Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

The incident, which began with the theft of the golden egg bread, ended with the culprit, Daiyama, crying bitterly, thanks to the intervention of Yusei and his friends.

I returned to the mountains of Obelisk Blue, cut off my long, messy hair that reached my waist, and put on an Obelisk Blue and white trench coat.

Thanks to Aunt Duomei's pleas, Dashan's year-long absence from school was ultimately treated as a suspension.

Now, he is about to begin a brand new life...

……

After that, it was a brand new day.

Yusei, who came to the sales department with Daiyama and Yuki Jaden, couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he looked at the piles of bread on the shelves.

They just confirmed with Aunt Domi.

The only golden egg bread truly exists within this sea of ​​bread.

"Today is the moment to prove my secret technique! I must draw that one and only light!" With a resolute expression on his face, Dashan was the first to reach out his hand to the pile of bread.

"Oh! My turn, draw a card!" Muttering the line about drawing a card, Jaden Yuki quickly followed in Oyama's footsteps.

"...Will it be me in the end?"

After pondering for a moment, Yusei, stroking his chin, finally chose a loaf of bread with some trepidation and tore it open with one hand.

To be honest, I have two incredibly lucky people around me who are good at drawing lots.

The pressure is indeed a tiny bit...

Whether I draw first or second, I don't feel like I have a guaranteed win...

Just as the three of them were opening the packages with their own thoughts in mind, a surprised female voice suddenly came from opposite them.

"Yay! I won! It's a golden egg bread, I'm so happy!"

The three of them: "What... (OωO?)?!"

Upon hearing the sound, the three immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Asuka, holding a golden egg bread, was laughing happily as she flashed a victory sign at the three people who were standing there dumbfounded...

That posture was like that of a victorious king looking down on a defeated weakling...

The one who grasped that single ray of light was neither Daiyama, who had mastered the art of gacha pulls, nor Jaden Yuki, who possessed godlike draw abilities, nor even Yusei, who had just found his own path...

The ultimate victor belongs to the Queen of Obelisk Blue—Tenjōin Asuka.

"..."

Looking up at the ceiling of the sales area, Yusei put a piece of bread in his mouth and began to ponder life.

The road to becoming a European champion seems to be long and arduous!

……

"Look this way, everyone! I have some big news to announce!"

It was a new day, and Yusei happened to pass by the store during the break between classes when he suddenly heard Aunt Duomei's voice.

It seems that some major event is about to happen today.

“…What what?”

"...A major event? Could it be that Wan Zhangmu is bringing three thousand followers, planning a triumphant return, and putting on a show of fortunes shifting every thirty years?"

"Nonsense! That's no big deal... Since Aunt Domi said so, it must be something quite interesting!"

"Exactly, exactly, what are you thinking..."

The chattering of the discussion echoed in his ears, and curious Yusei quickly followed the crowd into the sales area.

"Actually, it's like this..."

Aunt Domi slowly pulled out a poster and pasted it on the wall: "The deck used by the legendary Duel King—Yugi Muto—will be exhibited at the academy!"

"What?! It's Mr. Game's deck!"

Just as Aunt Tomie finished speaking, Judai Yuki's excited words suddenly rang out.

With an excited expression, Jaden Yuki squeezed through the crowd and came to Yusei's side. Then he looked at the poster on the wall that featured a half-body portrait of Yugi Muto.

"These eyes... are they Xiao Biao's?" Looking at the seemingly harmless and friendly eyes in the poster, Yusei couldn't help but wonder.

Under the influence of the Millennium Puzzle, one of the Seven Sacred Treasures, Yugi Muto developed two distinct personalities.

One is the reincarnation of Pharaoh Atum, representing the dark side of the king.

The other is the original face personality, or simply the light side of the face personality.

Wang Yang's personality has fallen into the abyss along with the Seven Sacred Treasures.

The king's soul then returned to the embrace of the underworld.

All that remains in the world is the original, lesser personality.

Who would have thought that this seemingly weak and completely different persona from Yugi Muto's Yugi form would be a top-notch user of heavy trap decks...

