Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

After reporting the recent situation to the acting principal, Yui Amamiya, they left Kaiba Company and immediately took the scheduled ferry to return to Duel Academy.

Unexpected cosmic journeys, the existence of new space, the confrontation between the light of destruction and the darkness of the universe, alien visitors, extraterritorial demons, and duels with intelligent creatures from other worlds...

Thinking back on the wonderful experiences of the past few days, both of them smiled knowingly.

Following the guidance of fate and being entrusted with hope, the two of them, as the vanguards fighting against the light of destruction, will also usher in a turning point in their lives in the coming time.

As for the Duel Academy, the situation is not very peaceful at the moment.

As the Light of Destruction that took Saiou as its host eroded this place, an inexplicable atmosphere of tension began to spread in the Duel Academy.

"Hey~~~What is that?"

"Manjome...wasn't this guy wearing a black windbreaker before? Why did he change to a white one this time?"

"Hmm...it must have turned white after washing!"

"Hiss~~~ Hearing what you said, how dirty it must have been before! Isn't this guy too fierce?"

“…Hehehehehahahahahahahaha!!!”

Wearing a pure white uniform and taking leisurely steps, Manjomu, who was strolling in the Duel Academy as if no one was around, soon became the focus of the crowd.

All kinds of ridicule and mockery were heard, and they all fell on the expressionless Wanzhangmu.

Among them, the students of Obelisk Blue were the most conspicuous.

These people who had met Manjōme once in the past or had been his younger brothers, immediately turned hostile and changed their attitudes after hearing that Manjōme had been demoted to Osiris Red, and now treated the Manjōme, whom they had revered in the past, as a topic of idle chat.

This is the group of people who are fence-sitters who can easily change their stance.

And such people are often found in every corner of life.

"Ah……"

Listening to the teasing voices of the people around him, Wanzhangmu stopped and said to them calmly: "If you are interested in this uniform, do you want to wear it too?"

“…No! No need!”

Those people who were mocking just now, after seeing Wanzhangmu's gaze locked on them, hurriedly fled.

Under the gaze that carried a strong and intimidating look, a feeling of fear instinctively emerged in their hearts.

This emotion drove their bodies to escape on their own.

The contrast between before and after fully illustrates what the self-cultivation of a supporting role means.

"Humph!"

Looking at these escaping clowns, Wanzhangmu raised his head and an extremely disdainful look appeared on his face.

Haha... a bunch of ignorant idiots!

He didn't even know something as obvious as that one day everything in this Duel Academy would be dyed white!

The more you resist now, the more pious you will be then.

I will look forward to your humble attitude of submitting to the guidance of the light!

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

……

...

"Are you coming, Ed?"

In the pure white room, Saiou Takuma, the host of the Light of Destruction, sat on the round table in the middle of the room, washing the tarot cards used for divination.

Noticing the footsteps behind him, he instinctively opened his mouth to confirm.

"Well, I'm here."

In response to Saiou's call, a slightly cold female voice came out.

Ed Phoenix, dressed in a white silk bubble shirt, a knee-length black skirt, and a pair of round-toed black leather shoes, appeared at the door of the room as the voice was heard.

She walked up behind King Zhai, then cast her gaze onto the round table in front of her, looking at the multiple tarot cards scattered on the table.

"Speaking of which... I went to the Duel Academy a while ago. After touring the place, I became a little interested in it."

"You went to Duel Academy?"

Noticing the message contained in Saiou's words, Ed's eyebrows raised slightly.

Is there any need to go to a place where weak people gather?

"Well, in that academy..."

The prince who was chatting with Ed had a strange light in his eyes that made it impossible to see his thoughts: "...something happened that I didn't expect...haha, this new feeling is quite wonderful!"

"There is actually... something you can't predict?"

As if he had heard something incomprehensible, there was obvious surprise in Ed's words.

"What's wrong, Ed? You look so surprised."

"Well... I'm really surprised. This is the first time I've heard you retract your prediction."

"It's not a withdrawal..." With his back to Ed and his lavender eyes closed, Sai Wang shook his head slightly and said, "It's that someone has surpassed the fate I predicted!"

Logically speaking, Yuki Judai, who was defeated by Ai, should have become an apostle of Saiou like Manjome under the influence of the light of destruction.

However, Saiou was unable to feel the connection between them, nor could he feel the reality of controlling Yujo Judai.

Although the specific circumstances are unknown, it is obvious... Yuki Judai has escaped from the control of the Light of Destruction and surpassed his prophecy!

This seemingly ridiculous and even absurd inference is actually the most realistic one in line with the current situation.

"Beyond fate? What exactly is that...?"

Ed frowned, holding his chin as if thinking, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

Is there really such a person in the Duel Academy that she swept away so easily?

Whether it is Caesar Ryo or Yuki Judai... these duelists have all been defeated by me. Apart from them, is there anyone else who needs special attention?

"If you're interested, go back to Duel Academy and take a look." Without directly answering Ed's question, Sai Wang left her room for imagination.

If you want to know the answer, go and see it with your own eyes.

"Heh... There's no need to go back to that kind of place anymore."

With a sneer, Ed seemed to be uninterested in this. After saying this, he turned around and left.

However, as she said this, she couldn't help but recall some events in the past on her way out.

