Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Among the cards currently used by Yusei, the best card should be Friend Hero - [Masked Hero Dark Claw]. This card is a precious card that he obtained by accident in the dream world, and it is something that he would never give away to anyone else.

059 Young man, where does your confidence come from?

The [Kuriboh] card that Tengu Yu gave to Yusei was a very useful and versatile hand trap. It also contained a Duel Spirit, making it one of the rarest types of cards.

Despite the value of the card, Ms. Yu chose to give it to Yusei for free. In her words, it was the Duel Monster that chose Yusei.

That's what they say, but the only people who would actually be willing to give such a card to someone else, besides Yui, are Yugi Muto, who gave it to Jaden Yuki [Winged Kuriboh].

"Hehe, this is finally starting to get interesting." Jaden Yuki saw the message from Manjoume and his heart began to burn.

"Is this guy... mentally challenged?" Yusei looked at the arrogant Manjoume, stroked his chin, and said uncertainly.

There aren't many duelists in this academy who he finds worthy of his attention. He really doesn't know where this weakling Manjoume gets his confidence from, thinking he can defeat Yusei.

"What should we do? Do we really have to go?" Marufuji Sho looked at Yusei, wanting to get his opinion.

“They’ve already offered to deliver it, so why wouldn’t we go?” Youxing said decisively.

A kind-hearted person has come to give away rare cards; it's a good opportunity not to miss it.

What? You're asking what happens if you lose?

That kind of thing is absolutely impossible, at least not in the duel between Yusei and Manjoume.

Hayato, who was lying on the bed like a corpse, turned his head to look at the enthusiastic Jaden Yuki and the smirking Yusei, but what he was thinking about was their tragic fate later on.

"Your good spirits have come to an end in your duel with the elites of Obelisk Blue..." Hayato muttered to himself, staring at the ceiling.

……

...

Time flew by and it was already late at night; it was almost midnight before the duel with Manjoume.

Having decided to keep the appointment, Yusei naturally planned to leave early to avoid being late, lest the other party think he was afraid to come.

Manjou's challenge targets are Yusei and his two companions, meaning that any of the three of them can go and duel with him.

Marufuji Sho was initially reluctant, but as Yuki Judai's follower, he felt left behind after Yusei and Yuki Judai slipped out of the dormitory first, so he couldn't help but follow in their footsteps.

Under the moonlight, Yusei and his two companions set off towards the academy.

Security guards patrol the area at night, so please be aware.

The three of them sneaked out, and naturally no one noticed except for Hayato, who shared a dorm room with them.

At that moment, the three of them entered the Duel Academy and headed to the dueling arena they had visited during the day.

"Big brother, didn't Asuka say not to fight them?" Marufuji Sho walked at the back of the group. He remembered Tenjouin Asuka's advice during the day and said somewhat timidly.

"What are you talking about? This is a duel!"

"If you're challenged, you have to accept it. That's what a real man should do!" Judai Yuki turned to look at his good-for-nothing underling and encouraged him.

“But…” Marufuji Sho was still a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, I'll go first. If all goes well, you guys won't have a chance to play." Yusei, who was walking at the front of the group, waved to Yuki Judai and Marufuji Sho behind him, indicating that everything was under his control.

Having already walked the route once during the day, Yusei had memorized it then, so coming back now was much easier.

Because the message from Manjou was sent to Yusei's device, Yusei was automatically made the first person to engage in a duel.

Led by Yusei, the three of them quickly arrived at the venue.

Meanwhile, Manjoume and his two henchmen had been waiting for quite some time. They stood in the center of the dueling arena, looking down at the three who had come to challenge them.

"You actually came!"

"I should commend you for not running away!"

Manjoume crossed his arms and spoke with a confident tone.

On his left hand, you can see a blue and white duel disk, which means it is Obelisk Blue's duel disk.

However, the Duel Disk in his hand is naturally no match for the custom-made Duel Disk in Yusei's hand. Whether it is appearance or practicality (referring to its ability to be used as a weapon), the Duel Disk that Ria gave him completely surpasses the mass-produced one in Manjoume's hand.

Prior to this, Yusei had already received the Osiris Red mass-produced red and white Duel Disk from the school, but he had kept it in his dormitory cabinet and hadn't taken it out to use.

"Heh~ You bunch of bad students, do you really think you can be a match for Lord Manjoume?" Boy A next to Manjoume pointed at the three people standing at the entrance and said with some disdain.

"That's right, that's right. You were lucky during the day that the upper courtyard came to bother you. Now it's too late for you to run away!" Boy B said that this is the death knell for you bunch of bad students.

"Well, if you're willing to admit your defeat and obediently hand over your best cards, I might consider letting you go." Manjoume shrugged, his face still showing a mocking expression.

