Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Although he had various opinions about the former Professor Chronos and had had various conflicts with him.

But... after witnessing the final moments of Professor Chronos's life, Manjou finally found peace in his heart.

The past seems less important now; we must look to the future.

"Camille...she just left like that?" Jaden Yuki was very upset that she had just shown off and then run away.

"What should we do next?" Asuka looked towards Yusei, hoping he could come up with an idea.

"Professor Chronos... has become like that..." Hayato was still in a state of shock and disappointment.

"That woman named Camilla, let us go back and patiently wait for her invitation."

Shrugging, Yusei then gave everyone a helpless look: "It seems today's duel... will have to end here..."

"Too……"

After exchanging glances, the group, along with Professor Chronos's puppet, returned to the Duel Academy headquarters from the lakeside, which had served as the battlefield.

Regarding today's defeat and its devastating consequences...

Everyone, including Yusei, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

However, there is no need to be so desperate now.

Perhaps, Professor Chronos can still be saved.

After all... when you can't solve the problem, you can always deal with the person who caused it!

If we defeat Camilla, Professor Chronos, who has been turned into a puppet, might be able to return to his original form!

……

"Ugh... how do I turn Professor Chronos back to normal?!"

Inside the Duel Academy's infirmary, the group gathered there were contemplating their next move.

Looking at the doll in Manjoume's hand, Yuki Judai couldn't help but cross his arms and let out a deep sigh.

Although Professor Chronos is usually a nuisance and often causes him trouble.

But... Jaden Yuki actually felt a little uneasy without this person's presence.

Just like when Manjoume resolutely left before, Yusei felt a deep sense of regret, as if he had lost a suitable punching bag by his side...

This feeling is quite complicated.

"The only path left is to win the duel in the dark..."

Picking up where Jaden left off, Daitokuji-sensei, stroking Pharaoh's head, had a deep shadow fall over his face: "But... if I lose, I'll turn into a puppet like Professor Chronos. I don't want that!"

As these words fell, Daitokuji-sensei unconsciously tightened his grip on the Pharaoh's head.

The fat cat, feeling the pain of having its fate choked, began to struggle desperately in his arms.

After that, Pharaoh jumped out of Daitokuji's embrace and quickly hid under the bed.

Seeing his feline overlord run away, Master Daitokuji quickly followed it under the bed and called out to Yusei and the others in a frightened tone, "...If that old woman sends out another invitation, please tell her for me...I'm sick and can't go!"

,^【"

It's not that I don't want to go... or that I'm afraid to go, it's just that I'm sick, teacher!

His reasoning was sound and convincing; he was a hero among cowards.

"Is my mother-in-law alright...?"

As Yusei pondered Daitokuji's words, a playful expression appeared on his face.

If that woman with the exaggerated facial expressions knew what Daitokuji-sensei thought of her, she'd probably be furious!

"Teacher...you're really something..."

Even Marufuji Sho couldn't help but cover his face, feeling ashamed of Daitokuji's stage fright.

Even Professor Chronos bravely (?) chose to face the danger head-on. As a fellow teacher and dormitory supervisor, how can you let your students stand in front of you and take the lead in the battle instead of you?

"But...teacher, I'm really scared!"

"I originally thought... that the Dark Duel was just a rumor... I never expected it to actually happen..."

From under the bed came the somewhat weak voice of Master Daitokuji.

It seems he realized that his behavior was indeed somewhat shameful and that he could not set a good example for the students.

"A battle where life and soul are at stake. This is the Dark Duel."

Sitting by Fubuki's bedside, watching over her unconscious brother, Asuka murmured to herself, "Therefore, we must win the upcoming duel."

A serious expression appeared on Asuka's beautiful face.

Seeing her brother's current situation, she felt extremely sad.

To wantonly toy with the souls and lives of others...

King of the Seven Stars...

What do you people take life for?

Are the Dark Duels just trivial child's play to you?

