Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

As long as it's within Principal Samejima's capabilities and doesn't violate the law, he can help Yusei achieve it as compensation for Yusei.

Depending on the context, the rewards for this promise will vary.

"Well... I'll just remember that for now..."

Yusei, who didn't have any immediate needs, kept this in mind and then turned to walk back to his dormitory.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be dueling with a professional duelist tomorrow.

Although Yusei was confident of victory, he chose to proceed with caution. After all, it's always better to be careful when you're not familiar with your opponent's tactics.

……

Time flew by, and the day for the team duel arrived.

The main campus of Duel Academy.

"Really!"

"Why would this dueling academy, which is supposed to be for elites, accept these underachievers?!"

As the instigator of this duel, Professor Kunonos, walking down the school corridor, was impatiently scanning the students in Osiris red uniforms around him.

You could sense a strong sense of disdain in his tone.

"Especially that Judai Yuki..."

Imagining Jaden Yuki's silly grinning face in his mind, a "well" symbol immediately appeared above Kunonos's head, making him even angrier.

"Damn it! That kind of guy should only be eliminated!"

"But time and again, they evaded my meticulously planned schemes..."

Professor Kunonos, growing angrier the more he thought about it, couldn't help but roar angrily at the ceiling.

Startled by his behavior, the crowd rushed into the classroom next door.

"But... finally! The moment has finally come!"

"Just you wait and see, you underachievers!"

Clenching his right fist, a smug smile flashed across Kunonos's lips.

If everything goes smoothly, I will never see Jaden Yuki's annoying face again.

"Oh ho ho...that's such a shame~~~~"

Although he said it was a pity, Professor Kunonos was secretly overjoyed.

"Professor Kunonos!"

Just as Professor Kunonos was lost in his own thoughts, he heard someone calling out to him from behind.

"Manjoume? What do you want?"

Professor Kunonos, who turned around upon hearing the sound, looked at Manjou Jun walking towards him with a puzzled expression.

"Please let me team up with those guys from Osiris Red for a duel!"

To Professor Kunonos, Manjoume directly conveyed his purpose.

"You?"

Recalling the scene when Manjoume was defeated by Jaden Yuki with Wingman, Professor Quinnos couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his "handsome" face.

climb!

I gave you so many rare cards, but you still lost to Jaden Yuki...

If I lose again, who the hell am I supposed to complain to?

"This time I will definitely defeat them with my own hands!"

Manjoume still finds it hard to let go of the fact that he lost to Jaden Yuki's Winged Kuriboh in the monthly exam's practical test.

After hearing about the team duel, Manjoume decided to go to Professor Kunonos to apply for a spot in the competition, intending to avenge his previous defeat and beat up Yuki Jaden, the brat who had given him psychological trauma.

As for Yusei... I can't beat him... I can't beat him...

Let's forget about this one, we'll talk about it later...

Defeating Jaden Yuki would be a victory!

"Please, you must let me..."

"That's not necessary!"

With a cold snort, Professor Kunonos waved his hand, interrupting Manjoume's next words.

"Hey?"

Manjou, whose speech had been interrupted, froze on the spot.

"I've already invited some powerful duelists suitable for team battles~~~" Professor Kunonos said calmly, waving his fingers, "Speaking of which, you should be worried about yourself, right? If you keep going like this, you might end up as Yellow the Sun God~~~"

After saying this, Professor Kunonos ignored Manjoume and turned to leave.

Having already failed once, there's no need for him to try again!

"Damn it! Yuki Judai! If it weren't for you..."

Watching Professor Kunonos's departing figure, Wan Zhangmu, feeling humiliated, subconsciously clenched his fists. His once handsome face was now contorted with anger and resentment.

He clenched his teeth and muttered Yuki Judai's name slowly and deliberately.

It seems he blamed all his misfortunes on Jaden Yuki...

……

Achoo!

In the Osiris Red dormitory, Jaden Yuki, who was organizing his deck, felt someone talking about him and instinctively sneezed loudly, spraying Sho Marufuji, who was sitting opposite him, with saliva all over his face.

"Big brother~~~"

Marufuji Sho, who had been sprayed in the face, gave Yuki Jaden a resentful look.

"Ah...sorry, sorry..."

Setting down his card deck, Jaden Yuki took a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Sho Marufuji.

"What's wrong... Is someone talking about you?"

Seeing Jaden Yuki suddenly sneeze, Yusei said jokingly.

Speaking of the people that Jaden Yuki has offended, there are quite a few... Just in the academy alone, there are a lot of people, mainly Obelisk Blue.

"I don't know either..." Judai Yuki pinched his nose, looking puzzled.

With his optimistic nature and naturally gloomy personality, he was completely unaware that he had offended quite a few people.

"The day has finally come..."

Lying on the bed, Hayato looked at the three people sitting together and couldn't help but sigh.

Yusei, Judai Yuki, and Sho Marufuji—whether they drop out or stay depends entirely on today's duel!

"Yeah! I'm really looking forward to it, aren't you, Yusei?"

Completely oblivious to any sense of crisis, Jaden Yuki flashed a bright smile at Yusei beside him.

From his expression, you could not sense any sense of crisis about facing expulsion.

Well, a little bit.

Yusei certainly had high expectations for his opponent in today's duel.

He couldn't suppress his desire to show off any longer.

Imagining famous duelists kneeling before him, Yusei couldn't help but smirk.

"Hey hey hey..."

"Huhuhu..."

Seeing Yuki Jaden and Yusei simultaneously let out meaningful laughter, Marufuji Sho, feeling frightened, involuntarily hugged himself tightly.

"Xiang and I will be cheering you on in the arena! You must win!"

Hayato, who sat up in bed, pumped his fist in encouragement at the two of them.

Ah! Thank you for your kind words!

Once ready, Yusei swung his right fist in Hayato's direction.

"OK~ Let's go!"

Jaden Yuki put the completed deck back into the card pack at his waist, picked up the Duel Disk, and called to Yusei as they walked out of the room together.

"I'm counting on you for today's duel!"

Facing the two who were about to depart, Marufuji Sho clenched his fist and spoke.

"Ah! Don't worry, we'll win the duel and get back to this dormitory." Yusei waved to Marufuji Sho and Hayato with his back to them, and then followed Yuki Jaden to the Duel Academy headquarters.

They were both contestants, so they needed to go there in advance to prepare.

As for spectators like Marufuji Sho and Hayato, they are free to choose when to go to the duel arena, or of course, they don't have to go...

……

The Duel Academy headquarters has a huge dueling arena.

Here you'll find a range of cutting-edge dueling equipment, allowing duelists to experience the ultimate dueling experience.

After hearing about the team battle that was going to be held today, students from various departments spontaneously gathered here. Among them were some old acquaintances of Yusei and his friends, such as Yotsawa Sora.

This dueling arena is actually quite familiar to Yusei.

Yusei and Manjoume had a duel here before, but of course, they did it secretly back then, unlike today where there was a large audience.

"It's finally starting."

"It's been a long time since I've seen Yosawa... Misawa Daichi," he said, gazing at the direction of the arena with his arms crossed.

"Team battles..."
