Three people: "..."

"How can there be such an irresponsible bastard principal? Judai, please fire him. Let me be the principal, Noone."

"That's right, the position of vice principal is left to me!"

Chapter 263: Bonfire Party, Late-Night Conversation

"Well... this isn't good..." Although Judai was speechless about Samejima's absence due to something, he still felt that it was a bit too much to fire his own principal just for this reason.

"It's nothing. We are the ones doing the work on weekdays anyway."

"Yes, we are the ones doing the work on weekdays!"

"That seems to be the case..." Judai grabbed his hair and suddenly felt that being the chairman was not that easy.

In the end, Judai agreed to half of their request, which was to temporarily promote the positions of the two, but also retain Samejima's position as principal.

Because of this, the Duel Academy at this time actually had a rare and strange situation of two principals and one vice-principal. Of course, the specific matters regarding the contract in this regard still had to wait for subsequent professional personnel to be responsible, and this basically had nothing to do with the offline shopkeeper Tenth Generation.

However, the focus of their trip was not here. Even if Chrollos threatened to expel Samejima, he was just angry. Their top priority was to find Cobra's whereabouts while notifying the students that they could not engage in private duels.

Just like that, the three of them quickly separated. Kuroros went to the broadcasting room to issue a notice to the entire school banning duels, while Judai and Napoleon went to different areas to find and inform those unknown students in the school of the news.

When everyone gathered together again, it was already evening. Now all the students in the academy were gathered in the open space that used to be Osiris Red.

"Where is Professor Cobra?" The impatient Jianshan asked first.

"You didn't find that guy either." Jim frowned and looked at the others.

"Hmm... strange. I usually see him running around, forcing and bribing students to duel, but why is he gone today?" Judai propped up his chin with one hand and complained belatedly.

"If what you said is true, I think that guy is on the run." Manjome and Asuka, who had not been with the others before, came over and took out an invitation from their pockets at the same time:

"This is an invitation from Amon. According to him, this is an order from Cobra. He wants him to hold a banquet in Obelisklan this evening. At that time, all participants of the banquet must engage in a duel."

"What! Does this guy want to wipe out the entire academy?" Upon hearing this, Judai couldn't help but clench his fists. If Cobra were present now, Judai would definitely punch him twice.

"This person's mind is so vicious." Even Jim, who had seen a lot of storms, was shocked when he heard what the other party did.

"That's right. After Amon found out that he almost became an accomplice to the evil, he felt extremely guilty. Now he has locked himself in the room and told us not to disturb him." Asuka also added an explanation.

"Enough with the bad news, let's talk about the good news." Misawa said to everyone, holding up a strange instrument. "This thing is a signal jammer. If you use it with the demolition tools, everyone's duel bracelets can be removed quickly."

"Really? That's awesome!" Judai jumped up happily.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's get to work." John and the others were also delighted. Under Misawa's leadership, they began to remove the duel bracelets from the students of the academy one by one.

...

"None, it seems that everything has been resolved satisfactorily." After everyone's wristbands were removed, Kuroros, who was busy running around with everyone, finally smiled.

He was in a relatively happy mood today. Although what Cobra was going to do gave him great fear, it also made him become the principal he had always dreamed of. At the same time, the guy also fled for fear of punishment.

"Well, since it's rare for everyone to get together, why don't we have a bonfire party, Noone? What do you think of this idea?"

"Bonfire party?" Chrollos' words made Judai and the others' eyes light up. "Is it the same bonfire party as in first grade?"

"None!"

"That would be great!"

Soon, the students who received the notice became excited. They spontaneously picked up various dry branches and gathered them together. The students who could cook ran to prepare dinner for everyone with Professor Huashan, and the students who could dance even took out their cherished stage costumes.

...

"None, today, Professor Ben, no, Principal Ben is very happy..." As the party progressed, Kurolos, who had drunk some rice wine, sang and danced in the crowd, looking very happy.

Under the influence of alcohol, while enjoying himself, he asked the students a question: "Dear students, why are you dueling?"

"Because of glory, I want to be the best in the world and bring glory to my country!"

"I once had a dream. In the dream, a young girl begged me to keep dueling. She wanted to be with me forever, so I came."

"Because of money, playing professionally can make a lot of money."

"I don't know, my mother made me learn it."

"..."

"What's the reason for the duel? This question is quite interesting." On the other side, a few people who were gathered around a small campfire heard the noise coming from the other side and started discussing it with great interest.

"Why are you all dueling?" Judai looked at the others present curiously, and patted his chest before stating his own reasons:

"I did it because dueling is fun, and because the process of playing brings me joy and pleasure. I still remember walking into the dueling hall in my dream, and the person asked me with an inquiring look if I wanted to play duel cards."

