Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

White Dragon... not bad at all~~~

Kisara... my Kisara... hehehe... hehehehe...

Reflecting on the previously "paid" content, the slightly bewildered expression on President Kaiba's face gradually eased due to his sudden illness.

"Hmm... Madam, cough cough... has been frequently visiting Miss Tiangong lately... Ever since they cooperated to eliminate the henchmen of Longyuan and Death Prison Village, they've been getting together quite often lately..."

Observing the seahorse's changing expression, Isono wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and reported.

As Kaiba's confidant, bodyguard, and... he knew Kaiba's personality all too well.

Who would have thought that this aloof young master, who disliked everyone, would turn into such a fiercely protective husband...

Regarding Kisara's matter, this serious and aloof company president was a completely biased referee, wanting nothing more than to stuff the best things into her hands.

She was extremely strict about her living environment and social relationships, fearing that some fool might come along and corrupt her pure heart.

"...The Heavenly Palace Knot, is that right? I understand."

The image of a beautiful black-haired, red-eyed female club president appeared in his mind. After a brief moment of thought, Seto Kaiba continued to speak to Isono: "Then, please tell Kisara that I plan to go to Duel Academy soon, and tell her to prepare as soon as possible so that we can go together!"

Without consulting the other party's opinion or having any plans in that regard, the seahorse made this decision on its own, which can be described as willful.

This kind of personality does indeed fit Seto Kaiba's previous image as a spoiled and arrogant young man.

He looked at everyone with a defiant expression, and he was especially persistent in harassing his opponents who had defeated him, even to the point of wanting to dig up their graves...

(A certain pharaoh is furious!)

Even though nearly ten years have passed since that decisive battle with Fang Kaishin, Seto Kaiba still retains some of the arrogance he had back then.

"Okay...I'll get right on it!"

He bid on a commemorative card of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and informed his wife of her business trip.

Having received the mission, Isono adjusted his dark sunglasses, saluted Kaiba, and struck a professional pose.

President, please feel free to leave it to me! I'll be right back!

"Well, you go."

He waved to Isono, then turned and stood at the edge of the room, looking out the window on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling glass.

A few months ago, he witnessed an interesting duel here.

That interesting duel was an internal battle between hero decks.

The two duelists were Yuki Jaden and Yusei, both freshmen at the Duel Academy.

"Magnificent Hero, Flame Wingman, Friend Hero, Skyscraper Impact, Back and Forth, Return the Money..."

"If I wasn't mistaken back then, you two would have been future supernovas..."

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and his gaze was cast into the distant distance. It seemed that President Kaiba was gradually becoming more and more like a playful person, and he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment from raising a child: "Tsk~ I'm really looking forward to... your growth!"

"I just hope... this trip to the Duel Academy won't disappoint me!"

[Note: This chapter's timeline is around chapter 353 of the main text. At this point in time, You is dueling with Camilla, the second member of the Seven Stars.]

[Because the perspective is from the president's point of view, which is at a parallel point in time with the protagonist, it's not convenient to post it directly in the main text, so it's presented as a separate side story.]

353 All-in on skateboarding, blocked 5 passes! (5K)

There are two fragments of the disc, belonging to Tenjouin Fubuki and Yusei, who passed the trial of the royal tomb in another world one after the other.

One of the holders of the Dark Item Fragment, Tenjouin Fubuki, is currently in an unstable state where she needs to rest and may fall into a coma again at any time, making her unable to participate in the battle.

That leaves only Yusei, the holder of the other half of the fragment, who has yet to suffer a defeat.

"……understood."

Seeing that everyone's gaze was drawn to him as Yuki Jaden made his move, Yusei didn't refuse too much. Instead, he took the other half of the disc from Asuka's hand and hung it around his neck.

In this way, Yusei now has three ornaments on his chest: two fragments of a disc and a key to the Seven Star Gate.

"Hmm... I think when you encounter danger, these fragments will combine into one and help you..."

