Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Darkne...Darkness?"

Recalling the last words of the android Soga, Yusei couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression on his face.

DARKNESS, the final boss of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, is a demon with the appearance of a black goat. He claims to have awakened due to the gathering of darkness flowing into the underworld and represents the existence of the world's laws.

Its true identity is the future of humanity's destruction, the source of all the anomalies in the anime, and the greatest and final opponent of the protagonist of the original work, Jaden Yuki, during his three years at Duel Academy.

This big boss, who was supposed to appear at the very end, was brought up by the android Zorga at this point...

"Well... the enemy is in the dark, I'm in the light, so I'll just have to go with the flow..."

After thinking it over, Yusei, with a relieved expression, chose to put the matter aside for the time being.

Although the final words of the android Soga were somewhat puzzling, in the current situation, it has truly been defeated by Yusei.

Even if it reappears in this world later, it will be a completely different elf.

As for the "master" it mentioned... at least in the short term, he won't have any further contact with Yusei and the others.

Since that's the case, there's no need to worry about it too much.

We can't sweep up all the fallen leaves today, so let's deal with the rest later!

In short, we should always find a way to deal with whatever comes our way.

"Phew~~~ It's already morning... That terrifying spirit has been defeated by Yusei..."

"Xiang!!! I was so scared!!!"

With a look of relief on his face, Hayato, whose emotions were running high, couldn't help but hug Sho Marufuji, who was standing beside him.

"Holy crap... Ahmy! (No!!!)"

"Brother, save me!"

Sho Marufuji, who was tightly embraced by Hayato's obese body, cried out for help to Jaden Yuki, but Jaden Yuki, who had already reached Yusei's side, did not hear him at all...

Marufuji Sho: "..."

And so, with a complicated expression on his face, Sho Marufuji temporarily became Hayato's human-shaped body pillow...

My condolences...

……

"It seems like they're all alright..."

With Pharaoh in his arms, Master Daitokuji walked over to Yusei and his companion after everything had calmed down and began to observe the condition of the students who had gone missing earlier.

Seeing that these people were in a deep sleep, it seemed that they hadn't suffered any major harm (Takaji: ???), and Daitokuji-sensei couldn't help but show a relieved expression.

"Speaking of which, Duel Spirits actually exist? I thought it was just a dream..."

Despite having seen the Winged Kuriboh Pokémon multiple times, Jaden Yuki only now begins to believe in the existence of Duel Pokémon.

Unlike his Winged Kuriboh and Yusei's Spherical Kuriboh, the android Soga, who possesses independent thinking abilities, has been filled with malice towards humanity since its very first appearance.

And its ideas, to some extent, can also represent a portion of the Duel Spirits.

At least in this incident, Yusei and the others deeply realized that not all Duel Pokémon are as benevolent towards humans as Kuriboh.

There are also beings like the android Soga, who regard humans as inferior beings and don't even consider them worthy of attention.

"Well... I don't quite understand it! But Yusei's duel was really interesting!"

"The meteor that cleared the field instantly... and then the two Hero Fusion Monsters that appeared afterward..."

"Ahhhhhh... Just thinking about this... I'm getting excited!"

Having witnessed the entire duel, Jaden Yuki, whose entire body seemed to be engulfed in flames, couldn't wait to challenge Yusei once again: "Yusei! Right here, let's fight three hundred rounds!"

244 If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight (4K)

"?"

Hearing the shocking words that Jaden Yuki blurted out, Yusei, his face full of doubt, slowly typed out a question mark.

"...Although your words are somewhat ambiguous, I accept your challenge!"

After hesitating for a moment, Yusei, who had just won a duel, decided to accept the duel challenge from Jaden Yuki.

Hehehehehe... With your lousy deck, you'll just be feeding every time you come here!

If you were to play cards with me now, you wouldn't be able to save yourself even if you drew the perfect hand, you know that?

A sinister laugh, like that of the android Soga, escaped his mind, but on the surface, Yusei wore a warm smile before raising the Duel Disk in his hand.

Under the rising sun in the east, white light danced across the black Duel Disk in Yusei's left hand.

It is like a sharp, man-eating blade, waiting for the next victim to arrive.

"Ahem! Yusei-kun, and Judai-kun too~~~"

"I think you haven't forgotten that the most important thing right now is to get Gaosi and the others settled in properly."

