There was quite a buzz about the alien battle on the Duel Academy island last night, but until the next morning, Aster Phoenix had not heard of it.
As a popular star among the freshmen in the academy, Aster may be the only one designated as the busiest among the first-year students. Under the arrangement of his agent, he accepted a cooperation project with a large enterprise. He couldn't shirk it and had to attend a grand banquet last night.
After the banquet, he boarded the luxury ferry at Domino Pier with his secretary in the early morning and rushed back to the academy overnight.
Because he didn’t want to miss the first class of the new semester.
After finishing washing, Aster came to the dining room from the room, and the secretary was already waiting here.
“We should be able to arrive at the academy’s port within half an hour.” The secretary stood beside him respectfully.
Aster took a bite of his breakfast sandwich and glanced at his watch.
“Very good, I should be in time to catch the first class in the morning.”
“Tomorrow there is a duel-themed charity fund-raising event in a city, and the mayor would like to invite you to attend the event.” The secretary continued, “Shake hands or something like that.
That mayor has always taken great care of us, and the remuneration is not cheap…"“Tell him I don’t have time,” Aster replied without thinking while eating his sandwich. “I have to go to class.”
The secretary said: "Actually, you should know that Principal Samejima has specifically stated that if you are busy with business, it will be okay if you don't go to class…"
"That won't work!" Aster said righteously as if this was a matter of principle, "I chose to enroll in school so that I can better temper myself, receive systematic education in this top academy, and complete my career sublimation.
If I don’t go to class because of my privilege, then there is no point in my enrollment. "
He has been a good student with excellent academic performance since he was a child. His grades have never been ranked below the first in the school. There was no such thing as skipping classes!
The secretary had no choice but to change her perspective: "According to my research, it seems that Yuki Judai doesn't go to class very much."
Aster's movements froze for an instant.
He turned his head and raised his silver-white eyebrows: "Judai… he usually doesn't go to class?"
“Most of the time. In the rare case when he goes to class, he seems to be sleeping .”
"…”
Aster finished his sandwich in silence.
“I thought about it, if I don’t tell the mayor about tomorrow’s activities, I’d better go there.”
The secretary smiled: "The courses at the academy…"
"Professors and principals will understand if I don't go occasionally." Aster said seriously, "I thought about it, maybe charity activities are more important.
Since I'm a public figure, I have to consider doing my best to benefit as many people as possible. This is a very meaningful activity, not for me personally, but for more people in need.
I think this is more meaningful than my personal improvement…"
“That’s what I thought too, sir.”
A few minutes later, the secretary suddenly seemed to have discovered something.
“Sir, I thought you might like to take a look at this.”
She held the tablet and handed it over.
Aster glanced at it casually, but before he could read the content clearly, when he saw the words "Yuki Judai" in the large text, he immediately froze as if he was electrocuted, and snatched the tablet from her hand.
“Duel Academy…is attacked by aliens? Are aliens coming from space? Yuki Judai, a student at Duel Academy, steps up to defeat his opponent…
… using brand new heroes from the universe!? "
Aster stood up from his seat with a "snap".
Did he secretly print new cards behind my back again?
And it’s a new hero!?
Aster was almost a bit paranoid when it came to "HERO". More than once, he wanted to prove that his heroes were stronger than Judai's.
Part of the reason may be that Aster’s father was himself the card designer of the HERO series, and Aster spared no effort to prove that his father’s design was the best.
Another part of the reason was that their common mentor and idol, Duel King Yuei Vu, was the originator of the HERO series.
The relationship between Aster and Yuei Vu was similar to that of master and apprentice in everything but the name. Yuei Vu never promised, but after all, there was a tie between them. Aster has always regarded himself as Yuei Vu's student.
In fact, he had a chance to become Seto Kaiba's apprentice before.
At that time, President Kaiba was paying attention to the new stars in the duel world, trying to find a good candidate to compete with Yuei Vu's students. During this period, he also noticed Aster – a young rising star who performed extremely well and was even one year younger than Yuei Vu's jellyfish head!
President Kaiba was really excited at the time and had the intention of taking this child under his wings. It wasn't until he learned more about it that he discovered that Aster was actually a staunch user of the "HERO" deck.
At that time, President Kaiba snorted and looked away, showing no interest in the silver-haired young boy.
Why did you have to play HERO when you were still so young?
No future! Not interesting!
"…"
So when Aster played against Judai, he always liked to say, "My Destiny HERO is much stronger than your Elemental HERO."
Judai never cared about this aspect and always gave way to Aster. Every time Aster said this, he would not refute it, but just smiled and agreed.
The idea of Judai was also very simple. He had played with Aster since he was a child and had always treated him as a brother.
Since they were like biological brothers and he was one year older than Aster, he should naturally be the older brother.
Isn’t it natural for an elder brother to give in to his younger brother?
Aster said that his Destiny HERO was stronger, saying that he always had a better chance of winning when they fought, and Judai never refuted it.
So you can imagine what kind of feeling Aster felt when he saw that the Judai got new heroes from the universe.
The first reaction was that he was actually happy for Judai. At the same time, somewhere in his heart, he still had great expectations, just like a child who sat in front of the TV every Saturday anxiously waiting for the hero who only appeared for the last three minutes. He really wanted to know what Judai's new heroes looked like and how strong they were.
But at the same time, he felt uneasy.
It’s over, Judai secretly printed a new card behind my back. From now on, will I have to be under him?
That won’t work!
He dropped the tablet and said with a serious expression: "Make a reservation for me at the academy's dueling arena—the best one. I'll use it this week."
“Already made an appointment.”
Being worthy of being a professional who "worried the boss' worry", the secretary had already guessed the boss's intention before he spoke.
It was very obvious that Aster was planning to catch Judai and play another card game – and it may be on a large scale, and there may be a lot of spectators.
The world champion’s debut in Duel Academy would definitely be big news.
“Should we inform Judai in advance?” the secretary asked, “make an appointment with him? We don’t know yet whether he agrees…”
"He'll agree," Aster said firmly.
Dare to disagree?
That Yu↑ki↓ Ju↑dai↓ is the only old rival I recognize. How dare he try to disagree?
