Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with a Dark Deck, Depressing the World

In the middle of the night yesterday, Aster Phoenix's professional duelist agent suddenly called them.

It is said that Aster Phoenix will soon officially join the Duel Academy.

Let them pick up the person.

In order to attract a professional duelist with considerable fame in the outside world of professional dueling, and to further enhance the reputation of the Duel Academy in version 5.2, and also to clear up the previous misunderstanding that Duel Academy was a "dark duel" style duel caused by the live broadcast of the duel between "good guy... devilish bad student" Jiang He and the North Academy.

Upon learning the news, Chancellor Sheppard immediately ordered the two of them to go to the island's ferry terminal to pick up the people.

I stood there for an hour in the middle of the night, letting the sea breeze blow in...

This time, however, we should finally get to see that "devilish underachiever" Jiang He suffer a setback and be defeated by a professional duelist.

When Vice Chancellor Bonaparte thought about how Jiang He had tricked him and how he owed Jiang He a huge debt of 20 million, his bulging head started to ache!

"Have the two professors and instructors from the Duel Academy, and that senior Jiang He, arrived yet?"

Meanwhile, Aster Phoenix, was getting impatient and his face was turning dark. He couldn't help but glance at his watch, then turned to Professor Crowler and Vice Chancellor Bonaparte, who were slumped back-to-back on the ground in the distance, complaining, and asked them a question.

"Um... it seems that's true, None."

When Crowler and Vice Chancellor Bonaparte were suddenly called upon, they both jumped in surprise. After regaining their senses and hearing Aster's question, they each gave a somewhat awkward reply.

"The devilish underachiever always likes to arrive right on time, whether it's for class or accepting a challenge."

Vice Chancellor Bonaparte echoed this.

After more than 10 months of getting to know him, as someone who owes 20 million yuan, he has been "tortured" by Jiang He several times.

Therefore, they had long since turned a blind eye to Jiang He's frequent punctuality and near-late arrivals to class.

I have gained some understanding of Jiang He.

Even some ordinary Duel Academy students sitting in the spectator area.

Including Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Tenjouin Atticus Rhodes, and Bastion Misawa Daichi, they all appeared to be resting with their eyes closed, showing no sign of feeling strange at all.

If it weren't for the concern that Jiang He might not play by the rules and suddenly arrive at the dueling arena early today...

The three of them had originally planned to arrive just in time...

"The golden egg bread for breakfast today was really good, it's a pity that Aunt Dorothy's shop can only make one a day."

Just as Aster Phoenix and the others were furrowing their brows in frustration, they suddenly heard a familiar voice that made them grit their teeth in anger, coming from the direction of the dueling arena entrance.

Instantly, his gaze, along with everyone else's, turned towards the entrance!

Soon, they saw Jiang He looking like he had just eaten and drunk his fill, gently patting his stomach and sighing as he walked in with Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome who were with him.

Seeing so many eyes on him at the same time, Jiang He was slightly taken aback.

There are so many people?

He remembered that in the original timeline, when that little gray- Aster Phoenix fought against that hot-blooded idiot Jaden.

To prevent the opponent from revealing their true main deck information, D. hero specifically requested Duel Academy and Jaden Yuki that no spectators be allowed.

I never expected that now they'd switch to a duel first, without even mentioning any conditions...

Jiang He couldn't help but give a strange look as he glanced at the silver-haired young man already standing on the dueling arena platform.

Why is this little gray-haired guy suddenly so easy to talk to?

What he didn't know was that the other party was simply worried that he would cause some trouble again...

"Senior Jiang He, you're really slow! I almost thought you were scared and hiding, Senior."

Seeing Jiang He's late arrival and his strange gaze, Aster's face darkened slightly. He quickly regained his composure, then smiled and, displaying the skill of a Yin-Yang master, spread his hands and said...

Although they addressed him as "senior," they showed absolutely no respect.

It sounds more like a joke or teasing.

"Aster Phoenix's tone is really quite infuriating..."

Tyranno Hassleberry, along with Chazz Princeton, Syrus Truesdale, and the others, immediately gritted their teeth and complained.

Even Alexis Rhodes, along with Atticus Rhodes, Kaiser Zane Truesdale, who were already seated in the spectator area, frowned.

Jiang He shrugged and shook his head in response.

"As a senior, I always feel obligated to mentor younger generations; how could I possibly refuse?"

Since the other party likes to call him "senior," Jiang He said he doesn't mind making this senior-junior relationship a reality!

"Younger generation..."

Alexis Rhodes, along with Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others, all suddenly adopted strange expressions.

When it comes to things that sound infuriating, the level of sarcasm and irony here is truly heavyweight.

Upon hearing this, Aster Phoenix frowned slightly in displeasure.

This was the first time he had ever tried, and he couldn't gain any advantage verbally at all.

"Then let's let our strength speak for itself and begin this duel to see who is more worthy of the Hero 780 deck, Jiang He."

For the first time, Aster's expression turned serious, and he spoke directly without any sarcasm or irony.

"I'll show you who the real master is when it comes to using HERO Deck!" As he spoke, he took out a deck and placed it into the Duel Disk.

"Since you've said so, let's begin. My upgraded Dark HERO Deck is itching for a fight anyway." Jiang He said calmly, taking out a deck and putting it into his Duel Disk. After gesturing to Alexis Rhodes, he also walked to the other side of the Duel Arena. Seeing this, Alexis Rhodes and the others also moved to the side and sat in the spectator area near Atticus Rhodes and the others.

