Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

Therefore, although they are both heroes, her thoughts are fundamentally different from those of Yusei and Yuki Judai.

If she had to say, compared to Yuki Judai, who brings warmth and enthusiasm to people like the sun, she loves Phoenix and may be more inclined to be a dark hero.

Wandering planets, on the other hand, are somewhere in between, in the gap between light and darkness, displaying chaotic attributes.

……

"Uh... Yusei, Manjome, Sho... why are you more anxious than me?"

"I don't want to admit it... but even that Caesar Ryo is no match for Ed. Judai, do you think you have a chance of winning?"

"Well, how should I put it? For me, it doesn't matter whether I win or lose, as long as I have a happy duel."

"Judai, you..."

After hearing Ed's challenge, everyone gathered in the luxurious room to discuss the next strategy.

Although Manjōme himself complained something like "Why are we holding a meeting in my room about Judai?", this faint voice of resistance was quickly drowned out by the voices of the crowd and failed to cause any waves.

As for the person involved, Judai Yuki, after seeing everyone's behavior, he couldn't help scratching his head and expressed the above thoughts.

For him, losing is not a shameful thing.

Rather, the failure in the duel could arouse his inner fighting spirit and make him stronger than before.

To be honest, this should be a good thing!

"Judai, you... you really don't have any sense of tension at all!"

Looking at Yuki Judai who was lying on the luxurious bed in his room, Manjome raised his arm helplessly and pointed to the direction of the window: "Do you see the lighthouse over there? Maybe Ed is there preparing to defeat you right now!"

"Ahahaha... How is that possible? It's late at night! Besides, the odds of winning don't really matter, right? Like I said just now, I just want to enjoy the joy of the duel~"

"……coming."

Just as Yujo Judai was waving his hands and teasing Manjome, Yusei beside him said with certainty in a deep voice: "Just like Manjome said, Ed... is here."

Just as Stand users are attracted to each other, Youxing at this time also learned from the elves about the arrival of Ed and the "Light of Destruction" she brought.

"What... is this true???"

After hearing Yusei's serious speech, Yujo Judai was stunned for a moment, then he stood up from the bed, with an excited look on his face. He came to the window and looked at the lighthouse in the distance: "Yusei, are you saying... Ed is also looking forward to this battle between heroes like me, so she came here early in the evening?"

"Looking forward to it? Well... sort of."

Shrugging his shoulders, Yusei looked at Yuki Judai who stood up excitedly, and unable to bear exposing this cruel reality, he gave a noncommittal answer.

He could probably guess that Ed didn't come here with any expectations.

In fact, she may just be following the so-called guidance of fate to defeat Yuki Judai, who is a "stepping stone" on the road to progress.

Moreover, Youxing had an inexplicable feeling that he would most likely have a head-on battle with Ed in the near future, with their respective beliefs at stake...

"Right now, he should be at the port... Judai, are you planning on going over there?"

Following the guidance of the elves, Youxing pointed to the location of Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon, and asked Yuki Judai.

"Need I say more? They've come all the way here, so of course we have to go and greet them!... What are we waiting for! Let's go over and take a look!"

“Hey, hey, hey… Big Brother, slow down… Don’t drag me down!”

Upon hearing this, Yuki Judai could no longer contain his excitement, and immediately pulled his younger brother Marufuji Sho and ran towards the port.

Manjomu and Youxing, who were left behind, looked at each other, shook their heads, and followed them.

……

"Ah! It's Ed Phoenix!"

"Is this true... She actually... actually showed up at this time..."

"Earplugs, goggles, parachute... Could it be that she flew directly from the sky? No... Isn't that a bit too brave?"

Under the guidance of fate, the three heroes gathered together.

Shortly after Ed arrived in front of Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon by parachute, the figures of Yuki Judai and others who were closer also appeared here quickly.

Looking at Ed dressed in sportswear, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

As expected... just like President Kaiba can block bullets with a suitcase and cut steel bars with cards, the physical fitness of the card players cannot be measured by common sense!

Under this inhuman standard, if you can't knock down a black bear with your bare hands, you don't seem to be able to call yourself a qualified card player...

