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

"This is how the same thing?"

"What happened to Prince Zhai?"

Faced with their doubts, Misuzu finally began to reveal her true feelings.

"Now the older brother has become a person with two different personalities: a gentle face and a demonic face (facial expressions) that makes him happy by leading the world toward destruction. Most of the time, he is dominated by the evil personality."

Upon hearing this, Judai stepped forward and asked, "Then is the Society of Light that has recently appeared also due to this personality interference?"

Misuzu nodded slightly and replied, "I'm afraid so. That evil power of light was undoubtedly bestowed by that personality."

"My brother and I have had the ability to see other people's future destinies since we were little. Back then, we were young and ignorant, and we revealed this ability to those around us. People were afraid and distanced themselves from us..."

Listening to Misuzu's account, Jaden couldn't help but feel pity, while Edward felt the same way. Since his father's death, no one dared to approach him, and he understood the feeling of being ostracized.

Misutomo's recollection continues: "My brother and I depended on each other for survival, wandering around, but thanks to our divination abilities, we still managed to find a place to stand."

"However, one day, my brother changed. Once, a customer who came for a divination brought a card, and I sensed an ominous power emanating from it. Although I told my brother to throw the card away, he had already been manipulated by it."

"And that card is a terrifying and evil Hero Card, possessing the evil root that leads the universe to destruction!"

Upon hearing her description, Edward rushed forward and asked urgently, "Could it be that the card is the [Hero of Destiny] card that was taken from Father? Is that card currently in the possession of the Prince of Sai?"

“No…” Miyu denied his guess: “The card disappeared after it took control of my brother.”

"what?"

While the two were still processing this, the virtual world suddenly began to tremble, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

And this is indeed the case.

"The program has begun to crash. You two should get out of here immediately!"

As soon as Misuzu finished speaking, a portal connecting to the consciousness of reality appeared beside her.

"You may leave, Judai, Edward!"

Judai: "Uh, what's wrong, Misutomo?"

"This is a program I designed specifically. I want to digitize my soul and make it something to protect my elder brother. This has nothing to do with the outcome of the duel."

"Mei Shouzhi..."

"you......"

Her resolute demeanor left Jaden and Edward unsure how to stop her.

"I'm counting on you two from now on, Jaden Yuki and Ed Phoenix. Please use your power to save my kind brother and stop the wheel of fate that is leading to the destruction of the world!"

After saying that, she quickly transformed into data and merged into the virtual world.

Moved by her determination, Judai readily agreed, "I promise you, with the power of myself and Edward, we will definitely rescue Saiou!"

He then followed Edward through the tunnel back to reality.

As the virtual world became completely empty, a boy's muttering voice rang out.

"What a good little sister. I'll have Seto send someone to take good care of her physical body in the real world."

After saying this, the rudimentary virtual space quickly collapsed.

After their consciousness returned to the real world, Jaden and Edward asked Kaiba Corporation for help in rescuing Misuzu, but after being told that someone had been arranged to take care of her, they left with a sense of relief.

As for the four extras that Miyuki had lost, they all woke up and returned to the normal world of ordinary people.

......

Three days later, Jaden and the other teachers and students of Duel Academy ended their school trip and returned to Duel Academy by cruise ship. Edward believed that Saiou would continue to target Jaden, so he also went to Duel Academy.

"I never expected so many things to happen on a school trip. You must have had a tough time, Judai."

As soon as he returned to his familiar dormitory, Jaden lay down and received Asuka's gentle care.

"Yes, whether it's the matter of Saiō or the matter of the Society of Light, things are starting to look promising. Now we should figure out how to resolve these problems one by one."

For the next two weeks, Duel Academy was quiet. Principal Samejima had not returned, and Saiou made no other moves.

However, the fact that Saiō doesn't cause trouble doesn't mean that the Tenth Generation doesn't have to do anything.

And so, the method for dealing with the Society of Light that was proposed to the interim principal Chronos has finally been implemented today.

The requirement is that at least one person must defeat Jaden in a duel, otherwise the dormitory will be abolished.

So all the students who joined the Society of Light gathered at the dueling practice arena, while Jaden stood alone below facing this large group of people.

Several familiar faces were already seated in the front row of the stands, watching the game.

"Is he serious? Is Judai really going to fight the entire Society of Light all by himself?" Misawa Daichi muttered to himself in disbelief.

Asuka nodded. "It's true. This was decided before the school trip."

Manjoume looked annoyed: "That Judai guy really loves to show off..."

Even Edward was speechless. "He dares to do something so thankless and exhausting. I really don't know what he's thinking?"

Before long, Jaden casually stood on a duel field, tilted his head back, and shouted at the members of the Society of Light with a disdainful attitude: "Come on, you weaklings, challenge me with all your might!"

"One-on-one, a tag-team battle, or a group battle, it doesn't matter. There's only one outcome for you all—to be completely crushed by me!"

"Yuki Judai, you've really gone too far!"

"How dare you!"

"Don't get too cocky!"

