Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

At least for now, Yusei doesn't believe he can do something as amazing as Marufuji Sho.

……

"Class, today's PE class is tennis!"

"Yes~~~"

"That's great!!!"

"This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

The main campus of Duel Academy, the sports stadium where the tennis courts are located.

Accompanied by the sweet voice of Ms. Ayukawa Megumi, the enjoyable tennis lesson spent with the girls of Obelisk Blue officially began.

Inside the boys' changing room.

A strange human wall formed around Marufuji Sho.

At the center of the human wall was Sho Marufuji, who was delivering the LSP declaration.

The content was nothing more than about the advantages of tennis skirts and long legs, which was no different from what Tong Youxing and the others had said before.

"real or fake……"

"Holy crap... is this for real?"

After Marufuji Sho's vivid and embellished speech, even some boys who had initially remained hesitant joined Marufuji Sho's LSP camp...

In the minds of these boys, tennis lessons inevitably involve corresponding tennis uniforms.

When talking about tennis uniforms, one cannot help but think of white skirts fluttering in the wind, girls freely spitting out beads of youthful sweat, long, slender legs occasionally revealed due to intense exercise, and fleeting moments of elegance that are usually unseen...

Although the presence of those dreaded safety shorts prevented the gentlemen from getting a glimpse of the secret realm, their powerful imaginations could, to some extent, make up for this huge disappointment.

In short, it's unclear what benefits Marufuji Sho promised them.

After that, the boys, who had quickly changed in the changing room, led by Marufuji Sho, who stood tall and proud, eagerly rushed into the tennis court to wait for the Oberlind girls to appear.

At this moment, Marufuji Sho seemed to have reached the pinnacle of his life...

"...Awesome, absolutely awesome!"

"Xiang... what's wrong?"

Yusei, who had already changed into a Duel Academy tracksuit, stood with Jaden Yuki, arms crossed, looking with admiration at the group of LSPs led by Sho Marufuji, who were waiting not far from the exit of the girls' changing room.

In the previous changing room, a large group of like-minded companions had gathered around Marufuji Sho.

Although it wasn't on a beach with azure seas and skies, these grown men, yearning for pretty girls, were still won over by Marufuji Sho's sweet talk...

After all, aside from people like Jaden Yuki who aren't interested in girls, who can resist the allure of long legs?

Even Yusei, a man of impeccable character, felt a slight stirring of emotion after hearing Marufuji Sho's impassioned speech in the changing room... not to mention the others...

However, Yusei, who had stepped out of the changing room ahead of time, suddenly realized a very serious problem.

There is often a significant gap between reality and ideals...

Although reluctant to shatter the boys' fantasies, Yusei had to admit a cruel truth.

That is to say—the tennis skirts and long legs that boys imagine are very likely not going to happen...

In contrast to the blue and white tracksuits that completely covered the boys' bodies, the girls would most likely wear purple and white tracksuits of the same style from Duel Academy.

"Um... everyone... I have something to say..."

Just as Yusei was about to ruthlessly shatter the men's pointless fantasies to avoid putting them in an awkward position later, the girls, having changed their clothes, began to emerge from the exit of the girls' changing room one after another.

Just as Yusei had imagined, the girls were now wearing the same purple and white tracksuits they had worn in gym class before...

A pure white tennis ball skirt or anything like that doesn't exist at all...

"Nani?"

"Holy crap...we're doomed..."

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

If you want to be the boss, you have to be prepared to be ousted by your underlings at any time.

Realizing he had done something wrong, Marufuji Sho silently lowered his head, which had been held high.

The reason he gathered so many followers was purely for the various benefits that would follow.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

It gets rather awkward when you realize you can't get the promised benefits, and you wonder if the person who made the promise actually has the guts...

"...Huh? What's going on?!"

"Damn it... Is this really how it's going to turn out?!"

"Damn it! All my expectations were dashed!"

"╭(╯^╰)╮ I even had a sliver of hope... I knew it would turn out like this!"

"General Marufuji Sho... please give us a reasonable explanation!!!"

……

Seeing the girls appearing in the stadium not in tennis skirts but in bulky uniforms, the group of LSPs couldn't help but show expressions of regret. They then turned their anger towards Marufuji Sho, the leader, and gave him a series of dramatic face-changing performances...

