Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

However, Professor Chronos didn't know that Camilla had already obtained information about everyone's decks from the bat, his familiar, long before the duel.

Camilla already knew Professor Chronos's tactics and how he planned to act, and made targeted preparations before the duel.

That's why Professor Chronos fell here full of regret.

It's not because he's too weak...

But it’s because the opponent is so despicable!

"Is the last class over? Chronos...teacher?" Patiently waiting for Professor Chronos to say his final goodbye, Camilla also put away her facial expressions.

"...I'm at your service anytime!" Professor Chronos's face, which was like a pot of greed, stopped smiling and became serious and earnest.

At this time, Youxing no longer laughed at his determination, but crossed his arms and silently witnessed his end.

For the duelists, the sacred duel is not allowed to be disturbed by anyone!

Even so, this is a dark duel.

Even though, this duel itself is not fair...

"Hehehe~~~~ In this way, the waltz to death will begin!"

Raising his arms gracefully, Camilla ordered the attack on the vampire demon, whose body had become twice its original size due to the effect of [Giant]: "... [Vampire Creator] attacks [Ancient Mechanical Demon]!"

“——The Magic Light of Creation!”

[Vampire Creator] crossed his arms and hugged them in front of his chest.

Purple fighting spirit suddenly began to gather on his body.

After that, as the [Vampire Creator] suddenly opened his arms, a blood-red gust of wind also rushed rapidly in the direction of the [Ancient Mechanical Demon].

Attack power 6200 VS attack power 1000, the result is obvious.

Under this gust of wind attack, Professor Chronos' body was suddenly lifted up, and then under the influence of gravity, he fell heavily onto the grass in front of everyone.

His health points also instantly dropped from 4000 points to 0...

Professor Chronos, defeated!

"Boy... don't forget... the Duel of Light..."

"…Professor Chronos!"

After saying his final farewell words, Professor Chronos lost consciousness under the impact of the dark duel.

“…The End.”

With his right hand clenched into a fist and placed on his chest, Camilla, who had won the duel, took it for granted and slowly walked to Professor Chronos, then placed the doll that he had shown to everyone before on him: "...According to the previous agreement, I will accept his soul!"

Holding the key to the Seven Star Gate, along with Professor Chronos, who was wrapped in purple flames and transformed into a small puppet, Camilla couldn't help but reveal a look of emotion on her face: "...Finally, I got the first key!"

346 Pre-war meeting

"Professor Chronos...has turned into a puppet!"

Even though they had certain expectations, they still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when they actually witnessed Professor Chronos being wrapped in a purple flame, transformed into a Q-version puppet, and held in Camilla's hands.

"Come to think of it... this is not what I want!"

Looking at the Q-version doll in her hand that had all the features of Professor Chronos, a look of disgust visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared on Camilla's face.

Just as if throwing away a bag of garbage, Camilla casually threw the puppet in his hand in front of Youxing and the others.

“…You bastard!”

Seeing Camilla's frivolous behavior, Yuki Judai suddenly felt that he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He wanted to rush forward and request a second dark duel.

However, at this moment, Youxing stretched out his arm and blocked him. Then, looking at him with a puzzled look, he shook his head slightly and said, "Wait...something is wrong."

"…Judai, the next duel will be mine."

Caesar, who had not spoken much since Professor Chronos fell, clearly expressed his willingness to fight at this time.

"...Caesar?" Upon hearing this, Yuki Judai was stunned and shrank back.

"Oh? Caesar Liang... My next opponent, is it you?" Looking at his next opponent, Camilla couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and showed an interested expression.

Originally, his first opponent should have been Caesar Liang, whom he was interested in.

Unfortunately, we were hindered by that guy Chronos!

But it doesn’t matter…delicious desserts should always be saved for after the meal.

The keys and dolls will eventually be collected, so there is no need to rush.

"That's right, I will make up for Professor Chronos's regret!" The hem of his windbreaker fluttered in the wind, and Caesar stretched out his arms towards Camilla, releasing the king's pressure to his heart's content.

Behind him, one can faintly see the dazzling glow representing the surface electron flow, and the figure of the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] standing in it.

“Hehehe… Really? Then I’m really looking forward to the next battle~” The long green hair fluttered in the wind, and behind Camilla, the shadow of a magnificent building suddenly emerged.

That was not the field magic used in the previous duel - [The Undead Kingdom - Hrubania], but the ancient castle that was originally hidden in the fog and actually existed in this world and appeared before everyone's eyes!

"That's... a castle?!"

Under the waning moon, the fog gradually dissipated, and the full picture of the castle appeared before Youxing and his friends.

Looking at the scenery that appeared before their eyes, everyone couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise in their eyes.

no……

Is this unscientific and strange phenomenon really reasonable?

"Soon, the beautiful invitation will be delivered to you... Until then, just pray that you can spend the rest of your days in peace!"

Amidst everyone's shock, Camilla's body suddenly turned into a gray-white whirlwind and disappeared in front of everyone, leaving only Professor Chronos who was abandoned aside and turned into a puppet.

