"Judai Yuki!" Asuka Tenjoin rushed into the classroom, her face flushed with urgency.
With one glance, she saw the black-clothed youth in the corner of the classroom, leaning back in his chair and playing on his phone. Brown jellyfish-like hair, an indifferent expression, handsome profile. From a distance, the youth exuded a unique and extremely captivating charm.
However, Asuka was not in the mood to admire the youth's appearance. She frowned and strode towards Judai Yuki.
'Bang.' Her palm slammed fiercely onto the desk in front of Judai Yuki.
Judai Yuki paused, then finally glanced at the message 'Pegasus' had sent him on his phone, closed the phone, and looked at Asuka.
"What's wrong? Tenjoin-san?" In Judai Yuki's memory, Asuka Tenjoin rarely seemed so flustered. And judging by her expression, she seemed a little angry? Judai Yuki didn't remember doing anything to provoke her. The last time he spoke to her must have been a week ago at the Campus Duel Festival, right?
"May I ask, why are you condoning your subordinates engaging in card gambling duels at the academy?"
"Don't you know that card gambling duels are strictly forbidden at the academy, Judai Yuki!"
"If you indulge your subordinates like this, it will only lead to them being expelled from the academy!" Asuka said angrily, looking at Judai Yuki.
These words left Judai Yuki with a head full of question marks. Leaving aside the card gambling duels for a moment, what was this about subordinates?
Judai Yuki was bewildered. Did he even have subordinates in this life? Sho Marufuji? No, Sho Marufuji wasn't supposed to appear until three years later in the plot. And with that "lump of dung" image, Judai Yuki had no intention of associating himself with him. How did he suddenly end up with a subordinate out of nowhere?
"Sorry, what's going on exactly? What subordinate? I have no idea," Judai Yuki asked somewhat innocently.
"You..." Stunned by Judai Yuki's question, Asuka seemed to realize that Judai Yuki genuinely didn't know anything. She fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Haven't you heard about the 'Underworld Duel Club' that recently appeared at the academy?"
Underworld Duel... Club?
"I never concern myself with clubs or anything like that," Judai Yuki said calmly. "And what does that club have to do with me?"
"Because the president of that club is named after you!" Asuka couldn't help but exclaim.
This guy, someone else registered a club in your name at the academy, and you don't even know about something like that! Asuka sighed helplessly. "The people in that club seem to be your fans."
"The decks and tactics they use are also extreme imitations of your decks."
"In short, they're using your name to constantly duel against other clubs at the academy. If they win, they force the losers to join that Underworld Duel Club, and they even take away their rare cards."
"Since this club appeared a week ago, at least dozens of people have already lost to them." Asuka Tenjoin said somewhat angrily.
"Oh." Having heard the whole story, Judai Yuki nodded indifferently.
"You, aren't you going to do something about it?" Asuka asked, looking at the completely uninterested Judai Yuki.
"I have more important things to do." Judai Yuki shook his head, stood up, and walked out of the classroom.
"Hey! Class is about to start!" Asuka's voice rang out from behind. But Judai Yuki had already walked far away, seemingly planning to skip class.
"Honestly... why would heaven give such excellent dueling skills to a guy like this...?" Asuka rubbed her forehead, utterly helpless.
...
Back in his dorm, Judai Yuki lay on his bed, looking at the messages Pegasus had sent him on his phone.
[Judai boy, this year's Duel League will be held in New York.]
[Interested in participating in this league?]
[Among the opponents in this league, there's a genius boy about your age.]
A genius boy about his age, huh... In Judai Yuki's mind, a figure appeared.
"Aster... Phoenix."
That young man from the original work who, using the power of the Light of Destruction, inflicted a crushing defeat on Judai Yuki. But it was also because of him that Judai gained new powers and a new space.
However, in his current state, he had many ways to defeat him. Moreover, a battle with him might even allow him to unlock the [Vision Hero] and [Destiny Hero] cards sealed by the system. No matter how he thought about it, this was a duel he absolutely had to attend.
But if he wanted to go to the Duel League... his number of absences might be too high. If he took a few more months off, he might be advised to withdraw from Duel Academy. Judai Yuki frowned, falling into thought.
On one side was his studies, on the other, the opportunity to unlock new card decks.
Hmm... Judai Yuki opened his eyes.
School is less important than dueling!
