Chapter 327
Moreover, according to Tome, the school's food supply would only last a week. This news immediately caused panic among everyone, and several people started making a fuss, but they calmed down temporarily after John persuaded them to stop.
In any case, if they want to return to the Real World, they must find a way back within a week, otherwise these extras who only drag the team down will really be trapped here to die.
John and the others did not mention what happened before the transfer.
After all, no one knows where the monster came from or what its relationship is with Judai. Revealing things that are unclear will only increase the panic of others and add to Judai's troubles.
Of course, Judai felt no guilt about it. Even if it was related to him, he felt at ease as long as he hadn't done it himself.
He just wants to protect those around him and get everyone back to the Real World. He doesn't care about moral blackmail; who cares about the life or death of those who don't try to save themselves and instead hold others back?
Asuka seemed to sense his thoughts, squeezed his hand, and comforted him, "Judai, I'll always be on your side."
"Thank you, Asuka." Judai nodded and replied firmly, "I will definitely take you back."
"John!"
Suddenly, a person burst into the hall.
John: "Amon? You got involved too?"
Amon: "Yes, by the time I noticed, I was already in the desert."
"Are you alright?"
"Instead of me, let's look outside first. Who's approaching the academy?"
"What?"
Chapter 226 Information about Misawa and O'Brien, Rei is injured
Upon hearing from Amon that someone was coming, everyone hurried out to check the situation.
As soon as they stepped outside, they saw a small, undulating black dot appear in the distance of the desert, gradually expanding as it staggered toward them.
"There really is someone there!"
"Go and provide backup!"
John, Jim, and Amon ran out like the wind.
At the same time, seemingly seeing the tall buildings of the academy, the person suddenly started running with hope, waving as he ran.
"Hello! Hello--! It's me--! Hello--!!"
"Um?"
Judai was about to go to meet him, paused for a moment, "Doesn't this voice sound familiar?"
"Danger!"
John suddenly noticed the Harpie Lady Sisters flying in from the sky, so he raised his Duel Disk first and summoned the Jade Pegasus and Topaz Tiger again to support him.
It took quite a while and a lot of effort to bring the person in distress back to the academy.
Only then did Judai and the others get a clear look at the ragged refugee in front of them. The person in front of them looked like he had been walking in the desert for a long time. Except for the part covered by his goggles, the rest of his face was covered with a layer of dirt blown by the wind and sand. His hair also looked like it hadn't been cut in a long time and looked very long.
Nevertheless, Judai and the others recognized the person in front of them, remembering him the moment they saw his face.
"Misawa!?"
"Why would Misawa be in a place like this?"
That's right, the person who came was none other than Daichi Misawa, who had disappeared long ago. Because his presence was so low, everyone else had almost forgotten that such a person existed.
"Judai! Why are you here?" Misawa asked curiously. "And how did our school end up in this world too?"
"It's a long story. What about you?"
"It's a long story... but this isn't the place to talk. Let's get out of here!"
The group took Misawa had been starving for several days, back to the infirmary.
They started talking about what had happened before, and Judai gave a brief account of the events caused by Professor Cobra from beginning to end.
Upon hearing Misawa, Misawa frowned even more deeply. "So that's how it is. I was transferred to this world during an experimental accident, arriving here earlier than you and learning about some terrible things."
At this point, he suddenly grabbed Judai's shoulders with both hands and said emotionally, "Please, Judai! Please protect Duel Academy. They'll come sooner or later. Those terrifying Pokémon that want to dominate the Twelve... that monster you mentioned could very well be one of them!"
After saying that, he lost consciousness, seemingly from starvation.
"Misawa!"
There's no other way but to settle Misawa first.
Just then, O'Brien, who was lying on the bed next to Misawa, suddenly spoke up.
"Judai, come here for a second!"
"O'Brien? You're awake?"
"Judai, when I was investigating Professor Cobra, I discovered some information that might be related to that terrifying monster. Would you like to hear it?"
What is it?
The others seemed to realize that this was related to Judai, so they all quietly left the infirmary, leaving the two to talk alone.
At this moment, O'Brien made no attempt to hide anything from Judai's curiosity.
"Cobra once carried out a mission like this... According to the records, one day something fell from the sky, and Cobra's mission was to retrieve it. However, there was no further information about that thing; all that was known was that it left an empty crater where it crashed."
"But strangely, since that day, Cobra has stopped carrying out missions, and his behavior has become eccentric and unpredictable."
At this point, O'Brien looked at Judai and asked, "So, what comes to mind, Judai?"
Upon hearing this, Judai frowned. "So, Professor Cobra encountered that anomalous entity around that time?"
"I'm afraid so..."
"A monster from the sky..." Judai seemed to have grasped something, but he felt like something was missing, as if he had forgotten something important.
"Although I don't know what use it is, I still want to thank you for bringing me such important information."
"Hmph." O'Brien turned his head away. "It's just repaying the favor of saving my life."
"Oh, thank you, O'Brien."
It was late at night, Judai was preparing to rest.