Many years ago, she was just a helpless girl who was grieving the sudden death of her father, unable to do anything and unable to find the murderer to take revenge.

It was the young Saiou Takuma who appeared beside her at that time and guided her as she fell into a vortex of confusion and revenge.

"…Ed, this unspeakable sadness is what we call fate."

These were the first words spoken by Saiou when he came to Ed on a rainy day.

Opening the black umbrella in his hand to help Ed block the raindrops falling from the sky, the mysterious Saiou, who was full of mystery at a young age, came to Ed's side and took the initiative to talk to the girl.

He appreciated Ed's talent and realized his mission.

"...Destiny? Who are you?" Young Ed instinctively asked the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Ed instinctively showed a wary reaction to this stranger who suddenly appeared beside him.

"My name is Saiou Takuma, Ed...you have extraordinary talents, let me guide your destiny." With a sad expression on his face, Saiou said these words of empathy.

He did not mind Ed's defensive posture. Instead, he explained his purpose in the rain while shedding tears.

And after that, just as Saiou said, Ed Phoenix, who entered the world of duels, quickly emerged, fully demonstrated his talents, and became active on the big stage of professional duels as a dark horse.

Even Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters, was impressed by Ed's figure and called him the fourth strongest duelist he had ever seen...

(PS: The top three are Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba, and Katsuya Jonouchi.)

"The fate that the Saiou pointed out is absolute. Logically speaking, there is absolutely no existence that can surpass it..."

Thinking about Saiou's words, Ed paused and began to speculate: "Who is this guy who can speak the language that transcends fate?"

ding ding ding-

Just as Ed was thinking, the ringing sound from her cell phone suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"?"

Feeling a little confused, she pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear: "Hello, this is Ed Phoenix."

"Oh oh oh oh! It's really Lord Ed! I finally found your phone number!" From the other end of the line came Coach Napoleon's voice full of personal characteristics.

He was so excited that he couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh after hearing Ed's slightly cold self-introduction.

"…If nothing else, I'll hang up."

He frowned, thinking back to the ugly man who had intended to take advantage of his mustache image, and instinctively felt repulsive.

"Ah! Wait wait wait...!!!" Seeing that Ed was about to hang up, Coach Napoleon hurriedly shouted out his purpose in panic: "There is something I want to discuss with you. Actually, it's like this...￥＃@＆%￥..."

In this way, Coach Napoleon explained the current situation of the Duel Academy in great detail.

The acting principal who seemed to be indifferent and let them argue with each other,

There are actually two heroes. In addition to Yuki Judai who was defeated by Ed before, there is also Yusei who is even more powerful.

Manjomu is not in normal condition, and now the only opponent that Osiris Red can fight is the guest Asuka Tenjouin. Now is a good opportunity to sweep her away in one go and improve the academy's evaluation!

Oh, oh, oh~~~~Right now is the moment when we urgently need a powerful duelist like Lord Ed to come to our aid!!!

"What do these things have to do with me? If you want to target that Osiris Red Dormitory, why don't you just go there yourself? I am free to duel with whoever I want, right? Why do I need your permission?"

She was indeed somewhat interested in what Coach Napoleon said, but... in fact, she could still strive for some additional conditions at the moment.

"Ahhh...wait!!! Lord Ed, I heard that you are looking for the enemy who killed your father, right? I know the boss of the dark world and have some connections in this area. If you help me this time, I can also help you get some information in this regard!"

"…Are you serious?"

"Really! It's more real than real gold! You have to believe me!"

Looks like there's hope?

Sensing the intentional emotion contained in Ed's words, Coach Napoleon quickly responded.

"..."

Yusei, different from Yujo Judai...another hero.

And maybe there will be a chance to find the murderer of my father.

Ed, who was originally planning to refuse, changed his mind after patiently listening to Coach Napoleon's explanation.

Maybe it's a long shot, or maybe it's just wishful thinking, but it's indeed a rare opportunity.

491 Hero's Oath (5K)

"What? This sign at the entrance of the dormitory..."

"Emm...has this thing been here before?"

"Let me see... It says - [Tomorrow morning this dormitory will have a duel with the representatives of the academy. If you lose, stop talking nonsense and directly abolish the Osiris Red Dormitory!]... Huh? Abolish the dormitory?"

After Coach Napoleon, through great efforts and coaxing, finally got Ed Phoenix's agreement to assist in his plan, he was so happy that he immediately put up a wooden sign with a notice in front of the Osiris Red Dormitory under the cover of night.

The gist of the above content is that the Osiris Red Dormitory must send someone to duel with the school representative.

If the Red Dormitory loses, then the dormitory will be demolished without any room for bargaining.

If you win, there is no explanation.

“Ha! Abolish it? Soon this academy… this world will become all white. Compared to that, what this dormitory will become is totally irrelevant! Hahahahahahaha…!!!”

Wanzhangmu, dressed in white, did not panic after seeing the content of the announcement. Instead, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him and was indifferent.

He spread out his hands, turned around and left, returning to his room.

That posture clearly showed that he had kept himself out of it and had no intention of getting involved in the incident.

"Manjomu, what the hell are you talking about? You are a member of Osiris Red! Aren't you worried about your future situation?"