At this point, Judai even took out the [Winged Man] from his own card, his eyes full of happy aftertaste.

"Is it that simple?" Wanzhangmu, who was also slumped on the ground, was a little surprised. He had never thought that the pace he had been pursuing and the original purpose of the duel were so simple.

"As for me, I want to make the glory of my family go further." Unlike others, behind Manzhangmu is the complex Manzhangmu Group, and he is also the third son in the family. Since he was a child, he has been burdened with the expectations of his elders and brothers. Dominating the military, political and duel realms has always been their family's ambitious policy.

But now... Manzhangmu looked at the elves that were entangled in a ball with a gentle gaze, and then knocked them away with a hammer. Maybe now, something has changed.

Chapter 264: Clues to the Rainbow Dragon

"I did it because I wanted to gain more attention." Misawa spoke frankly about his past thoughts. In the past, he worked so hard to get the first place in the exam, hoping to receive the envious gazes of his classmates when the teacher praised him. But now, thinking of Tania from the Amazon tribe and Professor Einstein's grand unified theory, he feels that he is very different from what he was two years ago.

"I was able to come to the academy because of my brother's achievements," Asuka said softly, recounting her family's experiences. "When I was little, my parents and relatives were always bragging about my brother's achievements. Under these circumstances, I followed in his footsteps and came to the academy."

"Let me tell you a story..." Seeing everyone open up like this, John naturally didn't want to be left behind: "That happened before I met Homomon. Once upon a time, I met a Duel Monster named Jellybean on the street. Of course, there was also a child who was unconscious on the street..."

"How could this be? That adult is so abominable!" John's words made Judai furious. "Bullying a child is nothing compared to his skill. And even if they really wanted to have a card duel, they should have announced it in advance."

"That's right," John nodded affirmatively. "But I also saw that even after the elf was captured, it still wanted to come back to save its companions. And it always felt like its companions were always there with it, sometimes there and sometimes not. From then on, I understood that even if some people in reality can't see elves, they can still communicate with their companions."

"So for these people..." His usual playful expression gradually faded, and he became determined: "I want to become a bridge connecting humans and duel elves!"

"Is that so..." Judai's eyes widened with admiration: "John, I always feel that compared to your reasons, ours are too casual."

"But it's a bit too heavy." Misawa looked at the other party with emotion.

"So, in order to achieve this goal, I hope for your help." John, who had become lively again, spoke to the crowd:

"After this period of communication and understanding, I feel that everyone present is the most trustworthy and extraordinary person in the Duel Academy. Therefore, I have decided to reveal something to you, and this is also the ultimate secret of my [Gem Beast] deck.

"Huh? The ultimate secret." Judai didn't find it difficult to understand what the other party meant: "Didn't you reveal the secret of your deck at the opening ceremony?"

"That's right, a deck without an ace," Wanzhang said coldly. "Your ace is called [Ultimate Gem God Rainbow Dragon], but it hasn't been found yet. You need to find the stone tablet that records it before you can create it. When you said that, we who were watching from below laughed to death."

Wanzhangmu was most impressed by this. After all, his family had planned to purchase the Gem Beast deck. If the purchase was successful, then he, as a freshman, would most likely have to use this deck without an ace.

"That's indeed true..." John nodded awkwardly. "But the secret I want to reveal is a clue I recently stumbled upon. It's related to my ultimate trump card, the Rainbow Dragon."

John lowered his voice, trying to maintain a mysterious tone. "According to confirmed information, the Rainbow Dragon Slate rests at the origin of the rainbow, within the cracks of the world. Has anyone heard of a similar location?"

"Where does the rainbow originate?"

"World Crack?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other with thoughtful expressions.

"No, have you really heard of it!?" John, who had just asked casually and didn't have much hope, was a little surprised.

"That's right..." After a moment, Asuka spoke in a rather complicated tone, "There is indeed such a place. It fits your description very well. I went there again not long ago."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else present, including Judai, nodded in agreement.

At the end of their first year, they had all visited the ruins of Wanggu in the north of the island under the guidance of Professor Daitoku-ji, and the scene there was indeed somewhat similar to what John had described.

When the portal of the ruins opens, colorful light will fall from the sky, and the royal tomb opposite the ruins can also be called a crack in the world.

"Really? So the rainbow dragon I've been looking for is right here on this island!" After hearing the other party's description of the ruins, John stood up excitedly and said, "Then can you take me to see it?"

"Calm down for a moment," Misawa quickly advised. "It's a long journey there, and you need to prepare food and tools in advance. Especially if you don't want to camp overnight, it would be best to set off tomorrow morning."

"Yeah, yeah!" Judai agreed. "Tomorrow's the weekend, why don't we go with you then?"

