Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

It sounds better when people say it.

Hey! Don't say we didn't give you a chance!

If you win, then the matter of trespassing on the old school building will be dropped.

But if you lose...

Hehehe...

That's so embarrassing!

Pack your bags and get out of here!

……

Meanwhile, in Principal Samejima's office.

Having been ignored by the council members and narrowly escaped disaster, Maeda Hayato now ventured out of his dormitory and arrived at the Duel Academy headquarters.

"I...I was in that dorm too..."

Faced with the serious expression of Principal Samejima, Hayato, who had made skipping class a regular occurrence, couldn't help but start to feel nervous.

However, after recalling how Yusei and the others were taken away before his eyes and were about to engage in a team battle, he still mustered up his courage and said his thoughts: "So! Please let me team up with Jaden!"

"I was there at the time..."

Just as Principal Samejima was about to say something, a clear and melodious female voice suddenly came from outside the office.

As the automatic door opened, Asuka Tenjouin, dressed in her Obelisk blue school uniform, walked into the principal's office with a determined expression.

She walked slowly to Principal Samejima's desk, stood next to Hayato, and said the second half of her sentence.

"...So, if you're going to punish someone, please punish me too!"

"Oh?"

"I...I also think I'm not good enough, and I keep thinking about running away."

"But after seeing Yusei and Jaden Yuki's dueling prowess... even I was inspired by them and couldn't help but want to throw myself into a duel again!"

Before the astonished principal, Hayato began to speak eloquently about his true thoughts.

"Everyone seems to have become very strange when it comes to things that concern them."

Asuka somewhat agreed with Hayato's heartfelt words.

After witnessing Yusei's duel with Manjoume, her own duelist spirit was also ignited.

After dueling with Yusei and experiencing a clash of emotions, she developed a strong interest in this interesting young man.

Therefore, Asuka would certainly not accept the fact that Yusei would face expulsion from school.

She also looks forward to more amazing performances from Yusei in the future!

"Hmm... I understand your feelings."

Principal Samejima turned to look at the two people in front of him, then crossed his arms and rested them on the table, adopting a helpless expression. "However, the punishment for the three of them will be decided by the Academic Affairs Office."

"I was originally going to drop out of school."

"But it seems that Professor Kunonos's proposal has been accepted by them."

Principal Samejima's meaning was also very clear: the current situation was not without hope.

Compared to the initial one-man rule, the current situation is much better.

At least Yusei and his friends can shut up the people in the administration department by winning the duel, instead of having to passively accept punishment.

"..."

Asuka and Hayato exchanged a glance, and in the end, they could only leave the principal's office with no other choice.

……

Hayato returns to the Osiris Red Dormitory from the principal's office at the main campus of the academy.

The moment he opened the door to the room, he saw Marufuji Sho rushing towards him.

"It's over, it's over..."

"The three of us are going to be expelled! Hayato~~~~"

"You might be the only one left in the dorm after this..."

Marufuji Sho clung to Hayato's chubby body, unwilling to let go. As if he had thought of the tragic consequences to come, tears streamed down his face.

"Sigh... once the Academic Affairs Office makes a decision, it can't be easily changed..."

Hayato, who had just returned from the principal's office, could only helplessly comfort Marufuji Sho.

"Xiang...you have so little faith in us?"

Leaning against the bed, Yusei looked at Marufuji Sho, who had been looking worried ever since he came back, and couldn't help but complain.

“I know your skill level, Yusei, but Professor Kunonos must have his reasons for bringing this up…”

"He might call in a professional duelist to duel you..."

"No matter what, a student couldn't possibly defeat a professional duelist..."

Marufuji Sho's little brain, which is usually useless, is working very fast at this moment.

He had a vague idea of ​​Professor Kunonos's plan.

Is it a coincidence, or just pure luck?

"Don't worry, as long as we win, that's all that matters, right?"

Jaden Yuki was checking his deck at the table, and there was not a trace of panic on his face.

"Big brother, you make it sound so easy... but..."

Have you ever had a team duel?

Marufuji Sho asked the two calm-looking people.

"Ha... A lone duelist needs no companions!"

Yu Xing decisively gave his answer.

“No! But that’s precisely why it’s interesting!” Jaden Yuki gave Sho Marufuji a bright smile.

"You two... really are..."

Upon hearing the two men's confident and self-assured statements, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but look dumbfounded.

135 The best way to resolve an argument is to duel!

"Xiang, if you really are my little brother, then don't say such discouraging things, just cheer us on."

After tidying up his deck, Jaden Yuki stood up and approached Sho Marufuji.

"Speaking of which... I know absolutely nothing about the characteristics of your deck."

"How about... we have a duel to test our skills?"

Faced with a stunned Sho Marufuji, Jaden Yuki suddenly challenged him to a duel.

"Huh? My older brother and I are having a duel..."

Upon hearing Jaden Yuki's challenge to a duel, Sho Marufuji instinctively wanted to refuse.

In the previous monthly exam, Marufuji Sho should have had the opportunity to showcase his deck.

However, he was unlucky enough to encounter the terrifying demon god, Yusei!

Before he could even make any move in the duel arena, he was instantly OTK (One-Turn Kill) by Yusei's "Genmei-ryu".

Yusei's merciless act of killing dealt a heavy blow to Marufuji Sho's young mind.

This caused him to develop a fear of dueling for a long time after the monthly exam...

"How about I do it instead?"

Seeing that Marufuji Sho didn't seem too keen on dueling with Yuki Jaden, Yusei, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but chime in.

"!"

Upon hearing Yusei speak, Marufuji Sho's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and his attitude underwent a complete 180-degree change.

"haha……"

"I suddenly feel... a duel with my older brother might not be so bad~~~"

The tragic experience that Yusei had given him was something that Marufuji Sho still couldn't forget.

If he could, he would never want to duel with Yusei again in his life...

Rather than experiencing the feeling of being instantly killed again.

Fighting his older brother was obviously much easier.

"Really? Don't push yourself too hard, Xiang."

Seeing the huge change in Marufuji Sho's attitude, Yuki Judai scratched his head and showed him a concerned expression.

"Haha... Brother, what are you saying... Let's hurry up and go outside for a duel!"

And so, witnessed by Hayato and Yusei.

Jaden Yuki and Sho Marufuji left their room and arrived at the foot of a cliff near the Osiris Red Dormitory.

There was a perfect open space near the coast for a duel.

On the cliff edge stood Hayato and Yusei side by side.

Below them, facing each other with their duel disks in hand, were Jaden Yuki, beaming with a bright smile, and Sho Marufuji, looking utterly worried.

Yusei crossed his arms and watched the expressions on the two faces.

In his view, the two men's states at this moment formed a stark contrast.

Before the duel even began, Marufuji Sho had already lost to Yuki Jaden in terms of momentum.
