Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

Professor Chronos gave Marufuji Ryo an admiring look as he folded his arms and remained silent, then said with a smile: "Well, in this case, Marufuji, as a role model for this year's graduates, you will have the power to freely choose your opponent among the students in the graduation duel~ Here you go!"

"Oh! Caesar's opponent... Who will it be?"

"Yeah... I also want to ask this question. Who will Caesar designate?"

After hearing Professor Chronos's speech, everyone began to whisper.

Speaking of third-year students, perhaps only the missing and then-returned Tenjouin Fubuki has the strength to fight against Caesar, right?

But...due to being absent for so long, he cannot graduate today.

Strictly speaking, Tenjouin Fubuki will have to stay for another year.

Therefore, Caesar's duel opponent became a topic of discussion among everyone.

Which lucky guy will have the honor to become the victim of the electronic dragon?

It really makes people look forward to it~~~

……

"So... you came to us specifically to find an opponent for the graduation duel?"

Osiris Red Dormitory, Yusei and his friends' room.

After Hayato left, this room changed from a four-person room to a three-person room. Today, an unexpected visitor came to visit.

Marufuji Ryo... this man who had obtained full marks in all subjects of the written test and obtained special qualifications as a model representative student, and who had been the hot topic in the academy recently, went straight to Yusei and his roommates' dormitory after leaving the classroom.

This was also the first time he had been inside this dormitory in his three years at the Duel Academy.

After hearing his purpose and looking at Caesar's serious expression, Youxing couldn't help but ask this question.

"...Yes, my opponent has already been decided!"

Staring at Youxing's face seriously, Caesar's blue eyes revealed a deep cold light: "Youxing, after losing to you before, I have been waiting for such an opportunity."

"During this time, I have never slacked off even for a moment... Even though I have gained new strength, I don't think I have the confidence to win absolutely."

"So, I want to use this duel to verify my growth during this period of time!"

Excluding the duel in which Camilla took hostages to force Marufuji Ryo to surrender, this man called Caesar has, strictly speaking, only been defeated by Yusei.

Moreover, this news was only known to a very small number of people who were present at the time and was not widely circulated.

In most people's minds, Marufuji Ryo is still the Caesar with an undefeated record!

"...Choose me? Why don't you consider others like Judai and Manjome?"

Shaking his finger, Yusei gave his suggestion.

Don't do it bro...

You're about to graduate, can't you just be more content?

"…Although I'm also looking forward to fighting against an interesting guy like Judai, deep down, I still want to fight you, Yusei!"

Staring at Yuxing's eyes earnestly, Caesar expressed his determination with a serious face: "No one has ever left such a deep impression on me. Yuxing, you are the first man to enter my heart..."

五&一&七+八&%八#~加&1一/&零@}①|⑦%④$+五$~酒<④+⑨<⑧|#0}1**7<@4>5/9-4/-9*8零+&七$&六%一“…N~J…停停停！！！”

Seeing Marufuji Ryo, who seemed to be an idiot, talking more and more outrageously, with a faint attitude of taking advantage of the man, Youxing, with sweat on his forehead, quickly waved his hand to interrupt his speech, shrugged helplessly and said: "Okay, okay... If you say so, then I can't refuse, right?"

"Don't say such misleading things anymore. If you want to duel, I'll give you my word!"

In this way, Youxing accepted the duel request from Caesar.

Originally, he was thinking of giving this chance to show off to Judai, and letting him and Caesar have a replica of a draw duel.

But... now that I've been named, this idea no longer works.

Instead of standing still timidly, it is better to openly accept duel requests from others.

If the stalemate continues, I'm afraid it will cause some deeper misunderstandings...

"Oh? You agreed? Well, that's it... I'm looking forward to the duel later."

After patting Yusei's shoulder and nodding to Yuki Judai and Marufuji Sho beside him, Marufuji Ryo, feeling satisfied, turned around and left.

"Brother... in the final duel in this academy, you really chose Yusei as your opponent?" Watching his brother's departing back, Maruto Sho couldn't help but sigh.

For him, whether it is his brother or Youxing who is in the same grade, they are people he will never be able to surpass in this life.

He would not be surprised at all to see another duel between the two.

"That's amazing! Yuxing...you were actually named by that Caesar!" Wiping the tip of his nose, Yucheng Judai's face was full of joy.

Caesar, Yusei...

These two people who had defeated him in duels one after another were about to duel again after a long time...

How could he not be excited by such a fact?

“Hmm…well…”

Nodding absentmindedly, after Marufuji Ryo left, Yusei, who was surrounded by Yuki Judai and Marufuji Sho, immediately turned his gaze towards the window.

He began to think about his next plan.

According to the plot in the original work, the graduating Marufuji Ryo was going to have a fateful duel with the grown-up Yuki Judai. In the duel, both sides would summon their own ace monsters - [CyberTerminator Dragon] & [Elemental Hero·Flash Flame Wingman], and then rely on the effect of [Decisive Battle Fusion] to stack each other's attack power. In the end, their LPs would be reduced to zero at the same time, resulting in a draw, which was a relatively satisfactory ending.

However, after replacing the role of Yuki Judai with Yusei, the process of this duel and the results that will be achieved will obviously undergo extremely obvious changes.

While Yusei and Yuki Judai grew up, Caesar, the former No. 1, also did not stop but grew accordingly.

Today's Caesar has the invincible [Cyber ​​Dragon·Infinity] and a trap buster like [Red Restart] in his hand. Except for the fact that he has not yet turned evil and has not yet obtained the card of the Cyber ​​Flow, in other aspects, he is completely incomparable to the original.

"The last and strongest Cyber ​​Dragon...?"

Facing the Cyber ​​Dragon at almost its prime, Yusei could no longer maintain his usual composure.

