Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1586 What's in the academy is mine

"How can it be"

Max is questioning the meaning of life.

I lost? How could I, with such a deck and such power, still lose?

"Why?" Max asked, puzzled. "The power of a clockwork is supposed to be unstoppable. I went first and wiped out all your cards, leaving you with no cards to play. How could this be...why...?"

"That's why I said it." You Xuan shrugged and stepped forward, saying, "You said that card decks are like divine weapons, which is certainly true. Of course, those who have stronger weapons have an advantage."

But before that, winning a duel depends on the duelist, not just the deck. What threat can even the most powerful weapon pose in the hands of a three-year-old?

Max's gaze was unfocused, and he said blankly, "A three-year-old child. Me?"

No wonder the opponent didn't show the slightest sign of tension even though their hand was wiped out at the start and they faced my impenetrable formation.

No wonder he maintained such a lazy attitude throughout, looking completely unmotivated, and always smiling as he spoke, as if he had no idea what his situation was.

After all that, it turns out that it was actually me who hadn't figured out my situation.

Max's consciousness began to fade, and he felt himself being gradually swallowed by darkness.

From this person's perspective, they were probably just an arrogant and ignorant kid from beginning to end, which is why they were so relaxed.
"Don't get too cocky," Max said with his last breath. "You defeated me, but... cough cough, the Commander is much stronger than me. His words..."

"Commander? Oh, you mean that one from just now? So your commander is using some kind of deck that's ahead of its time."

You Xuan had already picked up the thousand-year-old building block that had fallen to the side. He smiled and said.

"In that case, how about we make a bet?"

"Do you believe that Yugi Muto, the duelist king of this dimension and this era, can crush your commander with just his ancient mortal deck?"

Max: "."

Are you kidding me?
Although the guy in front of him was strong, he still managed to defeat him using cards he had never seen before, such as Kaiju or Tire Dragon.

As for Yugi Muto? He uses an outdated deck of cards that would have been considered a museum piece by the time they were in their academy.

Do you think you can defeat Commander's invincible Dragon Conqueror with something like that?

What an international joke.

But he could no longer refute it, because his last bit of strength had completely dissipated.

Upon detecting his defeat, Max's execution program on his Duel Disk was activated. After a burst of light, Max's body disintegrated, and the scattered light particles gathered into a card, which gently drifted to the ground.

The loser will be sealed into a card; that's the academy's rule, and even their own people are no exception. You Xuan glanced at Max, who had become a card.

"It really is a disciplined academy. Well, that makes sense." You Xuan thought about it and felt that there was a reason for doing so.

If this academy's army were to invade countless dimensions, it would inevitably encounter native dark duelists in many of them. And if the academy's warriors were to be defeated, they would easily leak military intelligence to their opponents due to the rules of dark duels, or worse, they might become slaves of their opponents and infiltrate their own academy.

If even such a basic problem cannot be solved, then there is no way to launch any interdimensional war.

Therefore, the forced activation of the "defeat turns into a glitch" program was likely designed to solve this problem. Even if an ally is defeated, the program will be forcibly activated, effectively preventing friendly prisoners from being used by the enemy.

Although he had some expectations, Yu Xuan still checked the duel disk that his opponent had dropped.

As expected, it's still a card-based duel board; there are no physical cards to capture, which is a bit of a shame.

Even so, a bold idea still flashed through You Xuan's mind.

Since the data for the Clockwork Deck exists, that means that the Clockwork Deck itself must exist in the dimension that Max comes from, at the headquarters of his "Academy," right?
After all, if the main deck doesn't even have its own deck, where does the data come from?

Furthermore, as far as we know, this "academy" is at least a place that integrates Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Summoning spells, so the high-level decks they possess must include more than just Clockwork.

So as long as I can find the location of this "academy" headquarters, invade the academy, occupy the headquarters—no, I mean overthrow the tyranny and uphold justice—wouldn't all the cards in their inventory then belong to me?

Thinking of this, You Xuan suddenly felt that the actions of these people in launching wars and plundering the natives of other dimensions were extremely despicable, and that a capable and righteous person was needed to overthrow and stop them.

Upon further reflection, Youxuan felt that he was quite righteous, possessing a compassionate heart and, in particular, the ability to empathize with the decks. So many powerful and excellent spirits were forced to aid and abet evil, and the power of Duel Monsters was used by these evil forces. They must have been forced into a tragic situation, waiting for a wise ruler to follow them and guide them onto a brighter and more righteous path.

Thinking about it this way, You Xuan felt even more that his path was very bright, and he was always ready to guide lost spirits. He even felt uncomfortable thinking about how many good cards were still in other people's warehouses. No, it was more like how many lost spirits were waiting to be liberated that he felt sorrow and deeply felt that justice must be served.

So You Xuan decided that he would definitely go to the academy if he had the chance in the future—of course, he still had to assess the threat first and bring along more reliable teammates of the Duel King level to be on the safe side.

However, if the Max we just encountered is already a high-ranking officer in the academy, then opponents of this level are probably not a cause for concern.

Anyway, the academy has already planned to go. You Xuan thought to himself. He already knew that the academy had at least the Clockwork deck in its inventory, so rounding up, the deck was practically his. It was just temporarily stored in the academy's warehouse before he went to pick it up.

You Xuan carried the captured Millennium Building Blocks and started walking back.

The person just used a clockwork mechanism, so maybe the academy commander used something similar. It's necessary to observe the commander's skill level first.

Furthermore, he assumed that the deck used by the commander was already his own, and he was just waiting to pick it up and sign for it at the academy. Since it was his own deck, it was necessary to understand what it was before signing for it.

Furthermore, according to the original work, Yugi hasn't fought many people at this stage, and it's uncertain whether he can defeat Yugen without the Millennium Puzzle. Just to be on the safe side, it would be safer to return the Millennium Puzzle to him as soon as possible before the duel ends.