Look towards the dueling arena.

"Therefore, we hereby declare the duel between the underachiever boy Jiang He and Aster Phoenix begins!"

Meanwhile, the blond-haired mushroom-headed professor and Vice Chancellor Bonaparte once again took on the role of presiding over the duel.

"Duel!" "Duel!"

After the two professors with golden hair and mushroom heads finished their announcement, they quickly jumped off the dueling arena platform and gave up their seats.

Jiang He and Aster Phoenix spoke at the same time, and the Duel Disk they were wearing instantly flashed red and unfolded.

As each player drew five cards from their deck, the same [4000LP] Life Points appeared around them. "My turn goes first, draw!"

Unwilling to accept defeat, Aster seized the initiative again, drawing cards from his deck first. After glancing at the cards he drew, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

With a smile, he raised the card and said to Jiang He, "Take a good look, see the true power of my deck's hero!" "I summon in Attack Position, [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude]!" Aster said, immediately slamming the card onto the Duel Disk! "Whoosh!!" With a flash of light, a gray-haired hero monster with many diamond fragments embedded in its body and wearing a dark green cloak appeared!

He appeared on the field in front of Aster Phoenix with a low growl!

[D·hero Diamond Man]

[Defense Strength: 1600]

"That Aster Phoenix's real deck is also D. hero, the Destiny HERO?!"

Around the arena, in the spectator areas, Bastion Misawa, Kaiser Maru, and Kaiser Zane Truesdale all wore expressions of surprise. Aside from the D. Hero monster used by Ego during his duel with Jaden Yuki Jiang He, this was the first time they'd seen anyone possess Destiny HERO monster from the D. Hero series! Alexis Rhodes and the others seemed to suddenly understand a small part of why Aster Phoenix was so determined to duel Jiang He...

"[Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude]'s effect: I can check the top card of my deck. If it's Spell Card, I can send it to the Graveyard. And on my next turn, I can activate the effect of that Spell Card that was sent to the Graveyard!" Aster said, raising his hand to his deck and then showing the top card.

"The card I drew is the Spell Card [Graceful Charity]. This is fate." "All destinies were predetermined from the very beginning!" Hearing his boastful words with a smile, Jiang He couldn't help but twitch his lips and retort, "How can you make a divine draw sound so refined and elegant...?"

He stated that Jaden, that hot-blooded idiot, called his incredible draws "bonds," which at least showed some respect for the supernatural forces in the dueling world. But for this little gray-haired guy, it's called fate...

He's clearly the type who's been completely fooled by his good buddy, Sartorius, who's possessed by the consciousness of that Light of Destruction.

Jiang He interrupted his attempt to show off.

Aster Phoenix's face darkened slightly, then he continued.

"Based on the effect of [Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude], I'll send this [Graceful Charity] to the Graveyard, so I can use it directly next turn!" Then, I'll bury two more cards, and end my turn!

As two "thump" sounds rang out, two huge back cards suddenly appeared on the field in front of Aster.

The round has ended.

"Now it's my turn, draw a card!" Jiang He drew a card from his Duel Disk deck.

After glancing at the card he had drawn, he added it to his hand with satisfaction.

He then took out a card and slammed it onto his Duel Disk. "I summon [Elemental HERO Stratos] in Attack!" "Hah!!"

With a flash of light, a hero-monster figure clad in blue armor and with mechanical wings on his back leaped out in a Mystical Space Typhoon.

It landed in front of Jiang He with a low growl.

[Elemental HERO Stratos]

[Attack Power: 1800]

[Defense: 300]

"[Elemental HERO Stratos]?! It's a new hero monster that I didn't use when I dueled with it before!" Jaden Yuki exclaimed excitedly.

Alexis Rhodes, along with Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the other Duel Academy students watching the match, all couldn't help but show expressions of curiosity.

Looking towards Jiang He on the dueling field, and at the newly summoned hero monster!

Even Aster Phoenix He's dueling opponent, looked at Jiang He from a distance with a hint of surprise.

Clearly, they had never seen the [Elemental HERO Stratos] that Jiang He was using before!

"The effect of [Elemental HERO Stratos] allows you to add one monster with 'hero' in its name from your Deck to your hand." Jiang He said, picking up a card that automatically popped out of his Deck and adding it to his hand!

Immediately, he placed five of his remaining six cards onto the Duel Disk! Then he buried five more cards, and the turn ended!

Five enormous, back-facing card shadows appeared one after another on the field in front of Jiang He!

An invisible aura emanated from Zhao Qian. "Here we go again... Pure!" (Image: Backcourt Five Covers, please advise.)

Jaden Yuki, Bastion Misawa, and Chazz Princeton all instantly paled, watching this scene with painful memories flooding their minds, and simultaneously complained.

Even the other spectators were sweating profusely.

As expected of an upgraded version of the Dark HERO Deck.

After the five cards in the back row, there was even one more card in hand than in the previous duel.

"Hmph, this is the moment I've been waiting for. Activate the Ambush Card, Continuous Trap [Royal Decree]!"

At that moment, Aster Phoenix suddenly revealed a triumphant smile, raising his hand to point to one of the two hidden cards on the field in front of him!

A perpetual trap, featuring a familiar brown royal city and a king issuing decrees, was suddenly revealed!
