college council.

……

Duel Academy, Academic Affairs Office.

On the wall of this room hangs a row of huge screens that connect to the various offices of the college.

The various meetings, large and small, held by different departments are usually conducted here.

The screen now displays the faces of the stern woman from before, the helpless Principal Samejima, Professor Kunonos who is trying to suppress a laugh, and other relevant teachers.

At this moment, they are discussing the outcome of their decision regarding the three individuals.

"It was him again, just as I suspected..."

Seeing the expression on Kunonos's face—wanting to laugh but forcibly suppressing it—Yusei finally confirmed his thoughts.

"You mean... Professor Kunonos reported us?"

After hearing Yusei's words and seeing Professor Kunonos's irritating face, Jaden Yuki finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.

"Just in the early hours of this morning..."

"...A group of people, led by Yuki Judai, broke into the special student dormitory, which was off-limits to visitors."

"And it caused trouble inside."

"therefore……"

A serious female voice echoed in the room. She glanced at the three people standing side by side, including Yusei, and then informed them of the results of the discussion.

"...The three students will be expelled from school!"

As if a thunderbolt had struck their ears, the three students reacted in different ways upon hearing the news of their expulsion from school.

Yusei remained completely calm, quietly contemplating a solution; Jaden Yuki appeared nonchalant, seemingly still unaware of the situation; and Sho Marufuji trembled, as if he might collapse at any moment…

"I think there's still a chance to salvage it..."

Faced with the hopeless situation before him, Yusei couldn't help but utter that old cliché.

"Huh? Dropping out of school?"

"Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of this..."

Jaden Yuki scratched his head and couldn't help but start to argue back.

Going to the old school building and then being expelled upon return is just too inhumane.

"...Prepare for an investigation!"

The serious-looking woman did not answer Jaden Yuki's question; her face remained expressionless.

"I'll listen to whatever you say, please give me a chance."

Yuki Judai clasped his hands together in front of his chest, adopting a pleading posture towards the big shots on the screen.

His actions played right into Professor Kunonos's hands.

"Oh ho ho... Since you've put it that way, then I'll offer another solution!"

Professor Kunonos on the screen narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "That is... the punishment for team duels!"

"Sanctions team duel... what's that?"

Feeling somewhat puzzled, Jaden Yuki repeated Professor Kunonos's words.

"Team duel... that's a 2v2 duel, right?"

"Unlike regular 1v1 duels, team duels involve multiple duelists."

Faced with the puzzled Jaden Yuki, Yusei shared his understanding.

"You're right!"

“From the three of you, we will select two to participate in the team duel.”

"If you win, this matter will be wiped clean."

Professor Kunonos's face revealed a triumphant expression; everything that was happening now was going according to his plan.

"I see... Team duels? That sounds interesting!"

Upon hearing Professor Kunonos's words, Jaden Yuki clenched his fists.

The fact that it involved a duel immediately energized him, and even his drowsiness seemed to lessen considerably.

"Oh...no..."

"Big brother...I'm scared..."

Marufuji Sho grabbed Yuki Jaden's yuzu, his face full of reluctance.

"...Just stay back and watch."

Yusei patted Marufuji Sho on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous at all.

Because in the subsequent team battles, he wouldn't even get a chance to participate.

Yusei, and Yujo Judai.

Both using hero decks, the two strongest duelists in Osiris Red Dormitory will be on the same side for the first time in this upcoming team duel.

134 was completely unfazed, and even felt a little amused.

"Huh? Oh...oh..."

Upon hearing Yusei's words, Marufuji Sho did not show any relief on his face.

He shrugged, looking somewhat dejected.

Marufuji Sho is such a contradictory person.

When faced with challenges, he becomes timid and hesitant.

But if you actually give up, you'll feel a bit of regret.

"Well... there will always be another chance in the future."

Seeing the disappointed look on Marufuji Sho's face, Yuki Judai, the older brother, couldn't help but comfort him.

His thoughts were similar to Yusei's.

This duel is of a special nature, and there is no room for the possibility of defeat.

For a fighter like Marufuji Sho, whose dueling skills are somewhat lacking, it's best to just watch from the sidelines.

"Ugh... If only I could use that card..."

Seemingly recalling a card from his deck, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but clench his fist.

Just as he was about to say something, Professor Kunonos's smug voice suddenly came from the screen, "Principal, he has also agreed."

"Is that so? Then there's nothing we can do..."

Even the principal must respect the board's decisions.

Moreover, in this incident, Yusei and his group were indeed at fault first.

Principal Samejima couldn't say anything more about this.

"Hehehe...that's it..."

"If you lose, you'll have to drop out of school immediately!"

"As for your opponents in the team duel... I will announce that later!"

Professor Kunonos's voice echoed in the room, and everyone, including the serious woman, nodded in agreement after hearing his words.

Given the current situation, this is indeed a better option.
