Welcome to the Duel Academy where Yu-Gi-Oh appears

The sword turned into flames and became the power of the three knight girls.

"Open the face-up card [Counter Gate], and when the opponent declares a Direct Attack, I can activate it, negate that attack, and draw a card. If it's a monster, I can Normal Summon it in Attack Position."

Kaiba said coldly, drawing a card without even looking at it and slapping it onto the field.

"I Normally Summon [Sapphire Dragon], and then because of [Ripped Darkness], I draw a card."

Kaiba said calmly after glancing at the beautiful dragon covered in blue gems on the field, then drew another card.

[Sapphire Dragon (4*) Wind] [Dragon/Normal ATK:1900 DEF:1600]

Instead, Jonouchi had already exhausted his hand and could only reluctantly end this round. He had already planned for the second round, but [Valley of the King's Eternal Sleep], while blocking the opponent, also successfully affected Jonouchi.

It was Yugi Muto's turn. He drew a card and smiled.

"Looks like I'm lucky, Jonouchi-san."

"Normal Summon [Bombarding Bounce Turtle], then activate its effect to Tribute it and Special Summon [Magic Knight Gaia] from the Deck. When [Magic Knight Gaia] is Special Summoned successfully, I can activate this. I Special Summon [Cursed Dragon of Hellfire] from my hand in Defense Position."

Although the Catapult Turtle, Knight Gaia, and Cursed Dragon all put on new vests, the appearance of these cards still made the students in the audience cheer excitedly.

"Really? Isn't my Red-Eyes Black Dragon pretty cool too..."

Jonouchi felt a little jealous, but he also understood that although Red-Eyes Black Dragon was also a legendary monster, it did not have much symbolic significance because he was not the only one using it.

"When Hellfire's Cursed Dragon is Special Summoned successfully, destroy a Field Spell Card on the field."

The fiery red cursed dragon instantly spewed out karmic fire, burning the Wang Changsomian Valley to ashes.

"Then activate the Cursed Dragon's second effect and fuse it with Gaia. Enter, [Dragon Mage Knight Gaia]!"

[Dragon Mage Knight Gaia (7*) Wind] [Dragon/Fusion/Effect ATK:2600 DEF:2100]

Chapter 10: The Supreme Magician

It has to be admitted that although the competitive deck is stable, if you are good enough, the cosmic deck will be easier to deal with various situations.

"Enter the battle phase and use [Dragon Magic Knight Gaia] to attack the three knight girls."

As the cursed dragon flapped its wings, Gaia chased the three cute knight girls and pierced them one by one, and then based on its own three effects, its attack power increased by 2600 points.

[Dragon Mage Knight Gaia (7*) Wind] [Dragon/Fusion/Effect ATK: 2600 → 5200 DEF: 2100]

You Feng grumbled inwardly. "Thank goodness this isn't a Duel Kingdom film set, otherwise the game would have made up a story about attack power increasing three times, soaring straight to 10400 for everyone to see." What? Three effects can only be used once per turn? They've already made up a story, and they're still afraid of this?

"Then use [Sapphire Dragon] for a direct attack."

Jonouchi & Malik: lp8000→6600→4700

"End of round."

Although there is still an Illusion of Chaos in hand, the game does not seem to have any intention of doing too much operation.

It was Malik's turn, and then a huge magma giant rose directly from the ground. The magma instantly swallowed Gaia and the Sapphire Dragon. The cage in the giant's hand imprisoned Kaiba and Yugi, looking very enthusiastic. Seeing this scene, You Feng suddenly felt that he needed to sit up and watch what was going to happen next.

Big baby is coming!

Lava Golem is a unique monster that can release two monsters from your opponent's hand and Special Summon them. Its powerful clearing ability makes it a deeply sinister card. It's this card that makes Malik the Underworlder's position even more unshakable.

"Face a card. During the End Phase, activate the effect of Red-Eyes Flying Dragon in the Graveyard, banish it, and Special Summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon from the Graveyard. End the turn."

Although there was not much operation, after Malik's turn ended, both sides' fields became full of defensive monsters.

Needless to say, the monster Malik was covering was none other than the [Gravekeeper Watcher] he had searched for before, a "hand trap" with very limited performance.

[Red-Eyes Black Dragon (7*) Dark] [Dragon/Normal ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000]

[Lava Demon (8*) Flame] [Demon/Effect ATK:3000 DEF:2500]

"During the Standby Phase, Molten Golem inflicts 1000 Life Points of damage to the controller of this card."

Yugi Muto & Seto Kaiba: lp2200 → lp1200

The magma from the giant fell on the seahorse, and the scorching flames made the seahorse frown slightly.

"Activate the effect of the Graveyard's [Ancient White Stone] to banish it. I add the Graveyard's [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] to my hand."

"Activate Dimensional Rebirth, discard 1 card from your hand, and target 1 of your banished monsters. Special Summon that monster in Attack Position and equip it with this card. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster."

"Because of the [Legendary White Stone], when it was sent to the Graveyard, I added 1 [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from my Deck to my Hand."

“Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha!”

