Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

【OK! 】

Yusei saw the "read" mark on his phone and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

It feels so good to be cared for by someone in an unfamiliar environment.

……

Yusei, having just left the Duel Academy, soon spotted Jaden Yuki and Sho Marufuji in the corridor outside.

The two were leaning against a stone bench by the roadside, looking at an electronic manual in their hands, seemingly studying how to use the equipment.

The two were wearing the same red uniforms, indicating that they, like Yusei, had been assigned to the Osiris-Red Dormitory.

Yusei looked around but didn't see Daichi Misawa; it seemed he hadn't come out of the academy yet.

"Oh? My dorm is Osiris-Red..." Jaden Yuki looked at the device in his hand, seemingly having found his dorm information.

“I’m also famous,” Marufuji Sho chimed in from the side.

"Hey~ You guys got assigned to the red dorm too?" Yusei walked up and greeted the two of them.

When Jaden Yuki saw Yusei walking over, he gave him a frank smile and joked, "We might even end up in the same dorm room!"

"Could such a coincidence really happen?" Marufuji Sho scratched his head, a look of doubt on his face.

Just then, Yusei saw Misawa Daichi walking out of the exit.

"Hey! Second place, did you also get assigned to the red dormitory?" Yuki Judai leaned against the stone bench and greeted Misawa Daichi as he walked over.

“No, you can tell by looking at my uniform.” Misawa Daichi stopped in his tracks, a smug look on his face.

"I was assigned to the Sun God-Yellow dormitory."

Daichi Misawa placed his palm on his chest, allowing the three to see the uniform he wore that represented the Sun God, Yellow.

"So that's why the uniform is colored?" Jaden Yuki looked at his uniform and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Damn! I never expected that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray our little group and join the Yellow camp!" Yusei walked up to Misawa Daichi, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said jokingly.

"...I'd like to ask why you two were assigned to the red dormitory, given your formidable dueling skills." Daichi Misawa frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by the school's arrangement.

(Marufuji Sho: Meow meow meow???)

"Why does your tone sound a bit sarcastic?" Judai Yuki sensed a hint of sarcasm in Daichi Misawa's words and felt a little annoyed. He grinned and said, his face showing a defiant expression.

"Well, don't mind it." Daichi Misawa smiled and changed the subject.

"My apologies, first place." After saying this, Misawa Daichi turned and left, seemingly heading to his dormitory.

"Don't fall behind, keep up the good work!" Jaden Yuki waved his right hand at Daichi Misawa's departing figure, reminding him.

Upon hearing this, Daichi Misawa turned around, pointed in a certain direction, and said to Yusei and the other two, "By the way, your dorm seems to be right across the street!"

"Didn't the teacher just say that the dormitory is a bit far from the academy?" Yuxing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Well, the electronic manual should have information about the dorms, you guys can take a look at that." Misawa Daichi waved his hand, and this time he really left.

053 The legendary red dormitory

Yusei took out his electronic handbook and compared the dormitory numbers with those of Yuki Judai and Marufuji Sho. He found that, just as Yuki Judai had said, they had indeed been assigned to the same dormitory.

So the three of them decided to go to the red dormitory together.

When Misawa Daichi mentioned "the other side," he meant the other side across the cliff.

In terms of straight-line distance, the red dormitory is indeed not far from the college.

But below the cliff is a turbulent current, and you would be swept away by the waves the moment you fall... I believe that no one with a normal IQ would choose to swim directly from the college to the dormitory.

Yusei isn't Superman and can't fly to the other side, so he naturally has no choice but to follow Jaden Yuki and Sho Marufuji and take a detour to the Red Dormitory.

……

Duel Academy is a three-year professional school. Its dormitories can be roughly divided into three categories, corresponding to the three colors of the uniforms.

Regardless of grade level, in the same category of dormitories, in addition to freshmen, there are also upperclassmen and upperclasswomen, which is similar to other residential schools.

Out of Kaiba's own motives, Obelisk Blue represents the elite class of the Duel Academy, where many students are young masters and ladies from various companies and conglomerates, and the dormitories assigned to them are naturally the highest-class ones.

The brochure shows that the dormitories in Obelisk-Blue are divided into male and female sections. Both are European-style castle buildings, located in the most advantageous area of ​​the island. The decoration color is predominantly blue, which is magnificent and grand, symbolizing the "superior" status of the students in the Blue Dormitory.

The dormitory has a dedicated activity area with all kinds of facilities.

The river and sea of ​​flowers can be seen from the entrance of the dormitory, a beautiful sight.

The Blue Dormitory holds a similar status on the island as a luxury ocean-view room in the city.

……

The dormitory of the Sun God-Huang is located on the top of a cliff next to the college.

The dormitory is surrounded by a dense green forest.

