Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1582 Academy Cadres
"So it really is an 'academy'."

You Xuan also saw the academy officer who had suddenly appeared and blocked the way for the game. However, after thinking about it, he decided not to show himself.

Yugi Muto wasn't at max level at this time, and he knew that. He had almost no real combat experience now, and most of his duels were fought by Pharaoh, so his strength was definitely not comparable to his peak.

Even so, Yuugen still felt that Yugi Muto was not so easy to defeat.

You Xuan remained calm and continued to follow Rebecca as she exited through the back door.

Following the little girl for a while longer, I saw her weaving through the streets and alleys, finally stopping after running for quite some time.

A person emerged from the shadows, seemingly someone was already waiting there to meet them.

Rebecca reached out and handed over the Millennium Puzzle, which the man in the shadows took. The man stepped out; he was a strong and powerful man with an upright posture, and his very stance exuded a chilling aura.

The man took the blocks, examined the chain in front of him for a few seconds, and said, "It's definitely genuine. This should satisfy that gentleman's request."

He paused, glanced at Rebecca whose eyes had lost their luster and who looked like a doll, and said indifferently.

"Well, it seems to be just an unconscious doll after all. Although it can follow certain commands, it doesn't seem to be completely unaware that it has a tail."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up, his gaze sharply fixed on a certain spot in the air.

A few seconds later, transparent ripples appeared in the air, and the D-Wheel was revealed after its invisibility was deactivated.

You Xuan leaped off the D-wheel and landed on the ground, chuckling, "These guys from the academy are pretty good. They could detect me even when I was invisible. Were they just relying on their senses?"

“I am Max, the adjutant of the Basic Dimensional Academy Army,” the man said coldly. “The academy’s elites are selected from countless dimensional wars. They are all the elite of the elite. Even the slightest trace of killing intent cannot escape my senses.”

“Killing intent, huh? I see.” You Xuan nodded.

“You don’t seem to be an ordinary person either.” Academy cadre Max glanced at the D-Wheel that Yu Xuan jumped down from. “This is not something that should exist in this era. This is a D-Wheel, a product that only exists in dimensions where the concept of ‘synchronization’ exists.”

"Are you from the same dimension as me?"

"Oh, as expected of the academy, you know quite a lot," You Xuan said. "Then let me guess, are you teaming up with some ugly, love-starved, and very flamboyant guy named Zorc?"

He pointed to the Millennium Blocks that Max was carrying.

"Is that what Zorc wants?"

Max's pupils contracted slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

What dimension does this guy come from? How does he know about Lord Zorc?
He didn't answer, but silently put the blocks behind him and indifferently activated the Duel Disk.

"Although I don't know exactly which dimension you come from, you know far too much, posing a threat to the Academy," Max said coldly. "All threats to the Academy meet only one end."

"Oh, really? That's interesting."

You Xuan took two steps back and also unfolded his duel disk.

"I was just wondering what other capabilities your 'academy' has. Wait a moment, let me see what we should use today."

As he spoke, he ran his fingers across several card boxes on his person, muttering, "Whichever card I pick is the one I get."

"Alright, you're the one!" He said, casually pulling out a deck and stuffing it into the Duel Disk without even looking at it. Max frowned: "This guy..."

He noticed that the guy opposite him seemed to be carrying quite a few decks. And the deck he was currently using seemed to be randomly selected based entirely on his mood.
“Foolish,” Max said coldly.

Normally, any duelist only has one deck that they are best at. Even if some people are good at switching between multiple decks, they will still have one strongest option.

The person opposite him seemed to consider him a true opponent, and didn't even seem to have any intention of bringing out their strongest deck. To underestimate him, a mere lieutenant of the Basic Dimensional Academy, to this extent was utterly foolish.

“Since you’re in such a hurry to get going,” Max said, drawing five cards and stepping back to his feet, “I’ll grant your wish.”

"Duel!" x2
[Max, LP4000]

[Yu Xuan, LP4000]

The indicator light on Max's duel disk lit up, signifying that he had gained the right to choose whether to go first or second in this duel.

Without the slightest hesitation, Max chose to go first.

“Even a lion hunting a rabbit will use its full strength against the elites of the Academy Army, so I choose to attack first,” Max said. “And the moment I gain the first strike, the game will already be over!”

"Oh, really?" You Xuan yawned. "Then hurry up and finish it."

“As you wish. First up is this card,” Max said. “I usually summon ‘Clockwork Magician’.”

The little mechanical magician was summoned and jumped onto the stage. The golden spring on his back spun with a creaking sound, and the mechanical power propelled the little magician forward, waving a metal staff in his hand.

Clockwork Magician, Attack Power 600

"Wow, it's a wind-up toy." You Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "This is really something."

He couldn't possibly forget the clockwork mechanism.

After all, this was a very ferocious top-tier deck when the Xyz era first began.

“Although I don’t know which dimension you come from, as an academy executive and with this deck as my opponent, and having the first turn,” Max said confidently, “you have absolutely no chance.”

"Is that so?" You Xuan smiled nonchalantly. "A clockwork mechanism, indeed very powerful. But I'll give you a little advice as well."

Max: "Oh?"

“In our world—no, in this multiverse—don’t place too much faith in the power of ‘card decks,’” You Xuan said with a smile. “After all, in the end, it’s the duelist who wins the duel, not the card deck.”

"Ha, outdated notions," Max said calmly. "Decks are power, they are divine weapons. Those who wield powerful weapons will win; that's an eternal truth. Saying something like that only proves you haven't seen a truly powerful weapon that can create a significant difference in skill."

Now I'll show you this power!

As Max spoke, he revealed the magic card in his hand again.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Hand Elimination'. Both players discard all cards from their hands to the Graveyard, and then draw and discard the same number of cards from their decks."
