Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

448 Home

The legendary swordsman, wielding a forty-meter-long greatsword, was forced to depart for an unknown future before he could even display his full power, thanks to the impact of a next-generation laser cannon…

"What...what happened???"

Somewhat bewildered by the scene before them, the audience members were filled with questions: "Manjoume actually activated the monster banishment effect during Gokaido's turn, and even during the battle phase?!"

"Aaaaaaah...ah...no way...I can't accept this..."

Similar to the audience's reaction, after the aftershocks of the laser grazed his cheek, Gokaido's smile froze on his face, and he let out an incredulous shout.

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

I am the legendary Sword Saint, invincible under heaven!

With an attack power of up to 5700 points, it is enough to shatter stars and cleave the moon, slay gods and cause devastation...

How could it be solved so easily!

I can't accept this result!!! Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!

"Poor child, his defenses were breached just like that... He deliberately chose this exact moment to activate the effect just as he entered battle phase, Manjoume is really wicked~"

Yusei wiped his nose and made a teasing sound.

He had actually anticipated the current situation, so he didn't show as much surprise as the others.

The moment he saw ABC appear, he had already mentally sentenced the freshmen on the other side to death.

"Fifth-tier Hall, weren't you just mocking my deck for being full of trash? Well... then you'll taste the humiliation of being defeated by trash!"

Monsters were banished, and Equip Spell Cards were sent to the Graveyard one by one.

The Five Gates Hall Treasure Mountain is now completely empty.

The outcome was obvious and there was no suspense whatsoever.

"Back...end of round."

With his eyes vacant, Gokaido could only helplessly end his turn after listening to Manjou's speech.

"My turn, draw!" Holding the new card in his hand, Manjoume steadied himself and looked towards the location of the Fifth Hall: "As you said, the Osiris Red Dormitory is indeed not a good place."

"The dormitories are dilapidated, the food is terrible, the rooms are cramped, and the dormitory head is a lazy fat cat... and above all, the people here are all low-class scum."

Yusei & Jaden Yuki: "..."

"But!" The tone shifted abruptly, Wan Zhangmu's eyes widening suddenly: "Those guys taught me that there are always lower levels below! It was their existence that allowed me to see scenery that the towering elites could not!"

"...First fall into hell once, and then crawl out of there." Meeting Gokaido's eyes, Manjoume asked, "Can you do that?"

"Manjō Musang..."

"...Let's fight! Now, let's unleash a direct attack from [ABC-Dragon Annihilator]!"

As Manjoume spoke, the [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] also aimed its cannon at Gokaido.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the laser cannon, carrying an aura of destruction, took away the remaining life points of Fifth Hall and sent his body flying.

(Wujietang Baoshan LP: 600→0)

(Winner: Ten Thousand Eyes Lightning!)

"See? My efforts over the past year haven't been in vain! You think you can even reach my level? You'd never succeed even in a million years!!!"

"Gokaido, you are ultimately just the top student in the middle school division. Even Osiris Red's duelists are far superior to you!"

The merciless words came from the victorious Manjoume's mouth as he solemnly declared to Gokaido, who was struggling to his feet: "You have absolutely no right to look down on Osiris Red and trash cards!!!"

Gokaido: "Ugh—!!!"

The merciless words transformed into a sharp blade, piercing through the chest of the Fifth Prince in an instant.

As the loser, he not only tasted the bitterness of defeat but also endured verbal and mental torment.

"Listen up, the name of the one who defeated you is..."

Having said what he wanted to say, Manjoume began his final summary: "Ah!"

"ten!"

"Hundred!"

"thousand!"

"...Ten Thousand Eyes Lightning!!!"

"Oh my god! Manjoume, you actually love Osiris Red that much?!!!!"

Deeply moved by Manjou's determination, Yuki Judai, seeing the duel over, stood up from his seat, quickened his pace, rushed to Manjou on the stage, and then hugged him tightly.

Seeing Jaden Yuki's actions, the other Osiris Red students followed suit and rushed into the dueling arena, surrounding Manjoume.

"Damn it! That's not how it is!"

"Hey, hey, hey...don't lift me up!!! Listen to me, ahhhhh!!!"

The ten thousand eyes, lifted up like heroes by the red-clad Osiris, revealed an arrogant expression on its face.

While denying his previous statement, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"Manjoume... since you like Osiris Red so much, then we have no reason to separate you!"

