Who let him play Yu-Gi-Oh!

For a while, Daitokuji really felt that he was dead.

He felt like he was falling, falling continuously, as if he was sinking into the deep sea. There was endless darkness in all directions, and the heavy water pressure made it hard for him to breathe. He sank all the way down until he reached the bottom of the water, unable to breathe.

So this is what death feels like.

He sighed inwardly.

However, just as he accepted this setting and followed the flow, heading towards the depths of hell, he suddenly felt that the process had stopped. It was as if some invisible force grabbed him, stopped him from sinking, and dragged his consciousness up quickly without explanation.

"Meow~"

It was the touch of a cat licking his cheek.

Daitokuji opened his eyes dazedly, and just as his vision refocused, he saw the Pharaoh in front of him. The fat cat licked his cheek and rubbed his furry head against him.

"Pharaoh?"

Daitokuji forced himself to sit up with some difficulty and looked around blankly.

"I'm alive?"

The shabby room was filled with various alchemical equipment covered with white cloth. He was lying on a dirty old table, and the ceiling was covered with spider webs.

Turning his head and looking carefully, he saw You Xuan debugging the alchemy equipment that had just been started.

Noticing Daitokuji waking up, he turned and smiled at him.

"Sorry, teacher, it looks like you want to exit a little too early."

Daitokuji got up reluctantly.

"Did you save me with alchemy? Your alchemy class was not in vain. You are probably the most successful student I have ever taught in my teaching career, although this doesn't make much sense."

He coughed again, stood up straight and said.

"The crux of the problem lies in this body. You saw what happened to my last body. This body has reached the end of its lifespan.

Even if you saved me temporarily this time, it would only extend my life for a few more days."

"Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this," You Xuan said, "but in the last few days, I hope the teacher can do me a small favor, okay?"

Daitokuji narrowed his eyes even tighter, caressing the cat casually with his hand.

"Haha, after all this time, it turns out that I can still use my teacher. But let me be frank first. I am almost dying. I will help if I can, but I am afraid there is not much more you can do now."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." You Xuan said with a smile, "But if my intelligence is correct, the next meeting of the Seven Stars will be next week, right?"

"Wow, you know it very well." Daitokuji nodded, "Then what else do you need the teacher to do?"

"It's nothing." You Xuan said, "I just wanted to take advantage of the meeting to get things done, hoping that the teacher would be there to help say something.

Because even among the Seven Stars, the teacher is the person the chairman trusts the most, right? "

"Of course you can, but what do you need me to say?" Daitokuji said, "I told you that the current chairman is very different from the past.

The current chairman of the board doesn’t see anyone, and he won’t show up in person even next week.”

"It's okay, I have a plan." You Xuan smiled.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Daitokuji shrugged, then he looked at his duel disk and the deck on it, which had been thrown on the ground.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "But that's next week. Nothing else will happen before then, right?"

"That's all." You Xuan said, "Teacher, you can go back to the academy or continue to be missing. I won't tell anyone else."

"Haha, then I have to thank you."

Daitokuji smiled, leaned over to pick up the duel disk, and put it back on.

"Teacher, are you going to take action?"

"Yes. There are still a few students who are still worried." He smiled and said, "In the last days, let the teacher give them a last lesson."

evening.

The setting sun poured down on the vast sea like molten gold, dyeing the sky and waves into brilliant orange-red. The huge passenger ship slowly passed through this magnificent painting, leaving a long trail.

That was the ferry returning to Duel Academy.

Katsuya Jonouchi was sitting in the restaurant of the cruise ship, leaning over the table and facing the communication terminal in his hand. On the other side of the communication screen was his recently met friend Judai.

Jonouchi scratched his head.

"Sorry for being two days late. It's all because of that guy Wu. He was so annoying. He kept me busy for two days without any energy at all. But it's okay. I'm on my way back now. I'll start the work in the evening when I get back."

But just as he said this, the picture began to distort, and the image of the tenth generation on the opposite side began to flicker.

"Wow? Can you hear me? Is this thing still on?"

Jonouchi shook the communication terminal with the KC logo on it vigorously.

It would have been fine if there was no shaking, but the shaking caused the picture to be lost directly and a line of big words "No Signal" popped up.

"What the hell? Nothing produced by Kaiba is good."

Jonouchi grumbled.

Maybe we just happened to reach a sea area with no signal.

He stood up as he thought about this. According to the estimate, it would take about an hour to get there, so he planned to go back to his room to rest. He would probably arrive there after a short rest.

But halfway through his walk he began to feel something was wrong.

Where have the people gone?

In this huge restaurant, he was the only one left without knowing when.

It was around dinner time now, and he was clearly not the only one on the boat.

And even if the other passengers were in their rooms and did not come out, where were the restaurant staff?

He was sure that there should have been at least a waiter standing at the door when he came in. There were waiters coming and going from time to time in the restaurant, and the chef should have been visible behind a window.

But now the whole restaurant is empty, without a single soul in sight.

Today, Jonouchi is no longer the reckless rookie he once was.

Well, he might still be a bit reckless, but at least he was no longer a rookie. He had experienced many battles, big and small, and had faced the world-destroying demon gods such as Olihagang's snake god and the great evil god Zok. He had also developed some resistance to various strange and abnormal phenomena.

After walking around the boat and making sure that he was the only one on board, he realized that someone was causing trouble and calmed down.

"If you want to cause trouble for your uncle Jonouchi, then don't hide." Jonouchi said, "Just come directly."

After the words were spoken, only a few seconds passed before someone actually responded.

"Haha, you are indeed a legendary duelist. You are not panicking at all in this situation."

Jonouchi turned around and saw that the person coming out from behind him was a silver-haired woman. Her facial features had some Western characteristics, but her face was as cold as frost.

"You shouldn't have returned to this world, Jonouchi Katsuya."
