Chapter 1472: Jonouchi also did it
There is a card deck. First of all, its monster cards are basically all warrior-type and dark-attribute. A large part of its cards are also related to continuous trap cards. The word "Phantom" is in its field name. At the same time, its user has appeared in the famous "Yu-Gi-Oh" fan work "A5".

So, this deck is——

[Phantom Knights]? No, it's me, the "Phantom Hero" [V·hero]!

As we all know, knights are mostly portrayed as heroes in literary works, so [Phantom Knights] is also [V·hero] (bold statement)!
My Ed Phoenix said that the "pure [D·hero]" deck I played was pure [D·hero]. It was reasonable to add a little [V·hero], and it would be even more normal to add two [Phantom Knights] cards.

——Well, actually it’s not like that. Just like [Designator of the Erasure], the [Phantom Death Gun] that Ed used to save [D·hero Twilight Utopian] at the last moment was also a card he opened from the freshman limited card pack.

Although Ed had never used or even heard of the card "Phantom Knights", it did not prevent him from adding it to his deck because of the second effect of "Phantom Death Gun". After all, whether it was "D·hero" or "V·hero", the monsters in his deck were basically all dark attributes, with only a few cards such as "E·hero Skyman" and "Demon King of the Swamp" not having dark attributes.

Such a structure is actually very easy to be targeted by people who know the relevant intelligence, but fortunately, he won again!

Ignoring his recent record of losing duels, Ed smiled with satisfaction at his long-awaited victory in a duel.

With one hand on the shore, Kajiki Yuta swam back to the shore, all wet, and said thankfully: "Fortunately, each of my cards has a special coating to protect it from moisture, otherwise it would be so unlucky."

"You attack really hard, Ed-boy."

"Ah, Mr. Kajiki." Seeing Kajiki Yuta climb onto land, Edward suddenly remembered that he was too engrossed in the duel just now and accidentally let [D·hero Twilight Villain] exert too much force and knocked Kajiki Yuta off the floating platform. "I'm so sorry, are you not hurt?"

"You can't hurt me at this level. Don't underestimate the men on the sea." Kajiki Yuta shook the water off his hair. "Although I don't know things like Armament Haki, I am also training my body. To use the words of your teacher Hayato Kobayashi, I can even withstand three punches from Ushio - although I don't know who that person named Ushio is, but I heard that he is a better fighter than Jonouchi."

Because there was sea water on Kajiki Yuta's body, just shaking it off was definitely not enough, as a layer of salt crystals would form on his body. For this reason, Kajiki Yuta walked into the woods again and took out two backpacks. From one of them, he took out a bottle of water that seemed to be from a stream and poured it on his body to rinse off the sea water. Then he took out a towel to wipe it dry again, and removed the cards and duel disk to start maintenance.

The sharp-eyed Ed also noticed that Kajiki Yuta took out not just one backpack. The other one seemed to be his own package, and it was obviously much bulger in size, as if it was filled with things?

"Here, your backpack is right here. If you have defeated me, you can continue your journey." Kajiki Yuta said to Ed while holding the backpack. "So, did you do your best in this duel?"

"Well, I feel like I have done my best in the duel with you, Mr. Kajiki. Moreover, I have learned a lot through the duel with you." Ed looked at Kajiki Yuta's card spread out on the grass and said, "I feel like I am closer to the answer to the 'destiny' I want to know."

Ed didn't ask back whether Kajiki Yuta had tried his best, because after seeing the card on the ground, he knew that Kajiki Yuta might not have used his full strength to deal with his junior. After all, he had made it clear from the beginning that this duel was actually just a test of his new card.

"Really? Just untie the knot." Kajiki Yuta smiled and watched Ed take the backpack. He then waved his hand and said, "I have also gained some understanding of my new cards. Perhaps I can give Ryuuzaki and the others a surprise at this year's professional tournament. However, your journey has just begun, right?"

"Alright, alright, if you don't want to be left too far behind by the others, then hurry back to the track. I don't want to keep you here and have another person consume my supplies."

