A month later. With the final assessment for third-year students concluded, the middle school was also about to usher in the students' vacation. And recently, the most talked-about topic was the duel between third-year top student Zane Truesdale and first-year top student Jaden Yuki.

Both were the top geniuses of their respective grades. One of them had already clearly entered the Duel Academy's Obelisk Blue dorm. The other was about to step into the professional league, a rising star about to emerge in the professional arena. This duel naturally became the focus of the entire school.

Inside the gymnasium, the dueling arena had been set up. The brand-new dueling facilities were only brought out by Duel Academy for important occasions. Zane Truesdale stood below the dueling stage, arms crossed, silently looking at the stage.

"Jaden Yuki..." He looked forward to his match against Jaden Yuki. It was a nearly fated clash between geniuses. He wanted to continuously perfect his dueling and challenge even stronger opponents. And Jaden Yuki was, at this moment, Zane Truesdale's ultimate goal at Duel Academy. For this, a month ago, at the campus duel festival, he left the academy and went to his master, Aster Phoenix, to further study the Cyber Dragon archetype.

"Will the evolved Cyber Dragon archetype be a match for your [Heroes]... Jaden?"

July. The last day before Duel Academy's summer break. All teachers and students gathered in the gymnasium. The spacious gymnasium was now filled with Duel Academy students. Almost everyone was looking forward to this duel. Everyone wanted to know which of these two geniuses would prove superior.

In the crowd, Alexis Rhodes stood among the students, gravely watching the dueling stage. At this moment, Zane Truesdale had already donned his Duel Disk and stood on the dueling stage. Jaden Yuki was nowhere to be seen yet. However, with half an hour left until the duel, no one was in a hurry.

But, looking at the empty space in front of Zane Truesdale, Alexis's heart was quite complex.

"Jaden Yuki, his last duel in middle school..." After this, when they met again, she didn't know how long it would be.

"I never thought Zane would choose Jaden Yuki for his final battle before advancing..."

"Eh? Brother?" Atticus Rhodes's voice suddenly rang beside Alexis's ear. Seeing Atticus appear beside her with a playful smile, Alexis's grave expression instantly became a little subtle.

"Why are you here?"

"Hey, this is my friend Zane's duel, of course I'd be here." Atticus Rhodes chuckled. "Speaking of which, Zane looks really handsome today, doesn't he? Should I introduce you...?"

"Hmm?" Alexis gave Atticus a sidelong glance. That dangerous look instantly made Atticus speechless.

"Heh heh, just kidding, just kidding..." Scratching his head, Atticus gave an awkward laugh.

"Hmph..." Alexis crossed her arms and looked away.

"Hey! Jaden Yuki's here!"

At that moment, in the crowd, someone shouted. Everyone turned to look towards the entrance. They saw a young man in a black jacket with brown jellyfish hair, wearing a Duel Disk, walking in from the entrance.

"Ah! Jaden-kun!" In the crowd, many fangirls let out small cries. It had to be said, Jaden, with his slightly aloof demeanor, indeed had the charm to make teenage girls scream. Not just girls. Even some boys found themselves unable to resist such a Jaden Yuki. Both genders, their eyes sparkling, watched Jaden Yuki walk in. The entire gymnasium was filled with a strong "Yu-Gi-Oh" atmosphere.

"Zane, I'm here."

Jaden Yuki tried his best to ignore the strange looks from the audience below. He walked onto the dueling stage and looked at Zane Truesdale. His duel with Zane Truesdale was something Jaden Yuki had been thinking about for the past few days, in addition to pondering the pro league.

The Cyber Dragon deck had an extremely powerful destructive force against "Yin-style" decks. Coupled with Cyber Dragon's not-so-weak OTK ability, in an era where everyone only had 4000 LP, it was very easy to achieve a One-Turn Kill. In his duel with Zane Truesdale, even a slight mistake could lead to a complete defeat.

However, Jaden Yuki would not abandon his "Dark Hero" path. Therefore, today, he had specially prepared a few cards for Zane Truesdale. He hoped that this third-year top student would remember the name Jaden Yuki for the rest of his life.

"Jaden, let's begin, our duel." Zane Truesdale unfolded his Duel Disk and looked at Jaden Yuki.

"Mm, Zane." Jaden Yuki also unfolded his Duel Disk. Under the nervous gaze of all the students, the two each drew five cards from their decks.

"DUEL!"
