Chapter 616: The Overlord Doesn’t Understand Human Nature!

In order to relieve the fatigue of the journey, John and others from the Duel Academy of Country M took a good rest for a day. In just one day, the news about the exchange students had spread like wildfire in the Duel Academy.

According to past practice, the so-called exchange duel is actually a challenge to the opponent. It is conceivable that the M Country Duel Academy is definitely well prepared this time!

You should know that Sakura Country Duel Academy is the first school in the duel world that was established to train duelists. Because the entire academy is under the name of Kaiba Group, the authority and strength of this academy are also recognized by the duel world.

After all, the power that Seto Kaiba now holds even exceeds that of the Prime Minister of Sakura Country, and all of this is naturally the benefit brought by the duel.

Because of Ed's joining in halfway, this exchange battle activity has a stable feel for the students of Duel Academy.

As the new vice president of the Duel Academy Student Union, Ed's reputation has quickly risen to the top in the past half month. In the eyes of the students of Duel Academy, how could these exchange students who are still working hard to complete their studies in school be the opponents of the world champion?

Therefore, most of the students felt sympathy when they learned that Country M's Duel Academy had come to "make trouble" at this critical juncture, simply because this exchange activity had already been an unequal battle the moment Ed announced his joining of the Duel Academy.

"Oh, Judai, I never thought you were Senior Ed's junior apprentice. You're really good at hiding your identity!"

"Damn it, Judai. I was wondering why your dueling skills are so amazing. Hey, hey, please, Judai, can you help me get an autograph from Senior Ed?"

"Judai-san, I heard that you lived with Senior Ed before you joined the Duel Academy. Could you help me deliver this love letter to Senior Ed? This is the request of my life, please agree to it!"

The next morning, Judai Yuki, who had just entered his class, was once again surrounded by his classmates. As for the reason, it was because someone had revealed his relationship with Ed.

To be honest, if this rumor was just some insignificant little thing, then Yuki Judai might not care, but the problem is that now the entire Duel Academy is spreading an annoying rumor that he is actually Ed's junior!

How could this not make Yuki Judai angry?

However, what Yuki Judai never expected was that this rumor was originally leaked by Ed inadvertently during a casual chat with his classmates.

Although Ed did not publicly admit that he was Yuki Judai's senior, his words and actions revealed the qualities and tolerance that a senior of Yuki Judai should have.

It has to be said that when it comes to dealing with interpersonal relationships, Yuki Judai is indeed no match for Ed, who has experienced all kinds of social occasions.

The famous saying "Overlords do not understand human hearts" has also been fully confirmed in small social groups such as the Duel Academy.

"Damn it! I've already told you that I'm Ed's senior, why don't you believe me?" Although he was very annoyed that the misunderstanding was getting more and more outrageous, Judai Yuki, who didn't know how to refuse others, could only agree to his classmates' not-so-excessive requests while complaining.

He lay on the desk, feeling extremely exhausted. If the exchange meeting was not announced to start this afternoon, Yucheng Judai would have gone to find Ed to settle things first.

"Jiudai, Senior Ed is taking such good care of you, why don't you stop being a child~!" Smilingly massaging Yujo Judai's shoulders, Asuka Tenjouin said gently, "Besides, I have also asked Mr. You Feng about this matter. So~ who made you promise Senior Ed that we would duel every three years? In the end, weren't you the one who agreed to this condition first?"

"Ah~!" Touching his jellyfish head with a wry smile, Yuujo Judai shook his head helplessly, "I didn't think so much at the beginning, but now is not the time for us to decide the winner. Who knew that Ed would be so unsportsmanlike?"

With a gentle smile on her face, Asuka Tenjouin said earnestly, "Jiudai, you can't say that to Senior Ed. In my opinion, it doesn't really matter who is the senior and who is the junior between you two, because I know that Senior Ed really treats you as his own family. To be honest, sometimes I really envy the relationship between you two!"

