Yu-Gi-Oh, the tenth generation of card-playing simulator!

"Remember, the next time we meet, the situation will be different." After looking at Judai deeply, Saiou turned around and walked in.

"Don't run!" Seeing that Saiou was not swallowed by the dark duel, Judai subconsciously wanted to catch up, but before he could take two steps forward, the large group of students in white uniforms around him suddenly fainted.

"Everyone..." Seeing the classmates in front of him, Judai could only stop himself: "With so many people...how long will it take to get them to the infirmary..."

"Meow~?" Just as Judai was worried, the Pharaoh, who had wandered here at some point, locked his eyes on the bright spot in front of Judai, pounced on it in a flash, and swallowed it into his stomach.

"Burp~?" After feeling that vague feeling again, the portly Pharaoh blinked his cat eyes in confusion.

"Who is it... This place is already small, how come someone wants to squeeze in?" A translucent figure floated up silently behind Judai, making a faint complaint.

"This voice is..." Suddenly hearing these familiar yet unfamiliar words, Judai suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"Judai-san, it's so fast that you can't even recognize my voice." The figure behind him said sadly.

"Ah... It's Master Daitokuji!" Judai hurriedly jumped to the side and looked back with his eyes covered: "Eh... Master, you... shouldn't you be dead..."

"I was supposed to become a Buddha," Daitokuji, a shadowy figure, recalled. "But then, I was swallowed by the Pharaoh. So now, the Pharaoh's stomach has become my home."

"Ah... can it be like this?" Judai tilted his head. "Then what kind of state should the teacher be in now?"

"Hmm... It seems like I'm neither alive nor dead..." Daitokuji in the shadow shook his fingers. In fact, he didn't know what his current condition was.

"Then why did you come out, teacher..." Judai asked curiously.

"It's like this, meow~" Daitokuji pointed at Pharaoh, who was still chasing flowers and plants. "I was supposed to be sleeping in there, but suddenly there was another guy in the house."

Talking about this, Daitokuji, who is always very well-mannered, was a little angry: "Really, the place is small to begin with, and there is one more person. It is difficult for a socially anxious uncle like me to adapt to it~"

"Suddenly there's another person?" Judai pointed at Pharaoh's belly, still a little confused: "Are you referring to Saiou? But didn't he run away?"

"Yes." The transformed Daitokuji nodded: "The one inside is Saiou, and the one who ran away should also be Saiou."

"what!?"

...

"I didn't expect that guy also had two souls in his body." Judai tapped his head with his hand, feeling his headache getting more and more painful.

"Yes, nya~" Daitokuji said, putting on a teachable demeanor. "If my judgment is correct, the punishment for the Dark Duel should have been borne by Saiou's kind nature, and the 'Light of Destruction' you were looking for escaped during the chaos just now."

"Judai, are you talking to the elves again?" Just as the two were communicating, Misawa, who resolved the battle first, looked at Judai who was talking to himself.

"I don't think so..." Manjomu, who had also finished the duel, couldn't see Daitokuji's figure, so he hesitated to move forward: "There shouldn't be any spirits next to Judai right now."

"Who is Judai talking to? Is it a ghost..." Misawa walked over to Judai curiously. "So what do ghosts look like? What do they rely on to exist? How do they communicate with humans? What's the difference between them and elves..."

"Is Misawa-san always like this..." Daitokuji looked at Misawa, whose eyes were full of enthusiasm, circling around Judai, and was so scared that he wiped away a non-existent cold sweat: "He is really an enthusiastic researcher."

"What were you discussing?" Asuka, finally finished fighting, came over and pointed at the students at her feet, asking, "Also, what should we do with these people?"

"The thing is this..." Judai looked at his three companions solemnly and told them all about his experience on Jupiter and the inference made by Daitoku-ji just now.

Chapter 197: 'The Society of Light' - the touchstone for duelists!

"Do you think I should believe these words?" Ed, who was still trapped in the light curtain, sat on the ground, staring at Judai and his companions behind him with an expressionless face.

By evening, after everyone had sent the fainted student to the infirmary, they finally remembered the professional duelist who should still be fighting the Type VI robot.

