Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with a Wicked Deck and Depressing the World, Part 226

Could it be that we can't stand by Jiang Daishanren, through thick and thin...?!

Obviously not!

He had even had old man Eisenstein use instruments to roughly analyze and scan the Satellite SOLA Key, confirming its unreplicable nature.

"..." Hearing Jiang He's sarcastic remarks, the short, purplish-red Prince Ojin's face darkened with annoyance.

This is equivalent to him giving up a portion of his future glory as king.

It was already the most "valuable" thing he owned.

It's something that can't be compared to "worldly things" like a little money!

But this guy didn't like it at all...!

"So, on that basis, how about adding a portion of the gold mines owned by the Serpent God Kingdom, along with an equivalent amount of money?" The short, purplish-red Prince Ojin could only grit his teeth and try to increase his stakes again.

"Well... it's not bad!" Jiang He stroked his chin thoughtfully, then nodded in satisfaction.

He said that if things had been more practical sooner, he, Jiang, would have agreed to the exchange much earlier!

"..." Seeing Jiang He He's disgusted expression, Prince Ojin and his secretary Rindo fell silent.

Isn't this guy a little too realistic?

A moment later, Jiang He returned to his luxurious cabin, satisfied with the card he had obtained and a medal featuring a crown and a coiled snake.

"Is that... some kind of medal from the Serpent God Kingdom?"

Seeing him sit down and casually toss the medal to Camula to put away, Chazz Princeton exclaimed in surprise, "But, it seems there aren't any medals like this in the Serpent God Kingdom's nobility system, are there?"

Bastion Misawa was also sitting on the soft ground some distance away, looking at Jiang He's back with some doubt, carefully recalling the medal he had tossed to Camula.

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find a title from the Serpent God Kingdom that matched his understanding.

As a leading nation in the world, the Serpent God Kingdom still holds some recognition in the real-world dueling arena.

This made Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and Alexis Rhodes next to Jiang He, wonder if Jiang He had been tricked by that Prince Ojin and his group!

However, they soon saw Jiang He stuff a sushi into his mouth, his cheeks bulging, and casually remark, "That's definitely a newly created one, it's called something like the Honorary Prince title."

"A... an honorary prince?!"

In an instant, Syrus Truesdale, Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and the others all stared wide-eyed at Jiang He in astonishment.

I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, "Wow!"

This directly resulted in him being granted the title of Honorary Prince of the Serpent God Kingdom?!

"Now, this guy is more than just rich..."

Seeing Jiang He nod in confirmation, Chazz Princeton Bastion Misawa, Syrus Truesdale, and the others were so envious that they numbly stuffed lemons into their mouths!

Does this mean that from now on, everyone else in the Duel Academy will have to call him Prince Jiang He, just like they call that Prince Ojin?!

Even Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, a card player who never cared about these things, was so envious he almost broke apart...!

Everyone was a "commoner" before, so how did Jiang He suddenly become a super nobleman!

"Then please call me the future Princess!" Rei Saotome immediately jumped up to Jiang He, hooking her arm around his and saying, "Hey! You little girl over there, I told you not to lay a hand on other people's boyfriends!"

Upon seeing this, Alexis Rhodes's face darkened, and she grabbed Jiang He's other arm, glaring at Rei Saotome. "Hehehe, it's not just you, Alexis- senpai!" As Rei Saotome stuck out her tongue and made a face at Alexis, the two quickly found themselves staring at each other, sparks flying in mid-air...!

The group of people sitting on the soft cloth opposite them— Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, and Tyranno Hassleberry —all fell into a silence, their expressions turning into those of middle-aged women with thick lips. Then, they all began to numbly stuff lemons into their mouths, silently munching on them... Perhaps they shouldn't have come in the first place.

Only Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, saw Jiang He looking like he was caught up in the struggle between Alexis Rhodes and her little fangirl Rei Saotome, feeding her.

With a chilling expression, he whispered to Syrus Truesdale and Chazz Princeton, who were numbly munching on lemons beside him, "Jiang He really has it tough, having to face this kind of terrifying situation every day." "!" "???" Upon hearing Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa, Syrus Truesdale, and the others were instantly stunned and turned to look at him!

I really want to ask!

How did you figure out this guy was working hard?!

In response, Jiang He said that he had worked really hard!

However, as the saying goes, "No pain, no gain," and Jiang Daishanren is willing to endure even more hardship!

"So that's how it is. Sartorius has withdrawn from the Duel Academy and returned to being the manager of professional duelist Aster Phoenix."

"Next, we will continue with today's theoretical lesson."

With the World Duel Tournament concluded, the classes at the Duel Academy quickly returned to normal.

At that moment, the blond, mushroom-headed professor was giving a theoretical lecture at the podium in the large classroom.

I also briefly informed everyone about the current World Duel Tournament.

Jiang He yawned, propping his chin up with one hand on the table behind him, and took a look at the contents. The final result he heard was that, apart from his victory, Kaiser Zane Truesdale and Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, tied for second place, Chazz Princeton, that goofball, ranked fourth because he had one less medal than the other two, even though he was defeated later.

Then comes Alexis Rhodes tenth.

Among them were several top professional duelists and branch school elites, including the recovered little gray- Aster Phoenix.

"The skill gap within the Duel Academy is truly quite large..." Jiang He muttered to himself after hearing the result.

While this ranking cannot fully reflect the strength of an opponent, there are instances like that of Ed the Gray- Aster who challenged Sartorius to a duel midway through the competition and was defeated prematurely.

However, we can still get a general idea of the situation.

Aside from Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, and Kaiser Zane Truesdale, and Chazz Princeton, who were his closest friends.

Of all the people left in the Duel Academy, only a handful were still considered relatively strong.

Her ranking isn't much lower than Alexis's.

