Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

A clear, cold female voice suddenly came from beside Misawa Daichi.

"You are... Asuka Tenjouin of Obelisk Blue, right?"

Misawa Daichi turned around, looked at the girl not far away beside him, and asked.

Unlike Yusei and the others, Misawa Daichi was not involved in the previous incident, so he wasn't very familiar with Asuka.

"Hmm..." Asuka nodded to Misawa, then asked him, "You also have some connection with Yusei and the others, right..."

"Well, I guess so." After greeting everyone, Misawa Daichi turned his attention back to the field.

"Because of my mistake... things have turned out this way... and Yusei and the others have been dragged into this..." Asuka frowned slightly as she looked at the empty dueling arena. "Originally, I should be the one standing in the dueling arena right now..."

"..."

Hearing Asuka's mutterings, Misawa Daichi, unaware of the background, could only remain silent.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the audience seats.

Having been rejected by Professor Kunonos, Manjoume is wearing an expression that looks like he's eaten shit, waiting for the duel to begin.

He didn't want to come, but his resentment towards Jaden Yuki made him sit in the audience.

Even if you can't personally defeat that despicable guy, watching his defeated expression from the audience is a good alternative.

While pondering these matters, Manjoume suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye Yusei entering the venue, and Yuki Judai standing next to him with a "dumb look on his face".

"Boom!!!"

Upon seeing Yuki Judai's face, Manjoume, filled with rage, kicked the chair in front of him with all his might.

"Manjou-sang?"

"It's okay..."

Seeing his behavior, Wan Zhangmu's two henchmen asked him with concern.

"……nothing!"

Once he calmed down, Manjou waved away the two people who were questioning him and crossed his legs impatiently.

He finally understood the feeling of having an enemy right in front of him, yet being unable to attack...

"Ah……"

Noticing Banjou's behavior, Yusei didn't say anything more.

It's just the barking of a stray dog; don't take it to heart.

"Wow! So many people have gathered here!" Looking around at the audience, Jaden Yuki couldn't help but exclaim in genuine amazement.

Jaden Yuki, looking on with anticipation, was completely unaware that after Professor Chronos, he was now being regarded as a thorn in the side by Manjoume.

"Yusei! I feel like I'm about to burst into flames!"

With a bright smile, Jaden Yuki walked towards the dueling arena, and Yusei followed behind him.

"Oh? It seems Hayato and the others have arrived too..."

Noticing Hayato and Sho Marufuji panting beside the audience, Yusei spoke up to Jaden Yuki, offering a reminder.

"Really...it seems they both made it in time too."

Upon hearing Yusei's words, Jaden Yuki also noticed the two people resting against the railing in front of the stands.

It seems they ran all the way from their dorm to make sure they didn't miss the entire duel.

"Great... I made it in time..."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Hayato looked at Sho Marufuji, who was sitting on the ground beside him, with a relieved expression.

"Ah... I can't take it anymore... I feel like I'm going to collapse..."

Marufuji Sho, who had run all the way here, relaxed when he saw that he had caught up with the duel and sat down on the ground with a thud.

Seeing the two of them looking completely exhausted, Yusei, standing in the dueling arena, scratched his cheek and began to ponder a question—so why didn't you two come with us?

It strolls over slowly, doesn't it smell good?

"Yusei... let me see how you hold your own against a powerful duelist."

At the highest point of the stands, Ryo Marufuji stood by the railing with his arms crossed, watching Yusei on the field with an interested expression.

After losing to Yusei in the previous duel, the image of Yusei was planted in the heart of the man named Marufuji Ryo, and he could not get rid of it no matter what.

183 The legendary duelist!

"Alright, let's begin the team duel!"

Seeing Yusei and Jaden Yuki step into the dueling arena, Professor Quinnos, who had been sitting on the sidelines imagining a bright future, rushed to their side and announced the start of the dueling match.

"Are their opponents this time their teacher, or Obelisk Blue's student?"

"It's not Professor Kunonos again, is it?"

Looking at Professor Kunonos, whose face was beaming with pride at the successful execution of his plan, Principal Samejima, sitting in the first row of the audience, couldn't help but tease him.

“I %￥＆*……￥＃@…” Professor Kunonos, who was originally full of confidence, was directly hit with a critical blow by Principal Samejima’s teasing.