Seeing Kajiki Yuta lowering his head to carefully examine the cards and duel disk, Ed bowed to thank him, then said goodbye to him and returned to the forest, heading towards a location roughly in the center of the island, trying to catch up with the others.

After Ed disappeared into the woods, Kajiki Yuta's phone rang in his bag. He put down the card and looked at the caller's information. He raised his eyebrows and answered the call: "That guy just left and you called me?"

"Because they are my important students. Although they have just entered school, every student is a treasure of Duel Academy. As the principal, I must pay more attention to them." Hayato's voice came from the phone, "Just like I am curious about what your last card is."

"Wow, how come you're like Kaiba-san, snooping on other people's deck data?" Kajiki Yuta complained unhappily, "You weren't calling me because you were staring at the duel data and saw it was over?"

"Who knows~" Hayato said with a smile, "So tell me, what is the last card in your hand? [Illusionary Dragon's Sky Vortex]?"

“No, although I told that guy that I was using him to test my new cards, in fact, I only used some of the new cards you gave me. I didn’t put any [Illusionary Dragon] cards into the deck. After all, although it is an advanced deck of [Spiral Dragon], it’s the first time I’ve heard of ‘Illusionary Dragons’, and I haven’t prepared related support cards to integrate it into my ‘Sea’ deck.”

Kajiki Yuta paused and continued, "My current deck is still based on the Fish, Water, and Sea Dragon tribes, which I am relatively good at and mature in. However, the [Illusionary Brilliant Dragon] only has a water attribute."

"Indeed, after all, the Illusion Dragon Clan is a brand new race that was only completed in the last two months. If I hadn't used the reward card I got when I helped the Labyrinth Brothers to study at the 'School of the East Invincible' as a template, this new race wouldn't even have been born." Hayato's voice was a matter of course, "In other words, your card can be considered the newest and most powerful card of the International Illusion Society, Kajiki."

"So what exactly is your hand?"

"Do you really like to get to the bottom of things? It's [DD Crow]." Hearing Hayato's repeated questions, Kajiki Yuta picked up the card that he hadn't finished maintaining, which was the last card in his hand before Ed cleared out his basic points. "Use this card to eliminate the [Phantom Death Gun] in the graveyard of that 'Destiny Boy' one step ahead. He might lose, right? But if I get serious with a kid who is so much older than me, won't Ryuzaki and the others laugh at me to death?"

"That kid is so confident, why not just let him win? I don't need an unimportant victory or defeat."

After a pause, Kajiki Yuta asked curiously, "By the way, I understand the 'DD' in the name [DD Crow]. It seems to mean 'different dimension'? But I remember that the big bald guy who looked like a bit part in the island with me seemed to have given you a set of cards called 'DDD'?"

"I've been thinking about it for a long time. What does that mean? Can you tell me?" "'DDD' means 'Different-Dimension-Demon', a demon from another dimension, a king with the power to conquer even another dimension." On the other end of the phone, Hayato suddenly lowered his voice and said proudly, "Nice! I finally found a chance to say this line!"

"Another-dimensional demon? Sounds like it's very powerful?"

"You are wrong on three points." Hayato heard what Kajiki Yuta said and replied, "First, the bald guy is not just a bit player as he looks. He is actually my wife's brother-in-law, a much more reliable brother-in-law than the other brother-in-law who is like a three-year-old child;"

"Second, he didn't give it to me. I gave it to him and asked him to help me test the performance of some cards. Then you saw that he returned the cards to me after the test because he didn't know how to use them. "

"And the third point is that it's not just that it looks powerful, but it's really powerful - the premise is that this set of cards must be complete. But even if it only has the basic fusion power now, it is more than enough to deal with some ordinary small fry."

"But are there any ordinary people among the students you sent to the island?" Kajiki Yuta complained, "To be honest, if I'm a little careless, I might really lose to that Ed boy. How many students of this level are there in your school? As strong as the 'Caesar' who broke into the professional dueling world recently?"

