Chapter 28
Who Says a Bad Beast Can't Be a Hero?

At this moment, in the suburbs of Toyo City.

The black mist in the mountains was quickly dissipating.

“Ugh, ahhh!”

The Lava Magma’s left side had been shattered.

A mournful cry erupted from its mouth.

The black hero standing beside Jaden Yuki slowly dissipated.

Jaden Yuki walked to the Lava Magma and spread his palm.

“Submit to the Overlord, Lava Magma.”

“Offer your strength to me.”

The Lava Magma's body began to turn into points of light.

The points of light gradually gathered in Jaden’s palm, finally forming a card.

【Lava Magma】

Jaden stared silently at the card in his hand.

In his orange eyes, there was a hint of an indescribable emotion.

Yubel floated nearby, arms crossed.

Although Jaden's expression remained unchanged.

Yubel could feel the excitement within Jaden’s heart.

【Congratulations, Host, on unlocking the key card – Lava Magma】

【Special Deck Pre-built is now available in the Card Shop】

【Please check】

Opening the system interface.

He saw several new cards added to the Card Shop.

A faint smile spread across Jaden’s lips.

Finally…

My “Neos” Deck.

Hm? You talking about heroes?

Who said Neos couldn’t be a hero?

As long as there’s justice in your heart, everyone’s a hero, right? (Fog)

The Overlord’s color gradually faded from his eyes.

Jaden stretched, placing the Lava Magma in his Deck.

“Let’s go, Yubel, time for lunch.”

“Hmph, even an Overlord needs to eat…”

Yubel teased.

“I’m not a real Overlord…I’m just Jaden Yuki.”

Hands in his pockets, Jaden spoke casually.

The Overlord was simply the dark side of Jaden’s heart.

But when Jaden fully accepted this dark side.

The Overlord ceased to exist.

All that was left was Jaden Yuki.

Duel Academy.

Dormitory.

Inside the room, a young man sat before a computer, silently watching a video playing on the screen.

This video was the duel between Asuka Tenjoin and Jaden Yuki that took place this morning.

“Elemental HERO Sun Flare…”

“Jaden Yuki has such a trump card besides the Masked HEROes?”

“He’s truly a troublesome opponent…But if I want to rule Duel Academy and make my brothers proud…”

“Jaden Yuki is an opponent I cannot overlook.”

The young man’s eyes burned with ambition.

HERO Deck…HERO Deck…

Jaden Yuki, this Duelist using both “Elemental HEROes” and unique “Masked HEROes”.

His Dueling skills are formidable, and his Deck is flawless.

No…

There are still weaknesses.

“Transformations and Fusion!”

The young man’s eyes lit up as he suddenly realized something.

“Asuka Tenjoin merely locked Jaden Yuki’s “Mask Change” cards, preventing him from summoning the Masked HEROes.”

“But the HERO Deck is a Fusion-focused Deck, so…merely sealing his transformation tactics is not enough.”

“I must also seal Jaden’s Fusion tactics!”

The young man browsed the web.

Various types of cards from International Cyber Group, one after another, appeared before his eyes.

“Cards against Jaden Yuki…Cards against Jaden Yuki…”

“!”

Suddenly.

One of the newly released cards caught his attention.

“This is it!”

The young man’s face lit up with ecstatic joy.

Then, he covered his face with one hand and laughed excitedly.

“Hahaha!”

“With this card…with this card, I can defeat Jaden Yuki!”

“I—Johan Andersen! Johan Lightning!”

“I’ll make everyone know who the true No. 1 of Duel Academy is!”

“Achoo!”

In the cafeteria.

Jaden Yuki, eating the Duel Academy’s special Duel Fried Rice, couldn't help but sneeze.

“It’s rare for you to get sick, you being the Overlord.”

Yubel floated nearby.

While teasing Jaden.

Her words held a hint of concern.

“Maybe someone’s thinking about me.”

Jaden rubbed his nose.

“Thinking about you? Could it be that girl from this morning?”

“You really are quite popular, Jaden.”

Yubel looked at Jaden with a smirk.

For some reason.

Every time Jaden heard Yubel say this, he could feel a sense of sarcasm in her words.

“Hmph, what does it have to do with me…”

Jaden muttered under his breath, “I don’t know her well.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

“…..isn’t it?”

Jaden was speechless.

Have he and Asuka Tenjoin even exchanged five words?

All his knowledge of her comes from the original story, right?

“I don’t care how she feels about me, as long as I can duel.”

Jaden uttered the declaration of a Duelist with a cold voice.

As he finished speaking.

Jaden saw the golden-haired girl at the entrance of the cafeteria.

She was looking at him with a look of surprise.
