Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

Chapter 102 Speed ​​101 Clear Snow
In the corridor leading to the garage, You Qing was stunned for a moment as he looked at the girl walking towards him.

When I went to visit Mr. Sengzheng at the Jibingliu Gym before, I heard that Tianguang Wulan had an older sister named Tianguang Qingxue, who was not only a top-notch duelist, but also the director of the Jibingliu Gym.

Due to the heavy rain some time ago, Tianguang Qingxue fell seriously ill and was bedridden for a long time, so in this competition, Tianguang Wulan had to take the risk and take on the main responsibility.

It now seemed like a blessing in disguise for Tianguang Wulan. That duel with Jack Atlas had finally earned him the elves' approval, and from now on, he no longer had to worry about the dangers of simulated impacts. Perhaps it was after yesterday's duel that his sister, Tianguang Qingxue, who had been depressed for years, finally let go of her worries and resentment. With joy, her condition improved significantly, and she was even able to attend the competition today.

The satellite area rarely saw warm sunlight, and the soft light filtered through the glass, illuminating Tianguang Qingxue's face. Her features were sharply defined, appearing somewhat cold, but her eyebrows and eyes were remarkably gentle. If Izayoi Akira had a cute face and sharp eyes, then Tianguang Qingxue was the exact opposite.

"You Qing."

While You Qing was still guessing the identity of the girl in front of him, Tianguang Qingxue took the initiative to greet him. Her voice was very clear, but perhaps because her body had not fully recovered, her tone seemed gentle and a little weak.

Tianguang Qingxue smiled gently. She first introduced herself, then bowed slightly to You Qing:
"I am Wu Lan's sister—Tian Guang Qing Xue."

"I'm sorry, Wu Lan was a bit willful before and caused you a lot of trouble."

"The last time you visited the gym, I, as the gym leader, was really rude."

"I hope you'll forgive me."

Her words were very polite, which made You Qing feel a little uncomfortable. He has always been a casual person, and such a formal apology made him feel at a loss and he didn't know how to respond.

"Ah... nothing!" You Qing said honestly, "Wulan and I don't really have any problems. What happened before was a mess, but in the end, no one was really wrong."

"Director Qingxue, the last time I visited was to thank Ji Bingliu."

"You...you are not feeling well, it's not rude!"

Tianguang Qingxue listened with a smile, and finally, seeing You Qing's slightly awkward and reserved look, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Alright! Alright! I was just kidding you, I don't usually talk like that!"

"You're going to play in the game soon, right?"

"Mr. Monk Zheng asked me to give you this card. Maybe after this duel, a miracle will happen~"

You Qing then smiled with relief. He was not very good at dealing with serious social situations like that. Mr. Sengzheng seemed heavy and old-fashioned, but he was a straightforward person, so You Qing could chat with him. But Tianguang Qingxue's appearance just now really made him a little unsure of how to deal with it. After all, in his previous life, such matters were handled by managers, and even in post-match interviews, he only needed to speak some official words casually.

"Miracle?" You Qing looked at the card handed over by Tianguang Qingxue. It was a one-star ice barrier monster - Ice Phoenix.

[Ice Barrier's Banshee: Ice Phoenix]

【one star】

【Water attribute/Aqua】

[Attack/Defense: 300/500]

[Effect: If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, draw a card from your deck.] "Hmm, miracle~" Tianguang Qingxue explained with a smile, "Mr. Monk Zheng said that you had thought about joining the Ice Stream, but unfortunately, you couldn't communicate with the spirits."

"However, in the history of duels, there are cases where a spirit cannot be seen before, but later gains this ability due to some coincidence."

"Mr. Monk Zheng speculates that although the two Pokémon in your deck have a deep bond with you, their energy is very weak. Perhaps if you replace them with a more powerful Pokémon, you will be able to feel the call and gain the ability to communicate with Pokémon."

"This Ice Phoenix is ​​a card spirit I've known since childhood. I'm lending it to you now. You must listen carefully to its voice~"

"If a duelist as skilled as you could join the Ice Style, the gym could truly be restored!"

You Qing took the card. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but the whole card seemed to have a faint chill. However, the chill was not biting, but very comfortable, like a cool breeze in summer.

Carefully examining the elf card in his hand, You Qing felt it attentively, but unfortunately, he still felt nothing.

"Thank you so much!" You Qing said, "I will protect this card well! After this competition is over, I will..."

"Cough cough cough!!"

Before she could finish, Tianguang Qingxue suddenly started coughing violently, her face flushed a little red. Seeing that she was in pain, You Qing stepped forward to help and patted her back.

Soon, the coughing stopped. Tianguang Qingxue straightened up and took the bottle of mineral water from You Qing. She said thank you and was about to drink it when she saw the card deck box that You Qing had been holding. Thinking back to the strange feeling on her back just now, she couldn't help laughing and quickly moved the mineral water away from her mouth: "You, you just used this?"

You Qing nodded and said nonsense seriously, "Ah, yes. Seeing you're in so much pain, of course I have to help."

"But since this is our first meeting, we can't be too offensive. Using a deck box is just right, symbolizing that the bond between us duelists is built with cards!"

"Uh... well! I'm more sensible."

Tianguang Qingxue smiled and said, "Okay, okay, swim with discretion. I wish you good luck in the competition!"

As the two were talking, warm cheers came from the stadium outside the corridor. Chi Yan Lingshi defeated his opponent in three or five rounds. The powerful Jurassic dinosaur roared on the track, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely high.

The next game was about to begin. Tianguang Qingxue said "Come on" one last time and returned to the audience seats. You Qing walked towards the garage while looking at the monster card that housed the Ice Barrier Elf - Ice Phoenix.

The call of the spirits?
Will there really be a sound?
But what if the bird can’t sing?
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the chill on the card surface suddenly became stronger, but returned to normal after a few seconds.

You Qing didn't think any more and put this card into the deck. Although it has the Ice Barrier attribute, its effect is very versatile. At the same time, because it is a water-attribute monster, it can cooperate with some next-generation monsters.

When he reached the garage door, he heard footsteps behind him.

The mysterious duelist in a loose black robe said nothing and walked straight towards the black D wheel in the corner.

You Qing turned his head and took a look. It was not the Blackbird in his memory, but judging from its appearance, it was also a heavy-duty D-wheeled vehicle equipped with special equipment!
