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

The slender young man with the orange-red coral haircut immediately acted like he knew Jiang He well, smiling and waving to him from afar.

"Although most of the Duel Academy instructors mentioned earlier seemed to have lost to our Future Duel Academy freshmen in their tests, I think since you've been specifically asked to help, you should definitely be able to win. So please go easy on me!"

As he was speaking, he also made a playful gesture of pleading with his hands clasped together!

Then, as if remembering something, he immediately added with a smile to Jiang He!

"Oh, by the way, my name is Dennis McField! I'm definitely going to be the most entertaining professional duelist in the future!"

"That freshman named Dennis McField seems pretty easy to get along with!"

Seeing this, Jaden Yuki, the short Syrus Truesdale, and Yuma Tsukumo, who were still in their seats in the audience area, couldn't help but smile and say!

However, as soon as they said this, Yusei Fudo Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Aster Phoenix, and the others nearby immediately noticed something was wrong and frowned in denial!

"No! That's not easy to get along with!"

"It was that freshman named Dennis who deliberately used psychological tactics in his words!"

Upon hearing this, Alexis Rhodes and Akiza Izinski, sitting in the back row, also nodded and frowned, analyzing, "The opponent specifically emphasized from the start that Jiang He was invited to fight by Professor Crowler, implying that he carries the burden of certain victory."

Then he mentioned that Professor Crowler and the other testing teachers had almost all been defeated by the new students of the Duel Academy, trying to put more psychological pressure on Jiang He!

They want to gain the upper hand in the duel before it even begins!

Upon hearing what Alexis Rhodes and the others said, Professor Crowler Vice Chancellor Bonaparte Napoleon, who had also sensed something was amiss, as well as Jaden Yuki, the short Syrus Truesdale, and Yuma Tsukumo, who had initially thought the freshman named Dennis was quite easy to get along with, all suddenly became serious with alarm!

Continue looking at the situation on the dueling platform in the distance!

Jiang He immediately saw through Dennis McField's psychological warfare tactic with that orange-red coral head!

However, after hearing the reactions of Jaden Yuki and Yuma Tsukumo, those hot-blooded idiots, who hadn't realized the other party's intentions at all, and were even quite pleased that the other party seemed easy to get along with, he couldn't help but twitch his lips, and felt a little like making a sarcastic remark.

As expected, psychological tactics are often Null and Void against fools!

However, looking at the frivolous young man Dennis McField with his orange-red coral hair, he looked exactly like a "husky".

Jiang He's expression turned strange again.

Although this guy is quite cunning, his appearance seems to be the exact opposite of his cunning!

It was filled with crystal-clear stupidity and frivolity.

"If you can talk, then say more. I don't mind stalling for a little time, you husky... oops, Dennis."

Jiang He quickly waved his hand in response.

He stated that he neither meant to mispronounce the name nor did he do so accidentally.

Husky?!

Upon hearing Jiang He's address, Dennis McField, whose expression had stiffened momentarily at the sight of the young man with the orange coral hairpin who had been employing psychological tactics in the distance, was startled!

I almost turned pale with embarrassment!

However, on the surface, he only stiffened for a moment before quickly regaining his usual flippant and overly friendly smile!

"Then, Senior Jiang He, let's not waste any more time and begin the test!"

As Dennis spoke, he immediately raised the blue Duel Disk he was wearing.

A flash of red light appeared above, and an orange-red energy plate instantly unfolded ahead of time!

Clearly, he intends to regain face and avenge the loss of that title through a duel!

"Since you can't wait any longer, let's begin."

Jiang He, completely unconcerned, smiled and took out a new underworld deck, placing it into his gold-plated Duel Disk!

A red light flashed instantly on top, indicating that it had been deployed ahead of schedule!

At the same time, Jiang He suddenly seemed to remember something and, looking out of consideration for the other person, "thoughtfully" added a sentence!

"But before the duel begins, are you sure you don't need to put on makeup, ride a circus wheel, or prepare a fire hoop or something like that?"

"After all, you just said you wanted to become the most entertaining professional dueling performer!"

Upon hearing his boastful words, Dennis McField, the young man with the orange-red coral hair who was his dueling opponent in the distance, visibly twitched his eyelids twice!

I almost couldn't hold back my anger and wanted to complain!

What do you mean by putting on makeup and riding a circus wheel?!

His reason for wanting to be a professional entertainment duelist, not a professional circus clown performer!

And what's with the fire-jumping thing?!

Circus clowns are at least human, but this guy jumping through the fire hoop is a circus beast!

He sensed the deep malice in Jiang He's taunts, a veiled malice directed at his earlier psychological warfare tactical retort.

Even Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, Yuma Tsukumo, and others watching from the stands a distance away from the stadium couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.

Meanwhile, the bald, black-haired old man Leo Akaba, and the other freshmen in the other area had different expressions.

Some frowned, while others looked interested and continued to observe the situation.

In the end, Dennis, his dueling opponent in the distance, could only maintain his composure with an awkward smile, pretending not to understand at all, and managed to utter a few words in response!

...0 flowers requested...

"Then there's no need for that, senior!"

"Tsk, that's a real shame."