"..."

Jaden's taunt instantly ignited the fury of everyone in the Society of Light.

Chronos, who was on standby at all times, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his face. "Oh my god~, Judai has really been suppressed for too long lately~ and is having a tantrum."

And Judai did indeed intend to take this opportunity to go wild.

Alright, who will be the first brave challenger?

Chapter 178 The Arrogant Frog Emperor

"Let me have a go at you first, Judai Yuki!"

A short man with blue hair was the first to step forward.

"Uh, how could it be you...?" Judai's lips twitched as he looked at the short man in front of him.

"Even you from the Red Dorm have joined the Society of Light, Sho Marufuji?"

That's right, the person who appeared was none other than Marufuji Sho, the real bottom-ranked student in the Red Dorm.

Upon hearing this, Edward asked in confusion, "Marufuji Sho? What's his relationship with Marufuji Ryo?"

Asuka nodded and replied, "Marufuji Sho is indeed Ryo's biological younger brother, but..."

Misawa added, "But Marufuji Sho is far less capable than his brother, and he's also very cowardly. He's a notorious good-for-nothing in the Red Dormitory, and he's on the verge of being expelled."

He was also a loser who wanted to recognize Judai as his elder brother but failed. He just doesn't know when he joined the Society of Light.

However, after joining the white army, this disgusting piece of shit also became arrogant and dared to face Judai, the real number one in the academy.

"Hahahaha, after receiving Lord Saiō's blessing, I am no longer the person I used to be. You should regret your arrogance! I will repay you for all the humiliation you once inflicted upon me, Yuki Judai!"

"Ugh... I never noticed before, is Marufuji Sho such a disgusting person? He even wanted to acknowledge me as his older brother at first, is his heart really that twisted?"

Jaden's feelings are shared by everyone; not only are his grades and abilities poor, but his personality is also so dark and petty.

Previously, it might have been because they were too cowardly that they failed to notice, but now, after being brainwashed, that dark side has been magnified, making them utterly disgusting.

Even Judai felt it was beneath him to be an opponent like that.

'Fine, let's teach him a lesson!'

Judai was already letting him off the hook out of consideration for Marufuji Ryo. He decided to deal with this piece of shit first, then stay away from him and let him fend for himself.

"Alright, let's begin. The abolition of the Society of Light will start with you, Marufuji Sho!"

"Hmph, what utterly arrogant!"

The two set up their decks and then began playing.

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yujo Judai: LP4000]

【Marufuji Sho: LP4000】

"I'll attack first!"

Judai didn't hold back and took the first round.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 5 → 6]

After glancing through his hand, Jaden first threw out one of his cards, saying, "First, I activate the Spell Card [Double Summon] from my hand. I can perform two Normal Summons this turn."

Then, he placed the other card he had drawn onto the duel disk.

"I summon the [Yellow Spring Frog] in an attack stance."

hum!

A flash of white light appeared on the field, and a frog with wings on its back and a halo above its head was projected.

[Yellow Spring Frog: Attack Power 100]

"Yomi Frog? Jaden changed his deck?"

"Learning from Princess Rose and playing with a frog deck?"

"Who knows..."

Just as his companions started discussing it, Marufuji Sho below became furious and embarrassed.

"A weak monster with an attack power of 100? Are you underestimating me?"

"So what?"

"you!!"

Judai ignored the other's anger and continued to play the next card.

"I offer the [Yellow Spring Frog] on the field as a sacrifice to summon [Emperor Testaros] in Attack Form!"

Immediately, the Yellow Spring Frog disappeared from the field amidst a burst of light, and then a blazing fire suddenly ignited on the field, gradually revealing a giant clad in bronze armor.

[Emperor Flame Testaros: Attack Power 2400]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 6 → 3]

That's right, Jaden is using the famous Frog Emperor deck from back in the day.

"It's actually an Emperor deck?"

"That's quite unexpected..."

The people in the audience had seen Jaden play against the Emperor deck before, so they were all a bit surprised except for Asuka.

After returning to the academy, Asuka learned about this incident. Judai said he had forgotten to return the cards, but she strongly suspected that he had embezzled them.

Ahem! Anyway, let's skip the specific reasons for now...

At this moment, pointing to the giant on the field, Na said, "When the Emperor Yan is successfully summoned, the opponent discards one card from their hand. If the discarded card is a monster card, it deals damage to the opponent equal to the level of that monster multiplied by 100."

"What?!" Marufuji Sho's confident expression froze.

"Discard the middle card..."

"Tch!" Marufuji Sho clicked his tongue and threw the card into the graveyard.

[Marufuji Sho's hand cards: 5 → 4]

The card image was also displayed in Jaden's eyes: "The discarded card is [Armored Robot Armor Electric Combination], level eight, therefore you will suffer 800 points of damage."

Emperor Yan raised his right hand, and a ball of flame shot towards Marufuji Sho.

boom--! !

"Waaaaah—!!"

[Marufuji Sho: LP4000→3200]
