Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Page 65

Upon receiving the message from the pilot, the captain immediately ordered the ship to speed up and head towards the target location.

"All fleet, listen to my command, enter land attack mode!" The captain, dressed in a naval uniform, looked at the small island that appeared on the horizon ahead and immediately gave the order over the loudspeaker.

"No matter what, we must protect this suitcase!" The captain looked at the black briefcase in his hand, which was engraved with the Duel Academy's emblem, and his gaze became extremely solemn.

This escort operation is a top-secret mission entrusted by the Duel Academy, and no loss is permissible.

The armed helicopters circling overhead, along with the naval fleet to which they belong, are all there to ensure that the box is delivered to the recipient.

"Prepare to land!"

He shouted into the loudspeaker, then pulled down the engine control lever.

Upon receiving the instructions, the pilots made a gesture towards the camera, indicating that their escort operation was about to end, the mission was complete, and they could now return to base.

Time flies like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

Nearly a month has passed since Yusei arrived at Duel Academy.

During this time, Yusei gradually adapted to life at the academy.

The island is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities, and tourists often come by boat from the main island to visit.

Besides her routine of going between the dormitory and the college, Youxing would occasionally wander around the island to familiarize herself with the terrain.

Today is the day that Duel Academy is holding its monthly exams.

Just like the entrance exam, the monthly exam is divided into two parts: a written test and a practical test.

The written test covered the same content as what we taught in class, mainly basic knowledge related to dueling.

For a seasoned card player like Yusei, written exams are a piece of cake.

In actual combat, it goes without saying.

Half past seven in the morning.

After finishing her morning run, Yuxing returned to Osiris Red's dormitory.

The moment he opened the dormitory door, he saw a wonderful sight.

Despite it being exam day, Yuki Jaden was still fast asleep, clutching his pillow.

The faint sound of snoring could be heard, as if everything outside was irrelevant to him.

It's obvious they've given up on treatment...

Meanwhile, Marufuji Sho was so nervous that he couldn't sleep all night.

He got up early this morning and was busy preparing something before Yuxing went out for his morning run.

At this moment, he had a white cloth wrapped around his head, sat at his table, closed his eyes and prayed while looking at the poster on the wall, muttering incantations, as if he were performing some important ritual.

The poster prominently featured the image of "Osiris the Sky Dragon".

Two paper bowls were placed upside down in front of Marufuji Sho.

On the paper bowl, a lit candle stood upright.

Yusei: "?"

Seeing Marufuji Sho's perplexing behavior, Yusei couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

Yusei didn't disturb Marufuji Sho, who was focused on praying, but instead picked up a towel and quietly left the dormitory.

He planned to take a hot shower to wash away the sweat and fatigue from running.

This way, I can face the monthly exam in a better state.

This is the first time I've taken a formal exam since I was born into this world.

Even though I was very confident, I couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

……

"God of Duel..."

"Please bless me so that, based on this month's test results, I can rise from Osiris Red to Apollo Yellow!"

Marufuji Sho, who was praying with his hands clasped in front of his chest, was unaware that Yusei had come in.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the card he was worshipping under the poster. That card was a common spell card in the deck - [Monster Resurrection].

The effect is to revive a monster from the graveyard onto the field.

Three "Resurrection of the Dead" cards were inserted side by side on the white cloth band tied around Marufuji Sho's forehead.

This shows his anxious state of mind at that moment.

"That's exactly it..."

"The dead have been resurrected!"

"Please, rescue me from this graveyard of Osiris Red! I beg you!"

Marufuji Sho held his hands together in front of his chest, his body trembling slightly, as if trying to draw some kind of power from the [Resurrection of the Dead] that he was worshipping.

Naturally, nothing happened.

"Ring ring ring ring ring ring!!!!"

The entity that responded to his call was not the card placed before him, but the alarm clock on Jaden Yuki's bedside table.

"Eeeeeeeeeee!!!" Startled by the sound of the alarm clock, Marufuji Sho instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

"What...it's just an alarm clock!"

Marufuji Sho stood up, walked to the sleeping Yuki Judai, and looked at the alarm clock beside his pillow.

"Tenth generation brother is really having an easy time..."

"He neither conducts experiments nor reads books, and he's still sleeping in late..."

Looking at his older brother's carefree sleeping face, Marufuji Sho sighed heavily.

"Big brother, wake up!"

"I'm going to be late for the exam, bro!"

Marufuji Sho reached out and began to shake Yuki Judai's body.

Despite the alarm clock ringing continuously, Jaden Yuki showed no signs of waking up.

Seeing this, Marufuji Sho increased the force in his hands and shook it vigorously.

"My turn! Draw a card!"

Seemingly dreaming of a duel, Jaden Yuki suddenly stretched out his body and made a drawing motion.

Unable to dodge in time, Marufuji Sho was knocked to the ground by Yuki Judai's attack.

"Seriously! The round is over!"

The exam is about to start!

"What nonsense are you spouting here!"

Marufuji Sho, supporting his head and propping himself up, couldn't help but complain to Yuki Judai.

"Xiang! You're so naive!"

"Both the practical and written exams took place within our respective dormitories..."

Hayato, the teacher in the upper bunk of Yusei, leaned over the edge of the bed and spoke up to Sho Marufuji to remind him.

094 When there is trouble, we should help each other.

“?” Marufuji Sho didn’t understand what Hayato-sensei was trying to say.

"In other words, everyone in Osiris Red is an enemy to you." Hayato sighed, stating his point of view in a straightforward manner.

"How...how could this be..."

"Enemies and such..."

"How can you say we're all enemies?"

Upon hearing Hayato's words, Marufuji Sho instinctively retorted.

"Whether it's Jaden Yuki who defeated Professor Chronos, or Yusei who defeated Jun Manjoume and Asuka Tenjouin in succession, they are the closest beings to the Yellow Sun God among Osiris Red."

"If we just leave Yuki Jaden unwake... and ignore him..."

"You've essentially eliminated a powerful competitor!"

"Yuki Judai missing the exam because he was late... that might actually be to your advantage!"

Hayato-sensei patiently explained to Marufuji Sho.

His words seemed to possess a certain magic, and upon hearing them, Marufuji Sho subconsciously began to agree with his point of view...

The angels and demons in his mind were arguing. Torn, Marufuji Sho shook his head vigorously and glared angrily at Hayato.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Would it actually be more advantageous for me?"

"How could I, as the younger brother, betray my elder brother at this time?"

"If I did something like that, I would never have the face to stay here again!"

Marufuji Shōji refuted Hayato's point of view with righteous indignation.

He stood up from the ground, walked to Yuki Judai's bedside, and continued to shake his body vigorously.
