Kaiba Land, New York Branch.
Inside the dueling arena, a massive crowd cheered incessantly.
Within the spacious field, mountains, rivers, and forests,
Various simulated terrains projected by virtual facilities constantly echoed with explosions.
The roars of monsters and the bellows of dragons continuously reverberated through the different fields.
And in the very center of the arena,
A colossal 360-degree spherical screen displayed intense duels.
Inside the spherical screen,
The young man in the red jacket, using a HERO Deck,
Was undoubtedly the focus of all the spectators.
"Yay! It's Jaden~ It's Jaden!"
Jaden Yuki's parents sat among the crowd, excitedly watching the young man on the screen.
They waved their cheering sticks, though their cheers were pitifully small amidst the noisy arena,
But they still shouted and cheered with all their might for the young man on the electronic screen.
The Regional Tournament.
Adopted the typical battle royale style of professional dueling.
Each person had 3 Duel Points.
Winning a duel against a player in the region would earn 1 Duel Point.
Losers would have their corresponding points deducted.
The top sixteen duelists who accumulated 20 Duel Points would proceed to the next round of elimination in the Regional Tournament.
Finally, one regional champion would be decided to participate in the final Top Four showdown.
"Due to the effect of [Masked HERO Koga], I banish [Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman] from my Graveyard, reducing the ATK of one monster on your field by 2600 points!"
Jaden Yuki waved his Shining Flare Wingman card into his Duel Disk's banished zone.
"What?! Reduce my ATK by 2600 points?!"
The man in the suit opposite him watched his [Cosmo Queen]'s ATK drop from 2900 to 300 points, and his face instantly turned pale with shock.
"Moreover, Koga's ATK increases by 500 points for each monster on your field!"
Jaden Yuki's gaze swept over each card on the man's field.
"You have a total of four monster cards on your field."
"Therefore, [Masked HERO Koga]'s ATK is..."
"4500 points!"
The hero, clad in golden armor, shimmered with dazzling light.
"Go, Koga! Attack Cosmo Queen!"
In a flash of lightning,
Koga's body, the moment Jaden Yuki gave the command, passed through the body of the man's Cosmo Queen.
Its speed was so fast that the opponent didn't even have a sliver of reaction.
[Masked HERO]
[Koga!]
A husky mechanical voice sounded from Koga's belt.
He slowly pressed his belt, and the afterimage behind him now once again passed through Cosmo Queen's body.
"Ahhhhh!"
Amidst piercing screams,
Cosmo Queen's body instantly exploded.
The powerful impact also sent the man's body flying high into the air.
[Jaden Yuki WINS]
Watching the points on his Duel Disk increase again,
Jaden Yuki's points had now reached 20.
Which meant...
"Oh my god! The first player to gather 20 Duel Points has appeared!"
The host stood on a high elevator, observing and explaining all the duels in each region as comprehensively as possible.
Although he had already noticed the performance of various duelists on the field,
Upon seeing the "ADVANCED" notification appear on the large screen, the host was still startled by the sudden scene.
"Jaden Yuki! Duelist Jaden Yuki, with a record-breaking time of [1 hour, 44 minutes, 55 seconds], successfully obtained the 20 points required for advancement with a perfect win streak!"
"Is this, is this truly a feat that a thirteen-year-old boy can accomplish?!"
Gaining 20 points with a perfect win streak, minus the basic three.
Which meant,
Jaden Yuki had a total of seventeen duels in just 1 hour and 45 minutes!
An average of six minutes per duel!
And among them, there were not a few 1v2, or even 1v3 duels.
This was simply beyond description; it was terrifying!
"This, this guy, is he a devil?"
"Ugh, his HEROes are too strong. I couldn't even last a single turn."
"He's terrifying. This young man is simply a dimensionality reduction strike against us."
The defeated duelists all looked at Jaden Yuki's retreating figure, their eyes filled with fear.
It was too outrageous.
This young man was simply too outrageous.
Going first, he had terrifying oppressive power.
Going second, he had terrifying breakthrough power capable of breaking through anything.
This child had no weaknesses whatsoever!
Countless reporters and media instantly surrounded Jaden Yuki as he walked out of the arena.
