Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck and Depressing the World, Part 195

Jiang He then looked at Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome, who were still standing, and said, "Then let's go for a walk too. Alexis, you also need to find an unlucky opponent to win your first match of the day."

"No... that unlucky fellow, perhaps we don't need to go looking for him today."

Upon hearing this, Alexis Rhodes coughed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Actually, while I was having breakfast, Jasmine and Mindy suddenly sent me a message saying they wanted to give me the medal."

Her two best friends, Jasmine and Mindy, both felt that the World Duel Tournament had progressed to this point, and it was highly likely that they would not be able to continue.

So I plan to duel with her today and indirectly "give" her my medal.

At least compared to dueling with other strangers, losing to her is better than losing to other strangers. Not only will it make me feel better, but I can also be of some help.

"Uh... having two close female friends has its perks?" Upon hearing Alexis's words, Jiang He muttered to himself, his eyes subtly shifting.

In crucial moments, they can even help by feeding kills to the enemy team, thus boosting their score.

Although with Alexis's strength, she doesn't actually need these things and can win all the way until only the top few are left.

But it saved me the trouble of finding an opponent today.

After all, following the World Duel Tournament these past few days, most of the students at the Duel Academy have become quite adept at "dodging."

This World Duel Tournament has been turned into a "werewolf game on an island."

"I already said there's no such thing as a 'follower' or 'best friend'!" Alexis Rhodes blushed slightly as she corrected Jiang He.

"If I had known it would turn out this way, I should have challenged those two seniors, Jasmine and Mindy, first. At least I could have won more medals before dueling with Jiang He."

Rei Saotome nearby, also spoke with some regret.

Because her first opponent was Alexis Rhodes 5.2), even with her already considerable strength, she suffered a first-round exit in this World Duel Tournament...

And yet, he hasn't been able to help Lord Jiang He in any way.

"Uh... that doesn't matter. It's just etiquette; I don't lack rivals anyway."

Seeing the little fangirl's somewhat regretful expression, Jiang He coughed and gently patted her head as a form of comfort.

Rei Saotome happily hugged his arm in return.

Seeing this, Jiang He quickly changed the subject and gestured to go to the agreed-upon location where Alexis's two best friends, Jasmine and Mindy, were "hiding"!

Because he had already noticed that Alexis's gaze beside him had become somewhat "kind"...!

"Damn it, even Aster, who just got the ultimate D. Hero card, is having problems!"

In the lobby on the second floor of the Obelisk Blue dormitory, Sartorius sat at a glass table, looking at a stack of documents and messages on the table with a gloomy expression!

Above is the result of some duels that took place in the past day among most of the Duel Academy students participating in the World Duel Tournament, as well as professional duelists and elites from the Duel Academy branch campuses!

And many things that happened during this period.

And the photo of that little gray-haired Ed Phoenix, along with the news that he came out from near the Osiris Red Dormitory without any duel with Jiang He, was placed at the very top! "However, according to the latest news, the helicopter of that Serpent God Kingdom's Prince Okin will arrive at the Duel Academy the day after tomorrow morning!" The expression on the King's face quickly became somewhat manic and exaggerated! "Hmph! My plan is almost complete!"

"This world will soon be enveloped in Light of Destruction!"

"Speaking of which, Alexis, you and this guy really do get along very well."

"Indeed, yesterday it was five medals each, but today it's nine."

On the way from the Duel Academy to Aunt Dorothy store, Alexis's two best friends, Jasmine and Mindy, followed beside her, each saying a few words to Alexis Rhodes.

He also glanced at Jiang He.

Yesterday, the two of them fought each other, allowing the other person to successfully survive another day.

Therefore, after losing to Alexis Rhodes, they directly awarded her four silver medals.

Adding to the five medals Alexis had yesterday, she now has a total of nine medals.

Jiang He, having dealt with that unfortunate Vice Chancellor Bonaparte early this morning, also obtained four items from him...

The number of medals you have now is the same as Alexis's, 9.

It can be said that Alexis Rhodes's pace in all aspects is now remarkably in sync with someone!

"Um... that was just a coincidence!"

Hearing their somewhat teasing words, Alexis Rhodes paused for a moment, then quickly blushed slightly, trying to cover it up by saying, "Besides, it's perfectly normal to take pictures with your boyfriend, isn't it?"

"That's right, that's right. The fact that Alexis- senpai and Jiang He have the same number of medals is just a coincidence!"

As soon as Alexis uttered her evasive words, Jiang He, standing beside Rei Saotome, immediately nodded and said, "Help!"

She stated that it was purely a coincidence, and not because the two were inherently compatible!

"!!!" This caused Alexis Rhodes already feeling a bit awkward, to have a vein throbbing on her forehead, forming a "#" sign.

Then, seeing Jiang He's subtle expression, she changed her tune, her face darkening with embarrassment. "No! Jiang He and I are actually very compatible, which is why this seemingly coincidental situation is possible."

"Alexis- senpai, that's not what you said just now!" Rei Saotome immediately retorted.

"That's just a girl's modesty!" Alexis Rhodes also stared back at the little girl, ready to fight back.

A spark flashed through the air for a moment!

Seeing this, Jasmine and Mindy, who were standing beside them, nervously gripped their hands tightly.

Jiang He, caught in the middle, seemed to have anticipated this situation, and his face remained completely calm!

