Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Just as Misawa Daichi was speechless at Yusei's reaction and was about to remind him, Yuki Jaden, rubbing his sleepy eyes, appeared behind Yusei and greeted him.

He yawned as he looked at the boy in front of him and asked him a question.

The sun has only just risen, you could easily go back to sleep... Do you, Si Ze Tian Kong, have nothing better to do?

"Jūdai, Yūsei! At your age, at your age... how do you manage to sleep?!"

Mimicking the tone of a certain advanced mathematics teacher, Daichi Misawa frowned and reprimanded the group of people before him for their decadent behavior: "You should know that you were chosen by the principal to be the guardians of the key! While enjoying this honor, you should always remember..."

"Alright, alright... just tell me why you're here!"

What the hell is this honor...?

Ever since I got this key, nothing good has happened!

He's either fighting or on his way to a duel, he can't even find time for a date, he's truly become a pathetic 996 worker...

Seeing that Misawa Daichi's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Yusei, whose forehead was covered in sweat, quickly waved his hand to interrupt him.

He worried that next, his friend would blurt out something like, "Don't you have any ambition?!"

If that were the case, Yusei wasn't sure if he would just give Yosawa Sora, that hot-blooded guy, a universally accepted friendly gesture and then close the door and see him out.

"Ahem... I'm here for a morning training session with you all, a duel to begin!"

"...Huh? Special training???"

"That's right!"

Raising his arm, Daichi Misawa began repeating the motion of drawing cards on the spot: "...1! 2! Draw a card! Don't just stand there watching, come and do the action with me!"

"Oh, oh, oh..." Infected by Daichi Misawa's involutionary mood, the two, feeling somewhat confused, quickly returned to their room and picked up their Duel Disks.

So, the four members of the Osiris Red Dorm, along with Misawa Daichi who had come here, began to do the confusing gacha gymnastics.

"...1, 2, draw a card!"

"1, 2... Draw a card..."

"1...2...Yawn~~~~"

Yusei, yawning repeatedly and appearing somewhat perfunctory, glanced at Marufuji Sho beside him out of the corner of his eye, trying to observe his reaction.

Like himself, Xiao Xiang was also very puzzled by Sanze Daichi's perplexing behavior today.

"Is Misawa... in heat today? Why is he so energetic? And he even came all the way here..."

Muttering a low complaint about the uninvited guest before him, Marufuji Sho listlessly drew the top card from his deck.

"...Oh? It's actually the [Thunder Goddess]!"

Seeing the card that Marufuji Sho drew from his deck, Yusei raised an eyebrow and uttered a questioning sound.

Well, kid...aren't you using the [Machine Deck]?

When did I get another sister card?

【Thunder Goddess】, just like her name suggests, possesses the same 1900 attack power as the founding member of the newspaper deck – 【Thunder King】.

However, unlike the powerful [Thunder King], the [Thunder Queen] card only has the effect of self-destruction, making it a card that is truly useless except for its artwork.

If Yusei hadn't seen her in Marufuji Sho's hands, he would have almost forgotten about the card's existence.

after all……

She's so obscure...

Compared to this card, even a meme king like [Lion Wizard] is considered a common card...

"Hehehe... Don't be surprised, this card is my idol's card! I even made room for it in a card slot just for her!"

With a perverted expression on his face, Marufuji Sho stopped drawing cards and began rubbing his face against the girl card: "Hehehe... [Thunder Goddess], my wife...hehehe (drooling)..."

"Awesome... As expected of you, Xiang!"

Seeing Marufuji Sho's audacious behavior, Yusei could only silently give him a thumbs up for his thick skin.

“Me too…me too!” Seeing Marufuji Sho’s self-disclosure, Maeda Hayato also took out a card from his deck and showed it to everyone.

-

Dean Kate, the God of Healing

(Normal Spell Card)

Effect: Restores 1000 LP to yourself.

The image above the card depicts a female version of Maitreya Buddha, with green curly hair, holding a cross, and possessing a Renaissance-style appearance...

That overly plump, or rather, bloated body... made it difficult to even determine its gender for a moment, whether it was male or female...

Well, it's quite weird.

