Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Mr. Manjoume... has started!

"Yusei..." Asuka, who had walked up to Yuusei, couldn't help but show a worried expression as she saw Yuusei seemingly heading to a dangerous place.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

He smiled at Asuka and, when no one was looking, secretly reached out and squeezed her little hand.

Seeing Asuka's pretty face blushing slightly from the intimate gesture, Yusei couldn't resist and secretly gave her a light peck.

Asuka: "...!!!"

You've been taking the initiative all along; it's time to reverse the roles this time!

They could separate instantly, ensuring that no one else noticed.

After completing this surprise attack, he quickened his pace and set off with Jaden Yuki, following behind Manjoume, while also escaping the bewildered and embarrassed gaze of Asuka...

"Hehehe..."

Master Daitokuji, who had witnessed everything, looked at Yusei, who thought he had successfully deceived everyone, and couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.

……

"Hmm... I never imagined that I, Mr. Manjoume, would actually be entangled with the fate of Duel Academy one day..."

Walking along the forest path, Manjou hummed an unknown song cheerfully.

Unaware that his dream goddess, Tenjōin Asuka, had already been licked several times by Yusei, Manjōme gazed at the boundless emerald green surrounding him and couldn't help but sigh.

The journey of life is full of ups and downs.

One second he was the rising star of Duel Academy, but the next he fell from grace due to a series of defeats and became a hated dog.

After that, he left the Duel Academy without hesitation and embarked on the path of cultivation... and then returned as a king surrounded by everyone!

Now, the fate of Duel Academy rests on his shoulders...

For a moment, Manjoume even seemed to possess an aura that surpassed Yusei's...

This is definitely the treatment of a main character!

"Why did you guys follow me here?" Manjoume asked with a hint of helplessness, looking at Yusei and Judai who were leisurely following behind him.

The questions I didn't have a chance to ask earlier because I was surrounded by people can now be asked frankly.

"Well... let Judai answer that!"

Yusei tossed the question about Manjou's goal to Judai Yuki, who was standing next to him with his head turned back, looking around excitedly.

After all, he couldn't just tell Manjoume that he also wanted to come and see if he could find any interesting cards, could he?

If Yusei really said that, then Manjoume would definitely look at him speechlessly and then raise his question: "Yusei...aren't you playing a hero deck? What's the use of these junk cards? Where are your heroes?"

No, no!

You don't understand, do you, Manjoume?

Just because a card has zero attack power doesn't mean it's weak! It all depends on how you use it.

Besides, a deck with only one HERO monster can still be called a HERO!

Just like...

[Branded Death Prison Village Summoning Beast Shaddoll God Generation Hope Sword King Dragon God Shark Cake Frog Demon Bell Cave Great Universe Aeus... Heroes] and so on...

You could also call it a hero deck! (laughs)

"Is that even a question? Manjoume! It's because you're now bound to Duel Academy! Protecting you from the evil spirits is essentially protecting the fate of Duel Academy, isn't it?"

Faced with the question from Manjoume, Jaden Yuki gave an incredibly reasonable and seemingly self-evident reason.

This would not only protect Manjoume's personal safety, but also provide an opportunity for him, Yusei, and Manjoume to embark on a trio jungle adventure...

Such a great opportunity is rare!

"Hehehe... What nonsense are you talking about! How could there really be such a thing as an evil spirit..."

Upon hearing Judai's answer, Manjoume, a staunch materialist, couldn't help but smile.

Even after witnessing the existence of Duel Spirits firsthand, Manjoume still refused to acknowledge the facts of these unscientific phenomena.

--call!

Shortly after Manjoume uttered his words, white phantoms floated past his eyes and began to hover above everyone's heads.

"Holy crap! It really appeared! A ghost!"

Suddenly caught off guard, Wan Zhangmu stopped in his tracks in shock and looked around in a panic.

"This flag that was raised... really came true immediately!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than ghosts appeared, making Yusei wonder if Manjoume was some old general on a theatrical stage, covered in flags... to the point that even these unfamiliar ghosts began to subconsciously cooperate with his performance...

