Chapter 285
Seeing the gloomy expression on the other person's face, Judai scratched his head helplessly: 'She really does like the Frog Prince...!'
Even after the battle phase ended, Judai did not end the turn.
He then played a Spell Card: "Equip Spell [Re- Polymerization] activated, pay 800 Life Points, Special Summon a Polymerization from your Graveyard, and equip this card."
[Yusei Fudo: LP1300→500]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 4 → 3]
"Rise, Sky Neo-HERO!"
A beam of white light suddenly shot out from the opening in the graveyard on the Judai Duel Disk, and Sky Neo-HERO reappeared before everyone's eyes, passing through the light.
"Furthermore, according to the Sky Neo-HERO's effect, its attack power increases the difference in our health points."
[Elemental HERO Air Neos: Attack Power 2500 → 5200]
Asuka couldn't help but worry. "Because the difference in health points has widened again, Sky Neo-HERO's attack power has increased further, but this means Judai's health points are practically hanging by a thread!"
"It's not over yet..." Judai said, throwing out another card from his hand. "Quick-Play Spell [Armed Rebirth] activated. Re-equip [Super Synthesis] from the Graveyard to Sky Neo-HERO."
"Based on the effect of [Super Synthesis], Sky Neo-HERO doesn't need to activate its effect to return to the deck during the End Phase."
Then, a passage connecting to the Neo Space reappeared beneath Neo-HERO's feet, stabilizing its existence.
"Finally, set one card face down to end the turn."
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 3 → 1]
The control has shifted back to Rose.
"In the end, this is all you can do. Use your defeat to atone for the sin of hurting the prince!"
Judai:...
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Princess Rose hand cards: 1→2]
After glancing at her hand, Rose smiled confidently, "Just watch, Your Highness, victory is ours!"
Without hesitation, she placed the card on the field. "Field Spell [Wetlands] activated!"
As the Duel Disk reads the card information, the surrounding scenery rapidly changes, instantly transforming into a lush, moist grassland suitable for frogs to inhabit.
"As long as this card is on the field, all Level 2 or lower WATER monsters gain 1200 ATK."
[D.D. Crow: Attack power 1000 → 2200]
[Princess Rose hand cards: 2 → 1]
Chapter 156 Travel Destination Confirmed
Then Rose placed her last card onto the Duel Disk: "I summon [Royal Frog] in Attack Position, and its ATK increases by 1200 according to [Wetlands]'s effect!"
Buzz!
A flash of light appeared on her screen, projecting a purple frog with a single horn on its head.
'Quack--!'
[Royal Frog: Attack Power 400 → 1600]
[Princess Rose hand cards: 1 → 0]
"[Royal Frog] can directly attack the opponent's player, and if the attack is successful, and you also have a [Royal Frog] on your field, you can destroy one Spell/ Trap Card on the opponent's field."
"Your life points are down to 500. Even your monster can't be protected. It's over!"
Rose then swung her arm and shouted, "[Royal Frog] Direct attack on the player!"
After she gave the command, the Royal Frog immediately leaped forward with its single horn and charged towards Judai.
Upon seeing this, Judai quickly pressed the button to face down the card. "Sorry, I'll take the victory in this duel!"
"What did you say?" Rose was taken aback by her words.
The face-down card beneath Judai's feet instantly opened. "Activate Trap Card, [A Powerful Enemy Blocking the Way]!"
"When the opponent's monster declares an attack, all Attack Position monsters on the opponent's field must attack the monster I designate."
"Your favorite Frog Prince's rival is none other than Sky Neo-HERO!"
"How could this be...!?"
"Welcome it, Sky Neo-HERO, Sky Wing!"
As soon as Judai finished speaking, Sky Neo-HERO flapped its wings again, unleashing two energy blades that retaliated against the approaching enemy.
The Royal Frog was instantly cleaved into three pieces by the air blade, and before it could even scream, it exploded into dust with a bang.
"Ah--!"
[Princess Rose: LP3200→0]
As the duel ended, Princess Rose collapsed to the ground.
"I won! Uh... I think I went too far..." Judai felt like he was bullying a girl.
At that moment, Rose stood up and made a face at Judai: "Hmph! That kind of hero isn't cool at all. My prince is so much better!"
After saying that, she ignored Judai and turned to leave.
Judai:...
"She's definitely a strange girl, but it seems like Saiou didn't affect her as much as the others. That strange power dissipated completely after the duel."
Judai muttered to himself with a strange expression, "Could it be that some prince is really protecting her?"
Just then, Judai saw a frog dressed as a prince floating on Rose's shoulder.
"Uh... there really are such things as the Frog Prince..."
Since she has elves protecting her, that's understandable.
Shortly after, Cronos, acting as the Acting Principal, stood up and announced, "I declare the winner of this duel to be, Yusei Fudo ~ Naonai!"
