The duel was over.
Jaden Yuki caught Asuka, who was hiding in the crowd, watching secretly.
Grabbing her arm, Jaden Yuki dragged her out.
"You did this?"
Cornering Asuka in the corridor, Jaden Yuki unfolded the promotional poster in his hand in front of her.
On the poster, it clearly read, "Drink Coffee, Challenge Jaden Yuki."
"I'm sorry, I did this without your permission..."
However, to Jaden Yuki's surprise,
Asuka didn't argue, immediately admitting her mistake respectfully.
"Because Jaden is so famous, I wanted to use your fame to draw more attention to the event hosted by our class."
"If I caused you any trouble, I apologize deeply!"
Asuka bowed deeply.
This attitude of admitting her mistake made Jaden Yuki feel a little embarrassed to say anything more.
"I'm not trying to blame you... Next time, you should tell me about things like this first."
Sighing, the displeasure in Jaden Yuki's heart subsided.
He had no objection to the duel.
After all, as a card player, he was willing to do anything as long as he could play cards.
But these strange women weren't here for the cards, were they?
And their duel skills were just too weak.
He had duelled so many people in a row, and the system didn't even give him a single Duel Point.
"So, Jaden, are you allowing us to use your name to attract customers?"
Asuka's eyes lit up.
After the morning's promotion, utilizing Jaden Yuki's fame had attracted a lot of customers.
If he allowed it...
"No, I, can't."
Without any hesitation, Jaden Yuki threw down those three words and turned to leave.
Just kidding.
Once was enough, did they want a second time?
"I knew it..."
Asuka chuckled.
Seeing Asuka following behind him, Jaden Yuki frowned.
"What are you following me for?"
"You're going to find someone to duel with, right?"
Asuka said without hesitation, "I want to observe your duel and learn your dueling techniques."
She was truly straightforward.
But... what duel techniques could you learn from a reaper?
Jaden Yuki was quite puzzled by this.
"Fine, suit yourself."
Jaden Yuki put his hands in his pockets, ignoring Asuka beside him.
Right now, he was ready to scout out an opponent for a duel.
He vaguely remembered.
A month ago, Ryo Marufuji seemed to have invited him to duel.
"Let's go find him."
Beep beep beep.
Jaden Yuki was just about to go to the third-year elite class to find Ryo Marufuji.
The phone in his pocket beeped with a message.
"Huh? Who would be at this time..."
Jaden Yuki took out his phone and saw a message from someone.
【Jaden Yuki, come to the Academy Square, duel with me】
"Who is it, a middle schooler?"
Jaden Yuki deleted the message with a look of disdain.
The number was unfamiliar, and there wasn't even a signature.
Just "duel with me," who is this "me"?
Who knows who sent this duel invitation?
There are so many people in the square, I can't go ask each one, can I?
"What's wrong?" Asuka asked curiously.
"Nothing."
Jaden Yuki responded indifferently.
Seeing this, Asuka closed her mouth and didn't ask any more questions.
...
In the square.
The duel stage, built with funding from the Tenjo family, made a grand appearance in front of everyone.
Tenjo Kenzan stood on the stage, his arm wearing a Duel Disk, arms crossed, a serious expression on his face.
A crowd of onlookers had gradually gathered around.
Looking at Tenjo Kenzan, motionless, as steady as a mountain.
People started to whisper.
"I heard this guy is going to challenge Jaden Yuki."
"Jaden Yuki? Isn't that the champion of the Duel League?"
"Yeah, who is this guy? Why would he challenge the Duel League champion?"
"You guys are dumb, this is Tenjo Kenzan, the third son of the Tenjo family. Don't you see the Tenjo family logo on all these duel facilities?"
"Tenjo Kenzan? I heard he's also a phenomenal dueling prodigy, second only to Jaden Yuki in the first year, right?"
"Anyway, there's going to be a good show."
Time passed minute by minute.
Ten minutes... half an hour... one hour.
The onlookers came and went, most of them already impatient, shaking their heads and leaving.
Only a small number remained, still talking in low voices.
"..."
Tenjo Kenzan stood on the stage with his arms crossed.
He had been in this posture for an hour.
His legs were starting to feel numb.
"Jaden Yuki..."
Tenjo Kenzan's face turned a little ugly.
Did that guy not notice the challenge letter I sent him?
Or maybe he just doesn't want to accept the challenge, doesn't take me seriously?
Thinking about it.
Tenjo Kenzan's face became even uglier.
Damn it...
That arrogant guy.