"My pride, and my soul! Come out! [Blue↗Ace→White↘Doragun↑]!!"

As the Ancient White Stone and the Lava Demon were sacrificed, the invincible Blue-Eyes White Dragon made a brilliant appearance, emitting a high-pitched dragon roar.

As Bailong appeared on the stage, there were cheers from the audience.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (8*) Light] [Dragon/Normal ATK:3000 DEF:2500]

Because of [Torn Darkness], Kaiba drew another card. Seeing this, You Feng's mouth twitched, wanting to complain about this president and Jonouchi, who is the real mortal bone?

On the contrary, [Gathering Power] and [Black Magic Array] seem to have too little presence.

"Fighting, use [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] to attack [Red-Eyes Black Dragon], HoNoBiNo→Burst↗Death Kick↑!"

Kaiba's high-pitched battle cry was accompanied by the destructive wind bombs spewed out by the white dragon, which swallowed the black flame bombs of the black dragon and blew them into pieces, demonstrating the white dragon's unshakable position as the "strongest dragon".

"Face a card, and this turn ends. Since [Ancient White Stone] was sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon a Blue-Eyes monster from my Deck at the end of this turn."

"Come on, [Abyss Blue-Eyes Dragon]!"

"If this card is successfully Special Summoned, I choose to add a [Chaos Ritual] from my deck to my hand. During my turn's End Phase, due to its secondary effect, I add [Blue-Eyes Chaos Ultra Dragon] to my hand."

[Abyss Blue-Eyes Dragon (8*) Light] [Dragon/Effect ATK:2500 DEF:2500]

"It's my turn, draw a card...!"

Jonouchi took a deep breath, placed his hand on the duel disk, and then slowly pulled out a card.

Now, it is he and Malik who are at the end of their rope.

"I banish [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon] from the Graveyard and add [Red-Eyes Fusion] from the Graveyard to my hand. Then I activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Fusion]."

If this effect were to pass, Jonouchi could use the Meteorite Black Dragon's ability to directly scald Kaiba and Yugi to death.

Sure enough, the second Meteorite Black Dragon arrived as expected, and Jonouchi sent the [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon] to the graveyard without hesitation, which could cause 1200lp damage, just enough to clear the health of Kaiba and the other two.

[Meteor Dragon Meteorite Black Dragon (8 Stars) Dark] [Dragon/Fusion/Effect ATK:3500 DEF:2000]

Burning meteorites fell from the sky, flying towards the seahorse with scorching air waves, but the pure white dragon kept spewing out dragon breath, intercepting all the meteorites in the air.

On the seahorse field, a cover card has been opened.

"Because of [Fate of Confrontation], you can only activate it when you have a Blue-Eyes White Dragon or Dark Magician on your field, and all effects of all face-up monsters on your opponent's field are negated until the end of the turn."

Kaiba explained calmly.

"You're really tough, Kaiba! I'll use the Meteorite Black Dragon to attack your Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Black Flame Meteorite!"

For Jonouchi, this was a bitter choice. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon combined with [Torn Darkness] could directly destroy his Meteorite Black Dragon, while the [Abyss Blue-Eyes Dragon] in defense position could search for Dragon monsters above 8 stars at the end of the turn. Both were quite tricky.

The Meteorite Black Dragon seemed to have turned into a meteor, its body covered in red and black flames, and it slammed heavily into the Abyss Blue-Eyes Dragon, burning it to ashes.

Yugi Muto & Seto Kaiba: lp1200 → lp700

"Cover a card and the turn ends."

Jonouchi Katsuya slapped the last card in his hand on the duel disk, announcing the end of the round.

"On my turn, I draw a card. Activate the effect of [Illusion of Chaos] and add [Magician's Twin Souls] to my hand. Then, activate the effect of [Magician's Twin Souls] and send [Dark Magician Girl] from my deck to the graveyard, summoning this card."

Just like in the first round, Yugi Muto used the combination of illusion and double souls.

"Activate the effect of Twin Souls. Send up to two Spell/Trap Cards from your hand or field to the Graveyard. Draw cards from your deck equal to the number you send to the Graveyard. I send [Black Magic Array] and [Torn Darkness] to the Graveyard, and draw two cards."

"I activate the effect of [Concentrated Force], sending it to the Graveyard. I return a [Dark Magician] from the Graveyard to my hand."

"Activate [Handbook Erase]. Players with cards in their hand discard all of them. After that, each player draws a number of cards from their deck, the number of cards they discarded."

After Yugi discarded three cards from his hand, he drew three more.

"Use the magic of harmony from your hand to banish [Magician's Twin Souls], [Dark Magician], [Dark Magician Girl], [Illusion of Chaos], and [Black Magician of Chaos] from the Graveyard."

"O God of Magic, who touches the supreme mystery of magic, play the magical melody that leads to victory! Fusion Summon, [Five-Array Magician]!"

Mysterious magic circles unfolded layer by layer, flooding the cards on Jonouchi's and Malik's fields with a torrent of magical power. With the waves of destruction, five magic circles formed into a cluster, revealing a solemn mage in ornate robes. With a wave of his staff, the magic circles dispersed, as if gathering around their king.

