The Chapter get Retranslated
Professional League.
The C-Block Finals were currently unfolding in the Duel Arena.
The audience seats were packed.
Shouts and cheers rose and fell like waves.
"Jaden Yuki! Jaden Yuki! Jaden Yuki!"
Red banners fluttered in the stands.
Countless fervent fans held up Jaden Yuki's cheer signs, screaming desperately.
Standing on the elevator platform, Jaden Yuki adjusted the Duel Disk on his arm.
The shouts from outside the arena made Jaden Yuki's ears tingle.
In this world where dueling was mainstream,
as long as your dueling skills were high enough, you could gain sufficient status and fame.
Coupled with Jaden Yuki's good looks and age advantage,
the speed at which his fans gathered reached an alarming level.
Skill fans, looks fans, shota fans, and all sorts of other strange fans grew rapidly.
Last night, when Jaden Yuki was idly browsing social media, he even saw his various fan groups fighting in the Japan community.
It was truly outrageous.
"Hmph, Jaden, feeling scared?"
Yubel's phantom slowly appeared beside Jaden Yuki.
Looking at Jaden Yuki's face, she teased, "Suddenly going from ignored to a beloved superstar, are you feeling a bit overwhelmed?"
Jaden Yuki glanced at Yubel.
Yubel really enjoyed poking fun at him from time to time.
If he had known she'd be so annoying, he should have launched her and Elemental HERO Neos into space together from the start.
"I'm not interested in that kind of thing."
Taking out his communicator, Jaden Yuki looked at the screen, which displayed information about his opponent for this round.
"Hmm... Miyashita Mana..."
"Runner-up in the Professional League for two consecutive years? Lost to D.D. for two consecutive years..."
"Although she's not a character from the original series, her deck is..."
Seeing his opponent's deck information, Jaden Yuki's brows furrowed slightly.
"The highly anticipated C-Block decisive battle is about to begin!"
"First, let's welcome our genius youth, Jaden Yuki!"
The host gripped the microphone and shouted with a raised arm.
The elevator platform arrived inside the arena's dueling field.
Lights and cheers focused on Jaden Yuki the moment he appeared.
All cameras turned to this red-clad, brown-haired youth.
Across television programs worldwide, his handsome profile was broadcast at that moment.
"Jaden Yuki..."
In a room.
Alexis Rhodes hid under her blanket, solemnly watching the face on her phone screen.
"I can't believe that youth has reached this level without me noticing."
"C-Block Finals... Jaden Yuki, can you really keep going?"
"..."
Her heart was filled with anticipation.
She wanted to know how high this genius youth could climb.
In the spectator stands.
A gray-haired youth in a silver suit stood silently among the audience, watching Jaden Yuki on the giant screen in the center of the stadium.
"I can't believe he actually made it this far, just as Sartorius said."
Thinking of Sartorius,
the youth's brows furrowed, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Since that day,
after Sartorius returned from outside in disarray, he left New York and went back to Japan.
Although he didn't know what had happened,
as a friend, Aster Phoenix was still worried about Sartorius's condition.
'Be careful when dueling Jaden Yuki.'
'His strength is above yours!'
Recalling Sartorius's words to him before he left,
Aster Phoenix's gaze fixed on Jaden Yuki on the screen.
"Jaden Yuki, are you really as strong as Sartorius said?"
Aster Phoenix wasn't the only one watching Jaden Yuki.
D.D. sat in the VIP box, watching Jaden Yuki appear on the field.
He silently raised his wine glass, gently swirling it.
In his seemingly benevolent eyes, a faint white light was reflected.
"He fought his way through to here, as someone participating in the Dueling League for the first time, and he's just a thirteen-year-old child."
"Such an achievement is indeed astonishing."
"But... his opponent is not like the easy-to-defeat enemies from before."
"Jaden Yuki, will you stop here, or can you go even further?"
Amidst the overwhelming shouts, Jaden Yuki stepped onto the dueling field.
His opponent on the other side also slowly appeared in the elevator.
"Next, please welcome the runner-up of the Professional League for two consecutive terms, known as the 'Duel Queen,' Ms. Miyashita Mana!"
The host strained his voice, shouting loudly.
"Mana! Mana! Mana!"
"Queen Mana! I'm your fan, ahhhhh!"