Students living here can see the boundless blue ocean and the vast sky as they step out of their dormitories, which are surrounded by trees.

The overall decoration style of Huang's dormitory leans towards green, and its appearance is somewhat similar to a museum, seemingly to correspond with the dense forest surrounding the dormitory.

While not as luxurious as the dormitories in Obelisk-Blue, this place is still quite comfortable and peaceful.

Duel Academy is divided into a junior high school and a senior high school. Only students with excellent grades in the junior high school can be assigned to the Obelisk Blue dormitory when they enter the senior high school.

Freshmen admitted from outside the university, no matter how excellent their grades are, can only be assigned to the Sun God Yellow Dormitory.

Although Daichi Misawa has excellent grades, he is a freshman who was admitted to the high school from outside the school, so he cannot enter Obelisk Blue.

……

As for Osiris-Red...

Looking at the dilapidated building in front of him, Yusei's face showed a hesitant expression.

Even though he had been somewhat prepared, he was still shocked by what he saw.

Osiris-Red's dormitory always reminded him of the temporary prefabricated houses on construction sites...

What comes into view are low-level partitioned rooms. Looking around, there are communal washrooms and toilets, just like those on a construction site...

The only difference is that the red dormitory is built with cement bricks, unlike the prefabricated houses used on the construction site.

"Hey! What is this...?"

"Isn't it excessive that only Osiris-Red's dormitory is like this?"

Marufuji Sho touched the outer wall of the dormitory and said with some disappointment.

"Really? You can see the sea from here, I think it's quite interesting!" Judai Yuki said excitedly, leaning on the second-floor railing and gazing into the distance.

"Well, since we're here, let's make the best of it," Yusei said reassuringly.

Although he was initially shocked, Yusei gradually calmed down.

Yusei didn't have much of an opinion about being assigned to Osiris-Red.

After all, he didn't take the Duel Academy's exam, so it's equivalent to having no score.

With the recommendation of Tengu Kyo, entering the high school of Duel Academy as a special recruit is enough; there is no need to insist on being assigned to Obelisk-Blue.

Yu Xing also lived in a dormitory during junior high school. Back then, it was a 12-person dormitory. A large group of people were crammed into a small room, and you had to walk sideways to avoid blocking the passageway.

During the day, I'm busy with classes and exams, and at night I have to endure snoring, chatter, and loud noise from the speakers.

There are queues for everything – eating, showering, and using the toilet – and as a card player, he's constantly being mocked for not doing his job properly…

He survived those three years. Compared to that time, the four-person dormitory in Osiris-Red is now quite good. One should learn to be content.

Moreover, here, dueling is the real business, and he no longer needs to worry about no one understanding his hobby.

Moreover, Jaden Yuki is at the center of all sorts of events, and sharing a dormitory with him means the next three years won't be boring.

Having figured all this out, Yusei felt relieved.

……

Yusei followed the two up the stairs to the second floor of the dormitory.

"Here! Here!"

"This is our room!" Jaden Yuki walked to the dormitory door, turned the doorknob, and opened the door.

Yusei looked inside and noticed that the dormitory curtains were drawn, making the room somewhat dim.

With the light shining in from outside the door, Yusei was finally able to see the internal structure.

What came into view was a large single room without any partition walls.

On the right-hand side upon entering, you can see essential household appliances such as a faucet, kettle, and refrigerator, suggesting that this is where cooking takes place.

Two wooden bunk beds were placed on the inside of the room, with wooden ladders welded to the edges of the beds so that students living on the upper bunks could climb up to the upper bunks.

Near the bed, four sets of tables and chairs are placed side by side against the wall, indicating that this dormitory room is for four people.

The curtains near the bed were tightly closed, blocking the light coming in from outside.

"It's a room where the dormitory and the hall are connected." Marufuji Sho walked in from the door and looked at the interior structure.

"It's surprisingly cramped... but it's enough for daily life."

Jaden Yuki walked to the center of the room, looked around, and made this assessment.

"This environment is pretty good." Although the room was a bit run-down, the overall feeling was not bad. At least in Yusei's opinion, it was much better than the dormitory he had lived in before.

"We actually became roommates, this must be what they call fate."

"Maybe we are the reincarnations of ancient Egyptian pharaohs and priests, otherwise how could we be so destined to meet!"

Marufuji Sho, who had been skeptical just moments before, was now grinning foolishly and spouting nonsensical words.

"Judai, you were really cool in the exam duel. May I call you Pharaoh Judai?" Marufuji Sho stopped calling Yuki Judai "Number 110" and started calling him by his name affectionately.

"Pharaoh is such a weird title." Hearing Marufuji Sho address him like that, Yuki Judai got goosebumps and promptly rejected the title.

Yusei watched them from behind, arms crossed.

Judging from this, is Marufuji Sho planning to become Yuki Judai's underling?