"Are you dreaming about peaches?" Yusei thought to himself, "You idiot, you're just daydreaming."

"Having received a challenge to a duel, there's no reason not to come," Jaden Yuki said frankly. "Now that I'm here, there's no reason to admit defeat. Once the duel actually begins, who knows who will win or lose?"

"...I hope you'll still have that confidence by then!" Manjoume clicked his tongue, feeling somewhat annoyed by the two's resistance.

Marufuji Sho, who had been hiding behind the two of them and adopting a timid and hesitant posture since the beginning, was completely ignored by him.

This kind of person is not worthy of being his opponent.

Indeed, that was the case. If Yusei and Jaden Yuki hadn't been facing off against the pressure from Manjoume and the other two, Marufuji Sho would have really surrendered by handing over his cards...

"Any of the three of you can go."

"If you're scared, you can all come at me!"

"As mentioned before, the loser must give their best card to the winner. There's no objection to that, right?" Manjoume stood on one side of the dueling arena, indicating that the duel could begin at any time.

He crossed his arms over his chest, striking an extremely arrogant pose, and spoke shamelessly.

"I have no problem." As agreed beforehand, Yusei was the first to appear. He walked to the other side of the dueling arena platform and looked at Manjoume from afar.

Yuki Judai and Marufuji Sho chose to stand behind Yusei, watching the two on the field.

Both Manjoume and Yusei saw intense confidence in each other's faces, and the duel began amidst their fiercely clashing gazes.

When the duel began, Manjoume's two henchmen also came to the stands behind him, intending to watch the brutal killing show starring Obelisk Blue's elite No. 1 first-year student.

What they didn't know was that their leader, Jun Manjou, would soon face an incredibly powerful and cunning opponent...

"You're using a Hero deck, right? Let me see your strength, whether you're as strong as the rumors say." Manjoume said, pointing at Yusei.

"You know my deck composition?" Yusei looked puzzled, but he quickly remembered that he had dueled with Jaden Yuki at Kaiba Park before.

The information about the deck was probably leaked by one of the freshmen who was present at the time.

It seems that Manjoume was not idle during the daytime and also gathered some information about Yusei.

In this era, there was no advanced online media, so although the duel between Yusei and Jaden Yuki was witnessed by many new students, only the parties involved knew the specific details.

All Manjoume knew was that the confident-looking Yusei was the duelist who had defeated Jaden Yuki using the [Hero] deck.

Jaden Yuki, on the other hand, relied on luck to defeat Professor Kunonos, the dark horse, in the entrance exam.

In other words, as long as I can defeat Yusei on the other side, I will become the true number one in the first year!

"Hehehehe..." Thinking of his bright future, Manjou couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.

Yusei heard Manjoume's laughter and began to have some doubts.

Manjoume, are you a villain who traveled from a fantasy novel? Even your laughter is so unique.

"Stop laughing, let me see what kind of strength the elites of Duel Academy have!" Yusei couldn't help but interrupt Manjoume, who was daydreaming, and reminded him to start the duel quickly.

"I know without you saying it!" Manjoume put away his smile and held the Duel Disk in front of him.

"duel!"

!]【}&

"duel!"

As Yusei and Manjoume spoke at the same time, the Duel Disk began to assemble itself.

Then, both players simultaneously drew 5 cards from their decks.

"First! It's my turn!" Manjoume declared before Yusei could, eager to teach the guy in front of him a lesson.

"Do as you please." Elemental HERO decks are all about burst damage, while Yusei, who uses HERO decks, would love to go second.

"Draw a card!"

Manjoume drew a card from his deck and added it to his hand.

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime rules, the player who goes first can draw a card on their first turn.

"I summon a Regenerating Zombie (Undead/Dark/4-star/Attack 1000/Defense 1600) in Defense mode!"

"Next, place another card in ambush, end the turn...!"

Just as Manjoume was about to end his turn, Yusei kindly reminded him, "I advise you not to rush to end your turn. Go all out first, really!"

"I have my own plans! You don't need to worry about them!"

"I have already calculated the tactics for my duel!"

"Obelisk Blue versus Osiris Red—the difference in their intellect has already determined the outcome!"

"My turn is over! It's your turn!"

Manjoume ignored Yusei's suggestion, stating that he had already come up with a strategy.

In his view, while luck plays a role in duels, the outcome still depends on precise calculations.

"A duel isn't about precise calculations, but about a passionate heart!" Jaden Yuki retorted from the audience, contradicting Joume's words.

"A bad student is a bad student. Everything depends on luck. You were able to defeat Professor Chronos, probably just because you were lucky that day." Manjoume shrugged, completely disagreeing with Judai's statement.