"Hey, Ed is also my family, there is no doubt about that!"

Nodding at Asuka, Yuujo Judai suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "But on the basis of family, he is also my competitor, because Master once said that when Ed and I are able to stand on our own, he will test us both. Only those who are recognized by him can truly inherit his name!"

"So, based on this alone, I will never give in!"

"Ahaha~! I was wondering why you two always quarrel with each other. It turns out the root of this matter lies with Mr. Li Youfeng!" After figuring out the cause of the matter, Asuka Tenjouin could only laugh awkwardly.

Jingle bell bell~!

As the class bell rang, Yuujo Judai couldn't help but yawn, "Okay, I finished copying homework very late yesterday, and I'm seriously sleep deprived now, so I won't talk anymore, I'm going to sleep for a while!"

"Eh? Chudai, today's class is Professor Hibiki's class! Chudai~! Alas, you idiot!"

Seeing that her persuasion was futile, Asuka Tenjouin had no choice but to return to her seat. Before leaving, she said hello to Marufuji Sho, her deskmate at Judai. She could only pray that Professor Hibiki would turn a blind eye.

Unfortunately, ideals are always ideals. Maybe because he was too tired last night, Yuki Judai's snoring still reached Professor Xiangluo's ears.

"Wow! That's terrible, brother, wake up, don't sleep anymore!" Seeing Professor Xiangluo striding towards him with a gloomy face, Marufuji Sho hurriedly began to shake Judai.

“Oh! You are so brave that you dare to sleep in my class!” As he spoke, he punched Judai Yuu on the head. With a dull “bang” sound, Judai Yuuu, who was originally only in a light sleep, fell into a deep sleep with a big bump on his head.

And he's the type that no one can wake up~!

The principal's office of Duel Academy.

"Principal Mackenzie, I'm very sorry about what happened to David. I just don't know if his condition has improved after returning home?" David suddenly fell into a coma due to his failure in the duel at the end of the semester. This kind of thing is naturally a very worrying thing for Principal Samejima who cannot see the Dark Game.

"Well, his condition is much better. Please take care of him, Principal Samejima!" With a businesslike smile on his face, Mackenzie lied quite naturally. To him, he could have as many chess pieces like David as he wanted. He would not care about the life or death of a consumable.

"Haha, that makes me feel relieved!" Looking behind Mackenzie, Samejima's eyes lit up slightly, "Come to think of it, I heard there were five people at this exchange event. Why are there only four people here now?"

"Oh, there's something wrong with that guy, but don't worry, he'll be here soon!"

He said a few perfunctory words to Jiaodao. In fact, Mackenzie himself didn't know where Darkness was now. After all, this guy's whereabouts were secretive. As a partner, Darkness had no obligation to obey his orders.

"Haha, in that case, let me first explain the list of personnel for our exchange battle!"

Turning his laptop over generously, Samejima continued, "Yuki Judai, Manjomuzu, Tenjouin Asuka, Misawa Daichi, and Ed Phoenix! These five people are the list of players for our Duel Academy's exchange match this time!"

"Ed Phoenix?!" X5

When they heard Ed's name, the eyes of John and the other four, including Professor Cobra, lit up slightly!

"Oh?! It's really Ed Phoenix!" Principal Mackenzie said with a calm smile, his eyes flashing with a gleam of light, "I didn't expect that your school would even accept a genius duelist from our country M. You know, I offered a lot of conditions but still failed to win Ed's favor. Just based on this point, the foundation of your school is really enviable!"

"Haha, Principal Mackenzie, you're really too kind. When it comes to teaching staff that train duelists, our Duel Academy is second to none!" Principal Samejima showed off at the right time. He naturally knew that the reason why Ed joined the Duel Academy was because the Duel King Li Youfeng was also here, so strictly speaking, Li Youfeng could also be counted as part of the Duel Academy's foundation.