"This..." The others also looked at each other, looking at the rather miserable Ed in the light curtain. To be honest, if they put themselves in Ed's experience, it would be impossible for them to believe Judai's words.

After a day of fighting with the Type VI robot, this elegant gentleman who was talked about in the professional circle finally took off his usual makeup. His originally ironed silver suit was wrinkled, his hair was messy, and his eyes were dark circles. It was obvious that he was tortured by the robot.

"But what I said is true, you have to believe me!" Judai knocked hard on the light curtain. "There's something wrong with the Saiou who came with you. The many students who were attacked by the Manjomu can testify to this."

"Manjomu?" Ed repeated the name. "He's the one who activated the robot for me, right? Okay, I'll remember that."

"Uh... I didn't ask you to remember this..." Judai was jumping up and down in anxiety.

"Oh right..." Judai suddenly remembered something and picked up the Pharaoh who was dozing on the ground.

"Meow~?"

"Here's the evidence..." Judai suddenly brought up a bunch of dark history about the other person: "Were you afraid of thunder when you were a kid? You would hide under the bed every time it happened, and... and..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. I believe it, I believe it." After hearing the dark history that Judai had learned from somewhere, the emotions that had finally calmed down in the light curtain began to fluctuate violently again.

"Do you really believe it..." Judai looked at Ed inside hesitantly: "I can actually say a little more to prove it."

"That's not necessary." Ed rejected Judai's proposal with resentment: "These things... I will investigate them myself..."

"Then do you need any help from us..." Judai looked at Ed sincerely, "After all, we were wrong yesterday. I'm really sorry."

"You..." After looking at Judai deeply, Ai De finally expressed his request: "A bowl of hot porridge and a wearable suit."

...

"Is this guy... really okay..." Late at night, Judai looked at Ed who was about to leave after drinking only a bowl of thin porridge, feeling a little worried.

"Don't worry, he's a professional duelist, he won't be defeated so easily." Misawa expressed his opinion and turned to shout at the area behind him: "Hey, Manjome, the others have left, you don't need to hide anymore, come out quickly."

"Ahem, who's hiding..." Wanzhangmu, whose legs and feet were almost numb from squatting, staggered out from the shadows. "I just happened to be taking a stroll here... Besides, I paid for his suit and the helicopter he took when he left."

"You...next time you seek revenge, you should find the right person." Asuka looked at this friend whom she had met since junior high school, feeling a little speechless.

"Okay, okay. I'll definitely pay attention next time." After casually agreeing, Manzhangmu asked Judai curiously, "By the way, how did you suddenly know so much about that guy's dark history? Is there anything else? Tell me."

"This..." Retracting his gaze from the distance, Judai exchanged a glance with the floating Daitokuji Temple, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "It's a secret."

"Cut~"

...

As the Light of Destruction was temporarily repelled, the Duel Academy also ushered in a period of relatively "peaceful" time.

However, Judai and the others also noticed that although 'Saiou' was defeated, not everyone in the Obelis Blue Dormitory was able to walk out of the shadow of the 'Society of Light'.

Even if some weak-willed students are knocked down, they will return to the embrace of the "light" after waking up for a while. They will even cause the losing duelists to be brainwashed after dueling with others.

Under such circumstances, the people in the white uniforms of the Duel Academy, although their numbers had been drastically reduced after the battle that day, were now showing signs of resurgence. Especially the Sun God Yellow, which was a mixture of the former Red and Yellow Academy students, had surpassed the Obelisk Blue and became the hardest hit area of ​​the 'Society of Light'.

"These guys... no matter how many times we defeat them, they still insist on wearing that white uniform in the end." On a hillside of the Duel Academy, Wanzhangmu complained after putting away the duel disk.

"Mizawa, what's going on now?" Juudai, who was at the front, was looking at the fierce duel circle in the distance and was also quite troubled.

"Some people were brainwashed by the Light Society, some were rescued, and a steady stream of Duelists are heading towards this island." Misawa handed over a Dueling World newspaper and added, "It's estimated that our academy will be the center of the Dueling World for a long time to come."

"Really? What on earth were those professors thinking back then?" Wanzhangmu complained. "It was obvious that the resurgence of the Light of Destruction could have been resolved after it was discovered. Why did they have to wait until this point?"