[Five-Array Magician (12 Stars) Dark] [Magician/Fusion/Effect ATK:4500 DEF:4500]

The Five Formation Magician, which was successfully Fusion Summoned using 5 types of Magic-Type monsters, has the terrifying ability to directly destroy all cards on the opponent's field.

"As expected of you, you still lost."

Seeing this, Jonouchi and Malik helplessly placed their hands on their decks, signaling their surrender and announcing the end of the duel.

Below the stage, thunderous applause showed the students’ excitement.

Chapter 11 Consumption

With the end of the opening ceremony, students also ushered in a relatively free "college life".

Although each dormitory will hold a party, it is still early for dinner and students still have an afternoon of free time.

"What exactly are you planning, Feng-kun?"

Walking together in the crowd, Ichinose Honami suddenly asked You Feng, her bright eyes looking at You Feng, her consistent smile seemed to have a little more worry.

"Don't worry, I just feel like chain burning is boring. I'm going to go to the school store and open a card pack, and then start over with the cards I get."

You Feng crossed his arms behind his neck and waved his hands in response.

Ichinose Honoki nodded thoughtfully, then chuckled and said to You Feng, "Then I'll lend you all my luck today. I hope you can find the deck you want."

"Then I'm truly flattered. I hope our combined luck can create some wonderful chemical reactions."

Yu Feng said with a smile, and walked towards the academy's exclusive shopping street with Ichinose.

Due to the closed management, students cannot leave Duel Academy even during holidays, so it is necessary to open sufficient entertainment-related facilities in the school.

Although it is nominally called Duel Academy, this island can be regarded as an academy city.

In this world, while there are no officially banned cards, there are restricted cards. Perhaps it's simply because Duel has reached a certain stage of development, the restricted card charts directly applied to the Duel disk program have actually been in use for quite some time, though few people have paid much attention. This so-called restricted card chart was actually created by the leaders of the Duel Academy.

So You Feng felt very sorry. In fact, each deck could only play one card at most for those [Treasure Notes], [Pot of Greed], [Angel's Charity] and other things.

But this is normal. After all, if those cards have no restrictions, then "Exodia" would be invincible, right?

In addition, there are actually two types of cards in this world. One is the officially issued card, and Pegasus, Chima Zero King, etc. are all considered official cards.

The other type is cards that truly embody the power of elves. People seem to be able to obtain such seemingly unique card decks from all kinds of places, and even officially released card packs contain many such cards.

In this environment, Bekas and his team intentionally exercised a certain degree of restraint in issuing general-purpose cards. Ultimately, this resulted in card packs in this world being relatively inexpensive, while exclusive cards were astronomically expensive, sometimes even out of stock.

As for the existence of scalpers, we can only say that when the card price reaches a certain level, the wealthy will not bother to speculate on the card, and those who want to cheat will not have the capital.

Therefore, for the vast majority of duelists in this world, their own decks are unique, representing the fate of encountering cards and the gathering of their hearts.

The reason why You Feng chose to give up his chain burn deck was because it was not a deck that he had put together by opening card packs and that contained no emotion.

The so-called resistance and then surrender, in the previous life, he was accustomed to the waves of changes in the environment, watching the super mainstream people come and go, You Feng had actually become a card-playing machine with no feelings for the deck.

But in fact, most card players do have their favorite decks and cards. They are just overwhelmed by the ever-accelerating environment and gradually give up those "remnants of the old era" that cannot win.

If conditions allow, who wouldn't want to stand on the field with a Dark Mage, just like in the game, and casually say "Soleiwadokanah"? And how many people still love their heroes and Cyber Dragons, showing the soul of a loser despite repeated failures?

Of course, the purpose of playing cards is to win, but if victory is the only goal in the world of all duelists, it would be a bit sad.

You Feng knew that Sakayanagi Arisu disliked his Chain Burn, and that the deck he'd plucked from Miss Itayana's pile was one he'd built with pure competitive spirit. In an age of things like Pot of Greed, Angel's Gift, and Heaven's Treasure, that deck was powerful enough, but not fun.

You Feng once again recalled the Tianwei VS Xiangjian performance that his parents had put on in front of him in this life. Why did they seem so happy when they were obviously so bad at fighting?

Since when did the joy he gained from dueling come from victory rather than enjoying the process of dueling?

After arriving at the Duel Academy, he inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

Perhaps, it’s because of the atmosphere of “love” here.

In fact, whether it is Yuki Judai or Yuma Kyujuku in the original work, they will face similar mental problems as Yu Feng is now.

Yugi Judai, who loved dueling, became a lonely hero after going through all kinds of hardships and becoming "Twenty-year-old". Until his duel with Yugi Muto across time and space, he found it difficult to recall the initial excitement of that duel.

The optimistic Kujuku Yuma, through a series of events, went from being unable to even figure out how to play a single card to becoming a god of war who couldn't lose a single round. But unknowingly, he also lost the smile he always had on his face, until Astral's final duel awakened him.
