Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

With a smile playing on his lips, and striking a villainous pose, Manjoume slowly said, "Although its attack power is 0 on its stat sheet, the attack power of the [Chaos Necromancer] will be increased by 300 times the number of monsters in my graveyard after it is summoned!"

This effect is a continuous effect and does not enter a chain, therefore it cannot be chained by various card effects.

"What... So you mean... you deliberately destroyed those three monsters all for this moment?"

“That’s right! After sending those three disruptive monsters to the graveyard, there are now a total of 11 monsters in my graveyard…”

"In other words, the Chaos Necromancer's attack power will also increase to 3300 points due to its own effect!!!"

You can't use monster cards with an attack power of 500 or higher, but that doesn't mean you can't let them go high!

My foolish older brother... Now it's your turn to reap what you sow!

One after another, green fireballs enveloping the monsters appeared in the sky above the dueling arena as Manjou's words fell.

These ghostly fireballs, appearing one after another like stars, were attracted by some force and eventually converged into the body of the Chaos Necromancer, causing a dramatic change in his attributes...

From being a weakling, it skyrocketed to a legendary level, surpassing even the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

(【Chaos Necromancer】Attack Power: 0→3300)

"...Here it comes! [Chaos Necromancer] launches a direct attack on Manjoume Nagasaku—Necromancer Mask Wave!!!"

The regrets of his companions, the unfulfilled dreams, and the hatred of being abandoned...

All emotions and resentment merged into one at this moment, transforming into an energy wave in the hand of the Chaos Necromancer, which rushed straight towards the location of the ten-thousand-foot-long eye!

"How could this be?! How could this happen?! I can't accept this!!!"

Realizing that he was about to be defeated, Manjou no Nagasaku let out a final shout from the depths of his throat.

However, in the next instant... he was engulfed by the energy wave formed by the horde of monsters, losing all his health points, and painfully collapsed to his knees, meeting his final defeat...

(Manjou no Nagatoshi's LP: 3100→0)

(Winner: Manjoume Lightning!)

that's it……

This brotherly battle, which staked the fate of Duel Academy, ended in a resounding victory for Manjoume Reinhardt!

The ambitions of the Manjoume brothers have been thwarted once again.

This time, it was their younger brother who did it himself!

"Oh oh ...

"...We did it! We won!"

"Great job, Manjoume!!! Well done!!!"

"Manjoume! Manjoume! Manjoume...!!!"

A deafening roar of cheers erupted as the victory was achieved.

Seeing Manjou's brilliant performance, the onlookers, regardless of their previous thoughts, all expressed their heartfelt admiration and longing.

No! My name is—

Stretching out his arm to the cheering crowd, the radiant Wan Zhangmu raised his fist and declared loudly, "One!"

"Ten!" Yusei and the others stood up and applauded their partner's wonderful performance.

"One hundred!" Teacher Daitokuji, Principal Samejima, and Professor Chronos, who seemed to have undergone some kind of change, burst into enthusiastic applause.

"Thousand!" Countless voices converged, pushing this victory to its climax.

"Manjōme—Lightning!!!"

This time, almost the entire audience shouted out the resounding name of Wan Zhangmu.

"...Lightning! Lightning! Lightning!!!" Responding to each other's shouts, the name of Manjoume Lightning echoed like thunder in the empty dueling arena.

At least for this moment, Manjoume was undoubtedly the center of attention!

"Brother, are you alright...?"

Supporting Manjoume Nagatsu's body, the second brother, Manjoume Masashi, immediately revealed a look of resentment: "That bastard... how dare he do such a thing to us! Humph! I will definitely find a chance to get revenge on him!!!"

"...Forget it, Shoji!"

Waving his hand to interrupt his younger brother's thoughts of revenge, Manjoume Nagasaku clutched his chest and turned to look at Manjoume Inazuma, who was now surrounded by many gazes: "Can't you see? The current..."

"Hey?"

Hearing his older brother's slightly tired voice, Manjoume Masaji couldn't help but raise his head and look in the direction of his "good-for-nothing" younger brother, Manjoume Jun (Lightning).

At this moment, he had become the focus of many eyes and the center of countless people.

Compared to those two brothers, she was countless times more dazzling...

“That guy… he’s been growing rapidly, just as we expected!” Shaking his head slightly, Manjoume Nagasaku couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh: “Perhaps… we’re the ones with the narrow vision, who knows!”

"Big brother..."

Looking at his older brother, Manjoume Masaji fell into a speechless silence.

As the eldest brother said, that good-for-nothing younger brother had grown up rapidly without their knowledge, leaving them far behind.

Presumably... when Kaiba's president hears the result, he'll say something like, "I don't need this kind of boring report. His victory is only natural!"

……

As previously agreed, after losing the duel, the Manjoume brothers abandoned their malicious acquisition plan and left the Duel Academy by helicopter.

This time, however, unlike last time, they didn't show a look of regret mixed with resentment, leaving behind harsh words like "Just you wait! We'll definitely be back!" Instead, they patted Manjoume on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction, signaling him to do his best, and then waved goodbye, leaving Manjoume completely bewildered...

In short, a sudden acquisition crisis came to a dramatic and successful end.

And Manjoume himself finally managed to use this opportunity to rebuild his status and prestige in the Duel Academy.

He is no longer that rootless duckweed from the north...

……

That night, in the Osiris Red Dormitory.

Having recovered from the daytime's glory, Manjou looked at the large group of spirits floating around the room and couldn't help but put on a stern face.

Looking back, the whole incident started with him complaining that the room was too small.

However, now that the incident is over, Mr. Manjoume's room has not become more spacious; on the contrary, it has become even more crowded than before...

Originally, there was only one [Disruptive Yellow] that was getting in the way, but now there's a whole bunch of other Pokémon...

Disruptive Black, Disruptive Green, Soul Tiger, Unfortunate Girl, Breeze Fairy...

"...Shut up! How long are you guys planning to stay here???"

Watching his dormitory gradually turn into a playground for the elves, Manjoume, the room's owner, couldn't help but shout out his thoughts.

"What does it matter? Even if it's a monster with zero attack power, we're still useful!"

"Yes, yes! Didn't you say that yourself, Brother Manjoume? You already know that we're not entirely useless, right?"

"Hehehe... I know, big brother, you're just all bark and no bite. You say you hate us, but you're actually really reluctant to part with us..."

"Waaaah... We really love our tsundere older brother!"

"Meow meow meow (That's right!)~~~!!!"

……

A cacophony of voices echoed in Wan Zhangmu's ears.

This caused his expression to begin to fluctuate uncontrollably.

"Aaaaaah!!! The room is already small enough! And you guys are squeezing in even more... Are you kidding me! Get out of here!!!"

That thief is huge (why)...

Yusei and Jaden Yuki, both Spirit Users, have such adorable and considerate Spirits... while I have to be with these guys with zero attack power...

Ahhhhh!!! I'm so envious!!! I want my own Kuriboh so bad!!!

The red dormitory of Osiris echoed with Manjoume's complaining voice at night...

371. How do you manage to sleep at your age?

As the sun rises, it marks another new day for Duel Academy.

Standing in front of Osiris Red's dormitory, Misawa Daichi, who hadn't shown his face for a long time and was almost forgotten, silently raised his Duel Disk towards the direction of Yusei and the others' dormitory, and then placed a card on it: "Summon [Left-Handed Pistol Dragon], and then... Fire!"

With a white flash, the metal dragon, its upper body adorned with three gun barrels, raised its cannon and, without hesitation, fired three fireballs at the dormitory in the target direction…

Although the attack did not cause any real damage to the building, the explosion generated by the 3D image was transmitted into the room, directly waking everyone who was still asleep.

"Hey! Which rude bastard is having a duel at the door so early in the morning?!"

The door to the room was opened from the inside, and Yusei, who was sleepy-eyed but looked angry, stormed out of the room.

I was just dreaming about the joy of growing up when someone woke me up...

Good grief, you're here to cause trouble so early in the morning instead of sleeping?

I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget...

"...Who are you again?"

Looking at the boy standing outside the door, wearing the yellow uniform of the sun god, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a smile on his face, Yusei couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Hmm... this face looks familiar...

Who was it again...?

Let me think about it...

"I'm……"

"Oh! It's Misawa! What are you doing so early in the morning instead of sleeping?"
