Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Nodding, Tengu Yu then turned her gaze to the two hero users, Yusei and Yuki Jaden.

"Yusei, you don't need to say anything. As someone who has been watching you all along, I know everything about you, so I naturally know what you need most."

Asuka & Rei: "..."

Yusei: "Uh..."

Ignoring the strange atmosphere around them and the meaningful glances cast from Asuka and Rei, Ms. Yui, her expression unchanged, continued, "...And for Jaden Yuki, given your skill in using fusion, I think this card is the perfect fit for you."

Although Jaden Yuki has the ability to "seal cards," he can fuse Neos with various monsters to summon some strange things.

Previously, it even fused with the Armed Dragon of the Manjoume clan, transforming into the [Armed Neos], which has the effect of ignoring summoning conditions and pulling out Extra Zone Hero Monsters...

However, Jaden Yuki would certainly not miss this opportunity to potentially gain new power.

"Huh? There really is a new card? What kind of card could it be? If it's not a fusion card, I won't accept it, you know?"

Now that John has so many powerful cards, how can I, as his good friend, be left behind?

Even if there aren't that many, at least get one useful card, right?

If it's a fusion card or a card related to it, that would be even better!

Jaden Yuki, who has a certain obsession with fusion, has always been reluctant to use other summoning methods.

Despite possessing powerful cards such as [Great Universe], [King's War], [Flower Baron], and [Psychic Executioner] that he inherited from the deceased Daitokuji teacher during the previous "Seven Stars King" incident.

The teacher, Daitokuji, who exists as a spirit and resides in the belly of the fat cat "Pharaoh," is constantly describing to him the power of the synchronized monsters such as "the big sister riding a horse" and "the maddened psychic demon."

Whether intentionally or not, Jaden Yuki ignored these warnings and never even used the cards once...

I don't use it unless it's a fusion!

Perhaps this is some kind of obsession he harbors?

"I think this card will definitely meet your expectations."

After handing the ritual-related cards and the over-limit cards to Asuka and Rei respectively.

Amamiya Yui then stood up, took out the two identical magic cards she had prepared in advance from the drawer of her desk, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Yusei and Yuki Jaden.

"……This is?!"

The green borders indicate that they are magic cards.

The pattern engraved on the illustration of this magic card is a super vortex containing multiple golden lightning bolts, almost swallowing everything.

Looking at this Ultimate Card, which seemed to possess immense power, encompassing countless causes and effects, and capable of fusing all twelve dimensions of the Duel Monsters together, Jaden Yuki, sensing a certain destiny within it, couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

He was absolutely certain that he had never seen this card before.

But... but what exactly is this throbbing and sorrow welling up from the depths of my heart...?

"Super, Integration, Harmony..."

Looking at the card that Ms. Yui handed him, Yusei read out the name of the card, word by word.

In a sense, this card might be just right for heroes like them, who possess the power of a tyrant within them...

The battle to conquer SAL Research Institute 694 has begun!

"In conclusion, due to this rule change, the corresponding prohibited cards also..."

Ring ring~~~

"Well, it looks like get out of class is over. So, that concludes today's lesson."

In a classroom at Duel Academy, a male teacher with messy long hair, wearing a purple trench coat over a black suit, scratched his head and ended his lecture after hearing the bell ring. Then, facing the empty classroom, he announced the end of the class.

After adjusting his glasses, he continued speaking to the students who weren't there, in a tone that seemed to ignore everyone else: "Well, there's another announcement today... Starting today, I will be resigning from my position as a lecturer. If you're wondering why, it's because I've lost all hope in all of you who aren't coming to class."

"...I am very unhappy with the listless and nonchalant attitude of the students in the duel, and their naive understanding of winning and losing."

"Therefore, I have decided to address all of you..."

The male teacher, his eyes brimming with stories, glanced at the empty classroom before closing his lesson plan: "...to take revenge on you all!"

……

"So many students have collapsed that the infirmary can't accommodate them all. Under these circumstances, even the most basic course arrangements might be a problem, right?"

"Yes... I think we should temporarily suspend the classes until most of the students have recovered and we can resolve this incident before resuming them..."

"What the hell is going on? This situation... it doesn't look like Duel Academy at all anymore!"

Inside the Duel Academy's gymnasium, the students who had lost consciousness in the previous mass coma incident were all gathered here.

Having each received their new cards from Tengu Yui, Yusei and his group, who had just left the principal's office, made a special trip here to check on the condition of the affected students before heading toward Professor Cobra's hideout.