A key to the Gate of the Seven Stars was taken away, and Professor Chronos himself, because of his defeat in the duel, was turned by Camilla into a palm-sized, funny-looking cloth doll.

Today's battle results can be said to be extremely tragic...

"Damn it... Professor Chronos has become like this..."

He picked up the Professor Chronos doll on the ground, and a hint of resentment flashed across his eyes.

Although he had various opinions about Professor Chronos in the past and had conflicts with him in various ways.

But... after witnessing the end of Professor Chronos' life, Wanzhangmu finally chose to let go.

Everything in the past seems to be no longer important, and after that... we have to look to the future.

"Camilla...she just left like that?" After pretending to be cool, she ran away. Yuki Judai was very dissatisfied.

"What should we do next?" Asuka turned her gaze towards Yousei, hoping he could come up with some ideas.

"Professor Chronos... has become like that..." Hayato was still in a state of shock and loss.

"The woman named Camilla asked us to go back and wait patiently for her invitation."

Shrugging his shoulders, Youxing showed a helpless look to everyone: "Today's duel... looks like it will have to end here..."

"Too……"

After looking at each other, everyone took Professor Chronos's puppet and returned to the Duel Academy headquarters from the lakeside that served as the battlefield.

Regarding today's defeat and the tragic consequences...

Everyone, including You Xing, couldn't help but feel varying degrees of emotion in their hearts.

However, there is no need to be so desperate now.

Perhaps, Professor Chronos can still be saved.

After all...when you can't solve a problem, you can also solve the person who caused the problem!

As long as Camilla is defeated, Professor Chronos, who has been turned into a puppet, might be able to return to his original state!

……

"Hey... How can I return Professor Chronos to his original state?"

In the infirmary of the Duel Academy, everyone gathered here and was thinking about their next move.

Looking at the puppet in Manjyoume's hand, Yujo Judai couldn't help but cross his arms and let out a deep sigh.

Although Professor Chronos was usually an eyesore and often caused trouble for him.

But... when this person really disappeared, Yuki Judai felt a little uncomfortable.

Just like when Manjomu resolutely left before, Youxing felt regretful, as if he had lost a handy sandbag by his side...

This kind of mood is quite entangled.

"The only way out is to win the dark duel..."

Taking over Yuki Judai's topic, Daitokuji teacher, who was stroking the Pharaoh's head, had a deep shadow on his face: "But...if you lose, you will become a puppet like Professor Chronos, I don't want that!"

As these words came out, Daitokuji teacher unconsciously pinched Pharaoh's head.

The fat cat, feeling the pain of having his fate strangled by the throat, began to struggle desperately in his arms.

After that, Pharaoh jumped out of Daitokuji Sensei's arms and quickly hid under the bed.

Seeing his cat running away, Daitokuji followed it and hid under the bed. He shouted to Youxing and the others in a frightened tone: "If that old lady sends out invitations again, tell her for me... I'm sick and can't go!"

,^【"

It’s not that I don’t want to go... I don’t dare to go, but teacher, I’m sick!

He is well-reasoned and convincing, and is a hero among cowards.

"Is grandma okay?"

As he pondered Daitokuji's remarks, Youxing couldn't help but reveal an amusement look on his face.

If that lady with facial expressions knew what Daitokuji teacher said about her, she would probably be so furious!

"Teacher...you are really..."

Even Marufuji Sho couldn't help but cover his face, feeling ashamed of Daitokuji's stage fright.

Even Professor Chronos bravely (?) chose to face the danger. As a teacher and dormitory manager, how can you let your students stand in front of you and fight in your place?

"But... Teacher, I'm really scared~"

"I originally thought... the Dark Duel was just a rumor... but I didn't expect it to really happen..."

From under the bed, the weak voice of Daitokuji teacher was heard.

It seems that he himself realized that his behavior was indeed shameful and that he could not be a role model for his students.

"A battle where life and soul are at stake. This is the Dark Duel."

Asuka, who was sitting beside Tenjouin Fubuki's bed and watching over her unconscious brother, whispered silently, "So, we must win the next duel."

A serious expression appeared on Asuka's beautiful face at this moment.

Looking at her brother's current situation, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Wantonly playing with the souls and lives of others...

The King of Seven Stars...

What do you think life is?

Are dark duels just trivial games to you?

"In short, as long as we keep winning, that's all that matters."

"If you are afraid before a battle, you will only become a hindrance..."

"The Dark Duel is indeed a terrifying duel, but precisely because of this, we cannot lose..." Youxing cleared his throat, hugged his arms and leaned against the wall, opened his eyes, and said calmly: "...Whether it is a Dark Duel or facing any opponent, I do not intend to lose, nor will I choose to run away!"

"...According to what Darkness said before, the moment the three phantom demons wake up, the world will end in despair... Unless we can escape to outer space or another world, we will be dragged into this magnificent struggle, either actively or passively!"

"Rather than lingering on until the very last moment, I would rather... take the initiative to join the battle!"

The sentences are sonorous and powerful, and every word is precious.

At this moment, Youxing's face was full of firm determination.
