Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Hehehehe... Your wheel of fate has now begun to turn!"

"Let's duel!!!"

"Ah! Let's begin, the duel!!!"

And so, the shouts of the plural, signaling the start of the duel, echoed through Obelisk Blue's dormitory.

The two sides in the duel were Manjoume alone and several Obelisk Blue elites. It could be said that this was a duel with an extremely large gap in combat power, and there was almost no suspense.

However, the outcome of the duel was completely unexpected...

……

"No...impossible!!!"

"How could this happen??? Ughhhh... I can't believe it!!!"

"Manjoume... Kisama!!!"

His face was full of resentment.

Engulfed by the white light, this group of self-proclaimed elites, who challenged the mighty, were overwhelmed by the attack of [Armed Dragon LV10] shortly after the duel began and were defeated in the duel.

With their defeat, these people, like Manjoume who had previously lost to Saiou, became the vanguard of the Society of Light, falling into the white camp of the Light of Destruction...

……

"What... exactly is this light?"

"Oberisk Blue Dormitory... what on earth happened?"

Seeing the massive energy surge emanating from inside the Obelisk Blue dormitory, Yusei, who had just arrived, couldn't help but raise his head and ask a curious question.

Behind him were Jaden Yuki and his group who had come here with him, as well as Asuka's trio who had come from the nearby Obelisk Blue girls' dormitory.

"Asuka-san..."

"What has become of the Obelisk Blue dormitory...?" Junko and Momoe, Asuka's two best friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they saw the flash of light coming from the Obelisk Blue dormitory.

"I don't know either, anyway, let's investigate this place as soon as possible..."

Asuka, who was also confused about the current situation, shook her head slightly and, along with Yusei and the others, turned her gaze toward the entrance of Obelisk Blue.

Just as they were about to enter the dormitory to find out what was going on, the door to the Obelisk Blue dormitory was suddenly opened from the inside.

Then, a figure was thrown directly out of the dormitory...

"Huh? Isn't that... Fubuki?"

"……elder brother?"

The prince, dressed in a custom-made Obelisk blue trench coat, was suddenly thrown out of the dormitory by the crowd.

Looking at the man lying on the ground in a disheveled state, Yusei raised an eyebrow and uttered a questioning sound.

no……

Brother-in-law, what are you doing?

Is this some kind of performance art?

"...Brother! Are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Asuka quickly stepped forward and rushed to Fubuki's side, helping him up from the ground.

Then, she asked her brother with concern.

What... what exactly happened?

"Ah, it's alright... I just wanted to stop Manjoume and the others from painting the dorm white, but I didn't expect... they would suddenly throw me out... Oops, I was careless~"

Brushing the dust off her clothes and looking embarrassed, Tenjōin Fubuki scratched her head and got up from the ground, then turned to look in the direction of the door.

"Painted white? Is Manjoume trying to cause trouble here?"

Just as he said, a large group of former Obelisk Blue students in white uniforms had gathered around the dormitory. These students, who had been defeated by Manjoume, then launched duels against other students.

Like a contagious zombie virus, these students who lost the duel were also infected and became members of the Society of Light, represented by Manjoume.

At this moment, they are planning to use the original Obelisk Blue boys' dormitory as their base and repaint it to a pure white color.

At the center of the crowd stood the arrogant figure of Manjoume, who was waiting for everyone to arrive.

"What's that...? Why are all the Obelisk Blue guys wearing white uniforms?"

"Could it be that the chuunibyou virus of Manjoume has already infected this place?"

"Uh... I don't think so, right? These people are clearly a bit abnormal. They give me the impression of a group of cult members, constantly radiating some kind of crazy obsession..."

Observing the group of former Obelisk Blue students surrounding Manjoume, Yusei and the others began to express their own guesses.

In short, it is certain that this somewhat abrupt change is inextricably linked to Manjoume.

"Yusei, Judai, Tenjouin... You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!" Surrounded by his underlings, Manjou, seemingly reverting to his original self when he first enrolled, crossed his arms and made this announcement to the crowd.

"Manjoume, what exactly is this...?"

"Don't call me Banjoume!" Interrupting Yusei's voice, Banjoume corrected him, "Right now, I am Banjoume the White Lightning!!!"

"That's right! It's Manjoume's White Lightning!! White Lightning!!!" A group of his underlings echoed Manjoume's words, shouting like madmen.

"Hahahaha... Lord Saiou asked me to dye the Duel Academy white, to make it look like the Society of Light should, and this is my answer!"

