Chapter 1650: The Tenth Generation: I fight against the grave-keeping clan?
"Dear students, good afternoon everyone~"

Standing on the podium, Professor Chronos smiled and gave a speech to the students in the hall, "I am honored to continue to be the head of the practical test and the director of teaching of the Duel Academy headquarters, as well as the head teacher of the Obelisk-Blue dormitory in the new semester."

"Here, on behalf of all the faculty and staff, as well as Principal Hayato Kobayashi and Vice Principal Iemitsu Samejima who were unable to attend the event, I would like to extend my welcome to all of you~"

At this moment, the students sat in different areas according to their dormitories. Just like Judai and his classmates were assigned dormitories after they entered the school, although the freshmen had just arrived on the island in the morning, the teachers had already worked overtime to arrange dormitories for them before they arrived. At this moment, the freshmen had also changed into their uniforms and sat with the seniors, looking orderly.

——However, this was only limited to the seating arrangement of students from Obelisk-Blue and Apollo-Yellow. The seating arrangement in Osiris-Red dormitory did not look very neat.

On the one hand, of course, the number of students in the Red Dormitory is far less than that in the other two dormitories, and after two years of study, many people have successfully passed the transfer assessment and went to the Sun God-Yellow Dormitory.

Some people like Marufuji Sho had already successfully transferred to a dormitory last year. Even if the new students were counted, there were only about 20 students in the Red Dormitory. With the same number of seats, the number of students would be a little sparse.

Another reason is that many students who do not belong to the Red Dormitory have mixed into the Red Dormitory.

"Although you told me on the way here that Professor Chronos is a good teacher who looks a bit bad but actually has a kind heart." Looking at Professor Chronos on the podium, who was speaking nonstop with a bright smile that could have caused the Pot of Greed to lose miserably in the "Pot of Greed Imitation Competition" and only get second place, John whispered to Judai who was sitting next to him, "But you are really not deliberately saying it in a sarcastic way, are you?"

"Because Professor Chronos looks very kind, and just seeing him smile makes me feel like I have more cards in my hand, so is he the type who looks kind but has a wicked heart?"

"No, today is an exception. Didn't you also come to participate in the 'Second World Martial Arts Tournament' before, John?" Judai actually felt that Professor Chronos' smile was a little difficult to force, so he was willing to participate in the "Don't Smile Challenge".

This is the strongest teacher in Duel Academy. Do you dare to look him in the eye for three seconds?

However, fearing that John might have misunderstood Professor Chronos, Judai quickly explained, "At that time, Professor Chronos had eliminated Coach Napoleon from the very beginning. Although he was soon defeated by Caesar, who is now famous in professional duels as the 'Caesar of Hell' Marufuji Ryo, he had already completely defeated Coach Napoleon."

"Then you're not so happy now, are you?"

"It's true that the victory back then didn't last that long, but what if Coach Napoleon took the initiative to surrender to him today for some reason?" Manjomu, who was sitting in the front row of Judai, turned his head and said, "Principal Samejima and Teacher Aoki are on a business trip together, exchanging educational experiences with other branches, and Principal Hayato seems to have not recovered from his injury."

"That is to say, although Professor Chronos lost his title of 'Interim Vice President' last year, now that the two principals are unable to take charge, he is almost like being promoted to 'Interim President'. At this time, based on our guess about the personalities of the two, Coach Napoleon will definitely compete with Professor Chronos for the opportunity to give a speech in front of the freshmen."

"But he actually gave up? He didn't even come to the front of the stage, and gave the opportunity to show off his authority in front of all the teachers and students in the school to Professor Chronos. How can he not smile so shamelessly?"

Not caring at all that Professor Chronos was the head teacher of his dormitory, Manjomu said from the audience.

"I understand the logic. But why do you want to sit next to Hong's dormitory, Manjome?" Judai asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Wanzhangmu snorted coldly: "Humph, I'll sit wherever I want. Anyway, it's not because of some annoying guy sitting over at the Blue Dormitory!"

Although he was being tough, there were some leaks in his words. Wanzhangmu had already made it clear why he was sitting here. In particular, when he said this, he couldn't help but look towards the area where Lan's dormitory was located, staring at someone.

