My anime-style card deck is fine!

The heatwave swept outwards.

It knocked the charging rogue hero off his feet, sending him tumbling awkwardly to the side.

"What?! How dare you treat my rogue hero like this?!" The rogue leader, on the contrary, looked furious, glaring at Amon, and then began to call out to the rogue heroes on the field.

He tried to get his followers to stand up with their tenacity and perseverance and launch another attack.

but……

The rogue hero struggled to his feet, but stumbled and sat back down, panting heavily.

"When [Flame Eevee] enters the field through Blazing Memories, it can grant all minions on the field [Scorch] counters—you don't need to force yourself to understand with your knowledge."

Seeing the bewildered look on the leader's face, Amon explained simply, "In short, with this thing around, your minions can't perform normal attacks."

"How despicable!!!" the rogue leader exclaimed in shock.

If I can't use normal attacks, then what use is my invincible 1000 attack power as a rogue hero?!

Amon stared at him intently and sighed.

He simply put the card away and waved it at the Flareon on the field: "Take care of him, Flareon."

"Boy!"

……

The duel is over.

The gang leader collapsed to the ground after his mental energy field was destroyed, and was then taken away by the police and his henchmen who arrived later.

Amon, who had won, looked rather depressed.

On the contrary, Wu Shanyu was in a good mood and took Amon to the sushi restaurant they had booked.

"...This is really annoying."

Even after sitting down to order, Amon still felt a bit uncomfortable: "I actually took that kind of competition seriously... even if only for a moment!"

This level of opponent is not even as strong as the opponent Amon encountered when he participated in the ring duel at Wanda Plaza.

At that time, most of those individuals were just office workers or ordinary househusbands!

—It just so happens to be located downstairs, so I only come here occasionally to play a couple of rounds.

That's their reason for participating!

Let alone the college student in the final tenth level, even if you brought over Amon's younger sister Tang Shuang, who is just starting her second year of high school, she could still defeat this delinquent leader.

"By the way, Amon, have you misunderstood something?"

Wu Shanyu was still sipping her milk tea slowly. For some reason, girls always drink milk tea very slowly: "This place is full of cherry blossoms."

"..."

Amon raised an eyebrow.

Sitting opposite, Wu Shanyu continued, "Compared to China, due to various reasons, Sakura's development is not as prosperous as China's. Having adopted the 'happy education' policy of the United States across the sea, its education is not outstanding either."

"China has always been a global leader in education."

"Even the environment for dueling has always been far ahead of other countries in the world, but even such an environment is no longer enough for you, Amon, so you chose to participate in the ultimate college entrance examination, right?"

"Reality isn't a novel, where you can pin your hopes on changing the map to upgrade the environment or something..."

"In fact, China is the 'heavenly realm' that has ascended to the top. To use a novel's terminology, Japan is the lower realm... The real contenders for this country should be the geniuses from other countries, not the natives of Japan."

"If you want a duel, you've chosen the wrong opponent."

"……Let's eat."

Just then, the food they ordered arrived, and Amon picked up a piece of sushi and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking at Amon across from her, Wu Shanyu couldn't help but recall that Wang Quan and the others had had similar expressions these past few days, and she suddenly felt like laughing.

It's like a wild beast that has just been released from its cage and entered the wild.

Eager to know their place in the ecosystem, they basically want to kick everything in sight, only to find that none of them are their match.

But if you think about it carefully, you'll realize that they are all Silver Card Masters!

What is a Silver Card Master?

They are the vanguard of the nation, the sharpest weapon of a great power. In some small countries, they might even be qualified to run for king!

They come to Sakura, hoping to find opponents everywhere who can easily challenge them—you guys are overestimating Sakura.

If cherry blossoms truly possessed such potential, they would have already broken out of Asia and swept the globe!

It wouldn't be so isolated on a small island that it would be bullied by China and the United States in turn, and even South Korea, which relied on the United States for support, would occasionally come up and kick it a few times.

"I have good news for you," Wu Shanyu said suddenly after Amon had calmed down.

"what?"

Amon had stopped thinking about the unpleasant things that had just happened and was now planning to enjoy the food.

Although the raw sushi wasn't to his taste, it was quite delicious and a nice experience of a foreign culture. Just as he was about to have a few more bites, Wushan Yu across from him spoke up.

"Do you see that aquarium in the center of the shop?" Wu Shanyu gestured with his eyes.

