Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

...

"Arrived safely!"

Yusei and his two friends arrived at the lecture hall on time, and by then, the classroom was almost full.

The red dormitory was a bit far from the classroom, so the three of them ran all the way there.

The three people who arrived on time immediately became the center of attention.

Yusei glanced around the classroom, observing its structure.

The classroom seating was roughly divided into three groups, with students dressed in Osiris Red, Apollo Yellow, and Obelisk Blue respectively.

The Obelisk Blue section is further divided into male and female seating.

Yusei spotted Asuka immediately from his seat in Obelisk Blue.

She stood out in the crowd.

On her left and right sat girls with long black hair and short brown hair, respectively, who seemed to be her best friends.

Asuka noticed Yusei's gaze and smiled slightly at him.

Besides Tenjouin Asuka, Yusei also spotted Misawa Daichi and Manjoume Jun in the crowd.

Sensing Yusei's gaze, Misawa Daichi waved gently at Yusei in a friendly manner.

Manjoume and Yusei stared at each other for a few seconds. Seemingly remembering his defeat last night, he snorted coldly, turned his head away, and stopped looking in their direction.

Sitting next to Manjoume were naturally his two henchmen.

"Hmph! A bad student is a bad student after all."

Professor Kunonos, sitting at the lectern, glanced at the three men in red uniforms and snorted coldly.

A look of displeasure appeared on that face, which was comparable to the Pot of Greed.

It seems he had some reservations about the three of them arriving at the classroom on purpose.

"Well, let's hurry up and find seats, class is about to start." Marufuji Sho couldn't stand the stares from everyone and quickly suggested.

In lecture halls like this, students instinctively sit towards the back, so the front rows are often left empty.

After all, the closer you are to the front, the more attention you will receive from the teacher, and you will be discovered if you are distracted even for a little while.

Apart from those exceptionally outstanding students, I doubt anyone would willingly stay under a teacher's watchful eye.

As the bottom of Duel Academy, Osiris Red is naturally a group of guys who just slack off.

Since Yusei and his two companions arrived quite late, they could forget about getting seats in the back rows, as those seats had already been taken.

Left with no other choice, the three of them sat side by side in the front row, right under the noses of Kunonos.

Still feeling sleepy from the morning, Yusei was worried that she would fall asleep during class without realizing it...

"Cough cough..."

Professor Kunonos made a fist and put it in front of his mouth, then cleared his throat.

"All of you students must have a certain level of skill in dueling to have passed the entrance exam for the Duel Academy."

"Before we begin the lesson, I'd like to test everyone's basic knowledge of dueling."

He glanced around the classroom before fixing his gaze on Obelisk Blue's Tenjōin Asuka.

"Asuka-san, could you please explain the types of duel cards?"

Kunonos pointed in the direction of Obelisk Blue and spoke by name.

"Duel Monsters cards consist of Monster Cards, Ritual Monster Cards, Fusion Monster Cards, Effect Monster Cards, Trap Cards, and Spell Cards."

"Trap cards are further divided into normal traps, counter traps, and permanent traps."

"Spell cards are divided into Normal Spells, Permanent Spells, Equip Spells, Quick-Play Spells, Ritual Spells, and Environmental Spells."

Asuka, who was called upon by Professor Kunonos, stood up calmly and easily gave the answer to the question, demonstrating the demeanor expected of a top student.

"That's great! That's enough!"

"This question is way too easy for Asuka from Obelisk Blue!"

Kunonos crossed his arms in front of his chest, making a gesture of satisfaction.

This gesture should have been incredibly cute, but paired with Professor Chronos's face, which resembles the "Pot of Greed," it just looks awkward no matter how you look at it...

076 Speaking of duels, I'm wide awake now!

"No, these are just basic knowledge of dueling." Asuka ignored the enthusiastic gazes around her and said modestly, then bent down and sat down.

Professor Kunonos didn't take Asuka's somewhat indifferent attitude to heart.

In his view, this was simply the composure of a top student.

“Next…” Professor Kunonos’s gaze swept over Obelisk Blue, Apollo Yellow, and finally settled on Osiris… the Wandering Star.

He originally wanted to name Marufuji Sho, but Yusei's presence was just too strong.

Just sitting there, it was impossible not to attract my attention.

