Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World, Part 1046
Even Celina, the indigo ponytail girl sitting on the sofa next to Jiang He, clenched her fist in interest upon hearing this!
"This challenge duel may not be so simple."
Jiang He shook his head in response, and then, under the questioning gazes of everyone, he briefly explained his guess.
"I heard that the chairwoman of the Leo Corporation and the manager of the Leo Duel Academy LDS is a very ambitious and driven woman named Henrietta Akaba."
"Before appearing in this real-world dueling world, it seems that it used various forceful means to acquire and annex many small dueling academies in Paradise City to form the current Leo Duel School."
"Those who have come to the Duel Academy to challenge and duel clearly have similar intentions."
"What?! Masaka, they want to take over Duel Academy?!"
Upon hearing Jiang He's words, whether it was Alexis Rhodes, Akiza Izinski, Celina, and the others sitting next to him, or Jaden Yuki Yusei Fudo, Yuya Sakaki, and Kanyuya on the soft cloth opposite them, they all immediately showed expressions of shock and couldn't help but have the same guess!
And soon, Jiang He He's guess was proven true!
A moment later, at the port of the Duel Academy.
Not long after lunchtime, Jiang He and his group received a notification and message from Chancellor Sheppard at the deluxe cabin.
The people from Leo Duel School have arrived at the Duel Academy aboard a luxury cruise ship!
When Jiang He finished lunch and leisurely led Alexis Rhodes and the others to the Duel Academy's port dock...
Soon, a number of ordinary students from the Duel Academy were already waiting there. Standing at the front were Chancellor Sheppard, Professor Crowler, and the bald old black Leo Akaba, and a few others.
"Snap!!"
As the connecting platform on the luxury cruise ship was lowered, a woman with a dignified and elegant appearance, wearing a bright red dress, red-rimmed glasses, and burgundy curly hair, stepped off first.
Behind her followed a young man with white hair and a blue sweater, also wearing red-rimmed glasses, and dozens of students dressed in different colors of red, blue, and white!
It was clearly the Leo Corporation and the Leo Duel School, or rather, the chairman of the Leo Institute of Dueling, Henrietta Akaba, and the students of the Leo Institute of Dueling that she led!
"Welcome everyone from Leo Institute of Dueling to the Duel Academy. This must be Chairperson Henrietta Akaba, right?"
Upon seeing Henrietta Akaba appear, Chancellor Sheppard, who was standing at the front, immediately smiled and led his men forward to welcome her!
I shook hands with the other person as a courtesy.
"Thank you for coming to greet me personally, Chancellor Sheppard and everyone from the Duel Academy 337. I am Henrietta Akaba, and this is my son, Declan Akaba, who is also the usual operations president of Leo Corporation."
The elegant woman with long, wavy, wine-red hair responded with a seemingly gentle and polite smile.
She also made a point of mentioning the young man with red-rimmed glasses, white hair, and a blue sweater following behind her!
"Declan Akaba? Come to think of it, this chairperson's surname is also Akaba, her name is Henrietta Akaba!"
Hearing the commotion ahead, Alexis Rhodes and Akiza Izinski, who were with Jiang He, as well as Jaden Yuki and Chazz Princeton on the other side, all showed surprised expressions as if they had realized something!
He looked towards the bald, black man standing next to Professor Crowler and Vice Chancellor Bonaparte, towards the direction of Leo Akaba!
"Masaka! What's the connection between the chairman and president of the Leo Institute of Dueling and Professor Leo Akaba, the mastermind behind the resurrection plan?!" Yuzu Hiiragi asked Jiang He in surprise in a low voice!
Even Alexis Rhodes and Akiza Izinski, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but look in Jiang He's direction to inquire.

"If I'm not mistaken, this chairperson Henrietta Akaba, and her son, Declan Akaba, are indeed the nominal ex-wife and son of that bald, black -Leo Akaba."
Jiang He nodded in affirmation.
The future world was split into four parts due to the battle between the Supreme King Z-ARC and the Ray Akaba.
The people from the future world were also given new and different identities in those four regions: including the bald old black man, Leo Akaba, who had a brief period of amnesia and was given a different identity.