"As he suggested, the destination for this school trip is the Duel Holy Land 'Domino City' ~ Naonai!'"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in applause and cheers.
"Judai is indeed the strongest in the academy! Even Rose-senpai was defeated by him!"
"Long live Judai! Now we can go to the Duel Holy Land! Egyptian God Cards War, please let me see Yugi Muto in person! I want him to sign my favorite card!"
"..."
Of course, the students from the Society of Light left with gloomy faces, because they had failed to complete the task given to them by Saiou.
On the other side, the King of the West was still fiddling with the Tarot Cards on the table.
"So it really is Domino City...!?" After hearing the report from the Society of Light, Saiou's mood finally improved a little.
"By observing ordinary people, we can indeed see some general trends, and the direction of this divination is largely correct!"
So he continued to flip through the Tarot Cards, trying to figure out Judai's movements by divining the characters who might appear.
Let's turn our attention back to the Duel Academy.
After the duel Judai and Princess Rose ended, Judai and Asuka did not leave, but instead followed Cronos and Coach Napoleon to the conference room.
Now that the specific travel destination has been determined, the two teachers need to develop a detailed plan as soon as possible.
"Thanks to Judai, he dealt with these troublemakers through a duel, which was a huge help to us!"
Cronos was all smiles. Although the destination of the school trip was not Italy, the resolution of the dispute made the subsequent work much easier.
"I'm a student representative. Helping the college solve some problems is nothing, just a small favor."
Judai waved his hand as he spoke, then took the opportunity to offer his own thoughts.
"Professor, I think you've all noticed how strange these people who joined the Society of Light are, haven't you?"
Upon hearing this, Cronos and Napoleon exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, Naonai! I also feel like they've been getting into more and more trouble lately, and even the other normal students are starting to get dissatisfied! Naonai!"
"And they even changed the Blue Dorm into White Dorm, showing absolutely no respect for the teachers! Diaru!"
Judai & Asuka:...
It's clear that these two are also annoyed by these people.
Judai coughed twice, then said, "Therefore, my suggestion is that I solve this problem, defeat them all, and completely negate the existence of the Society of Light."
"You mean you want to fight them all?! Naonai?!" Cronos's voice rose several decibels in surprise.
Judai nodded. "That's right!"
Asuka, standing nearby, was also startled. "Judai, are you trying to make enemies of the entire dorm? There are so many of them, are you really sure it's okay?"
"Yeah, are you really capable of handling this, Diaru?"
Judai replied confidently, "No problem!"
Upon hearing this, Cronos said thoughtfully, "Could these students be influenced by the Dark Duel?"
Having dealt with Judai for so long, he had long since come to believe in the existence of these unscientific things, hence the question.
"Perhaps it should be called Light Duel. In the previous duel, I sensed that it wasn't Dark Power, but some kind of light force, and I discovered that it seems only I can break their Mind Control state."
"Asuka has fought them before, but she couldn't bring them back to normal."
Asuka nodded; it seemed that was indeed the case.
"So what's your plan~ to Naonai?"
At this moment, Judai's lips curled up slightly as he smiled and said, "After we return to the academy from the school trip, you should inform them, in the name of the Acting Principal, that if they don't find a way to defeat me, you should directly reject the existence of the White Dorm. That way, you'll attract all their attention, and it would be best to resolve this once and for all."
"Oh my god~, you're practically provoking us all!"
However, after thinking about it, Cronos decided to let Judai do the job, since there really wasn't a good way to do it if Saiou didn't show up.
Chapter 157 Return to Domino City, Sugoroku Muto is kidnapped!?
On the day of their school trip, Judai and the others arrived in Domino City early in the morning by cruise ship.
"You're free to do whatever you want today, Naonai!"
Cronos said that because the Society of Light had just mentioned that it was Saiou's arrangement to split up with the Academy's team.
Without the members of the Society of Light, the number of students decreased by more than half, and the teachers' enthusiasm waned considerably. So they simply let the remaining students find somewhere to play on their own.
"Seriously, what's going on with that Society of Light?"
"Well, it's not like this just started happening now; it's just that all the initial plans have been disrupted. It's really a headache."
Ignoring Misawa and Kenan's complaints, Judai, under the envious gazes of some admirers, pulled Asuka towards the place they had originally planned to go.
We arrived at Kame Game Shop.
Judai was most familiar with the destination, and under his guidance, he and Asuka became the first students to arrive.
"Is the Yugi back?"
Hearing the commotion outside, Sugoroku Muto came out from inside the door.
"Long time no see, Mr. Sugoroku!"
At this moment, Sugoroku also noticed their arrival.
"Oh, it's you, young man!"
He noticed Judai immediately.
"You two actually know each other?"
Asuka was genuinely surprised by what she saw.
