A month later.
With the final evaluation of the third-year students coming to an end.
The middle school department was about to welcome the students' vacation.
And recently, the most talked about thing was the duel between Marufuji Ryo, the top student in the third grade, and Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou, the top student in the first grade.
Both were the top geniuses of their respective grades.
One of them had already been confirmed to enter the Duel Academy's higher department.
The other, about to step onto the professional league, was a rising star on the professional stage.
This duel naturally became the focus of the entire school.
Inside the gymnasium, the competition field had been set up.
The brand-new Duel Facilities, which the Duel Academy would only bring out on important occasions.
Marufuji Ryo stood below the duel stage, arms crossed, silently watching the stage.
“Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou......”
He looked forward to his encounter with Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou.
It was a near-destined collision between geniuses.
He wanted to constantly improve his dueling, and wanted to challenge even stronger opponents.
And Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou was, at this moment, Marufuji Ryo's ultimate goal in the Duel Academy.
To this end, a month ago, at the school's Duel Festival, he left the academy and went to his master, Samejima, to deepen his study of the "Electronic Stream" dueling style.
“Will the evolved Electronic Stream be the opponent of your “Hero,” Tenjou?”
......
July.
The last day before the Duel Academy's summer vacation.
All teachers and students gathered in the gymnasium.
The spacious gymnasium was now filled with Duel Academy students.
Almost everyone was looking forward to this duel.
Everyone wanted to know, which of these two geniuses would be the better.
In the crowd.
Asuka stood among the students, her face serious as she looked at the duel stage.
At this moment, Marufuji Ryo, having donned his duel disk, stood on the duel stage.
But Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou was nowhere to be seen.
However, there was still half an hour before the duel, and everyone was in no hurry.
It's just.
Looking at the empty spot in front of Marufuji Ryo.
Asuka's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
“Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou, is this your last duel in the middle school department?”
After this, who knows how long it will be until they meet again.
“I can't believe that Ryo's last duel before he goes to higher school would be against Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou......”
“Eh? Brother?”
Tenjōin Fubuki's voice suddenly rang out in Asuka's ears.
Looking at Fubuki, who appeared beside her with a playful grin, Asuka's serious expression instantly became somewhat subtle.
“What are you doing here?”
“Hey, this is a duel involving my good friend Ryo, of course I would be here.” Tenjōin Fubuki chuckled, “Speaking of which, Ryo looks very handsome today, don't you think?”
“Do you want me to introduce you?”
“Hm?” Asuka glanced at Fubuki with a tilt of her head.
That dangerous look made Fubuki immediately shut up.
“Hehehe, just kidding, just kidding.”
Scratching his head, Fubuki let out a dry laugh.
“Hmph...”
Asuka crossed her arms and turned to the side.
“Hey! Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou is here!”
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted.
Everyone turned their gaze towards the entrance.
They saw a young man with a black jacket, sporting brown jellyfish hair, wearing a Duel Disk, walking in from the door.
“Ah! Tenjou-kun!”
Among the crowd, several teenage girls let out a small scream.
It has to be said that Tenjou, with his seemingly cold demeanor, did indeed have the charm to make teenage girls scream.
Not only girls.
Even some boys couldn't help but feel a bit captivated.
Regardless of gender, everyone's eyes sparkled with stars as they gazed at Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou.
The entire gymnasium was filled with a strong atmosphere of Yu-Gi-Oh.
“Caesar, I'm here.”
Ignoring the strange looks from the crowd as best he could, Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou walked onto the duel stage and looked at Marufuji Ryo.
This duel with Marufuji Ryo was also something Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou had been thinking about these past few days, while also contemplating the duel league.
The Electronic Dragon deck had immense destructive power against "Shadow" decks.
Coupled with the Electronic Dragons' not-so-weak OTK capability, in an era where everyone only had 4000 LP, it was very easy to achieve a one-shot kill.
In the duel against Marufuji Ryo, even the slightest misstep could lead to a complete defeat.
However.
Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou would not abandon his path of the "Shadow Hero".
Therefore, today, he had specially prepared a few cards for Marufuji Ryo.
He hoped that the third-year top student would remember the name Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou for the rest of his life.
“Tenjou, let's begin, our duel.”
Marufuji Ryo activated his Duel Disk and looked at Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou.
“Yes, Caesar.”
Yu-Gi-Oh Tenjou also activated his Duel Disk.
Under the watchful eyes of the students, both drew five cards from their decks.
“DUEL!”