"At the time, they..." Judai recalled the report. "Professor Napoleon's proposal was to use the power of the 'Light of Destruction' to eliminate some of the mentally weaker students. The other professors were strongly opposed to it, but with Samejima away and his unreasonable insistence, the 'Light of Destruction' spread..."

Opening the newspaper handed to him by Misawa, the top news that caught his eye was - "'The Society of Light' - The Touchstone of Duelists!"

Read further: "On the importance of willpower in a duel.", "Duelist Inuderaka breaks free of the 'White Shackles' on his own and has been signed by Takamura's agency with a high salary.", "Nakata's agency hires him with a high salary..."

"These guys, don't they think this is bad enough..." Looking at the information published in the newspaper, Judai felt a headache: "Don't they realize the dangers of 'Light of Destruction'?"

"Or they knew it from the beginning, but the news was deliberately ignored." Misawa said, pointing to some inconspicuous sections in the newspaper.

"After all, training a professional duelist is expensive." Wanzhangmu, who came from a consortium, was deeply impressed by this. "If these people can pass the trial of 'Light of Destruction', it basically proves that they have great investment potential. For investors, this characteristic of 'Light of Destruction' is indeed very tempting."

Chapter 198: Meeting with Bekas and the Upcoming School Trip

"Routine cleaning mission for Dormitory No. 7, one person needed, come quickly!"

"Save student Ryan, the commission is 30 million yen. If you need it, please take a look."

"The eldest son of the Mikami Group is coming soon and needs ten duelists as bodyguards. Sign up now."

"..."

"These guys... actually started a business like this..." After rejecting another guy who vowed to sell the first-hand goods of the International Illusion Society, Judai and others finally fled in a panic from the preparation area that was as noisy as a vegetable market.

"If most of the members of the Light Society weren't so weak right now, I really don't know how these guys would end up." Asuka, who looked a little embarrassed, was a little indignant.

"But compared to a while ago, their strength has greatly improved." Misawa, who was more sensitive to data, pointed out a key point: "Of course, the duelists who came here have also benefited greatly. The high-intensity and dangerous matches have also elevated their dueling skills to a new level."

"That's true..." Manjomu, who had fought in the most duels, obviously felt it deeply. After all, the small fry that he used to kill in one round can now slowly resist twice, which also gave him a sense of urgency to improve the strength of his deck again.

"What I fear most are those with weak wills but a large amount of Reyaka. Every time they're brainwashed, the Light Society's strength increases." Asuka had also run into trouble in a recent duel. "But these people are often arrogant and tend to venture into dangerous areas."

"I've already informed Principal Samejima." Judai looked at the battle zone, which was about to become an industrial chain, with a bit of fatigue. "He should be back in a while. Until then, try to keep the students away from there."

"Judai, your status in the academy should be unusual..." Manjomu, who came from a large consortium, vaguely guessed through his family's channels that Judai's status in the academy's upper echelons was unusual.

"I really want to shut it down for him too." Judai's mind flashed back to the skyrocketing income in his bank account, and he became even more depressed.

"But during this time, the Duel Academy has earned enough from ticket and accommodation fees to almost rebuild a new school. Almost all shareholders feel that things can be put on hold, especially since..." Thinking back to the notification he received that morning, Judai could only reluctantly respond, "I'll try my best."

...

After saying goodbye to his companions, Judai came to the principal's office alone.

The office today is very different from usual. The curtains are drawn on the surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows, and the light is dim. The large screen in the room is constantly on, showing the serious-looking Bekas and Samejima, who are waiting for Judai's arrival.

"Judai boy, you're finally here. I have something very important to tell you." After seeing Judai in person, Bekas on the screen immediately told him some secret things:

"To incorporate humanity's most cutting-edge wisdom into our cards, we at the International Illusion Society have collaborated with scientific research institutions around the world. One of these observatories once observed something terrifying..."

When Bekas said this, the picture above the screen also changed, turning into a vast starry sky, and in the depths of the starry sky, there was an extremely large white vortex celestial body, which looked quite creepy.

"According to the observatory's analysis of data, this celestial body appeared hundreds of millions of years ago. It spewed out huge amounts of energy in the universe, which is now known as the 'Light of Destruction'." Bekas' tone became more serious. "This is an evil force that aims to destroy the universe..."

