By the time he returned to the dormitory, it was already late at night.
Scaling the wall to get back into Duel Academy, Jaden Yuki returned to his dorm. He took a shower, then leaned back on his bed, inspecting the special card pack he had just acquired.
"Wonder what I'll pull from a card pack linked to the original plot."
It was Jaden's first time defeating a character from the original plot.
Even if it was just a minor cannon fodder…
"Hmm?"
He tore open the card pack.
Seeing the five cards inside, Jaden Yuki paused slightly.
"Jaden, looks like you got something good." Yubel's voice resonated in Jaden's ear.
Jaden Yuki's lips twitched into a smile.
"Ah, yeah…"
"For me, it's definitely some good stuff…"
Though, it's a little… ominous.
The next day.
In the Academy classroom.
At yesterday's welcome party, the new students had already vaguely formed their own small cliques. They gathered in groups, chatting and laughing.
Alexis Rhodes and her two best friends, Junko and Momoe, were also in a corner of the classroom, discussing the morning news.
"Hey, did you hear? This morning, someone saw a person tied up hand and foot outside the police station."
"It seems a reporter said it was a duelist named Titan, right?"
"I heard he'd been involved in illegal activities, and last night, he was defeated by someone unknown and left at the police station entrance."
"When he woke up, that guy Titan seemed a bit crazed, and his memories from last night appeared to be gone."
Junko and Momoe chattered excitedly about the news.
"Who could have done it, though…?" Junko propped her chin on her hand, contemplating with a dreamy, infatuated look. "Maybe it's the hero secretly protecting Domino City."
"Ooh~ Hearing Junko say that, it sounds so romantic." Momoe also rested her hands under her chin, her eyes sparkling with longing.
A hero, huh…?
Alexis Rhodes shook her head with a wry smile. Although it seemed a bit cliché, judging by the actions of the person in the news who subdued the criminal without revealing their name, it truly had the feel of a solitary 'hero.'
"Anyway, as students, you should focus on your primary duty."
"You two should hurry up and put all your attention on dueling." Shaking her head, Alexis Rhodes spoke.
Just as she finished speaking, the sound of a door being pushed open echoed from the entrance. The noisy chatter of the students in the classroom paused slightly as the person walking in caught their attention.
A detached expression, a brown jellyfish haircut. Dressed in a black jacket, he looked strikingly out of place compared to the surrounding students in their blue school uniforms.
"Hey, isn't that Jaden Yuki?"
"It really is him! Jaden Yuki, last year's Junior League Champion? Why is he at Duel Academy?"
"Is he also a Duel Academy student? And in our class too?"
"Oh my gosh, it's an idol… I'm actually in the same class as my idol…"
The students buzzed with discussion. No one had expected that the dueling prodigy seen on television would appear live in front of them.
Among students of this age, there were many hot-blooded youths who used Elemental HERO Decks. And Jaden Yuki, this man who used a signature Elemental HERO Deck to win the Duel League, was undoubtedly their idol.
They wanted to duel him!
They wanted to duel the user of the strongest Elemental HEROes!
Under a barrage of eager gazes, Jaden Yuki's brows furrowed slightly. He didn't particularly like this kind of attention. Being stared at like an oddity wherever he went was truly annoying.
He scanned the classroom. Finally, he sat down in the empty seat in the furthest corner.
However, no sooner had he sat down, the surrounding students immediately swarmed him, as if they had discovered a celebrity.
"It's Jaden-kun himself."
"Jaden-kun, can you duel me? Please! I also use an Elemental HERO Deck, and I really look up to you! Please accept my request!"
"Jaden-kun, could I please get an autograph…?"
Like stars surrounding the moon, Jaden Yuki was surrounded by excited students. Looking at the starry eyes of the students around him, Jaden Yuki rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"Heheheh, you don't seem to be used to being idolized, do you?" Yubel's figure appeared behind Jaden, smiling faintly. "If you wish, Jaden, I can make them disappear forever."
"Forget it, they're just kids at the age of idolizing others…" Jaden Yuki shook his head, stopping Yubel.
"There are many ways to make them keep their distance from me."
For example…
Under the starry-eyed gazes of the crowd, Jaden Yuki silently took out his Deck and placed it on his desk.
"Alright, those who want to duel me, come and get in line."
I'll make you all realize…
…what regret truly feels like.