"...Ahem, this isn't some selfish act on my part, you know?" Professor Kunonos, his raspy voice cracking with embarrassment, began to defend himself: "Headmaster! This is a special punitive duel held to punish them for violating school rules by entering a 'restricted' area! I don't like hearing you say that!"

"A duel like this requires a special opponent!"

"so what?"

Principal Samejima, intrigued by Professor Kunonos's words, nodded at him with an expectant expression.

"...So I summoned a legendary duelist with extensive experience in two-person duels!"

Professor Chronos raised his arm and spun around in place, then pointed at the bewildered Jaden Yuki and the speechless Yusei, "Are you two ready?!"

"Are you ready, Yusei?" Jaden Yuki asked Yusei beside him.

"Okay! Always ready." Nodding to Jaden Yuki, Yusei raised the red and white Duel Disk representing Osiris Red.

Because the duel was organized by the Duel Academy, he did not use the Radiant Duel Disk that Ria had given him before.

"Ah! Here we come!"

As Professor Kunonos exclaimed in surprise, two figures suddenly darted out from below the arena.

Two bald brothers, dressed in orange and green Chinese-style clothing respectively, were seen somersaulting in the wide arena, deliberately striking symmetrical poses. Their postures were clearly meant to show off!

"Who goes there! State your name at once!"

Recalling the period dramas he had watched before, Youxing subconsciously shouted at the two people darting around in front of him.

"Oh ho ho ho~~~ Since you've asked so sincerely..."

"Then I will tell you with great mercy!"

Upon hearing Yusei's shout, the two immediately stopped what they were doing and stood directly opposite Yusei and the others.

The two leaned against each other back to back, arms crossed, and began their opening remarks with confidence.

"for……"

"Stop, stop, stop! Get to the point!"

Seeing these identical bald twin brothers, whose only difference was the color of their clothes, uttering such nonsensical lines, Yusei quickly waved his hand to interrupt them.

"...Hehe, we are the guardians of the wanderers!" The bald uncle, wearing an orange kung fu outfit and with the character "迷" (mi, meaning lost/lost) written on his forehead, proudly revealed the origins of his brothers after being interrupted by Yusei.

“That’s right, we are—the Maze Brothers!” On the other side, a bald man with the character “Gong” written on his forehead, wearing the same style of green kung fu uniform, and with a smug look on his face, announced their identities.

“The Labyrinth Brothers… I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere before…” With a thoughtful expression on his face, Yusei began to recall memories of the two people in front of him.

Not a member of the main cast...

It's not the villainous boss either...

He seems to be a minor character who appeared in the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, with very little screen time...

Wow! It's really me!

Unlike Yusei's calm demeanor, when Yuki Jaden saw the bald brothers, his eyes began to sparkle, and his face was filled with an expression of adoration, just like a fan seeing a celebrity.

After all, they were legendary duelists who had once fought against the Duel King Yugi Muto, so the Labyrinth Brothers were quite popular among the students of Duel Academy...

"These two are your opponents today!"

Professor Chronos, with his hands behind his back, walked gracefully behind Yusei and Jaden Yuki and made this announcement to them.

"Hey!"

Despite having some suspicions, Jaden Yuki was still taken aback by Professor Quinnos's words.

Suddenly jumping from a student to a professional duelist, and at a legendary level at that, are you kidding me, Professor Kunonos, are you doing this on purpose?

"I've heard... their unbeatable teamwork has given even the Duel King a lot of trouble..."

Asuka, sitting in the audience, wore a worried expression.

This duel was, after all, caused by her family affairs, so Asuka was quite concerned about the fate of Yusei and the others.

Asuka felt guilty because she caused Yusei and the others to drop out of school.

"What?! Yusei and the others are facing these two... then they have no chance of winning this duel!"

Seeing the famous figures appear in the dueling arena, Misawa Daichi, sitting next to Asuka, couldn't help but speak up.

"Hmph hmph hmph... Good! Excellent! Osiris Red's underachievers, just like that, foolishly lose in front of everyone!"

Upon learning that Jaden Yuki's opponent was the legendary duelists—the Labyrinth Brothers—Manjoume's heart was filled with a perverse sense of joy.

He considered Yuki Jaden a thorn in his side, and when he saw Yuki Jaden about to suffer a setback, he almost grinned from ear to ear.

His face was beaming with joy, and he was inwardly cheering wildly for Yuki Jaden's opponent.

"why is it like this……"

"Big brother... Yusei..."