"Ah--!!"
A scream suddenly shattered the tranquility of the night. "That voice... is it Li?"
"What happened?" Judai quickly pushed open the door and ran out.
The sound was coming from the direction of the women's restroom in the hallway, Judai quickly arrived at the source of the sound.
Upon arriving near the girls' restroom, I saw a girl in a red school uniform lying face down on the ground.
Judai quickly helped her up. "Rei, what's wrong? Cheer up!"
"Lord Judai ..." Saotome Rei weakly opened her eyes, clutching Judai's sleeve, "Malden ... first-year student Gana Malden ... has been kidnapped by a strange person..."
After saying that, Li fainted.
"Malden!"
The late-arriving Napoleon exclaimed in surprise, instantly squeezing in front of Judai and asking Saotome Rei, "What did you just say? Malden has been taken away~ Diaru?"
Cronos struggled to pull Napoleon away, "Don't bother Li-kun right now, Coach Napoleon, don't make things worse! You're Naonai!"
"But... but, my son was..."
Napoleon looked like he was about to cry.
Just then, Jim spoke up, "Judai, look at that wound on that girl's arm!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing the reminder, Judai noticed the huge wound on Rei's left arm.
Looking at the wound that emitted a faint golden light, Judai frowned. It was clearly not an ordinary injury; it seemed to have been caused by a Spirit...
Judai's heart skipped a beat.
I'd overlooked it! I'd almost forgotten that it might still be hiding somewhere within the Duel Academy...
Upon realizing what was happening, Jaden Judai began to sense his surroundings, only to discover that traces of Dark Power had appeared only in this one place.
"They've moved again? This is really troublesome..."
We can only treat Rei's wounds urgently first, and luckily, Judai can remove the remaining Dark Power from them.
After absorbing and purifying the power within her, he quickly picked up the girl and took her to the infirmary to have her wounds bandaged.
Chapter 227 The Rainbow Dragon Stone Tablet Unearthed, Amon's Obstruction
Late at night, in the archives of the Duel Academy.
This place is piled with all sorts of tedious documents related to college affairs, and it's rarely visited.
But at this very moment, someone is sitting in a chair in the archives, carefully flipping through the documents in their hands.
This is a short, thin boy wearing a school uniform in a Ra Yellow.
This man was none other than Garna Malden, the missing son of Napoleon's coach!
Malden usually had a timid and gloomy appearance, but now he exuded an aura of confidence and wicked charm, and his left hand had transformed into a very ominous demon claw.
If Judai and the others were here, they would surely realize that this was the arm of that strange figure from before.
"This academy once sealed away powerful monsters known as the Wicked God. If we could obtain their power..."
As he was muttering something, someone burst in from outside the archives room.
"Why? Why did you choose this boy instead of someone like me, a human with a powerful darkness within? What do you want? Didn't you bring me into this world?"
"Yes, Amon. How about becoming my servant and working together to create a whole new world?"
Amon fell silent upon hearing this.
The next morning.
After resting for a night Judai the others began searching for the monster's whereabouts within the Duel Academy. They searched the entire academy but still couldn't find it.
"Where did they go?"
Just as everyone was wondering, a communication came from Misawa's side.
"Judai! A communication has been received from the Real World. My most respected Dr. Frankenstein is currently working to contact us."
Judai: "Huh? That Dr. Frankenstein I met briefly at the GX Tournament?"
"That's right. I was involved in an experiment under his supervision when an accident occurred, which is how I ended up in this world. Just now, the doctor contacted us through a tiny crack in the connection, informing us how to return to the Real World."
"Really?"
What is it?
Hearing that there was a way to get back, everyone immediately perked up.
"It should be said that we've found that possibility..." Misawa continued, "Listen carefully, the key is the most mysterious Crystal Beasts, the Rainbow Dragon!"
Upon hearing this, John quickly exclaimed, "Rainbow Dragon actually possesses that kind of power? But Rainbow Dragon hasn't even transformed into a card yet... no, the stone tablets needed to create the card haven't been discovered yet!"
"There's no need to worry about that. The Doctor said that the Industrial Illusions has already discovered the location of that stone tablet. President Pegasus is currently on his way to Rome. Once the Rainbow Dragon's stone tablet is unearthed, the President will design the card on the spot. And once the Rainbow Dragon's card is obtained, the Doctor will use the rift to send it over. At that time, John, you will need to find the Rainbow Dragon that was sent to this world and reconnect the two."
Judai asked doubtfully, "Will this work?"
Misawa's voice continued through the communicator, "According to the doctor's simulation analysis, there's a 30.75% chance of reopening the door. This is the most reliable method so far. However, before that, we need to widen the crack a little and send the card over."
"But what should we do?"
"Only by having two duelists with strong fighting spirits fight each other can the massive duel energy generated expand the rift."
"I see. Then let's not delay..."
Just as everyone was preparing to head to where Misawa was, the earth suddenly trembled.
Rumble rumble rumble...!!
"What... what's wrong now?"
