Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

542 Destined

"…Hey! Judai, Yusei…are you guys there? I'm Misawa! I'm coming over to you now!!!"

While everyone was chatting around the campfire, the previously forgotten Misawa Daichi also came here following their trail.

Like Jianshan, he didn't like staying in the Sun God Yellow Hot Spring Hotel. After resigning to the person in charge, Professor Karayama, he went straight to the river where Osiris Red was camping, despite the other party's reluctance.

Having been dissed by Ed before, he also realized that his presence seems to be a little weak recently.

"Um... Misawa? Have you come out of the hot spring hotel?"

While biting into the hamburger that Muto Sugoroku brought over, Yusei took the initiative to talk to Misawa Daichi who was walking up to them.

“…Yes! That’s right.”

With a warm smile on his face, Misawa Daichi told everyone the purpose of his visit: "...After careful consideration, I still feel that it would be happier to be with my childhood friends on the school trip!"

"Childhood friends? So you two are the same age?" Listening to Misawa Daichi's explanation, Muto Sugoroku on the side couldn't help but make a puzzled sound.

Looking at Misawa Daichi's face full of maturity, and then looking at Yusei and Yuki Judai whose painting styles were superior, Muto Sugoroku couldn't help but cover his mouth, trying hard to suppress the smile in his heart.

Hehe...this guy named Misawa looks a bit mature!

"Huh... what a laid-back bunch of guys."

Ed, who was alone in his private RV, also heard the conversation.

After taking a quick glance at Mizawa who had come here, she reached out and closed the curtains inside the RV, completely isolating herself from the outside world.

……

[【.

"Ahh~~~ If we don't find a way to please Master Misaki, we will be like Hyomaru and Raimaru, and our royal abilities will be taken away from us, and we will become ordinary people!"

"…That's why we're out looking for Yugi Judai, right?"

"And that guy named Yusei is the same... If we defeat one of these two, I'm sure that Misaki-sama's impression of us will be greatly improved, right?"

"That's true...but do you know what they look like?"

"Uh... I thought you knew..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly know!"

"..."

"..."

Not far from where Youxing and his friends were camping, two young men, one fat and one thin, appeared nearby.

One of them had long red hair that burned like flames, while the other had a reassuringly sturdy body like a clay man.

They just kept talking about things that ordinary people couldn't understand, and walked unconsciously towards the place where the person they were looking for was.

"How can you do this! Our future is so bleak! Asshole! I don't want to do this anymore!"

Unable to see the dawn of the future, nor to sense the existence of hope, the red-haired man with a slightly bad temper, his heart shrouded in despair and confusion, could not help but squat down with his head in his hands and began to complain by the river.

"Hey! You bastard..."

Seeing his companions giving up on themselves and playing badly, the sturdy man was about to say something when a slightly brisk voice of curiosity suddenly echoed in their ears.

"Hey! What are you doing here?"

Seeing the two strangers who appeared nearby and obviously needed help, Yuki Judai, who had just returned from the bathroom and accidentally ran into the two of them, took the initiative to talk to them.

Why are you not sleeping so late at night and just standing here to enjoy the scenery?

"Huh? Didn't you see, kid? I fell down suddenly!"

Unable to find his goal, hunger and sleepiness surged into his heart. Feeling discouraged, the red-haired man started to play badly right where he was: "...I met a wise boss. I quit and am playing badly now!"

It will fail anyway.

Ahhh...it doesn't matter anymore.

With such thoughts in mind, the red-haired young man had obviously given up the idea of ​​continuing the search.

"Uh...I don't understand what you're talking about, but you two need help, right?"

Scratching his head, Yuki Judai continued to suggest, "By the way! Do you two want to come to our camp to rest for a while? We have extra burgers over there!"

"Nani? Camp? Rest?"

"……Hamburger?"

After listening to Yuki Judai's words, both of them froze at the same time.

Although their focuses are different, their ideas are surprisingly consistent.

After looking at each other and confirming each other's thoughts, they nodded quickly and accepted Yuki Judai's invitation: "...Ah! Kind-hearted boy! Take us there quickly! We can't wait (hi)!"

The contrast between the red-haired man's attitude before and after is a classic Sichuan Opera face-changing.

After hearing the future prospects described by Yuki Judai, he came alive instantly like a desert refugee who saw an oasis, and an extremely vigorous vitality burst out from deep within his body.

This vitality drove him to instantly get rid of his previous negative and pessimistic state, and he stood up suddenly from the ground.

Yujo Judai: “Oh…”

……

"Hey~~ Duel Academy's school trip?"

"...I see, so you are students of that famous Duel Academy! No wonder I thought that uniform looked familiar!"

Sitting next to the campfire, the two people who accepted the help of Yuki Judai were now enjoying a rare delicacy in the world (at least for them now, hamburgers were so delicious).

While chatting, after hearing about the identities of Yuki Judai and the others, the two couldn't help but let out a burst of emotion.

"Hmm? Uncle, do you guys also know about the Duel Academy?"

Looking at the two people brought back by Yucheng Judai, Youxing, who surrounded them out of curiosity, couldn't help but ask this question.

"Uncle? Ahem...we are only in our twenties! We are just a little older than you!"

"Yes, yes! We are still young! We are not old enough to be called uncle yet!"

As if stimulated by Youxing's address, the two stopped eating at the same time, and then expressed their protest in unison.

"Uh... sorry sorry, I'm used to it."

