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

At that moment, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Manjou Jun's eyes, but quickly, after glancing at the handsome young man, Ren Youfeng, Manjou Jun sighed softly and shook his head slightly.

"However... while I currently have no equal, facing the legendary duelist, Mr. Yufeng..."

...

In that instant, seeing that Wan Zhangmu seemed to have fallen for his "provocation," Professor Chronos's lips curled into a smile:

"Don't worry about that—I'll prepare a very rare and powerful new deck for you."

"As a token of my support~ Hehe~"

"but--"

Soon, after taking another look at Wan Zhangmu, Professor Chronos, who was laughing exaggeratedly, did not continue speaking and instead left.

This instantly ignited Wan Zhangmu's anger to its peak, and his expression turned gloomy.

...

Then, after glancing at the time, just as the alchemy class, mainly taught by Master Daitokuji, was about to begin, Professor Chronos clapped his hands as if he had "suddenly remembered something":

"Ah~ I almost forgot..."

"After lunch break today, some super rare card packs will be available on the island and sold at the island's card shop..."

"There are absolutely no purchase restrictions this time, so everyone can freely draw cards to strengthen their decks!"

Soon after announcing this exciting news, Professor Chronos smiled slightly at Professor Daitokuji, then bowed politely to Yuuka before turning and leaving the classroom.

...

In that instant, the academy, which had fallen silent because class was about to start, suddenly erupted into a heated discussion:

"Huh?! A new deck! Is it super rare?! This is not common at all!"

"Hmm... It's said that with the support of President Kaiba, these card packs were specially negotiated and supplied to the academy, far exceeding the quality of the decks that can be bought on a regular basis!"

"No matter what, I have to buy a pack and try my luck!"

Soon, amidst the murmurs of the crowd and the lively atmosphere, Master Daitokuji kindly adjusted his glasses, smiling at everyone as if waiting for the school bell to ring.

"Oh my... this time, Director You Feng is actually coming to sit in on the meeting himself? That's really something we can't ignore..."

Amidst a soft sigh from Daitokuji-sensei, Yoruichi, sitting in the back row of the classroom, responded with a slight smile.

—Although alchemy wasn't within his purview, this veteran card player from the OCG had almost no interest in such outdated knowledge and theories in any aspect of dueling at this dueling academy...

But alchemy, though it sounded strange, was actually a breath of fresh air and attracted Youfeng's attention. And Master Daitokuji's lectures were indeed unusually vivid, so much so that Youfeng listened with great interest throughout the entire class.

...

"Ugh! I have to get there quickly!"

Soon, as the bell rang and the lunch break began, everyone rushed out of the classroom and headed quickly toward the academy's card shop.

Yufeng, looking at the intrigued Judai Yuki, asked with a smile:

"What, does Jaden also want to strengthen his deck?"

Faced with Yuuki's question, Judai Yuuki, whose eyes were shining, immediately raised his fist and clenched it.

"That's only natural. [HERO] also longs for the arrival of his companions, doesn't he? It's a shared wish of his and mine!"

After hearing this very "Yuki Jaden" style answer, Yuuka shook his head helplessly:

"...Your answer is still so unique, Judai..."

As he gave a sincere smile, Jaden Yuki, seeing the classroom dwindling, immediately waved nervously in farewell.

"I can't talk to you anymore, Senior Youfeng, I have to get there right now—what if they're sold out by the time I get there?!"

...

In an instant, as Jaden Yuki and the others left as the last group, only Yuuka and a calm-looking Ryo Marufuji remained in the large classroom.

"Hmm...aren't you going, Liang?"

"No—I'm not interested in any power outside of the [Electronic School]... and Master Samejima already gave me quite a few cards yesterday, some of which are even forbidden within our [Electronic School]..."

Soon, accompanied by the faint chuckle of the blue-haired, gray-eyed youth, You Feng's lips twitched instantly:

"Did that bald principal get so many gold coins this time...?"

Amidst Yuuki's muttered complaints, Marufuji Ryo also seemed lost in memories, taking a deep breath with a sigh of emotion:

"Hmm... although I didn't initially intend to bring it out... it seems that after witnessing your dueling techniques firsthand, Senior Yuuka, Master Samejima was immediately persuaded..."

"As expected, before a duel champion destined for victory, everything can be shaken..."

And very soon, just as Marufuji Ryo was looking at Yuuka, the legendary duelist who had achieved great success and pioneered the [electronic style] with a touch of admiration.

At that moment, a series of crisp applause rang out from afar:

"Hmm~ Not bad, very well said, Caesar..."

...

