The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

When Manjoume saw Judai and Asuka walking out side by side in the audience, he angrily kicked the chair in front of him, startling several classmates nearby.

"That damned Jaden Yuki! How could he team up with Asuka-san for a duel!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with jealousy.

At the same time, Judai and Asuka exchanged a glance, and Judai said, "Let's go, Asuka!"

"it is good."

The two then quickly stepped onto the dueling platform.

After they took the stage, Professor Chronos raised his hand and announced, "Then, the arbitration duel shall now begin!"

After he shouted those words, cheers erupted from the audience.

As Chronos prepared to introduce their opponent, a deep voice rang out: "Is the opponent the teacher or a student of Obelisk Blue? It's not you again, is it?"

"Milk fuss? The principal?!"

Chronos coughed and explained, "No, because this is a punitive duel to punish them for entering the restricted area and violating school rules. It has to be a match that matches them!"

"So, who is the opponent?"

Chronos clenched his fists and introduced, "I've summoned the legendary duelists, the Labyrinth Brothers, who are skilled in two-person duels!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than two figures suddenly somersaulted up from below the stage.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the two bald men in long robes who had performed acrobatics. The one in the orange robe had the character "迷" (mi, meaning "lost") written on his head, while the one in the green robe had the character "宫" (gong, meaning "palace"). Their faces seemed to say "extra" (meaning "supporting actor").

"We are the guardians of the homeless!"

"Maze Brothers!"

Judai & Asuka: So earthy...

Chronos walked up behind them and continued, "They are the legendary duelists who fought against the Duelist King, Yugi Muto."

The Maze Brothers sneered, feigning indifference, and said, "I have no grudge against you!"

"Fight hard!"

"If you defeat us, the road will open!"

"Alright, let's duel!"

Seeing them get into position, Jaden found it amusing. "What unexpected opponents. But is this in accordance with the rules, Professor Chronos?"

With a wicked grin, Chronos explained, "Of course, no problem, because there was no requirement to designate students or teachers as your opponents in the first place."

"How interesting, let them come!"

The bald principal stared at the two bald men on the stage with what seemed like adoration.

"Since the principal agrees, then there's no problem."

So Chronos stood in the center of the platform and announced: "Both sides, take your positions!"

The four people on the stage then set up their card decks.

Incidentally, in team duels, teammates can borrow cards from each other on the field. At the same time, the team shares life points, starting at 8000 points. Each person cannot attack in the first turn.

Duel order: Asuka → Miya → Jaden → Miya

......

"The duel begins!"

After shouting, Chronos quickly stepped off the dueling platform.

[Judai Yuki & Asuka Tenjouin: LP8000]

【Maze Brothers: LP8000】

Jaden gestured to the girl beside him, "Let's begin, Asuka, according to our plan."

"Ah."

After responding, Asuka immediately drew a card from her deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Tenjoin Asuka Hand Card: 5→6]

After glancing at her hand, she picked up three cards and revealed them, "I'm going to activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand to fuse [Cyber ​​Star] and [Blade Skate]!"

"Come forth, [Electronic Ice Blade Hand]!"

A flash of white light, and a woman with fire patterns, wearing ice skates and an eye patch, appeared on the field.

[Electronic Ice Blade Hand: Attack Power 2100]

[Tenjoin Asuka Hand Card: 6→3]

"End of round."

Asuka ended her turn without any hesitation.

Then, the older brother, Mi, from the maze brothers, drew a card.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Mystery Cards: 5 → 6]

The player immediately slammed the card in his hand onto the Duel Disk, "Summoning [Landmine Spider] in Attack Position."

A flash of golden light appeared, and a giant spider was projected.

[Landmine Spider: Attack Power 2200]

[Mystery Cards: 6 → 5]

"End of round."

He didn't even set a card, and ended the round directly, clearly thinking that Judai and the others were students and posed no threat, appearing very confident.

"My turn! Draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 5 → 6]

After drawing a card, Judai also grabbed three cards.

