It was late at night when he returned to the dorm.
He scaled the wall of the Duel Academy, returning to his dorm.
Jaden Yuki took a shower and sat on his bed, checking the special card pack he had just acquired.
“I wonder what kind of cards I’ll get from this card pack related to the original story.”
This was the first time Jaden had defeated a character from the original story.
Though, he was just a minor cannon fodder...
“Hmm?”
He opened the card pack.
Seeing the five cards inside the pack, Jaden was slightly taken aback.
“Jaden, it seems you’ve gotten something good.”
Yubel’s voice rang out in Jaden’s ear.
A smile crept onto Jaden’s lips.
“Ah, yes…”
“For me, it’s definitely something good…”
Although, it’s a little… dark, to say the least…
…
The next day.
In the academy classroom.
The freshmen had already formed their own little cliques during yesterday’s welcome party.
They huddled together, chatting and laughing.
Asuka and her two best friends, Jun and Momo, were in a corner of the classroom, discussing the news this morning.
“Hey, did you guys hear? Someone saw a man tied up outside the police station this morning.”
“It was reported by a journalist, right? It was a duelist called Titan?”
“Apparently, he was always involved in illegal activities. Last night, he was defeated by someone, and they left him at the police station’s door.”
“When he woke up, this Titan guy had gone a little crazy. He lost his memory of last night.”
Jun and Momo chatted excitedly about the news.
“Who could have done it…?” Jun propped her chin on her hand, her face filled with admiration. “Maybe it’s a hero protecting Domino City.”
“Wow, that’s so romantic, Jun.” Momo mirrored Jun, her hands on her chin, her eyes filled with longing.
Hero…?
Asuka shook her head, a wry smile on her lips.
Although it was a bit cliché.
But according to the news about the person who had subdued the criminal but didn’t reveal his name, his actions did have the flavor of a lone wolf ‘hero’.
“Anyway, as students, we should focus on our studies.”
“You two, get your minds back on dueling.”
Asuka shook her head and spoke.
As soon as she finished, there was a sound of the door being pushed open.
The noisy chatter among the students in the classroom paused slightly as they caught sight of the person who had walked in.
A cold expression, a brown jellyfish-shaped hairstyle.
A black jacket, which stood out against the students in their blue school uniforms.
“Hey, isn’t that Jaden Yuki?”
“It really is. Jaden Yuki, the previous Junior Division Champion? What is he doing in Duel Academy?”
“Is he a student here too? And he’s in our class?”
“Whoa, that’s my idol… I’m in the same class as my idol…”
The students buzzed with excitement.
No one had expected that the dueling prodigy they had seen on television would actually be standing before them.
Among these students, there were many who were passionate about dueling and used Hero decks.
And Jaden Yuki.
The man who used a dedicated Hero deck and won the Duel Tournament.
He was undoubtedly their idol.
To duel him!
To duel the user of the strongest Hero deck!
Under the ardent gazes of the students.
Jaden’s brow furrowed slightly.
He didn’t like this kind of attention.
It was annoying to be treated like an alien everywhere he went.
He scanned the classroom.
Finally, he sat down in the empty seat in the corner.
But the moment he settled down.
The students around him immediately swarmed him like they had discovered a celebrity.
“It’s really Jaden-kun.”
“Jaden-kun, can I duel you? Please, I use a Hero deck too. I admire you so much! Please grant my request!”
“Jaden-kun, can you sign something for me…”
As if he were the center of the universe.
Jaden was surrounded by excited students.
Looking at the starry-eyed students surrounding him.
Jaden rubbed his forehead and sighed.
“Hehehe, are you uncomfortable with all the attention?” Yubel’s figure appeared behind Jaden, a smile on her lips. “If Jaden wants, I can make them disappear forever.”
“Forget it. They are just kids in their starstruck phase…”
Jaden shook his head, stopping Yubel.
“There are many ways to make them leave me alone.”
For example…
Under the starry-eyed gaze of the crowd.
Jaden silently took out his deck and placed it on the desk.
“So, anyone who wants to duel me, line up.”
I’ll let you know…
What it means to regret it.
