Chapter 298

What's going on?

What happened to Prince Zhai?

Faced with their doubts, Mishiu finally began to reveal her true feelings.

"The older brother has now become a person with two different personalities: a gentle face and a demonic face (Facial Art) that brings him pleasure by leading the world toward destruction. Most of the time, he is dominated by the evil personality."

Upon hearing this, Judai stepped forward and asked, "Then is the recently emerged Society of Light also due to this personality's interference?"

Mishiu nodded slightly and replied, "I'm afraid so. That Evil Light Power was undoubtedly bestowed by that personality."

"My brother and I have had the ability to see other people's future destinies since we were little. Back then, we were young and ignorant, and we revealed this ability to those around us. People were afraid and distanced themselves from us..."

Listening to Mishiu's account, Judai couldn't help but feel pity, while Edo felt the same way. Since his father's death, no one dared to approach him, and he understood the feeling of being ostracized.

Mishiu's recollection continues. "My brother and I depended on each other for survival, wandering around, but thanks to our divination abilities, we still managed to find a place to stay."

"However, one day, my brother changed. A customer who came for a fortune telling brought a card, and I sensed an ominous power emanating from it. Although I told my brother to throw the card away, but... he had already been controlled by it."

"And that card is a terrifying and evil Hero Card, possessing the evil root that leads the universe to destruction!"

Upon hearing her description, Edo rushed forward and asked urgently, "Could it be that the card is the [Destiny HERO] card that was taken from Father? Is that card currently in the possession of the Prince of Sai?"

"No..." Mishiu denied his guess. "The card disappeared after it took control of my older brother."

"What?"

While the two were still processing what had happened, the virtual world suddenly began to tremble, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

And that is indeed the case.

"The program has begun to crash. You two should get out of here immediately!"

As soon as Mishiu finished speaking, a portal connecting to the consciousness of reality appeared beside her.

"You can leave now, Judai, Edo!"

Judai: "Uh, what's wrong, Mishiu?"

"This is a program I designed specifically for this purpose. I want to digitize my soul and make it something to protect my elder brother. This has nothing to do with the outcome of the duel."

"Mishiu..."

"You..."

Her resolute demeanor left Judai and Edo unsure how to stop her.

"I'm counting on you now, Yusei Fudo, Edo Phoenix. Please use your power to save my kind brother and stop the Wheel of Destiny that is leading to the destruction of the world!"

After saying that, she quickly transformed into data and merged into the virtual world.

Moved by her determination, Judai readily agreed, "I promise you, with the power of myself and Edo, we will definitely rescue Saiou!"

He then followed Edo through the tunnel back to reality.

As the virtual world became completely empty, a boy's muttering voice rang out.

"What a good little sister. I'll have Seto send Seto to take good care of her physical body in the real world."

After he said that, the rudimentary virtual space collapsed rapidly.

After regaining Real World, Judai and Edo asked Kaiba Corporation for help in rescuing Mishiu, but after being told that someone had been arranged to take care of her, they left with a sense of relief.

As for the four extras that Mishiu lost, they all woke up and returned to the normal world of ordinary people.

Three days later, Judai and the other teachers and students of the Duel Academy finished their school trip and returned to the Duel Academy by cruise ship. Edo believed that Saiou would continue to target Judai, so he also went to the Duel Academy.

"I never expected so many things to happen on a school trip. You must have had a tough time, Judai."

As soon as he returned to his familiar dormitory, Judai lay down and received Asuka's gentle care.

"Yes, whether it's the matter of Saiō or the Society of Light, things are starting to look promising. Now we should figure out how to resolve these troubles one by one."

For the next two weeks, Duel Academy was quiet. Principal Samejima had not returned, and Saiou made no other moves.

However, the fact that Saiō doesn't cause trouble doesn't mean that the Judai doesn't have to do anything.

And so, the method for dealing with the Society of Light that was proposed to the interim Chancellor Cronos has finally been implemented today.

The requirement is that at least one person must defeat Judai in a duel, otherwise the dormitory will be abolished.

So all the students who joined the Society of Light gathered at the dueling practice arena, while Judai stood alone below, facing this large group of people.

Several familiar faces were already seated in the front row of the stands, watching the game.

"Is he serious? Is Judai really going to take on the entire Society of Light all by himself?" Daichi Misawa muttered to himself in disbelief.

Asuka nodded. "It's true. This was decided before the school trip."

Manjoume looked annoyed. "That Judai guy really loves to show off..."

Even Edo was speechless. "He dares to do something so thankless and exhausting. I really don't know what he's thinking?"

Before long, Judai casually stood on a Duel Arena, tilted his head back, and shouted at the Society of Light with a disdainful attitude, "Come on, you weaklings, challenge me with all your might!"

"One-on-one, a tag-team battle, or a group fight—it doesn't matter. Your fate is the same: I'll crush you all!"

"Yusei Fudo, you've really gone too far!"

How dare you!

"Don't get too cocky!"