Of course, Principal Samejima would never reveal such important top-secret information to outsiders. As for the principle of not showing off wealth, he is naturally very clear about it at his age.

"Principal Samejima, I have a request!" Professor Cobra, who had a pointed head and had used too much hair gel, strode up. "The students of our M Country Duel Academy are very interested in Ed's strength. Before the exchange battle begins, can we have a friendly match? As for the candidates for the friendly match, how about Ed Phoenix versus our John Andersen?"

"What? It's me? Haha, that's great, I've been looking forward to this duel for a long time. It's worth the trip to see the strength of the world champion!" John, who had wanted to fight with Ed for a long time, laughed excitedly on the spot. He didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

"Tsk! What a lucky guy!" Seeing that John was chosen as Ed's opponent, Jim expressed his dissatisfaction without hiding his feelings. "Hey, O'Brien, you actually want to fight Ed too, right? So, why didn't you say anything?"

Glancing at Jim calmly, O'Brien said without any emotion: "Obeying orders from superiors is a basic quality of a mercenary, so I have no objection!"

"Tsk~!"

Professor Cobra's one-sided duel naturally caused Amon's dissatisfaction. Knowing that he had to fight for this kind of thing himself, he immediately stepped forward and said gloomily: "Professor Cobra, I oppose your decision. The candidate who will fight against Ed should be drawn in a fair manner..."

"My order is absolute!" Professor Cobra stared at Amon with a gloomy face and said lightly, "Amon, if you don't want to participate in the exchange war, I can approve you to return to Country M now!"

"You! Tsk!" Amon gritted his teeth and retreated back to the team. He had already secretly hated Professor Cobra.

"You arrogant bastard, just wait and see, I am the strongest duelist who can surpass Ed, and soon, I will prove it to the world!" He buried the words of complaint deep in his heart. As an ambitious man, Amon would definitely not obediently follow Cobra's arrangements.

"Haha, fellow top students, you don't have to be so impatient. The exchange event will be held for many days anyway. Even after the competition is over, you can still find Ed to exchange and learn in private."

Seeing that things seemed to be getting quite tense, Principal Samejima hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Then the candidates for the friendly match have been decided. I will notify Ed to go to the competition hall later. Everyone, please come with me!"

Lavender Game Store.

"What? The transport plane of the Illusion Society was attacked? The cards my father made for me are also missing?" Ed was called to the Lavender Game Store by Li Youfeng early in the morning. When he heard the news, his face became visibly ugly.

"Yes, I received a call from Pegasus just this morning when I woke up. According to him, a mysterious person appeared in the flying transport plane and launched a dark game."

"After the incident, all the cabin crew members were unfortunately killed, and the transport plane crashed into the sea. In addition to the precious cards made by your father, even the precious jade beast ace cards that Pegasus himself had processed and finished were all lost on the plane. So, from the intelligence we have obtained so far, the other party has obviously been eyeing these cards for a long time."

Because the plot of Yu-Gi-Oh has undergone tremendous changes, even the experienced Li Youfeng was confused by such an accident and found it difficult to determine who was behind it.

"Damn bastard! How dare he snatch the card my father made specially for me! If I knew this man's identity, I would never let him go!" Ed clenched his fists tightly, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes.

"Ed, calm down. Pegasus has handed this matter over to Pegasus Night Walk to investigate, and the Card Professor Association has also sent the top five elite personnel to assist Pegasus Night Walk in catching the criminal. After all, the other party was the one who shit on the head of the Illusion Society first. With Pegasus Night Walk's personality, he will definitely not swallow his anger over this incident."

After a short pause of a few seconds, Li Youfeng looked at Ed and continued, "Actually, you don't have to be too depressed. I also got some news here. That is, the replica of the new deck made by Mr. Qiao Luke is already on its way by air. This time, it is escorted by Tianma Yexing's brother Tianma Yuexing himself. I believe there will be no more accidents this time."
