Chapter 275
"My turn!"
"The Assault Witch directly attacks the player!"
Bang!
The Assault Witch fired another shot at Kenan, instantly wiping out his remaining tiny bit of health.
[Tyranno Kenzan: LP400→0]
After the duel, Judai returned to Asuka's side and continued fishing.
Kenan was filled with shame: 'It seems I truly underestimated the seniors of the Duel Academy. However, following Judai- senpai wouldn't be shameful, after all, he's a true powerhouse. Perhaps I can use this opportunity to further improve my strength!'
So he directly called out "Big Brother" to Judai.
"Huh?!" After a year, Judai was a little surprised to hear someone call him "big brother" again.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Sorry, I don't take underlings."
"Gah!?" Kenan was stunned.
Judai doesn't need a cheering underling, nor does he want someone running errands for him and Asuka while they're enjoying their time together, so forget it!
"Alright..." Kenan sighed and had no choice but to give up, then said dejectedly, "If you need Judai help, please don't hesitate to ask me!"
"Okay, I'll let you know if I really need you. You don't need to follow me around otherwise."
After saying that, Judai and Asuka ignored him and sat on the artificial riverbank to continue fishing and preparing for their picnic. Kenan and his gang left quietly without disturbing the two.
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit, secluded alley, Ryo Marufuji wandered around with a bewildered expression.
He had just participated in the Pro Duelist League, but unfortunately lost.
Just when Caesar was planning to use [Power Bond] to unleash a devastating attack and then use [Cyber End Dragon] to fight Edo Phoenix to the death, he was instead blocked by [Destiny HERO - Fear Man], which was suddenly summoned by Phoenix and killed Kaiser instead.
"Damn it! Do they think I, who was once one of the best in the academy, am just a clown?"
Ryo Marufuji slammed his fist on a roadside utility pole, venting his anger, hating his own powerlessness, and pondering how he could become stronger.
Just then, the sound of footsteps approached.
"Who?"
Ryo Marufuji watched the newcomer warily. He saw a minor character wearing a black cloak, dressed in a villainous outfit, and wearing glasses slowly walk over.
"I have witnessed your duel."
"How?"
"Heh~." The bespectacled extra adjusted his hat and said with a regretful expression, "I never expected the duel of the man known as Kaiser to be so boring!"
What are you trying to say?
The extra handed over a business card. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Monkey Enzan. I work as an assistant to duelists. Would you be interested in coming with me to see another world of dueling?"
"Another world?" Ryo Marufuji curiously took the business card.
Chapter 140 Rematch with Edo
Meanwhile, Edo Phoenix, the victor, was holding a press conference and giving interviews.
"Mr. Phoenix, you've broken your winning streak record again! Can you tell us why you chose to use the [Hero] deck this time? You've never used this deck in a match before, have you?"
"The Duel Academy I attended had duelists who used the [Hero] deck just like me. Although I originally built the [Hero] deck first, that duelist became quite famous in the academy."
"I heard he defeated Kaiser a while ago. If I beat Kaiser, wouldn't I be qualified to challenge that guy?"
"This time I'll issue the challenge using my real deck!"
As Edo spoke, he stopped facing the reporters and looked directly at the camera, his eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit. "Yusei Fudo of the Duel Academy, I hereby issue a formal challenge to you, who also uses the [Hero] deck. I will soon return to the Duel Academy, and then we shall truly settle this once and for all!"
"Mamma mia!"
"The duel between Edo Phoenix and Yusei Fudo is truly an unprecedented duel in the Duel Academy! Diaru!"
Cronos and Napoleon, who were keeping a close eye on Edo, were very excited. This was a great opportunity to promote the Duel Academy.
That evening, Judai and Asuka received a phone call from Cronos and the others.
"Judai, I didn't expect that Edo Phoenix would dare to openly challenge you after losing to you last time!" Asuka, lying on the bed, turned around and looked at Judai.
"He's probably still not giving up..." Judai closed his phone and guessed, "Last time, the deck he used was clearly [Destiny HERO]. The fact that he put [Destiny HERO] after [Elemental HERO] shows that he wasn't using his full strength then, so he probably wants to get revenge on me."
"But I didn't use my full strength either, so that person's plan is likely to fail again."
Asuka nodded slightly upon hearing this. "That's true..."
Then they continued doing naughty things with Judai.
Several days later, at night.
Rumble...!
Judai and Asuka were awakened by the roar of an airplane engine.
Duel Academy is not on any regular flight path, and planes are not usually seen flying over the academy. It is obvious that an unidentified plane flew over the academy!
And the fact that it happened at night suggests that something very likely went wrong.
"Something's up!"
Faced with this sudden change, Judai and Asuka quickly dressed, grabbed their Duel Disk and other items, and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came from—the teaching building!
A few minutes later, the two quickly arrived outside the teaching building.
Also present were several teachers and students, including Misawa, Manjoume, and Cronos, all curious about what had happened at the school this time.
The answer will be revealed soon...
"I didn't expect you to welcome me so warmly!"
A voice suddenly came from the side.
"Edo Phoenix?!" Judai immediately recognized the voice and frowned, demanding, "What brings you to the academy at this hour?"
Everyone looked wary.
At that moment, Edo emerged from the shadows and said, "I'm sorry, it seems you've misunderstood."
"I'm just too popular, and I was afraid of being surrounded by fans as soon as I arrived at the academy, so I chose such a beautiful night to come here. Don't worry about it."
"Oh, it was a misunderstanding! My Naonai!"
"You scared me! Diaru!"
Upon hearing Edo's explanation, the two teachers immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Edo turned his gaze to Judai and chuckled, "Judai, long time no see! You should know what I'm planning to do, right?"
"You want to settle things with me, huh?"
"Exactly! This time, I will use my true [Hero] deck to defeat your [Hero] deck!"
Upon hearing this, Judai narrowed his eyes slightly. "Alright, considering you're coming to the academy to challenge me in the middle of the night, I'll accept your challenge."
"Then I'll be waiting for you at the Duel Arena tomorrow morning, but there can't be any extra spectators besides your partner. After all, professional duelists don't just show off their skills in public."
"Heh~, whatever you want!"
So, after everyone got a good night's sleep in their dorms that night, they arrived at the academy's Duel Arena early the next morning.
The empty stands were occupied only by a few familiar faces, including the same people from last night, Asuka's two best friends, and Kenan who had come with Misawa.
"Is Judai really going to duel that guy?"
"This Edo is a top-tier professional player; it's likely to be a fierce battle!"
"But Judai beat him when school started, so there shouldn't be any problem this time either."
"Go for it, Judai!"
"..."
Judai and Edo quickly went up to the platform, ready for their duel.
Edo raised the Duel Disk and shouted, "Let's see who truly wields the Hero! Let's settle this, Judai!"
"Let's go then!"
Judai and Edo immediately began to engage in Duel Disk.
"Duel!!" ×2
[Yusei Fudo: LP4000]
[Edo Phoenix: LP4000]
"I'll take the first strike!"
After the duel began, Edo seized the first round.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Edo Phoenix hand cards: 5→6]
After drawing a card, Edo first placed the other card from his hand onto the Duel Disk, shouting, "Come on! [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude]!"
A flash of golden light appeared on the field, and the Diamond Dude who appeared last time made his reappearance.
[Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude: Defense 1600]
[Edo Phoenix hand cards: 6→5]
"Using [Destiny HERO] right off the bat... is she not going to hold back at all?" Judai muttered to himself, looking at the monster in front of him.
At that moment, Edo pointed to the Destiny HERO in front of him and shouted, "Diamond Dude's effect activated!"
"Check the top card of your deck. If it's a Normal Spell Card, apply that Spell Card's effect next turn."
After saying that, he quickly pulled out a card.
"The card I drew is Spell Card [Destiny Draw]!"
"The effect of this card is that you can only activate it by discarding one [Destiny HERO] card, and then draw two cards from your deck."
"However, because of the Diamond Dude's effect, that cost doesn't need to be paid, so I can draw two more cards directly next round."
Chapter 141 Clock Tower
After using the effect of Diamond Dude, Edo drew two more cards from his hand and revealed them. "Then I activate the Spell Card [Polymerization] to Polymerization [Destiny HERO - Disk Guy] in my hand with [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude] on the field."
Beside the Diamond Dude, a warrior with six discs attached to his body appeared and was swallowed up by the Polymerization vortex along with the former.
"The Polymerization condition is a [Destiny HERO] monster plus Dark Attribute Monster..."
Edo then waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, [Destiny HERO - Doomguy]!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a dazzling light burst forth from the center of the Polymerization vortex, and a warrior wearing a cloak and with two pairs of demonic horns on his head rushed out from the light, his ferocious body resembling a demon from hell.
[Destiny HERO - Doomguy - Attack Power 2000]
Then Edo placed another Spell Card on the field, "It's not over yet, activate the Field Spell [Hell Clock Tower]!"
[Edo Phoenix's hand cards: 5→2]
Swish!
As the Duel Disk read the card information, the surrounding environment changed rapidly in an instant, and the light in the entire Duel Arena dimmed, as if shrouded in a silent night.
Rumble...!!