He's clearly just a bottom-of-the-class student in Osiris Red, and he looks like he's about to fall asleep, so why does he have such a strong aura?

Professor Kunonos's brows furrowed tightly, making his already somewhat ferocious face even more terrifying.

"Um... Yusei, right?"

"Hmm?" Yusei, who was struggling to stay awake and trying not to doze off, quickly snapped back to reality when he heard Professor Kunonos's voice.

"Hmm...you got up and answered, what are the different types of monster summoning?"

Professor Kunonos pondered for a moment and decided to pose a slightly challenging question to Yusei.

"The types of monsters that can be summoned?" Yusei stood up, resting his right hand on his chin as he pondered.

This is a habit of Yusei's; it's always good to think before answering a question, regardless of whether you know the answer or not.

Rehearse what you're about to say in your mind several times, carefully consider your wording, and make sure there are no mistakes before you respond.

"Hoo ho..."

Seeing Yusei's reaction, Professor Kunonos's face showed a relieved expression. It seemed that his first impression of Yusei was just his illusion.

Osiris Red is Osiris Red; the basics are what they are, and it can never surpass Obelisk Blue.

Professor Kunonos thought Yusei couldn't answer the question and was about to tell him to sit down, and take the opportunity to mock Osiris Red again, when he heard Yusei's speech.

"The summoning of monsters is divided into Normal Summoning, which can be performed once per turn, and Flip Summoning and Special Summoning, which can be performed an unlimited number of times."

"Flip Summoning refers to changing a face-down monster on the field to a face-up monster."

"Special Summon, as the name suggests, refers to a special summoning behavior achieved through the effect of a card. For example, when there is a monster on the opponent's field, the [Cyber ​​Dragon] can be Special Summoned from the hand to the field. This summon does not take up the normal summoning opportunity once per turn."

"The act of summoning a Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck using a Fusion Spell Card also falls under the category of Special Summon."

Yusei gave several examples to illustrate the differences between the various summons.

As a veteran of the OCG, Yusei's answer was naturally more professional than Asuka's earlier response.

The surrounding students couldn't help but cast admiring glances at Yu Xing.

"Hmph! This guy..." The voice clearly came from Manjoume.

"Well done." Asuka was very satisfied with Yusei's performance; he truly lived up to his reputation as the duelist she had chosen.

(Misawa Daichi: ??? Aren't you going to mention me?)

Upon hearing Yusei's answer, Professor Kunonos couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Yusei's answer was more accurate than he had expected.

Professor Kunonos flipped through the student roster and saw a special mark next to Yusei's name, indicating that Yusei was a special recruit.

……

No wonder he's at this level...

So this guy was a specially admitted student...

That makes sense.

How could there be such an outstanding student among the poor students of Osiris Red?

Professor Kunonos waved to Yusei, indicating that he could sit down.

That was just a coincidence. Professor Kunonos doesn't believe that Osiris Red City is an exception like the Wandering Star.

He decided to select another student to test his skills.

Professor Kunonos's gaze skipped over Yusei, lingered for a moment on Yuki Jaden's hateful face, and finally settled on Marufuji Sho, who looked timid.

Seeing Professor Kunonos staring intently at him, Marufuji Sho was startled.

Professor Kunonos noticed Marufuji Sho's reaction, and a knowing look appeared on his face.

Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie...

I've been looking for you! Marufuji Sho!

As the representative of Osiris Red, you shall receive the baptism from the crowd!

"Marufuji!" Professor Kunonos shouted at Marufuji Sho.

"Yes!" Upon hearing Kunonos's voice, Marufuji Sho immediately stood up.

Professor Kunonos walked over to Marufuji Sho with his hands behind his back. He looked down at Marufuji Sho, who had stood up, and said, "Please explain environmental magic."

“Uh…that…environmental…magic is…” Marufuji Sho stammered, his face showing embarrassment as he desperately tried to think of an answer.

"..." Yusei looked at Marufuji Sho with a speechless expression.

What's there to be nervous about? Just say whatever comes to mind, right? Are you afraid Professor Kunonos will eat you up?

Seeing that Marufuji Sho was stammering for a long time and couldn't make sense of it, the crowd couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.

"Is this all the Osiris Red guy is capable of?" Manjoume's henchman B launched into taunt mode.