With his hands behind his back, Professor Chronos approached the crowd and, seeing Manjoume being carried around like a star, turned around, raised the microphone, and loudly proclaimed to those around him: "Everyone! It seems that Manjoume should stay in Osiris Red!"

“That’s right!!!”

"What...what..."

"Hmm! The will of the entire crowd is one, Manjoume, just give up struggling~ Here you go!"

"Oh, what a reasonable and understanding professor!"

"No...wait...I..."

"Ahhhhh... That's great! Manjoume!"

"...Fuck you!"

Manjoume's faint voice of resistance was drowned out by the cheers of the crowd. Realizing that struggling was futile, he could only helplessly give up.

Thus, Manjoume's idea of ​​returning to Obelisk Blue once again came to nothing...

……

"I'll know after watching today's duel."

"What do you know?"

After the duel, in Professor Chronos's private office.

Having failed to achieve his initial goal, Coach Napoleon, who has chosen a star duelist to replace Ed Phoenix, is currently reviewing the day's events with Professor Chronos.

Playing with his mustache, Coach Napoleon cleared his throat and then spoke his opinion: "Ahem! I think... if we want to select stars from our academy, we must further promote elite education! For this... the first thing we should do is abolish the Osiris Red Dormitory, which is full of underachievers."

"Oh my god! The principal will definitely not agree to something this important!"

With a troubled expression, Professor Chronos immediately objected: "If we really do that, then it will be the two of us who have to pack our bags and get out!"

"Ugh!!! Nothing ventured, nothing gained? It's precisely because of this ambiguous attitude that you've failed so many times, Professor Chronos!"

"You guy..."

……

...

"Oh no! We have to go back and tell everyone this right away!" Marufuji Sho, who was secretly hiding outside the door, turned pale as soon as he heard the two of them talking loudly.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, he immediately mustered all his strength and rushed back to Osiris Red's dormitory to inform Yusei and Jaden Yuki of the news.

"What? Osiris Red is going to be demolished?"

"No way... Didn't Manjoume win? Why is he suddenly saying he wants to abolish our dormitory?"

Upon hearing the news from the panting Sho Maru, Yusei and Jaden Yuki exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of doubt.

After President Kaiba stopped taking charge and Chairman Kagemaru went back to lie around doing nothing.

If the dormitories are to be demolished, wouldn't it require the approval of the principal, who is currently the highest-ranking official in charge?

Principal Samejima had some matters to attend to and took a long leave of absence from Duel Academy. It was clear that Tengu Yu, who was currently serving as the acting principal, would not allow his two subordinates to make decisions on their own.

Even if this were true, it was probably just a decision made privately by Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon.

"I can't believe it either... but it's true, I've heard it..."

With his arms crossed, Marufuji Sho looked completely bewildered: "Speaking of which, if the Red Dormitory really gets abolished, what will happen to us?"

"How is it? How is it?" Unable to understand Marufuji Sho's thoughts for a moment, Yusei couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I mean... is it possible... that after the dorms are demolished, we can use that opportunity to upgrade to the higher-level Sun God Yellow? The environment there is much better than here!"

Scratching his head, Marufuji Sho stretched out his finger and shook it, grinning foolishly as he offered a bold conjecture.

After all... it's not really possible to just let these "bottom-of-the-class" students drop out and get lost, is it?

"...Brother Xiang, anything is possible in dreams. Young people should just dream and stop thinking about these unrealistic things."

Yusei patted Marufuji Sho on the shoulder earnestly, looking at this guy who still held onto his dream with loving eyes.

The idea is good, but it's unrealistic and difficult to implement.

If, as Marufuji Sho said, Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon intend to merge the bottom-ranked Osiris Red into Apollo Yellow, promoting them one level while eliminating the disgraceful Osiris Red, then abolishing the dormitory would seem unnecessary.

After all, it's still the same group of people; nothing has changed.

The Osiris Red dormitory was originally built to distinguish it from the Yellow dormitory of the Sun God, specifically for students who barely passed the minimum score.

Here, there's no need to worry about attendance or credits. As long as you pass the most basic grades, you can graduate smoothly. It's a gathering place for lazy people and sleepyheads, filled with an atmosphere of giving up.

However, if the two dormitories were merged directly, removing the restrictions between different levels, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

In this situation, entrance exam scores become meaningless, so only someone with Marufuji Sho's little brain could come up with such an outrageous idea...

Taking all of the above into account, a more realistic conclusion is that after the dormitories were demolished, the only path left for the students of Osiris Red was to be expelled.

Boom boom boom——! ! !
