Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"…Our target this time is Yusei, who is several times more difficult to deal with than Yuki Judai, so the personnel we will send out this time are of higher standards than before!"

He stretched out his index finger and waved it left and right in front of Coach Napoleon's eyes. After Manzhangmu smiled smugly, his eyes narrowed into slits: "Hehehe... Yuxing, that guy, I guess he should have accepted the duel by now, right?"

"Then, the only fate that awaits him is destruction..."

"...After all, his opponent this time is Mr. X, who ranks above Ed Phoenix!"

……

...

"Emm... Is this really the challenge from that Manjome guy? I didn't want to come..."

"But it's not my personal wish that that guy became what he is now, so... I'll just have to fight him with all my might."

"… Find a suitable opportunity and give him a friendship punch."

Looking at the duel location sent by Manzhangmu on the communication device, Youxing followed the navigation alone to a hidden cave entrance. After raising his eyebrows, he walked into the cave.

This place is exactly the Water Curtain Cave that X had visited before.

Apparently, Manjōme had sent Yusei a false address, deliberately leading him to where X was waiting.

"…As expected, you're here! Yusei!"

The moment Youxing stepped into the cave, the sensor device previously placed by X at the entrance was triggered.

Starting from the cave entrance, patches of light suddenly emerged as light bulbs were turned on.

Under the influence of multiple light bulbs that were constantly turned on, the entire cave was immediately illuminated by the light and looked as bright as day.

Ed, who was hiding in the dark and was frightened by the scene, quietly shrank his body and hid again in a dark place that was not illuminated by the light.

"Hmm... who are you? The address that Manjomu sent should be here, right? Why is there a strange old man?"

Walking into the cave, Youxing, with a puzzled look on his face, looked at the man standing in the center of the light - X.

X, who was standing in the middle of the cave, bowed slightly in the direction of Yusei and raised the duel disk in his hand: "Hehehe... that boy in the white uniform will not come. The duel tonight is now in my hands."

"Yusei, come and fight me!"

"…Give me a reason to duel with you."

Yuxing folded his arms, took the initiative, raised his head, and put on a posture that seemed quite arrogant to outsiders.

If you say we should duel, then wouldn't I be very embarrassed?

Besides, I don’t even know who you are!

"Hehe... Is that the reason for the duel?" X pushed up his glasses and thought for a moment before smiling faintly, "My name is X, and I'm a professional duelist..."

"...Yusei, I am very interested in you who defeated Ed Phoenix, so I came here from the main island."

"No matter what, as a duelist, I want to fight you."

Curiosity about the strength of powerful duelists is an essential element for a qualified duelist.

After hearing that Ed was defeated by a student named Yusei, X, who was curious about him, seized this rare opportunity and came to the Duel Academy. With the help of Manzhang's purpose, X had a one-on-one fight with Yusei.

Yusei: "Um...you know Ed?"

X: "Heh... She's a very strong duelist, possessing unrivaled strength and infinite unknown possibilities. But for now, my ranking is still higher!"

X straightened his body proudly, using Ed as his reference, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "Yusei, I think... you must also want to know my strength, right?"

"Indeed, after listening to what you said, I am indeed very interested." Touching his chin, Youxing smiled and said, "Then, let's start our duel as you said!"

Ed: "...Yusei, you really agreed to duel with that guy!"

After hearing the conversation between the two, a dazed look appeared on Ed's face.

Although she wanted to refute X's words and prove that she was stronger than him, it was an indisputable fact that she ranked lower in the professional league rankings because she debuted later.

So, after rolling his eyes helplessly, Ed Phoenix, who didn't intend to continue dwelling on this topic, turned his attention back to the two people who were about to start the duel.

Yusei, the man who used the same hero deck as himself and defeated him by counterattacking with strange tricks in the duel. X, an old veteran who had been active in the professional league before he became famous and possessed terrifying dueling skills.

What will the scene be like when these two people duel?

Ed was looking forward to the upcoming results.

After losing to Youxing, she seemed to have found a little fun in the duel besides the fate of revenge.

520 What is a great man of ten generations?

"Interesting...I accept the duel you proposed!"

After listening to X's self-introduction and learning that he was Ed's predecessor in the Professional League, Yusei, who was quite interested in his strength, immediately raised the Duel Disk he was carrying.

"Hehe... Then, let's get started! Duel!"

Without saying anything more, after receiving a positive response from Yusei, X pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and raised his arms synchronously: "...Duel!"

(X LP: 4000)

(Youxing LP: 4000)

"Well, let's start with me. Draw a card!" He placed his right palm on his chest, made a slight X salute, and then drew a card from the duel disk.

"First, I activate the Spell Card [Handbook Erase] from my hand! Both of you discard all of your hands, and then draw the number of cards you discarded from your deck."

Right from the start, X locked onto both players' hands without hesitation, activated his magic card, and sent all of their cards to the graveyard.

With the effect of this magic card, both sides will draw five new cards from their decks.

"Hmm...Is it a big shuffle of the cards in hand right at the start?"

Sending his five cards to the graveyard, Yusei raised an eyebrow and sighed subconsciously.

At the same time, he also seized this opportunity and waved his hand to activate the effect of the card sent to the graveyard: "At this moment, I activate the effect of [Elemental Hero·Shadow Mist Lady] that was just sent to the graveyard, and search for a [Hero] monster card other than her from the deck. I choose to search for [Elemental Hero·Sky Man]!"