"..."

Judai's taunt instantly ignited the fury of everyone in the Society of Light.

Cronos, who was standing by at all times, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his face. "Oh my god~, Judai- kun has really been suppressed for too long lately~ she's Naonai."

And Judai did indeed intend to take this opportunity to go on a wild spree.

Alright, who will be the first brave challenger?

Chapter 178 The Arrogant Frog Emperor

"Let me meet you first, Yusei Fudo!"

A short man with blue hair was the first to step forward.

"Uh, how could it be you...?" Judai's lips twitched as he looked at the short man in front of him.

"Even you from the Red Dorm have joined the Society of Light, Sho Marufuji?"

That's right, the person who appeared was none other than Sho Marufuji, the real bottom-ranked student in the Red Dorm.

Upon hearing this, Edo asked in confusion, "Sho Marufuji? What's his relationship with Ryo Marufuji?"

Asuka nodded and replied, "Sho Marufuji is indeed Ryo's biological younger brother, but..."

Misawa added, "However, Sho Marufuji is far less capable than his brother, and he's also very cowardly. He's a notorious good-for-nothing in the Red Dorm, teetering on the brink of expulsion."

He was also a loser who wanted to recognize Judai as his Judai brother but failed. It's just that he joined the Society of Light at some point.

However, after joining the white army, this disgusting piece of shit also became arrogant, daring to face Judai, the true number one in the academy.

"Hahahaha, after receiving Lord Saiō's blessing, I am no longer the person I once was. Regret your arrogance! I will repay you for all the humiliation you inflicted upon me, Yusei Fudo!"

"Ugh... I never noticed before, is Sho Marufuji such a disgusting person? He even wanted to acknowledge me as his older brother at first, is his heart really that twisted?"

Judai's feelings are shared by everyone; not only are his grades and abilities poor, but his personality is also so dark and petty.

Previously, they might not have noticed because they were too cowardly, but now, after Mind Control, that dark side has been magnified, making it utterly disgusting.

Even Judai felt it was beneath him to be an opponent like that.

'Fine, let's teach him a lesson!'

Judai was already letting him off the hook out of consideration for Ryo Marufuji. He'd deal with this piece of shit first, then stay away from him and let him fend for himself.

"Alright, let's begin. The abolition of the Society of Light will start with you, Sho Marufuji!"

"Hmph, what utterly arrogant talk!!"

The two set up their decks and then began playing.

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yusei Fudo: LP4000]

[Sho Marufuji: LP4000]

"I'll make the first move!"

Judai didn't hold back and won the first round directly.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5→6]

After glancing through his hand, Judai first threw out one of his cards, saying, "First, I activate the Spell Card [Double Summon] from my hand. I can perform two Normal Summon this turn."

Then, he placed the other card he had drawn onto the Duel Disk.

"I summon [Yomi Frog] in Attack Position."

Buzz!

A flash of white light appeared on the field, and a frog with wings on its back and a halo above its head was projected.

[Yomi Frog: Attack Power 100]

"Yomi Frog? Judai his deck?"

"Learning from Princess Rose and playing with a frog deck?"

"Who knows..."

Just as his companions began to discuss it, Sho Marufuji below became enraged.

"A weak monster with an attack power of 100? Are you underestimating me?"

"So what if it is?"

"You!!"

Judai ignored the other's anger and continued to play the next card.

"I offer the [Yomi Frog] on the field as a sacrifice to summon [Fire Emperor Testarossa] in Attack Position!"

Immediately, the Yomi Frog disappeared from the field amidst a burst of light, and then a blazing fire suddenly erupted on the field, gradually revealing a giant clad in bronze armor.

[Fire Emperor Testarossa: Attack Power 2400]

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 6 → 3]

That's right, Judai is using the famous Frog Emperor deck from back in the day.

"It's actually Emperor Deck?"

"That's quite unexpected..."

The audience members had seen Judai play against the Emperor Deck before, so they were all a bit surprised except for Asuka.

After returning to the academy, Asuka learned about this incident. Judai said he had forgotten to return the cards, but she strongly suspected that he had embezzled them.

Ahem! Anyway, let's skip the specific reasons for now...

At this moment, pointing to the giant on the field, Na said, "When the Tribute Summon the Flame Emperor is successful, the opponent discards one card from their hand. If the discarded card is a monster card, deal damage to the opponent equal to the monster's level multiplied by 100."

"What?!" Sho Marufuji's confident expression froze.

"Discard the middle card..."

"Tch!" Sho Marufuji clicked his tongue and threw the card into the graveyard.

[Sho Marufuji's hand cards: 5→4]

The card image was also displayed in Judai's eyes. "The discarded card is [Armored Machine Armor Electra], level eight, therefore you will suffer 800 points of damage."

Emperor Yan raised his right hand, and a ball of flame shot towards Sho Marufuji.

Boom--!!

"Waaaaah--!!"

[Sho Marufuji: LP4000→3200]