"In short, as long as we keep winning, that's all that matters."

"Being afraid before a battle will only make you a liability..."

"Duel in the Dark is indeed a terrifying duel, but that's precisely why we can't afford to lose..." Clearing his throat, Yusei leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, opened his eyes, and said calmly, "...Whether it's Duel in the Dark or any other opponent, I don't intend to lose, nor will I choose to run away!"

"...According to Darkness's previous statement, the world will end in despair the moment the three Phantom Demons awaken...Unless we can escape to outer space or another world, we will all be drawn into this magnificent struggle, whether willingly or unwillingly!"

"Rather than lingering on until the very last moment, I would rather... actively throw myself into battle!"

The sentences are powerful and each word is precious.

At this moment, Yusei's face was filled with unwavering determination.

"..."

Influenced by him, the crowd, who originally had various ideas, couldn't help but shut their mouths and quietly consider the gains and losses.

Asuka's gaze towards Yusei was filled with a dazzling light.

At this chaotic time, people like Yusei, who can stabilize people's hearts and give them confidence, are exactly what they need.

Otherwise, before the Seven Star Kings on the other side could even make a move, their side... might very well break up prematurely due to disagreements, and then be defeated one by one.

In that case, the key would fall into the hands of those madmen who crave destruction, and the world would truly be doomed!

"Ahem... Anyway, a battle is inevitable, the next question is who will fight..." Feeling a little uncomfortable under the admiring gazes of everyone, Yusei decisively changed the subject: "...I vote for Caesar."

Earlier by the lake, Caesar had already harbored the desire to avenge Professor Chronos.

Yusei was also full of confidence in his abilities.

You should abandon all mainstream options and join the invincible Sebastián.jpg

Vampire decks with the "Last Word" effect are no match for the invincible Cyber ​​Dragon deck.

What's more, the one using this Cyber ​​Dragon deck is Kaiba's Three White Dragons, who can stick related cards together and seems to want to draw three Cyber ​​Dragons plus Fusion Spells every time!

Tri-Body Fusion Summoning - Electronic Terminator Dragon!

Then, with the combined boost of [Power Combination] and [Restriction Removal], the attack power doubles and doubles again, reaching 16000 points of Eternal Evolution Burst.

What are the effects of having a broken character with a dying message?

So what if you grow to a gigantic size and your attack power doubles?

Before the Electronic Terminator Dragon, they are nothing but ants!

"Ah! Since Yusei says so, then I'll vote for Caesar too!"

"Me too……"

"I also……"

……

Therefore, the next opponent was decided to be the man known as Caesar—Ryo Marufuji.

"Brother... um, this..."

Seeing his older brother being chosen as the representative, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but show a slightly embarrassed expression: "You must be careful when fighting that terrifying guy!"

For Marufuji Sho, his older brother was a stronger being than his eldest brother, Yuki Jaden.

In this academy, perhaps only Youxing can be compared to him.

"...Xiang?"

Looking at his younger brother, who seemed somewhat different from before and had grown up a bit, now showing concern for him, Caesar smiled slightly: "...Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

In Camilla's previous duel with Professor Chronos, Caesar, who looked towards the distant future, had already seen through her tactics.

In the next duel, it will be his turn to fight back in place of Professor Chronos!

……

After the meeting, Manjoume and Yusei and the others returned to their single dorm rooms together.

Originally, he wanted to maintain his proud lone wolf attitude and planned to go it alone.

However, after Yusei's patient persuasion, Manjoume finally changed his mind and was forced to decide to temporarily join them.

"Hmph! There's really no other way! Teaming up with you guys is really unpleasant... but given the current situation, this is the only option!"

Even as he turned his head to the side and uttered these words, Manjoume remained as arrogant as ever...

Osiris Red Dormitory.

Manjoume, with his card deck on the bed alongside Professor Chronos's doll, is contemplating his next move.