Soon, the black-haired boy who had just slowly made his way from a corner to a secluded spot after almost everyone had left also returned from outside the classroom:

"Senior Yuuka, could you please share your secrets to victory...? Because I, Jun Manjoume, seem to have glimpsed a glimmer of hope that I can achieve victory even against Senior Yuuka..."

In that instant, accompanied by the faint voice of Manjou-no-Mikoto, Marufuji Ryo, sitting next to Yuuki, frowned slightly:

"Is this... a challenge for our [Electronic Style]? Jun Banjou... if that's the case, then we don't need you at all, Master..."

Soon, after a flash of anger in his eyes, Marufuji Ryo immediately stood up and took out his Duel Disk.

But the next second, in response to Marufuji Ryo's reaction, Manjoume Jun only gave a cold snort:

"Hmph~ Senior Marufuji, although I respect you and have considered you a challenger... but... you should understand that for a strong person, the ultimate desire is to challenge the strongest opponent..."

"After losing to Senior Youfeng as a matter of course, you are no longer qualified to fight me!"

Soon, amidst the arrogant and unquestionable voice of Manjou Jun, Marufuji Ryo also frowned instantly, then shook his head expressionlessly, turning his questioning gaze to Yuuka beside him.

...

At this moment, seeing a golden mushroom-headed figure seemingly observing from the shadows, Youfeng, who was fully aware of the situation, nodded slightly and stood up.

"It seems you've already acquired the complete [VWXYZ deck]?"

"Very good, this is getting a little challenging..."

I accept your challenge!

As Yu Feng smiled, Jun Manjou, who had never encountered a challenge that was so easily accepted, was immediately startled. He opened his mouth slightly and then revealed a hint of excitement.

But the next second, he still looked at Youfeng with great concern:

"Even so, it's really unfair for my Machine-type deck to face your Chimera Fortress Dragon's indiscriminate rolling of tires. Therefore, I request that this card be banned in this duel."

Soon, just as Commodore Manjoume's pleading gaze fell upon Yufeng, Yufeng quickly smiled and shook his head:

"You don't need to worry about that... I won't be including a single [Cyber ​​Dragon] card in my entire deck..."

Then, Yufeng opened his palms towards the boy in front of him, whose face was full of fighting spirit: "Now I'm not bullying you, am I? Manjoume-kun..."

...

In that instant, although he felt slightly embarrassed by the fact that the other party was letting him win, Manjoume quickly adjusted his mindset and clenched his fist:

"Hmph... Even so, I won't hold back, Senior Yufeng..."

"At the same time—I also hope that when you use the new deck, you can fully unleash its power and not hold back any minions..."

"..."

Soon, accompanied by Jun Manjoume's confident voice, on the spacious stage of the classroom, Yuuki and Jun Manjoume each went to one side, put on their Duel Disks, and declared their battle in unison:

"DUEL!!!"

"DUEL!!!"

Then, seeing the smug expression on Manjou's face that said, "As long as you don't use [Cyber ​​Dragon], I'm guaranteed to win," Marufuji Ryo quickly snorted coldly.

"Humph..."

"Manjoume... I'm afraid you haven't grasped it yet... even though [Cyber ​​Dragon] is the core deck of the teacher..."

"But when he doesn't use the [Cyber ​​Dragon]... the situation becomes even more terrifying!"

...

At the same time, both players, who were declaring their duel, also drew all five cards that would have been their initial deck resources.

The pink, intricately woven network of a field spell card depicting the battle between the cult leader and the conman—[Source Network]—was summoned to Youfeng's hand in an instant, as if by fate.

Upon seeing the card in his hand, Youfeng immediately smiled knowingly:

"Very good! Next, Manjoume... will give you a little bit of—source shock!"

84. [The Gate of Source Numbers] VS [ABC - Dragon Annihilator]!

As Yufeng's eerie voice echoed, Jun Banjou, Yufeng's opponent, instantly felt this immense pressure:

"Um... Senior Yuuka... what's next..."

Soon, Manjou Jun also took out a silver coin from his pocket:

"Next, we'll toss a coin to determine the order of play!"

Seeing the serious expression on Manjou's face, Yuuka would shake his head slightly:

"No need, Manjou Jun. If I had the first move, you probably wouldn't have been able to play a single card... So—I choose to let you go first!"

Soon, accompanied by the faint sound of the wind, Wan Zhangmu Jun also frowned instantly:

"hateful..."

But the next moment, although according to his usual personality he should have arrogantly rejected the other party at this instant, he still nodded in compromise, fully aware that he was facing Yufeng, who had defeated countless legendary duelists:
