Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Yusei, finally getting a chance to speak, immediately raised his right hand.

"……All right."

"You two, just bring it on!"

After a moment's thought, Marufuji Ryo agreed to their duel request.

Since he was given the title "Caesar," very few people have dared to challenge him.

The two boys in front of her were a dark horse who had defeated Professor Kunonos in the entrance exam, and a boy that even Asuka was very interested in.

He had no reason to refuse the duel challenge from the two men.

"Just like we agreed, I'll go first, okay?"

Jaden Yuki waved his fist at Yusei, who looked helpless on the shore.

"alright."

I'm just waiting to see you get utterly crushed on the ground.

After silently complaining to himself, Yusei waved to Jaden Yuki in the water.

"Big brother..."

Marufuji Sho tugged at the hem of Yuki Jaden's uniform, revealing a worried expression.

"Just watch closely, Xiang!"

"Let's draw some attention to something through our duel."

After saying these encouraging words to Marufuji Sho, Yuki Judai looked at Marufuji Ryo, who was standing on the boulder.

The two stared at each other, their gazes clashing intensely in the air.

……

As the sun gradually set in the west, the sky slowly began to darken.

There was a perfect open space next to the warehouse by the lighthouse, ideal for a duel.

In the presence of Yusei and the others.

The duel between Jaden Yuki and Ryo Marufuji began here.

"duel!"

"duel!"

After shouting the slogan to announce the start of the duel, Jaden Yuki and Ryo Marufuji simultaneously drew five cards from their decks.

"What should I do... This duel was started because of my mistake..."

"Even the eldest brother can't beat the eldest brother..."

Recalling what had just happened, Marufuji Sho, having calmed down, instinctively clutched his head.

It's all my fault for being willful and throwing a tantrum, which caused everyone around me to search for me everywhere, and eventually even led to the duel in front of me.

Could it be that... I'm quite important?

Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused such a huge riot...

Thinking of this, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but show a smug expression on his face.

"You're overthinking it... Jaden Yuki has wanted to duel with your brother for a long time."

"What just happened was merely a trigger."

Seeing Marufuji Sho's expression, Yusei couldn't help but frown.

Ha... Your older brother was worried about you, so he led the way to look for you everywhere. But you, on the contrary, started to feel smug. I'm afraid you're planning to use the same trick again to make your presence known.

"To be able to duel with the man known as Caesar in the academy is truly exhilarating!"

"I feel like I'm on fire right now!"

The goofy Jaden Yuki was completely oblivious to Marufuji Sho's change in attitude; his attention was now focused on Marufuji Ryo.

Facing this opponent who put pressure on him, Jaden Yuki's heart began to race with excitement.

The last time I had this feeling was during my first battle with Yusei at Kaiba Park.

Well then! Let me see for myself!

Just how powerful is the top student in the academy?

"I'll go first! Draw a card!"

Excited, Yuki Judai decisively seized the initiative from the silent Marufuji Ryo.

Seeing his silly behavior, Yusei couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead...

Letting the Cyber ​​Dragon attack last in Elemental Heroes is practically suicide...

"I summon [Elemental Hero - Winged Warrior] in attack stance (Attack Power 1000)!"

Unaware of the foolishness of his actions, Jaden Yuki then made an even more baffling move.

He summoned the Winged Warrior, a blank unit with an attack power of only 1000, onto the field with a direct attack indicator...

"I've laid a trap! End of turn!"

Since the first turn cannot be attacked, Jaden Yuki ended his turn just like that.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Yusei, stunned by Jaden Yuki's bizarre actions, couldn't help but click his tongue.

Facing the strongest man in the academy, you actually used the same tactics you used against Marufuji Sho...

Tenth generation...

There was a reason you got beaten to death...

"My turn, draw a card!"

Seeing Yuki Judai's wise maneuvering, Marufuji Ryo remained expressionless.

He simply drew a card from his deck without much fanfare.

Looking at the monster he had just drawn, a confident light flashed in Ryo Marufuji's eyes. He then placed the card on the Duel Disk.

"I Special Summon [Cyber ​​Dragon] in Attack Position (Machine/Light/Level 5/ATK 2100/DEF 1600)!"

"Roar!!!"

Marufuji Ryo waved his arm at the open space in front of him, and then a huge mechanical dragon with a streamlined body made of silver-white steel roared and appeared behind him.

"Huh? What's going on? I can summon a 5-star monster without offering sacrifices..."

Upon seeing the steel dragon that suddenly appeared on the field, Jaden Yuki instinctively took a half-step back.

Under the oppressive aura of that enormous body, the Winged Warrior, whose attack power was only 1000, couldn't help but show a trembling expression and subconsciously protected his front with his wings.

"This is a special effect of the electronic dragon."

Facing the surprised Jaden Yuki, Ryo Marufuji slowly said, "When you have a monster on your field and I don't have a monster on mine, this card can be Special Summoned directly from my hand!"

"Furthermore, this effect is not limited to once per round."

"What?! That's amazing!"

Upon hearing the effect of the electronic dragon, Jaden Yuki's face showed a rather shocked expression.

What a blunder... I never imagined Caesar would possess such a powerful monster!

Attack power of 2100! That's about on par with my ace weapon—[Elemental Hero: Flame Wingman]...

"Next, I will activate the quick-play spell [Whirlwind] from my hand!"

"Based on this card's effect, I can choose one Spell/Trap Card on the field and destroy it!"

"What I want to destroy is naturally the card on your field."

After saying this, Ryo Marufuji decisively inserted [Whirlwind] into the back row of the Duel Disk.

As the card projection of [Whirlwind] appeared on the field, a blue-black whirlwind rushed from Ryo Marufuji's field towards Jaden Yuki, shredding his face-down card to shreds.

"Ah! I've been tricked..."

Jaden Yuki, whose card had been destroyed by the whirlwind, couldn't help but exclaim in dismay.

"It's not over yet! I haven't performed a single Normal Summon this turn!"

Without giving Jaden Yuki a chance to catch his breath, Ryo Marufuji summoned a new monster.

"I summon the [Cyber ​​Phoenix] in attack mode (Machine/Fire/4-star/Attack 1200/Defense 1600)!"

Like the electronic dragon, this bird-like beast, cast entirely from silver-white steel and possessing two pairs of metallic wings, floats in mid-air, wreathed in flames.

(Ryo Marufuji's hand size: 6 → 3)

"Fight!"

"Cyber ​​Dragon Attacks Winged Warrior! Evolutionary Flame!"

Ryo Marufuji stretched out his palm towards Jaden Yuki. Upon hearing the command, the electronic dragon opened its large mechanical mouth and spewed flames that shone with white light at Winged Warrior.

The winged warrior, enveloped by the white flames, had all his feathers ignite in an instant and quickly vanish into nothingness.

"Hmm... Winged Warrior..."

Jaden Yuki, whose monster was destroyed, immediately found himself in an empty field.