The cheers on stage instantly rose several notches.
Jaden Yuki glanced sideways and saw a large group of otaku wearing [Mana? Queen] cheer signs, shouting wildly.
On the opposing elevator platform, a curvaceous, exceptionally beautiful blue-haired woman waved to her fans in the audience and blew them kisses.
She seemed to thoroughly enjoy being the center of attention.
"Don't get distracted during the duel later."
Yubel's untimely teasing again whispered in Jaden Yuki's ear.
He shot a sidelong glance at the spirit, snorted, and said nothing.
"Little brother Jaden, please go easy on me during the duel."
The woman named Mana threw Jaden Yuki a flirtatious wink.
Her figure, which seemed ready to burst forth with every slight movement, made Jaden Yuki unconsciously avert his eyes.
"Can't the organizers make duelists wear a uniform?"
"Hmph, you're just a kid, and yet you care about a woman's figure." Yubel sneered.
I'm hardly a kid.
Jaden Yuki grumbled internally.
And even according to his current physical age, he wasn't ignorant anymore.
"Both players prepare, Duel — begin!"
As the host's voice fell,
both Duel Disks unfolded, and they simultaneously drew five cards from their decks.
"DUEL!"
"According to the coin toss rule, the first turn goes to Ms. Mana!" the host announced loudly.
"Oh my, in that case, I'll gladly take the first turn."
Mana smiled faintly, a wink revealing her charm.
"I activate the Spell Card, [Pot of Greed]!"
"When this card is activated, I can draw two cards from my deck."
Mana sent Pot of Greed to the Graveyard, then vigorously drew two cards from the top of her deck.
With this exertion, her ample chest began to jiggle with the motion.
In the stands, a few otaku immediately "died" on the spot, fainting from excitement.
"Little brother Jaden, I really like a cute young man with your personality." Mana looked at the cards she drew, then smiled and said, "Making it this far proves your talent, little brother Jaden."
"However, this is as far as you go."
As her words fell, Mana's smile gradually receded, and a sharp glint appeared in her eyes.
"Let me show you, little brother Jaden, why I'm called the 'Duel Queen'."
"I Normal Summon [Edea the Heavenly Squire] in Attack Position."
[Edea the Heavenly Squire]
[Level: 1]
[ATK: 800, DEF: 1000]
As the light effect shimmered,
a female knight in silver armor appeared on Mana's field.
Here it comes!
Jaden Yuki's heart tensed.
Monarch Deck!
Before the duel, when Jaden Yuki saw this deck, he felt a hint of surprise.
He hadn't expected to see someone using a Monarch Deck in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX era.
And, it was a woman.
The power of the Monarch Deck was undeniable.
Even in the current environment, Jaden Yuki couldn't guarantee that his Elemental HEROes could perfectly counter a well-run Monarch Deck.
And in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX World... to what extent had the Monarch Deck evolved?
"When [Edea the Heavenly Squire] is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon one monster with 800 ATK and 1000 DEF from my Deck in Defense Position!"
"I Special Summon [Berlineth the Firestorm Vassal] from my Deck!"
[Berlineth the Firestorm Vassal]
[Level: 1]
[ATK: 800, DEF: 1000]
A fiery light effect rose on the field.
A knight in a blue cape appeared beside [Edea the Heavenly Squire].
"Then, I activate the Spell Card [Double Summon]!"
Mana smiled, "This turn, I can perform a second Normal Summon."
"..." Jaden Yuki frowned deeply.
"I Tribute [Berlineth the Firestorm Vassal] and [Edea the Heavenly Squire] on my field to Tribute Summon!"
Buzz Buzz
Circles of summoning arrays rose beneath the two monsters' feet.
Accompanied by a burst of flames,
Mana revealed a card from her hand.
"Come forth, [Thestalos the Mega Monarch]!"
Boom!
Flames instantly spread.
Amidst the shock and exclamations of the surrounding audience,
intense flames burned on the dueling platform.
A tall figure clad in pale red armor landed heavily on the field, scattering sparks.
"This... this deck..."
Far away in Japan.
Alexis Rhodes, hiding under her blanket and watching the duel, her expression changed.
She looked at the screen, a drop of cold sweat running down her forehead.
"Oh no... Jaden Yuki, he..."