Most of the other Duel Academy students didn't rank very well.

Few are higher than professional duelists and branch school elites.

Based on this situation, Jiang He estimated that Chancellor Sheppard would soon take action, just as was predicted in the original timeline, to try and improve the situation.

With that in mind, Jiang He didn't dwell on it any longer. After glancing at the blond, mushroom-headed professor giving a basic theory lesson in the distance, he immediately started checking his system panel with his eyes half-closed, as usual.

[Name: Jiang He]

[Skills: Duel Spirit Sight Ability, Top-Tier Clear Mind, Mark of the Crimson Dragon - Quetzalcoatl Power, Earthbound Immortal Mark - Mark of the Hummingbird / Demonic Ape Mark]

Earthbound Immortal Mark: Spider Mark (The ability to use a target defeated in Shadow Duel and controlled by oneself as a sacrifice in place of oneself in a Shadow Duel, once per duel)

[Currently owned decks: One-Turn Kill Exodia the Forbidden One Deck, Lava Golem Deck... Dark HERO Deck, Hummingbird Earthbound Immortal Deck, Trickstar Swords of Revealing Light Deck, World Lock Deck.]

[Emotion Points: 19000]

"Wow, that's already 19,000 Emotion Points...?" Jiang He was taken aback when he saw that number!

Then, he quickly flashed a satisfied smile!

He remembered that after exchanging for the Earthbound Immortal Mark: Spider Mark, and World Lock Deck, he should have only had about 11,500 points left.

Now it has directly turned into a score of 19,000 Emotion Points.

The extra 7500 points of ridiculous Emotion Points were clearly provided by that old trickster, Sartorius, or rather, by the Light of Destruction!

"Even old man Kagemaru's wool isn't this thick!" Jiang He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

All he could say was, if possible, please be resurrected so he could fleece the sheep a few more times!

That way, even if he gets the most expensive skills or the Duel Monsters Spirit that require a lot of Emotion Points to materialize using the power of the Mark of the Crimson Dragon, he can be a "rich shopper" and spend it all without hesitation!

After all, putting aside everything else, just consider Camula's people who are still in the Duel Monsters Spirit World and the Underworld.

Jiang He would need to consume a significant amount of Emotion Points points and use the power bestowed by the Crimson Dragon from the Mark of the Crimson Dragon to perform a physical resurrection.

The advantage is that the Duel Monsters Spirit materialized using the power of his Mark of the Crimson Dragon can all be considered his people.

This can be seen as indirectly increasing their own strength.

Send in more vampire henchmen!

Of course, what Jiang He really hopes for is that he can get a skill that speeds up the awakening of Duel Monsters Spirit later on...

After all, the prerequisite for his Mark of the Crimson Dragon to materialize Duel Monsters Spirit is that the target must be an awakened Duel Monsters Spirit.

"Please wait a moment before leaving, everyone. Chancellor Sheppard has something else to announce!" Professor Crowler finally finished his lesson at the far end of the large classroom. Jiang He, yawning, was woken up by the Sphere Kuriboh. He was about to get up and leave with Tenjouin Asuka, Rei Saotome, and the other students from Alexis Rhodes 907 when...

Suddenly, the blond, mushroom-headed professor spoke again, "There's one more thing to announce?"

Whether it was Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome sitting next to Jiang He, or Manjoume, the hot-blooded idiot Jaden Yuki who had Chazz Princeton, Syrus Truesdale, and the others in the row in front, they all couldn't help but show puzzled expressions upon hearing this.

Even Jiang He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a guess already vaguely rising in his mind.

Could this be the aftermath of the World Duel Tournament...?

Soon, the bald Chancellor Sheppard, who had been waiting outside the large classroom, walked in.

When he reached the podium, he looked at the crowd!

Behind him stood the short, stout coach, who stood alongside Professor Crowler.

"First of all, congratulations to all the winners on your achievements in this World Duel Tournament, especially to the (BAFC) Duel Academy members, represented by Jiang He!" Upon entering, Chancellor Sheppard, with a smile, nodded towards Jiang He and said.

Then, he slightly changed the subject.

"However, given that most students from the Duel Academy did not achieve ideal results in the World Duel Tournament, and even avoided fighting altogether, lacking the courage to face defeat that duelists should have."

"Therefore, after discussing with the Duel Academy's board of directors, I have decided to implement a comprehensive reform to strengthen the Duel Academy!"

"Consider this another special gift I've prepared for everyone!"

"Strengthen reforms?"

Upon hearing Chancellor Sheppard's words, both the students below and the blond-haired mushroom-headed professor and Vice Chancellor Bonaparte looked at each other with bewildered expressions!

Clearly, even the two senior professors at the Duel Academy were completely unaware of this!

"Chancellor Sheppard really loves to stir things up, aru." Vice Chancellor Bonaparte whispered to the blond, mushroom-headed professor.

"That's right, None!" Professor Crowler nodded in agreement.

The previous World Duel Tournament caused trouble for Sartorius, the Light of Destruction, and he almost became an accomplice in Saiou's destruction of the real-world dueling world.

Now, without informing these high-ranking teachers at the Duel Academy at all, they've come up with some kind of the Duel Academy Enhancement Reform.

I wonder if this will cause any more trouble!

Even Jiang He couldn't help but twitch his lips at this, revealing a knowing look on his face!

If he remembers correctly, this so-called strengthening reform is likely to cause an even bigger problem than the Sartorius Light of Destruction...

Jiang He would call this bald- Chancellor Sheppard "the troublemaking old prince, and the villain's good helper!"

Even without the bald- Chancellor Sheppard causing trouble, the other party would probably still come knocking on their door later...

After all, within the Duel Academy, there's Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot who's the opponent's main target.

The difference is only a matter of time.
