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

Even though the virtual image had completely disappeared, Judai himself was still a little slow to react.

"My current strength..."

Judai looked at the full stack of cards in his hand and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

On the other hand, Marufuji Ryo, the other party in this game, was more sober and stated the facts directly with a calm face:

"I lost."

Before the other three could react, Caesar, who was standing still, suddenly uttered the Judai's favorite catchphrase after winning a duel:

"It was an interesting duel."

"Ah, Senior..."

Before Judai could declare victory, he had to swallow his words, and a look of discomfort suddenly appeared on his face.

Seeing Judai's expression, Marufuji Ryo revealed a rare look of ease. He spread his arms and said in a light tone:

"Why, don't you think this duel is interesting?"

After he finished speaking, Marufuji Ryo's expression became serious again:

"However, from today on, Yujo Judai, I will be your future challenger!"

"Caesar..."

Taking advantage of Judai's daze, Marufuji Ryo waved to Judai and others, then turned and left very casually.

"By the way, you must protect this crown until I defeat you!"

Looking at Caesar's receding figure, Judai couldn't help but lower his head in thought:

"It seems like I really won."

Misawa, who was pulling Saotome forward to congratulate Judai, suddenly saw Judai suddenly look up:

"Hahaha, if that's the case, then am I considered the number one in the academy now?"

Misawa: "..."

"That's impossible! Lord Caesar is so powerful and so handsome!"

Saotome Rei, who was about to retort, suddenly looked at Judai carefully and said uncertainly:

"Well... at most, it's a draw between you two?"

"Hey, hey, hey, are you really watching the duel?

I just summoned so many monsters in one breath, so many monsters!"

Judai protested against Saotsu Rei's partiality:

"This hero is so cool, isn't he? He's no worse than Cyber ​​Dragon!"

"Tenth generation..."

This time, Saotome Rei did not refute Judai again. She had always been dressed in men's clothes, but suddenly she took off her beret in front of outsiders for the second time, revealing her long hair that was almost waist-length.

"Hey, what are you doing? Misawa, you will help keep it a secret, right?"

Facing the suddenly panicked Judai and the somewhat surprised Misawa, Rei said apologetically:

"Sorry, Judai, I probably can't be your roommate for a while."

"Oh... That's normal. Why don't you just go to the Obelisk Blue girls' dormitory? The environment there is better than mine."

"No, not this..."

......

Early the next morning, at the island's port.

Saotome Rei, who was sent back to her original school, boarded the regular ferry back home.

Judai, Caesar and others stood at the port to see Saotome off.

"Really? After all this time, I, as your roommate, am the last one to know."

Standing at the dock, Judai spread his hands:

"I thought it was outrageous enough that this girl was dressed as a man, but she's only in fifth grade."

Judai sighed deeply and finally waved his arm reluctantly at Saotome Rei, who was half-extending from the ship window, saying goodbye:

But no matter what, goodbye for now, my temporary roommate! "

"Next year, I will graduate from elementary school."

Before the cruise ship started, Saotome Rei, who had already changed back into her normal female attire and let her waist-length hair cascade down like a waterfall, waved her arms in the direction of Judai and the others.

"When the time comes, I will also take the entrance exam for the Duel Academy junior high school!"

"I see. I'm truly defeated by your courage."

Judai responded loudly:

"I'll help you chase Caesar then!"

Ever since defeating Marufuji Ryo yesterday, Judai has become much bolder. He even patted Marufuji Ryo on the shoulder, jokingly responding to the gift on the cruise ship.

Marufuji Ryo raised his eyebrows slightly when Judai suddenly extended his arm over him. He did not try to stop him, but instead looked at Judai with an inexplicable expression, wanting to say something but stopping himself:

"I had a long talk with Li again last night..."

Misawa on the other side was also confused:

"Strange, Caesar should be graduating next year, Judai, why are you helping him?"

The answer from Li instantly dispelled his doubts:

"Wait for me, Judai-sama!"

Judai: “???”

Misawa: (*゜ー゜*)

Marufuji Ryo: (￣▽￣)～■Cheers□～(￣▽￣)

"Ah, shouldn't Li like the senior?"

After hearing this, Judai was confused. How could the melon suddenly fall on his head?

"I think she might have been influenced by you when she watched your duel yesterday?"

Misawa beside him made an uncertain guess, then shrugged.

