"Just summoning tokens on the field gives it 2000 attack power? As expected of Lord Landis's deck, it's truly powerful."

"Damn thief, Tanaka, teach him a lesson."

Faced with the ridicule and insults of these people, the Death Raven only uttered a word full of contempt.

The voice changer only made his voice sound somewhat mechanical; the meaning in his words remained intact.

"Ha, the clamor of the weak is really boring."

"Nani—!"

"Damn it, he's just a thief, a robber!"

"Your so-called strength is utterly insignificant before us, the great Lords of the Mortal Realm of Gensokyo!"

"Bothered by pointless pride, that guy never unleashed the true power of this deck—"

The raven's mask was slightly raised, its dark lenses obscuring everything and making it impossible to see what was inside.

“Death will come eventually, but to die because of arrogance is the most foolish death. If it weren’t for the Lord of the World showing his mercy, the so-called soul of Landis would have long been our collection, hanging on the wall for us to browse at will.”

"Huh? Clearly, you're just afraid of the police's power. Don't be so arrogant! Activate the effect of [Zombie Tiger]—once per turn, during your Main Phase, this card can be treated as an Equip Card and equipped to your 'Rotten General,' or you can remove the Equip status and Special Summon it face-up in Attack Position."

With a swift leap, the remaining physical memory allowed the general to skillfully mount the tiger's back.

"When this card becomes an Equip Card through its own effect, the equipped monster gains 500 ATK and DEF. Each time the equipped monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, the opponent randomly discards 1 card from their hand. This card can also replace the battle destruction of the equipped monster!"

"Set 2 cards face down, then activate the Equip Spell [Magistrate's Power] to equip [Rotten Warrior]. The equipped monster gains 500 ATK and DEF for each Spell/Trap Card on your field. Therefore, [Rotten Warrior] gains 2000 points!"

[Decaying General] Attack Power: 1000→1500→3500

"3500 attack power in one go!"

After realizing that struggling was futile, Marufuji Sho, who was trapped in a specially made capture net by the Dark Duelist, simply began to watch the duel intently.

"Arenone, how did you get trapped here?!—Good heavens, why are there so many people at this exhibition?!"

Confused, Professor Chronos, who shared the same plan as Jaden and the others (to preview the decks), stared wide-eyed at the chaotic battlefield and shouted.

"Ah, it's Professor Chronos! Teacher, hurry, go get help! These guys are here to steal our decks!"

Jaden Yuki was also trapped here. When he saw Professor Chronos arrive, he quickly reminded him to leave.

"What, a teacher?"

"Kronos? That name sounds familiar. He's a professor at the university. After dealing with him, we'll deal with those troublesome brats too!"

"Yes!"

It seems this group is organized...

"What?! You actually tried to hurt my student in front of me, your professor! Unforgivable, None!"

For once, Professor Chronos's expression turned serious. Instead of running away, he immediately opened his Duel Disk.

"As long as I'm here, you won't be able to find my students!"

At that moment, Professor Chronos's figure seemed incredibly imposing in Jaden Yuki's eyes.

"Interesting. You're a good teacher, but unfortunately, we're not good students!"

The Dark Duelist wore a cruel smile; he didn't believe that someone as battle-hardened as himself would lose to a school teacher.

"Hmph, bring it on, None!"

"Duel!" x2

"Enter battle—"

"Pitiful, pathetic, lamentable. Your strength is so pathetic, yet you dare to dream of revenge against us?"

Looking at the imposing, immortal general on the opposing team's field, Death Raven spoke calmly.

"Since there is 'Sea' on the field, this card can be activated from the hand. Activate the Trap Card 'Phantom Dragon's War Vortex' to destroy your 'Rotten General'."

A vortex brimming with the spirit of battle surged toward the decaying general, granting him and his companions eternal slumber.

"Damn it! Fine, then I'll end this round like this—"

"Listen to this death knell, and rest in peace in the dark coffin! Open the face-down card, activate the Trap Card [Great Sandstorm]!"

Beneath the ocean current, a whirlpool known as a waterspout is expanding continuously, its roaring sound echoing the message of the raven that heralds death, like a death knell.

"During the turn this card is activated, you cannot conduct your Battle Phase. You can target up to 2 Spell/Trap Cards on the field; destroy those cards."

"Sleep well, I'll destroy the two face-down cards on your field."

A massive waterspout swept in, carrying away everything in its path.

"Torrent Burial and Trap Disruptor, huh? Well, my turn, draw."

