Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1472 Something Feels Wrong
After dinner, You Xuan returned to his dormitory, took a shower, and rested for only a short while before hearing two loud bangs at the window.

You Xuan looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw Qianjin's flawless white face pressed against the window, gently tapping on the window with her knuckles.

You Xuan stepped forward and opened the window, where he saw the vampire heiress sitting on the windowsill with her signature parasol, the umbrella swaying on her shoulder as she gently shook her head.

"What? Didn't you say you were going out for some fresh air?" You Xuan asked.

Qianjin hates the sun and spends her days curled up in her deck, fast asleep. Only at night does she sometimes wander around the neighborhood to get some fresh air.

"Yes, I saw some interesting things when I was getting some fresh air."

Qianjin smiled and gestured towards the direction of the shore.

"Our little guest seems to want to 'borrow' a boat to leave this island."

You Xuan: "You Ma?"

Qianjin didn't speak, but simply waved her hand casually. A cloud of black mist gathered, forming a projection-like image in front of Youxuan, showing the situation at the Duel Academy docks like a live video broadcast.

Just then, You Ma was seen furtively looking around. After confirming that no one was around, he secretly jumped into a yacht moored on the shore.

You Xuan looked at Qianjin: "What's going on?"

"It's nothing, he just seems to have received a challenge. It's something called Balian, and it tells him to settle some unfinished business."

As she spoke, Qianjin casually gestured with her two fair, delicate hands in front of her, as if examining her fingernails.

"Tell him he absolutely must go alone or something like that."

You Xuan understood.

The classic protagonist approach—going to the banquet alone, facing the challenge alone, without involving others or affecting teammates. Especially for protagonists who are always used to absorbing pressure for their teammates, this can sometimes be a good idea.

It's not hard to understand why the Jockey Club made this choice.

No matter how outgoing he was, this Duel Academy was still an unfamiliar area for Yuma, and he didn't have a single person he could truly call a companion. In fact, the Xyz Dimension and this place itself carried a certain degree of hostility.

Even though Yuma considers Jaden, who shares the same ideals, as a comrade, he himself doesn't like to trouble his companions or let them take risks for him. Especially since the opponent is the Varia, a problem belonging to their Xyz Dimension, Yuma feels even more that he should solve it alone.

"So, what do we say now?"

The young lady lazily dangled her beautiful legs on the windowsill.

"Should we go?"

"Go ahead, if he doesn't need help, just watch the show." You Xuan smiled. "It'll only take a few minutes, I'll change my clothes and head out."

ZEXAl's story often makes it easy to forget that the leader is just a thirteen-year-old kid, since normally no thirteen-year-old would be able to drive a yacht. However, considering that he can even fly a hang glider and a spaceship that can travel between dimensions, this kind of thing seems like child's play.

Yuma left Academy Island overnight, following the guidance of the card left by the Balian named Vector, and arrived at Domino. This card was like a compass, guiding him the way forward throughout the journey.

Just as Yuugen had guessed, Yuma felt that the Varia were trouble he had brought upon them, enemies of their dimension. He believed that it was because of these guys that their superdimensional dimension was being ostracized here.

Therefore, whether from the perspective of competing for NO. or from any other angle, defeating the Balian should be their responsibility.

It was late at night when we landed at Tongshiye. The boats disembarked and went out onto the dock, but the streets outside were deserted.

Yuma held the card in his hand, gazing at the surroundings: "It seems to be around here?"

After passing through several streets, Youma arrived at a small alley. The alley was gloomy and dilapidated, with the sound of water dripping from an old air conditioner unit constantly echoing from its corners.

He studied the guide card in his hand for a while, then scratched his head: "It seems to say it's right here. But I don't have anything here..."

Before he could finish speaking, the card in his hand suddenly burst into flames and was consumed by a burst of black fire until it turned to ashes.

Yuma was startled, and when he looked up, he heard a series of clapping sounds coming from the darkness. The Balian man he had seen before floated out of the air and said with a wicked smile, "You have guts, and you came pretty fast."

“So you’re Vector!” Yuma said.

Barian chuckled and spread his hands, saying, "Exactly. You were lucky the duel was interrupted last time due to the spatial turbulence. But you won't be so lucky this time." "That's what we should be saying!"

The horses were full of fighting spirit.

Astral said from the side, "Be careful of Yuma. I have a bad feeling about this Balian. Maybe there's something going on."

"No matter what, as long as we settle things with a duel, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Yuma said.

The astral body remained silent, seemingly tacitly acknowledging this. Indeed, as long as they won the duel and seized NO., the problem would be easily solved.

But why do I still have this ominous feeling in my heart?

At this point, Yuma and his opponent had separated and were in position, and the Duel Disk had been activated and fixed.

"Duel!" x2
[Yuma, LP 4000]

[Vecuta, LP 4000]

"I'll go first, draw a card!"

Yuma has the first move.

Yuma glanced at his hand and quickly played a card from it.

Normal Summon 'Rumble Ghost' from your hand!

The new rumbling monster made its entrance with that distinctive booming sound. The giant, wielding a greatsword, stood on the racecourse, his armor revealing glimpses of a ghost.

[Rumbling Ghost, Attack Power 1900]

Astral Body: "Let's observe the situation first, then wander around."

"Alright!" Yuma waved his hand and set a card to the back row. "Set one card, end of turn."

As they spoke, the data stream converged on the field, forming a face-down card shape.

"Wait and see? That's more like digging your own grave."

Bekuta gave a sinister, cold laugh.

"My turn, draw a card!"

He drew a card and immediately played the card in his hand.

"I usually summon 'Evil-Eating Spoon Demons'!"

A tiny demon was summoned, barely reaching a person's knees, clad in demonic armor, wielding something that resembled a shovel. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small spoon.

[Evil-Eating Spoon Demon, Attack Power 100]

"Eat evil?" Astral frowned.

This deck series seems to have stirred up some bad memories for him.

"What's going on? This bad feeling..."

In fact, this premonition had been churning in my mind ever since I entered the arena. It just seemed to grow stronger with the appearance of this little monster.

It's as if my own memories are telling me there's danger, but I can't recall where that danger is coming from.

Astral frowned. Right, it seems this Varia named Vector used a different deck during their last duel.

"Yuma, be careful." He didn't know what was going to happen, so he could only warn his teammate, "Something feels off."
