Chapter 33: The Proud Duelist

A few days before the exam, at the airport of College Island, a boy with a weird hairdo that looked like a windmill jumped out of a plane.

He shook his hair, took a deep breath, looked towards the tower of the Duel Academy, and let out another long sigh.

"I'm back, Duel Academy..."

His name is Wanzhangmuzhun.

A freshman at the Blue College of this college.

"Come on, Manjōmu! The president has been paying attention to you. I will cheer you on in the exam!" The pilot on the plane shouted to Manjōmu. Manjōmu nodded but did not respond.

Will the master really pay attention to me?
He had some doubts.

He walked forward towards the high tower of the Duel Academy. Before he arrived, he stopped, listened to the chattering sounds around him, and couldn't help but fall into reminiscence.

He, with his thousand-foot eyes, is Kaiba Seto's disciple.

By chance, he got a card that contained an elf, and thus he came to think that he was "the chosen one by God". He began to participate in various junior competitions, and he kept winning since he was still an elementary school student. He even relied on his family connections to get to know the president of Kaiba Company, Seto Kaiba, and became his disciple.

After that, he successfully became a student of the Duel Academy Obelisklan.

But he became more and more doubtful of himself.

Many people doubted his own abilities, believing that he relied on the power of the Manjomu Group and Kaiba Corporation and borrowed money to get to the top, which made him begin to doubt himself more and more.

Could it be that the reason I was able to win so many junior league games was because of my brothers’ secret assistance?
Could it be that the reason why I was able to get the master's attention is simply because I have the "Elf" that he dreams of in my deck?
The power of doubt made him extremely painful - he vowed to let those classmates who looked down on him and did not agree with him know that he never relied on others for his vision...

He vowed to gain recognition from others.

He vowed to remain undefeated in the Duel Academy!
Then, on that day, he saw Judai who possessed the "Winged Kuromakura" elf, another "chosen one" who had never been to the other dimension but was recognized by the elves.

He lost, in an exchange duel, he was defeated by Yuki Judai from the mere Red Academy, and all his preparations were wasted.

In great pain, he chose to escape from the academy, claiming to be practicing, but he ended up hiding in Kaiba Company.

Who would have thought that when he was in autism, a master who happened to pass by saw him, called him "idiot", dragged him into the simulated duel room, kicked him, and made him duel madly with the AI using the hero deck...

"I'm not afraid anymore, Judai!"

He secretly encouraged himself -

He is so powerful now!
"Wow, Guang, can you lend me your notes so I can copy them——"

"Brother, this is so cunning, I want to see it too!"

Before entering the classroom, Manjyoume was about to kick the door and loudly announce his return when he heard heated discussions in the classroom. He stood in front of the door, staring blankly at Judai Yuki, Sho Marufuji and many other students he didn't know well or had only a slight impression of, who were chattering around a seat.

"Amagi-san, which page is this alchemical formula on?"

"Amagi-san, what does this mercury secret refer to?"

what--

Manjome was a little dumbfounded. It was the Winged Kuriko ball that noticed him, floating next to Judai and calling "Krikrikiri" twice. Judai heard its voice and subconsciously turned his head and looked at the door, and immediately saw Manjome who had just returned: "Oh! Manjome, you're back!?"

"Manjome-san? He's back?" Maruto Shoya looked over and greeted him politely.

"What are you doing?" Wanzhangmu asked subconsciously as the grand appearance he had imagined did not happen. He was holding his breath.

"Aren't exams coming up soon? Oh, the cultural subjects are so troublesome." Yusuke Judai rubbed the back of his head, "Especially the alchemy class. Normally, no one can understand it. Only Misawa and Hikaru can understand it."

Exam...exam...

Wanzhangmu was a little nervous.

Unlike the natural all-rounder Kaiba Seto, he is not so omnipotent. He missed many classes. Even with the tutoring from Kaiba Company, he might still miss something. What's more, he has been dueling with robots almost every day during this period. How could he have so much time to attend classes?

So, that Amagi Hikaru is a classmate who is very good at alchemy?
You had no impression of it before?

Speaking of which, why does school have to test alchemy?
He thought it was simply a class to cultivate interest!

He doesn't understand at all!
It's not just him, in fact, not many students in the entire school understand it.

Even Misawa Daichi actually knew nothing about alchemy. The reason why he was able to help other students and draw knowledge points for them was simply because he was very good at learning and had a strong memory.

This is one of the reasons why Amagi Hikaru set his goal as the "scholarship". Not to mention people like Judai and Xiang who would sleep in other classes, even Shizō Haiyang would fall asleep in the alchemy class. Therefore, he had a huge advantage in this course, which was a "score-pulling" course.

Apart from this, the Duel Academy does not test things like literature, mathematics, chemistry, physics, etc. Their exam content is very simple, just cards and rules.

It's a duel academy after all.

The former includes card names and effects, while the latter includes the rules of various cards and duels. In the original work, Professor Chronos was once in charge of related courses and explained the details of "field magic" to students.

The teachers at the Duel Academy are eager to break down every detail of the duel and explain the "deeper meaning" behind it.

In short, if you ask Amagi Hikaru, who hasn't taken an exam for five or six years, to take the cultural exam again, he will have no confidence at all. But if he wants to get a good score in Duel Academy, he will definitely have confidence.

"What!? Judai lost to that guy?" After being confused at the beginning, Manjomu asked about the recent events in the academy. Only then did he realize that Judai actually lost to Amagi Hikaru, making Amagi Hikaru the representative of the Duel Academy in the exchange competition.

He first looked in shock at Amagi Hikaru, who looked like a good gentleman and was teaching people in a friendly manner to review alchemy knowledge points. Then he immediately turned around and glared at Judai fiercely: "Why are you so useless? How could you lose to others!?"

"In a duel, isn't it normal to have winners and losers?" Judai scratched his head in confusion after hearing what Manjyoume said, "Besides, Hikaru is really amazing!"

"Nonsense, I'm the only one who can beat you!"

"But you lost to me—"

"Stop talking so much!" Wanzhangmu angrily slammed the table, "It's decided, this time in the exam, let me help you defeat Amagi Hikaru!"

"Show me my new power!"

On the other side, Amagi Hikaru was a little overwhelmed.
