This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Niu Weizhe, as swift as a tiger, charged towards You Shuo and threw a heavy punch!

His punch, accompanied by the sound of wind, was aimed straight at You Shuo's face.

But just as Ushio Tetsuya swung his arm in a wide arc, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, unable to move an inch.

"What?!"

Ushio Tetsuya was startled.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that thorny vines were breaking through the soil and tightly binding him!

"Tsk... What the hell is this?!"

Ushio Tetsu tried to struggle, but the vines tightened their grip.

A strong sense of suffocation surged up, and Ushio Tetsuya, feeling threatened for the first time, widened his eyes. Through his blurred vision, he saw in horror that a blonde girl dressed in pristine white was standing next to Yu Shuo...

"Bam—"

The vines vanished into thin air, and the nearly two-meter-tall Ushio Tetsu fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

You Shuo fanned himself with his hand and asked Ashley, "You should have spared his life, right?"

Ashley said with a hint of resentment, "What are you talking about? Do I look like someone who would kill people randomly?"

"That's good." You Shuo glanced at Niu Weizhe, who was convulsing on the ground, and turned to leave.

As we left the abandoned factory, the sun was higher in the sky.

As You Shuo was about to walk towards the school gate, he suddenly bumped into Katsuya Chengnouchi riding a bicycle.

This energetic, blond-haired boy wasn't in a hurry to go to school; he wanted to go to the nearby arcade for a couple of games.

After quickly passing by You Shuo, he suddenly paused and stopped his bicycle.

"Huh?! You Shuo?!"

"Where have you been these past two days?!"

"Everyone thought you had disappeared."

"The girls in the class are all very worried, especially Nosaka Miho!"

You Shuo smiled and said, "Some things came up these past two days, but they've all been resolved now."

Chapter 8 Let's go out for dinner tonight, Miho-kun

"What happened? Why haven't you come to school for two days?"

Katsuya Jonouchi was taken aback, but he didn't ask any further questions. After glancing at the time, he started pedaling his bicycle again.

"But I'm glad you're okay!"

"You Shuo, I'm leaving now!"

"When you get to school, be sure to let Nosaka Miho know you're safe!"

Katsuya Jonouchi, eager to get to the arcade, rode off in a flurry on his bicycle.

You Shuo turned his head to look at the school clock tower not far away.

Ushio Tetsu has already been dealt with.

Now, it's time to go back.

"clang--"

At seven o'clock in the morning, the school bell rang.

It's currently morning self-study and cleaning time, and there's still an hour before classes officially start.

Before You Shuo even entered the classroom, he could hear the argument between Masaki Kyoko and Nosaka Miho coming from inside.

"Kyoko, Kyoko!" Nosaka Miho pleaded, "Don't rush to move Yu Shuo's seat to the end! He'll definitely come back."

Kyoko Masaki said with exasperation, "That guy hasn't replied to your messages for two days, Miho!"

"Even if he really had something urgent, he should at least have sent you a text message!"

"It's best not to waste your time on someone who suddenly disappears without a word!"

Just then, Yugi Muto, who was trying to persuade him, suddenly looked up and stared blankly at the classroom door: "Yu, Yu Shuo-kun?! You're finally back!"

All eyes turned to them.

Nosaka Miho was startled, and when she turned her head and saw Yu Shuo, she became extremely excited: "Yu, Yu Shuo, where have you been? I haven't heard from you at all these past two days!!"

Miho Nosaka's eyes were a little red, but her face was filled with excitement and joy.

You Shuo took out two gift boxes from his backpack, first placing them in Nosaka Miho's hands, and then handing them to Masaki Kyoko: "I'm sorry, I've been kidnapped."

"It was only resolved today."

"I asked you to come with me to buy a gift before, and then you just disappeared."

"Consider this an apology and compensation, Ms. Kyoko."

Miho Nosaka was extremely worried: "Kidnapping?! Yu Shuo, are you alright?!"

Kyoko Masaki glared at her, even more furious: "You believe this nonsense? Kidnapping? Who kidnapped you? How did you escape?!"

You Shuo knew that Masaki Kyoko wouldn't believe it.

Just as he was about to give a proper explanation, Honda Hirokazu rushed back from outside the classroom.

"That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!"

Honda shouted loudly, looking utterly incredulous.

