The all-powerful middle schooler

Although she was afraid in her heart, she felt a sense of excitement, and her pale face was tinged with red.

Although she was an average student, had an average family background, and was a complete idiot in sports, she was still proud of one thing: she had amazing dynamic vision and reflexes, and was a master at video games.

She had been in desperate situations in battles many times. After she had stimulated this state of excitement, she suppressed the fear in her heart and completed the feat of a Jedi counterattack.

When she arrived at the exit, she found that a big door had appeared in the place where the exit was originally open, and it seemed that she could just push it open and pass through.

Just as she tried to reach out and push the door open, her heart skipped a beat. Wisps of red mist seeped out from the cracks in the door. She opened and closed her eyes, but then disappeared as if it was just an illusion.

"No! We can't make such a rash decision. This might be a dead end. If we open the door, some terrible things will come out..."

Gokou Ruri pressed down her right arm with her left hand, suppressed the impulse in her heart, and turned back.

Next, she checked all the exits. Every place had the same door and gave her the same sense of crisis.

The phone swept across a spot on the wall.

"Huh? There are words?"

With amazing reflexes, she immediately turned the flashlight back, only to find that the words written on it were -

"Pushing the door open means challenging the duelist. As long as you win this dark game, you can get out of here."

"A duelist? Do you want to push the door? But if you don't push the door, you can't say it... In other words, do you have to defeat the duelist?"

For a moment, the girl was caught in a dilemma.

"As long as it's a game, I'm confident I can win!"

She didn't even consider the possibility of staying where she was and waiting for rescue. This was just an inertial way of thinking.

However, when she took a step forward and pushed open the door.

That instinctive response to the crisis told her...

"Did I make a wrong decision?"

Gogen Ruri was terrified and wanted to step back, but the 'challenge had been established' and an inexplicable force pushed her into the door.

The picture flashed before his eyes.

We came to a relatively spacious hall with a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, illuminating it with a dim light.

"I feel a strong sense of dominance from you!"

Not far away, a standing figure slowly turned around. It was Sato Yugo who had been resurrected from the dead.

"Since you have chosen to challenge me... then, duelist, show us your strength!"

"As long as you defeat me, Sato Yugo, in a fight, you can leave here."

He raised his right hand high, showing his duel disk, and spoke in a voice that seemed excited but was actually indifferent.

"Hey, is it Yu-Gi-Oh? But I don't have a deck."

Gogen Ruri was a little at a loss.

As a national card game, she, as an old homegirl, naturally knew something about it and had watched some animations. However, considering that collecting genuine card sets was too expensive and not affordable for a family like hers, she had never played it.

"Also, Sato Yugo, why do I have an impression of this name? Have I heard of it somewhere?"

She was even more surprised.

"In order to ensure the fairness of the duel, this battle will be completed under the witness of the Eye of Ugarte. As for the deck, you will choose it yourself. There is a card pool."

Sato Yugo pointed to the side, and a strange eye emerged from the wall. There were several wooden boxes underneath, containing various Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

"So creepy...Isn't there something wrong with this painting? Am I overlooking something?"

Gogen Ruri glanced at that eye and suddenly felt as if she was being stared at.

She thought about this question while putting together a deck for herself.

Then it occurred to her.

The other party only told her what would happen if she won, but did not tell her what would happen if she lost.

"Can I ask you something? What happens if you lose?"

Gokou Ruri put the duel disk on, placed the assembled cards in it, and asked in a nonchalant tone.

"If you lose, you will have to leave behind your 'Duelist's Soul'!"

A ferocious look appeared on Sato Yugo's bloodless face.

'What happened...'

Wu Geng Liuli thought to herself that something was wrong.

I thought it would be a very ordinary fantasy story opening, encountering unexpected events, getting help from external forces such as magic pets, solving the events by accident, and then becoming stronger and digging out a bigger worldview...

But now it seems that the difficulty of this first level is not something that a novice can solve by accident.

"duel!"

The two of them started the show at the same time, imitating the pattern in the animation.

"By the way, can this thing really be materialized like in the animation?"

Gogen Ruri got the first attack and picked up a monster card in her hand, feeling inexplicably excited.

For some card players, being able to play such a game is worth the price of the ticket, even if it means death.

When she first watched the animation, she also imagined the arrival of such a day.

What I didn't expect was that this would actually happen, and it would be a terrifying dark game.

five minutes later.

"Sure enough, there is still a gap between reality and fantasy..."

"I lost."

"Am I... not the protagonist?"

With sweat all over her face, Gogen Ruri suddenly knelt down on the ground, and her cards scattered on the ground. The excitement of being able to summon monsters to fight was replaced by a feeling of fear that penetrated her whole body.

"As agreed, I will take your Duelist Soul!"