"Manjoume, so you can see the existence of the card spirits too!" From Manjoume's flustered reaction, Jaden Yuki realized an important message.

Even the ghosts and grudges of Duel Monsters are only visible to a very small number of people.

Ordinary people might only hear a few ghostly wails or feel a strange wind in this dark place.

Banjou's reaction was enough to prove that he was a special being just like Yusei and himself!

"Let's talk about these boring things later, they're about to attack!"

Looking at the white phantom hovering above them, Wan Zhangmu gradually regained his composure, instinctively lowering his body to prepare for the upcoming impact.

"Huh? Oh oh oh..." Seeing Manjoume assume a defensive stance, Yuki Judai followed suit, covering his chest with his arms.

"I think... there's really no need to worry too much."

Amused by their reactions, Yusei calmly explained, "These guys are all abandoned monsters with zero attack power... Even if they do nothing, without any attack power, they can't harm us, right?"

The white swarm of ghosts swept past them, piercing through their bodies in one fell swoop!

However... just as Yusei had predicted, the ghosts' attacks did not cause them any harm.

"..."

"..."

Upon hearing Yusei's words and realizing that they were not seriously injured, the two looked at each other awkwardly and lowered their arms...

366 Memories of Evil Hearts

To be the protagonist, one should possess the following elements.

A tragic background (such as an orphan who lost both parents).

An indomitable spirit (My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young... cough cough cough, wrong play...)

And, a powerful cheat ability (like a beautiful older sister sleeping in a ring, etc.)...

These days, if the protagonist isn't omnipotent, if they've had a good time for a while, if no one keeps bothering them, if they don't have any lucky encounters or cheat codes like a system wife on their path to power...

They were all a little embarrassed to call themselves the main characters.

As for our Mr. You, although he doesn't possess all of the above qualities...

They didn't come with any cheat codes or have any system to rely on when they transmigrated.

However, he is indeed a transmigrator from another world, possessing knowledge and cards several generations ahead of his time, as well as the help of another version of himself.

Therefore, up to now.

Even without the protagonist's halo, Jaden's guaranteed lucky draw, Kani's Red Dragon blessing, the leader's flashy draw, Tomato's multi-stage transformation, or the author's on-the-spot card printing... such overpowered abilities.

He, You, did not encounter any insurmountable obstacles.

With this advanced experience, Yusei not only didn't fade into obscurity, but instead, after overwhelming the original main characters one by one with his strength, he replaced Jaden Yuki and stood at the forefront of the fight against the forces of darkness...

Its role is almost that of a guide for the main characters.

His brilliant performance gave people a feeling that—

If you encounter any problems or troubles that you can't solve, summoning the Wandering Star Warrior is the way to go! They'll guarantee to resolve them to your satisfaction!

What? The boss has come knocking on our door?

It doesn't matter!

Someone come here! Close the gate and let out Jaden... cough cough, I mean Yusei!

……

In conclusion, after experiencing numerous events, people will humbly listen to and accept Mr. You's opinions and words.

Even a troublemaker like Manjoume, who was initially completely at odds with the young master, now regards Yusei as a lifelong rival and formidable enemy!

After all, putting aside other aspects, his dueling skills are indeed genuinely strong!

……

"Ha... Following the direction the ghosts came from, we finally found this well!"

After being tricked by the ghosts, Manjou's face showed a visible look of embarrassment.

As if to cover up his embarrassment, he immediately strode towards the source of the ghost.

Then, he unexpectedly discovered the dry well that the teacher from Daitokuji Temple had mentioned.

Strictly speaking, it's a large pit deep in the forest, surrounded by scattered bluish-gray pebbles...

"Hmm... at this depth, the ladder is just the right length."

After throwing the nearby pebbles into the well and roughly estimating its depth, Yusei threw the rope ladder he had brought into the well. Then, he and Yuki Jaden bent down and began to secure the other end of the ladder.

Wan Zhangmu, who was watching the two from the side, clicked his tongue, then took out three flashlights from his backpack and handed two of them to the two people next to him.

Although he said some arrogant things, Manjoume did indeed prepare portions for Yusei and the others.
