Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World

"Huh...?!" The short, chubby coach was stunned upon hearing this.

This Slifer Red student, who's somewhat famous for his poor performance, actually took the initiative to challenge the duel to a duel?!

Didn't he know he was about to face an elite third-year student who was on par with Kaiser Zane Truesdale, the top student of the Duel Academy...?

"If this Obelisk Blue tennis champion, who's on par with Kaiser Zane Truesdale, wins, Vice Chancellor Bonaparte, you'll get twenty million, enough to pay off most of your remaining mortgage."

Seeing the short, chubby coach's somewhat hesitant and bewildered expression, Jiang He even began to subtly persuade him.

"And if you lose, you can at least get an IOU, which is a really good deal."

"..." Professor Crowler, along with Alexis Rhodes, Jaden Yuki, and others familiar with Jiang He, all began to show strange expressions.

He looked with pity at Vice Chancellor Bonaparte, who was clearly swayed by Jiang He's words and had a comical, cunning smile on his face.

This scene feels like the whispers of a demon!

The unfortunate fellow who had fallen into danger was completely unaware of this!

0. Requesting flowers...

Having fallen for the same Chazz Princeton before, Manjou instinctively shuddered and hugged his spiky head.

It feels like those terrible memories etched deep in my DNA have been awakened!

"Then it's settled! The Acting Chancellor Crowler, will be the witness!"

Vice Chancellor Bonaparte immediately slapped his fist and said happily.

He had previously wasted a lot of breath praising Ayano, an elite third-year student who was on par with Zane Truesdale, the top student of Ayano Duel Academy.

Now, consider the bet that Jiang He, the "good guy but bad student" from Slifer Red, added himself as his "hardship fee"!

If Jiang He, this "good guy but bad student," loses, he can even help get him a place at a branch of the Duel Academy.

As for the Duel Academy here, his determination to uphold the elite system and not show favoritism will not change!

"Since Vice Chancellor Bonaparte has said so, then I will act as a witness, Noone!"

The blond, mushroom-headed professor was practically beaming with joy.

He could almost foresee the unfortunate scene that would soon unfold, with the Vice Chancellor Bonaparte, who had opposed him from the start, being dealt with by the underachiever Jiang He.

Finally, another unfortunate soul in the same predicament as him is about to appear in the position of instructor at the Duel Academy!

Thinking about this, Crowler didn't even bother to correct the other party's title of "temporary principal."

I'm even a little impatient to see that scene!

"Then let's use this tennis court as our duel venue!"

Hearing Professor Crowler's question, which involved rubbing his hands together, Jiang He nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

And the savior sent out by Vice Chancellor Bonaparte, Ayano, a third-year student at Obelisk Blue and the top tennis Ayano, also smiled confidently and nodded, saying, "I have absolutely no objections!"

"You must be Slifer Red Jiang He, the 'Underworld Duelist' who seems to be quite famous at the Duel Academy lately!"

A moment later, Jiang He and the tennis champion named Ayano stood on opposite sides of the tennis court, each wearing their own Duel Disk— the blond-haired mushroom-headed professor and the short, fat coach—ready for their duel.

The tennis champion named Ayano immediately greeted Jiang He with a confident expression.

Because of his position, he practices tennis extensively every day, so he rarely participates in events that occur within the Duel Academy.

Therefore, my understanding of Jiang He is limited to what I've heard from rumors.

It seems that most of the "750" score students in the entire Duel Academy break out in a cold sweat the moment this guy's name is mentioned, or the thought of dueling with him comes up.

"I don't know anyone who has the title 'Underworld Duelist,' but if you're talking about 'The Righteous Healer of the Soul,' then that's very likely me!"

Jiang He immediately corrected the other party's opening remarks with a righteous and indignant expression.

"..." Alexis Rhodes, Chazz Princeton, Jaden Yuki, and the others all stared at him with black lines on their foreheads.

Even the blond-haired, mushroom-headed professor and the other Duel Academy students watching the match were no exception, all internally ranting and raving.

They had never seen such a shameless person...!

What righteous healer? He's clearly an "evil psychopath"!

"Um... whatever the title, what I want to say is that I'm not just dueling with you because of Vice Chancellor Bonaparte's invitation, but also because I've heard that the only goddess universally acknowledged by Obelisk Blue is getting close to you, and I've come to quell the burning jealousy in my heart!"

Ayano clenched her fists, her eyes burning with a fierce intensity as she stared at Jiang He.

"Today's sunset is only for today! This is the duel of youth!"

"So have you ever considered the possibility that saying that might offend quite a few girls from Obelisk Blue...?"

Jiang He looked at the tennis champion in the distance with a subtle expression, and couldn't help but kindly offer a reminder.

At this moment, many of the Obelisk Blue girls watching from all sides were staring at their opponent with "nuclear-sounding" eyes!

Even Alexis's two best friends started giving her unfriendly looks!

Although Alexis is indeed the undisputed queen of the Obelisk Blue girls' dormitory, none of them have ever considered vying for that title.

However, when someone else says that Obelisk Blue is "the only goddess," the meaning is completely different!

Does that mean the others, who aren't queens like Alexis, can't be considered goddesses of Obelisk Blue?

"Jiang He, that's it! Teach that bastard who dares to covet our Obelisk Blue Girls' Dormitory Queen a lesson!" "That's right, if we get a new super powerful deck, we'll definitely use the strongest one on this guy!" In an instant, all the Obelisk Blue girls watching from a distance around the tennis court unanimously supported Jiang He!

