Chapter 314

Ignoring Saiou's anger, Mishiu reminded Judai, "Alright, 'Sky' is no longer controlled by the Light of Destruction. Now, use the duel to expel it from your brother's body, Judai."

"I see..."

Judai nodded, then waved his hand at the opposite side and roared, "It's time to end this! Neo-HERO, attack Saiou... no, attack the Light of Destruction directly! Neo-Spiral!"

At his command, Ultraman leaped out and delivered a chop to Saiou.

"Hmph! Ahh..."

[Takuma Saio: LP1700→0]

"It's over..."

The King of the West's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his face bulged and twitched wildly.

"There's only one reason you failed, Light of Destruction, a very simple reason: because you angered me."

Judai held him up and did not search for Qun:℃◇∨ Temple′ˉ Neighbor^∧∨!⌒∶_↓private hat.

"This shouldn't be happening! No!!!"

At this moment, the consciousness clone of the King of the West, or rather, the Light of Destruction, was utterly desperate. In the blink of an eye, it was extracted from the King of the West's body, turning into countless points of light and disappearing completely.

The Light of Destruction was finished, and the facial muscles of the Takuma Saio suddenly relaxed. His crazed and ferocious face slowly returned to normal, and his wild blue hair fell back down his back. However, it seemed that all his energy and spirit had been drained away.

"Thank you..." In the brief moment when he regained some consciousness, he managed to utter these two words to Judai before his vision went black and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Seeing Judai's victory, the anxious viewers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great! We won!"

"Phew, I knew it! Judai wouldn't lose to someone like that!"

"Well done, Judai!"

Amidst a joyful clamor, Mishiu's illusory image appeared, bowing to Judai: "Brother has returned to his former self, thank you, Judai!"

"Mishiu, what about you?"

"I should wake up in reality soon, and we'll definitely meet again."

After saying that, Mishiu's image turned into specks of light and disappeared.

The battle against the Light of Destruction has finally come to an end.

After that, Principal Samejima and Pegasus arranged for people to clean up the mess, carefully carrying away the still unconscious Saiou.

Edo, worried about his best friend, left with him, giving up the still-concluded GX Tournament, while the others returned to participate in the competition as scheduled.

As for that Prince Extra caused a huge mess, he's been forgotten in some corner of the world.

The GX Tournament proceeded as scheduled over the next few days.

After Edo withdrew from the tournament, he no longer had any particularly heavyweight opponents; it was basically just internal battles between Jaden and the Judai from the Duel Academy.

Since everyone knew each other well and was familiar with each other's abilities, they weren't very motivated during the match. As expected, Judai and Asuka fought to the final match.

Since the two were a couple, neither of them had much enthusiasm for playing cards, so Asuka simply surrendered.

So Judai easily won the championship, ending this GX Tournament.

Chapter 205 New Semester, Transfer Student

As always, the annual freshman orientation ceremony was held in the college auditorium at the start of the new semester.

Despite Principal Samejima's boring speech, Judai felt sleepy and, ignoring the stares of others, buried her head in Asuka's arms and fell asleep.

After delivering his usual bureaucratic speech, the bald-headed Chancellor finally got to the point. "Next, this year I asked the Duel Academy's Chancellor (whom I didn't recognize) to help us welcome some new students from the outer academies!"

"They are all top students from their respective departments, who came here to study in pursuit of the pinnacle of dueling!"

As the bald-headed Chancellor finished speaking, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at Judai, who was lying in Asuka's arms, hoping that this tournament champion wouldn't be too discouraging for the freshmen...

"Recently, challengers who came seeking fame and fortune all arrived full of confidence, only to leave dejected and disheartened; some even seemed to have lost all will to live and questioned the meaning of life."

It's probably because Judai won too easily, and his self-esteem was hurt...

The bald Chancellor quickly composed himself and coughed, "Then let's begin the introductions!"

"First up is the representative of the Duel Academy East Campus, Amon Garham!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bespectacled young man with a string of Buddhist prayer beads around his neck, who looked quite amiable, walked in amidst applause. He waved to everyone, then glanced casually in the direction of Judai, seemingly lost in thought.

"Austin O'Brien, representative of the West Campus of the Duel Academy!" (A reliable teammate number one)

The African mercenary with large lips walked in expressionlessly, without saying hello, but he subconsciously glanced at Judai.

"And also, the representative from the Duel Academy South Campus, Jim Claudel Cook!" (A reliable second teammate)

A cowboy carrying a female alligator strode up. As for why it was a female alligator... putting aside why alligators have eyelashes, wouldn't a man be disgusted carrying a male on his back?

"That crocodile is alive, right? Naonai?"

"It seems so~ Diaru!"

Principal Samejima ignored the two teachers' reactions and continued, "Finally, we have John Anderson, the representative of the Duel Academy North Campus!"

Then a shy blue-haired boy came out.

Manjoume "Lightning" coldly stared at the blue-haired boy on the stage, "John Anderson? Could it be John who owns the Crystal Beasts deck?"

"Do you know this person, Manjoume -kun?" Asuka, sitting in front, turned her head curiously and asked.

Her movements also woke Judai, who yawned and then sat up.

