Want to play cards? I have a great deck!

"Hahahahaha!"

Satomi Sho's two followers also laughed together, and the trio... no, those students who were bribed by him also laughed together. That wave of laughter turned into pressure and weighed all on Youxi's shoulders.

"Damn it! I can't bear it anymore, Xiaoxue."

With her fists clenched, Xing Yewu's face no longer had the cheerful smile that was usually seen on her face.

The surging anger continued to swell and evaporate in the girl's chest.

"I'm going to beat up that Satomi Sho!"

As she said that, Xingye Wu was about to take a step forward, but was pulled back by Shizayoi Yuki.

"Wait a moment."

"Why? Don't tell me you're going to stop me. If you do, I'll end my friendship with you."

Izayoi Yuki shook her head slightly.

"No, I will join you, but not now. There are too many people here, and even if we want to fight, the adults will stop us."

"……you mean?"

"Wait until he is alone..."

The girls looked at each other, and the same light flashed in their green and red eyes.

"Do you want to surrender?" Kenuo calmly asked You Xi, who was attacked by verbal violence: "There is a saying that goes, 'Quit while you are ahead'. How about giving up as soon as possible?"

You Xi said strangely, "Quit while you're ahead? That's not how you use this phrase, right?"

"That's not important. What's important is that if you continue, you will only bring more shame upon yourself. You don't really want to become what Satomi-san said, do you? For now, you can still maintain your dignity."

"……really."

After thinking for a while in silence, You Xi said, "There are thousands of poker games, and it's not shameful to surrender when you find that you can't win. No one will die anyway, and at most you will lose some face. I remember that there were actually quite a few professional duelists who surrendered in the professional competitions here."

"That……"

"But I still can't surrender."

The smile on Keno's face had not yet fully appeared before it was suppressed by Youxi.

He stretched out three fingers and slowly pressed them down in order.

"First, I have never surrendered in a duel so far, unless I am offline. Even if it is an online game, I will continue to play to the end. Second, this is not an optional duel, but it is related to the goal I must achieve. Some people have also helped me a lot to stand here. Third...listen."

"what?"

"Listen carefully."

You Xi gestured with his palm towards the surrounding area.

"Among all these voices, booing at me isn't the only thing."

"……come on……"

"……come on……"

Although it is small, it does exist.

In that wave of violence, apart from the students who still had no idea what was happening and were just watching the fun, there were also some "dissenting opinions" that were drowned out.

That was encouragement to You Xi.

If you look carefully in the past, you can find people speaking out in every corner.

There was a boy wearing black-framed glasses who looked a little timid, a rustic girl with freckles on her face and pigtails, a fat otaku with ordinary looks and a slightly plump figure... there were about five or six of them in total.

Yuki recognized that these were the victim students whom he forced Satomi Sho to return the cards they had taken away.

Not all of these people stood up, and not all of them were students of the school, but those who appeared here and were watched by him gritted their teeth, overcame their fear, and shouted for him to cheer.

This was probably the limit of what they could do, but it was a great help to You Xi.

"I told Si Jun that the power of support is very important. I can't go back on my word to him on this point."

You Xi retracted his gaze and said to Kenuo seriously: "So, I'm sorry, Mr. Kenuo. I have to say No to you!"

"…That's really a pity."

Keno said nothing more and continued, "Put one more card on the ground, and the turn ends. Come, start your last turn, Yuxi."

"Before we begin, use this card to signal our counterattack!"

You Xi stretched out his arm, and at this moment, a card in front of his palm stood up -

"At the end of the phase, the continuous trap: "The bond of the painting" is activated!"

Ps:

4k words... maybe only one update today

Volume 46: Chapter The value of the only disciple!

You Xi's second cover card opened, revealing a scarlet trap.

Unlike the "Sword of Light Sealing Soul" that hinders attacks, this trap is not used to trap the opponent, but to assist one's own deployment.

"I will immediately use the effect of this card (3) to banish "Queen Knight", "King Knight" and "Guard Knight" from the Graveyard, and draw cards from your deck! Draw!"

Without leaving himself room to use the ① effect, Yuxi sent all the Poker Knights to another dimension in one go. The knights' souls turned into three sharp swords, becoming weapons in Yuxi's hands.

"It's my turn now. Activate the Spell Card: "Pot of Greed"! Draw 2 more cards from your deck!"

"There's actually a card as rare as 'Pot of Greed'?"

A green ceramic pot with a greedy smile carved on it appeared in Youxi's backfield and broke into two new cards, which surprised Kno.

The strength of a card like "Pot of Greed" that can be easily replenished is obvious to the naked eye, and even a fool can see its value. However, there are very few cards circulating in the market, and there is no demand for them. I didn't expect to see it here.

"This way, You Xijun will have 5 cards in hand."

Seeing You Xi draw a wave of cards, Xing Yewu couldn't help but say happily: "With so many cards in hand, there is always a way."

"It's hard to say."

