Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

"I don't know her," Luo Bai waved his hand, decisively cutting ties with this silly girl.

"Let's go watch someone else's actual combat."

"It's easier to explain in actual combat."

His initial purpose in going downstairs was to observe others playing cards and get a feel for their strategies, but he couldn't put the cart before the horse.

"Alright, alright, off to make rounds!"

The crowd held up their laptops and shouted excitedly, displaying the kind of aura a top streamer would have when checking out a small live stream.

"Hehehe..." Luo Bai was amused by them and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The ward rounds were a massive undertaking.

Until I saw a match that had a lot of people watching.

The large number of onlookers suggests that this duel is being wagered on a rare card.

Normally, people wouldn't place such large bets in face-to-face matches at mechanical tables. A rare card is guaranteed to be worth at least 100,000. People who come here are all ordinary people.

It seems the duelists got carried away.

It contains mostly elements of resentment.

It is currently the red side's turn.

"If there's no other way, let's just surrender," the man from the blue team said leisurely.

"Apologize properly, and I don't need the rare card."

On the field, he stood in defense as a [Natural Wall, 1500/1000], with 1200 LP. He had no backcourt, but he was full of confidence.

The woman on the red team pressed the card check button.

Reviewing the duel log, it was confirmed that the opponent, the [Black Forest Witch], had retrieved a [Evil Emperor Gaius, 2400/1000] card in her dying words.

Her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and she knew something was wrong.

"We lost." Shu Yu'er sighed first, offering the judgment of a professional player.

"Unless the other side makes a stupid mistake."

As a woman herself, she really wanted to give the red player some advice, but this hand...

Two useless cards: [Whirlwind] and one [Offering to the Dead]. In front of you stands a [Moonlight Red Fox, 1800/600].

800 points LP.

"It's a pity, there's no saving it." Melonica sighed regretfully.

At first glance, the only chance of winning with this card is to overwrite Death Offering. The next turn, the opponent summons [Evil Emperor Gaius, 2400/1000] at the superior level, which triggers the effect to banish Death Offering, and Death Offering chain-destroys Evil Emperor.

This is the only winning path for the red side.

However, as long as the opponent isn't stupid, the Evil Emperor will banish the [Moonlight Red Fox]. Since the banished monster is a dark-attribute monster, it will deal 1000 damage, and the red side will be reduced to death by its HP.

The Death Offering can chain-explode the Red Fox to avoid burning blood. The Red Fox's effect sends the Tomb to reduce the Evil Emperor's attack to 0.

The negative effect of dying is that she can't draw cards in the next turn. She has no monster cards left in her hand, so it's a slow death.

Destroying the opponent's [Natural Wall] directly this turn will trigger the Natural Wall's Last Word, allowing you to summon another [Natural Wall] from your deck. If the second [Natural Wall] is destroyed, you can continue to trigger the Last Word to summon monsters from your deck, providing tributes for the Evil Emperor's appearance next turn.

How do you say the Wall of Sighs? The Wall of Sighs.

"I'm a bit slow, did she send it?" Xia Yu said weakly.

The two useless cards, [Whirlwind] and [Death Offering], are of no use whether used this turn or next turn, and will not bring her victory.

"Yes, no..."

The woman on the red team sniffed, her eyes reddening, and her voice choked with emotion.

She couldn't afford to lose a rare card, so she could only obediently bow her head and apologize. Losing dignity was better than losing a rare card.

This game was completely ruined by the two sides getting carried away with their argument, which led them to each gamble their only rare card.

However, whether it's the academy's admissions assessment or the duelist certification, there's a necessary condition: you must possess at least one [Rare Card].

Losing a rare card means disqualifying yourself from this assessment, rendering a year's worth of written tests, practice questions, and dueling training useless.

The minute of check time was slowly passing.

"Mind if I use your game as a tutorial?" Luo Bai suddenly said to the woman on the red team.

"We can win."

"But can we void the bet?"

Three sentences.

In a flash.

This drew incredulous glances from the eighteen people present.

Chapter 32 BIG! It must be BIG!

"Teacher, is it really possible to win?" Xia Yu leaned closer and whispered, her voice lacking any confidence.

She was afraid that if she shouted louder, someone would ask her to come up to the table and do the work.

"Not necessarily," Luo Bai replied honestly.

"It depends on the opponent's hand and whether they can coordinate their moves."

He thought that if the opponent had a trap like [Kurikyu] (Kurikyu's spherical shape), he still couldn't win, but if the opponent was careless, they might not play their trap even if they had one.

These words were met with a chorus of boos.

"Hmph, I thought you had some brilliant ideas, but you're just treating the other side like an idiot," Shu Yu'er sneered.

"How could the opponent possibly use the Evil Emperor's effect to exclude the back row?"

She assumed that when Luo Bai said he needed the opponent's cooperation, he meant that the opponent's card would be sealed and the Evil Emperor would not be excluded from the Red Fox card in the next round.

The man on the blue team breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Luo Bai glanced at Shu Yu'er, as if she were showing concern for a mentally challenged child.

Then he turned to the blue-teamed man opposite him and asked, "So, can I play for you for one round?"

Intervention midway through the duel definitely requires the consent of both duelists.

"can."

"can."

The two duelists answered without hesitation, leaving even their opponents wondering how they could possibly lose.

[Authorization Approved]

The intelligent referee also issued a notification.

The red team has officially switched to the Luo Bai operation.

Luo Bai took the three magic cards from the red-side woman's hand, subconsciously staring at the opposite side of the field, and habitually swiped the cards with both hands.

"Cover one card."

He abruptly stopped swiping the cards, placed a [Whirlwind] face down, and said.

When the blue team's light was off, Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief, at least confirming that the opponent didn't have a life-saving trap, [White Bone Princess].

???

The people behind him were stunned.

"Teacher, is this a mistake?" Xia Yu whispered again as she leaned closer.

"Hey! Don't interfere with the teacher's work." Xia Sheng frowned and quickly pulled the restless girl back.

"Advance to the combat rank." Luo Bai ignored the siblings' words and spoke with conviction.

The people behind him frowned even more, completely baffled as to what he intended to do.

"【Moonlight Red Fox, 1800/600】Attacks 【Natural Wall, 1500/1000】."

The moment Luo Bai finished speaking, a blue light appeared, indicating a time-based reaction.

Luo Bai's heart tightened; the opponent really did have a trap: [Spherical Kuriboh]. This card could switch [Moonlight Red Fox] to defense, rendering its attack ineffective.

The blue team is thinking...

Press the card search button.

There are no unusual cards in the red side's graveyard, field, or banished zone.

He pondered for a moment.

Cancel activating the [Spherical Kuriboh] in your hand, since you can draw another [Natural Wall] from your deck after [Natural Wall] is destroyed.

The timing for the offensive propaganda campaign has been approved!

"Then the combat procedures," Luo Bai said with a sigh of relief.

"C1 activates the Quick-Play Spell [Whirlwind], destroying my own face-down cards."

These words were spoken.

A cacophony of sounds erupted.

"What are you doing?!"

The first to break down was the original duelist, the woman on the red side; to her, this action was almost tantamount to giving up on herself.

How can a whirlwind destroy its own whirlwind?

Isn't this just a waste of two credit cards?

"If you're a duelist, then fight me properly!" Shu Yu'er's anger flared, and her voice became somewhat aggressive.

She despised this kind of "what's the use of throwing up" behavior the most. Even if a duelist loses, he should still be dignified and have dignity.

"Is he crazy?" the crowd murmured.

"Bro, what's going on with the teacher's actions?" Xia Yu whispered in Xia Sheng's ear, not daring to speak loudly at all.
