Chapter 22

A few days before the exam, at the airport of the Academy Island, a boy with a strange hairstyle like a windmill jumped off the plane.

He shook his hair, took a deep breath, looked at the high tower of Duel Academy, and sighed long again.

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

His name is Manjoume Jun.

A first-year student of the Blue Academy of this academy.

"Come on, Manjoume! The President has always been paying attention to you. He will also cheer for you in the exam!" The pilot on the plane shouted at Manjoume. Manjoume nodded when he heard this, but didn't respond.

Will Master really pay attention to me?

He was a bit skeptical.

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

He, Manjoume Jun, is Kaiba Seto's disciple.

Under a certain opportunity, he obtained a card inhabited by a spirit, and because of this, he had the idea that he was the "person chosen by heaven," and began to participate in various primary competitions. Since he was a primary school student, he kept winning, and even relied on his family's relationship to get to know the president of Kaiba Corporation, Kaiba Seto, and thus became his disciple.

After that, he successfully became a student of Obelisk Blue at Duel Academy.

But he became more and more suspicious of himself.

Many people doubted his own strength, thinking that he relied on the power of the Manjoume Group and Kaiba Corporation to borrow money to get to the top, making him increasingly suspicious of himself.

Could it be that the reason I was able to win so many primary league victories really had the secret assistance of my brothers?

Could it be that the reason I was able to get Master's attention was just because I had the "spirit" he dreamed of in my deck?

The power of doubt made him extremely painful—he swore to let those students who looked down on him and didn't recognize him know that he, Manjoume, never relied on others...

He swore to let others recognize him.

He swore to be undefeated in Duel Academy!

Then, that day, he saw Judai, who possessed the "Winged Kuriboh" spirit, another "chosen one" who had never been to another dimension but still gained the recognition of the spirit.

He lost. In an exchange duel, he lost to Yuki Judai of the mere Red Academy, causing all his preparations to be ruined.

Extremely painful, he chose to flee the academy, claiming to be training, but actually just ran to Kaiba Corporation to hide.

Never expected that while he was autistic, Master, who happened to pass by, saw him, scolded him as an "idiot," then dragged him into the simulation dueling room, kicked him, and made him frantically duel with an AI using a Hero deck...

"I won't be afraid anymore, Judai!"

He secretly encouraged himself—

Now he is terrifyingly strong!

"Wow, Hikari, lend me your notes to copy—"

"Big Brother, too cunning, I want to see it too!"

Before walking into the classroom, Manjoume was preparing to kick the door and announce his return, when he heard the intense discussion in the classroom. He stood in front of the door, looking blankly at Yuki Judai, Marufuji Sho, and many students he didn't know very well or had a slight impression of, surrounding a seat and arguing chattering.

"Student Tenjou, on which page is this alchemy formula?"

"Student Tenjou, what does this mercury secret refer to?"

What is this—

Manjoume was a bit dumbfounded.

It was Winged Kuriboh who noticed him, floating beside Judai, and calling "Kuri-kuri" twice. Judai heard its voice, turned his head subconsciously, looked at the door, and immediately saw the Manjoume who had just returned: "Oh! Manjoume, you're back!?"

"Student Manjoume? He's back?" Marufuji Sho also looked over and greeted politely.

"What are you doing?" Manjoume's gorgeous appearance he thought of in his heart was not performed. He was holding his breath, and asked subconsciously again.

"Isn't the exam coming up soon? Oh, cultural courses are really troublesome." Yuki Judai scratched the back of his head. "Especially the alchemy class, everyone can't understand it usually, only Misawa and Hikari know this."

Ex... exam...

Manjoume was a bit nervous.

Unlike Kaiba Seto, who is a natural genius, he is not that omnipotent. Many classes were not attended. Even if there were teachers from Kaiba Corporation to make up lessons, he might miss something. Moreover, during this period, he almost dueled with robots every day, where would he have so much time to attend classes.

So, that Tenjou Hikari is a student who is very good at alchemy?

No impression at all before?

Speaking of which, why does the school want to test alchemy!

He thought it was just a class to cultivate interests!

He didn't understand at all!

Not just him, in fact, in the whole school, not many students understand.

Even Misawa Daichi actually knows nothing about alchemy. The reason he can help other students and draw knowledge points for them is simply because he is very good at learning and has a strong enough memory.

This is also one of the reasons why Tenjou Hikari set his goal as "scholarship." Not to mention Judai, Sho, and others who would sleep in other classes, even Soku Ocean would inevitably doze off in alchemy class. Therefore, he has a huge advantage in this course, which is a course to "pull up the score."

And besides this, Duel Academy doesn't test things like literature, mathematics, chemistry, physics, etc. Their exam content is very simple, just cards and rules.

After all, it's Duel Academy.

The former is about card names and effects, and the latter is about various cards and dueling rules. In the original work, Professor Chronos was responsible for related courses, explaining the details of "Field Spell" to students.

The teachers of Duel Academy wish they could dismantle every detail of the duel and then talk about the "deep meaning" behind it.

In short, if you let Tenjou Hikari, who hasn't taken an exam for five or six years, take cultural exams again, he has no confidence at all, but if he wants to get good grades in Duel Academy, he definitely has confidence.

"What!? Judai lost to that guy?" After experiencing the initial ignorance, Manjoume asked about the recent things in the academy, and only then did he know that Judai had actually lost to Tenjou Hikari, making Tenjou Hikari the exchange representative of Duel Academy.

He first looked at Tenjou Hikari, who looked like a good gentleman, kindly explaining knowledge points to others to review alchemy, and then immediately turned his head back, glaring at Judai fiercely: "How can you be so useless, how can you lose to others!?"

"Dueling, isn't it normal to win or lose?" Judai scratched his head in confusion when he heard Manjoume's words. "Besides, Hikari is really amazing!"

"Nonsense, only I can win against you!"

"But you lost to me—"

"Shut up! Don't talk too much!" Manjoume patted the table angrily. "Decided, this exam, let me defeat Tenjou Hikari for you!"

"Take a good look at my new power!"

On the other side, Tenjou Hikari was a bit unable to hold it.
