Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Ignoring Kanda's shouts, Yusei resolutely swung his arm, giving the order to attack his monster.

"Didn't you hear me? I said..."

"【Masked Hero - Dark Demon】Can directly attack the opponent, however, the damage will be reduced to half."

"What?! It was... a direct attack?!"

Seeing that Kanda wanted to say something more, Yusei reached out and pushed up his glasses, which weren't actually on his nose, and calmly explained the effect of the Dark Demon.

While Kanda was stunned, Dark Demon swiftly bypassed the numerous monsters placed in front of him and then leaped towards Kanda's location, unleashing a signature Rider Kick consisting of a dash, jump, and acceleration.

"2800 attack power... half of that is 1400 points... It's okay, I can still handle it!"

Seeing that he could not avoid the impending impact and was locked in by the aura of the Dark Demon, Kanda, who was facing a great crisis, pushed himself to the limit and instantly calculated the gains and losses of this battle in his mind.

He currently has 2500 health points remaining. Even after taking 1400 damage, he will still have 900 health points left, so it's far from over.

Since it's not over yet, it means there's still hope in his next gacha pull!

"No, it's already over."

"...?"

Seemingly understanding Kanda's thoughts, Yusei gave a soft "heh," then showed a new card to the stunned Kanda: "At this very moment during the damage calculation step, I discard [Elemental HERO True Neos] from my hand and activate its effect, increasing the ATK of [Masked HERO Dark Oni], a [HERO] monster, by 2500 until the end of this turn!"

(【Masked Hero - Dark Demon】 Attack Power: 2800→5300)

Still in mid-air, Dark Demon received an attribute boost from Makoto. With rainbow-colored wings unfurling behind him, he leaped in front of Kanda in the next instant, enveloped in a seven-colored glow, and kicked him off the dueling arena before he could react.

"Ughh ...

Even with the damage reduction from the Duel Disk, this attack still sent Kanda flying a considerable distance.

Half of the attack power value of 5300 is 2650 damage.

After being struck by the flying kick from the Dark Demon, which was empowered by Makoto, Kanda could only helplessly lose all his health points, ultimately meeting his defeat in the duel.

(Kanda LP: 2500→0)

Although, he still has many puzzles yet to be solved.

But at this moment, these things are no longer of any use.

"I won! What a pleasant duel!"

Putting away the Duel Disk on his arm, Yusei didn't forget to offer Kanda, who had fallen into the audience, his heartfelt blessing as a hero.

"..."

Kanda, who was seeing stars from the shock, immediately lost consciousness after hearing Yusei's seemingly mocking words.

It's over, it's over.

"As expected, it's Yusei's victory!"

"Great! This way, Asuka won't mistake us for peeping Toms!"

Jaden Yuki clapped his hands with Kenzan and Sho, and a relieved smile appeared on his face as he witnessed the outcome.

With Yusei's victory, this farce should finally come to an end.

"...In the end, it was just that Manjoume made a mistake and joined the Society of Light! There's no way that a guy like that could beat a duelist like Yusei."

"Hey... Tenjōin, you seem a bit cold today..."

With a slight sigh, looking at Kanda's fate as Asuka stood up and left the dueling arena without hesitation.

Seeing Asuka's reaction, Manjoume scratched his head, looking puzzled, and followed her away from there.

……

After resolving the incident caused by Kanda, the mundane routine returned to everyone.

In the midst of this somewhat boring and mundane daily life, a man who was unwilling to be ordinary began to seek a different path of change than before.

Duel Academy, in the Duel Arena of Sun God Huang.

Surrounded by his underlings, Manjoume also arrived here and led the members of the Society of Light to launch a new offensive against the students of the Sun God Huang.

After successfully subduing Obelisk Blue, Manjoume, as a member of the Society, planned to strike while the iron was hot and bring the Sun God Yellow into the Society of Light.

And naturally, the sun god Huang also resisted the intruder, Wan Zhangmu.

Thus, the duel ensued.

However, since there are no overpowered characters like Yusei or Jaden Yuki here, the battles here are also characterized by a one-sided and brutal situation.

"Hmph! You lot know what's going on, right? After losing this duel, you will all have to join Lord Saiou's Society of Light!"

He crossed his arms, raised his head, and looked at the group of Sun God Yellow students who dared to challenge him with an extremely arrogant attitude. He then announced their final fate to them, who were trapped in a desperate situation.