Jim and Sword Mountain, having recovered, arrived here after hearing the new news.

Since most of the students invited by Amon to the banquet were elites from the Blue and Yellow dormitories, with the onset of this massive coma, these students, whose bodies had been drained, were forced to abandon their plans.

Although the energy-absorbing devices on the students' arms had been removed by the people from the Seahorse Corporation after Ms. Jie took office as the new principal.

However, the damage they suffered before this will not be reversed.

Next, all we can do is wait for them to recover their energy and strength so they can weather this crisis.

"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've been to class..."

Looking at the gloomy atmosphere, Asuka, who was standing next to Yusei, couldn't help but sigh with a sad expression: "Although most of the third-year students who are about to graduate have a lot of free time and don't have as many required courses as the first and second year students, it's still not good... I wonder what the teachers are doing."

"I imagine the teachers are probably extremely busy, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Responding to Asuka's exclamation, Yusei cast a comforting glance at her, the model student.

Before leaving, Yusei noticed the numerous teaching schedules and various tedious reports on Ms. Yu's desk, realizing that she was currently very busy and unable to spare any time.

Therefore, he did not bother her too much.

The two have different stances, their own tasks and responsibilities, and this is not a good time for small talk.

After this incident is resolved, there will be plenty of time to cultivate our relationship.

In short.

Professor Cobra, and Principal Samejima who turns a blind eye to his behavior...

The person who made such a mistake and harmed so many students is absolutely...unforgivable!

Principal Samejima has resigned, and now it's Professor Cobra's turn to take responsibility and be punished as the mastermind!

……

"...Grumble! The walls here are so hard! Did that Cobra guy already know I was coming to see him and set a trap beforehand?"

O'Brien, investigating Professor Cobra's purpose alone, followed the location shown in the information and arrived at the abandoned research facility.

However, Professor Cobra, who had noticed O'Brien through the field of vision of the surrounding cameras, deliberately appeared in front of him and led O'Brien into a trap he had prepared in advance.

While guarding against Professor Cobra's sneak attack, O'Brien suddenly lost his footing and was trapped in a deep pit-like trap.

Seeing O'Brien fall into the trap he had prepared, Professor Cobra smiled knowingly, then turned and walked back into the depths of the research institute with his hands behind his back.

"Damn it, I was careless!"

Who would have thought Professor Cobra was so cunning! Had he already begun to guard against his trusted confidant?

Although there were no dangerous things like spikes or corrosive liquid in the pit, the smooth and hard walls around him and the distant escape route overhead still made O'Brien feel a sense of despair.

"Professor Cobra! What exactly do you mean?"

Speaking loudly to the camera monitoring him from above, O'Brien questioned Professor Cobra on the other side of the lens, "Speak up, Professor Cobra, you're watching me right now, aren't you!"

"Ha, foolish O'Brien, your mission is over."

Through the camera's view, watching O'Brien struggle futilely in the deep pit, Professor Cobra's eyes flashed with a mocking look: "...You just stay there until it's all over! I'll deal with you later, you disobedient bastard."

Having absorbed all the students' energy, Professor Cobra, anticipating the consequences, had already made the necessary preparations.

After converting the research institute into a fortress, he recruited a group of other reliable helpers.

Under these circumstances, for Professor Cobra, someone like O'Brien, who dared to defy his will, had no further use.

It's not too late to deal with O'Brien after we've dealt with all those foolish rebels and resurrected that great man.

For now, let's just let him stay inside.

Like Yusei, Professor Cobra's goal is also to figure out how to get rid of those who are his enemies.

Through his inside contact at Duel Academy, he also learned about the recent upheavals within the academy: the foolish, bald-headed Principal Samejima had been dismissed from his post due to his own mistakes.

The new principal is an incredibly beautiful young woman, but the first thing she does after taking office is to issue a ruthless arrest warrant to herself, the temporary professor.

Fortunately, he has now collected enough energy, and all he needs to do now is wait quietly for that person to use this energy for their own benefit and recover.

"Hehehehehe... It's too late. Whatever you intend to do, it's already too late."

Sensing the powerful aura surging within the petri dish behind him, Professor Cobra's gaze had already transcended the scene before him, looking towards the future that was about to unfold.

In that future, he will fulfill his long-cherished wish, make amends for the mistakes he made, and personally rescue the child who once left him from the abyss.

And that future is about to unfold before his eyes!