They clearly took sides and became his cheerleaders!

The loudest voices were clearly from Jasmine and Mindy, who were often by Alexis's side and quite familiar with Jiang He. "What a terrifying scene...!!"

Jaden Yuki, along with Chazz Princeton, Atticus Rhodes, and the others, immediately huddled together to one side, watching this scene with cold sweat dripping down their faces.

Even Professor Crowler and the short, fat coach were huddled together on one side.

"I dare not get involved at all!" And the tennis champion, Ayano, was completely dumbfounded!

He quickly changed the subject, sweating profusely, and said to Jiang He, "Then let the duel begin! Jiang He!" "I'm ready anytime!"

Jiang He, beaming with a sunny smile, put the new Netherworld card deck he had exchanged while sunbathing on the rooftop at noon into his Duel Disk!

His DD Bomb Deck is itching to unleash its power!

Trying to snatch food from Jiang Daishanren's bowl is like trying to steal food from a tiger's mouth!

Jiang He declared, "We must teach this young tennis star a lesson! Duel!" "Duel!"

As Jiang He and Ayano spoke at the same time, red lights immediately appeared on the Duel Disk they were wearing, and they instantly unfolded!

After each player drew five starting cards, the same [4000LP] life points appeared around them!

The atmosphere suddenly became serious!

"First strike wins! My turn, draw a card!"

Ayano smiled confidently as he drew a card from the top of his deck, adding it to his hand. He then took one and placed it on the Duel Disk! "Activate Spell Card from my hand, [Service Ace]!"

A Spell Card with the power of a tennis serve that creates an explosion pattern on the court suddenly appeared in front of Ayano!

"This card's effect: Choose one card from your hand (5.2 cards) and have your opponent guess which of three types it is: Monster, Trap, or Spell Card."

"If I guess correctly, I choose to destroy my own hand; but if I guess correctly, I'll banish that card from my hand as the cost, dealing you 1500 damage!" "Spell Card that directly reduces your health significantly?"

Upon hearing Ayano's words, Alexis Rhodes and Bastion Misawa, who were watching the battle from the surrounding area, all frowned in surprise.

The opponent's deck doesn't seem to be a normal deck either; it's more like a shady, low-damage deck!

However, after glancing at Jiang He's expression, they quickly realized that Jiang He seemed to have expected this all along, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Tipping, reporting, commenting, and sharing

Chapter 232 Jiang He: I guess it's Fusion Monster [Please subscribe]

Jiang He was naturally familiar with the tennis card deck used by tennis champion Ayano to reduce the opponent's health.

Even the opponent's activated Spell Card, [Service Ace], which makes the opponent guess the type of a card in their hand. If he wanted to cheat, he could simply use Camula's Little Bat to Duel Monsters Spirit, or have the Sphere Kuriboh float over in phantom form to take a look.

However, Jiang He had absolutely no intention of doing so.

"Guess what type of card this is in my hand, Jiang He!"

At this moment, Ayano had already taken out one card from her six cards, showing it face down to Jiang He. "I guess it's Fusion Monster card."

Jiang He gave a completely absurd answer that was impossible to be correct.

"Is it... a Fusion Monster Card?!" Ayano looked completely bewildered as she stared at Jiang He.

He subconsciously wanted to give Jiang He a shot, but was he sure it was this type of card to use?

Just like adults often ask children if they are sure it's the right answer, this is a way to tease your opponent.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang He didn't play by the rules at all!

This shows an attitude of complete indifference, even if it means losing 1500 LP of health points...

"Right now, we're guessing one of the monsters, spells, or traps, but not Fusion Monster like that, which is completely impossible to appear in the hand!" Ayano said to Jiang He with a pained expression.

That's not even within the rules!

"If I had to choose one of those three types, I'm worried I might accidentally guess right!" Jiang He said, shrugging.

He had this "I'm doing this entirely for your sake" look on his face!

"After all, if the tennis champion loses without inflicting any damage on me, I'm worried you won't be able to handle it mentally!"... Ayano's face darkened.

Thank you so much for being so considerate!

"This Slifer Red underachiever is really infuriating." Watching from the sidelines, Vice Chancellor Bonaparte suddenly felt that he might have been tricked into agreeing to increase the bet with this "good guy underachiever" Jiang He.

With such an infuriating level of skill, he always felt that this "good guy with bad grades" Jiang He was actually a completely scheming guy...!

Professor Crowler, standing nearby, secretly chuckled with schadenfreude.

"Since you put it that way, then we'll judge the Spell Card's [Service Ace] effect as incorrect, based on your guess!"

Ayano immediately retorted without any politeness.

"As a price, I'll banish this card I've chosen! Inflict 1500 damage!"

As the card he had chosen was banished and disappeared in a flash of light, a beam of light suddenly shone from the [Service Ace] Spell Card that had appeared on the field in front of him!

It swiftly transformed into a beam of light and shot towards Jiang He!

"Bang!!"

Instantly, a burst of sparks and smoke erupted on the ground near Jiang He!

When the aftershocks and smoke of the explosion disappeared, Jiang He was revealed, arms crossed, his calm expression unchanged.

However, his original [4000LP] health points also decreased by 1500, becoming [2500LP]!

After numerous Shadow Duel, the "damage" inflicted by ordinary duels like this now is something to be wary of.

Jiang He felt no pain at all.

"Although the situation was a bit unusual, I still managed to score the first point! Now I'll set up a hidden card, and the turn is over!"
