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

He even planned to bring his underlings Syrus Truesdale and Chumley, along to take a look!

Syrus Truesdale Sho was terrified!

"If you're planning to go take a look, I don't mind at all, just remember to be careful and don't let anything happen," Jiang He said casually.

If that hot-blooded idiot Jaden were to go and test the waters for him, he certainly wouldn't mind at all.

Anyway, if he shows up there, he's most likely a burly man picking his toes...

Nighttime, inside the luxurious cabin.

Jiang He had just finished taking a bath, changed into a loose set of pajamas, and was comfortably planning to go back to her room to sleep.

As soon as he reached the second floor, he saw Alexis Rhodes leaning against the wall, waiting for him.

"What a carefree guy! There are still some tricky things happening outside." Seeing Jiang He's relaxed and leisurely appearance, Alexis Rhodes couldn't help but look at him with amusement. At the same time, she straightened up from the wall she was leaning against and stepped forward to help Jiang He adjust the collar of his pajamas. "Um... compared to that, I think it's more important that you seem to be showing more and more of a girlfriend's demeanor lately, Alexis." Jiang He nodded contentedly.

"You're becoming more and more like a girlfriend... Don't say weird things!"

Alexis Rhodes blushed slightly and quickly and somewhat awkwardly tried to appear assertive. She also vaguely sensed that it was because of Rei Saotome's constant provocations that she had become much more assertive and direct, even when she would have been reserved and hesitant before.

My feelings for someone have also progressed quite quickly.

However, Alexis Rhodes had absolutely no intention of thanking Rei Saotome... because this girl was truly focused on stealing her boyfriend!

"So, what are your plans regarding Sartorius and the Society of Light?" Alexis Rhodes, feeling a little embarrassed by his gaze, changed the subject and continued with the more serious matter. "Judging from the actual situation of the method Jaden Yuki and Chazz Princeton used during the day, it seems that it can only temporarily slow down the expansion of the Society of Light, which Sartorius Brain Control. If this continues, the Duel Academy will definitely become somewhat chaotic sooner or later."

After all, while Jaden Yuki' Shadow Duel could restore the Obelisk Blue students who had been dyed white, it also allowed them to do so.

However, those who have engaged in Shadow Duel, especially those who have lost, will suffer injuries of varying degrees during the process.

Today alone, Nurse Fontaine's infirmary was already incredibly busy. Even though she was just helping to move some medical supplies like gauze, she, along with Rei Saotome and Jasmine, went to get them more than once today.

If the number of injured people continues to increase, even if the terrifying rumors of her brother and his friends engaging in Shadow Duel don't spread within the Duel Academy, Nurse Fontaine's infirmary will soon be overflowing...

"Uh... my plan is, of course, to follow the first method I mentioned before and directly target the source of Sartorius's problem, making his ability to Brain Control people disappear."

Jiang He immediately guessed Alexis's considerations and, after giving her a brief explanation, shrugged and said...

This would give Alexis some idea of what to expect.

"As for until that opportunity arises, we can only wait and see what moves they make and deal with them one by one."

Hearing Jiang He's words, Alexis Rhodes sighed helplessly, "So in the end, only the first method is the best strategy to solve the problem?"

"Ahem, Alexis, Rei should be asleep by now. As someone who cares about others, I think you could consider resting in this room or something!"

Jiang He suddenly coughed, adopting the upright and incorruptible demeanor of a model young man, and "earnestly" proposed to Alexis Rhodes!

"..." Alexis Rhodes glanced at him with a face full of black lines.

They instantly saw through the person's rather obvious little scheme.

"Fool!"

Alexis Rhodes blushed slightly and whispered something to him.

"Lord Jiang He, I'm not asleep yet!"

Rei Saotome's voice soon came from the guest room, her face puffed out angrily as she poked her head out!

They didn't tell her to move to the master bedroom next door!

If you say it to her, she'll definitely agree!

"..." Now it was Jiang He's turn to feel a little numb.

If he actually let this little fangirl stay in his room, he'd probably get arrested in no time...!

"Well, Li, since you're not asleep yet, then we don't need to." Jiang He changed his mind, feeling rather awkward.

"Pfft." Seeing his sullen look, Alexis Rhodes couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth with her hand.

Before heading back to her room to rest, taking advantage of Rei Saotome's inattention, she hesitated for a moment, then turned back to give Jiang He a comforting kiss on the cheek, before smiling and saying, "Well then, goodnight."

Uh... um!

Jiang He was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and nodded in response with some satisfaction.

He suggested that gradually making this "goodnight" habit a daily routine might be a good approach!

Meanwhile, Jiang He, contentedly carrying the little floating, Sphere Kuriboh, returned to his room to rest.

Near the lighthouse at the Duel Academy's dock, a middle-aged man in a suit, wearing glasses and with a naturally sinister expression, was waiting with a briefcase in his hand.

I kept glancing at my watch; the sea breeze at the pier was almost making me numb from waiting...!

Chapter 322 Something seems off! [Please subscribe]

"Damn it, why hasn't that kid Jiang He shown up yet Aster Phoenix? Did the King of the Sartorius really send someone to deliver the enticement letter to that kid...?"

