Chapter 1770 Juniors are not allowed to contradict their seniors
"Where did Judai go?" Manjoume paced back and forth anxiously. "The school's surveillance cameras are all powered normally, but they all lost their footage around the time Judai left."

"The students on patrol also said they hadn't seen Judai. The school is only so big, how could he have run off to some remote corner?" Asuka said worriedly. "Isn't it just John's personality that he has no sense of direction?"

John looked troubled: "It's not like I wanted it to be like this, and if Judai is going to get lost, it shouldn't be in this place where he's already been studying for three years."

"Unfortunately, communication devices don't work in this world, so we can't locate where my brother is." Jianshan was getting restless. "No, I can't just sit here and wait for news from my brother. I'll go out and help look for him."

“I know the abnormal magnetic field of this world is making you very irritable, but you have to be patient, Kenzan.” Jim quickly held Kenzan down, afraid that the guy would lose control. He and Marufuji Sho had only been out of bed for less than a day, and he didn’t want the abnormal magnetic field of the duel energy to affect him and make him lose his mind. “You can’t use your dinosaur DNA to find people.”

"Kora, don't underestimate my dinosaur DNA—ouch!"

Jianshan was tapped on the head with a "thud," and he squatted down, clutching his head. He regained a little clarity and realized that he had actually been somewhat influenced and become impulsive.

Behind Kenzan, Marufuji Sho, holding an inflatable hammer, said seriously, "Kenzan, you've really lost your composure. Are you even worthy of being my little brother? You can't even keep your composure without your big brother. You're a disgrace to your big brother!"

"But you yourself were just nervously biting your nails over there, weren't you?"

"Juniors are not allowed to contradict their seniors!"

The crowd gathered in a corner of the stadium, discussing Jaden's disappearance. To explain the cause, we have to go back to when, before Jaden left, Manjoume, out of "shyness," left the lounge and approached Professor Chronos to ask if there was anything at the academy that he, Mr. Manjoume, could help with.

While there are indeed many things happening at the school these days, there aren't many problems that require a student of Manjoume's strength to solve. After all, patrolling the school would be a waste of Manjoume's energy, and the card spirits attracted to the area around the school are currently just small fry at the level of [Sand Swamp Monster], not worth wasting Manjoume's power on.

Even if a slightly stronger monster occasionally appears around the school, it's just an enemy that students like Dilano-Kenzan and Marufuji Sho can handle. Not only Manjoume, but even Asuka and John are currently in a state of having nothing to do.

But because they were idle, Professor Chronos found a suitable opportunity to inform them of the information Hayato had given them: the possibility that John's [Ultimate Jewel God - Rainbow Dragon] could bridge the two worlds and bring everyone back to the human world, and the power necessary to realize this possibility was John's growth.

Despite the support of the "Duel Energy Distributor," which finally allows the students at the school to fight without worrying about the "Death Gloves" holding them back, it's best to avoid reducing their Life Points to zero through duels in this world where Duel Monsters deal true damage. However, it's difficult for John to grow through duels if he holds back, whether it's John holding back or his opponent holding back.

Therefore, it is not easy for John to grow through duels. After all, it is not easy to find someone who can fight John to a perfect even with both sides holding nothing back. Asuka and the others who came out earlier than Manjoume have already tried their skills against John one by one. Jim, O'Brien, and Asuka are still a bit weaker than John, not to mention younger juniors like Kenzan and Marufuji Sho.

"So, you mean I, Manjoume, will duel with John Anderson? Hmph, the result is obvious, of course I will win." Manjoume gave his theoretical basis, "John Anderson also participated in last year's 'Second World Martial Arts Tournament,' but he lost to Yuki Judai back then. However, Yuki Judai was eliminated in the final eight, so it is only natural that I am stronger than Judai."

"The conclusion is that I am far stronger than John Anderson. The two are not very evenly matched. If you want to hone this guy's skills, I am not a suitable opponent."

"Wow, it's rare to hear that there's something Manjoume-sama can't do," Marufuji Sho said sarcastically from the side. "I thought you were going to give another long-winded account of your championship win last year."

"Huh? How did you know I was at the 'Second Best Martial Arts Tournament' last year—"

"Alright, alright, that's enough for us to sample. Hurry up and take it away (half annoyed)." Not to mention the other students from the same school, even Jim and the others couldn't stand Wan Zhangmu anymore and quickly interrupted, "But if you ask me, the one who made John's strength grow was indeed the one who helped John fully awaken the [Ultimate Jewel God - Rainbow Dragon] back then."

“The tenth generation elder brother? Indeed, there is no one more suitable than the elder brother. He is strong enough to allow John to go all out without worrying about the duel ending too quickly.” Kenzan clenched his fist and tapped his palm. “Much more suitable than Banjou-senpai.”

"That last sentence is superfluous, goldfish!" Looking at Kenzan's headscarf, Manjoume complained unhappily, "I wonder what that guy is doing in the lounge, he hasn't come out for so long."

Just then, Fubuki arrived near them and asked curiously, "Isn't Judai here with Asuka-chan?"

"Brother? Why aren't you going to rest?"

Seeing Asuka's dangerous look, questioning her for moving around without fully recovering, Fubuki quickly explained, "I'm all better now, completely healed. Thanks to Hayato-sensei's 'Duel Energy Distributor,' I only recovered a little later than Kenzan and Sho—actually, if you hadn't taught me a lesson yesterday, I probably would have recovered even faster. You really didn't hold back at all!"

Did you say anything, Onii-chan?

"There's nothing there, absolutely nothing!"

Seeing Fubuki standing at attention like a spirited young man, Manjoume asked, "Master Fubuki, what do you want with Judai?"

