Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Marufuji Sho, who longed to avoid writing reports, reluctantly inquired about Yusei's plans.

Although Marufuji Sho didn't contribute anything, he didn't care at all and was still thinking about getting on the coattails of Yusei to gain some benefits.

After Yusei let the two go, Marufuji Sho's expression changed repeatedly, and he secretly clenched his fists where no one could see.

As for Maeda Hayato...

As a seasoned repeat student who spends most of his time in bed, he probably wouldn't care about attendance records or reports...

"Well...you'll find out tomorrow!"

Yusei winked at the puzzled crowd and struck a confident pose.

He could roughly guess Marufuji Sho's little scheme, but he didn't really care.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Even though he had previously repented with tears in his eyes and had been subjected to the double baptism of his older brother and his own brother, Marufuji Sho's true nature remained unchanged.

They might feel remorse for a while, but after a long time, they'll revert to their original ways.

"When you give the report tomorrow, don't say much. Just leave everything to me!"

"……oh oh!"

Although they didn't know Yusei's specific plans, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Hehe...the show is about to begin!"

With Tengu's reminder, Yusei had already come up with a perfect plan.

Putting away his Duel Disk, Yusei set off on his journey back to Osiris Red Dormitory.

All that's left is to wait until tomorrow.

……

...

"What?! That mysterious duelist who defeated countless Obelisk Blue elites and stole rare cards from them was actually defeated by you guys?!"

The next day after class, Professor Kunonos, who had specifically called Yusei and the others to his office to hear the results, couldn't help but show a shocked expression after hearing the unexpected words from Yusei.

Professor Kunonos's face was filled with disbelief and distrust at this unexpected result.

Yusei and his party > Mysterious duelist > Elite of Obelisk Blue...

Doesn't this result mean that the elites you've trained are actually a bunch of useless people who can't even catch up with Osiris Red's poor students?

"Yeah! That guy had a card duel with me, and then lost to me. In exchange, I got back the rare card that was stolen from him."

Yusei spread out the cards that Kohara had given him on Professor Kunonos's desk, his face displaying an extremely sincere expression. With superb acting skills, he began to vividly recount the duel that had taken place in the forest near the Duel Academy the previous night.

"Speaking of last night, it was truly a dark and stormy night, a night that even gods and ghosts feared... The air itself was filled with an indescribable heavy atmosphere..."

"Bearing the heavy responsibility of being professors, we sacrificed our rest time and patiently waited at the locations where the mysterious duelists frequently appeared, all in the hope of catching one red-handed..."

"After a long wait, we finally met that guy. After a fierce battle, we finally fulfilled our mission, defeated the mysterious duelist, and got justice for the innocent Obelisk Blue students!"

Speaking of Yusei, he stood up straight, his face radiating righteousness, and his whole being exuded a sincere and noble selfless brilliance, showing absolutely no trace of what he was talking nonsense about.

Along with the rare cards that originally belonged to the students of Obelisk Blue, which were spread out on the table, Yusei's words carried considerable credibility.

"Ah this..."

"Uh...(⊙o⊙)..."

"I'm speechless..."

Watching Yusei's superb acting skills, which were like those of an Oscar-winning actor, the group of Yuki Jaden and his companions, who had been called over and were now acting as spectators, couldn't help but show quite interesting expressions on their faces.

If they hadn't witnessed the whole incident firsthand and clearly understood the true identity of the mysterious duel, even Jaden Yuki and his friends wouldn't have been able to believe Yusei's "heartfelt words" at this moment.

There's no way around it; this old fox from the OCG has no doubt about his acting skills, and his ability to empathize is only high, not low...

"Unfortunately... while I was counting the cards, that cunning fellow seized the opportunity to escape..."

With a regretful and annoyed expression on his face, Yusei clenched his fist and slammed it on the table in front of him, also waking up Professor Kunonos, who was stunned by his outburst.

"Waaah... Yusei-kun, I never imagined you were such a considerate student... I even thought you were a bad student like Yuki Jaden... I really shouldn't have done that!"

"...Don't worry about that guy who ran away, it's good that you're alright!"

Professor Chronos, who deliberately omitted the "men" and ignored Jaden Yuki's speechless expression behind Yusei, took out a handkerchief to wipe his nose and couldn't help but suggest, "Now it seems that keeping you in Osiris Red was really a waste of your talents!"

"How about it? How about transferring to our Obelisk Blue? An outstanding student like you, who is willing to give to others and respects teachers, should become a model representative of our Duel Academy!"

