Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World, Part 131

Alexis Rhodes, holding her Duel Academy communicator, walked over from a short distance and reminded him.

It was clearly her two close friends, Jasmine and Mindy, who had given her the latest information they had gathered.

"Newly recruited students?" Jiang He's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, revealing a hint of interest.

The new life that will allow him to fleece people has finally arrived!

Jiang He said that these freshmen who know nothing about his reputation are the best targets for earning Emotion Points!

He wondered if any of the people who came this time were among those he remembered as people who were supposed to wait another six months or so to come...?

For example, there's a certain Sartorius who was infected by a special power no less than that of the Sacred Beasts and harbored considerable ambitions.

That is, the user of the "Arcana Force Deck" that appeared in the System Shop's exchange options before, which was the one that claimed to be "towards one's own underworld"...

A moment later.

Jiang He, Alexis Rhodes, along with Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, and the others who had also come after hearing the news, arrived at the Duel Academy shore, on the open ground next to the path leading to the main classroom.

Soon, some freshmen who had already been assigned dormitories and changed into the Duel Academy uniforms came from the dock where the ferry was docking.

These new students, because they were specially recruited, seem different from those who were admitted through the formal assessment.

Not only did they not arrive by the Duel Academy's private helicopter, but they also switched to a less desirable ferry.

Furthermore, which dormitory to join and what kind of clothes to receive were all arranged in advance on the ferry.

"It seems like I haven't seen anything at all, but this duelist looks incredibly skilled."

Alexis's two close friends, Jasmine and Mindy, glanced at her and then crossed their arms and said something.

"..." Upon hearing this, Jiang He felt a strong urge to make a sarcastic remark.

You can't tell someone's fighting ability by their appearance alone; you're just judging them based on superficial impressions like whether they look good or fierce!

Indeed, among the freshmen he's seen so far, he hasn't found anyone whose hairstyle alone suggests they're good at playing cards...

I didn't even see any "acquaintances".

I don't know if it's because they haven't arrived here yet, or if the other party had already arrived before them.

"You can't judge a fighter's strength without a duel!"

Not far away, Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, was excitedly clenching his fist as he watched so many new students pass by, his gambling addiction flaring up.

There were many students of Obelisk Blue and Ra Yellow in that place.

Clearly, they were all identified as elite freshmen after the dueling combat tests and written examinations.

The only problem is that the one wearing Slifer Red dress seems to be almost completely invisible...

"So what exactly is the purpose of this early recruitment for the Duel Academy on May 2nd? Wasn't increasing the number of students in the Slifer Red Dormitory one of the original goals?"

Beside Jiang He, Alexis Rhodes made a subtle comment.

The Slifer Red Dormitory is practically defunct now. Apart from her, who is temporarily staying with Jiang He but still belongs to Obelisk Blue, there are only five people in total. "Ah, there's one! But that little girl, she looks like she's still a primary school student!" Just then, Syrus Truesdale suddenly exclaimed in surprise as if he had seen something.

After dozens of people had passed by, a petite figure dressed in Slifer Red dress finally appeared vaguely among the new students...

"That's... Saotome Rei?!"

Upon seeing the petite, hooded figure in Slifer Red dress, Jiang He quickly recalled the figure and recognized her, muttering to himself.

This made the expression on his face instantly turn strange.

If he remembers correctly, this is a fangirl-type girl who uses a slightly shady NTR deck.

They admire strong individuals, especially powerful duelists who leave a deep impression on their opponents and whom they themselves do not dislike.

That's the age.

Just as that Jaden little brother Syrus Truesdale said, Jiang He remembered that Rei Saotome was at the level of a first-year elementary school student, or even less.

"Three years minimum. jpg" Finally, we see a new Slifer Red! Although he looks a bit young, there are still genius duelists who skipped grades!

Seeing this Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, waved enthusiastically and went forward to help!

"The new students of Slifer Red over Slifer Red dorms are in that direction!"

"Let us senior colleagues take you there!"

By this time, almost all the newly enrolled students of the Duel Academy had arrived here, and there were hardly any more people coming out.

That little girl in Slifer Red was clearly the only one among the new students to Slifer Red dormitory.

"In the end, they only hired one person...?" Jiang He said helplessly upon seeing this situation.

However, there were fewer people around the Slifer Red Dormitory, which made him happy to have some peace and quiet.

The only thing that made Jiang He a little disappointed was that, apart from Rei Saotome, he didn't see any other "familiar" people.

I wonder if they had already disembarked from the ferry and gone to their respective dormitories before they arrived.

While Jiang He was pondering this, he didn't notice that Rei Saotome was being led there by the hot-blooded idiot Jaden Yuki, who was rarely acting as a senior, along with Chazz Princeton, Syrus Truesdale, and a few others.

She even secretly glanced at him, her face flushing.

"This little girl." Alexis Rhodes suddenly shifted, and she became alert to what was happening!

A sudden sense of unease arose within her!

After returning to the dining hall room of the Slifer Red Dormitory.

The squinty-eyed Professor Banner had already prepared food for the welcome party.

Classic large fried shrimp, curry mapo tofu, and natto with pickled anchovies...

