Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"When I went to the venue, I only saw Professor Kunonos running around in a panic... and the destroyed display cabinets, but I didn't see the deck I imagined..."

Asuka smiled and said, "After learning about what happened from Professor Kunonos, we decided to look around and found you."

"...What a coincidence?"

Scratching his cheek, You Xing asked again: "You can't have just arrived, right? You know, the beam of light that shot up into the sky just now has been ejected countless times..."

"Of course not..." Marufuji Ryo smiled slightly towards Yusei, shook his head and said, "I wanted to stop you... but it would be a pity if such a wonderful duel was stopped!"

“…That’s true.” Misawa Daichi, who was almost ignored, finally found an opportunity to interrupt and quickly expressed his own sigh.

After watching Yusei's performance, he had new ideas about the construction of his new deck.

"Hey, hey... Why are you just watching? It's Yusei who is fighting desperately! It would be better if you come over and cheer him on!" Facing the two people who suddenly appeared, Yuki Judai began to speak up for Yusei.

If we had known that you were there, we wouldn't have been so worried.

"Good fellow... That means one of my trump cards - [Chaos Man], has been seen by you two?" Yuxing couldn't help but complain when he realized that he seemed to have been spied on by the two of them.

"It's not just us..." Asuka shook her finger at Yusei and pointed to the edge of the cliff above their heads.

"Um……?!"

Following the direction Asuka pointed, Youxing saw one figure after another appearing here.

In the crowd, the uniforms of Osiris red, Apollo yellow, and Obelisk blue complemented each other, and countless eyes were focused on Youxing at the moment.

The scene at this moment is a grand occasion that attracts everyone's attention!

"So... everyone has the same idea!"

Yusei sighed unconsciously and was surrounded by countless gazes. He then withdrew his gaze and looked towards the direction of Kagurazaka.

“Aaaaaah…Aaaaaah…”

An unconscious gurgling sound came out of his mouth, and Kagurazaka's consciousness seemed to be about to vanish into nothingness.

No! This is not true!

I must be dreaming!!!

The current situation, for the victorious Yusei, is a brilliant and glorious star-studded stage, but for Kagurazaka, who is like a drowned dog, it is equivalent to a large-scale social death scene...

As a member of the Sun God Yellow, he also had a Duel King deck, but he was still no match for Osiris Red...

Facing complete defeat in the duel, his image also turned into a miserable, half-human, half-ghost appearance...

With myself like this and Kagurazaka like this, how can I still have the face to live in this world...

“Aaaaaaaaah…!!!”

Thinking of this, Kagurazaka suddenly lost his mind and swam desperately towards the depths of the sea, as if he wanted to bury himself in the sea.

"Fuck... Kagurazaka, this kid can't do that!!!"

“Tsk, tsk, tsk… that’s too cruel!”

"Not to the extent... Really not to the extent..."

"Ah... If I were him, I wouldn't have the face to stay here any longer..."

There was no imagined scene of someone rushing out to save people.

One after another, the sarcastic voices from the crowd echoed in the surrounding space, making Kagurazaka's desire to commit suicide even stronger.

"This place... doesn't seem to be suitable for him..."

Yusei looked at the indifference around him, closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then shouted to Kagurazaka who was gradually moving away from him: "Kagurazaka!!! Do you want to run away???"

"...Yusei?"

After hearing this, Yugi Judai and Asuka looked in Yusei's direction.

They didn't understand Yuxing's actions, so they could only stare at him.

"……run?"

Hearing Yusei's shout, Kagurazaka, who had originally planned to choose to commit suicide without hesitation, suddenly stopped and looked in Yusei's direction with a strong hatred: "Yusei! How could you possibly understand my feelings?"

"You are surrounded by your friends, you are surrounded by the light, you are admired by everyone... How can you understand the feelings of a loser like me???"

"I really don't understand your thoughts... and I don't want to make too many comments on your choice..."

Noticing that Kagurazaka was attracted by his shouting, Yusei continued, "But, in your heart, don't you have even a little bit of unwillingness to admit defeat? Don't you think that I should become stronger and defeat those who once looked down on me?"

"I……"

I don't!

Faced with Yusei's questioning, Kagurazaka instinctively wanted to refute. He had such a thought, but he could not express his thoughts out loud.

These are just three simple words, yet they are so hard to express...

why?

"Kagurazaka, do you know why you lost to me?"

Facing the confused Kagurazaka, Yusei suddenly asked a question that interested him greatly.

"why?"

"That's because..." Looking back at the people who were staring at him, Yusei immediately said, "I have something that you don't, and that is trusting the deck's intentions!"

"Duel King Muto Yugi's deck is indeed very strong... but it is not your deck after all."

"With just that deck, you'll never be able to defeat me..."

The bond between the OCG card player and the deck is fully extended!

In terms of bond, you, Kagurazaka, can only be compared to me, Yu.

"Mind...what is that?"

As Kagurazaka whispered this unfamiliar word, an inquiring expression appeared on his face.

"emmm..."