"By the way, John, don't get your hopes up too much." After comforting the other party, Sanze thought of a more important point: "The Rainbow Dragon Slab is definitely a treasure held by the Roman Empire, but the ruins of the Valley of the Kings in the north are more likely to be from Egyptian civilization. The two don't seem to be connected at all.

"That's right." Wanzhangmu nodded and mentioned a location. "In my opinion, the most likely place where the stone tablets are buried is the Mediterranean region. After all, that's where ancient Rome was, and that's where they should be given more attention."

"Sorry, I was a little excited just now." John calmed down completely after listening to the two people's explanation.

"How about this, we'll go to the Wanggu ruins as usual this weekend, but I'll also ask the Kaiba Group to keep an eye out for any traces of the Rainbow Dragon." Judai offered a compromise.

"Really? Thank you so much, Judai." John really wanted to give Judai a big hug at this moment.

"Hahaha, we are all friends!"

While high-fiving John, Judai was completely disappointed. However, he did not place his hopes on the Kaiba Group. After all, John had asked the International Illusion Society for help before, but there was no news for so long. It would be difficult for the Kaiba Group, which was comparable to it, to find anything in this regard in the short term.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the person he really wanted to ask for help was Professor Daitoku-ji who lived in the body of the Pharaoh. With the other party's experience of traveling all over the country, he believed that he would be able to give him a satisfactory answer.

But now...

After taking a look at the increasingly gloomy sky, Judai and the others informed Professor Kuroros, who was still singing and dancing, and planned to leave.

Chapter 265: Traveling through time and fighting at the comic convention!

"Strange, where is the Pharaoh?" After returning to the dormitory, Judai searched around but could not find any trace of the other party.

"Could he have gone out to play again?" He muttered casually, but didn't take it to heart.

"Forget it, let's wait for it to come back and ask the teacher. Before that." Judai's eyes fell on the loading interface of the simulator excitedly.

"Are you finally okay again? Hehe, we can finally have a good duel. King Yan, wait for death!" After the confident declaration, Judai, lying on the bed, started his journey to another world again.

...

"Damn it, how can we play this? This is impossible to play!" With the end of another duel, Judai couldn't help but sigh to the sky. The Flame King was already difficult to beat, so how come it merged with Snake Eyes this time?

"Is this the marriage of the powerful?" After another sigh, Judai prepared to switch his deck to the hero Jun, perhaps to improve his luck. But at this moment, the chat tool hanging nearby suddenly began to flash.

"Duel Comic Con? It seems pretty cool." Judai looked at Hana Benxue's message in the chat box and immediately showed interest.

...

"Strange, why hasn't Benxue arrived yet?" After Judai had finished two cups of coffee at the agreed place and still didn't see the other party, he muttered to himself in confusion.

Under such circumstances, Judai simply took out his deck again and stuffed some new gadgets into it. After doing this, he finally waited for the late arrival of Hana Benxue.

After not seeing each other for a long time, she still looked as young and beautiful as ever, but her face was flushed, there were a few tiny beads of sweat on her forehead, and even her chest was heaving due to the panting caused by running so hard.

"Hey, Benxue, you are really beautiful today." Judai looked at her in surprise. At this time, Hana Benxue was wearing a set of Silver City Cosplay costume that she had bought before, and she looked extremely bright and charming.

"Yes, because it's a comic convention, it also has to match the venue." After taking the milk tea handed over by the cat-eared waiter, Hana Benxue took small sips while explaining to Judai.

"By the way, where are your clothes?"

"I forgot." Judai scratched his head. He hadn't thought of this at all. "I thought I only needed to bring the cards."

Hana Benxue: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

"This is the first Duel Comic Con?" she said with regret.

"How about I go back and change now?"

"I'm afraid it's too late, let's do this!" Hua Benxue's eyes turned and she suddenly came up with an idea.

...

It was half an hour later when the two of them actually arrived at the exhibition center.

At this time, Judai was walking with Hana Benyuki in a patchwork outfit.

Well, today is also the day when the bright and charming princess and the crude knight go out.

"Judai, why don't we go back and change our clothes first." It seemed that because the two of them were wearing such clothes that they attracted so much attention, Hana Benxue felt a little embarrassed.

"No need, I think this is good enough." Judai was very satisfied as he looked at the clothes on his body that combined the best of many families.

"Well, this is the style of integration."

Hana Benxue: (?-?*)

"But Benxue, what are those people doing?" After rejecting the other party's proposal, Judai suddenly pointed to an extremely strange place.

There, two people several meters apart had strange devices on their glasses, and they sat on both sides, seemingly playing cards?

"That's VR glasses, the latest and most fashionable invention." Hana Benxue said proudly.

"Of course, it's still a little different from yours." However, after recalling the dreamlike technology tree in the other world, he couldn't help but add guiltily.
