Chapter 207

Boom--!!

The Landmine Spider was instantly reduced to ashes by the flames.

"[Landmine Spider]'s original attack power is 2200 points, therefore it will deal 2200 points of damage to you through the Flame Wingman's effect."

"Ughhhhhhh!!"

[Labyrinth Brothers: LP1700→0]

The outcome is decided.

"How could this be...?"

"We actually lost to two students."

The two bald extras, the Labyrinth Brothers, knelt down on the ground, dejected.

"Well done, Judai!"

"You too, Asuka!"

Snap--!!

Judai excitedly high- Asuka in celebration.

"How could this be?! The legendary duelist actually lost?!"

Cronos staggered back a few steps in disbelief until he collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, Judai and Asuka looked at the bald Chancellor below the stage. "We won! So Asuka and I don't have to drop out of school, right?"

The portly Chancellor raised his hand and replied with a broad smile, "This duel was excellent, and I am very satisfied. Therefore, the school will rescind its expulsion decision."

"Yay! I can finally stay at school without worry, Asuka!"

"Yes, that's great, Judai."

Afterwards.

Judai and Asuka left together openly and gracefully, amidst the admiring gazes of everyone.

At the same time, Manjoume, whose face was ashen, also left the audience.

Seeing Cronos with Manjoume, he muttered in dissatisfaction, "Even legendary duelists can't beat him, and that Manjoume guy is useless. Looks like we'll have to find someone else to teach Yusei Fudo lesson."

After several failed attempts, the professor finally gave up on getting rid of Judai, since the man was too strong and difficult to deal with.

However, his obsession with defeating Judai remained, and he vowed to find someone who could defeat him.

Nothing major happened in the Judai during that period.

There are only a few particularly noteworthy events, such as: watching Jun Manjoume be defeated by Daichi Misawa and leave the academy in resentment, and playing cards with strange opponents like monkeys and Man-Made Person.

And most importantly, Judai and a certain jealous tennis player, who are both minor characters, compete for Asuka's fiancé status through a card game.

Of course, Judai and Asuka didn't take the bet to heart, but their relationship did improve.

In short, after a period of doing nothing, something truly interesting finally happened.

One day.

When Judai and Asuka passed by the school card shop together, they found a lot of people gathered inside.

Curious, Judai asked, "What happened?"

Asuka crossed her arms. "Haven't you heard?"

"What?"

Just then, a seemingly insignificant person in a yellow jacket standing to the side chimed in, "The Duel Academy will be holding a special exhibition of the first King of Games Yugi Muto's deck. You can tell by the posters on the wall."

Following the direction the man was pointing, Judai looked over and saw a wall full of posters that indeed displayed images of the Yugi.

His face lit up with great interest. "Really!"

Asuka nearby, covered her mouth and chuckled, "I never thought that the fearless Judai would have someone she admires."

Judai scratched his head sheepishly. "Haha, it's not so much admiration, it's more of curiosity and respect."

"My goal has always been to become the new King of Games someday and stand on the world stage to fight Yugi Muto."

"So I'm a bit curious about the deck he's going to exhibit."

Of course, it's not just that.

For some reason, he had always wanted to fight Yugi Muto. It wasn't about vying for the title of King of Duels; it was just a gut feeling that Yugi was the only person in the world who could truly be his opponent.

"By the way, which deck is being exhibited, Misawa?"

Judai turned to look at his side.

Upon hearing this, Daichi Misawa shook his head and replied, "I don't know... It's said that Yugi Muto, the King of Games, used too many deck sets, so I'm not sure which one it is."

"However, I suspect it might be a [Fantasy Beast] deck, which was the last set Yugi Muto used before his retirement."

Asuka nodded in agreement, saying, "That's what I think too."

At the same time, a duel was taking place inside the card shop.

A minor character with three tufts of hair hanging down his forehead, wearing a yellow coat.

The other was a short man wearing a red coat, with long blue hair and glasses.

I heard they're vying for the last tickets to Yugi deck exhibition.

The Ra Yellow -skinned extra, according to Misawa, is a duelist skilled in imitation named Kagurazaka. He's currently imitating Professor Chronos, manipulating the [Ancient Gear Golem] to attack Sho Marufuji, but the dwarf uses nonsense to activate the [Magic Cylinder] and kills him in return.