"So you knew about the 'Light of Destruction' from the beginning?" After hearing what Bekas said, Judai was stunned and excited: "Then why did you just let the 'Light of Destruction' outside?"

"It's not the right time yet." Beckas intertwined his fingers, rested his chin on his hand and spoke out the speculation from their group:

"According to our research, the Light of Destruction possesses a certain instinctive consciousness. If we can't destroy it in one fell swoop, it will surely escape our control and become dormant once again. Therefore, we can only let these ownerless Lights of Destruction wander freely. Once their energy grows to a certain size, their true form will surely be reluctant to part with them. That's when we can capture them once and for all."

"But I should have fought against his real body before..." Judai shook his head and told the two about the battle with 'Saiou'.

"Is this so..."

Judai's words immediately made Samejima and Bekas frown and start to think deeply.

"Perhaps that's not even the complete 'Light of Destruction'." After a moment, Bekas, still hesitant, said, "After all, some time ago, with the strong cooperation between us and the Kaiba Group, traces of the 'Light of Destruction' were also discovered in the professional dueling area in North America."

"Of course, it's not ruled out that your dark item isn't powerful enough to hold it..." Staring at the pendant on Judai's chest, Bekas offered a new guess: "I can think of a way to help you temporarily rent a more powerful item. In the meantime..."

A blank card appears in the center of the screen.

"Tenth Generation, the R&D guy you recommended to Kaiba Corporation does have some stuff, even if he brought some things he shouldn't have." Bekas' tone was a little strange when he said this. "Of course, that's not the focus of this meeting. Inspired by the items he brought, we developed a card specifically for capturing the 'Light of Destruction'. If you meet him next time, you can try both of these things."

"Next time?" Judai was a little confused.

"It's like this," Principal Samejima finally chimed in. "We plan to hold a dueling extravaganza at the Duel Academy. We'll invite all duelists who might be possessed by the Light of Destruction, and we'll eventually capture them all."

"What about the students in the academy..."

"Don't worry about that." Samejima had already made plans for the students' safety. "The academy will be arranging a field trip soon, and we'll be able to identify the truly powerful duelists. As for the remaining students, we'll use public funds to go on this trip."

"Is this so..."

"Yes, the neighboring city of Tongshiye is a great place to travel." After skipping the heavy topic, Bekas's words became much more relaxed: "By the way, you can also visit the Kaiba Group. They are developing a new summoning method, and they have already achieved initial results~"

Chapter 199: Jianshan: Yujo Judai, I declare that I accept your challenge!

Ever since the meeting with Samejima and Bekas, Judai has clearly noticed in his daily observations that the number of students heading to the combat zone has decreased significantly. Even if some students still have to go to the combat zone to hone themselves, they will basically make preparations in advance and go in groups.

However, the outside duelists did not care about this. Especially with the unscrupulous reports of the outside media and the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the battle between "Light of Destruction" and them was becoming more and more intense. In this atmosphere, Judai received an invitation from another meeting.

"Is there anything important that needs to be discussed recently..." Judai sat in the academy's conference room, lost in thought: "Can't this system be abolished... or a new representative be appointed?"

Now, except for him, the entire room was filled with teachers and department heads, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

According to past rules and regulations, Duel Academy would arrange for a student to sit in on meetings and occasionally listen to their opinions.

Last year, this task was handled by Marufuji Ryo, and this year it is Judai's turn.

While Judai was in a daze, Kuroros finally swaggered to the front of the conference room.

"Meetings are so fun, Noone~" Chrollos thought happily as he looked down at everyone present. "It would be great if we could have meetings every day from now on, Noone~. One in the morning, one at noon, one in the evening..."

"Ahem." Seeing a strange blush appear on Kuroros' face, Ayukawa Emi, who was standing below him, coughed lightly and issued a reminder.

"Oh, yes, we've gathered everyone here today because of the school trip." After Emi's reminder, Chrollos finally showed some of his principal's demeanor. "Due to the influence of the 'Light of Destruction', the academy is planning to hold a training trip soon, but the specific location hasn't been determined yet, so we need to ask for your opinions. Feel free to speak freely, Noone~"