Before this, Manjoume had already easily destroyed their final battle and summoned his trump card monster—the various forms of the Divine Dragon Strike Cannon.

The next step is simply to defeat these powerless individuals and turn them into pawns of the Society of Light, thereby increasing the Society's influence.

"Well……!!!"

Clenching their fists tightly, the people of Sun God Huang couldn't help but grit their teeth at the sight of Wan Zhangmu's nonchalant and arrogant attitude.

However, it must be admitted that in a duel, they were indeed no match for Manjoume...

"Ha! Is the resistance over? Then it's my turn next!"

"...Charge! My Dragon Cannon Legion, launch a direct attack on these guys!"

After showing disdain for the fighting prowess of the trembling duelists of the Sun God Yellow, Manjoume easily dealt with their hard-won offensive.

Then, he commanded his monsters to reduce the duelists' life points to 0 in one fell swoop.

"Ughhhhhhh...!!!"

"Hey...! Join the Society of Light and follow Lord Saiou with me!"

Engulfed by the attacking light, the few who challenged the towering beam were sent flying by the explosion.

When they rose again, they were already infected by the light of destruction, their eyes glowing white, and they had become the loyal servants of the King of the West.

"Ahhh~~~ Ever since he was influenced by that Sai-o, Brother Manjoume has really gotten more and more involved!"

"Really..."

"What will become of us next?"

Floating in mid-air, the three brothers of the Disruption Spirit, who were Manjoume's spirits, couldn't help but sigh deeply after witnessing Manjoume's incredibly arrogant demeanor.

……

That evening, at the Huang dormitory of the Sun God.

Daichi Misawa, returning to his dormitory from outside, immediately saw the large group of people packing their bags with blank expressions, preparing to leave.

Professor Kabayama, the dormitory supervisor, seemed unable to bear this sudden surprise and was now completely stunned...

"You guys? Are you planning to leave the Sun God Yellow Dormitory?" Shocked by the scene before him, Misawa Daichi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, there's nothing to look forward to here."

"The Society of Light, that is where our happiness lies!"

"Only the Society of Light can make us feel at ease!"

"Mizawa, should we put in a good word for you with Lord Saiou and ask him to join the great Society of Light?"

As Misawa entered the dormitory, everyone boasted about the various benefits of the Society of Light while extending an olive branch to him.

"Are you kidding me? I'm the chief of the Sun God Huang Su!"

Frowning, Misawa Daichi rejected the proposal from these clearly abnormal people without hesitation.

Although its presence is extremely faint, it is almost forgotten.

However, Misawa Daichi was indeed a top student who entered the Duel Academy with the highest score, and could be considered the chief student of the Sun God Huang.

PY: "I Only Wanted to Cultivate Immortality, But Was Forced to Build a Harem"

A Nascent Soul cultivator transmigrates to a crossover anime world, single-mindedly pursuing immortality and detached from worldly affairs, but he is constantly drawn into supernatural events and targeted by various beautiful girls.

Lin Hezhen: "Don't come any closer!"

"Tell me, who do you choose?"

"Only children make choices; adults want it all."

This is the story of a cultivator who is forced to build a harem in a world where spiritual energy is reviving.

(This book references works such as Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend, Bunny Girl Senpai, Oregairu, and Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.)

"I Only Wanted to Cultivate Immortality, But Was Forced to Build a Harem"

564 The wind howls, the Yi River is cold.

"What a joke! I'm the chief of the Sun God Huang Su... Besides, why would I go to that Society of Light..."

Faced with offers of opportunities from his fellow students in the same dormitory, Daichi Misawa refused without even thinking.

What kind of bullshit Society of Light is this? It's clearly just a gathering place for a bunch of lunatics. What normal person would go there?

"Oh, never mind then."

"Hmph! Misawa, you really don't know what's good for you! Since you've said so, then do as you please!"

"Hmm... If you change your mind, you can come find us anytime!"

Perhaps in the past, the students of the Sun God Yellow would have subconsciously held a respectful attitude towards the academically excellent Misawa Daichi.

But after you were affected by the destruction, those feelings have become like smoke in the wind.

After uttering these mocking words to the stunned Misawa Daichi, the group unhesitatingly dragged their luggage and left the Sun God Yellow Dormitory in batches, heading towards the Society of Light.

“You…you guys!!!”