Youxing, who had just finished fighting Ice Ball and Thunder Ball, subconsciously treated the two people in front of him who were of the same age as them as peers, and casually called them uncles.

After realizing the problem, he quickly waved his hand to express his apologies.

Well... not an uncle, more of a young man who looks a little older.

"Ahem... Speaking of the Duel Academy, that's the place we all longed to go to!"

After forcibly changing the topic, a look of reminiscence appeared on the red-haired young man's face.

As if he was reminiscing about the past, he continued in a self-deprecating tone: "...Unfortunately, we failed the first entrance examination..."

"Hehehe~~~ It really makes me feel nostalgic! We didn't think it was a big deal before we went there, but after trying it ourselves, we found that the competition for admission to Duel Academy is really fierce!"

The sturdy man also took up the topic from the red-haired young man and expressed his own feelings: "It was indeed a very difficult thing for us at that time to compete with outstanding duelists from all over the country!"

"At that time? Isn't it difficult now?" Noticing the information contained in the two people's words, Youxing continued to ask.

"Well... I guess so..." After giving a noncommittal answer, the two continued to eat the burgers in their hands.

"Well, if that's the case..."

After listening to the two's words, Muto Sugoroku looked around at the students wearing the Duel Academy uniforms and said with a smile: "Everyone wearing the uniforms here has passed that difficult exam! Feel proud! You are all chosen duelists!"

"…The chosen duelist, huh?"

Hearing this special name coming from Mutou Sugoroku's mouth, the red-haired young man, with a fighting spirit ignited in his heart, immediately stuffed the rest of the hamburger into his mouth, then stood up and threw the outer packaging into the fire.

As the flames ignited in an instant, the red-haired man, whose face was full of fighting spirit, clenched his fists and suggested to Youxing and the others: "This is really interesting! Come and fight us!"

"A showdown?"

Misawa Daichi frowned when he heard the suggestion: "Let me tell you in advance, we are very strong. If you can't even pass the entrance exam, you will probably be defeated by us in an instant!"

"Humph! Don't treat us like fools! Weakness is a thing of the past. We are... totally different now!"

Still without the thought of retreating, after listening to Misawa's kind words of advice, the red-haired young man's fighting spirit became even stronger than before: "Hehehe~~ Speaking of which, if the elites of the Duel Academy are defeated by people like us, they might never be able to recover again!"

"you……"

"Let me be clear in advance. We are now considered to be among the most powerful duelists in Tongshiye City!"

Pointing at himself and then at the sturdy man still sitting next to him, the red-haired young man said arrogantly: "Let us return what we said just now to you! If we really fight, you will be defeated by us in an instant!"

"Oh? Are you so strong? Interesting... Come on, duel with me!" After listening to the two people's words, Yuki Judai, who was eager to duel with a strong man, immediately stood up with excitement.

After looking back and forth at the two people opposite him, an impatient look appeared on his face.

"Forget it, we are really strong."

Seeing that Yugi Judai seemed to want to challenge them, the sturdy man spoke up and expressed his thoughts.

As guests invited here, there is really no need for them to bully these students who have not yet graduated.

"How do you know if you don't try? This is so exciting! Come on, come on!!!" With no intention of giving up, Yuki Judai once again proposed the idea of ​​a duel.

"Interesting guy... Since you said so, I'll come and meet you!"

Infected by Yujo Judai's emotions, the sturdy man who originally had no intention of fighting also curled his lips and stood up: "Let me make it clear first, I won't let you win, okay?"

“…No need to hold back!” Patting his chest, Yuujo Judai said with a smile: “In a duel, you have to go all out!”

……

Just like that, at the initiative of Yuki Judai, the duel between the sturdy man and him began on the side of the red-haired young man.

The two men wearing duel disks followed the crowd, found a spacious place away from the crowd, and began to prepare for the duel.

"Iwamaru, it's my turn next time!"

The red-haired young man, standing behind the sturdy man with his arms folded, felt that his role was snatched away and made an urging sound.

"Yes, I understand, Enmaru."

Nodding to the red-haired young man named "Enmaru", the sturdy man named "Iwamaru" reached out and placed his deck on the duel disk.

Having made preparations, he immediately looked in the direction of Yuki Judai.

"Hey? Iwamaru and Enmaru, huh? Your names are so similar! They sound so cool!" After learning their names from their conversation, Yuki Judai couldn't help but make a teasing sound.

Needless to say, at this time, Youxing and the others also stood beside Yuki Judai, acting as spectators.

"Speaking of which..."

Ready for the duel, Iwamaru raised his head and looked towards where Yuki Judai was. He then asked curiously, "Young man, we don't even know your name yet?"

"……me?"

After a slight pause, Yuujo Judai then smiled and introduced himself: "My name is Yuujo Judai!"

Enmaru: “…What!?”

Iwamaru: "Yujo Judai?!"

Listening to Yuki Judai's self-introduction, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned at the same time.

Yan Wan, who was standing by, even showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Planting flowers with care may not make them bloom, but planting willows without care may make them grow into shade trees…

Just when the two people who were carrying out Saiou Misushi's orders were feeling frustrated because they couldn't find Yuki Judai and Yusei and the others, Yuki Judai took the initiative to find them.

Moreover, they were invited to the camp even though they were in the enemy camp.

Without knowing each other's identities, the two of them unexpectedly started a duel of sparring...

Is this surprising coincidence destined in some sense?