"Yes, it's actually about this world. I remember you went there with Jaden, right? The world of the Royal Valley of Long Sleep, which was guarded by the Grave Guardian monster."

Fubuki looked at a window in the gymnasium that offered a view outside and pointed to the sky. Although it was still daytime according to their normal biological clock, the full moon in the sky meant that the desert was currently in the dead of night. However, Fubuki wasn't pointing to the moon outside the window, but rather to the scene from daytime that none of them had forgotten. "I don't know if it's a coincidence, but there are three suns in the sky in both worlds."

“It’s just like Master Daitokuji’s [Three Sun Gods Helios].” Asuka nodded, indicating that she was deeply impressed by the three suns she had seen in that world. “And when we left that world, the [Gravekeeper Elder] told us that the way to leave was to pass through the archway of the [Valley of the Royal Slumber] before the three suns in the sky merged into one and appeared in the light curtain.” Marufuji Sho had also been to that world, but he didn’t understand why Fubuki was bringing this up now: “Is Fubuki-senpai looking for a way to leave this world? But are the methods for leaving the two worlds really the same? We don’t even know if the suns in this world will merge into one, and we can’t find the gate to the [Valley of the Royal Slumber] here.”

"That's not the point. I know there's no entrance to the Valley of the Kings' Long Sleep here. But don't you guys think it's unusual that there are three suns in the sky?" Fubuki said. "Maybe it's all under the same sky!"

"Under the same sky... does that mean that world might be connected to this one?" Manjoume realized what Fubuki meant, his eyes lighting up. "If we can find the [Valley of the Royal Slumber] again..."

"So, through that passage connecting to the Duel Academy, we can return to our original world?" Although not a participant in the "[Valley of Royal Sleep]" world, John guessed Fubuki's thoughts. "That's wonderful! We have another way back!"

"That's great news, but does Jaden have anything to do with that world?" Jim asked curiously.

"Although Judai is quite lucky, you're not planning to get him to give you directions by throwing your shoe or something, are you?" Manjoume crossed his arms and looked at Fubuki with a suspicious gaze.

Seeing that not only Manjoume, but also Asuka, Kenzan, Marufuji Sho, and even John, Jim, and O'Brien were looking at her with uneasy eyes, Fubuki quickly waved her hand: "Why do you all have such a stereotypical prejudice against me? I just wanted to ask Judai to use those two pendants."

Not to mention Fubuki, Asuka and the others had also almost forgotten that Judai always carried two disc fragments he obtained in the "Valley of Royal Sleep" world. When pieced together, they could protect the holder in the Dark Games.

—But the problem is that there are very few people who seriously play the dark games these days. They're either like Saiou, who doesn't use tricks in duels but only plays little tricks outside of duels, or like Yubel, who always finds a proxy to duel, or like Lopto, the Shadow of the Kings from the "Duel-Links" world, who doesn't even duel you but achieves his goals outside of duels.

Perhaps that's why the two disc fragments from Jaden's story have such a low profile.

Regardless, it is a special item from the world of "[Valley of the Royal Slumber]". If we extract the special energy contained in it, it might be used as a road sign to guide us to the location of "[Valley of the Royal Slumber]".

“I’ve already asked Misawa Sora. Although he looked really sleepy, he told me that if there’s a sample as a reference, he might actually be able to use it to create a special navigation tool,” Tenjouin Fubuki said excitedly. “Although this means that even if we can leave this world, we’ll have to leave the academy buildings here, but a place is only a Duel Academy if there are people.”

For Fubuki, who hadn't yet learned about the [Ultimate Gem God - Rainbow Dragon]—a method for returning to the original world—this was her only hope. For Jim and the others, it was also a highly feasible new attempt where they could finally be of use instead of just sitting idly waiting for John to unleash the power of the cards.

However, Asuka keenly sensed something was amiss: "Wait, brother, didn't you come here to find Judai first, but went to the lounge first?"

"Yeah, because I was thinking of asking Four Arithmetic's classmate for his opinion, since he's the only one who understands this stuff. I just didn't expect Judai wouldn't be here." Fubuki nodded and asked, "Asuka-chan, do you know where Judai went?"

"We also want to know, because maybe Big Brother can help John grow enough through duels to unlock the full power of one of his cards and bring us back to our original world."

Kenzan's words made Fubuki frown: "But now, Judai suddenly can't be found anywhere? Could he possibly get lost at school?"

"Anyway, we're just killing time now, so why don't we split up and go look for Judai in different parts of the school, and then meet up here again in a bit?"

At John's suggestion, everyone left the gymnasium and went to different floors of the school to look for Judai. However, even after nearly twenty minutes, no one knew where Judai had gone.

"By the way, where did O'Brien and Fubuki-senpai go? They don't seem to be here." Halfway through his banter with Kenzan, Marufuji Sho suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Huh? Could it be that they've gone missing too?" They haven't even found one of the Tenth Generation yet, and now two more are missing? Upon hearing this, Manjoume was about to start breathing heavily.

“I’m not entirely sure where Fubuki went, but at least O’Brien told me he was planning to check out the underground food warehouse,” Jim said after a moment’s thought.

So, it goes without saying where O'Brien and Fubuki are right now. The two of them are currently crouching on the stairs at the entrance of the food warehouse, watching Jaden's duel with "Amon Garlem" from above.

I tried the McDonald's x Black Monkey collaboration, the Black Moon Burger... I mean, the Black Gold Burger. It tasted pretty good, but it was too expensive.
However, they even created a happy ending animation specifically for the collaboration, which shows McDonald's has the resources and talent.