What a disappointment... Where's the beautiful scenery you were promised?

The girls look worse now than when they wore the Obelisk Blue uniforms!

At least that was a short-sleeved sailor uniform with a pencil skirt... This bulky tracksuit is just indescribable!

"...Arnold...Everyone?"

Looking around at the group of men who were angrily ready to confront him, Marufuji Sho broke out in a cold sweat.

His first reaction was to run away as fast as he could, but surrounded by a group of grown men, he was completely unable to escape the clutches reaching out to him.

"Yusei...Big Brother..."

Marufuji Sho, who was being held by a group of boys, instinctively reached out his arm for help to the two people who were watching the drama unfold.

"Xiang, your new friends are so enthusiastic~~~"

Whether it was an act or not, Yuki Judai waved to Marufuji Sho with a bright smile on his face.

"……(?ω

Standing next to Jaden Yuki, Yusei winked at Sho Marufuji, who was surrounded by a group of boys, and then quickly turned away, as if he had never recognized Sho Marufuji from the beginning.

"Maru...Fuji...Sho...!!! Please give us an explanation!"

"Yeah, yeah, I only followed you around because I heard there were pretty girls with long legs to see... Now they're all gone, how are you going to compensate me for my loss?!"

"That's right... You're fully responsible for the current situation, Marufuji Sho!"

Facing Marufuji Sho, who was burying his head in his hands like an ostrich, the boys who had led the troublemaking all adopted the posture of street thugs from a third-rate urban novel.

(I'll post the other chapter tomorrow... My eyes are already blurry and I can't take it anymore...)

245 Murderous Tennis!

"I was wrong……"

Looking at the crowd that had just been flattering him for benefits, but now came over angrily to interrogate him, Marufuji Sho raised his head and forced out an expression that was even more unsightly than crying.

After briefly enjoying the treatment of a big brother, Marufuji Sho is about to reap the consequences of his actions and be sent back to hell...

Moreover, it was a physical "beating" back...

"Oh? That expression... it seems you've already prepared yourself for the worst!"

"You know what will happen next, right?"

"...Hehehe!"

"In that case, we won't stand on ceremony!"

"Brothers, beat him up!!!"

Clenching their fists in front of them, the boys who had led the trouble were ready to beat up Marufuji Sho.

"Ami (o(>﹏)"

Whatever you want, just please don't hit my handsome face! I'm counting on this to pick up girls in the future!

"It's no use talking more!"

Surrounded by a group of kind classmates, Marufuji Sho fully experienced the love and care among them.

When he finally broke free from the crowd and scrambled to his feet to reach Yuki Jaden and Yusei, he was already in a battered and broken state.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

"Big brother... Yusei... you guys really are my best buddies!"

With tears of regret welling up in his eyes, Marufuji Sho, who had been wrestling with a bunch of grown men, finally woke up from his unrealistic fantasies.

"..."

Having already experienced Marufuji Sho's shamelessness, Yusei crossed his arms and remained silent.

When Yuki Judai, Marufuji's older brother, saw Marufuji's miserable state, he finally softened and began to comfort him, who had suffered great physical and emotional damage.

……

After a farce, which wasn't really a big deal and was caused by Marufuji Sho, the tennis lesson finally officially began.

As with any other competition, the tennis class at Duel Academy was divided into groups, roughly into boys' teams versus girls' teams.

Whether by chance or by design, Yusei's rival is the Queen of Obelisk Blue—Tenjōin Asuka.

Meanwhile, Jaden Yuki and Sho Marufuji's rivals are Asuka's two best friends—Junko Makita, with her reddish-brown shoulder-length hair, and Momoe Hamaguchi, with her long black hair tied in a ponytail.

In the previous SAL monkey incident, after interacting with Yusei and his friends, the two girls' opinions of Yuki Jaden, apart from Yusei, also changed to some extent.

In their original mind, Yuki Jaden was the kind of vulgar person who spoke without restraint, who was not only arrogant, but also a hot-blooded idiot who didn't care about those around him!

However, after that incident, they also learned that Jaden Yuki was not the useless person they had imagined.