With lifeless eyes, Sato Yugo stretched out his right hand, and black energy surged. Just as he was about to activate his ability to extract the girl's soul...

A light voice suddenly sounded in the hall, interrupting the process.

"Okay, it's my turn to play."

40 The Strongest in Modern Times vs. The Strongest in History (Yu-Gi-Oh Players Don’t Read This)

"Who? When were you there?"

Sato Yugo's lifeless eyes seemed to also show shock.

This is the 'Dueler's Field' formed by its ability. In other words, it is the master of this area. Although it is not as powerful as a god, it can still control the entrances and exits.

Regardless of why the other party was able to enter, it still sensed the other party's presence after entering, which made it realize that the human in front of it was extraordinary.

"I've been here for a while, but I saw you guys were playing cards, so I waited a little bit... To be honest, I want to give it a try, too."

Hanegawa Izumi said with an interested look in his eyes.

Through observations during this period, he has confirmed the true nature of 'Sato Yugo'. It is a kind of rule-based weirdness formed by the fragments of annihilated laws and the souls after death. Because of his obsession as a human, he has formed a special ability field to materialize cards. Due to his nature, this ability is also flawed, and he needs the other party's consent to start a duel.

He did not yet see the power of such a limited scope, but he was very interested in the content of the field.

"Hasegawa, why are you here too!?"

The frightened Gogen Ruri suddenly looked up and said in surprise.

"Because you've been playing here for too long, we've grown impatient waiting, so I followed you over to take a look. I didn't expect that you, with such poor card skills, would dare to challenge me... It's good to be confident as a strong person, but it's still too clumsy to not hold back."

Izumi Hanegawa put his hands in his pockets and turned his head calmly.

"Trump card? Eh? Is there such a thing?!"

Gogen Ruri was stunned for a moment.

As an ordinary person, it is normal to feel powerless in the face of supernatural forces!

After the initial accident, the shock that Sato Yugo originally felt as a human was quickly suppressed.

"I don't care what means you used to enter my realm, but my battle with her is over, and I will take her soul as agreed."

His malice surged out of his whole body and he continued to complete the unfinished action.

"I've already said that it's my turn to play next, so... you should be thinking about how to fight me and whether you can win... although it's useless to think about it."

Izumi Hanegawa instantly leapt in front of the girl, stretched out his right hand, and formed a semicircular barrier with his spiritual power, which repelled the black mist that could devour the soul.

"What!? There really are people with super powers in this world!"

Gogen Ruri almost screamed out in horror, but her almost desperate mood was rejuvenated.

"Oh? It seems that you are also a special existence."

Sato Yugo watched this scene and thought he had figured out the other party's background.

With this kind of ability and the power he can control, it is indeed difficult for him to overwhelm his opponent.

However, if we follow the rules of the game, that may not be the case!

"According to what you just said, you mean that you want to challenge me too?"

His voice seemed to rise from the abyss.

"You seem to have some misunderstandings. I need to clarify...you are the challenger!"

Izumi Hanesegawa raised a confident smile and stretched out a finger.

"Arrogance will only bring you destruction. Do you think you are 'Muto Yugi'? How can you say such a thing? Then let me see if your card skills are as tough as your mouth."

Sato Yugo's human anger was triggered at this moment, and the negative emotions turned into dark energy and surged in all directions.

"Then please lend me the duel disk, Miss Black Cat."

Needless to say, Hanesegawa turned around and gestured, ready to play cards.

"Oh."

In a dazed state, Gogen Ruri took the duel disk from her hand.

"Wait, do you really want to play cards with that guy? I just suddenly remembered his identity. It seems that he is the modern Yu-Gi-Oh who has won the world championship three times. He is undoubtedly the strongest!"

"You seem very strong, and you managed to sneak in without being discovered. Let's leave here first! Trump cards are usually used only when you are in desperate situations. The best strategy is to avoid putting yourself in that situation, right?"

Suddenly, her expression changed and she hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Escape? There's absolutely no need. Didn't I tell you? I'm quite interested in playing cards. Now is a rare opportunity to try it. Besides...if he is the 'strongest in modern times', then I am the 'strongest in history'."

The confident smile on Hanegawa Izumi's face didn't change at all.

Miss Black Cat had a good idea, but she clearly misjudged the gap in strength between the two sides.

Perhaps, this card player has already reached the level of being invincible in the world in playing cards, but now... there are enemies from outside!

"Hey."

Gokou Ruri sighed and stepped aside to watch the duel.

Although she didn't understand where Hanezawa got his confidence from, she could only place her hopes on him now.

"come on!"

She clenched her fists and silently blessed in her heart.

……

"duel!"

Both parties said that sentence in unison.

Izumi Hanegawa drew five cards from the deck and took a glance.
