For these staple cards, Jaden Yuki didn't hesitate to exchange a large quantity of his Duel Points for them.
However, each card was quite expensive.
After exchanging for some main cards, Jaden Yuki's accumulated Duel Points began to run low.
"It seems I need to find people to duel quickly."
Lying on the bed, hands propped behind his head.
Jaden Yuki stared at the ceiling, already pondering who to challenge next.
Most students were now in a state of fear towards Jaden Yuki.
If he challenged them to a duel, they probably wouldn't dare to accept.
If he bullied people who were too weak, the system wouldn't grant rewards.
As for the characters in the story:
Bastion Misawa and Chazz Princeton had already been defeated by him, and repeatedly challenging them in a short period wouldn't yield any rewards from the system.
So, who was left?
Jaden Yuki closed his eyes, falling into thought.
Soon, he drifted off to sleep in this atmosphere.
While Jaden Yuki was sleeping,
At Industrial Illusions Headquarters.
Card Spirit Research Institute.
Inside the design room, the lights were bright.
Several card designers were working overtime to complete the day's plan.
On their desks were six cards issued by their superior.
Each of the six cards featured a small, cute girl in its artwork.
Each girl wore a distinctly different style of clothing.
In contrast, below the card art were strings of spirit text that gave the designers a massive headache.
"What's with these Monster Cards? With our era's technology, we can't even decipher their meaning."
"We don't even know the monsters' names. How are we supposed to proceed?"
"Speaking of which, who developed these Monster Cards?"
"I heard it was a design draft submitted to the president by a young man named Jaden Yuki."
"Jaden Yuki... that famous duelist."
One of the designers sighed, rubbing his forehead tiredly.
"Seriously, why does that guy always come up with such complex Spirit Cards for us to design? It was the same with those New HEROes before, and now these cards..."
"Moreover, the spirits in these cards contain extremely terrifying power. I wonder how much trouble it would cause if a spirit ran wild."
"Forget it, let's call it a day. Everyone go home and get some good rest; there's still plenty of time anyway."
One of the designers shook his head, carefully putting the six cards away and locking them in the institute's card vault.
"By the way, the descriptions beneath those cards always give me a unique sense of incongruity."
As he packed up to leave, one designer suddenly spoke, as if something had just occurred to him.
"Oh? What kind of description?"
"Well, for regular Monster Cards, don't their descriptions usually follow a format like 'XX-Type/Effect' or 'Normal'?"
"Aside from Fusion, Ritual, and Gemini monsters, which have an additional 'Fusion,' 'Ritual,' or 'Gemini' description between the XX-Type and Effect, all other cards follow the same specifications."
Indeed.
All Normal Monster Cards that are not Gemini, Ritual, or Fusion generally follow the [XX-Type/Effect] format.
However, those six cards, without exception, followed the [XX-Type/XX/Effect] format in their information, despite being specified as Normal Monsters.
Although many of the spirit texts remained undecipherable to the designers for now.
Based on past experience, the designers could instantly tell whether a card was a Normal Monster Card, an Effect Monster Card, or a Gemini, Ritual, or Fusion card.
Except for these six cards.
"We can't determine what category of monster they are."
"Forget it, don't think about work during your break. Hurry home."
As the lights in the institute extinguished one by one.
From the safe containing the six cards, a faint black light gently rose.
"Hehehe..."
"Jaden... Yuki."
A girl's ethereal voice emanated from the safe.
A silent darkness gradually spread throughout the entire institute.
Hm?
A sense of unease suddenly enveloped Jaden Yuki.
He abruptly opened his eyes and sat up in bed.
The Supreme King's aura instantly erupted, and Jaden Yuki's eyes gleamed with an ominous golden light.
However, there was no threat in the room.
It was as if the feeling he had just experienced was merely Jaden Yuki's imagination.
"Hm? Was I dreaming?"
Scratching his head, Jaden Yuki's aura subsided, and his eyes returned to normal.
He yawned, realizing that it was already bright outside, and his alarm clock pointed to 10 o'clock.
"Ah, I'm late!"
Jaden Yuki was startled, realizing that the current time was very bad for a student.
But he quickly relaxed.
Since he was already late, he might as well skip class.
In the academy hallway.
Today was the day the monthly exam results were being released.
In the hallway, the monthly exam results were hung high on the wall, attracting all passing students to stop and observe.
"Look quickly! Alexis Rhodes, as expected, is the #1 girl in Obelisk Blue!"
Jasmine and Mindy pulled a reluctant Alexis into the crowd.
Seeing the name 'Alexis Rhodes' at the top of the girls' dorm rankings, Jasmine and Mindy immediately showed envious expressions.
"There's nothing surprising about this," Alexis said with a wry smile.
It wasn't that she was exceptionally outstanding.
After all, while the number of girls in the entire Duel Academy was not small, truly excellent individuals were not very numerous.
Most were average in talent, and those like Jasmine and Mindy were entirely focused on finding handsome guys, with little energy for studying.
With only Alexis putting in the effort to study, this ranking was obvious even with her eyes closed.
Compared to the girls' dorm,
The boys' side was much more competitive.
Excluding the Slifer Red students who had completely given up on themselves.
The Ra Yellow students, who were the honor students promoted from the entrance exam, had scores that were almost identical, with very close differences.
Looking at Obelisk Blue, the top students promoted from the middle school's high achievers were even more intensely competitive to an astonishing degree.
The scores of all of them differed by only a few points.
And the first-year ranking in Obelisk Blue was, without a doubt, the outstanding and dazzling Jaden Yuki.
"It's him indeed..."
Seeing the name, Alexis smiled wryly.
That person, who was rarely seen in class, why could he always show such an unexpected side?
Compared to him, her so-called 'Queen of Obelisk Blue' title had truly lost its brilliance.
