Chapter 192
Judai quickly composed himself.
"Yeah!?"
Let her just accept that as it is.
"Alright, that's enough for today. I should go back and rest. You should all go back too, Asuka."
The Judai sat down, preparing to row away.
"It's time to go back and rest. See you tomorrow, Judai."
Asuka bids farewell to Judai, who is preparing to leave.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After saying goodbye, Judai rowed away without looking back.
On the day of the exam.
"Finally finished the exams, I almost missed it..."
Judai collapsed from exhaustion after finishing the written exam.
"You really do know how to be late, Yusei Fudo."
A boy wearing the Ra Yellow came up to Judai.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Last time it was a problem with the trams, and this time we've encountered people in trouble."
Judai remembered the plump auntie pushing her cart that had run out of gas that morning.
"Speaking of which, I remember your name is..."
The boy and Judai locked eyes.
"Sotatsu Tenku!"
Judai slammed his fist down.
--Bang!
The boy immediately lost his balance.
"Um... my name is Daichi Misawa..."
Misawa said, somewhat speechless.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I felt like you weren't very noticeable, I couldn't remember your name."
Judai said with an apologetic expression.
"I'm really sorry that I'm not very noticeable."
Misawa was a bit overwhelmed.
"Ah... speaking of which, Misawa, what brings you here?"
Judai had no choice but to awkwardly change the subject.
"It's nothing, I just came to say hello. After all, you're one of the biggest competitors in this academy. Besides, we just got a lot of new cards at the convenience store at noon, don't you want to go check them out?"
Misawa suggested this to Judai.
"My deck is basically finalized, so whether there are new cards or not doesn't matter. What about you, Misawa?"
The Judai asked in return.
"Me too."
Misawa shrugged.
"But buying some new cards wouldn't be bad, why don't we go take a look..."
After thinking about it, Judai decided to go anyway.
"Never mind, I'll go back and organize my deck for this afternoon's practice match."
Misawa refused.
"Then I'll take my leave."
With that, Judai stood up, waved to Misawa, and turned to leave.
"Huh? It's gone?"
The sales assistant told me that the Judai new card was sold out, and that it had been bought up by one person.
Somewhat disappointed, Judai prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
A plump middle-aged woman walked out from inside.
"Ah! It's that lady from the morning!"
The Judai recognized the person who had come.
"I'm not an old lady anymore, call me Tome."
Tome said kindly to Judai.
"Compared to this, I've saved something better for you."
Afterwards Judai bought the new card pack left by Tome, and couldn't wait to open it after receiving it.
--[Berserker Soul], [Kuriboh's Call Flute], [Wing of United]...
It's basically a card that comes with Winged Kuriboh.
It's not very practical; it's only good for entertainment.
"Anyway, thank you, Aunt Tome."
After thanking him, the Judai left.
In the afternoon's practical session.
"Huh--! My opponent is Manjoume!? Is this allowed by the rules?"
Judai was quite confused after learning who his opponent was.
"With such excellent results in the entrance exam, you can't really compete with the students of Osiris Red. Therefore, I've decided that Manjoume is the more suitable opponent for you. Of course, if you win, you'll be promoted to Ra Yellow. So, what do you think? Yusei Fudo, do you want to take this exam?"
Cronos, who was preparing to cause trouble, explained to Judai.
"Sure, I accept, but I'll pass on the Ascendant Ra Yellow."
The Judai only accepts challenges.
Why not go up?
Cronos was also dumbfounded.
"Because the yellow jacket is too ugly."
Judai immediately started criticizing it.
"Forehead..."
Cronos was speechless for a moment, and almost everyone's mouth twitched, especially the students of Ra Yellow, who were also aware that the coats they were wearing were ugly.
"Ahem... So you accept the decision Manjoume?"
He had no choice but to hide his embarrassment and confirm with Judai.
"That's right."
Judai nodded.
"Alright, let's settle this score."
Even Manjoume had forgotten his lesson, accepted it.
"Then let's go, Manjoume!"
Then, Judai and Manjoume engaged in Duel Disk.
Chapter Nine Alliance
"Duel!!" ×2
[Yusei Fudo: LP4000]
[Jun Manjoume: LP4000]
"I'll go first, draw a card!"
Judai drew a card first.
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5→6]
He first placed one of his cards into the graveyard.
"First, I activate the effect of [Elemental HERO Captain Gold] from my hand."
You can activate this effect by discarding this card from your hand to the Graveyard. Add 1 [Skyscraper] from your Deck to your hand.

After Judai received the card, he placed another card onto the Duel Disk.
"Then I summon [Elemental HERO Clayman] from my hand in Defense Position."
The Clayman is squatting in front of Judai with its arms crossed.
[Elemental HERO Clayman: Defense 2000]
"Finally, two cards are set face down. My turn is over."
Judai quickly ended his turn.
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 6 → 3]
"Elemental HERO Clayman 2000 Defense!? Trying to deal with my attacks like you did with Professor Chronos?"
Manjoume he had seen through Judai's tricks.
"The same trick won't work on me. My turn, draw a card!"
[Jun Manjoume: 5→6]
"Let me show you my evolved deck."
Manjoume draws one of his cards.
"I summon [V-Jet Tiger] from my hand in Attack Position."
A mechanical tiger was projected onto the Manjoume.
[V-Jet Tiger: Attack Power 1600]
"[V-Jet Tiger]... Ally Deck!?"
Judai immediately recognized what deck Manjoume was using.
"Tsk! You even know that. Well then, I'll continue with the Quick-Play Spell [Unlicensed Restart]."
You can target 1 Machine-Type monster you control; equip that monster with 1 Machine-Type Ally monster from your hand or Deck. The Ally monster equipped by this effect cannot be Special Summoned this turn.
"I will equip [W-Catapult Wing] from my deck to [V-Jet Tiger] as an Equip Card that increases its ATK and DEF by 400."
A blue wing appeared and merged with the mechanical tiger.
[V-Jet Tiger: Attack power 1600→2000]
"Then I activated the Continuous Spell [X·Y·Z Fusion] from my hand."

He now has an extra Continuous Spell on his board.
[Jun Manjoume: 6 → 3]