However, Shizayoi Yuki couldn't be as optimistic as Xingye Wu.

"That 'Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant' is really too tricky. It's still uncertain whether Izumi can pass it."

Precisely because they had become teammates and had discussed deck construction issues with each other, Izayoi Yuki now had a deeper understanding of Yuki's deck.

For Youxi, the "Chaos Giant" is definitely the strongest enemy at the moment, no doubt about it.

It's not impossible for You Xi to defeat it, but the possibility is very small.

"But since it's Izumi-san, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Oh?"

Hearing Shizayezue's murmur, Xingye Wu couldn't help but tilt her head in surprise.

"Does Xiaoxue trust You Xijun very much?"

"Because I told you before that I would trust him, and I won't break my promise." The white-haired girl looked matter-of-fact, "You feel the same way about this, right, Wu?"

"Of course. After all, the more critical the situation is, the more Yu Xi-jun can unleash his potential."

"Ah."

Listening to Xingye Wu's answer without hesitation while smiling, Shizayoi Yuki stared at the duel in the arena intently.

So, please show the same strength you showed when you duelled me that day, Izumi-san.

Show me another miracle.

"For this hand... I will activate the magic card from my hand first: "Whirlwind"."

You Xi glanced around his hand and put the first card on the left into the duel disk.

"Use this card's effect to destroy the Magic or Trap Card behind you."

As soon as You Xi finished speaking, a blue tornado emerged from Kari and attacked Kno's position at high speed.

The latter said: "Chain this effect and activate the trap card: "Battle - Cross Dimension"."

"Target 1 "Ancient Machine" monster on your field, and remove it from play. I send "Thermonuclear Dragon" to another dimension."

The cover targeted by the "Whirlwind" was opened, and the space slowly fluctuated, swallowing the huge Machine Dragon, leaving only the "Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant" on the field of Keno.

But he had nothing to worry about.

"Chaos Giant" is more than enough to control the field, and this trap card also has subsequent powerful effects.

"The banished Thermonuclear Dragon will return during my next Standby Phase, and its attack power will be doubled until the end of the turn. What a pity, Yuki-san. If your Cyclone had chosen to destroy the Linear Cannon, things would have been different."

Double the attack power, which equals 2 points.

Even if he managed to defeat the Chaos Giant, there was still a more terrifying nightmare waiting for Youxi. Kno had obviously considered the worst-case scenario and made sure that his backup plan was foolproof.

Seeing that the effect of "Whirlwind" failed, You Xi's expression remained unchanged and said, "It doesn't matter. My goal is to eliminate the unknown cover card, so that I can play the card without any scruples."

"Pay 1000 Life Points and activate the Spell Card: "Dark Magic Curtain". Select 1 Spellcaster-Type Dark monster from your hand or graveyard and Special Summon it."

You Xi put a card from his hand on the duel board.

"Come here! Special Summon the "Black Magician of Chaos"!"

"Chaos Black Magician, Level 8 / Dark / Magician" "ATK: 2800 / DEF: 2600"

[Youxi LP: 1850 → 850]

A magnificent and intricate magic circle unfolded on the earth. The dark magic power tore open the sea of ​​chaos. The supreme magician who even controlled the power of chaos slowly emerged from the circle and opened his cold eyes.

"When "Chaos Black Magician" is Special Summoned, the effect is activated! I can select 1 Magic Card from the Graveyard and add it to my hand."

"I see, so you want to retrieve the Pot of Greed?"

Kno understood and said, "This way you can draw 2 more cards."

"Do not."

You Xi denied Kno's guess.

"I'm going to add a continuous magic card to my hand: 'Severed Darkness'!"

"what?"

"Simply drawing a card doesn't make much sense, but this card will be different if it is combined with the cards in my hand."

After retrieving the card from the graveyard, You Xi played it out along with another card in his hand without stopping for a moment.

"I activate "Severed Darkness" again, and then the magic card: "Curtain of Black Magic"!"

"Pay half of your life points, and Special Summon 1 "Dark Magic" monster from your Deck. Come out, my trump card, "Dark Magician"!"

"Dark Magician, ATK: 2500"

[Youxi LP: 850 → 425]

The pale skeleton in a black robe lifted the robe, and the deep darkness in the robe poured out. Like a magic trick, he turned into a top-level magician with a cold expression that was no less cold than the gangster in the blink of an eye.

This is the strongest blade that Yuxi uses to break through the "Chaos Giant".

"The effect of "Sundered Darkness" can also be activated when fighting a Level 5 or higher Normal monster, so "Ancient Mechanical Chaos Giant" can be defeated."

"Even so, the combined attack power of the Black Magician and the Black Magician of Chaos cannot clear my health. You can only cause me 5300 damage at most."

Kno pointed out the flaw in Youxi's tactics.

5300 damage is a lot, but not enough to defeat him.

In the next turn, "Thermonuclear Dragon" will return in an overloaded state that is stronger than "Chaos Titan", and use the triple seal effect during the attack to ravage Yuki to death.
