Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with a Dark Deck to Depress the World, Part 135

She never expected Jiang He to pull such a stunt.

After a long silence, Alexis Rhodes finally managed to utter, "Okay! I understand!" A moment later, watching Jiang He leisurely humming a tune, she went back to her room to sleep.

Alexis, still with a helpless expression, sat on the sofa with her empty teacup in hand. After a while, she suddenly chuckled softly, recalling what had just happened. She looked towards the master bedroom on the second floor and muttered to herself, "That guy, he always manages to do something unexpectedly interesting." However, thanks to Jiang He's antics, the awkward atmosphere that had initially arisen vanished instantly.

Thinking of this, Alexis Rhodes quickly revealed a pleasant smile.

"Today's theoretical lesson will begin with me, Vellian Crowler, introducing you to several promising elite freshmen who have recently joined the Duel Academy." Early the next morning, Jiang He, leaning against a high table in the back row, listlessly watching the situation in front of him.

At this moment, the blond, mushroom-headed professor was introducing some of the talented new students who had just been admitted to the Duel Academy yesterday.

Because Chancellor Sheppard has returned, Professor Crowler's temporary position as principal has been revoked.

He resumed teaching the original lessons.

However, compared to these, Jiang He was more interested in the freshmen being introduced at the podium. Besides Rei Saotome, whom he had already met yesterday, he also saw several other new figures that he hadn't seen when he went to check on the freshmen yesterday!

"First up is Gokai Dozan, a freshman from Obelisk Blue. He inherited the top rank from Chazz Princeton before joining Duel Academy in elementary school, making him an elite freshman who went straight up from elementary school."

As Professor Crowler introduced him, a short passerby dressed in Obelisk Blue revealed a smug smile.

And when he looked at the Chazz Princeton- looking Manjoume sitting not far in front of Jiang He, his eyes and expression were like those of a devoted fan.

Jiang He got goosebumps just looking at it.

Needless to say, this random passerby is Chazz Princeton fanboy of Manjou...

"Next up is... Tyranno Kenzan, the Ra Yellow! He was admitted to the high school through a written exam and a dueling test. Except for not being the top scorer in the written exam, he was an outstanding student who achieved almost the top score in the dueling test!"

Professor Crowler quickly introduced the second muscular, wheat-skinned, robust, and somewhat simple-minded young man wearing a dinosaur head and neck mask.

"Tyranno Kenzan, that idiot who uses the dinosaur deck, right?" Jiang He recognized him immediately and muttered.

In his memory, this seemingly simple-minded but passionate young man was indeed quite strong.

He could even be considered someone who could compete with Bastion Misawa for the position of Chief of the Ra Yellow clan. "I am Tyranno Hassleberry, seniors and fellow students, you can also call me Dinosaur Kenzan!" The burly, somewhat goofy-looking young man with wheat-colored skin immediately introduced himself with a bright smile. "Big Brother!"

Below the seats, several freshmen from Ra Yellow immediately raised their hands in support and shouted.

Jiang He and Alexis couldn't help but glance in that direction.

"He's already recruited several followers on his very first day. This freshman named Tyranno Hassleberry seems to be a show-off." Looking at Tyranno Hassleberry smiling and waving in front of the podium, Chazz Princeton crossed his arms and said.

"Back in the beginning, Chazz Princeton, you seemed to be like this too, right..." Jiang He couldn't help but retort.

They delivered the finishing blow to Chazz Princeton.

"..." Chazz Princeton's face turned green instantly, and he choked and couldn't speak.

When he first joined Duel Academy, he did indeed gather a few followers around him.

However, after he temporarily withdrew from school and joined the North Academy, he left automatically.

"And finally, the last one, the genius elite who skipped a grade to join the Duel Academy as a sixth-grade elementary school student, Rei Saotome." Professor Crowler introduced Rei Saotome in the blink of an eye.

"Because she volunteered at the beginning, she was assigned to the Slifer Red Dormitory. She was originally an exception and could have Obelisk Blue Girls' Dormitory." Hearing the blond, mushroom-headed professor introduce Rei Saotome, Jiang He instantly had a bad feeling!

And soon, his premonition came true!