All eyes were drawn to him.

"Did you guys know? Ushio Tetsuya got killed! It was that disciplinary committee member!" Honda Hiroshi was sweating profusely, shaking his head in disbelief. "Just now, two classes arranged to fight at an abandoned factory nearby, but when they got there they found..."

"I found Ushio Tetsu lying on the ground!"

"That guy has been taken to the hospital."

Upon hearing this news, everyone in the class was both surprised and delighted.

Looking across the entire Domino Junior High School, apart from Seto Kaiba, no one can subdue Tetsuya Ushio.

That big, burly guy could easily take on even a whole class of boys at once.

Who on earth could possibly have managed to send Ushio Tetsuya to the hospital?!

What's encouraging is that Ushio Tetsu, the disciplinary committee member, often bullies his classmates and extorts protection money!

Now that he's been killed, everyone is relieved.

I just don't know which hero stepped in and rid everyone of this scourge?

In an instant, the entire class erupted in excitement, filled with a cacophony of discussions.

You Shuo remained silent.

Perhaps no one present knew the truth of the matter better than him.

He looked at Honda, who was panting heavily, and listened to him continue.

"I went and inquired about it."

"Ushio Tetsu has been obsessed with Duel Monsters cards these past two days and hasn't done anything else."

"The only thing I did was help a guy from another class named 'Ryota' get rid of his love rival."

"But I don't know what happened. It was Ushio Tetsu who was commissioned by Ryota, but he himself was beaten black and blue and was limping."

"Could it be... that Ushio Tetsu broke the rules and was therefore punished?"

Ryota?!

Upon hearing the name, Kyoko Masaki and Miho Nosaka instinctively looked at each other.

They both knew very well that Ryota was the square-faced, bespectacled man who had been pursuing Nosaka Miho.

The last time You Shuo confessed to Nosaka Miho, this guy happened to witness it.

Based on what You Shuo had just said, Nosaka Miho realized something and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Kyoko Masaki was also taken aback.

Tetsuya Ushio helps Ryota deal with his love rival...

Just two days ago, Ryota witnessed Yushuo confessing his feelings to Miho...

Could it be that what You Shuo said about being kidnapped was actually true?!

His disappearance these past two days was all because of those two guys, Ryota and Ushio Tetsu?!

"Are you...is what you're saying reliable, Honda?" Kyoko Masaki couldn't help but step forward to confirm.

Hiromichi Honda: "Of course, word has spread, and the whole school is talking about it!"

"Huh? You Shuo?"

"You're back! Where have you been these past few days?"

Just then, Katsuya Jonouchi walked into the classroom with breakfast in his mouth, a smile on his face, clearly having enjoyed the game.

"Hehe, I'm here!"

What are you talking about?

"Did something happen? Everyone at school seems so excited today."

Yugi Muto and Katsuya Jonouchi, who had been listening for a long time, gave a brief explanation.

When the oblivious Katsuya Jonouchi heard that Tetsuya Ushio had been killed, he immediately clapped and cheered. But then, when he heard that Tetsuya Ushio had been found in that abandoned factory that morning, he became extremely shocked and looked at Yu Shuo in astonishment.

"etc? !"

"That abandoned factory?!"

"I... I saw You Shuo come out of there this morning..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around looked at You Shuo, who had a calm expression on his face.

"What?!"

"You Shuo, you're the one who killed Niu Weizhe?!"

"You, you, you, how did you do that?"

"I never knew you, You Shuo, were such a good fighter!!"

Amid the gasps of surprise, You Shuo didn't respond. He simply smiled and said to Nosaka Miho, "Sorry, my phone is broken, so I haven't been able to message you for the past two days."

"Let me treat you to dinner after school tonight."

"Oh right, let's have Kyoko too."

"Although I didn't intend to disappear suddenly, I did stand you up."

"Consider this meal as compensation."

A blush rose on Nosaka Miho's face.

Kyoko Masaki's face turned even redder, and she still stared in shock.

So, therefore...

It is true that You Shuo was kidnapped.

She...she misunderstood You Shuo?

Chapter Nine: You don't want others to know about your off-campus job, do you?

After being away from school for a few days, You Shuo returned to find that the girls in his class had become much more fond of him.

I don't know if it's because I killed Ushio Tetsuya, or for some other reason.