Yousei waved the Skyman from the deck in front of X's eyes, and then added it to his hand.

"…Huh? A card that triggers a search effect when sent to the grave? Interesting."

Watching Yusei's chain operation, X nodded and stretched out his arm in imitation: "Then, I will also activate the effect of the Trap Card that was just sent to the Graveyard - [Moth Lure LV4] (Animation Card). When this card is sent to the Graveyard by an effect, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my Deck."

"...Come out! Trap Jammer (Attack Power: 800)!"

A purple and white land robot with three large legs appeared in front of him following X's voice.

Just like the name of this monster, it has the effect of interfering with the effects of Trap Cards.

"Next, I ambush two cards, and the turn ends."

After Special Summoning a monster through the effect of a Trap Card, X did not deploy it.

After ambushing two cards in the backcourt, he waved his hand to end his turn.

"Then it's my turn next!"

Placing his palm on the deck, Yusei suddenly pulled out the card at the top of the deck: "...My turn, draw a card!"

"Wait... At this moment, I pay 1000 life points and activate the Continuous Trap Card - [Monster Counter]!"

During Yusei's preparation phase, X waved and opened a cover card in the backfield.

As he moved, a treasure chest monster with a ferocious human face expression appeared on his field.

(X LP: 4000 → 3000)

Yusei: "...【Monster Counter】? A trap card, right?"

X: "That's right! According to the effect of this card, each time you summon a monster, you must send the card with the corresponding level number to the Graveyard."

Straightening his body with pride, X's face showed an expression of having a plan all figured out.

"…If you want to summon a monster, you must sacrifice your own deck!"

As long as the Continuous Trap Card [Monster Counter] is on the field, every time Yusei summons a monster card in his hand, he must send the corresponding number of star cards in his deck to the Graveyard.

To summon a 1-star monster, you discard one card, but to summon a 4-star monster, you must discard 4 cards...

After several accumulations, Yusei's deck will be completely consumed, and he himself will have no cards to draw from his deck, and will face defeat in the duel.

Since there is a Trap Jammer on X's field, this effect becomes a one-way effect and only works on Yusei's side.

X himself, who activated the Trap Card, will not be negatively affected by this effect, thus avoiding the fate of the deck being destroyed.

"...Huh? Sending cards from the deck to the graveyard? Are you sure?"

Listening to X's explanation, Youxing felt a little stunned and a strange look appeared on his face.

What the hell... isn't this just helping the opponent to build a grave for nothing?

What is a great good man for ten generations?

What kind of crappy trap card is this?

X, are you serious? You actually gave me such a gift? Are you afraid that I won't be able to master [Mowing the Neighbor's Lawn], so you are willing to sacrifice yourself to help me?

"A pile of graves? X... This guy is finished!"

Ed, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but sigh after realizing X's deck-destroying tactics.

Perhaps this tactic is very effective against other duelists, but against Yousei... it would be ridiculous!

Before, Ed was defeated by Youxing's graveyard operation.

In the face of that explosive chain reaction, even her destined hero could not organize an effective resistance. The situation was reversed in an instant, leading to a complete defeat.

At the moment, X is obviously about to follow in her footsteps.

"...I Normal Summon [Elemental Hero: Skyman] (Attack: 1800) and activate its effect to add a [Hero] monster card from my deck to my hand."

The overworked hero with a pair of gliders on his back appeared on Yusei's field as his voice fell.

Yusei explained the effect of this card and added a new [Hero] monster card from his deck to his hand.

"Hehehe!!! Since you summoned a Level 4 Skyman, the effect of the Continuous Trap Card [Monster Counter] will also be triggered... Next, you must send 4 cards in your deck to the Graveyard!"

He stretched out his finger and pointed X at where Yusei was.

As he moved, the Treasure Box Monster opened its big mouth and sucked the four cards in Yusei's deck into its big mouth connected to the graveyard.

"Hehehe... Yusei, you must be very sad to lose 4 cards at once, right?"

X stretched out his right hand and combed the bangs on his forehead to the back of his head. Thinking that he had taken the initiative and advantage, he couldn't help but let out a smug laugh.

At this moment, he also took off his previous gentleman disguise and turned back into the ferocious look when he was torturing the beauty under the moon.

Or perhaps, this is his nature.

Anyway, X displayed the facial expressions that are unique to a duelist, and bursts of strange laughter came from his mouth from time to time.

"No, that's not the case."

Shaking his head calmly, Youxing smiled and tapped his duel disk: "In fact, X...you guys helped me a lot!"

"……Nani?"

Seeing the calm look on Youxing's face, X's smile froze on his face.

Feeling doubtful and uncertain, he subconsciously looked at the treasure chest monster in front of him.

Could it be that... there was something I didn't notice just now?

No, not possible!

I am a professional player and a professional, how could I make such a low-level mistake?

This boy named Youxing must be deliberately trying to trick me and playing psychological tactics with me!

"Humph! Do you think I will believe your lies? Yusei... Although you appear calm on the surface, in your heart, you are actually panicking, right?"

After making a definite conclusion in his mind, X pointed in the direction of Youxing and expressed his guess: "Words are not enough, show me if you can!"

Yusei: “……?”

Slowly typing out a question mark, Youxing looked up at the top of the cave above his head.

After deducing X's thoughts in his mind, Yusei roughly understood his words and couldn't help laughing.