Professor Kunonos, moved to tears by Yusei's words, stood up from his desk without a word, stretched out his arms, and tightly grasped Yusei's shoulders: "Staying with Osiris Red will only let you be influenced by the bad students..."

"How about it? Think about it!"

If it weren't for the desk in the way, Professor Kunonos would have given Yusei a warm hug right now.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Professor..."

Taking a few steps back subtly, avoiding Professor Chronos's earnest gaze and the hands draped over his shoulders, Yusei, his face filled with regret, said in a low, heavy voice, "While I am very grateful for Professor Chronos's appreciation, Daitokuji-sensei has also been very kind to me. Right now, I cannot bring myself to leave Osiris Red..."

"I see... I really envy Daitokuji, having a good student like you who cares about him. Unlike me, I don't have a single one who's useful..."

Professor Kunonos nodded to Yusei with an understanding look on his face, but with a hint of regret in his voice, he couldn't help but withdraw his suggestion.

As Yusei said, as a professor at the academy, he really shouldn't have engaged in such poaching behavior.

"Hmm? In that case, does that mean we don't have to write reports?"

Seeing the silence that had fallen, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but speak up and make a suggestion.

"Ah...yes! That's definitely true!"

Professor Kunonos waved his hand forward, collecting the cards from his desk, and then said to the group in front of him, "I will now hand these cards over to the victims! You can all leave, and you don't need to write any reports!"

“That’s great!”

Upon hearing the good news, Marufuji Sho jumped up with his hands raised, while Yuki Judai beside him, after a moment of silence, revealed a knowing smile.

If a lie can make everyone happy and make things turn out positively, then there's no need for him to say anything more.

Heroes may represent justice, but they are not inflexible or rigid thinkers.

If I were to foolishly reveal the truth of the matter here, it would only embarrass everyone and would not make the situation better.

Just as Yusei said last night, he has now given everyone a happy ending with a lie, one in which no one gets hurt...

Professor Kunonos was satisfied, no longer worried about his position being threatened or his students being attacked.

Yuxing and his friends can avoid tedious reports and use that time to do what they want.

After venting their anger, Ohara and Ohara were given a chance to start over and walked side by side toward a brighter tomorrow.

Having learned their lesson from this incident, the arrogant Obelisk Blues will at least restrain their behavior for a while to avoid the emergence of another "mysterious duelist" who attacks them!

This result is sufficient for now.

And so, guided by the Heavenly Palace Knot and through Yusei's actual actions, a world where no one was injured was created.

264. I'm familiar with this area; I'll stake it out and wait for people!

Thump ↗ Thump ↘ Thump ↗ Thump ↘……

Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump...

Da da da……

It's a new day again.

It's lunch break time at the Duel Academy headquarters.

Accompanying the rhythmic, pleasant ringing of bells were the hurried footsteps of Yusei and his companions.

"Gacha bread... Whether you're unlucky or lucky will be revealed at this moment..."

"Today... I must draw the golden egg today!"

Muttering the name of something to himself with an excited expression, Yusei got up without hesitation and rushed towards the sales area the moment the bell rang.

Today, he made up his mind to snatch the limited-edition bread, which was only available one per day, from the clutches of Yuki Judai.

"You're too naive, Yusei!... The golden egg bread will still be mine today!"

Wiping his nose, Jaden Yuki followed behind Yusei.

With a confident expression on his face, he seemed completely unconcerned that Yusei would steal his bread.

"Ugh..."

"Wait for me...you two!"

Watching the two leave the classroom quickly, Marufuji Shoya, who was left alone, stood up abruptly.

Running at the back, he shouted as he stretched out his right arm toward Yusei and Jaden Yuki, who were in front of him. However, the two, whose minds were already filled with the gacha bread, did not hear Marufuji Sho's words at all.

"……arrive!"

Yusei raised his arm high and ran to the shelf piled high with bread. He pushed through the crowd and randomly pulled out a card-drawing bread from the pile.

The card-drawing bread is a special lunch recently launched by the sales department.

As the name suggests, it's like a sandwich filling with randomness, hidden under packaging where the contents are not clearly visible, similar to a duel card pack.

Croquettes, fried noodles, pizza, ham...

Or perhaps it's made from the extremely rare golden egg that only lays one a day from the golden chickens raised at the Duel Academy...

What flavor you get is completely random and depends entirely on your luck.

Compared to the previously sold fixed flavors, this novel experience immediately attracted a large audience.

Because you have no idea what flavor is hidden under the packaging, every time you open the package, it's full of unexpected surprises.

Looking at the crowded people around him, Yusei couldn't help but feel speechless.

Those whose classrooms are closer to the sales area can arrive here before Yusei and his group.