Before Judai expressed his doubts while looking at the boy sitting in the blue dormitory surrounded by a group of crazy girls, Misawa next to Manjome said, "Amon Garem, a third-year student from the Eastern Branch of Duel Academy. Just as his name suggests, he is backed by the Garem Zaibatsu, a large business group whose status even exceeds that of the Manjome Zaibatsu, which has a long-term partnership with Kaiba Group."

"However, although he initially appeared in front of the public as the heir of the Gallem chaebol, his father Ptah Gallem later handed over the identity of the heir to his younger brother Sid Gallem. After investigation by the media, it was discovered that his original identity was actually an orphan from a poor area who was adopted by the Gallem chaebol."

"But even so, due to his outstanding abilities and the fact that they had invested in him in the past few years, a considerable number of forces within the Gallem Financial Group always stood on the side of Amon Gallem, even though he said he would assist his brother."

"That's why he's so popular, because many people still think that he will be the one who controls the Gallem chaebol in the end."

Manjome wanted to complain at first, as the setting of "an orphan adopted by a wealthy tycoon" sounded like it was either the protagonist or the villain, and President Kaiba Seto had already used it once. But the more he listened, the more he couldn't help but look at Misawa with surprise.

"You are--"

"How do you know so much, right? I knew you were going to say this." Misawa patted his chest proudly, "Don't underestimate my intelligence network!"

Choked by Misawa's words, Manjomu paused and smacked his lips unhappily: "Anyway, that's about it. I don't like that guy. I always feel uncomfortable with the thick mask on his face. Well, that guy is there, and other people are only curious about the exchange student. No one listens to my story of winning the championship."

"Manjome, you don't have to come here just for this, because even if there's no Amon here, none of us are interested in your championship story." Marufuji Sho complained behind Judai.

"In this respect, Senior Manjome is somewhat similar to Professor Chronos. Once they gain a small advantage, they will act arrogantly for a long time without stopping."

Looking at the other people, veins popped out on Manjyoumu's forehead. "This is my other reason. Am I the only one sitting here who is not a student from the Red Dormitory? I, Master Fubuki, and the first, second, and third graders from the Blue Dormitory, all should stay in the Red Dormitory. One more person won't make a difference!"

Hearing that Manjome mentioned her, Fubuki raised her eyebrows: "I can't help it. As a 'repeater', it's hard for me to fit in with my classmates. I can't sit among my fans and show favoritism, so I can only come here to accompany Asuka-chan~"

"Thank you, I don't need you to accompany me." Asuka refused coldly, "Because you blocked my way here, that's why..." Turning her head to look straight ahead, Asuka stared at the space on Judai's left hand side, not wanting to shorten the distance by even a little bit, "let this confused little girl sit in my seat!"

(Thirteen years old, sure)
"Huh! Your name isn't written on this seat, Asuka-senpai, right?" Saotome Rei had been trying to take advantage of the seat to get close to Judai, but she was unable to do so because of the strict defense of the "old woman" behind her. She was very angry. "Besides, as a student of the Red Dormitory, what's wrong with me sitting in the Red Dormitory seat?"

"This is the location of the Osiris-Red dormitory. It's you, senior, who should leave!"

"This is another point that I can't understand the most. As the top student who skipped a grade from the middle school, Saotome, you should have gone to the Blue Dormitory, right? Why did you take the initiative to apply to go to the Red Dormitory?" Asuka glared at Saotome and said.

But she seemed to have underestimated Saotome Rei's boldness. She said frankly without any shyness, "Of course it's because of Judai-sama. Wherever Dana is, I'm there."

"Dan, Danna!?" John, who was beside Judai, was shocked to hear that Saotome Rei had upgraded her address to "Danna (Master)" which was almost equivalent to "husband". He looked at Saotome Rei and then at Judai with a serious expression, "Although I'm surprised that your fetish is actually this, Judai, don't worry, I won't call the police and I'll keep it a secret for you!"

"I swear to Ruby!" John solemnly swore, holding up the [Gemmon-Rubymon] in his hand that was invisible to others.

"You are so loyal, John. Thank you for not taking revenge. That's not right!" Judai reacted and quickly clarified, "I didn't do anything to Li! Don't think too much, John!"

"That's too much, Judai Sama. We agreed to do something fun together the next time we meet."

"It's an interesting duel, an interesting duel!" Seeing that the other people's eyes were gradually looking at him with something wrong, even the slow-witted Judai hurriedly explained, "And I thought the earliest we could meet again would be after I graduate, but who knew that Rei would enroll this semester."