"Judai, long time no see."

She took off her protective gear, revealing her snow-white and slender neck to everyone. The girl, with her silver hair tied into two ponytails and wearing casual clothes, politely greeted Yuki Judai who came over.

This time, she did not choose to disguise her personality, nor did she use honorifics to act well-behaved. She just said her greetings calmly.

"Ed... don't you use honorifics when speaking to your seniors?"

Before Yujo Judai could speak, his younger brother Marufuji Sho started to make trouble before him.

Faced with this girl who defeated his biological brother Marufuji Ryo, Marufuji Sho naturally felt a little resentful.

On one hand there is fear, and on the other there is a little bit of resentment.

Even someone like him has realized that when they first met, Ed was just pretending to be good and did not reveal his true character to everyone.

"Ah……"

Glancing at the blue-haired dwarf in front of him with the corner of his eye, Ed snorted with a hint of sarcasm.

I don't know whether she felt disdain for these words of bullying or she simply didn't take a clown like Marufuji Sho seriously.

"Calm down, Sho!"

Patting Maruto Sho on the shoulder and motioning him to stand behind him, Yuki Judai, his elder brother, immediately stepped forward and walked in front of Ed, asking, "Ed... did you come here specially to duel with me?"

"...That's right."

Putting aside her previous contemptuous attitude, the girl crossed her arms and looked in the direction of Yuujo Judai: "Yuujo Judai, as I announced before, I came here specifically to compete with you who also holds a hero deck."

"Ah! Wait a minute, you two... Before that, I have a suggestion!"

Looking at Yuki Judai and Ed Phoenix who were in the middle of a conversation, Coach Napoleon, whose eyes were rolling around uncontrollably, immediately found the right opportunity to interrupt and said, "Ed Phoenix... I have a good idea! How about this? How about betting on the existence of the Osiris Red Dormitory in this duel? If Yuki Judai loses, then we can just cancel the last-place Osiris Red~ In this way, in order to avoid having his dormitory demolished, he will definitely fight with all his strength, right?"

Professor Chronos: "...Ah? Not that cruel, right?"

If the dormitories were demolished, where would all those people go? We couldn't just expel them all, right?

Even if the current acting principal doesn’t care, when Principal Samejima comes back and finds out about this, won’t he skin them both alive...?

"Heh... If you want to use my duel, then become my sponsor first."

For the first time, Ed gave his positive answer to both of them.

Looking at this dirty adult who was planning to use her, she spoke cold and realistic words in a calm tone.

"Like...sponsor?" Coach Napoleon's heart skipped a beat when he heard this word, and a bad look appeared on his face.

"Yes, sponsors... But with your salary, this is impossible."

With a chuckle, Ed shook his head at Coach Napoleon, then turned his back to everyone and walked towards the Obelisk Blue Dormitory.

Originally according to the rules of Duel Academy, students like Ed who entered from outside could only be assigned to the Sun God Yellow Dormitory at most, no matter how outstanding they were.

However, because she was a girl and the Sun God Huang Quan was a man, under the arrangement of Tiangong Jie, Ed made an exception and entered the Obelisk Blue Girls' Dormitory and had her own luxurious room.

"Mmmmm...it would be great if I had money..."

Coach Napoleon bit his handkerchief with a look of regret on his face. He had never hated his poverty as much as he did now.

Damn it! If I had money, it would be so great! I wouldn’t have to endure this humiliation ahh ...

"There's nothing we can do about it, Coach Napoleon... Just give up this unrealistic plan! There's nothing we can do about it!"

Looking at Coach Napoleon standing there helplessly and furiously, Professor Chronos could not help but shrug his shoulders and let out a helpless sigh.

"Yujo Judai, I'll be waiting for you at the duel arena tomorrow morning, but... there can't be any other spectators besides you and your companions."

Without looking in the direction of the crowd, Ed turned around and walked to the other side of the road. At the same time, she told the next arrangements from her mouth.

Yusei: "...A match without spectators? You don't want others to see it?"

"Well, after all, this duel doesn't do me any good."