"Who knows? Girls' minds are harder to figure out than the probability of a lucky draw."

Marufuji Ryo, who had anticipated this, moved Judai's right hand away and said sincerely:

"I'm going to start my retreat now. I'll leave Xiaoli in your care from now on."

"Oh, no, this has nothing to do with me!"

After hearing this, Judai anxiously jumped up from the dock.

Chapter 96: Sending You to the Sky

As the days go by, the annual friendly exchange event between Duel Academy and Northern Academy is about to begin.

On a fresh morning, faculty and staff from various departments gathered in the meeting room of Duel Academy, enthusiastically discussing the academy's representatives for this year's competition.

“As per convention, we should once again choose Marufuji Ryo as the student representative.

After all, in the duel against Northern College, we need to send out our best students.

And Marufuji Ryo from Obelisk Blue is undoubtedly the best student!"

As the head of the Obelisk Blue Boys' Dormitory, Professor Kurolos couldn't wait to speak as soon as he took his seat:

"By the way, where's Marufuji Ryoto?"

After saying this, Chrollos looked around the conference room and said dissatisfiedly:

"Principal, you've already taken several days off for Caesar, but what could be more important than selecting student representatives?"

"Ahem, actually, Professor Chrollos, your information may need updating."

Samejima placed his hands on the principal's chair, coughed lightly, and said something that made the others' pupils tremble:

“In fact, just a few days ago, our freshman Yu Cheng—Judai, the one who was just recruited this year and was highly regarded by everyone.

He defeated Marufuji Ryo in a head-to-head duel, and the academy's top position has officially changed hands."

"Nani!"

Upon hearing the news, the professors who had just sat down stood up in shock.

"Wait a minute, isn't Marufuji Ryo your apprentice? You're slandering his reputation like this..."

Professor Kurolos looked directly at Samejima, his face solemn and full of disbelief.

"Old man, what you said is not true, is it? Although I do have high hopes for that little guy, he is only a first-year student now. He only defeated me, defeated Manjome, and defeated Yu-Gi-Oh's card..."

The more Chrollos spoke, the more he felt something was wrong, and he even lost confidence in himself.

"But it is indeed true. Liang asked for leave these few days in order to study the secrets of the electronic dragon in depth."

Principal Samejima said affirmatively.

"It seems our college has welcomed an amazing new student this year."

The head of the girls' dormitory, Ayukawa Emi, sighed.

"How about holding a dinner party to celebrate the new king of the academy?"

Professor Huashan suddenly spoke:

"I recently researched a new dish and wanted to share it with my classmates."

Seeing that the conversation was about to take a strange turn, the ever-dutiful Chrollos quickly spoke up to turn the tide:

"Let's get back to the student representatives. So this year's contestant will fall to Judai?"

The professor looked a little melancholy after he finished speaking. He was indeed optimistic about Yuki Judai, but he was not that optimistic about Judai.

It's outrageous to think that a freshman could kill Caesar alone. Why did I have to be so obsessed and play the trick of playing both reluctant and willing?

When he thought about Judai still wearing the red clothes of Osiris, Kuroroth felt a pang of heartache. All these achievements were in vain!

"I think it's okay."

Principal Samejima's words brought Chrollos back to reality:

"Also, according to the news from Northern College, their freshman representative this year is a freshman. If we follow common sense and send third-year Marufuji Ryo, even if we win, we'll inevitably be criticized."

"So we sent out Judai Yuki, who is also a first-year but actually defeated Caesar, right?"

"No one on the other side could have imagined that a freshman could actually defeat Caesar head-on during his first year."

For a moment, the professors in the office looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"However, if Judai is simply appointed as the student representative, wouldn't that discourage the other students?"

As a woman, Ayukawa Emi has a more comprehensive consideration in this regard:

"If it's Ryo, he'll naturally be able to convince everyone with his past achievements. But Yujo Judai, even though we all know he's very good, he's still wearing the Osiris red school uniform."

"Then I recommend Misawa Daichi."

Professor Chrollos spoke again while the others were lost in thought:

"He was the top scorer in this year's written exam. If he were to have a duel with Judai, it would also help to quell the students' discussions."

"Huh? Why are you suddenly mentioning Misawa?"

Professor Karayama, whose mind had already drifted to the ingredients, didn't understand why he was suddenly involved with the students in his dormitory.