Henrietta Akaba and Declan Akaba are each other's ex-wife and son, who were assigned to each other in the split-off Paradise City.
Once the bald, black-haired, and ruthless Leo Akaba had focused on scientific research and spent all his time in the laboratory, he quickly regained his memories and found Celina, the reincarnation of his first daughter, in the Fusion Dimension. He then abandoned the identity assigned to him after the split of the future time world and became the highest-ranking professor of the Future Academy, beginning preparations for the Arc Area Project to resurrect his daughter!
"Huh? There really is a connection?!"
Upon hearing his words, Alexis Rhodes, Akiza Izinski, Celina, and the others, as well as Jaden Yuki and Chazz Princeton, all showed expressions of surprise!
Soon after, Jiang He and the others noticed the elegant and noble woman with wine-red curly hair and red-rimmed glasses in the distance Henrietta Akaba also noticed Leo Akaba's presence and frowned, revealing a hint of disgust.
Even the young man with red-rimmed glasses, white hair, and a blue sweater who was accompanying him Declan Akaba, narrowed his eyes and adjusted his glasses.
He revealed a meaningful, amused expression, as if he had confirmed something!
Clearly, the other party must have known from the beginning, or guessed that after Leo Akaba and the new students from the Future Academy appeared in this real-world dueling world, they might be here at the Duel Academy!
The bald, black- Leo Akaba's expression remained completely unchanged.
It was like seeing a complete stranger!
For him, the existence of Henrietta Akaba, the character from the beginning, and Declan Akaba, was indeed something he never really felt from the start.
It's as if I was suddenly assigned to this world because of a future timeline splitting apart!
This is why he values his daughter Ray Akaba so much, but he was able to completely abandon Henrietta Akaba, his son Declan Akaba, back then, and devote himself to the laboratory, spending all his time recovering his memories and researching technology!
"Chancellor Sheppard, I submitted my proposal for today's duel to the Duel Academy's board of directors beforehand, so I'm sure you're already aware of that, right?"
Meanwhile, the figure of the wine-red curly-haired noblewoman Henrietta Akaba, frowned in disgust but quickly smiled and continued to look in the direction of the bald Chancellor Sheppard.
"The specific content of this proposal is to challenge the duel while betting the future of the Leo Institute of Dueling and the Duel Academy!"
"What?! Betting the future of Leo Institute of Dueling and Duel Academy?!"
Upon hearing her words, the blond mushroom-headed professor, Vice Chancellor Bonaparte, and many ordinary Duel Academy students behind them all showed expressions of shock!
It was as if they had been greatly frightened!
"The Leo Institute of Dueling's goal is actually to annex the Duel Academy...?!"
Even Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Yuma Tsukumo all showed expressions of surprise!
"Is that really how it is?"
Jiang He raised an eyebrow at this, showing no surprise whatsoever.
He even had the leisure to glance at the reaction of the bald old black Leo Akaba in the distance.
Even the Leo Akaba frowned and his pupils shrank instantly!
Clearly, even the opposing side was somewhat surprised that Henrietta Akaba and Declan Akaba's ultimate goal in challenging the Duel Academy was this!
If Duel Academy falls into the hands of Leo Institute of Dueling, the situation will likely be even more dire for them than it is now!
At least Jiang Daishanren didn't directly break off relations and take action, but planned to wait until all of the opponent's forces were exposed before wiping them out in one fell swoop.
However, Henrietta Akaba and Declan Akaba are different. Once Duel Academy falls into the hands of the other side, these two are very likely to directly destroy the power in Leo Akaba's hands!
After all, a few years ago, Declan Akaba had accidentally discovered some Arc Area Project data left by his cheap father, Leo Akaba, in the laboratory, as well as a device connected to the future Obelisk Blue dormitory!
It is known that Leo Akaba is collecting the life energy of a large number of people as an energy source to revive his true daughter Ray Akaba!
The Leo Institute of Dueling's attempt to annex the Duel Academy stems not only from Henrietta Akaba's strong ambition and desire to expand her business, but also from Declan Akaba's plan to eliminate Leo Akaba's power and thwart his scheme!
Jiang He could only say that this was probably what they called filial piety and parental love!

"The council informed me about this matter not long ago."