"There are at least three of them, students as strong as the Caesar you know who just graduated. However, there are also useless guys among them. Although I personally don't think highly of his future behavior, as a teacher, I also have the responsibility to correct him in advance and let him grow." Hayato paused and asked, "Speaking of which, did you put the card in Ed's bag?"

"I put it in, I put it in. Am I such a careless person?"

"It's hard to say. Jonouchi said that you once went out to play and was so busy swimming in the sea that you left your hotel room card on the beach. Ryuzaki had to search for it with you on the beach for a long time."

"T-That was an accident! Jonouchi did it too!"

"So he went to use Peacock Dance's room, and then the two of them got married."

The dividing line where Jonouchi was playing video games and the peacock dance pulled his ears——
On the other hand, while Ed was heading back to the center of the island with Kajiki Yuta's "gift", there was actually another person on the other side - or to be exact, two people, who also met the island's "safety officer".

"Hey, Sho!" Judai looked at Marufuji Sho whom he met unexpectedly and greeted him happily, "Why are you here too?"

"Ahahaha, I didn't expect you to walk faster than me. I thought you had opened your parachute so early and it would take you a long time to land, so I ran as soon as I landed, but I didn't expect you to be faster." Judai said, nodding to himself, "Yeah, after all, there is a difference of three minutes. I just don't know how fast that junior named Ed is progressing."

"Um, um, big brother," Marufuji Sho hesitated and interrupted Judai, saying weakly, "Although I don't know exactly where I am now, but just now, I was attacked by a materialized Duel Monster, and now I'm in a state where I was rescued by the people that Hayato-sensei arranged on the island."

"He said that before he was defeated, I, who was rescued, would not be able to set out to the center of the island. I would be taken to the supply station where he was temporarily staying."

Scratching his head, Maruto Sho finally said, "So, brother, you seem to be walking in the opposite direction away from the center of the island?"

"Eh!?" Judai pointed at his nose and said in disbelief, "Sho, you mean, I got lost on the island?! That's impossible. I don't remember having a personality that looks like a funny character like 'I have a poor sense of direction'!"

(A man who got lost in Duel Academy for seven episodes even though he was already a second year)

"Even if you say so, it is an established fact that you went in the wrong direction."

"Or do you think you know the way better than me, Judai Yuki?" Marufuji Sho was interrupted before he could finish his words. The "safety officer" who was with Marufuji Sho spoke, and from his tone it was obvious that he knew Judai.

Looking at the question from the man who had a similar hairstyle to his own and looked very familiar, the Tenth Agent said confidently, "Because I have never felt lost on the road to becoming a hero, I am certainly not a person with poor directions! - But, who are you, uncle? I feel like I have seen you somewhere before?"

"Humph, of course you have seen me, Yuki Judai. After all, the Duel Bread in the school was once bought by Hayato Kobayashi, and the dormitory head teachers in each dormitory basically only provide dinner. Most of you still come to the cafeteria for breakfast and lunch."

As he spoke, the man pulled out a folded chef's hat from somewhere and put it on his head: "Now, do you remember who I am now?"

The moment the hat covered the man's burgundy hair, Judai's eyes widened in surprise, and he pointed at the man and said, "Huh?! Mr. Amerda!?"

"I didn't recognize you without your hat off." After a pause, Judai said in a strange tone, "But why do you look so unhappy with me?"

Ameruda, the head chef of the Duel Academy cafeteria who was called by Hayato to act as a security guard on the island, snorted coldly like his old rival Kaiba Seto and glanced at Judai: "If you see someone serve you a bowl of mapo tofu with strawberry jam, no, this example is wrong, I remember that your favorite food is fried shrimp, right? If someone helps you peel off the batter of the fried shrimp, soak it in water, and then coat the shrimp meat with wasabi, how would you feel?"

"What heresy!" Judai was already furious when he heard half of it, and said angrily, "Who did such an unjust thing!"

"That's an analogy, asshole! I'm not talking about anyone else, but you, the asshole who poured ketchup on spaghetti, brought canned pineapple and even durian to me to order pizza!"

Ameruda's handsome face was twisted with anger, and he put his hands together in the classic gesture of his country, venting the anger of the Syracusans towards Judai.
