I'm in Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm also in Machine Ascension.

"...This time, with my newfound power—[Disruption]—I will not lose to you as easily as I did last time!"

...

Soon, amidst the boy's confident and excited expression as he clenched his fists, before Yuuka could even express his opinion, he immediately saw Katsuya Jonouchi scratching his "long yellow hair" with a bewildered look not far away.

Then, upon seeing Yuuka dressed casually, Jonouchi's eyes lit up instantly, and he jogged over.

"Yufeng! It's so good to see you—wait, what?! Your outfit...you didn't tell me you slept all day and then lost your place in the competition, did you?!"

As the boy's shocked voice rang out, his expression gradually turned serious.

You Feng quickly glanced at the other person with great surprise, and frowned slightly in astonishment:

"No... Nokia, you didn't know you were automatically qualified for advancement, did you?!"

As Yuuki's "soul-searching question" came, Jonouchi Katsuya immediately shook his head, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes. He then glanced at his "juniors"—Yuuki Judai, Tenjōin Asuka, and Manjōme—who were all looking at him with surprise, and coughed awkwardly twice.

"Cough cough..."

"That's not it. I was just personally testing the abilities of my dear juniors..."

"While no one can defeat me, the skill level of this generation of duelists has indeed improved significantly compared to our predecessors..."

Soon, with a serious expression on his face, and after giving the other person a long, meaningful look, Yuuka also nodded with a "hehe" expression.

...

"So—Youfeng, the lottery will start in a little over an hour, right?!"

After a slightly awkward question from Jonouchi Katsuya, and after receiving confirmation from everyone, they agreed to go together to the exclusive dueling arena located in the dormitory of the Duel Academy [Obelisk-Blue] an hour later.

After tidying up his clothes, Youfeng quickly changed into a black suit and used a full amount of hair gel to style his hair into a look that "looks like he's good at playing cards." Youfeng then quickly grabbed his Duel Disk and deck, ready to head to the dueling stage to meet his old friends again.

Just as Yuuki pushed open the door to his [Osiris-Red] dormitory, he was immediately greeted by Yuuki Jaden, who was waiting at the door, and "Blonde" Joeyune Katsuya.

The tenth generation of Yucheng and Katsuya inside the castle: "...wocao!"

Amidst their simultaneous exclamations of surprise and shock, Jonouchi immediately circled Yuuka twice:

"Wow, your crab head looks much better this time than last time!"

Then, under equally shocked gazes, Yuki Jaden also curiously reached out to touch the angular ends of Yuuki's hair, and his finger was instantly pricked.

After taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but complain:

"Hiss~ Brother Youfeng, how much hairspray did you use?! This hairstyle looks like a helmet now!"

Youfeng immediately waved his hand:

"Shut up, Judai! Don't worry about these details!"

Then, the three of them went straight to the open space outside the [Osiris-Red] dormitory. Under the stunned gaze of the two, Yufeng immediately sat in his "wheelchair," inserted the Duel Disk into the silver-white D-Wheel in front of him, and immediately drew a [Cyber ​​Dragon] from his deck and slammed it onto the D-Wheel's dashboard:

"Electronic Dragon, let's go!"

"roar~"

With a loud bang, under the setting sun, Yuuka piloted the [Electronic Dragon-D Wheel] directly towards the dueling arena.

...

"Cough cough cough~"

After coughing violently from inhaling electronic exhaust fumes, Jaden Yuki and Jonouchi, both bathed in the setting sun, were instantly stunned, staring at each other in disbelief.

So—how do we get there?

"Of course we're walking! What are you thinking, Mr. Jonouchi..."

"Hey Judai... don't you have any more reliable means of transportation?!"

"Emmm... a bicycle?"

Amidst the hesitant voice of Yuki Judai, he pointed to the dilapidated bicycle left behind by Master Daitokuji in the corner, which had been burned by flames.

Katsuya Jonouchi's eyes lit up instantly:

"Very good, bicycle driver—Judai, let's go!"

Judai Yuki: ??? Why are you exploiting me too, Jonouchi-senpai!?

...

Soon after, when everyone was dressed up for the occasion, Yuuki immediately spotted Yugi Muto with his starfish-shaped haircut, also dressed in a black suit.

"Ah, Yufeng, it's finally time to meet again!"

The moment Yugi Muto's lips curled into a genuine smile, Yuuka smiled and nodded. Meanwhile, Kyoko Masaki, who appeared at the same time, wore a more mature dress. Only Mai Kujaku retained her fiery style from back then, smiling and winking at Yuuka.

"So, did you bring that card—[Hawk Goddess's Feather Duster]?"