"Ah... Hayato, your taste is really unique."

It's not appropriate to comment on other people's preferences, so Yusei could only give an ambiguous answer.

Well, compared to Koala's values, Xiao Xiang is definitely a normal person!

"I put this card in my deck because it always reminds me of my mom in the countryside."

With a simple, honest smile, Hayato's gaze at the card also carried a hint of nostalgia.

Ah... I've been away from home for so long, I miss the food at home so much!

"Big brother, Yusei, you guys must have some cards you like too! Show them to us..."

Marufuji Sho spoke to the two people who were looking at him curiously.

He was indeed quite interested in the cards that Yusei and Jaden Yuki liked.

"Of course, I definitely have cards I like too!"

With a bright smile, Jaden Yuki unsurprisingly pulled out the [Elemental HERO Flame Wingman] card, the Sky Hero that's designed to kill monsters with an attack power of 3000!

Neither the colossal machinery of the Middle Ages nor the legendary dragon capable of crushing everything could stand a chance against the Flame Winged Man, who was empowered by the "illegal construction" effect!

"Yusei, what about you?"

"my words……"

After stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, Yusei silently took out a... stack of cards from his deck.

【Spherical Chestnut Ball】, 【Masked Hero - Dark Claw】, 【MeMeMeGirl】, 【Ultra-Hero - Chaos Knight】, 【No.39 Hope Emperor Hope】, 【Future No.0 Future Dragon Emperor Hope】, 【Hero Champion Shining Sword King】, 【No.86 Hero Champion Annihilation Gun King】, 【Destiny Hero Destroyer Phoenix Man】, 【Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight】, 【Sky Thunder Ace Zeus】...

Everyone: "..."

As Yusei pulled out the multiple cards, the sound of swallowing saliva began to echo in the room.

The first few cards were relatively normal.

Yusei had used it to varying degrees in previous duels.

But what came after that...

What kind of weird and wonderful things are these?!

Girl cards, mechs, and dragons... This deck has all the elements... Is this really a hero deck?

【Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight】...Why is there a Yugi-sensei card in your deck, Yusei?!

And that image of the Phoenix Man of Destruction that looks so eerie...

That arrogant look of fearlessness, disregard for everything, and determination to trample all things underfoot... it's obviously not a proper monster card!

"Hey! You guys! Why are you all suddenly chatting like this?!"

Feeling ignored, Misawa Daichi angrily asserted his presence: "Do you really think you can defeat those dark duelists from Seven Stars with such a relaxed attitude?"

"But……"

Scratching his head, Jaden Yuki asked with some confusion, "Yusei... he's already defeated two of the Seven Stars, hasn't he? Doesn't that seem contradictory according to your statement?"

"This……"

Speechless after being unintentionally retorted, Daichi Misawa opened his mouth as if to say something.

But in the end, he couldn't say anything.

Even someone as strict as him had to admit one thing.

Unlike those slackers who only talk big, Yusei... truly stood bravely in the front line against the Seven Stars and won the Dark Duel one after another!

"In short... if you're seriously building a deck, you shouldn't include those unnecessary cards!"

Facing the direction of Marufuji Sho and Maeda Hayato, Misawa Daichi stretched out his arm and loudly expressed his thoughts.

As for why I didn't say that to Yusei and Jaden Yuki...

That's because those two... are simply not at my level and I'm not qualified to give them guidance...

They're just better at cards than you, and they also have all sorts of identities and qualities that you can only envy...

What can he do...? Misawa Daichi is desperate too!

There are only seven keys to the Seven Star Gate, and he happened to be the eighth candidate... but the guardian's spot was snatched away by the lazy Daitokuji-sensei...

Can anyone truly understand the regret of missing out on a great opportunity?

"But... having this kind of card can be comforting when facing a crisis, right?"

Waving the [Thunder Goddess] in his hand, Marufuji Sho still had a relaxed expression on his face.

Clearly, he did not take Misawa Daichi's opinion to heart.

He didn't care about the strength of the deck, or rather... he didn't care that much.

If he had to choose between a pretty female card and a powerful ugly card (like a certain android), he would definitely choose the female card with his eyes closed.
