Compared to Zane Truesdale's view of Jaden Yuki, Jaden's own inner world appeared much calmer.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.
'Why... hasn't this guy left yet...?'
Admittedly.
Towards Hell Kaiser Zane from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Jaden Yuki still held a slight respect.
And towards the Cyber Dragon Deck, which fought tirelessly in OCG and consistently held its position as the gatekeeper of "fun decks," Jaden Yuki also harbored a certain reverence.
Whenever he recalled the sight of Kaiser struggling desperately in OCG from his wheelchair, Jaden Yuki couldn't help but feel a pang of melancholy.
Don't you see, Heroes have already reached the second-tier of OCG with the help of new cards.
But Cyber Dragon, however...
Cough.
I'm getting off-topic.
Jaden Yuki's inner solitude, at its core, differed from Zane Truesdale's inner pride. Zane's pride yearned to be understood. But Jaden Yuki's solitude completely rejected forming connections with anyone.
"Jaden Yuki, next month, Duel Academy will hold a campus Duel Festival."
"At that time, every student can freely choose their duel opponent from across the entire school."
Zane Truesdale looked at Jaden Yuki.
"Duel me then."
Jaden Yuki did not answer. He simply lay on the rooftop, leisurely basking in the sun.
Seeing no response from Jaden Yuki, Zane Truesdale didn't get angry. He simply interpreted Jaden Yuki's indifference as the pride of a genius.
Zane Truesdale turned and left. The rooftop, at this moment, quieted down again. Only faint breezes swept across the rooftop.
"Campus Duel Festival..."
Jaden Yuki opened his eyes and drew a card from his Deck.
His eyes, shining with the light of the Supreme King, were now silently looking at a Spell Card in his hand.
[Dark Fusion]
This was a symbol of the Supreme King's power. Similarly, with it, Jaden could summon the strongest Hero in his current Deck...
But ever since he obtained this card, Jaden had never used it. It wasn't because Jaden couldn't control this extremely evil power. It was because...
He had no opponent...
To this day, none of the Duelists he had encountered had pushed Jaden Yuki to the point of using this card.
"I hope to meet someone who can make me use this card during this Duel Festival..."
"Though, I don't really think it's likely."
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, then stretched, flipped over, and jumped from the rooftop to the ground of the terrace.
"Come on, time to go back to class."
"That's rare. You're actually willingly going to class..." Yubel looked at Jaden Yuki with some surprise.
"After all, Duel Academy's attendance rate is still very important. Ultimately, I still want to advance to the next level of education."
Jaden Yuki said with a smile, hands in his pockets.
Watching Jaden Yuki leave the rooftop, Yubel fell silent.
He actually still wants to advance to the next level of education...
Sometimes, the things Jaden did, the words he spoke, were truly somewhat incomprehensible.
...
Duel Academy's Campus Duel Festival had essentially become an annual tradition. It was similar to a school anniversary celebration. But compared to ordinary schools, Duel Academy's anniversary naturally focused on dueling.
Starting a week ago, the academy had already begun preparations for this year's Campus Duel Festival. And Jaden Yuki's class's task was to create a relatively ordinary "Duel Monsters"-themed Duel Cafe.
One could cosplay as card monsters, duel, and even enjoy coffee at the same time. No matter how one thought about it, it was a pleasant activity.
And the one responsible for planning this activity was Alexis Rhodes, who was ranked at the top of the academy in both grades and appearance.
"Why do teachers always like to ask me to do these kinds of things..."
To this, Alexis had no way to refuse, other than a helpless wry smile. After all, compared to a certain "honor student" who only attended one out of three classes a day, Alexis, who was well-behaved and obedient, and also had considerable prestige among students, was more suitable to be in charge of this matter.
"So, the areas everyone is responsible for have been arranged. Are there any objections?"
Standing on the podium, Alexis wrote down the names of the person in charge for each area on the blackboard.
"No problem~"
Clearly, the students below had no objections and unanimously agreed.
"Very good." Alexis breathed a sigh of relief. This wasn't her first time in such a role. In elementary school, being excellent and well-behaved, she was always recommended by teachers to be in charge of these activities. So she also knew very well.
If there was even one troublesome "headache" among these students, it would add a lot of trouble to an already difficult task.
Hmm...
As for this so-called headache, Alexis glanced at Jaden Yuki, who was sitting in the furthest corner, looking at his phone, seemingly not paying any attention to what was happening.
A wry smile appeared on her face. That's exactly how you'd describe a guy like him.