"I'm Rei Saotome, and I joined the Slifer Red Dormitory specifically for Jiang He! Nice to meet you!" "Hey, Alexis, this little girl seems to be here to compete with you..."

Upon hearing Rei Saotome's speech at the front of the large classroom, Jasmine and Mindy, Alexis's two close friends sitting next to her, couldn't help but offer a strange reminder.

Although they also thought that Jiang He was actually a pretty good guy, they thought he shouldn't be so attractive as to draw young girls to him specifically...

"No, I don't care about that kind of thing," Alexis Rhodes said casually, somewhat helplessly.

Even the Queen of the Obelisk Blue Girls' Dormitory, known for her clingy and persistent nature, was somewhat at a loss with Saotome Rei. This morning, before she and Jiang He had even finished breakfast, Rei Saotome Rei Saotome over her blankets, intending to live and sleep in the guest room together from now on!

She said that although she is currently in the lead, she would never give up easily.

Given Alexis Rhodes's seemingly cold but actually warm-hearted personality, she naturally couldn't think of a good reason to refuse.

After all, who could bear to hurt a young girl who harbors pure aspirations but is not unlikeable?

For now, we can only acquiesce. Compared to this matter, Alexis said that what we've just made a simple verbal declaration is already a relatively insignificant situation.

Seeing Alexis Rhodes's reaction, her two best friends, Jasmine and Mindy, exchanged puzzled glances.

Did something drastic change happen while they were gone yesterday?

"So this really happened..." Jiang He couldn't help but cover his face.

Isn't this just killing him off and making him the target of hatred?

Jiang He didn't care at all about attracting hatred.

He even hoped to pull more, attracting two more people to challenge him to a duel!

Even Professor Crowler was completely taken aback by this turn of events... (Requesting flowers...)

I'm inexplicably a little envious of Jiang He's charm!

Why is it that even a struggling student like me, with his sinister fighting style, can attract admirers...?

Despite Professor Crowler's charismatic personality and exceptional dueling skills, he failed to attract any students to join the Duel Academy because of him!

However, Crowler quickly seemed to remember something and mentally denied it!

"No, the only genius professional duelist who wasn't present today, Aster Phoenix, also submitted his application to join the Duel Academy Duel Academy his last day as the interim principal!"

O must have joined because he heard that Vellian Crowler had become the interim principal!

Yes, that must be it, None!

The blond, mushroom-headed professor nodded repeatedly, seemingly reassuring himself, even sporting his signature comical smile. "Now, freshmen, please return to your seats and begin today's duel theory lesson...!" After Professor Crowler began his self-satisfied lecture, Jiang He, having nothing else to do, checked his system panel, which hadn't changed a month after his duel with tennis champion Ayano, as well as the System Shop's exchange options that had been refreshed yesterday.

See if there's anything worth redeeming, like a new Netherworld deck or the Mark of the Crimson Dragon skill.

Planning to "welcome" the new students!

[Name: Jiang He]

[Skills: Duel Spirit Sight Ability, Top-Tier Clear Mind]

The Mark of the Crimson Dragon: Dragon Head Mark / Dragon Heart Mark / Dragon Tail Mark / Dragon Hand Mark / Dragon Wing Mark (Grants power to the Crimson Dragon, which materializes Duel Monsters Spirit)

[Currently owned decks: One-Turn Kill Exodia the Forbidden One Deck, Lava Golem Deck... Dark HERO Deck, Iaido Draw Deck, Barrier Timelord Deck, Relinquished Deck, DD Bomb Deck.]

[Emotion Points: 4500] Maru.

Chapter 251 The Underworld Self-Destruction Undying Path [Please Subscribe]

After earning 2000 Emotion Points from his duel with tennis champion Ayano.

Jiang He's Emotion Points score has remained unchanged for over a month.

Now that he has finally received a new student, he naturally has no intention of missing this opportunity.

I continued reading immediately.

[System Shop (refreshes every two days)] Today's options:

[Deck: Toy Soldier Deck (Vice Chancellor Bonaparte's Version)] 500 points.

[Deck: Reversal Quiz Deck (Underworld One-Turn Kill Blood Exchange Flow)] 1500 points.

[Deck: Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys Deck (Underworld Self-Destruct Undying Build)] 1500 points.

