All the students present were in a state of shock.
It was unclear if the shock was due to seeing a new HERO,
or being impressed by Jaden Yuki's strength.
"The winner of this assessment is—Jaden Yuki!"
Professor Crowler seized the opportunity to announce the results of the practical assessment.
After a brief silence, the crowd immediately burst into applause.
"Jaden Yuki… could it be that he truly won't encounter any opponents who can pressure him?"
Alexis Rhodes looked at the red-clad youth walking out of the Duel Field, filled with emotion.
"Perhaps so."
Zane Truesdale murmured in a low voice, arms crossed.
Jaden Yuki's dueling technique, mental fortitude, and quick thinking during duels far surpassed others.
Such a person, almost without flaws, probably wouldn't find an opponent.
Duel Academy's first monthly exam concluded with this duel.
[Congratulations, Host, for defeating Duelist Bastion Misawa]
[Detected defeat of an original character, rewarding Host with Special Card Pack X2]
Listening to the system prompt.
Jaden Yuki lay on his dorm bed, looking at the two card packs in his hand with a bored expression.
"Bastion Misawa's presence is really too low. When I defeated Chazz, I at least got a Theme Card Pack."
"But when it's your turn, I only get two Special Card Packs?"
However.
Even a mosquito's leg is meat.
Jaden Yuki wasn't lacking any cards anyway.
Besides, not many good cards could be pulled from these Special Card Packs.
Jaden Yuki had opened card packs for so many years, and most of the cards were very ordinary ones.
There was a small portion of decent cards, but they were still the minority.
"This time, it's probably just some ordinary cards again…"
Tearing open a card pack, Jaden Yuki muttered softly.
Indeed, the first card he pulled was a plain, unremarkable Spell Card, [Sparks].
Its simple and brutal effect, "Inflict 500 Life Points of damage to your opponent," could indeed be used for a finishing blow in extremely rare circumstances.
Especially for protagonists who love to cling to their Life Points.
Sparks was practically a natural nemesis.
However, this card was useless if drawn early, and by the time it was drawn later, it might no longer be needed.
Instead of taking up a card slot in the deck, it would be better to replace it with more useful cards.
He flipped through the remaining two cards, and they were also very ordinary.
There was nothing good in the first Special Card Pack.
The second pack.
Jaden Yuki actually didn't hold out much hope.
Tearing open the card pack, Jaden Yuki glanced at it without much interest.
However, when he saw the dark 'egg' in the card art.
Jaden Yuki's spirits lifted, and the boredom he felt instantly vanished.
"What's wrong, Jaden?"
Yubel's phantom appeared beside Jaden Yuki.
She had sensed that the usually calm Jaden Yuki was suddenly excited.
"No, nothing."
Suppressing his excitement, Jaden Yuki took a deep breath.
"Is that so?" Yubel could easily see Jaden Yuki trying to hide his joy.
She glanced at the card in Jaden Yuki's hand and raised an eyebrow.
"Nibiru, the Primal Being?"
"That name is quite strange. I haven't seen this card before."
"Hmm? This effect…"
Yubel read the card's effect carefully, a look of surprise appearing on her face.
"Jaden, this card seems to be quite a counter to your HERO deck."
"Ah, that's right."
Jaden Yuki took a deep breath.
[Nibiru, the Primal Being]
Also known as "Nibiru," this 11-star powerful hand trap.
It generally delivers a devastating blow to combo decks.
"It's a shame, though, such a powerful card probably won't have many opportunities to be used in this era."
Jaden Yuki muttered softly.
In the GX era, everyone's decks weren't as outrageous as future decks.
The combo plays weren't as complex or massive.
Nibiru, which could help fix an End Board, would essentially be useless here.
"This card, Nibiru, can only be used if your opponent has Normal or Special Summoned five or more monsters in the same Main Phase."
"Then all monsters on the field are Tributed, and a Token with immense ATK is given to the opponent."
"Looking at it this way, this card doesn't seem to have much use other than targeting myself."
Thinking this, Jaden Yuki still added it to his deck.
After all, he wasn't without having seen combo decks in the GX era.
Although very rare, if he did encounter one, wouldn't it then have its place?
Besides, Nibiru was also considered a Staple Card.
While there wasn't much logical reason for it, when you went second with a Nibiru in hand, you always felt an inexplicable sense of security.
[Detected Host has unlocked a key card]
[Limited-time Card Purchase has been activated]
[Please don't miss this opportunity, Host!]
Hearing the system's voice, Jaden Yuki's eyes lit up.
Limited-time Card Purchase?
"Of course I have to check it out."
Jaden Yuki's accumulated Duel Points over the years had already exceeded nine digits.
It had now reached the system's cap, and dueling no longer added points.
And Jaden Yuki certainly wouldn't miss such a rare limited-time card purchase opportunity.
"Cough, Yubel, if there's nothing else, I'd like some quiet time alone."
Jaden Yuki glanced at Yubel beside him and cleared his throat.
Although Yubel couldn't see the system, pointing and gesturing at thin air would surely seem strange.
"Hmph."
Yubel didn't suspect anything; after all, Jaden Yuki did like quiet, and she knew that well.
Seeing Yubel disappear, Jaden Yuki immediately opened the system interface without hesitation.
Soon, a pile of new cards in the shop appeared before Jaden Yuki's eyes.
[G-Series Cards]
[Contact "C"], [Confronting the "C"], [Retaliating "C"], [Flying "C"], [Shiny Black "C"], [Maxx "C"]
[Designator Series Cards]
[D.D. Designator], [Dark Designator], [Abyssal Designator], [Called by the Grave], [Crossout Designator]
When these batches of cards appeared before Jaden Yuki.
Jaden Yuki swallowed, taking a deep breath.
"Well, well…"
"The OCG Staple Cards are all here."