In the final battle against another version of himself in the royal tomb in the first generation, he completely overwhelmed one of the three Egyptian God cards, the traitorous dragon (Osiris's Sky Dragon). He was Seto Kaiba's eternal rival, a powerful duelist whom he had never defeated...

This is the first Duel King – Yugi Muto.

The decks he used were naturally priceless treasures coveted by countless duelists...

"Yugi Muto's deck... If I got that deck... wouldn't I be able to become the Duel King too?" In the crowd, a boy wearing a yellow uniform of the sun god and with a strange hairstyle looked at the poster on the wall and couldn't help but say such words.

"...It's you again! Kagurazaka! Have you forgotten how you tried to copy Professor Chronos's 'Ancient Machine' deck and got completely crushed by Osiris Red's Marufuji Sho? Or are you planning to copy Yugi-sensei's deck this time?"

Upon hearing Kagurazaka's whisper, the person next to him immediately began to complain.

Recalling the duel that had taken place, he, as a witness, couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Kagurazaka, a member of the Yellow Sun God, actually lost in a duel to Marufuji Sho, who was also at the bottom of the Red Osiris...

The way he lost was by directly taking the counterattack damage from the trap card [Magic Cylinder], essentially killing himself...

...How embarrassing!

"Really? You can't even beat Marufuji Sho?"

"Is this a lie?"

Astonished gazes, like sharp knives, pierced Kagurazaka's fragile heart, making his stance delicate.

"...Stop talking nonsense! That duel was just an accident!"

A look of panic crossed her face, and feeling the sympathetic glances from those around her, Kagurazaka's face flushed bright red.

Despite his efforts to defend himself, the pressure from those around him made him feel suffocated.

"wipe……"

Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere and with her embarrassing past being exposed by others, Kagurazaka hurriedly took a step and fled the sales department.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"It's all Professor Kunonos's fault that his deck was so trash, that's why I lost that duel!"

As Kagurazaka ran down the corridor, recalling the mockery she had just suffered, a venomous glint flashed in her eyes.

Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba, Ryo Marufuji, Kunonos...

Kagurazaka thoroughly studied the tactics and matches of these duelists and even created corresponding decks.

Even so, he still could not win the duel.

"...If I replaced my deck with Yugi Muto's deck, I definitely wouldn't lose!"

Since studying their tactics is useless, why don't I just take their decks and use them myself?

Isn't this an opportunity that just happens to be right in front of us at this point in time?

"Jie Jie Jie..."

A smile that hinted at conspiracy appeared on Kagurazaka's face.

A bold idea was already taking shape in his mind...

……

"What... just happened?"

Out of the corner of his eye, Yusei noticed Kagurazaka's fleeing figure, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

Could it be... that someone was intimidated by Xiao Biao's aura and ran away? That can't be...

His mind was preoccupied with reminiscing about Yugi Muto's past, and he didn't notice Kagurazaka being mocked as a clown by everyone.

"Huh? Is there any?"

Jaden Yuki, who was also staring at the poster, replied with a puzzled look after hearing Yusei's voice, "I didn't notice anything unusual."

"Really? Maybe it's just my imagination..."

Putting aside his earlier doubts, Yusei began to think about Yugi Muto's deck composition.

First of all, Yugi Muto's ace monster, a 7-star blank monster with an attack power of 2500—[Dark Magician]—will definitely be there.

Now that the Dark Magician is available, it's inevitable that the other cards that come with him will follow suit...

What about [Dark Magician Girl], [Fantasy Apprentice Mage], [Magician's Wand], [Magician's Twin Souls], [Super Magician Swordsman], [Super Magician Warrior], [Gate of Eternity], [Dark Magic Circle]...

Even an environmental scourge, known as "Red Daddy"—[Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight]...

They could all appear in that deck.

"Yusei, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Yusei deep in thought beside him, Jaden Yuki couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"nothing……"

Coming to his senses, Yusei smiled slightly at Jaden Yuki and said, "I was just thinking, if I were to face Yugi Muto's deck, what would I do to win?"

"Hey! You're overthinking it!" Jaden Yuki waved his hand at Yusei and then laughed, "I already said, this deck is just for show, I'm not going to use it in any duels!"

"Besides Mr. Game himself, who else can handle this deck?"
