Chapter 198 The Secret of Good Friends
"Hey, hey! Are you okay!?"

Judai ran breathlessly around and down the cliff.

Even he hadn't expected that a card game could cause someone to fall off a cliff. Marufuji Sho and Hayato were also dumbfounded, wondering why the 3D image was so powerful today, and how could it be possible to cause someone to fall off a cliff from such a long distance.

This shouldn't be a problem, right?
I followed Judai breathlessly around and finally found the unlucky guy who was knocked down on a rock by the waves.

Sho and Hayato were originally trembling with fear, fearing that they would see a group of people beaten to a bloody mess when they came down, but they found that there was none.

When we got to the bottom of the cliff, we found only metal fragments, wires and electronic components everywhere.

The three were stunned.

Is this a robot?
That's right, the guy who called himself Beta was not a flesh and blood body, but a mechanical body. However, its head and body had been separated and rolled to different locations at the bottom of the cliff, revealing the complex circuits and chips inside.

The joints of the robot arm broke, the hydraulic pipes burst, and the oil leaked into the soil, forming patches of oil.

Sho and Hayato looked at each other.

"So, brother was fighting with a robot just now?"

"But who sent them? What's their purpose in coming to Duel Academy?" Hayato was also confused.

"do not know."

Judai shook his head, but his expression was serious.

He thought again of the unusual, dark duel-like impact in the duel just now.

Although his origins and purpose are still unknown, this guy is definitely not a good person.

"Let's go and notify the school first." Judai said.

The other two nodded as well. This deserted beach and the broken mechanical wreckage made them feel inexplicably uneasy.

The three of them turned around. But after walking a short distance, Judai suddenly stopped involuntarily.

The other two ran a few steps and saw that he was not keeping up, so they quickly turned around to look at him.

"What's wrong, brother?" Marufuji Sho asked puzzledly.

Judai didn't say anything, but for no reason You Xuan's solemn face suddenly flashed through his mind, and his words rang in his ears.

"Cards will become weapons of harm in the hands of evil people, and we, as sunny and righteous duelists, will never see our most beloved Duel Monsters being abused!"

"If we leave it alone, what if it is recovered by the villain's accomplices and used as a weapon to cause harm?"

"."

Judai hesitated for two seconds, then quickly turned around and ran back to the robot's disintegrated parts scattered on the ground.

He rummaged through the pile of metal debris and found the shattered duel disk, from which he pulled out the deck.

He also whispered "I'm sorry".

After putting the deck in his pocket, he turned around and jogged to catch up with his companions.

Marufuji Sho: “.”

Hayato: “.”

It's over. It seems that Big Brother is also going to turn into the shape of a big devil.
The cultural festival is coming to an end.

It was already dark, and You Xuan stretched as he left the venue: "Today's duel was quite interesting, and I had a lot of fun. But the prizes were too small, only two rare cards and a custom pendant. The duel department is really stingy."

Misawa and Asuka, who were walking with him on the way back: "."

You had a great time playing, but it’s hard to say how others felt.

If this continues, the duel activity might have to change the rules if the cultural festival is held next year, otherwise it might somewhat affect everyone's enthusiasm and motivation for playing cards.

By then, there might be new rumors circulating in the academy about the man who single-handedly changed the rules of the academy's cultural festival for many years.
"Come to think of it, the custom pendant seems to allow you to choose and customize any Duel Monster pendant you like. Has Yugen-san decided what you want to do?"

"What do you guess?" You Xuan smiled.

Misawa probed: "Lava Demon?"

Asuka actually thought about this possibility seriously: "If it's Yugen-san, it's not impossible."

"What about Misawa? The duel points you earned should be able to be exchanged for pendants, right?" You Xuan asked.

Misawa showed a proud samurai expression: "I don't need that kind of thing."

"I see." You Xuan nodded, "'White Mage-Rong', right? I see."

Misawa's face changed drastically: "How do you know? No, I mean, don't talk nonsense!" "Calm down, we all know it a long time ago." You Xuan smiled, "If you don't believe me, ask Asuka."

Misawa was shocked and cast a questioning look at Asuka. Asuka nodded, "Yes. You Xuan said that you sometimes secretly took out Rong'er from the laboratory to do amateur research. You want to develop the potential of this card, right? Because you like her very much, right?"

Misawa blushed: "No, I didn't, I..."

You Xuan patted his shoulder: "It's okay, this is normal. We all understand."

As a man, what's so strange about liking a loli elf? Besides, she has twin tails.

Misawa: “.”

Damn it, he thought it was his biggest secret, but it turned out that he had already been seen through?

Misawa was depressed, and he remained silent for a long time.

When they reached the dense forest, Asuka suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "The moon is very round today."

The three of them looked up at the same time and stopped involuntarily.

"Indeed." You Xuan nodded slightly.

After stopping for a while, they simply sat down on the rocks beside the stream in the woods and looked at the moon.

After a moment, Asuka suddenly said, "Actually, before I came to the academy, and when I first arrived, I was always alone.

It’s not that I don’t have classmates around me, but I always feel like I can’t fit in. I think it’s because I came to the college with a purpose in mind.”

She spoke softly as looking at the moon seemed to bring back memories.

"The most important secret about my coming to the academy is my brother. His name is Fubuki, and he disappeared in this Duel Academy. Since then, I have made up my mind to find him. The reason I came to the academy is largely because I hope to find clues related to his disappearance.

Since my brother disappeared, I haven’t really cared about anything else. Getting along with people around me, socializing with classmates. That’s why I’ve always had a hard time fitting in with anyone.”

She turned her gaze away from the moon and just smiled slightly.

"But now, I feel really good to be here in this lab, to be able to spend this time with you two, the two most important friends I have made since I came to this academy, and to accomplish these achievements that I could never have imagined before."

She smiled and looked at Misawa: "What do you think, Dr. Misawa? Are we friends?"

This seemed to be the nickname Judai gave to Misawa at first, because Misawa was always writing and calculating.

"Actually, I wanted to say at first that they weren't really friends, at most they were classmates or colleagues."

Misawa sat upright, closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and spoke awkwardly.

"But now that you know my secret, it seems I have no choice but to admit it."

Asuka burst out laughing.

The bright moonlight poured down like a silver waterfall, gently falling on the quiet stream, reflecting the backs of the three people. The moonlight stretched their shadows long, swaying in the sparkling stream.

"So, we all shared our secrets. Now only Yugen-san hasn't shared an important secret. Isn't that a bit cunning?" Asuka suddenly said half-jokingly.

"Maybe I'm just a boring person." You Xuan smiled, "People with no stories naturally have no secrets to tell."

"Huh, you? No story?" Dr. Misawa laughed.

Who in the entire college would believe this?
"Ahem, then why don't we talk about the issue that is currently circulating in the academy and that everyone is most concerned about?"

"What?"

"That's the one who said you knew President Kaiba." Asuka was looking forward to it. "What is your relationship? How do you know such a person?"

You Xuan: “.”