After all, in terms of explosive power, the Cyber ​​Dragon has extremely strong output capabilities that are not inferior to heroes.

If you are not careful, there is a risk of capsizing in the ditch.

……

"Hey! Did you hear that? Caesar personally named that Osiris Red Yusei as his opponent!!!"

"Huh? What? You're choosing your opponent from the last-place Osiris Red. This kind of thing... is unheard of!"

"Idiot! Didn't you listen carefully to what I said? This Red is not that Red... Caesar's opponent is the Yusei who defeated the Three Phantom Demons!"

“Uh… I see… After I heard Hong, I subconsciously…”

"Yeah, I understand... I felt the same way at first..."

“…Damn it! Why isn’t it me? Caesar’s opponent should be me, Master Manjome, right? Why is it that Yusei guy again?!”

"Tsk tsk... The supernova who solved the Phantom Demon Rebellion is facing off against Caesar, the emperor of the Duel Academy... This duel looks like it's going to be very interesting!"

“Hehehehe…Oh Moshiroi~~~!!!”

……

The news that third-year Marufuji Ryo personally nominated first-year Yusei as his opponent quickly spread among the students as gossip.

Regarding the confrontation between these two people, everyone was interested in it.

The No. 1 student in the third grade versus the supernova in the first grade... What kind of wonderful results will the collision between these two produce?

With this thought in mind, everyone began to look forward to the upcoming graduation duel.

Then, in this atmosphere, time passed, and Caesar Ryo's graduation duel began in the dedicated venue of the Duel Academy.

Osiris Red, Apollo Yellow, Obelisk Blue...

Principal Samejima, Professor Chronos, Teacher Ayukawa Emi, Professor Kabayama...

Traveling around the city for ten generations, the sky is fragrant and the sky is clear. Fubuki Tenjoin, Sky Misawa, Sho Marufuji...

Under the gazes of countless people, Youxing and Caesar...the two opposing sides, after making full preparations, stood at the two ends of the duel arena, presenting a situation of confrontation from a distance.

"Finally, this moment has arrived."

"Well, a hero, and a Cyber ​​Dragon... In a sense, this can be considered a top battle, right?"

“Humph! This guy Caesar… actually bypassed me, Master Manjome, and went straight to compete with Yusei! This is unforgivable! Yusei, defeat that guy for me!”

"Uh, is it my illusion? I feel like...the expressions of these two people are a little serious?"

"No, it's not your illusion... To be honest, I think so too..."

"It seems...the two of them also have their own ideas about this duel!"

Looking at the situation on the field and the two people staring at each other in silence on the duel field, the people in the audience couldn't help but express their own sighs.

Except for Wanzhangmu, who still had strong opinions about Caesar's personal choice, almost everyone else was holding their breath waiting for the duel to begin.

During this period of time, both Youxing and Caesar Liang have made their own progress.

And today is the best time to verify these results.

Under the witness of so many eyes, this graduation duel will, in a sense, determine the strongest duelist in this dueling academy.

Unlike Yuki Judai, Asuka and others who were spectators, Yusei and Marufuji Ryo, as the duelists, were obviously under much greater pressure.

"...Caesar, let's go all out! After today, there may never be such a good opportunity again!" Youxing said to Marufuji Ryo opposite him.

Regardless of winning or losing, after this duel, the man named Caesar will step onto the big stage of professional dueling and leave the duel academy where he has stayed for three years.

It may be difficult for the two of them to have too much interaction anymore.

"Ah! Yuxing...I thought so too, just use all your strength!" Caesar nodded solemnly and seriously, then raised his arm and unfolded his duel disk.

Seeing this, Youxing also did the same thing.

Seeing this scene on the field, Professor Chronos, who was the referee, quickly stood up from his seat in the front row, picked up the microphone and announced the start of the duel: "... Dear students! I hereby declare... that the graduation model duel will now officially begin~ Here!"

"…Are both players ready?"

"Ah! Any time!"

"OK, I have no problem!"

"...Duel!"*2

(Marufuji Ryo LP: 4000)

(Youxing LP: 4000)

Just like that, as Professor Chronos finished speaking, the duel between Yumaru Fuji Ryo and Yusei officially began.

436 The fateful battle, the duel advances

"Attack first, or attack later?" The duel began, and Youxing asked Caesar, who was standing opposite him with his arms folded and silent.

“…It doesn’t matter on either side.”

Caesar shrugged his shoulders, his expression still calm.

He didn't seem to care much about whether to attack first or last.

It seems that the rule that the electronic dragon has the advantage when attacking from behind does not apply to him.

"Then I'll take the initiative... My turn, draw a card!"

Yusei, who took the initiative, then drew a card from his deck.

Then, under the gazes of everyone, he slapped the drawn card on the duel disk: "Activate the magic card [E-Emergency Call]. According to the effect of this card, I choose an [Elemental Hero] monster from the deck. I choose - [Elemental Hero Skyman]."

The indicator light on the duel disk flashed for a while, and then a card popped out automatically.

However, Yusei, who took the card, did not rush to summon the monster in his hand. Instead, he took out another card from his hand and inserted it into the back field of the Duel Disk to activate it: "... Next, I activate the magic card [Hero Arrival]. The effect of this card is - when there are no face-up monsters on the field, pay half of your basic points to activate. Special Summon 1 "Elemental Hero" monster of level 4 or less from your deck."

"I choose to special summon [Elemental Hero: Shadow Mist Lady] from the deck."

(Youxing LP: 4000 → 2000)

In exchange for half of his own life points, Yusei successfully activated the magic card in his hand.

The black fog was filled, and a female hero wearing slim black armor, with one hand on her waist, descended onto the duel field as Yusei's voice fell.