Under the expectant gaze of this sexy woman, Youfeng quickly drew that classic, versatile spell card from his deck:

"I have to admit that no matter how many times I've adjusted my deck or what card environment I've been in all this time, I've always carried this card!"

Soon, accompanied by You Feng's soft voice, the sexy, curly-haired blonde woman's cheeks also flushed slightly:

"I was really happy to hear this news."

...

While the group was excitedly reminiscing, Seto Kaiba, still sporting his classic and dashing white trench coat, appeared in the center of the dueling arena. After surveying everyone with a nostalgic gaze, he cleared his throat slightly:

"...Next up is the much-anticipated lottery!"

"So the tool we need for the lottery is, of course, the [Lottery Machine GO! GO!]!"

In an instant, the special gashapon machine surrounded by several white dragons was pulled onto the dueling platform by the staff, and one by one, the gashapon capsules containing the duelists who had qualified for the competition were thrown into the machine before everyone's eyes.

"This is--"

Soon, upon seeing the familiar machine, Katsuya Jonouchi exclaimed in surprise:

"That egg shaker inside the airship? I can't believe that Kaiba actually kept it until now..."

Amidst the gasps of amazement from within the castle, Mai Kongque nodded with a touch of nostalgia:

"...I remember, this egg-shaking machine also allowed Yuuki to spin Kaiba, Malik, and Yugi, and using [Cyber ​​Dragon], Yuuki consecutively defeated the [Three Egyptian Gods]..."

Thinking of this, Yugi Muto smiled wryly, a touch of melancholy in his voice.

"I'll probably never forget the scene of Yuufu pulling that [Super Polymer] card from his hand..."

...

Then, accompanied by Yugi Muto's remark, and under everyone's watchful eyes, President Kaiba immediately used this typical "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" themed "Lottery Machine GO! GO!" to try his luck with the gacha:

"Then, the first duelist!"

Soon, accompanied by the crackling sounds inside the lottery machine, after a few minutes of shaking, a "dragon egg" was instantly drawn and rolled out round and plump.

"Huh?! Youfeng..."

After twisting open the capsule toy and seeing the note inside, President Kaiba's tone became somewhat surprised.

"Good heavens... President Kaiba got the final boss on his very first draw?! That's what you call a one-shot wonder, right?!"

Soon, amidst Jaden Yuki's sigh, Seto Kaiba took a deep breath and spun the lottery machine again. Quickly, the second "dragon egg" was drawn.

Then, President Kaiba caught the "dragon egg" with a dashing one-handed flourish. After twisting it open, he paused for a moment, then revealed a faint smile, looking at Yuuki with interest:

"That's right, the first player to face Yuuka is none other than myself, Seto Kaiba!"

...

As Seto Kaiba's domineering and gruff voice echoed in the not-so-small dueling arena, everyone's expressions instantly hardened.

"Good grief, the very first draw is a do-or-die situation, huh?"

"This is going to be incredibly exciting! Is this a revenge battle?! I vaguely remember the famous scene where Yuuka-senpai stir-fried and ate Kaiba's [Obelisk the Tormentor]!"

At the sound of Jaden Yuki's exclamation, the blond-haired guy next to him, Katsuya Jonouchi, also slammed his hand on the table in displeasure:

"This is inside information! This must be a shady operation!"

"That kid Kaiba's smug expression was practically written all over his face after his scheme succeeded!"

But even amidst Jonouchi's loud "accusations," Seto Kaiba didn't even glance at him, merely casting a cold, indifferent gaze across Jonouchi's face:

"Hmph~ mere mortal..."

...

Then, Seto Kaiba shook the "Lottery Machine GO! GO!" again, twisting the third and fourth "dragon eggs":

"Then, for the second match, it will be Judai Yuki versus Jonouchi the Loser..."

In that instant, upon hearing that his opponent was none other than the "jellyfish-headed" girl beside him, Katsuya Jonouchi, who had been protesting, instantly turned his anger into laughter:

"Hang—it's alright now, well done, Seahorse..."

Soon, after glancing at Jaden Yuki beside him, Jonouchi instantly revealed a joyful expression that bordered on exaggerated.

Jaden Yuki: ? ? ? Do I look that easy to bully?

...

Soon after a series of draws, the matchups for the first stage of the finals were quickly confirmed.

After a short rest, as planned, Seto Kaiba and Yuuka went directly to the special dueling arena of the Duel Academy and put on their Duel Disks.

"Humph~"

After letting out a cold snort, the arrogant club president also raised his head high:

"Yufeng...it seems that fate has deliberately linked us together again...This moment will be the important night for me to completely defeat you and become the King of Duels!"

"—Using my servant's new form: R8 Synchro White Dragon!"

Soon, as Seto Kaiba's voice boomed, Yuuka's lips twitched instantly:
