Night fell.
Obelisk Blue, girls' dorm.
Inside the bathroom, girls' voices occasionally drifted out.
"Wow, Alexis's figure is so good, I'm so envious."
"Don't stare like that..."
"Mindy looks a lot more voluptuous too~"
"Hey! Jasmine, where are you touching?!"
In the spacious bathroom, three girls were soaking in the tub, playfully splashing each other.
Compared to her two playful best friends, Jasmine and Mindy, Alexis Rhodes, who was soaking on one side of the tub, seemed much colder.
She gently washed her long hair, her eyes slightly closed, recalling Jaden Yuki and Chazz Princeton's Duel from last night.
"Can he even pull off such a combo with a Deck that only has Spell Cards and Trap Cards?"
"Jaden Yuki, both his skill and his draw luck are ridiculously strong..."
That Runick Deck, with D.D. Dynamite teched in, didn't seem particularly brilliant in terms of its effect.
What's more, the success rate of that Deck, as Alexis later calculated through simulations online, was less than thirty percent.
Yet, even with such a low-probability Deck, Jaden Yuki managed to use it almost perfectly.
Jaden Yuki... he's truly a Duelist favored by the heavens.
"Alexis~ Why have you been so quiet since earlier?" Jasmine and Mindy noticed Alexis's silence.
Although Alexis was the coldest among their trio of best friends, it was rare for her to be so taciturn today.
"Oh, it's nothing, I was just thinking about the Duel," Alexis chuckled.
"Eh? Dueling, huh..." Jasmine and Mindy exchanged glances, looking bored. "So boring..."
Alexis gave a helpless, wry smile.
As Duelists, did they really find Dueling boring?
Why did you two even come to Duel Academy?
"Speaking of which, there aren't any handsome guys among this year's new students."
"Yeah, that's right. The Slifer Red guys are all so plain, and there aren't many memorable faces in Ra Yellow either."
"So disappointing. The only one who's somewhat handsome, Jaden Yuki, is notoriously unsociable. Speaking of which, he only attended one class today, right?"
"That's right, he only attended Professor Banner's class, not even Professor Crowler's."
"What a weirdo. The strangest thing is that Professor Crowler doesn't even seem angry."
As Jasmine and Mindy chatted, their conversation shifted from handsome guys to Jaden Yuki.
For students like them who had known Jaden Yuki since junior high, his personality was naturally not surprising.
But for the new students, Jaden Yuki's personality seemed a bit too carefree.
Alexis closed her eyes, silently listening to Jasmine and Mindy's conversation.
Although she remained silent, hearing Jaden Yuki's name still made Alexis feel an involuntary surge of irritation.
"Alexis, do you think a guy like Jaden Yuki would really have girls who like him?" Mindy and Jasmine looked at Alexis, asking with confusion, "Even though he's handsome, with a personality that's almost cut off from humanity, girls can only admire him from afar, right?"
Like?!
"What, what does that have to do with me! What like or dislike!" Alexis's heart pounded, and she suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
"Huh?"
Mindy and Jasmine were startled, thinking they had said something wrong.
"Cough, cough, I mean, a person like Jaden Yuki... let him be," realizing her reaction was too intense, Alexis clenched her fist and gave an awkward smile.
"The next thing we need to focus on is this month's first monthly exam, right?"
"That's true too." Jasmine and Mindy exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in the other's eyes.
"Alright, I'm done soaking, I'm heading back to the dorm now."
Alexis dried her hair and turned to walk out of the bathroom.
"Ah, Jaden Yuki!"
Jasmine suddenly pointed outside the window and shrieked.
"Eh?" Alexis's body trembled, and she quickly turned her head to look outside the window, instinctively covering herself with a bath towel.
However, there was no one outside the window, only a quiet dark night.
"Hehehe, this is the girls' dorm, how could a boy come here?"
"Exactly, Alexis, what are you worried about, hahahaha."
Looking at her two best friends laughing heartily in the tub.
Alexis's face immediately flushed crimson, and she hurried out.
Damn it.
It's all Jaden Yuki's fault for being too strong.
If she couldn't defeat him... if she couldn't defeat him.
Gritting her teeth, Alexis found the most bizarre reason for herself.
"That's right, I must defeat Jaden Yuki to get rid of the nightmare in my heart!"
".Achoo."
Obelisk Blue, boys' dorm.
Jaden Yuki sat in front of his computer, letting out a small sneeze.
Rubbing his nose, Jaden Yuki continued to look at the communication content on the computer.
On the other end of the communication was Maximillion Pegasus, the president of Industrial Illusions.
[There have been some problems with the creation of new cards.]
Some things in the message seemed to be telling Jaden Yuki that the creation of 'Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring' was not that easy.
[Jaden boy, the power of that Spirit seems to come from an unknown and distant world.]
[Although traces of this Spirit can be found on stone tablets from around the world, that unknown power seems difficult to channel with current technology.]
[If it were channeled, not only Duel Monsters, but the entire world might be greatly changed by it.]
[However, we will still do our best to uncover the secrets of this Spirit.]
[And in correlation, we have also discovered other Spirits similar in power to this one.]
[Jaden boy, the designers are stepping up research on these card Spirits, please look forward to it.]
"It seems card creation has hit a bottleneck."
Jaden Yuki didn't care much.
After all, the cards he currently had were enough for him to use.
The others were just icing on the cake.
Thump, thump, thump.
Just as Jaden Yuki was about to turn off his computer and take a shower.
A knock sounded at the door.
"Coming."
Glancing at the time, nine in the evening, Jaden Yuki didn't know who would visit him so late, but he still walked over and opened the door.
As he opened the door, Jaden Yuki saw the smiling face of a Pot of Greed staring back at him with a grin.
"Uh... Professor Crowler?"
Jaden Yuki's eyelid twitched. Even the Supreme King couldn't help but feel a bit speechless seeing that face so late at night.
"Hehehehe, Jaden-kun, Jaden-kun didn't come to my class today, so I was wondering if Jaden-kun wasn't feeling well, and came to check on you personally~"
Professor Crowler shook the small gift box in his hand, his smile almost reaching his ears.
"Ah... this..."
Jaden Yuki was torn between laughter and tears.
Although in the original work, Professor Crowler had a very bad attitude towards poor students like Jaden Yuki in the early stages.
But that was only limited to poor students.
Towards excellent students, Professor Crowler always valued their talent.
Especially those once-in-a-century excellent students, he would give them preferential treatment beyond other students.
"Professor Crowler, you came to see me so late, it can't be just for this, can it?"
Jaden Yuki took the gift box from Professor Crowler's hand and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, for this month's practical exam, the Academy will be holding matches between dorm mates," Professor Crowler rubbed his hands, looking at Jaden Yuki with a fawning expression. "However, for some students who have already met the promotion standards, there will be cross-level Duels."
"However, in my eyes, some students haven't quite reached the standard for promotion to Obelisk Blue, so I hope Jaden-kun can substitute in a cross-level Duel during this month's exam."
"Cross-level Duel? Who is on the promotion list this time?" Jaden Yuki asked curiously.
"It's Bastion Misawa from Ra Yellow. Although he passed the written exam, Bastion's practical skills haven't met the promotion standard yet,"
Professor Crowler chuckled.
Of course.
That wasn't the main reason.
The main reason was that Professor Crowler wanted to show the other dorm leaders how strong his Obelisk Blue dorm was.
After all, being so concerned with his reputation, he wanted to rely on Jaden Yuki's strength to bring him some glory.