However, for Jiang He, who eats all kinds of luxurious bento boxes from Aunt Dorothy every day, this is a good opportunity to change things up once in a while!

"Even though there's only one new student joining our Slifer Red Dorm, we still need to prepare a welcome party, meow!"

Banner immediately hugged his fat cat, Pharaoh, and stood at the front row of tables, which resembled a classroom, smiling as he spoke to Jiang He and the others who were seated behind him.

"So, freshman, please introduce yourself to our seniors!"

"Yes!"

Upon seeing Banner's gesture, the little girl wearing a baseball cap stood a bit reservedly in front, then looked at Jiang He and the others sitting at the rows of small tables and spoke.

"My name is Rei Saotome. I was a sixth-grade student at Duel Elementary School, and I skipped a grade to the Duel Academy by passing the most difficult transfer test!"

"Elementary school... sixth grader...?"

In an instant, Jaden Yuki, along with Chazz Princeton, Syrus Truesdale, and the others, all looked completely bewildered as they stared at Rei Saotome.

He showed a petrified expression.

Many of them began to doubt the meaning of life.

At such a young age, he easily passed the Duel Academy's most difficult skip-grade test...

So there really are genius duelist girls out there?!

Even Alexis Rhodes, and Bastion Misawa, who had skipped the welcome party at the Ra Yellow dorms and come here instead of attending the Olympus Red event, were all equally shocked.

"It's even smaller than I expected..." Even Jiang He looked at Rei Saotome with a bit of amusement and made a comment.

Then, very quickly, he heard an even more outrageous statement from Rei Saotome!

"The reason I skipped a grade and transferred to the Duel Academy was entirely because of Lord Jiang He!"

"So, Jiang He, please fall in love with me!"

In the distance, Rei Saotome, her eyes gleaming, held her own hands and looked at Jiang He earnestly.

"???" In an instant, not only Alexis Rhodes and Chazz Princeton, but also the others stared wide-eyed with question marks on their faces.

Even Jiang He was instantly filled with question marks, staring blankly at the young girl.

A great deal of doubt arose.

What the hell is this?!

He really wanted to ask Rei Saotome if she had mistaken him for someone else when she addressed her and said those words. In Jiang He's memory, Rei Saotome had joined the Duel Academy because she was supposed to be there to help Kaiser Zane Truesdale, who had defeated students from other branch schools in the previous competition.

How did it suddenly become him, Jiang?

He and the other party had never even met...!

Most importantly, Jiang He stated that he didn't want to start from three years!

"The duel between the Duel Academy and that hedgehog-headed guy from the North Academy called Chazz Princeton was broadcast live on TV, I saw it all!" Before Jiang He could even ask a question, Rei Saotome recounted with eyes full of admiration.

"Even using a weak deck like Disruption Monsters, Jiang He can easily defeat his opponent and leave this hedgehog-headed guy feeling depressed—such is the strength of a powerful duelist!"

"Who's the hedgehog-headed guy? It's the Chazz Princeton Thunder!"

Upon hearing Rei Saotome's words, Chazz Princeton's face darkened as he corrected her.

Meanwhile, Bastion Misawa, Yuki Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, and the others couldn't help but feel ashamed as they looked at Rei Saotome.

I desperately wanted to make a sarcastic remark.

Girl, what attracts you to Jiang He, besides his dueling prowess, is it actually his depressing, underworld-like dueling style?!

"..." Even Jiang He himself almost fell to the ground when he heard this reason. He never expected that Rei Saotome would target him because of this.

However, Jiang He was quite understanding! After all, a "positive energy duelist" like him, who was "helpful" and liked to bring "healing smiles" to others, was indeed quite attractive! If other people around him heard him say this, they would probably be unable to resist spitting blood and saying to him, "You're really good at being shameless!"

Asuka Alexis Rhodes, seeing Rei Saotome's situation, was somewhat amused and exasperated.

If the other person is a girl of similar age, she might immediately become wary and highly motivated to fight.

But this is a little girl who is only in sixth grade and will be around the age of graduation...

Even now, when the other person says to Jiang He, "I want to date her," Alexis still can't seem to be on guard!

"Well... although I don't want to shatter your dreams, while stubborn longing is beautiful, love, like a duel, is a process of hearts connecting," Alexis Rhodes said to Rei Saotome with a smile.

"A full-scale attack right from the start like that will scare the boys away."

Clearly, she was treating Rei Saotome, who was a minor, like an innocent little sister. Although she had never been in a relationship, her knowledge and understanding were significantly greater than those of Rei Saotome, who was clearly a third-year junior.

As soon as Alexis Rhodes said this, especially after seeing her still sitting next to Jiang He, Rei Saotome immediately stared at her warily and asked, "What is your relationship with Lord Jiang He?"

"Could it be a love rival?!"

"Huh...?!" Alexis Rhodes blushed slightly upon hearing this.

I was caught off Rei Saotome and didn't know how to answer!

Because that is indeed the truth!

"No, that's not it. I'm just staying temporarily in Jiang He."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Alexis Rhodes quickly and awkwardly waved her hands, denying it.