[Skill: High-Level Opening Hand "760" (Once per duel, guarantees drawing three high-level monsters from your starting hand)] 2000 points. "Tsk, another skill that's not very useful in this dueling world..."

Upon seeing the skill exchange option that had been refreshed, Jiang He clicked his tongue in regret and muttered something under his breath.

In this dueling world where deck synergy and supernatural powers exist, this skill is designed to reduce the occurrence of bad hand situations during duels.

It's only really useful for beginners.

With his current abilities and strength, he is clearly not within that range at all!

Immediately, Jiang He also decisively turned his attention to those three underworld card decks.

He naturally knew something about this first Vice Chancellor Bonaparte- style Toy Soldier Deck.

By summoning toy soldier monsters in large numbers, combined with numerous magic traps, you can launch direct attacks and use effects to reduce the opponent's health.

It does indeed belong to the type that is somewhat sinister.

However, its upper limit is slightly lower.

The second Reversal Quiz Deck is the "one-shot kill" deck, which involves reducing your own health and then exchanging health with your opponent.

The only drawback is that once a key card is Null and Void, this deck, which consists entirely of Spell Card, is completely powerless to fight back.

In comparison, the third Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys Deck is slightly more stable.

The effect of monsters being able to continuously revive from the graveyard, originating from an explosion field, can cause them to perish together with the opponent.

It belongs to the "Underworld Self-Destruction Undying" style.

"These three decks are really hard to choose from..." Jiang He muttered to himself after considering it carefully for a while.

I decided to be a big spender and redeem two at once!

I redeemed both the Reversal Quiz Deck and the Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys Deck.

His original 4500 Emotion Points points instantly dropped to 1500. However, with the new students who had that trick up their sleeves, and the silly Dinosaur Kenzan and his group around, Jiang He wasn't worried at all about not making a profit...

After all, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!

The only slight regret he had was that he still couldn't see Aster Phoenix, who was using the Destiny HERO, D. Hero deck, or the figure of Sartorius beside him.

Logically speaking, the other party should have appeared by now.

"So why did Professor Crowler specifically choose me, Sho, and Chumley to be the laborers carrying Duel Disk?" After finishing their Duel Theory class, the three unlucky guys— Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, and the others—were immediately called upon by Professor Crowler to act as porters. The three of them were now carrying over a dozen Duel Disk, complaining as they followed behind Jiang He and his friends towards Aunt Dorothy's convenience store. Compared to the three Jaden Yuki -blooded idiots, Jiang He was clearly much happier, with Alexis and her two best friends by his side. It was both relaxing and pleasing to the eye. "I also want to go back to the dorm for lunch... Waaaaah!" Syrus Truesdale lamented, carrying his things listlessly.

Especially with Jiang He's relaxed demeanor in front of them, he and the Chumley two felt even more heartbroken!

"But speaking of which, why did Aunt Dorothy suddenly prepare so many spare Duel Disk to sell on behalf of the academy?" Alexis Rhodes didn't seem to care about that, but instead asked with some confusion, as if she had just thought of something.

After all, the Duel Disk is a device that generally doesn't break down.

Under normal circumstances, the Duel Academy might not sell more than a few of the spare Duel Disk it prepares in a year.

"It's said that starting yesterday, someone has been stopping people on the wooden bridge leading to Aunt Dorothy's shop to challenge them to duels," Alexis's best friend, Jasmine, said, as if recalling some gossip. "Anyone carrying Duel Disk becomes the target of the challenger."

"That's right. So far, it's said that dozens of the Duel Academy students have been defeated and had their Duel Disk taken from them," Mindy added, following 5.2.

This is why the two of them hesitated for a moment when Alexis said after class that they wouldn't be going to Obelisk Blue's bento shop today, but instead going to Aunt Dorothy's convenience store.

"Block the bridge to challenge them and seize the Duel Disk...?" Upon hearing this, Jiang He's expression became somewhat amused.

Suddenly, something occurred to me!

He remembered that in the original timeline, that simple-minded young man, Dinosaur Kenzan, seemed to have blocked the wooden bridge and done this before...

However, in Jiang He's memory, the bridge that the other party blocked was not the one leading to Aunt Dorothy's convenience store, but the one on the other side.