Looking at Yusei with an admiring gaze, Tenjouin Fubuki had full confidence in the duelist who had defeated her.

Go, Yusei!

Let that Camus guy see the shining glory of a hero!

"Then, I'll go!"

A surge of emotion welled up within him. After nodding, Yusei turned and left the room, embarking alone on the road leading to the castle.

As his brother-in-law Fubuki said, the two fragments will merge into one at the right time to help him.

In that case, there would be no need to worry about the influence of the Illusionary Demon Gate.

Camilla, your end is nigh! Tonight, let's settle everything!

……

"I've arrived, Camilla!"

Stepping across the red carpet and standing once again before the castle gates, Yusei glanced at the crowd that had followed him out of the corner of his eye, and shouted the declaration of war into the castle.

"Heh...you little brats, you really dare to come!"

Not long after Caesar was "defeated," Camilla watched through the familiar's vision as the group returned and walked towards her. A mocking look flashed across Camilla's face: "Even the strongest Caesar... was defeated by me. What kind of waves can you weaklings, whose information I already know, make?"

"Hehehe... To praise your courage, I'll turn you into a cute doll too!"

Raising his arm to point at Yusei approaching from the end of the road, Camilla's face radiated unparalleled confidence.

"Hmph! Enough said... I will fulfill Caesar's regret!" With a righteous expression on his face, Yusei waved goodbye to everyone and resolutely walked to the other side of the platform.

The spot where Caesar once stood.

"Master...that woman over there is no match for you, right? Why are you acting so serious?" In her inner world, the girl asked Yusei telepathically.

Clearly, their strengths are not even in the same league.

With Yusei's strength, he could take down this arrogant vampire in no time.

However, Yusei displayed a serious expression as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Cough cough..."

Subtly touching the tip of his nose, Yusei glanced at Asuka and the others in the distance and secretly transmitted his thoughts to her: "Well... if I win too easily now, what will happen if they all leave the work to me in the future? Are they expecting me to single-handedly defeat the Seven Star King?"

"But...the way you are right now, isn't that basically soloing?"

"..."

"...Even Fubuki, who was possessed, has extremely high expectations for you!"

"Ah...that's true..."

Scratching his head, Yu Xing couldn't help but sweat a bead on his forehead.

It seems... that's really the case.

Ugh! My grand plan to slack off... looks like it's doomed!

Since that's the case, why should I pretend anymore?

"Let's duel... Let's finish this quickly!"

With his hands on his hips, Yusei performed a lightning-fast face-changing act, then arrogantly raised his head towards Camilla.

"???"

Seeing the boy opposite him suddenly change his expression and look down at him with his nostrils, Camilla's expression immediately became one of astonishment.

What's going on? Why is this kid suddenly acting all high and mighty? Is he looking down on me?

"Uh... what is Yusei doing? Why is he suddenly looking down his nose at people? Doesn't he hate this kind of superior attitude the most?"

"I don't know... maybe... it's mocking Camilla?"

"you sure?"

"Uh, I guessed..."

Seeing Yusei's attitude, a row of question marks appeared on the heads of the onlookers.

Could it be that Yusei has suddenly developed chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) due to excessive pressure?

This is a dark duel where lives are at stake!

Yusei... good brother... can you please be serious?!

If even you fail, then we're really doomed!

"I think... Yusei must have absolute confidence that he can win, which is why he did this."

Asuka's gaze towards Yusei did not carry the same doubt as others.

Having complete confidence in Yusei, she naturally didn't think that Yusei was having a mental breakdown, deliberately belittling his opponent, or becoming careless due to arrogance.

There must be a reason why he did this.

Asuka firmly believed this in her heart.

"Hmph...A duel!"

A little annoyed by Yusei's attitude, Camilla impatiently raised the Duel Disk in her hand.

I know all the intelligence now, so be smug!

Watch me beat you to a pulp!

"duel."