Just as Yusei was getting ready to take this opportunity to beat up Jaden Yuki, Daitokuji-sensei suddenly revealed a "nuclear-kind" smile and said something that made everyone present feel enlightened.

"Uh……"

Reminded by Master Daitokuji, Yusei remembered the purpose of his visit.

Come to think of it... the reason they came here seems to be to rescue Takadera and the others...

And in the current situation, this goal has already been achieved.

How could I have suddenly forgotten something so "important"?

Hmm... It must be because those passersby were too inconspicuous, it's definitely not because I was so engrossed in playing cards that I forgot about it!

Hmm...that's right, that must be it!

The fault wasn't mine, it was theirs!

And so, Yusei, having forced himself a moment of self-comfort, helped Daitokuji-sensei carry the fallen people to the infirmary.

After this incident, they'll probably be more restrained and won't do anything reckless again...

……

Time passes.

After unexpectedly defeating the android Soga and saving Takadera and his group, Yusei and his friends spent their vacation happily playing cards.

As the new semester approaches, students who left the island, as well as vendors who cater to students, are gradually returning to the island to prepare for the new year.

"Two weeks...why is winter break only two weeks long?"

Yusei, walking with Jaden Yuki and Sho Marufuji on their way to Duel Academy, couldn't help but grumble at the sky.

Before he was transported to this world, he was an ordinary high school student.

With only a short two-week winter break, he couldn't help but recall the fear of being dominated by "forced tutoring."

Unlike most diligent students, Yusei, who has a free and unrestrained personality, did not have any big goals before. He has always felt a deep hatred for the school's practice of forcibly occupying students' spare time!

Forced relationships are never sweet. Forcing me to stay at school for extra lessons is just a waste of both our time! It won't improve my grades; instead, it will only make me more averse to learning…

It would be better to give each other some dignity, allowing both of us time to adjust and prepare for a better tomorrow.

"Even if you say so..."

"...But this is how it's arranged all over the country, isn't it?"

Hearing Yusei's complaints, Jaden Yuki scratched his head in confusion.

Japanese students have three holidays throughout the year: a nearly two-month spring break and summer break, and a winter break of about two weeks.

Jaden Yuki, who was used to this kind of holiday arrangement, couldn't understand why Yusei would say such a thing.

"...I just said it offhand."

Feeling the gazes around him, Yusei, who had just finished shouting and venting his emotions, instinctively shrank back.

Thinking about it carefully, I realized that I had indeed been a bit rash.

People in different regions have different habits. For example, in other people's eyes, Yusei, who was just complaining about the short holiday and shouting at the sky to vent his frustration, might be seen as an oddball.

"Hehehe... Today's lesson was tennis, and I heard it was with the girls..."

"A pristine white tennis skirt... and that wasp waist, pert bottom, and long, beautiful legs revealed beneath the hem... tsk tsk tsk... Big brother, I'm all better now..."

Marufuji Sho, fantasizing about the wonderful scenes in the class to come, couldn't help but put on a lecherous, intoxicated expression towards the two men beside him.

That attitude of unabashedly displaying one's desires is simply a model for perverts!

Youxing: “…”

Yuki Judai: "..."

Feeling the intense contemptuous gazes from those around them, Yusei and Jaden Yuki unconsciously shifted their bodies, moving away from Sho Marufuji, who was lost in his ecstasy.

I don't know this scoundrel. Just look at him, don't look at us...

We are both innocent!

"Huh? Yusei, and Big Brother... why are you two so far away from me?"

"...Aren't we the perfect, loving roommates?"

As the two people beside him quickened their pace and moved away from him, Marufuji Sho, startled awake by their piercing gazes, couldn't help but give Yusei and the others a resentful look.

We're supposed to share joys and sorrows, and be each other's angels!

"..."

"..."

After exchanging glances with Jaden Yuki and confirming their thoughts, Yusei decisively chose to ignore Sho Marufuji, who was chasing after them and complaining, and quickened his pace to run into Duel Academy.

Although Yusei, as a sexually normal teenager, had indeed thought about the erotic things Marufuji Sho mentioned, he would never be like Marufuji Sho, directly revealing his lewd thoughts like a complete idiot.

Unlike the other two who were so concerned about how others perceived them, Marufuji Sho was able to openly express his inner thoughts without any reservations. In a way, he was quite remarkable...
