"Duel Academy's entrance practical exam will begin next week."
"With Jaden boy's abilities, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
After settling the card matters with Jaden Yuki, Pegasus informed Jaden Yuki about next week's assessment.
"Hmm, although there won't be a problem, the Duel Academy entrance exam also requires a written test, right?"
Jaden Yuki exchanged another popsicle with the store attendant using his empty popsicle stick.
He asked while eating.
"Jaden boy doesn't need to worry about such small matters. Seto Kaiba will handle those things for you."
"Ah, that's good."
Jaden Yuki nodded.
After chatting for a bit and asking Pegasus to talk to his parents, Jaden Yuki hung up the phone.
"Tsk tsk, having a big shot as a backer really makes things convenient wherever you go."
Jaden Yuki couldn't help but sigh.
Ever since he inexplicably got involved with the previous protagonist's storyline in this life, Jaden Yuki had an unobstructed path in the dueling world.
At least in the human world, Jaden Yuki wouldn't have to worry about anything.
"Jaden, have you decided to return to Duel Academy?" Yubel's figure appeared beside Jaden Yuki.
Those heterochromatic eyes silently stared at Jaden's back.
"Ah, I'm definitely going back. After all, there are many things that still need to be resolved at Duel Academy."
Jaden Yuki nodded.
After settling the matters at Duel Academy, he could leave Japan without any worries, just like his original self, and travel everywhere, right?
"Jaden-kun, want to come in for a duel? There's a spot open."
The store attendant waved from inside the shop.
"Ah, coming!"
Jaden Yuki's eyes lit up, and he hurried into the card shop.
Having not dueled for two years, Jaden Yuki was itching to play.
This time, he had to thoroughly release two years of his dueling addiction.
Today would be a long-awaited day of card shop massacre.
Many years later, such legends still circulated in the small town's card shop.
It was said that a legendary duelist would duel in this card shop every ten years.
And each time, hundreds of duelists would suffer a crushing defeat at his hands.
Although he didn't know how Pegasus communicated with his parents.
After returning home, his parents also had a long talk with Jaden Yuki.
Perhaps they also realized that their son was extraordinary.
Regarding Jaden Yuki's future, they decided to let Jaden choose for himself.
Soon, a week passed in a flash.
Domino City.
Kaiba Land.
Inside the office, the Duel Academy examiners were all ready.
Outside Kaiba Land, the examinees were also nervously lining up, waiting for the upcoming assessment.
However, compared to these nervous examinees.
Inside the examination hall, one figure seemed even more nervous than these examinees.
Dressed in a blue robe, with golden kappa hair, and the unassuming appearance of the Pot of Greed.
The man tightly bit the handkerchief in his hand, his face filled with panic.
"Mama mia, the Headmaster said there's that legendary genius professional player among today's examinees, and he wants me to preside over his duel! This, this is too much, noneh!"
"Professor Crowler, please don't be so nervous, okay?"
"You're making us all a little nervous."
"That's right, since he's a genius professional player, it's not a big deal even if you lose, right?"
The surrounding examiners broke out in helpless sweat.
"No! No! No!" Professor Crowler waved his hand emphatically. "You don't understand! This, this is my first time dueling a professional duelist!"
"When that happens, reporters and the media will definitely come to interview on a large scale, so, so..."
Professor Crowler wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out a small mirror to check his makeup. "My image absolutely cannot be problematic, noneh!"
Everyone was speechless.
"But, I heard that genius boy isn't entering through the regular examination."
"That's right, and KaibaCorp has also strictly sealed all information about the boy. Besides us few examiners, no one else knows, right?"
"So, there won't be any media or anything like that."
"Huh?!" Hearing the other examiners, Professor Crowler was stunned.
"No, no media interviews?"
"Certainly not... for an entrance exam..."
"Then, all the preparations I made..."
"You definitely don't need to make any preparations."
Professor Crowler fell silent for a moment, then deflated like a punctured ball.
"However, even so, it wouldn't look good if a Duel Academy professor were to lose too badly in front of a child, right?"
"Indeed."
The examiners chuckled.
Hiss.
Professor Crowler's mouth twitched.
"No! I must go all out, noneh!"
As the time for the practical examination arrived.
The examinees entered one after another.
The auditorium of Kaiba Land's examination hall also gradually filled with people.
Among them were not only the examinees waiting for the assessment.
But also some honor students who had already completed the assessment, entered the Duel Academy Higher Division, and joined the 'Obelisk Blue' dorm.
"Jaden-kun, I heard there will be some incredible new students in this entrance exam, is that true?"
"No matter how strong the new students are, they definitely won't be stronger than Chazz Princeton, the #1 student in the Junior High, right? Hahaha."
Chazz Princeton, dressed in his blue dorm uniform, stood with his arms crossed, coldly watching the examination area divided into six sections.
The flattery of his two subordinates seemed like air to him.
The small title of #1 in the Junior High was not what he was striving for.
Now, he had to become the #1 in the Higher Division to make everyone aware of his existence.
On the top floor corridor.
Alexis Rhodes had already changed into her Obelisk Blue dorm uniform, resting her face on the railing, calmly watching the ongoing examination.
Beside her, Zane Truesdale stood with his arms crossed, his brow slightly furrowed.
"Sorry, this is all I could find out."
"Atticus' disappearance is very likely related to that abandoned dorm. Apart from that, the Academy has sealed all other information."
Looking at a photo Zane Truesdale handed her.
Alexis Rhodes silently took it, forcing a faint smile.
"Thank you, Zane-senpai."
"Don't mention it. As a friend, I also want to do my part to find Atticus and Yusuke."
Zane Truesdale sighed, his gaze turning to the dueling field.
"You also came back to the Higher Division for this, right?"
"Yes, but finding my brother is only one of my goals."
Alexis Rhodes smiled wryly, "I also want to become a professional player of my own free will."
"Become a professional player, huh?"
Zane Truesdale chuckled, looking into the distance with his arms crossed.
"Are you also aiming to follow in that person's footsteps?"
"..." Alexis Rhodes paused, then smiled and nodded.
"Yes."
"After losing to someone so powerful, how could I not want to improve?"