The middle-aged man with a sinister appearance and glasses grew impatient as he waited in the cold wind until his legs went numb.

It's already past midnight...!

"Hey sir over there, you're the one who wrote that letter in the cupboard, challenging me to a duel, right?"

Just then, a somewhat excited, hot-blooded, and silly voice suddenly rang out from not far from the dock lighthouse.

The middle-aged, sinister-looking man turned his head with a flicker of emotion and saw a student dressed in the red uniform of the Duel Academy, followed by two short boys dressed similarly and a chubby boy who looked like a koala. They quickly jogged to the dock!

She looked at him excitedly and asked him a question!

"The guy in the red clothes from the Duel Academy 'Slifer Red, and he even knows about that letter... it seems this kid must be Jiang He, the one Sartorius hired me to deal with."

The middle-aged, sinister-looking man sized up the hot-blooded idiot, Jaden Yuki, and immediately made a "judgment"!

"Since you've already seen through it—that it wasn't a love letter, but a challenge—then I don't need to say anything more."

The middle-aged, sinister-looking man wearing small glasses smiled slightly, slowly raised one hand and placed it in front of him, speaking with great politeness.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am a professional duelist named 'X,' or you can call me Drest X."

"I've always wanted to duel with you, the one who defeated that rising star prodigy duelist, Aster Phoenix."

The middle-aged, sinister-looking man, who called himself the professional duelist X, added a sentence as if worried that "Jiang He" in front of him wouldn't duel him.

"By the way, compared to the indeed quite powerful Aster, my current ranking in the professional dueling world is higher than his."

"Although something feels off, I did defeat Aster."

Upon hearing this, Jaden Yuki scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said...

But soon, as a seasoned card player, he put these doubts out of his mind!

He looked at the other person with some excitement and said, "But being able to duel with a duelist ranked higher than Aster is truly an exciting thing!"

"Then let's begin the duel, old man!"

"..." The middle-aged, sinister-looking man, X, paused slightly.

So, the target that the Sartorius hired him to deal with, Jiang He, was actually such a hot-blooded young man who was passionate about dueling?

"Hmph, but that's fine too. After dueling with me, the bond between you and your deck will become a complete mess."

Drest X chuckled inwardly.

The next morning, in the large classroom of the Duel Academy.

"Today's alchemy lesson will be an extension of the basic symbol called Amnael, and will include experiments..."

The squinty-eyed Professor Banner, sat at the front of the classroom, holding some bottles and jars, giving an alchemy lesson.

Jiang He glanced at the situation in front of the podium with a bored expression, yawned, and then began to drift off into his own thoughts.

I'm planning to check out the updated redemption options in the System Shop today.

However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed something, something slightly different about the large classroom compared to before.

After Jiang He glanced at a spot not far away, he quickly discovered the problem!

That hot-blooded idiot, Jaden Yuki, isn't here!

Only the unlucky two Syrus Truesdale and Chumley, sat there somewhat absentmindedly.

They didn't even sleep.

"Could something have happened...?" Jiang He raised an eyebrow in surprise and muttered to himself.

Even though Jaden Yuki comes to this large classroom for class.

57 Backup Transfer Group 850296501

But he rarely skipped class; he simply didn't come.

Furthermore, it's clear that something happened to Syrus Truesdale and Chumley.

"As for Jaden, I don't know what happened. This morning, she seemed to be huddled under the covers with her head down, and I couldn't wake her up at all."

In the front row, Chazz Princeton leaned back a bit and glanced at the empty seat, then explained the situation to Jiang He and discussed it.

Because he needed to give that dark tool to Kaiser Zane Truesdale and Atticus Rhodes- senpai today, he went directly to the dormitory room next door Jaden Yuki, and Syrus Truesdale lived.

As it turned out, they witnessed something slightly unusual about Jaden Yuki.

"Could it be that he fought someone imbued with the power of Sartorius and was defeated, causing some problems and leaving him in a bad mood..."

Upon hearing what Chazz Princeton said, Jiang He muttered to himself, a vague suspicion rising within him.

He remembered that in the original timeline, Jaden, that hot-blooded idiot, was defeated by that little gray- Aster Phoenix.

They were ambushed by the Sartorius's Light of Destruction power attached to Aster's deck.

The ability to see the Duel Monsters Spirit has been temporarily sealed.

Even when looking at the entire deck, all you can see is a blank page; there are no monsters at all.

This made it impossible to continue the duel for the time being.

It seems that Jaden Yuki was in a similar situation to the one he is in now...

And coincidentally, yesterday that hot-blooded idiot Jaden seemed to have said he wanted to go check out the lighthouse at the dock.

Jiang He immediately had some vague guesses.

Could that "love letter trap" have been prepared by the Sartorius's men...?

Almost simultaneously, in the special student quarters near the Obelisk Blue dormitory.

At this moment, the Sartorius was also sitting at his table, looking at the figure of the middle-aged, sinister man wearing small glasses and carrying a briefcase who had entered the room!

He chuckled and asked, "Is it resolved, world's third-ranked professional duelist hunter, X the Destroyer?"

"Of course," X, whose face was etched with a sense of dejection, nodded matter-of-factly.