Judai stroked his chin and commented, "This guy named Kagurazaka's fighting style is interesting, but if he can only imitate and not adapt, it's normal for him to be targeted and lose."

Chapter Thirty: Deck Stolen

"Damn it! Why? Why can't I use it?"

That night, in a Yellow Dorm, Kagurazaka, remembering the humiliation her classmates had caused her during the day, angrily threw all the notes on the table onto the floor.

Especially when she thought about the mocking words she heard from the onlookers after losing to the trash from the Red Dorm, she couldn't help but slam her fist on the desk.

"I've studied all the decks of these famous duelists— Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba, Kaiser Ryo, and Cronos... I've memorized all their match records, so why can't I win? What's wrong?"

Kagurazaka kept asking herself why she couldn't win, and she thought of a certain jellyfish-headed guy whose fame was gradually growing at school, "And that Yusei Fudo, his [Masked HERO] deck was never even released, so without that part of the [Hero] deck, it's impossible to completely imitate it."

He was in great distress: 'I can accept the latter, but I've already mastered the first few quite well, so why am I still not getting it right? What am I missing?'

"Um?"

Just then, a poster inadvertently caught his eye.

"Yugi Muto... Right, if we want to confirm what's different, isn't this right here?"

Kagurazaka stared thoughtfully at the starfish head on the poster.

The college's Teaching Building.

"Judai, why did you ask me out so late?"

Asuka looked at Judai with some confusion.

Judai smiled and said, "At this time tonight, King of Games Yugi Muto's deck should have already arrived at the exhibition hall. Why don't we go take a look beforehand?"

"This..."

Asuka looked somewhat embarrassed.

Judai noticed her worry and continued, "This time they didn't forbid us from entering like they did in the old dorm, so maybe we can ask the staff if they'll let us take a look."

"Besides, we don't have tickets either. If we don't take this opportunity to go and see it, we'll miss out."

Asuka sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. "I just can't do anything with you..."

So the two of them walked into the Teaching Building side by side.

Not long after.

Judai and Asuka hurried toward the exhibition hall, just in time to see Daichi Misawa coming from the other side of the corridor.

"Hmm? Misawa?"

"Judai- nitsugu, Tenjo-in!"

The three of them stopped in the corridor outside the exhibition hall.

Seeing this, Judai raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Misawa, what's wrong? Are you here to look at the decks too?"

Misawa readily replied, "Hahaha, I couldn't wait, so I came early to take a look at the King's deck."

Asuka: "Judai had similar thoughts to you, so he asked me to come over."

Just as she finished speaking, a sharp sound suddenly came from inside the exhibition hall.

"Mamma mia--!!"

The three of them were immediately startled.

What was that sound just now?

"That voice...!"

"It's Professor Chronos, the Judai!"

After Misawa called out to Judai, the two of them ran together and quickly entered the exhibition hall to take a look.

Once inside, I took a look.

They found Cronos standing frantically in front of the broken display case.

"Eek--!?"

Cronos was startled by the sudden appearance of the three people.

"Professor Chronos?!"

"The decks in the display case are gone?"

"Could it be that, Professor Cronos, you...?"

Seeing the three men's suspicion, Cronos frantically waved his hands, "No, no, no..."

The Judai them turned around, ready to leave.

"Let's go and inform everyone first..."

After saying that, they quickly walked out of the exhibition hall.

"Wait a minute!"

Cronos, startled by Er, rushed forward and tackled Judai and Misawa.

Judai got up, annoyed. "What's going on?"

The professor's face turned pale with fear, and he immediately said, "If this gets out of hand, I will take responsibility."

Misawa: "So we need to hurry."

Asuka, who was standing to the side, nodded. "That's right, if the Chancellor finds out, you'll be fired."

"So you're saying I didn't do it! It wasn't me, it wasn't me!"

The professor was sweating profusely, his survival instinct was practically at its peak.

Judai said calmly, "We knew about this from the beginning."

"Huh?!"

Cronos was stunned.

"The professor must have had the key; there was no need for him to break the display case. Someone else stole the card set."

"Yes, yes..."

The professor awkwardly pulled a key from his pocket.
