Six years later.
April.
Located in New Domino City, the Duel Academy's middle school, which stands at the heart of this duel city.
Welcomed a batch of new students from all over the world.
The youngsters who managed to enter the Duel Academy's middle school.
Without exception, they are all rising stars in the duel world.
Here, they will spend three years taking duel courses.
After the assessment.
Their assessment results will determine whether they can enter the Duel Academy's high school and become a true elite duelist.
“Hey~ This is the Duel Academy, the place that cultivates elite duelists from all over the world.”
“Wow~ It looks so amazing! Just thinking about studying here makes my heart beat faster.”
Outside the academy, two girls are looking at their new surroundings with excitement.
Hamaguchi Momoe, Makurada Junko.
The two girls stood by the roadside, gazing at the surroundings.
“Ah, it’s Asuka.”
“Hey, Asuka, over here, over here!”
Seeing the blonde girl dragging her luggage from the academy entrance, Momoe and Junko immediately waved their arms.
“You two, why are you running so fast...”
Unlike her two friends who are a bit reckless in nature.
This girl named Tenjo Asuka.
Although her appearance is young and tender, her words are filled with maturity.
“Today is the new student registration day, right? I heard that there are many handsome guys in the Duel Academy. I definitely need to come here to observe them first.”
“Look, look, those wearing blue uniforms are all second-year seniors of the middle school, right?”
“There are some good-looking seniors too.”
“Speaking of which, I heard that there’s a senior named Marufuji Ryō in the middle school, not only is he handsome, but also his grades are exceptionally good.”
“Eh? That’s great, I want to meet that senior.”
Seeing her two friends who had been playing together since childhood were obsessed with handsome guys again.
Asuka rubbed her forehead in distress.
“Isn’t our purpose of studying at Duel Academy to become top duelists… What’s the point of looking at handsome guys…”
“Oh, Asuka, don’t be so rigid at this time.”
“Yes, yes, we can duel whenever we want.”
Junko and Momoe giggled, pulling Asuka towards the academy.
However, as soon as they turned, Junko bumped into a young man walking towards them.
“Hiss, it hurts.”
Staggering back two steps, Junko sat down on her bottom, clutching her bottom and crying out in pain.
“Ah… Sorry.”
A faint apology came from in front of her.
Junko, who was furious, was about to stand up and punch this guy who didn’t have eyes.
However, upon closer inspection.
The anger in Junko’s heart instantly disappeared without a trace.
Brown jellyfish hair, a sharp and mature gaze.
This person.
Is a full-mark handsome guy!
Seeing that Junko didn’t seem to be injured.
The boy didn’t stay, he just walked around the three of them with his backpack, heading towards the academy.
“Are you okay, Junko?” Asuka and Momoe quickly helped Junko up, “Are you hurt?”
“That guy, he really doesn’t pay attention to where he’s walking.”
“Ah… I’m okay.”
Junko shook her head, looking at the disappearing boy with a lovestruck look, “That guy… is kinda handsome.”
“Hmm?” Momoe blinked, following Junko’s gaze.
Indeed.
Although he still looks childish.
But his mature eyes and black jacket outfit made his childishness disappear without a trace.
It’s true that he is handsome!
“Really, lucky~ I met a handsome guy on the first day of school.” Momoe happily made a scissor hand gesture and said playfully, “Junko’s collision might lead to a lot of peach blossoms.”
“Eh~ Really?” Junko covered her face, the word lovestruck was almost written on her face.
Only Tenjo Asuka was still silently watching the boy’s disappearing figure.
Her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
“Asuka, what are you looking at? Did you fall for that handsome guy too?” Momoe looked at Asuka with a mischievous smile.
Asuka glared at Momoe angrily: “No way.”
“But, don’t you think that guy looks a little familiar?”
“Familiar?”
Momoe and Junko looked at each other.
“Eh, Asuka, now that you mention it, he does look familiar.”
“I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere… Where?”
“Ah! I remember!”
Suddenly, Junko snapped her fingers and exclaimed.
Asuka and Momoe looked at Junko.
“Isn’t he the one who won the junior championship with an undefeated record at the professional duel tournament a year ago!”
“He’s the…”
“The genius duel boy who is known as 【The Strongest Hero Holder】, Yūsei Tenjo!”