"Eh? If it's not a duel, then what else could it be?" John heard Judai's clarification and said in a somewhat strange tone, "Judai, you must be thinking about a duel. Just like when I heard what Miss Saotome said, I thought you had a habit of dueling regardless of the strength of your opponent."

"John, do you think so? You are worthy of being my friend!" Judai seemed very happy to hear John's words.

Kenzan and Maruto Sho felt a little ashamed when they heard John's words. Judai was their eldest brother, but they didn't know him as well as John, who had known Judai for such a short time.

(Played a game of cards with Judai, saw through Judai's true character in the third episode)

"A-Arnold." At this time, a boy in a yellow dormitory uniform next to Saotome Rei said timidly, "Professor Chronos has been watching us since a while ago."

"Huh?!" Hearing the boy's words, Saotome Rei looked towards the stage unexpectedly and found that Professor Chronos had indeed been staring at the noisy Red Dormitory. After all, the layout here was similar to that of a lecture hall, and the teacher on the stage could see clearly what the students were doing. Professor Chronos had naturally noticed the noise of Judai and his friends early on.

"Xiao Ma, couldn't you have reminded us earlier?" Although Saotome Rei was quite love-brained in front of Judai and had a tit-for-tat attitude towards Asuka, she was actually a good student and did not want to leave a bad impression on the teacher on the first day of school.

"My name is Garner Muldoon, not Xiao Ma." Although the weak boy is actually fifteen years old, his height is about the same as that of thirteen-year-old Saotome Rei, and about the same height as Marufuji Sho two years ago. After all, girls of this age do develop earlier, so he is like a younger brother in front of Saotome Rei.

In fact, he is indeed Saotome Rei's "little brother", or to be more precise, the little brother she had talked about with Judai in the morning. And among the "first-, second-, and third-year students in the Yellow Dormitory" that Manjyoume mentioned casually just now, Xiang and Misawa are third-year students, Kenzan is a second-year student, and the first-year student refers to Ghana Muldoon, who was pulled over by his "big sister" and sat in the Red Dormitory with him.

After being reminded by Malden, Judai and John quickly quieted down. They were relieved when they saw that Professor Chronos had no intention of settling accounts with them on the spot.

But before they could relax for too long, Professor Chronos suddenly said, "As I just explained, this year our campus will welcome many new faces. Among them are not only first-year freshmen, but also exchange students from the four major branches who will study at the headquarters for half a year. More importantly, our teaching team will also welcome a new member, Nanone."

"In order to let the students see the excellent abilities of our new teachers, I think it is necessary to select two students to have a friendly interactive duel with the new teachers."

"Of course, we can't just select the candidates for the duel from the students of our Duel Academy headquarters. We also need to let the student representatives from other branches who are here for exchange studies enjoy the duel with us."

His eyes swept from Amon Gallum who was sitting in the seat of Obelisk Blue Dormitory, Jim Crocodile Cook who was sitting in the Yellow Dormitory, and he didn't care about Osin O'Brien who was sitting alone and very conspicuous among a large number of empty seats. Professor Chronos stopped pretending and stared straight at Judai and John who were about to put their arms around each other's shoulders.

"I think Yujo Judai and John Anderson from the Northern Branch are suitable candidates, right?"

Although it sounded like a question, from what Professor Chronos said, it seemed that they had no option of refusing. And Judai and John weren't the type to avoid a duel.

"A two-player, team duel? Sounds interesting, John!" Judai said excitedly, "My [Hero] deck has changed a lot compared to before. I didn't get enough of your [Gem Beast] deck before!"

"Me too, Judai. We've seen the confrontation between Hero and my family before, but this is the first time we're working together." John said excitedly.

"In a duel with the new teacher, can the combination of Big Brother and John, who have never worked together before, win?"

After hearing what Marufuji Sho said, Judai said confidently, "We will win."

As Judai and John walked to the stage, Professor Chronos began to introduce their new teacher this year and their next opponent:
"Well, students, let us give a round of applause to the legendary duelists who participated in the classic Duel City tournament and achieved the top eight, and even had a wonderful confrontation with our principal Kobayashi Hayato, and who will be our art and history teachers - Malik Ishdar and Lishid Ishdar!"
