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

Ignoring Saiou's anger, Misuchi reminded Judai, "Alright, 'Sky' is no longer controlled by the Light of Destruction. Now, use the duel to expel it from your brother's body, Judai."

"I see......"

After nodding, Judai waved his hand at the opposite side and roared, "It's time to end this! Neo-Universe Warrior attacks Saiou... no, attacks the Light of Annihilation directly, Neo-Universe Spiral!"

At his command, Ultraman leaped out and delivered a chop to Saiou.

"Hmph! Ahh ...

[Zaiwang Takuma: LP1700→0]

"It's over..."

The king's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his face bulged and twitched wildly.

"There's only one reason you failed, Light of Destruction, a very simple reason: because you pissed me off."

Tenth generation helped without searching Qun: 粫℃◇韭∨寺′ˉ隣＾∧牭∨！ 三⌒∶午＿↓俬存在帽子。

"This shouldn't be happening! No!!!"

At this moment, the consciousness clone of the King of the West, or rather, the Light of Annihilation, was utterly desperate. In the blink of an eye, it was extracted from the King of the West's body, turned into countless points of light, and disappeared completely.

The Light of Destruction was finished, and the facial muscles of the monk Zhai Wang suddenly relaxed. His crazy and ferocious face slowly returned to normal, and his wild blue hair fell back down his back. However, his energy and spirit seemed to have been completely drained.

"Thank you..." In the brief moment when he regained some consciousness, he managed to utter these two words to Judai before his vision went black and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Seeing Jaden's victory, the anxious viewers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, I won!"

"Phew, I knew it! Judai wouldn't lose to someone like that!"

"Well done, Tenth Generation!"

Amidst a joyful clamor, Misuzu's illusory image appeared and bowed to Judai: "Brother has returned to his former self. Thank you, Judai!"

"Mizutomo, what about you?"

"I should wake up in reality soon, and we will definitely meet again."

After saying that, Misuzu's image turned into specks of light and disappeared.

The battle against the Light of Destruction has finally come to an end.

After that, Principal Samejima and Pegasus arranged for people to clean up the mess, and had the still unconscious Saiou carefully carried away.

Because Edward was worried about his best friend, he left with him, giving up the GX tournament which was still ongoing, while the others went back to participate in the competition as normal.

As for that minor prince who caused a lot of trouble, he has been forgotten in some corner.

......

The GX tournament proceeded as scheduled over the next few days.

After Edward withdrew from the tournament, he no longer had any particularly heavyweight opponents; it was basically just internal battles between Jaden and the others from Duel Academy.

Since everyone knew each other well and was familiar with each other's abilities, they weren't very motivated during the match. As expected, Judai and Asuka fought to the final match.

Since the two were a couple, neither of them had much enthusiasm for playing cards, so Asuka simply surrendered.

So Jaden easily won the championship, ending this GX tournament.

Chapter 205 New Semester, Transfer Student

As always, the annual freshman orientation ceremony was held in the college auditorium at the start of the new semester.

Faced with Principal Samejima's boring speech, Judai felt sleepy and, ignoring the stares of others, buried his head in Asuka's arms and fell asleep.

After delivering his usual bureaucratic speech, the bald-headed principal finally got to the point: "Next, this year I asked the Duel Academy's Principal (whom I didn't know) to help us welcome some new students from the outer academies!"

"They are all top students from their respective departments, who came here to study in pursuit of the pinnacle of dueling!"

As the bald principal finished speaking, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at Judai, who was lying in Asuka's arms, hoping that this tournament champion wouldn't be too discouraging for the freshmen...

"Recently, challengers who came seeking fame and fortune all arrived full of confidence, only to leave dejected and disheartened; some even seemed to have lost all will to live and questioned the meaning of life."

It's probably because Judai won too easily, and his self-esteem was hurt...

The bald principal quickly composed himself and coughed, "Then let's begin the introduction!"

"First up is the representative of Duel Academy East Campus, Amen Garham!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bespectacled young man with a string of Buddhist prayer beads around his neck, who looked very kind, walked in amidst applause. He waved to everyone and glanced casually in the direction of Judai, seemingly lost in thought.

"Austin O'Brien, representative of Duel Academy West Campus!" (A reliable teammate number one)

The African mercenary with big lips walked in expressionlessly, without saying hello, but he subconsciously glanced at Judai.

"And also, the representative from Duel Academy South Campus, Jim Claudel Cook!" (A reliable second teammate)

A cowboy carrying a female alligator strode up. As for why it was a female alligator... let's not even talk about why alligators have eyelashes. Wouldn't a man be disgusted carrying a female alligator on his back?

"That crocodile is alive, right? Is it fuming?"

"It seems so~ Diaru!"

Principal Samejima ignored the two teachers' reactions and continued, "Finally, we have John Anderson, the representative of Duel Academy North Campus!"

Then a shy blue-haired boy came out.

Manjoume Lightning coldly stared at the blue-haired boy on the stage, "John Anderson? Could it be John who owns the Gem Beast deck?"

"Do you know this person, Manjoume-kun?" Asuka, sitting in front, turned her head curiously and asked.

Her movements also woke up Judai, who yawned and then sat up.