Originally,
The doubts and rumors about Jaden Yuki, the young duelist, before the tournament,
Also disappeared without a trace, following this broken record.
Neon.
Late night.
Domino City.
The TV was broadcasting the professional dueling league from across the ocean.
Looking at the familiar young man with red clothes and brown hair on the TV.
The blonde girl, wearing home pajamas and sitting on the sofa with her legs hugged, showed a surprised expression.
"In just a few months, he has already improved to such an extent?"
"His HEROes are also different from the ones he used when he left school."
The girl swallowed, her large eyes filled with an unknown emotion.
"Yo, Alexis, still watching the professional league broadcast?" Atticus Rhodes yawned, walking down from upstairs with a water glass, looking sleepy.
"It's already past midnight... aren't you going to sleep?"
Glancing at the clock on the wall, Atticus Rhodes frowned: "Tomorrow is the first day of school. Aren't you afraid of oversleeping and being late?"
"I'm going to sleep right away."
Alexis pursed her lips and reached for the remote control beside her.
"Oh? Isn't that Jaden Yuki?"
Before Alexis could turn off the TV,
Atticus Rhodes, who was pouring water into his glass, noticed the image playing on the TV.
He recognized the young man surrounded by countless flashlights and reporters at a glance.
"What, Alexis seems to be very interested in this young man," Atticus Rhodes chuckled, looking at Alexis with a smug expression.
His greasy smile's suggestiveness was almost self-evident.
"...Brother!" Alexis frowned, glaring at Atticus Rhodes angrily: "I've been watching the matches these past few days too, alright!"
"Is that so? I seem to remember you usually don't watch so late, and mostly watch the replays the next day?"
Atticus Rhodes stroked his chin, asking suspiciously.
"You..." Alexis clenched her fists, and finally sighed helplessly.
Indeed.
She seemed to be paying too much attention to Jaden Yuki.
However, this was all because she wanted to catch up to Jaden Yuki.
Soon, Alexis found a reason in her heart.
That's right!
I want to challenge him! I want to defeat him!
To avenge that day's defeat!
But,
Jaden Yuki's progress was simply too fast.
He was able to shine so brightly even in a place like the professional league, filled with experts.
His figure seemed even more out of reach...
"I'm going to sleep!"
Alexis sighed and walked towards her room.
"Hey... the TV isn't even off yet..."
Atticus Rhodes shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to turn off the TV for his sister.
However...
Atticus Rhodes could clearly feel that
His sister's heart seemed to be a little dejected.
"Is she feeling frustrated because the target she's chasing is too far away?"
"Sigh, the hearts of teenage girls... are so hard to guess."
Atticus Rhodes shrugged, looking like a love expert.
"However, that Jaden Yuki fellow has become so strong..."
"If Syrus knew, he would probably work even harder, right?"
"Wow~ Lord Jaden! So cool!"
In a small pink bedroom,
A girl who looked like an elementary school student hid under her blanket, secretly watching the dueling league broadcast on her tablet.
Her sparkling eyes were filled with admiration and awe for the young man on the screen.
"Lord Jaden, please wait for me! I will, I will definitely catch up to Lord Jaden!"
"A girl in love is invincible, you know!"
"Rin? It's so late, aren't you asleep yet?" From outside the door, her mother's voice sounded.
The girl was startled and quickly turned off the screen, pretending to be asleep on the bed.
"Honestly..." The door opened.
Looking at the girl's room, plastered with photos of the 'red-clad, brown-haired jellyfish-headed youth.'
The woman helplessly shook her head.
"So young and already idolizing... and not learning anything good."
"But this young man does look quite handsome."
"Hmm... is his name Jaden Yuki?"
In a pristine white room,
A man in a white robe silently flipped through the Tarot cards on the table in front of him.
And on a screen to one side,
The recordings of Jaden Yuki's every duel were playing.
"Elemental HERO... Masked HERO..."
"Jaden Yuki's Deck, a product independent of fate?"
He flipped open one of the Tarot cards.
Sartorius's lips curved into a slight smile.
[The Chariot]
[The Chariot]
Is it a series of continuous victories?
Or... a fated defeat?
"Let me personally test your strength."
"Jaden Yuki."
