[Duel Points X50000]

[Congratulations Host for completing achievement: Pure Duelist]

[Congratulations Host for obtaining 'HERO' Theme Card Pack X2]

As soon as Jaden Yuki returned to his dorm, the system's notification sound rang in his ears.

Looking at the four card packs in his hand, Jaden Yuki raised an eyebrow.

Why did this achievement feel a little strange?

Was the system implying he was destined to be single?

"Anyway, I finally have enough points to exchange for G-Series cards."

Rubbing his hands together, Jaden Yuki began eagerly selecting cards.

Not long after.

Looking at the exchanged cards, Jaden Yuki hummed a tune, starting to think about how to combine them with his deck.

Yubel floated beside Jaden Yuki, quietly watching him.

Seeing Jaden Yuki looking quite happy.

Yubel shook her head helplessly.

Although she was a Spirit, she could somewhat sense that the little girl named Alexis Rhodes had more than ordinary feelings for Jaden Yuki.

And Jaden, he...

Did he really not see it?

Or was he deliberately avoiding something?

In the time that followed, Jaden Yuki sought opponents who could earn him points everywhere.

Whether it was students from Obelisk Blue Dorm, Ra Yellow, or Slifer Red,

As long as there was wool to be shorn, Jaden Yuki would catch them and relentlessly shear.

In just one month.

The entire Duel Academy was filled with wailing.

The number of students defeated by Jaden Yuki had reached several hundred.

And in the students' Duel Points for their grades, Jaden Yuki's points were rising at an alarming rate.

Inside the Duel Academy faculty office.

Professor Crowler paced back and forth in his office, frantic.

On the computer beside him, the duel records between students from the recent period were displayed.

And the most eye-catching among them was Jaden Yuki's name in the [Obelisk Blue] column.

His duel wins had reached a terrifying three hundred and thirty-five.

One must know, this was Jaden Yuki's achievement in just one month.

On average, he dueled at least ten times a day.

And his perfect record had already instilled fear in other students.

Every time they saw Jaden Yuki, a large group of students would scatter and flee as if encountering a plague god.

Fearing being caught by Jaden Yuki and then severely drained of points.

The reason for Professor Crowler's worry was precisely this.

"Mama mia, Jaden's dueling has been too active this past month...

"While being so active is indeed a good thing, it has caused all other students' scores to plummet, no, no."

Professor Crowler's head was spinning with worry.

Jaden Yuki's dueling felt like he was just farming points from the students.

Using a D.D. Dynamite deck, he often ended the duel before the opponent's turn.

According to the statistics from these over three hundred duels.

Jaden Yuki usually ended the game within three turns.

The fastest ones ended even before the opponent's turn had just begun.

This lack of interactive dueling not only made many students avoid Jaden Yuki, but also somewhat dampened their enthusiasm for dueling.

The entire academy's student dueling negativity was extremely high, and there were even students who left the school.

"Speaking of which, the student who left the school was Chazz Princeton, right?"

"Another Obelisk Blue Dorm student, mama mia, my bonus this year is probably going to be ruined!"

Professor Crowler felt like he was going crazy.

Why were the Obelisk Blue students all so troublesome, one after another?

Just as he was thinking, a knock sounded at the door.

Professor Crowler quickly sat back at his desk, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Please come in."

As the office door opened, a tall figure walked into the office.

"Report, Professor Crowler, you sent for me?"

Alexis Rhodes walked in from outside the office, standing before Professor Crowler.

"Hmm... cough cough." Clearing his throat with a fist, Professor Crowler glanced at Alexis. "Jaden's dueling has been too frequent lately, so, I want to find someone to persuade him..."

"Uh, but I'm not that close with him."

Thinking of Jaden Yuki's personality, Alexis also showed a bitter smile.

She liked this boy.

But for her to persuade him, it was basically impossible, right?

"NONONO!" Professor Crowler waved his hands frantically, his Pot of Greed-like face filled with seriousness. "In the entire academy, if there's anyone closest to Jaden Yuki, it must be you! Alexis Rhodes!"

"Me?" Alexis's face flushed. "No, it can't be? How could that be..."

"I only speak to him once a day on average, okay?"

And that was after their last duel.

Alexis felt a mix of tears and laughter in her heart.

Before that, she barely spoke to him once or twice a week.

"So, Alexis Rhodes is the closest person to Jaden Yuki!" Professor Crowler said with a serious expression.

If Alexis Rhodes's average speaking frequency with Jaden Yuki was 1.

Then other students' average frequency was probably only at the 0.1 level, right?

So, saying that Alexis Rhodes was the closest to Jaden Yuki was truly not a problem.

"...Alright, I'll try my best."

Alexis sighed, resigned to taking on this thankless task.

But, could Jaden Yuki really be easily persuaded?

With a sense of unease, Alexis left the office and walked towards where Jaden Yuki was most likely to be.

In a corner of the Academy Forest.

Alexis indeed saw a familiar figure holding a fishing rod, sitting by the lake, leisurely fishing.

And beside the red-clad figure, a striped fat cat was yawning, seemingly very close to him.

"Eh? This cat..."

Alexis walked over curiously.

She seemed to have seen this cat somewhere before.

"Ah, isn't this Professor Lyman Banner's cat? I think it's called 'Pharaoh'."

Alexis remembered, this was indeed the fat cat owned by Professor Lyman Banner, who taught Alchemy.

"Mm."

Jaden Yuki glanced at Alexis who had appeared, then nodded, acknowledging her presence.

He was no longer surprised by Alexis Rhodes appearing here.

"Mrow." Pharaoh yawned, rubbing against Jaden Yuki's clothes with眯ing eyes.

"Why is it here... Professor Lyman Banner usually takes it with him, doesn't he?"

Alexis walked over, squatted beside Jaden Yuki, and stroked Pharaoh's head.

"Professor Lyman Banner asked me to look after Pharaoh for him. He said he was too busy to take care of it, and I seemed to be free."

Jaden Yuki replied, looking at the calm lake surface.

"Speaking of which, Professor Lyman Banner seems to think highly of you lately. He usually sends people to drag you back when you skip Alchemy class."

Alexis rubbed Pharaoh's back, smiling as she spoke.

"Mm..."

Jaden Yuki nodded.

He knew Professor Lyman Banner's intention,

And he also knew.

The Sacred Beasts Arc might be coming soon.