Unable to express his thoughts specifically for a moment, Yusei couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression on his face: "...In words you can understand, it is..."

"That is to say, every card you choose can move you, so you will believe in the deck from the bottom of your heart... Your deck is filled with cards that you choose to believe in, and in this way, the deck will respond to your call... That belief in the deck will give the duelist the corresponding courage and the determination to determine the outcome of the duel..."

Caesar, who had been silent until now, said the concluding words on behalf of Yusei: "If that deck was used by the Duel King Yugi Muto himself, the result of the duel just now would definitely not be as one-sided as yours."

"Kagurazaka, what you lack is your own path!"

"Yusei... Caesar... I..."

After hearing the explanations of Yusei and Caesar (Marufuji Ryo), the thought of self-destruction in Kagurazaka's heart gradually disappeared, and was replaced by the thought of starting over.

"Blindly imitating others will only make you lose your way!" Yusei followed Marufuji Ryo's words and pointed a finger at Kagurazaka who turned around in the sea: "Kagurazaka, the reason you lost is not because of anything else, it's just because you didn't find your own path! You don't have your own deck!"

"I... um..."

"woo woo woo woo……"

Tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. Having paid a heavy price for her actions, Kagurazaka covered her cheeks and cried bitterly.

The night wind, with a hint of coolness, swept across Kagurazaka's wet body, taking away his momentary impulsive thoughts.

"Change to another place and start a new life."

By speaking his true thoughts frankly, Youxing saved a life that should have been lost.

Unlike the previous evil Titan, Kagurazaka, who went astray, has paid the price he deserves.

Although he made many mistakes, his life should not have ended in this way.

There is no need to force himself to stay in Duel Academy. Kagurazaka can start a new life somewhere else now.

……

...

After that, according to the agreement with Mahad, Yusei returned the deck to the person in charge of the exhibition, Professor Kunonos, and while returning the deck, he dodged his grateful hug.

That eccentric handsome face was finally enjoyed by Marufuji Sho.

As for Kagurazaka, he was persuaded by Yusei to return to the shore, and the next day he left the Duel Academy and started his new life.

"Sure enough, this kind of peaceful daily life is what I want!"

Holding the poster given to him by Professor Kunonos, Yusei stood in the exhibition hall with Yuki Judai and others, with a satisfied expression on his face.

287 Transfer Student - Saotome Rei

A series of events triggered by the theft of the deck were finally resolved satisfactorily due to Yusei's intervention.

After returning the deck to the exhibition hall, Yusei and Yuki Judai received a poster with a full-length portrait of Yugi Muto from Professor Kunonos and Aunt Tami respectively.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but the posters they received had Xiaobiao and Wang Xiang’s duel postures printed on them respectively…

Anyway, in Yusei and his friends' dormitory, in addition to the poster representing the "Traitor Dragon" of Osiris Red, there are two more Duel King posters taped to the wall.

……

...

After that, a few more days passed.

"There is someone I want to introduce to you all~~~"

As the sun sets, at dinner time one evening, in the cafeteria of the Osiris Red Dormitory, Teacher Daitokuji suddenly appears here, greets everyone with a smile on his face, and announces one thing: "This is the new member who joins our Osiris Red as a transfer student - Saotome Rei~~"

After saying this, the teacher of Daitoku-ji Temple slowly moved away.

From behind him, a petite boy wearing a small Osiris red uniform and a large beret that covered his entire head appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The transfer student named Saotome Rei looked up at everyone in the cafeteria, then quickly lowered her head again, her cheeks beginning to turn slightly red.

It seems that he is... an introverted child...

"...Transfer student, at this time?" Yusei, who was sitting with Yuki Judai and the others and was eating, heard the voice, suddenly raised his head and looked towards where the transfer student was.

Saotome...

Saotome Rei...

This name, why does it sound familiar?

It seems... I heard it somewhere...

I can't remember it for a moment...

"Hey! This transfer student has such a petite figure, he feels like a girl!" Hayato tried hard to open his eyes wide and couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the petite appearance of the transfer student.

"He finally transferred here, but was assigned to the worst school in Duel Academy, Osiris Red. He must be very frustrated... I feel like I understand his feelings!" This is what Marufuji Sho said. Until now, he has not given up the idea of ​​upgrading.

Although, upgrading in the short term has basically nothing to do with him.

--Snapped! ! !

"...Okay!" Yuki Juyo, who had been silent all the time, quickly stuffed the rice in front of him into his mouth after hearing the speeches of the three people. Then he slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and rushed to Daitokuji Sensei and Saotome Rei.

Yuxing: “?”

Saotome: “???”

Everyone couldn't help but show surprise at Yuki Judai's sudden action.

This kid Yuki Judai...what new thing is he planning to do?

"Cough cough!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Yuki Judai stood in front of the two of them, cleared his throat, and stretched out his arms towards the ceiling as if no one was around, then shouted loudly: "Come on! Come on! Rei-san~~~~"

……

Silence, suffocating silence.

Because of Yuki Judai's extremely abrupt behavior, the cafeteria fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

"I wipe..."