Jiang He couldn't help but feel regretful about this.

He then raised his gold-plated Duel Disk to signal it!

"Then let's begin!"

"Duel!"

"Duel!"

As Jiang He and Dennis McField spoke simultaneously, they each drew five starting cards from their Duel Disk decks, and both quickly revealed the same [4000LP] life points!

"I'll take the first strike! I'll start by giving it a fancy opening!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

With that orange-red coral head, Dennis came up with a flippant smile and immediately took the first turn to draw cards from his own Duel Disk deck!

"What a lucky draw! The material I got right off the bat is perfect for a performance!"

After glancing at the card he had drawn, Dennis immediately activated it!

"I activate the Spell Card [Pendulum Box] from my hand!"

A strange Spell Card, featuring a purple, rhomboid crystal that swirled with three ring-shaped afterimages as the hanging wires rippled, suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Dennis.

"This card's effect allows you to draw two cards from your deck. If the drawn card is a ' Pendulum Monster,' you can add it to your hand. If the drawn card is any other type, you must send it to the Graveyard!"

As he spoke, Dennis immediately drew cards from his own Duel Disk deck!

Then, with an exaggerated and flippant smile, he quickly showed off the card he had just drawn, looking quite lucky!

"What incredible luck! I drew two Pendulum Monster!" Nine:

"Pendulum Monster?! Is it the special monster that's been rumored to be unique to Paradise City in the future, on the outskirts of Heartland City?!"

Upon seeing the two cards that Dennis McField indicated, everyone watching from the sidelines—including Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Yuma Tsukumo —as well as Professor Crowler and Vice Chancellor Bonaparte, couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment!

The two so-called "Pendulum Monster" that the other party pointed out looked different from ordinary monster cards!

Those were two special monster cards whose upper halves still resembled familiar monster cards, but whose lower halves incorporated some of the green appearance unique to Spell Card: the "Zero 30" card!

Not only does it have everything a monster card should have, but in addition to its original monster effect, it also has a special effect like a second Spell Card!

And two numbers on the left and right sides with no clear meaning!

It's like a special monster card that combines the effects of Spell Card!

"So it really happened. This is Pendulum Monster and Pendulum Summon method that only exists in Paradise City, which is even further into the future than the future where Yuma and Astral live."

Upon hearing this, Jiang He's eyes flashed with a sharp light, revealing an expression that showed he had been waiting for this moment!

The New Domino City in the future timeline, along with Yusei Fudo and others, has new summoning methods, Synchro Monster and Synchro Summon, while the Heartland City from an even further future timeline has Xyz Monster and Xyz Summon.

This is a completely new summoning method and item from Paradise City, which is even more futuristic than Heartland City, and Future Duel Academy, which has obtained some of the same information!

These are the Pendulum Monster and Pendulum Summon!

Furthermore, unlike the Synchro Monster and Xyz Monster of the past, which were Special Summon Monsters placed in the Extra Deck like Fusion Monster, this one is different.

This Pendulum Monster even includes the regular monster cards from the original deck!

The special numbers written on those Pendulum Monster cards are none other than the "Pendulum Scale," which is essential for performing Pendulum Summon!

"It's show time!"

Meanwhile, in the distance opposite, the young man with the orange-red coral hairpin, Dennis, after drawing out the two cards, immediately looked in Jiang He's direction with an exaggerated expression and spoke up!

"Then, senior! Come and witness the brand-new summoning method that will only be available in our future time: Pendulum Summon!"

"I activate these two Level 3 monsters I just drew from my deck, [Performage Bonus Dealer] with Pendulum Scale 3, and [Performage Stack Tricker] with Pendulum Scale 6, on the far left and far right of the Spell & Trap Zone respectively! Set Pendulum Scale!"

Dennis smirked as he spoke, and immediately placed the two cards he had just indicated on the far left and far right sides of his Duel Disk!

"Buzz!!"

As the two blue and white beams of light lit up, a clown-dressed juggling merchant monster phantom and a juggling puppet monster phantom quickly rose and emerged from the blue and white beams of light on the left and right sides, respectively!

At the same time, a huge orange-yellow energy number 3, representing the Pendulum Scale, and another orange-yellow energy number 6 appeared below the monster phantoms in the two pillars of light!

"According to the rules of Pendulum Summon, you can Special Summon as many monsters as possible from your hand and face-up monsters in your Extra Deck, based on their Ranks between the Pendulum Scale values!"

"And right now, my Pendulum Scale is set to 3 and 6! That means I can Special Summon as many monsters of rank as possible from my hand, both Level 4 and Level 5, from these two numbers!"

Dennis, with a flippant smile on his face, then immediately took out four cards from his remaining five hand and showed them to the world!

Then he casually slammed it onto his own Duel Disk!

"Summon, my monsters, who meet the summoning conditions!"

"First up is the 4-star [Performage Hat Tricker]!"

"Whoosh!!"

Between the two blue and white beams of light above Dennis, a pendant swayed like an energy pendulum!

Soon a blue circular vortex appeared!

Then, in the blink of an eye, a blue beam of light fell from it and landed in front of Dennis, transforming into a small, empty monster figure made of green clothes and a purple hat!