Suppressing his jealousy, Manjoume explained to her, "The Manjoume Group once offered a high price to purchase the [Crystal Beasts] card from the Industrial Illusions. Ancient documents discovered by the Industrial Illusions record that the Roman Empire once possessed seven priceless gems."

"These gems were later salvaged along with a merchant ship that sank to the bottom of the sea. Pegasus eventually obtained them and made them into seven cards."

"Those seven cards are the [Crystal Beasts]?"

Manjoume nodded and continued, "That's right. President Pegasus didn't sell these cards for money; instead, he gave them to a young man who won a certain tournament."

"Is that boy the one standing on the podium named John Anderson?"

"I'm afraid so..."

"Hey~~, he's got quite a background..." After listening to Manjoume's description, Judai looked curiously at the blue-haired boy on the podium.

' Crystal Beasts... I remember its universal effect is that when destroyed, it's set as Continuous Spell on the field...'

It's a fairly interesting series, but the deck's strength is more for fun, and since Manjoume said that person only has seven cards, he didn't take it too seriously.

The boy seemed to notice Judai 'Judai gaze and waved in his direction.

"Ah, interesting."

At the same time, the bald Chancellor pointed to a burly, middle-aged man with a hairstyle that looked like a general's mane and introduced him, "Besides the transfer student, I also want to introduce another person, Professor Cobra (Cobra), who was specially invited from the West Campus this year!"

"Naonai! Another professor has arrived at the Duel Academy?"

"Diaru! Another competitor has emerged. Don't you dare stand in my way of getting promoted!"

"Snort..."

Professor Cobra ignored the two goofballs beside him and walked straight to the front. "Nice to meet you all! I was going to greet you here, but even if I did, you wouldn't improve!"

"What the hell! That arrogant guy!"

"Who does he think he is? He came in acting like a boss!"

The students were very unhappy with this guy who started off by showing off. "So what if he has a horn? Go ahead and poke me to death!"

"Hmph, compared to boring topics, practical experience is more useful—that's my teaching principle!"

"Hmph~~, is this guy a pragmatist? He's so straightforward..." Judai muttered, resting his chin on his hand.

Professor Cobra ignored the protests of the weak. "Therefore, in order to implement this policy as soon as possible, let's hold a demonstration duel right here!"

"A demonstration match!?"

"I've never heard of such a thing before~ Naonai?"

"This... Professor Cobra..." Principal Samejima hesitated. Although there wasn't anything wrong with Fu's teaching method, having a duel during the freshman ceremony was... well, maybe it wasn't entirely out of the question?

The Chancellor, unaware of the ulterior motives, became interested and tacitly allowed him to continue.

Professor Cobra, his face taut, muttered to himself, "I will decide the opponents myself..."

He pointed at the bewildered John in an unyielding tone. "John Anderson!"

"Ha?"

"And... his opponent, Yusei Fudo!"

Whoa--!!

Upon hearing Judai's name, the academy's auditorium erupted in an uproar.

"Oh, is Judai going to have another duel? He's never experienced defeat before!"

"That's great! Judai- senpai is the champion of the GX Tournament!"

"To be chosen as Judai's rival by the new professor, that guy named John must be pretty good."

"This is going to be interesting!"

"..."

Whether they were upperclassmen or freshmen who had heard of the Judai's name, everyone was filled with anticipation.

Faced with everyone's high expectations, Judai scratched his cheek helplessly, "Being too famous isn't always a good thing. Whenever something happens, it always ends up on me..."

"Heh, well, that's what happens when you always win."

At Asuka's teasing, Judai reluctantly stood up from his seat.

Chapter 206 Judai VS John

"Yusei Fudo and admired your great name for a long time!"

John extended his right hand toward Judai, who had just stepped onto the podium.

"John, right? Hello!" Judai politely shook the hand offered by the other party.

"Yes, yes, hello!" John excitedly grasped Jaden's hands with Judai, pleased with the response. "I've always wanted to duel someone as strong as you!"

"Uh... is that so... then, nice to meet you?"

Please give me your guidance!

Seeing how familiar the other person was, Judai's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Ahem!" Professor Cobra was annoyed at being ignored. "Before the final battle, I'll give you a gift!"

He took out bracelets he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and handed them to the two men. "Please wear these on your right hand!"

"Gift?"

"What's this?"

Cobra offered no explanation, and the two men curiously examined the two devices, but didn't sense anything special about them.

So the two of them had no suspicions and put on the two bracelets as instructed.

"Then, you two prepare yourselves; the duel will begin in one hour."

The scene shifts to the Duel Arena, where Judai and John have already set up their Duel Disk and are standing on the Duel Platform.

"Go for it, Judai Lord!!"

As a new student, Saotome Rei sat in the front row early to cheer on Judai.

After the GX Tournament, Judai had more admirers, but because Asuka was his official girlfriend, the other girls weren't confident they could compete with her, so they all just secretly admired her.

Only Rei, with her love-struck mind, dared to reveal her attitude in public, even glancing at Asuka with a slightly provocative look.

So Asuka glared at Judai with a hint of jealousy: 'You're really popular...'

Judai, understanding her meaning, shrugged. "I can't help it either."