"I also activate the Spell Card [Fusion] to fuse Winged Man and Hot Girl from my hand."

"Show yourself, [Elemental Hero Phoenix]!"

As the two heroes united, a winged, red and black muscular man flew out from the light.

[Elemental Hero Phoenix: Attack Power 2100]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 6 → 3]

"End of round."

Judai and Asuka started off similarly, both melting a monster with a single hand and ending the fight.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Miyataka Cards: 5→6]

With a cold smile, Gong slammed the card in his hand onto the Duel Disk, "Summon [Emperor Kaiba] in Defense Position!"

Another flash of golden light appeared, and a warrior shaped like a seahorse was projected out.

Emperor Seahorse: Defense 1650

[Miyataka Cards: 6→5]

Just then, Asuka on the other side suddenly shouted, "At this moment, the effect of [Cyber ​​Ice Blade Hand]!"

"When there are two monsters on the opponent's field, that monster's attack power is doubled!"

[Electronic Ice Blade Hand: Attack Power 2100 → 4200]

“What?!”

The Maze Brothers were stunned, watching as the monster with 2100 attack power instantly became 4200 attack power.

Their expressions immediately turned serious, and they no longer looked down on them just because they were students.

So Miya played another card from her hand, "Then I will activate a spell card from my hand, [Sacrifice Doll]."

"This card's effect is to Tribute one of your monsters to Special Summon a Level 7 monster from your hand."

His gaze fell on Mi, who nodded as if he agreed with his plan.

"Using the [Landmine Spider] as a sacrifice..."

As he spoke, a tuft of hair sprouted from the image on the magic card and bound the spider.

boom--! !

With a hiss, the landmine spider was crushed to pieces.

"Come forth, [Wind Demon God - Shuga]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a storm suddenly swept across the field, and soon a green ball appeared with a pair of large hands and the word 'wind' written on it.

【Wind Demon God - Shuga: Attack Power 2400】

[Miyataka Cards: 5→3]

Chapter Twenty-Six: Thunder, Wind, Water, and Demon Gods

"I'm sorry, brother."

"It's nothing. I'd sacrifice anything for you."

"No, I won't feel at ease if I don't say thank you!"

Judai and Asuka watched the Labyrinth Brothers' back-and-forth banter in silence.

The dramatic Miyako looked at the two stunned people opposite her and sneered: "I'll activate the spell card [Called by Darkness] from my hand again!"

[Miyataka Cards: 3→2]

"The effect of this card is that if your opponent has a monster with the specified card name in their deck, that card can be added to their hand."

"I am referring to..."

Gong pointed to the equally dramatic Mi beside her.

"【Thunder Demon God - Sanga】!"

Mi also sneered, echoing his brother, "Hmph! Thank you so much, of course Sanjay is in my deck!"

[Mystery Cards: 5 → 6]

Finally, the two of them simultaneously raised their fingers and pointed at Judai and Asuka.

"Let us show you the essence of team duels!!"

Judai & Asuka:......

The Maze Brothers didn't see the panicked expressions on the other side, assuming they were just two naive students intimidated by their imposing manner.

"I see." Jaden looked calmly at the two people opposite him and asked, "Is your turn over?"

""Well......""

The Maze Brothers were a little embarrassed. That wasn't what they meant. Shouldn't you be feeling the pressure?

Asuka glanced at her side, then nodded and said, "Your teamwork is indeed flawless, but my chemistry with Judai is definitely no less than yours."

"Is that so? Then I'll set one more card face down, and the turn ends."

[Miyataka Cards: 2→1]

After Miya finally finished her declaration, Asuka immediately drew a card from her deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Tenjoin Asuka Hand Card: 3→4]

After she drew the card, Jaden turned to her and ordered, "Attack freely, Asuka!"

"Yes, I know!"

So she swung her hand and commanded, "Go! [Electronic Ice Blade Hand], attack Maze Brother directly!"
