Six years later. April.
Located in Neo Domino City, in the heart of the dueling metropolis, Duel Academy Middle School Division welcomed a new batch of students from all corners of the world.
The young people who could enter Duel Academy's Middle School Division were, without exception, rising stars in the dueling world. Here, they would spend three years studying dueling. After their assessments, their scores would determine whether they could advance to Duel Academy's High School Division and become true elite duelists.
"Wow~ This is Duel Academy, the place that cultivates elite duelists from all over the world."
"Wow~ It looks amazing. Just thinking about studying here in the future makes my heart pound with excitement."
Outside the academy, two girls were excitedly looking at their new surroundings. Hamaguchi Momoe and Takeshita Junko. The two girls stood by the roadside, gazing around.
"Ah, it's Asuka." "Hey, Asuka, over here!" Looking at the blonde girl walking out of the academy gate, dragging a suitcase, Momoe and Junko immediately waved their arms.
"You two, why are you running so fast...?" Unlike her two somewhat rash friends, this girl named Tenjoin Asuka, though young and tender in appearance, spoke with a mature sensibility.
"Today is the day new students arrive, you know. I heard there are a lot of handsome guys at Duel Academy, so of course we have to come and observe them first!" "Look, look, those wearing blue uniforms, they must be second-year students in the Middle School Division, right?" "There are some handsome seniors too!"
"Speaking of which, I heard there's a senior in the Middle School Division named Marufuji Ryo. Not only is he handsome, but his grades are also exceptionally good."
"Huh? That's great. I really want to meet that senior." Seeing her two friends, who she had grown up with, start swooning again, Asuka rubbed her forehead with a headache.
"Isn't the purpose of us attending Duel Academy to become top duelists...? What's the point of looking at handsome guys...?"
"Oh, Asuka, don't be so rigid at a time like this!" "Exactly, exactly~ You can duel whenever you want." Junko and Momoe, grinning, pulled Asuka into the academy.
However, as soon as she turned around, Junko collided with a boy walking towards them. "Hiss, that hurts." Junko stumbled back a few steps, then plopped onto the ground, clutching her butt and wailing in pain.
"Ah... sorry." A nonchalant apology came from in front of her.
An angry Junko was about to stand up and punch the inconsiderate guy in front of her. However, upon closer inspection, Junko's inner rage instantly vanished without a trace.
Brown jellyfish-like hair, remarkably sharp and mature eyes. This person... was a perfect score handsome guy!
Seeing that Junko seemed unharmed, the boy didn't linger. He simply carried his backpack, walked around the three girls, and headed into the academy.
"Are you okay, Junko?" Asuka and Momoe quickly helped Junko up from the ground. "Are you hurt?" "That person, really, why doesn't he watch where he's going?"
"Ah... I'm fine." Junko shook her head, looking at the departing boy with a completely lovesick expression. "That person... is a bit handsome."
"Hm?" Momoe blinked, following Junko's gaze. Indeed. Although his appearance was still somewhat boyish, his mature eyes and a black jacket instantly made his youthful innocence vanish without a trace. It was absolutely no problem to call him handsome!
"Really, lucky~ We met a handsome guy on the first day of school." Momoe happily made a peace sign, giggling, "Junko's collision might even bring her good luck in romance."
"Huh~ Really?" Junko cupped her face, the words 'lovesick' almost written all over her. Only Tenjoin Asuka silently watched the boy's retreating back. She frowned deeply, seemingly pondering something.
"Asuka, what are you looking at? Could it be that you also have a crush on that handsome guy?" Momoe asked Asuka with a mischievous grin. Asuka glared angrily at Momoe: "Of course not." "It's just, don't you two think that person looks a bit familiar?"
"Familiar?" Momoe and Junko exchanged glances.
"Huh, now that Asuka mentions it, he does seem a bit familiar." "I think I've seen him somewhere... Where was it...?"
"Ah! I remember!" Junko suddenly snapped her fingers, exclaiming in surprise. Asuka and Momoe both looked at Junko.
"Isn't he the one who won the junior division championship with a perfect record at the professional dueling arena a year ago?!" "That... The genius duelist boy crowned with the title of [Strongest Hero Owner], Yuuki Judai!"
