Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1448 A Thing Fell From the Sky?
I was talking about astral bodies.

At this moment, Yuma Kuju was staring wide-eyed, struggling with a crooked tree in front of him.

"There must be something wrong with this island, this forest, right?"

He swore he had just made a mark on the bark five minutes earlier—a brilliant idea, one he'd seen on a TV show. That way, if he were to backtrack in this grove of trees where every fork in the road looked the same, at least he'd have a landmark to help him find his way.

However, the marks he had made not long ago now looked like a child's graffiti, and seemed to be mocking him no matter how you looked at it.

A ghostly astral body floated beside him, its arms crossed over its chest, looking serene.

“No, I think it’s just that Yuma, your sense of direction is terrible,” Astral said leisurely. “At least to me, there’s nothing strange about this forest, it’s not some kind of barrier that prevents people from getting out.”

I think you're just lost, Yuma.

"Ahhh, don't say it out loud!"

Youma clutched his head. Just then, the rumbling of his stomach blended into the scene, louder than the piercing cawing of crows flying overhead.

It became even more sarcastic.

The horse lay sprawled on the ground.

"I'm so hungry, I really miss Grandma's Duel Rice Balls."

The astral body moved closer to him.

"Yuma? Hey, Yuma?"

"."

Yuma had only been lying down for a short while when he felt the side effects of the physical exhaustion from the previous fierce battle begin to take hold. The hunger initially manifested as a fine, stinging pain deep within his stomach, like a dull knife slowly sawing through the empty walls of his cavity. He tried to swallow to relieve the pain, but found his throat already as dry as a riverbed after being exposed to the sun. At the same time, the fatigue that he hadn't noticed during the battle surged up from the depths of his body as soon as he lay down.

His consciousness gradually became clouded. He heard the sound of a stream flowing in the distance, but it was as blurry as if he were looking through frosted glass. The chirping of insects among the grass blades seemed to come and go, like the distorted static of an old-fashioned radio. His eyelids drooped uncontrollably, and each time he closed his eyes, it felt like falling into a deeper vortex. The call of the astral body in his ears seemed to grow more and more distant.

In his last moments before falling asleep, he vaguely felt as if he heard footsteps approaching, and also what sounded like a woman's voice.
Tenjouin Asuka eventually came over to check on the situation.

She couldn't quite explain why, but ever since she heard the thunder in the sky earlier, she'd had a vague sense of foreboding. Finally, unable to suppress her unease, she followed the sound to investigate.

Then she discovered this shocking scene in the woods.

A boy lay unconscious in the dense forest of the island outside the academy. About a kilometer away from him was a shockingly large crater, looking as if it had been created by a meteorite impact. Combined with the muddy mess on the boy's body, the absurd thought of "Could this kid have fallen from the sky and created this crater?" arose in Asuka's mind.
Of course, she quickly shook her head and dismissed this absurd idea.

how is this possible.

Our world is governed by science. This child looks to be only about an elementary or middle school student. Judging from the depth and scale of the crater in the ground, if it were really made by a person, it would have been turned into mincemeat long ago.

If this kid really did cause the crater, it means he fell and left a huge crater, then climbed up and walked a kilometer before losing consciousness—and apparently he was hungry. If that's the case, then this kid is either a warrior race with a tail on his butt or an alien wearing red underwear on the outside; in short, he's definitely not human.

Asuka took the child back to the school clinic. The elderly nurse, Megumi, quickly gave a diagnosis—the child only had minor abrasions, and was just exhausted and hungry; he should be fine.

"But where did this child come from?" Asuka wondered. "No outsiders have landed on Academy Island recently. He's not wearing a school uniform, and judging by his age, he shouldn't be a student here."

"I don't know," Ms. Huimei said. "Then let's ask him after he wakes up. Hmm!?"

After exchanging a few words, Huimei turned around and her eyes widened in astonishment.

What about people?

In the time it takes to say just two sentences, how did the person disappear?
Asuka then realized that the lobster-headed boy who had been lying on the bed was nowhere to be seen, and she was startled. The two hurriedly turned around to look for him, only to find that the boy had somehow gotten out of bed, his eyes still tightly closed—he seemed not to be awake, but rather had gotten out of bed on his own in a sleepwalking manner, and was staggering away as if attracted by something. Judging from the direction he was heading, he seemed to be heading towards...
The rice balls on the table.

Ms. Huimei: "Oh? That's a rice ball I bought from Aunt Duomei for lunch."

Then, the sleeping boy grabbed the rice ball and began to wolf it down.

Asuka was shocked: "This is... such an obsession with rice balls."

Is it possible to find a rice ball in your sleep simply by smelling its aroma, as if you were sleepwalking?

Such unwavering dedication instantly commands respect.

"Mr. You Xuan, please check if this is the card you requested."

The head of a card development department handed a card to You Xuan.

Field Magic - Undying World.

All face-up monsters on both sides' fields and in their graveyards become Zombie-type monsters, and both sides can only summon Zombie-type monsters when performing a Tribute Summon.

"But why are you interested in the undead?" the manager asked curiously. "As far as I know, the undead have never been a popular topic."

Before this, the most famous user of the Undead deck was Bakura from the Duel City era. However, ever since that player's Dark Personality was destroyed by the legendary Pharaoh, it seems to have fallen out of favor.

"Could it be that you have also discovered the potential of the undead?" the supervisor tried to probe the king's intentions.

After all, it is common knowledge that any deck or research department that is selected by Wang will eventually take off. It is no exaggeration to say that he now dominates half of the academic world.

"No, not yet, don't think too much about it." You Xuan smiled. "But don't you think it's interesting to turn all the opponent's monsters into undead? It might have a surprising effect on certain opponents."

"Really?" The supervisor was somewhat disappointed.

I thought the group of lazy, undead people I was in charge of was finally about to take off. I wonder when their department will finally see its spring.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. You Xuan turned around and saw a tall female doctor with long legs in black stockings and cat-ear-shaped glasses tentatively asking, "Could I have a moment of your time?"

You Xuan nodded, gesturing for the manager beside him to leave first, then said helplessly, "Speaking of which, Mina, why are you being so polite with me?"

The Black Scorpion Thieves' elf, Mina, instantly shed her white coat and reverted to her classic leather jacket and whip thief attire, laughing, "It's just that there are outsiders around, so I have to protect my secret identity, right?"

The thief gang members rarely participate in actual combat now, as they are all being used by You Xuan as spies and informants, operating freely outside.

"What is it?" You Xuan asked.

"It's from the Duel Academy. It seems like outsiders have arrived," Mina said.

You Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Intruder?"

"No, I think probably not. The child seems harmless, but there's something strange about him."

Mina scratched her head.

"Anyway, boss, if you don't have time, why don't you come back and take a look yourself?"

You Xuan was puzzled.

"child?"
