Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1578 Rebecca Under Target

A blonde girl skipped and hopped down the street, a duel disk on her arm, her golden twin tails swaying on either side, humming a little tune.

“Darling has come to the US, I have to treat her well~” The girl smiled happily.

Her name is Rebecca Hopkins. She won the U.S. Duel Championship at the age of 12 and has top-notch computer skills that can easily crack the firewall of the Hikvision Group. She is a super prodigy.

However, after meeting Yugi Muto, Rebecca became deeply infatuated with him and considered herself his girlfriend. Whenever she saw Yugi, she would hug him passionately and affectionately, calling him "Darling".

Rebecca was also fully aware that there was a second soul within the game. She could distinguish the differences between the two games perfectly, and she knew for certain that her Darling was the seemingly weaker, outward personality.

Rebecca prefers the real Yugi Muto as he is, not the cool guy who only comes online temporarily during duels.

At that moment, a voice rang out from behind: "You, don't you seem to know Yugi Muto quite well?"

Rebecca turned around and saw the strangely dressed man behind her with a puzzled look.

His bizarre attire, complete with a cape, made him look like he was cosplaying some anime character. The man wore a strangely shaped dueling disk she'd never seen before on his arm, but that was enough to tell he was a duelist.

Rebecca then gave a sly smile: "Ah, so you want to get Darling's autograph through me? After all, Darling is a celebrity, and there are quite a few people like you. It's really a headache."

The girl put her hands on her hips and said with a smile, "But unfortunately, getting the Duel King's autograph isn't that easy."

“It’s alright. My name is Victor Rex.” The man sneered, flicking his cloak and raising his Duel Disk. “My target is you, Rebecca Hopkins. Or rather, using you to get close to Yugi Muto will increase the chances of my plan succeeding.”

"what?"

Rebecca also realized that the atmosphere was not right, so she suppressed her smile and stared at the man named Victor for two seconds.

“Although I don’t quite understand, there’s one thing I’m sure of: you want to harm Darling, right?” the girl asked.

Victor activated the Duel Disk and did not reply.

"Heh, I don't know what your purpose is, but you actually dare to challenge me, the All-American Champion." Rebecca's Duel Disk also activated, drawing five cards into her hand. "If you think you can bully me just because I'm young, you're sorely mistaken!"

"Duel!" x2
Rebecca, LP4000

[Victor, LP4000]

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

Rebecca took the first shot.

"You're just unlucky to draw a rare card right away," Rebecca laughed. "Then let me summon it right away!"
Sapphire Dragon is in attack stance!

A clear, transparent blue gem floated above Rebecca's field. The gem shone brightly, then shattered with a cracking sound, transforming from its gem form into a dragon form, though still covered in a dazzling blue gem, its entire body reflecting a crystalline light.

[Sapphire Dragon, Attack Power 1900]

Rebecca: "The round is over."

Victor squinted at the dragon for a moment, then let out a low, cold laugh.

"Hmph. Hehehe. Hahahaha—"

The sneer turned into an arrogant, upturned laugh, as if the surging emotions could not be contained.

Rebecca frowned: "What's so funny?"

"Sorry, it's just that I haven't seen a pure duel like this in a long time. Can you imagine?" Victor laughed. "It's like seeing an uncivilized native waving a primitive wooden stick and showing off." Having only one ordinary skeleton with no special abilities left on the field is probably quite common in this era.

Oh right, this girl also mentioned that she's some kind of All-American champion, right? A four-star lower-tier character with 1900 attack power is probably considered very strong for this era.

Victor's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"Then I'll give you that chance. Show me what you're capable of, caveman. My turn, draw a card."

He drew the card, glanced at it casually, and then slapped it down.

"Set one card face down, and the turn ends."

"what?"

Rebecca was puzzled.

Is it possible to end your turn with only face-down cards and no monsters even summoned, resulting in a hand error?
No, judging from this person's confident demeanor, it doesn't seem quite right.

Judging from the current situation, the opponent is definitely pinning their hopes on that face-down card in the back row. It might even be a powerful card like "Divine Shield - Mirror Force".

Rebecca took a deep breath and laughed, "If you think a trap can stop me, you're underestimating me!"

Victor gave a strange, forced smile and said, "Is that so? Then feel free to try."

"My turn, draw!" Rebecca declared. "I tribute 'Sapphire Dragon' to summon this Level 6 card."

She removed the Sapphire Dragon from her Duel Disk and placed a new monster card in its place in the monster zone. A stream of colored data rolled across her old-fashioned Duel Disk, extracting the data and projecting it onto the field as an image.

Its emerald-like luster shattered like glass being broken. Amidst the countless fragments, a giant dragon spread its wings, its beautiful body reflecting the light of the jade.

[Jade Dragon, Attack Power 2400]

"Wow, another rare card?"

Victor smiled with more interest, but it was more like watching a monkey in a circus.

“Your smugness ends here,” Rebecca said confidently. “You’re so confident even though there are no monsters. Your confidence probably comes from that face-down card in the back row, doesn’t it?”
"Now I'll shatter that source of your confidence!"

Rebecca then played another card from her hand: "Activate the Spell Card 'Hawk Feather Duster'!"
This card can destroy all Spell and Trap cards on your opponent's field!

A pure white wing appeared, and a transparent storm arose, as if to overturn the entire field. Victor's only face-down card on the bare field was instantly flipped open and torn to shreds in mid-air.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The only remaining point of defense was torn apart, but Victor let out an even more triumphant laugh.

"The mind of a primitive monkey is indeed too easy to see through. Just because I only have this face-down card on the field, it judges that this is my only defense and tries to destroy it. It's ridiculously naive."

As he spoke, he raised his hand.

"You should see for yourself what kind of card you just destroyed."

Trap Card 'Cursed Coffin'!
When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, your opponent must choose one of two effects to apply.

Discard one card from your hand randomly, or you must destroy one monster you control!
