Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

At this moment, as if noticing the figure of Yuki Judai, a violent reaction suddenly occurred inside the petri dish behind Professor Cobra.

After absorbing a large amount of duel energy, a certain creature that had now gotten rid of its weak state and gradually condensed into a terrifying entity suddenly opened its huge single eye, and while staring at Yuki Judai, it uttered a series of dreamy calls from its mouth.

"I saw it... I saw it... Yugi Judai, the one I love so much!"

"I'll be able to come to you soon..."

This female voice, which contained complex emotions such as nostalgia, resentment, deep love, entanglement, confusion, jealousy, etc., echoed in Yuki Judai's mind across a long distance in an unreasonable way.

"What's going on? What exactly is this feeling..."

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure suddenly flashed through his mind. Hearing the mumbling in his sleep, Judai Yuki suddenly felt as if his head was about to split open. He half-knelt down with a look of pain on his face.

What exactly is this calling voice...?

Why, why does she know my name?

Why...why do I miss this voice so much even though I don't know this person?

What exactly is going on?

"...Judai, are you okay?!"

Seeing Yuki Judai, who was walking beside him, suddenly kneel on one knee, John quickly moved closer to him and helped Yuki Judai up from the ground.

Looking at Yuki Judai who was covering his head with a look of pain on his face, John couldn't help but frown and looked worried.

"Ah, I'm fine, my head just hurts a little bit."

"Oh? Is that so?"

After recovering from the abnormal state just now, Yuki Judai waved his hand and informed John of his condition.

The sound came quickly and went away quickly.

In just a moment, her voice disappeared from his mind.

Although Yuki Judai had many doubts about this, he could not do anything about it and could only put it aside for the time being.

……

"...This place is like a real jungle."

On the other side, the team formed by Jim and Jianshan was also walking in the dense forest path without the protection of lights.

As the lights above faded, some predators that were only active at night woke up at this time, lurking in the depths of the dense forest, waiting for their prey to approach them.

Jim observed the situation around him and sensed danger from the environment. He couldn't help but adjust his cowboy hat and made such an exclamation.

Now it looks like this, there is finally a sense of adventure in it.

Even the crocodile Kallen on his back, out of wild instinct, began to try to struggle with his body.

"What's wrong? Senior Jim? Is Kallen feeling unwell?"

Looking at the crocodile struggling behind Jim, Jianshan, who had been attacked by her before and still felt a little scared of her, couldn't help but make a curious sound from his mouth.

Is this crocodile going crazy again? No way!

"...No, she wants to fight."

Jim raised his finger and shook it, and explained to the alert Jianshan: "Whenever she feels a danger, she will show this reaction."

"Personal danger? What danger could she be in?"

Can a creature as fierce as a crocodile also feel "personal danger"? Isn't it just her one-sided killing?

"Heh... Have you ever wondered why Professor Cobra would hide here? Jianshan."

Suddenly, Jim asked a question.

"Well..."

Jianshan scratched his head, who was not good at reasoning. He opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

Originally he wanted to say that Professor Cobra intended to eat alone and monopolize this scenic area, but seeing the murderous situation lurking around him, he just couldn't bring himself to say this wrong conclusion.

Beautiful scenery? Pleasant environment?

Well, only during the day when there is no danger.

Now that it's pitch black, let's just forget about it...

"That's because this is a place that outsiders can't easily approach, and there are wild guards."

Squinting his glasses, Jim smiled and answered the question raised by Jianshan.

Even if some people accidentally enter here, what awaits them will be natural barriers from nature.

"A wild guard, could it be...?"

"Karen, quiet."

A possibility came to his mind, and a look of realization flashed across Jianshan's face.

At this time, as Jim gently soothed the restless Kallen, the king of beasts, whose whole body was yellow and white with black stripes all over it, walked out from the depths of the jungle, and slowly appeared in front of the two of them with indescribable powerful majesty.

The King of Beasts let out a grunt of suppressed anger at the two humans who dared to invade his territory.

"Old... Tiger? Are you kidding me? Even such a terrifying guy was used by Professor Cobra?"

Feeling the power coming from the king of beasts, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Jianshan's forehead.

Although it is true that he is a dinosaur man, it does not mean that he can turn into a Tyrannosaurus Rex at this time!

"No, this guy shouldn't be controlled... It seems that the animals raised here are in a feral state~"

Unlike Jianshan's reaction, even at this critical moment, Jim's tone was relatively leisurely.

After analyzing the tiger's condition, he immediately stood in front of Jianshan and protected him behind him: "Jianshan, let me hold it back, you run quickly."

"Hmph! What nonsense are you talking about? How could I leave you here alone?" Without any hesitation, Jianshan immediately rejected the proposal to sell out his teammates.

"No, I'm not alone."

Jim pointed his thumb behind him and corrected Jianshan's words with a smile: "Karen is with me, she will protect me."

As he said this, Jim reached out and untied the belt that bound Kallen from behind, and used it as a whip, swinging it in front of the tiger, making a loud noise that hindered its steps.

Karin, who was freed from her restraints, came to Jim's side and faced the approaching enemy with him.

697 This is the smell of lying!

"See? I'm fine here."

While being alert to the sudden attack of the beast, Jim gave Jianshan behind him a reassuring look: "Dinosaur boy, Run!"