After slightly criticizing Youxing for saying this, Ed explained calmly, "Professional duelists can't just show off their skills casually... If you're not careful, your opponent might prepare for you in advance, and then you'll be in a passive situation in the duel."

One of the reasons why Caesar was defeated was that he did not think about it in this aspect and did not consider the reality that his tactics had been seen through by Ed.

Not everyone would be so stupid as to stand there and withstand the defense-piercing attack of the [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon].

"Ah! This duel... As a hero user who is also using a hero deck, I can't lose..."

Clenching his right fist tightly, Yuujou shouted from the bottom of his heart towards the girl's back: "For me, the hero deck is everything to me!"

"Everything about you? Hehehe..."

As if he had heard something funny, Ed stopped and glanced at Yuki Judai from the corner of his eye: "I hope you haven't forgotten what I said today, Yuki Judai!"

458 Double Fusion

With all kinds of thoughts entangled in my mind, time passed by quietly without me noticing.

Soon, it was time for the final battle that Ed Phoenix and Yuki Judai had agreed upon.

In the dedicated venue of the Duel Academy, the two people who arrived here in advance and had already made preparations stood on the left and right sides of the duel arena respectively.

As Ed said before, in order to ensure that the tactics of professional duelists are not widely spread, the only spectators watching this duel, apart from Yusei and his friends who rushed to the port last night, and Asuka who came here temporarily after hearing the news, were Professor Kunonos and Coach Napoleon who served as referees and witnesses.

Therefore, this duel can be said to be more private and not well known.

"Hmm! Now that both parties are ready, I hereby declare... the duel between Ed Phoenix and Yuki Judai will now officially begin!"

Seeing that both sides were ready, Coach Napoleon, who was sitting in the front row of the audience with Professor Chronos and holding the microphone, announced the start of the duel.

Professor Chronos, who was staring at the figure of Yujo Judai on the stage, showed a completely different attitude from Coach Napoleon.

As if he was talking to himself, he whispered words of encouragement: "Come on... Yuki Judai..."

Professor Chronos actually has quite complicated feelings towards Yuki Judai, who was once a thorn in his side.

During this year or so, through constant contact with Yuki Judai, he actually realized his previous mistakes and realized that Yuki Judai was not the bad student with no ambition as he had imagined.

In fact, Yuki Judai, who has a positive and optimistic personality, can always bring inspiring emotions to the people around him.

It is thanks to the existence of people like Judai and Yusei that Osiris Red, who had always been the last in the league, can continue to appear in the eyes of everyone and constantly demonstrate his presence that cannot be ignored.

……

"...Please, my heroes!"

He placed his left arm with the Duel Disk across his chest, quietly feeling the bond between himself and the deck. With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Yuki Judai seemed to be cheering himself up. He spoke prayer-like words to his deck without paying attention to anyone else.

The intentions of the duelists are connected to the cards.

As long as he silently keeps his beliefs in his heart, the deck will respond to his call and put the key to reversing the status quo into his hands.

"Then let's begin. Let's begin this destiny that has already been determined."

At the same time, Ed, who was standing opposite Yuki Judai, slowly put the duel disk on his left arm and prepared for the duel.

She still had no expression on her face, and in a flat tone without any ups and downs, she spoke about something similar to "fate" as last time.

"Oh? Has Ed already started? Heh... although we already know the result..."

On the other side, in the pure white room, Saiou, who was sitting in front of the table, playing with the tarot cards in his hand, also began to emit a lavender light in his eyes.

Through the information transmitted by the guards at the duel arena who acted as thieves, Saiou was able to grasp the actual situation of the duel synchronously even from a long distance.

After learning that the duel between the two had already begun, he couldn't help but smile as he felt that his plan worked: "Hahaha... In this way, Yuki Judai will also become a member of our Society of Light, and with this opportunity, Ed Phoenix will also reach a higher level..."

"The best of both worlds. Everything went as smoothly as I expected... hehehehehahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

……

"Yoshi! Just take the initiative!"

The perspective returns to Duel Academy. Just when Yuki Judai was planning to strike while the iron was hot and take advantage of the uncontrollable excitement in his chest to take the initiative, the figure of Winged Kuritama suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Curi Curry~~~"