"It seems your fate ends in this round."

"Summon [Macro Eater X]"

The Cretaceous marine dinosaur opened its gaping maw, staring menacingly at the pale-faced duelist opposite it, along with the plump sea dragon beside it.

"All men must die eventually, and no one is an exception."

That's exactly it, therefore, I—

"Battle! [Macrophagus X] and [Phantom Dragon Derivative], attack directly!"

"Sink into the boundless sea, for I have already said this is your grave—"

"And I am merely announcing your death."

The boundless ocean was tinged with black.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of the students, the person who had just been standing there had vanished, replaced by a card placed eerily on the ground.

People have become cards...

"See that? This is the real dark game, a duel where souls and lives are at stake, None."

Professor Chronos, who was in the middle of a duel, also saw this scene out of the corner of his eye and gave his students a serious lecture.

"Perhaps this is a little too early for you, but this is something you have to face now."

"Fear it, be afraid of it, then understand it, and finally conquer it."

"This is an inevitable process for every duelist who chooses to embark on the path of true dueling."

"Of course, if you choose to run away, no one will blame you, None, because you are still students, and you have the right to choose and run away."

"teacher........"

Professor Chronos can be this serious sometimes, it's a completely different person from when he's always making funny faces and trying to cause trouble for Jaden Yuki...

“Fate led me here, so I came. My original intention was not to work on Yugi Muto’s deck, but to take this opportunity to find opponents for my experimental deck and, incidentally, make a name for myself. But in reality, I was disappointed.”

Amidst wary or hostile gazes, the Death Raven uttered these sarcastic words, then, without even glancing at the card on the ground, prepared to leave.

"You can't just bully someone and then try to leave! That won't do!"

A cheerful voice came from outside the window. The Death Raven's eyes narrowed, and it leaped back away from the window. Immediately afterward, a man jumped in, just like the Death Raven had done.

"Grand Judge of the International Tribunal, Lin Yu. I hereby declare that you are all now surrounded by me alone."

"You are now being arrested on charges of abusing the Dark Duel, theft, robbery, and damaging public facilities. Does anyone have any objections? If you do, please raise them. I promise I won't kill you."

Lin Yu flashed a bright white smile, took out his identification, activated the Duel Disk, and looked at the various Dark Duelists with a smile.

"...Grand Judge!"

"Holy crap, why is this guy here?!"

"Everyone retreat! Save whoever can escape!"

Upon seeing the newcomer's face, all the dark duelists who had been dueling and wearing wicked smiles turned pale and screamed, trying to run away.

At that moment, a series of panicked footsteps came from below the floor. The guys who had been lying in ambush to intercept them were now fleeing in a chaotic manner, and some of them were even preparing to jump out of the window in a fit of rage.

The only one who remained calm was the masked Death Raven.

He touched his neck and adjusted the voice changer.

"I really didn't expect that you, Grand Judge Lin Yu, would actually come here. Aren't you afraid of being assassinated by a group of people on the way?"

Seeing the Deathbird looking at him so calmly, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, his smile still on his face.

"I'm really not afraid."

His incredibly confident answer reflected Lin Yu's pride as a top duelist.

"Is that so? Although I am very tempted by you, unfortunately I still have a mission to complete. Until we meet again."

Shaking its head slightly with regret, the Death Raven instantly ran towards the window opposite.

"We'll meet again sometime soon. There's no time like the present, so I'll take this opportunity to recycle Landis's deck!"

"Rumble rumble rumble—!"

The helicopter rotors suddenly roared to life, and at that moment, cries of anguish and indignation echoed from all around: "Don't arrest me, I was just passing by!" "There's an ambush here!" "Damn it, Lin Yu, where is he?!" The sheer misery of the situation made one want to laugh.

Two helicopters blocked the windows on both sides, and orderly footsteps came from the stairs, blocking all of the Death Raven's path.

"Were you prepared all along? But isn't this a bit too much of a show of force just for some weaklings...?"

Despite being surrounded by the Arbitrators, the Death Raven remained fearless.

"Haha, on vacation, and incidentally racking up some achievements. Or you can guess~"

Lin Yu smiled smugly, then prepared to use a duel to completely incapacitate this guy.

Guess? I guess a joke!

Chang Yan kept sneering to himself.

Well done, Lin Yu, now you're spouting nonsense too.

This level of police force is enough to wage war against some medium-sized organizations in the dark dueling world. Are they here to gain merit?