Alexis and her devoted fan, Rei Saotome, would bicker and argue with each other twice a day.

He's pretty used to it now!

Someone even repeatedly became a beneficiary of it...

"Hey, over there they're having a duel... doesn't that look like Jaden Yuki?"

Just then, Alexis's two best friends, Jasmine and Mindy, suddenly looked into the distance with some surprise, as if they had seen something.

Upon hearing their words, Jiang He and the two women beside him, Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome, who had been looking at each other, couldn't help but glance over as well.

Soon they saw a Duel Academy building complex in the distance, where two people were engaged in a duel.

One of them, dressed in Slifer Red and sporting a brown jellyfish-like hairstyle, was none other than that hot-blooded idiot Jaden, who had recently been sent by Professor Crowler to carry Vice Chancellor Bonaparte to the infirmary!

Beside him was that unlucky guy, Syrus Truesdale, who had gone with them earlier.

Meanwhile, in the distance opposite, someone was engaged in a duel with Jaden Yuki.

It was the figure of an elite student from a branch school, dressed in brown, with a pointed tuft of hair sticking up on his forehead and dark circles under his eyes!

On the back of the other person's hand, there was a dark, ominous skull tattoo!

At this moment, Jaden Yuki has a Nendoroid monster that he just summoned in Defense Position on his field, along with an Ambush Card.

Moreover, his health points are still intact [4000LP].

Exactly the same as the other party.

Clearly, this duel has only just begun its first round!

Moreover, it was Jaden Yuki who attacked first.

"Is that the student in the brown clothes... someone who was once Chazz Princeton member of the North Academy...?"

Alexis Rhodes immediately recognized the person's general background from the distinctive uniform of a student from the North Academy. However, she didn't seem to have seen this person before during the North Academy's competition... She wondered if he was a recent freshman or someone who was hiding somewhere.

"This person is... Tachibana Ikkaku?"

Seeing the iconic long, cone-shaped ahoge on his head and the jet-black skull tattoo on the back of his hand, Jiang He suddenly realized who the opponent was who was dueling with that hot-blooded idiot Jaden Yuki. He muttered to himself.

Isn't he the original owner of the few cheap, low-tier card decks he redeemed from the system before, the "Iaido Draw" deck?

If he remembered correctly, this guy also seemed to have a "cheat code" at this moment.

That was a special card from the North Academy, which had been sealed away for a long time. It was the power of a "1-star" Duel Monsters Spirit called the Reaper.

It possesses the ability to make those who sign a contract with it, and who will trade their souls to it after a period of time, have an almost godlike ability to draw cards during duels, similar to that of the hot-blooded idiot Jaden Yuki!

However, similar to his Top-Tier Clear Mind, this kind of divine draw ability, with the power of that 1-star Duel Monsters Spirit named "The Reaper," is basically only enough for about one use per duel...

If there's any more, the energy supply might not be enough.

Furthermore, there's a side effect: after engaging in a certain number of duels, you'll need to sell your soul to the other party...

Jiang He Heyuan calls it a "life-risking version of the Clear Mind".

Not to mention his current ability to draw a Top-Tier Clear Mind card that isn't in his deck once per game.

Even the old, un-upgraded "Clear Mind" skill was much better than this!

However, combined with the opponent's "Iaijutsu draw" deck, it was indeed quite outrageous.

Unless a key card is interrupted, even the world's top-ranked professional duelists can be caught off guard and defeated in one turn!

"He is indeed an elite from the North Academy, named Tachibana Ikkaku. In this World Duel Tournament, he is known as the Reaper Duelist, having defeated ten opponents in a row and earned twenty-one medals!"

Jasmine, one of Alexis's two best friends with short red hair, took out the Duel Academy's communicator and looked at some publicly available information on it in surprise.

"Moreover, it's said that he kills almost any opponent in one go, even several professional duelists are no exception!"

Mindy, who was standing nearby, also looked at the information on the communicator and exclaimed in surprise.

"He's already killed ten opponents in one go?!"

Upon hearing their words, both Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Especially Alexis Rhodes, she suddenly remembered the rumors about the North Academy, which seemed to mention the existence of a sealed legendary the Reaper Card.

It grants the ability to draw cards with a single, decisive blow.

The other person happens to have this name; could it be related to that legendary card from the North Academy?

"Let's go take a look too." Jiang He raised an eyebrow upon seeing the situation and suggested walking over there.

Seeing this, Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome followed suit.

They soon arrived at the spectator position for that unlucky little guy Syrus Truesdale.

Looking at the situation on the dueling arena.

"Jiang He, Alexis- senpai, you've arrived too." Seeing Jiang He and the others suddenly appear, Syrus Truesdale was momentarily stunned. He quickly explained the situation, saying, "My brother and I just carried Vice Chancellor Bonaparte to the infirmary, and we haven't been out for long."

"It just so happened that we encountered this the Reaper Duelist named Tachibana Ikkaku on the way, and my older brother became his target for a challenge."

"Because of the rules of this World Duel Tournament, the eldest brother, who hasn't had his first duel yet, couldn't refuse the challenge, so he accepted."

Syrus Truesdale became somewhat nervous as he looked towards the dueling arena.

"I wonder if my older brother will also be killed in one go by that the Reaper Duelist."

"I don't think we need to worry too much about that."

Upon hearing this, Jiang He shook his head with considerable certainty.
