Samejima

Principal Samejima, the chancellor of the Duel Academy in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.

This guy seemed to be an important character, but in fact, there were very few scenes and stories for Mr. Principal throughout the story.

In contrast, from the perspective of perception, perhaps this Mr. Principal should actually be closer to an NPC.

In the Rise of Three Sacred Beasts arc, he was responsible for issuing tasks to the protagonists and promoting the development of the plot. Immediately after the completion of the work, he disappeared on a business trip.

In the following arc, the principal invited "Professor Cobra" from another school to hold a competition in the Duel Academy. However, when the teachers found out that the students dueling in the competition would be drained of their energy and suffer serious injuries, they wanted to go to the principal to apply for termination of the competition, but the principal… went on a business trip again!

He stayed in the office all day and didn't come out, then disappeared as soon as something happens in the academy, and no one could get in touch with him due to "talking business trips". In the early stage of the plot, he even gave people a feeling that "Mr. Principal is the BOSS behind the stage"...

Of course, after reading the whole story of GX, you would find that although Mr. Principal has various flaws, he was still a pretty good person in general.

It's just that his teaching ability may be questionable…

And at this moment, Yuei Vu, as the Duel King and the representative of Kaiba Corp, has come to the dojo of Principal Samejima — or he should be called Master Samejima now.

Yes, that's right, it's a dojo, giving people a strong sense of being "Gym Leaders"…

As explained later in the GX animation, Principal Samejima was originally the first teacher of the "Cyber Art Dojo" before he came to Duel Academy as the principal.

Long before the establishment of the Duel Academy, he had received many children who were enthusiastic and talented in dueling in his own dojo and trained them to become excellent duelists in his own way.

The first powerhouse in Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Ryo Marufuji, nicknamed "Kaiser Ryo" in the Duel Academy, was the number one disciple of Samejima himself.

Hearing that Yuei Vu was coming, Samejima Shifan went all the way to meet him. He was really embarrassed to bother the Duel King to come so far.

Yuei Vu took off the windshield goggles, patted the snowflakes on the down jacket, and said that it was really troublesome.

Can you believe that you have to climb a snow-capped mountain just to play cards?

When you establish a dojo, it's fine if the address is set in such a place where the birds don't shit, but why should it be built on the top of a snow-capped mountain?

Samejima enthusiastically led Yuei Vu in and explained: "Our dojo is set up here to sharpen the minds of the duelists who come here to study. We believe that only those who are strong enough to endure hardships and have excellent character can become first-rate duelists…"

Yuei Vu: "…"

Samejima touched his bald forehead embarrassingly: "I'm really sorry for making you spend so much effort. Because I want the children in the dojo to see you no matter what…"

Yuei Vu waved his hand generously: "It's okay, it's really not hard."

It's really not hard.

Because he was basically brought up by the Dark Magician Girl…

Walking into the dojo, there were the orderly and loud shouts of the young people who were cultivating hard——

——"Draw! Draw! Draw!…"

A large group of teenagers wearing uniforms stood in a phalanx in the hall, repeating the standard card-drawing gestures in unison. It looked like disciples in a martial art field practicing some kind of martial arts moves… …

Yuei Vu: "…"

That's why it was said that his teaching ability was open to question.

Because the main educational policy of Samejima was neither to build reasonable decks, nor cultivate tactical thinking, nor study routines.

The core of their training in the Cyber Art Dojo was divine draw…

So there were so many scenes of students practicing the correct card-drawing posture day after day.

The most frightening thing is that the genius boy Ryo Marufuji has actually achieved great success by following the guidance of Samejima.

When Ryo Marufuji has cultivated to perfection, from the 40-card deck, he could draw three Cyber Dragons plus a Fusion spell. The power of 502 was full, and even President Kaiba said he was an expert…

A group of teenagers caught sight of Yuei Vu entering the door. All of them were blinded by gold lights. They quickly swarmed up, arguing endlessly.

"Duel King Yuei Vu!"

"Not on TV, but in real life!

"The kind that is alive and moving…"

After coming to this world for so long, now Yuei Vu was familiar with how to deal with enthusiastic fans (or bootlickers).

There was no way, because he was too handsome, he was prone to all kinds of troubles.

There are many things in life that you can't change, you can only work hard to adapt.

Yuei Vu also took a closer look and found that Ryo did not seem to be here.

It may be too early, Ryo hasn't joined the Cyber Art Dojo yet.

Yuei Vu was surrounded by many teenagers, at this time Samejima coughed and stepped forward in due course.

"Actually, this time I would like to trouble you, Mr. Yuei Vu, to come here, to our Cyber Art Dojo… I still have a heartfelt request."

"Oh." Yuei Vu nodded, "You want a duel, right?"

"Actually, I…eh?" Samejima Sensei was surprised. "Why did you…?"

Yuei Vu smiled.

Isn't that nonsense?

Ever since he became such a Duel King, Yuei Vu said that he has not seen anyone who doesn't want to duel with him…

"That's right." Samejima touched his bald head embarrassingly, "I know this is a bit abrupt. Of course, you can refuse. But I just hope to have this opportunity to let my students see a real duel of the strong, broaden their vision…"

"I see." Yuei Vu smiled. "I accept this duel."

A group of teenagers in the dojo exploded in an instant.

Samejima-sensei went into battle in person, and the opponent was the Duel King himself!

The children instantly entered the audience mode and prepared popcorn and peanuts to watch in the front row.

The witty Yuei Vu has long expected that he now has the physique of "being caught playing cards when going out", so even if he came to climb the snow-capped mountains, he did not forget to bring his Duel Disk.

Now it really came in handy.

"Duel!" x2

[Yuei Vu, LP 4000]

[Samejima, LP 4000]

Since the opponent was the first master of Cyber Art, there was no suspense about the deck he would use.

Cyber Dragon should be regarded as one of the most successful decks in GX. Even today, more than ten years later, this deck still had a large number of diehard fans, and its popularity was not low.

But since the opponent used Cyber Dragon, then Yuei Vu thought, with his pitiful 20 points of luck, the random result of the first striker, of course, would be…

"I'll go first, draw."

Yuei Vu drew the card calmly as if everything was expected.
