Chapter 48: Farewell Duel! A Promise of a Lifetime

Center Court

Yuya woke up and he found himself being carried by Gongenzaka, piggyback style. "Gongenzaka?" Yuya spoke.

"You're awake." Gongenzaka said.

"Yuya, are you okay?" Yuzu came up to him.

"Yeah." Yuya got off of Gongenzaka's back. "I guess the Duels finally took their toll on me."

"Well, you did just do two stressful Duels in a row. It's understandable that you would be exhausted." Rin said.

"Where are we?" Yuya asked.

"We're about to enter the Center Court." Sawatari explained. "And Leo Corporation is gonna make an announcement."

"Probably about Academia." Yuya guessed.

The gates then opened before them.

"The Maiami Championship Junior Youth Tournament!" Nico announced. "After surviving a long 24 hours of fierce battles, our winners have returned here and stand before us in our very own LDS Center Court! Please welcome them back with a standing ovation!"

The audience cheered as Yuya, Yuzu, Ruri, Rin, Serena, Gongenzaka, Sawatari, Shun, Dennis, Tsukikage, Hikage and Mieru entered the arena.

"There's Big Bro Yuya!" Tatsuya smiled as he held a plaque for being the runner-up in the Junior Class.

"Big Sis Yuzu, Ruri, Rin and Serena are there too!" Ayu was happy that they all survived against the Rare Hunters.

"I'm so relieved that they all survived." Yoko was relieved. She was worried for them, especially Yuya, since he was knocked out by Seeker's God Exodia.

"And Serena kept her promise! I'm glad that all of my students made it out in one piece!" Shuzo expressed pride.

"Shivers! Shivers! Shivers!" Futoshi danced in his seat.

The group stopped at the center of the stage where screens showed their faces. "Yuya and Yuzu look pretty tired." Shuzo noticed that both of them had some scratches and dirt on their faces and clothes.

"Gongenzaka looks about the same as usual, though." Ayu pointed out.

"Sawatari looks little beat up too." Tatsuya noticed that Sawatari's clothes were tattered.

"Hm?" Yoko saw Mieru in the group. "Wait, didn't that girl lose her first-round match against that Tsukikage ninja?" She read up on the matchups and could've sworn that Mieru lost, so she shouldn't have been in the Battle Royal.

"Now before we move on to tally the Pendulum Cards, we like to give a special thanks to one of the Duelists standing before us." Nico announced. "Will Serena of You Show Duel School please step forward."

"Me?" Serena questioned.

"Go ahead, Serena." Yuzu pushed her forward.

Serena walked forward and Nico approached her. "Even though you weren't an official participant in the Battle Royal, you Dueled to save us from the captivity of the Ghouls. As such, we like to present you with this." Nico held up a medal. "Normally, this medal would be given to the Duelist who has performed the best throughout the Maiami Championship, but as a show of gratitude, we'd like you to accept it. Everyone, applaud if you agree with me!"