With his arms outstretched and a crazed look on his face, Manjoume looked up at the sky after saying this: "Lord Saiō, do you see? This is the power of my White Lightning, Manjoume!"

"...Compared to Ed Phoenix, I'm the one who's more suitable to be your focus!!!"

503 Only newspapers can defeat the mainstream.

The Dharma King standing upright.

In Tarot, these cards represent key figures who play a crucial role.

This is Saiō's evaluation of Yusei. After learning of Aide's failure, he tentatively performed a divination on Yusei and then learned of this result that made him slightly unhappy.

Following Jaden Yuki, another one, Yusei, has arrived...

These two individuals, whose names contain the character "游" (you), naturally became obstacles on his path to realizing his lofty ideals, irreconcilable beings who were like fire and water to the light of destruction residing within him.

It was precisely because Saiou recognized this obstacle that he ordered Manjoume to serve as his vanguard, establishing a forward base for the Society of Light within the Duel Academy in advance, to make full preparations for the upcoming plan...

"...King Zhaiwang?"

"Isn't Prince Jai-wang Ed Phoenix's agent?"

Seeing the fanatical attitude displayed by Manjoume, Judai Yuki, feeling bewildered, scratched his cheek and asked in confusion.

"Hmph! The agent is nothing but a disguise! Lord Sai-o, chosen by the divine light, is the one who truly deserves the greatness of this world!"

Answering Judai's questions, Manjoume continued, "Lord Saiou... he is the leader of our Society of Light!"

Marufuji Sho: "The Society of Light? The leader? What on earth has Manjoume been talking about since just now?"

Kenzan: "I don't know... I completely don't understand..."

"Hey! Lightning... are you alright?"

Judai Yuki, her hands clasped to her mouth and a worried expression on her face, called out towards Banjou's direction, "...Should we go to the infirmary? Or...should I go and call Ayukawa-sensei over?"

"You idiot! I'm not sick!"

Mistaken for a delusional teenager by Judai Yuki, Manjoume's brows furrowed immediately. Pushing aside his underlings, he stretched out his arm toward Judai Yuki: "The ones with problems are you guys who haven't woken up yet!"

"Huh? We haven't woken up?"

"That's right, let me prove it to you all! Through a duel!" With a smirk on his lips and brimming with self-satisfaction, Manjoume declared his challenge to the crowd that had appeared there.

Yusei: "...A duel? Are you sure?"

Jaden Yuki: "Indeed, this method is more direct! Well then, I'll do it..."

"...Wait! Let me do it."

Just as Yusei and Jaden Yuki were getting ready to deliver a loving blow to Manjoume, who seemed to be suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), and wake him from his fantasy, Asuka suddenly stepped forward and came to them: "This time it's an internal matter for Obelisk Blue, so I'll duel with Manjoume!"

"Manjoume... please be very careful. These Obelisk Blue students all challenged Manjoume, but they all failed, and then they became like this..."

Looking at her brave younger sister, Tenjōin Fubuki couldn't help but utter words of worry.

He worried that after Asuka lost to Manjoume, she would join Saiou's Society of Light, just like those abnormal students...

"It's alright, brother, Yusei, and everyone... Leave this duel to me!" Asuka, with a brave expression and a heart full of determination, placed her hand on her chest.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Asuka..."

Asuka, who possesses the power of the Declarer and the Dragon's Radiance, will not have any problems as long as she is not deliberately targeted.

No matter how powerful Manjoume is, he shouldn't be a match for her.

In that case, there's nothing to worry about.

"Can I do it, Manjoume?"

"Hmph hmph hmph... Alright, Tenjouin, I've always hoped that you could experience the wonders of the Society of Light, just like I have!"

After saying these words, Manjō-mu lowered his head slightly.

Where no one was watching, a knowing glint flashed in his eyes...

……

After that, having reached a consensus, the group went to the Duel Academy's dedicated dueling arena.

Yusei and his group, along with the Obelisk Blue students in their white uniforms, sat in the audience, acting as spectators.

Meanwhile, Manjoume and Asuka, who were planning to duel, stood on the left and right sides of the dueling arena, respectively, ready for their duel.

"You actually dare to accept this duel, Tenjouin!"

"How about it? Why don't you also undergo the Trial of Light and be dyed white? If you are bathed in pure white light and your heart also becomes pure white, then there will be new things that you can see."

Right from the start, Wan Zhangmu, with a confident expression, began to use his persuasive skills, attempting to subdue his enemy without a fight.

And naturally, he could only receive a rejection from Asuka.