Suppressing his jealousy, Manjoume explained to her, "The Manjoume Group once offered a high price to purchase the [Jewel Beast] card from the International Illusion Society. Ancient documents discovered by the International Illusion Society record that the Roman Empire once possessed seven priceless gems."

"These gems were later salvaged along with a merchant ship that sank to the bottom of the sea. Pegasus eventually obtained them and made them into seven cards."

"Those seven cards are the [Jade Beast]?"

Manjou nodded and continued, "That's right. President Pegasus didn't sell these cards for money, but instead gave them to a boy who won a certain tournament."

"Is that boy the one standing on the podium named John Anderson?"

"I'm afraid so..."

"Hey~~, he's got quite a background..." After listening to Manjoume's description, Judai looked curiously at the blue-haired boy on the podium.

'Jewel Beast... I remember its universal effect is that when destroyed, it's set as a continuous spell on the field...'

It's a fairly interesting series, but the deck's strength is more for fun, and since Manjoume said that the person only has seven cards, he didn't take it too seriously.

The boy seemed to notice Judai's gaze and waved in Judai's direction.

"Heh, interesting."

At the same time, the bald principal pointed to a burly middle-aged man with a hairstyle that looked like a general who could kill someone, and introduced him: "Besides the transfer student, I also want to introduce another person, Professor Cobra (Cobra), who was specially invited from the West Campus this year!"

"What the heck! Another professor has arrived at the Duel Academy?"

"Diaru! Another competitor has emerged. Don't you dare stand in my way of getting promoted!"

"Humph......"

Professor Cobra ignored the two goofballs beside him and walked straight to the front: "Nice to meet you all! I was going to greet you here, but even if I did, you wouldn't improve!"

"What the hell! That arrogant guy!"

"Who does he think he is? He came in acting like a boss!"

The students were very unhappy with this guy who started off by showing off. "So what if he has a horn? Go ahead and poke me to death!"

"Hmph, compared to boring topics, practical experience is more useful—that's my teaching principle!"

"Hmph, is this guy a pragmatist? He's so straightforward..." Judai muttered, resting his chin on his hand.

Professor Cobra ignored the protests of the weak: "Therefore, in order to implement this policy as soon as possible, let's hold a demonstration duel right here!"

"A demonstration match!?"

"I've never heard of such a thing before—milk fuss?"

"This... Professor Cobra..." Principal Samejima hesitated. Although there was nothing wrong with Fu's teaching method, having a duel during the freshman ceremony was really... well, it didn't seem like it was out of the question?

The principal, unaware of the ulterior motives, became interested and tacitly allowed him to continue.

Professor Cobra, his face taut, muttered to himself, "I will decide the opponent myself..."

He pointed at the bewildered John in an unyielding tone: "John Anderson!"

"what?"

"And...his opponent, Judai Yuki!"

Wow——! !

Upon hearing Judai's name, the academy's auditorium erupted in an uproar.

"Oh, is Jaden going to have another duel? He's never experienced defeat before!"

"That's great! Judai-senpai is the champion of the GX tournament!"

"The guy named John must be pretty good to be chosen as Judai's opponent by the new professor."

"Now we're going to have a good show!"

"..."

Whether they were upperclassmen or freshmen who had heard of the Judai's name, everyone was filled with anticipation.

Faced with everyone's high expectations, Judai scratched his cheek helplessly, "Being too famous isn't always a good thing. Whenever something happens, it always ends up on me..."

"Heh, well, that's what happens when you always win."

At Asuka's teasing, Jaden reluctantly stood up from his seat.

Chapter 206 Judai VS John

"Ten generations have traveled to the city, and have admired the name for a long time!"

John extended his right hand toward Judai, who had just stepped onto the podium.

“John, right? Hello!” Judai politely shook the hand that was offered to him.

"Yes, yes, hello!" John excitedly grasped Jaden's hands with both of his, "I've always wanted to duel someone as strong as you!"

"Uh...is that so...then, please take care of me?"

"Please advise!"

Seeing how familiar the other person was, Judai's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Ahem!" Professor Cobra was annoyed at being ignored: "Before the final battle, I'll give you a gift!"

He took out bracelets he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and handed them to the two of them: "Please wear these on your right hand!"

"Gift?"

"what is this?"

Kobra offered no explanation, and the two of them curiously examined the two devices, but didn't sense anything special about them.

So the two of them had no doubts and put on the two bracelets as instructed.

"Then, you two prepare yourselves, the duel will begin in one hour."

......

The scene shifts to the Duel Arena, where Jaden and Johan have already set up their Duel Disks and are standing on the Duel Platform.

"Go for it, Tenth Generation Lord!!"

As a new student, Saotome Rei sat in the front row early to cheer on Judai.

After the GX tournament, Jaden had more admirers, but because Asuka was his official girlfriend, the other girls weren't confident they could compete with her, so they all just secretly admired her.

Only Rei, with her love-struck mind, dared to reveal her attitude in public, even glancing at Asuka with a slightly provocative look.

So Asuka glared at Jaden with a hint of jealousy: 'You're really popular...'

Judai, understanding her meaning, shrugged: 'I can't help it.'