"I saw it, what's wrong?"

Amon saw it as soon as he entered; after all, there were several king crabs in the aquarium, and they looked delicious.

"This restaurant is a 'Duel Sushi Cuisine' themed around 'duel'!" Wu Shanyu said with a smile. "As long as you can defeat the head chef, you can receive a complimentary king crab feast from the restaurant."

"Oh right, just so you know."

Wu Shanyu only then slowly said, "The head chef of this restaurant is a Silver Card Master."

Only when Amon heard this did he finally become interested.

"I want to eat a full king crab feast." Wu Shanyu picked up a piece of sushi and looked at Amon: "Are you interested in winning this duel for this young lady?"

"--certainly!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city...

The delinquent leader who had surrounded Amon and was taken away by the Sakura Police Station has inexplicably appeared in a dilapidated building.

It's really dilapidated.

There wasn't even much renovation; the walls were peeling, and a mess of construction debris was piled up haphazardly in the corners.

However, in the center of the room, there were three luxurious sofas that seemed out of place with the surroundings. In front of the sofas was a small table with a jumble of beer bottles on it.

At this moment, the leader of the gang was in a sorry state, kneeling on the ground, trembling all over and not daring to raise his head.

His underlings, on the other hand, huddled in the corner, trembling with fear, without uttering a sound.

"...What a piece of trash!"

Opposite the gang leader, a young man in a leather jacket and pants, his face grim, stomped on the gang leader's head and pressed it forcefully into the concrete ground: "Using the [Hero] we provided you, you couldn't even last one round against your opponent?!"

"What use are you to me? Ha! Tell me, what use are you anyway!"

The young man in the leather jacket kept pounding on the head of the delinquent leader.

The rough ground rubbed against his skin, and the back of his head kept hitting the heels of his shoes, but the leader of the gang didn't dare to groan. He could only grit his teeth and endure the pain.

"Useless!" The leather-clad youth kicked out, sending the gang leader flying to the side.

The leader of the gang quickly got up again, returned to his original position, and continued to kneel on the ground without uttering a sound.

"Alright, that's enough. Do you really expect him to win?" Another young man with dyed blond hair said from the sofa.

The blond-haired man had very thick dark circles under his eyes, and his thin, horse-like face made him look weak and listless: "Anyway, as long as we can confirm that Amon is indeed the creator of the [Pokémon] deck from China these days, that's enough."

The young man in the leather jacket kicked him twice more hard.

Then, huffing and puffing, he sat back down on the sofa and lit a cigarette: "That's right, we don't need to worry about the rest; that's the heroes' business."

"...Speaking of which, what do you think of the Pokémon deck that Amon used?"

Horse-faced blond-haired man also lit a cigarette.

"How about what?"

"I mean, how does it compare to the hero decks of the heroes?" the horse-faced blond man repeated.

"Of course they can't be compared. What kind of trash are Pokémon?" The young man in the leather jacket scoffed. "They're just a bunch of weird pets."

"Do you really think that just because that loser lost, it means the Hero deck is no good?"

"What kind of hero is a hero who can't travel to another world?" The leather-clad youth turned his head, his gaze icy as he looked at the delinquent leader lying on the ground. "What kind of delinquent hero can't travel to another world? Just say he's a simple delinquent..."

"Only those who travel through time and receive the goddess's blessing are truly 'Heroes'!"

Chapter 205: Duel Restaurant!

Inside the small, dilapidated building.

The man in the leather jacket and the horse-faced blond man were talking loudly and unrestrainedly.

The leader of the gang, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but widen his eyes, because he had just learned from the two that the boy and girl he had intercepted earlier were actually silver-level card masters!

Silver level!

He was only Bronze II, yet they made him challenge a Silver player!

The challenge failed, and you, a Bronze III player, have the nerve to call me trash?!

If you're so capable, then go and do it!

The rogue leader wanted to shout, but couldn't.

The physical wounds and pain, the constant stinging pain in his brain due to the shattered mental field, the rogue leader clenched his teeth tightly, and all sorts of emotions, including grievance, resentment, unwillingness, and anger, eventually made his eyes bloodshot.

A voice suddenly rang in my mind.

"How can one be reincarnated in another world without dying once..." The delinquent leader suddenly sensed something, and the card box containing the delinquent hero in his brain was now radiating intense heat.