"Well……!"

As both were fierce beasts, the crocodile Kallen and the King of Beasts, who were evenly matched, temporarily stopped their actions out of caution and entered into a state of confrontation.

Seeing the confrontation in front of him, Jianshan gritted his teeth, quickly realized what was happening, and ran towards an open area on the other side.

Staying here any longer would only be a burden to Jim. Instead of standing there and watching, it would be better to get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"Then it's our turn next."

Watching Jianshan's figure gradually leaving, Jim adjusted his cowboy hat, and then looked at the beast on the opposite side with a provocative look: "Karen, now it's our time!"

"Roar!!!"

……

"… Um, who is it?"

At the moment when Jim and Kenzan were attacked by wild beasts and John and Yuki Judai were affected by the sudden whispering, something unexpected also happened to Yusei.

For safety reasons, he asked the two girls to stay with him. He used the light of his cell phone to spy on the wandering stars around him, when he suddenly felt a strange touch on his shoulder.

With a look of vigilance on his face, he subconsciously turned around and saw a long-haired man who appeared behind him at some point. He was wearing round-frame glasses on his nose, a half-smile on his face, and a purple windbreaker uniform of the Duel Academy over a black suit, representing his identity as a teacher.

At this moment, he was looking at the three students from the Duel Academy who appeared here with an indescribable look.

"Yeah, hello everyone."

The long-haired teacher took back his hand from Youxing's shoulder, and after a pause, an awkward but polite smile appeared on his face.

He took the initiative to greet the three people in front of him, Yuxing, Asuka, and Xiaoli.

"Uh... you are?"

"This uniform belongs to a teacher at Duel Academy, right?"

Looking at the long-haired teacher in front of him, Youxing couldn't remember his name for a moment, so he scratched his head and fell into a state of thought.

Following the principle of slacking off when possible and being lazy when possible, he basically only attended some required courses during his three years in the Duel Academy.

Therefore, You Xing could be said to have no significant impression of the teacher in front of him. He just vaguely remembered that he seemed to have appeared in the opening ceremony and he treated him as an NPC in the background.

"... Mr. Sato? Why are you here?"

Seeing that the topic had reached a deadlock, Asuka sighed and took the initiative to walk to Yusei's side.

Asuka, an excellent student, took the initiative to help Yuxing, who was slacking off, and Xiaoli, who had just entered school this year, and called out the teacher's name.

"Hey, Asuka is an excellent student indeed. She even remembered my name..."

The man whom Asuka called Sato-sensei sighed as if in self-pity, and held his forehead with his hand: "Of course I came to see you because I was worried about you. The new principal asked me to help you well."

"Everyone, follow me. I just found a road without danger."

"No, you're lying."

After judging it as fake at a glance, Yusei instantly changed his expression upon hearing this, and denied what Teacher Sato said.

"Oh?"

Subconsciously raising his eyebrows, Mr. Sato did not make any excuses, but instead assumed a listening posture.

"We came here for a special purpose, and this matter was directly assigned to us by the principal, without any teachers accompanying us..."

Squinting his eyes at the man who suddenly appeared beside them, Youxing pointed out the loophole in his words after a moment of silence: "Besides, the Duel Academy is now in a state of being overwhelmed by the large number of students who have fainted. The teachers simply don't have the energy to do anything else, let alone come to help."

He couldn't say anything absolutely about other things, but Yuxing undoubtedly had 100% trust in Miss Yui, who had helped him countless times and was like a mother to him.

Tiangongjie also had similar thoughts about him.

If this really happened, she would definitely tell Yusei instead of launching a surprise attack like she did now.

In a place that was close to the enemy's lair, a person suddenly appeared. This was no longer a surprise, but more like a shock...

"...Sato-sensei, who are you?"

At this point, Yusei shook his head slightly and changed his tone: "No, I should ask this, Mr. Sato, are you the assassin specially sent by Professor Cobra to stop us?"

"…Hehe, Yusei-san, what are you talking about?"

After calling out Yusei's name, Mr. Sato smiled and spread his hands: "No matter what, as a teacher, I can't be an assassin who attacks students, right?"

Li: "...You didn't deny your involvement with Professor Cobra."

Asuka: "Sato-sensei...you?!"

Youxing: "That's enough. There's no need to pretend anymore. Tell me your purpose."

Teacher Sato: “…”

Realizing the mistake in his words, Mr. Sato shrugged his shoulders slightly, tilted his head slightly to the side, and showed a thoughtful look.

After realizing that the three of them were wary of him, he gave up on pretending and simply admitted his intentions: "As expected, I'm not good at pretending. The students saw through me right away... Well, it's pretty much what you think."

"The door leading to the deeper part has been locked by a special device. If you want to continue and go deeper, the only way is to defeat me."

"For me, who has devoted everything to dueling but remains unknown, this place is my home."

At this point, Mr. Sato adjusted his glasses, raised his duel disk in front of him, and glanced at the three people: "What do you mean? All of you come together?"

"No, I'm enough on my own."

He shook his head slightly and waved to the two girls beside him to stand aside. Youxing also raised the duel disk on his arm, intending to resolve the current conflict in the way of a duelist.

Behind Mr. Sato is the road leading to Professor Cobra. As he said, his position is the gatekeeper of the deep level.
