Pegasus...

Jaden Yuki wasn't overly surprised to see the caller's name.

As the 'Father of Duel Monsters' and president of Industrial Illusions,

he naturally paid great attention to this rising star in the dueling world.

"Jaden boy, long time no see."

"It's been a year since we last met at the Duel League, hasn't it?"

"I heard Jaden boy has reported to Duel Academy in Domino City, is that right?"

Pegasus's voice came from the other end of the line after Jaden answered the call.

"Yes, Mr. Pegasus, is there something you need me for?"

Jaden Yuki asked.

"Jaden boy, you can see Duel Spirits, can't you?"

On the other end of the phone, Pegasus stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the city view outside.

"Mm..." Jaden Yuki didn't deny it.

In the Dueling World,

there were quite a few people who could see Duel Spirits.

Such people were generally known as Spirit Users.

In the original Yu-Gi-Oh! GX storyline,

Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Jesse Anderson.

These three were chosen by spirits and could see the spirits' existence.

And over the years, with the amplification of the Supreme King's power within Jaden,

more and more people had noticed that Jaden Yuki was different.

Not just Pegasus.

Even those legendary duelists were silently paying attention to this child.

"Jaden boy, have you heard of Shadow Games?"

Pegasus asked.

Shadow Game...

Hearing this term, Jaden Yuki's eyes narrowed.

"According to reports, a duelist claiming to use Shadow Games has appeared in Domino City."

"Many people have already fallen victim to him."

"While there's no direct evidence to suggest his motives,"

"as a boy who can see spirits,"

"Jaden boy, you must always be careful."

After listening to Pegasus,

Jaden Yuki was silent for a moment.

Then, Jaden Yuki said calmly, "Mr. Pegasus calling me shouldn't just be to remind me of these things, right?"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.

Then, a burst of laughter erupted.

"Indeed, Jaden boy, you are a smart one."

"As a Spirit User, you are the only one who can deal with Shadow Games."

"If you encounter that person, I hope Jaden boy can help resolve this matter."

The sound of the phone hanging up came from the other end.

"Ah, I will."

Putting his phone back in his pocket,

orange light flickered in Jaden Yuki's eyes.

Shadow Games.

He happened to need some sustenance to enhance his Supreme King's power.

Even if Pegasus hadn't entrusted him with this,

Jaden Yuki would have actively sought out such individuals.

"Jaden, are you going?" Yubel's figure slowly emerged behind Jaden. "The academy's welcome party is about to start."

"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all, does it?"

"Besides, aren't you excited, Yubel?"

"We can fight side by side again."

Jaden Yuki opened the backpack on his bed and took out his Duel Disk, attaching it to his left arm.

The latest model of Duel Disk, full of technology and metallic feel, flashed red lights upon contact with Jaden's left arm.

Yubel smiled faintly.

A dim green light appeared in her eyes.

"Ah... I am very excited."

"Let's go, Jaden."

"Let our opponent witness our power."

...

The freshman welcome party for Duel Academy Junior High was currently underway in the academy's upscale Western-style restaurant.

The newly enrolled freshmen,

all dressed in Duel Academy's light blue uniforms, held drinks and mingled with other new students.

In the dance hall, accompanied by elegant music,

young men and women danced graceful and moving ballroom dances in pairs.

Such a luxurious banquet,

it felt as if one had returned to the Middle Ages, experiencing a European aristocratic feast.

"My beautiful lady, would you care to dance with me?"

A boy walked up to Alexis Rhodes, who was standing in the corner.

He made a pretentious bow, hoping to impress the exquisitely beautiful girl before him.

However, Alexis merely responded with a smile and declined his invitation.

"I'm sorry, I don't like dancing."

"..."

Watching the boy walk away dejectedly,

Jasmine and Mindy, who were beside her, couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

"Seriously, how many handsome guys has Alexis rejected already?"

"Exactly, people have been coming up to Alexis non-stop since earlier."

"After all, Alexis was the elementary school's campus belle since childhood, so if nothing unexpected happens, she'll definitely be the top campus belle at Duel Academy."

Listening to her two best friends tease her,

Alexis sighed helplessly.

"You two..."

Sometimes Alexis wondered.

Were these two friends of hers here to study at Duel Academy, or to snag a rich boyfriend?

"Oh, by the way, that handsome guy we saw this afternoon isn't here."

"Are you talking about Jaden Yuki? You're right, I don't see him among the students either."

Hearing her two best friends' conversation, Alexis looked up and scanned the people around her.

Indeed.

The boy named Jaden Yuki hadn't shown up at the freshman welcome party.

"He's really an aloof guy, not even coming to the welcome party."

"But don't you think that kind of personality is a little bit cool?"

"Cool is cool, but if we can't see him..."

Alexis: "..."

She couldn't understand.

Why couldn't Jasmine and Mindy talk about anything other than handsome guys?