Upon hearing this, Chancellor Sheppard, with a serious expression, nodded towards Henrietta Akaba.
Previously, he hadn't fully explained the details to Professor Crowler and Vice Chancellor Bonaparte, only saying that the Leo Institute of Dueling's challenge was quite aggressive, and hoping that Professor Crowler and the others could discuss and arrange the duel to try their best to win.
The goal is to avoid causing panic.
Unexpectedly, the other party brought up this matter right away!
"Now that the Leo Institute of Dueling is ready, let's head to the Duel Academy's arena!"
Chancellor Sheppard, with a serious expression, quickly made a suggestion to Henrietta Akaba and Declan Akaba.
A short while later, inside the spacious dueling arena of the Duel Academy.
Chancellor Sheppard and a large number of ordinary students from the Duel Academy sat on one side of the arena.
Even the bald old black Leo Akaba and his Future Academy freshmen sat not far from 337 this time.
Meanwhile, the wine-red curly-haired noblewoman Henrietta Akaba from the Leo Institute of Dueling, along with Declan Akaba and dozens of other Leo Institute of Dueling students, sat on the other side!
Jiang He and Alexis Rhodes and the others found a seat near the front of the Duel Academy area.
Right behind that Chancellor Sheppard and his group!
"Then let's begin the challenge that will determine the future of the Duel Academy and Leo Institute of Dueling."
The elegant woman with wine-red curly hair Henrietta Akaba, smiled confidently and turned to look in the direction of Chancellor Sheppard and the others, saying...
"The rules are five-on-five duels in rotation. The first side to win three matches is the winner and can annex the opposing academy. How about that?"
"There are no problems on our side at the Duel Academy."
Upon hearing this, Chancellor Sheppard glanced in the direction of Jiang He and saw him nod with an indifferent expression. He then nodded in the direction of Henrietta Akaba as well!
The best-of-five format is quite fair and acceptable for the Duel Academy, which has sufficient strength!
Noticing the Chancellor Sheppard Samejima's glance at Jiang He, Henrietta Akaba, the elegant lady with wine-red curly hair in the other seating area, narrowed her eyes with amusement!
Is that the target mentioned in the intelligence we gathered, the one who needs to be treated with the utmost caution— Jiang He, the top student of the Duel Academy and the honorary prince of the Serpent God Kingdom?
Immediately, she gave a wink to the young man with white hair and a blue sweater sitting not far away Declan Akaba!
She gestured for her son to arrange the tactics and the order of appearance!
Compared to the Duel Academy, the biggest advantage of Leo Institute of Dueling is not the difference in strength, but rather their understanding of the strong duelists in the Duel Academy through the information they have gathered.
However, the Duel Academy has absolutely no idea about the students of the Leo Institute of Dueling.
This allows her to employ tactics similar to Tian Ji's horse racing strategy in five-on-five duels, avoiding one or two strong opponents.
Then get three wins as soon as possible!
"Then I'll be the first one to go on stage for the Duel Academy!"
Meanwhile, at the Leo Institute of Dueling, while Jiang He and his friends were arranging their tactical personnel (biaj), Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, excitedly offered his suggestions to Chancellor Sheppard, as well as Professor Crowler and Vice Chancellor Bonaparte, who both had worried and distressed expressions.
"No, let this battle be fought by the former king, Jack Atlas, who has gained new power but has yet to find an opportunity!"
Not far away, Jack Atlas, the man who had been sitting with his arms crossed, also stood up and made a suggestion to Chancellor Sheppard and Professor Crowler!
"This"
Upon hearing this, Chancellor Sheppard and Professor Crowler all showed expressions of hesitation.
Then he glanced in the direction of Jiang He.
After all, this was a crucial decision concerning the survival of the Duel Academy, and even they found it difficult to make a choice.
This time, it would be better to let Jiang He, who has a special relationship with Chairman Kagemaru, make the decision!
Seeing the looks that Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Jack Atlas, and the others were turning to look at him, Jiang He stroked his chin and considered for a moment before nodding directly.
"Let Jack lead the charge in the first battle. After all, Jack has new power, which means the enemy doesn't have information about it. Perhaps we can end the battle quickly."
