Wang Quan was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Don't you want to duel?"
The girl shook her head vigorously, and her long silver hair swung back and forth.
"Oh, if you don't want to, forget it."
Wang Quan hung the Dark Magician Girl back around his neck in boredom, turned around and was about to leave, which made Illya stunned.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Are you letting this go?"
Listening to Illya's question, Wang Quan looked at Illya in even greater confusion: "What else? Don't you want to duel with me?"
Illya nodded blankly.
"Then let it go."
Wang Quan shook his head and turned away, leaving Illya staring at the boy in shock. Was there ever a single enemy she'd fought who had stopped just because she'd said no? This card was too good to be true...
That's right! This is unreal! There must be something wrong here!
Illya called out to Wang Quan anxiously, "Where are you going?"
"Since you don't plan to duel with me, then of course I will find the next person in this school to duel with."
"Find the next person? And then duel with the next person?"
Illya looked at Wang Quan in horror: "What exactly is your purpose..."
"Purpose? Of course, it's to directly empty the opponent's health."
Wang Quan said as a matter of course: "What else do you think?"
"..."
"unacceptable."
Illya felt her fists clench. She wanted to ask what was wrong with him! That was a child's life, how could he just say "Let's have bread tonight" in a bland tone?
But she also understood that for the people in her world... elementary school students like her who changed career path halfway were the outliers. Eating people in the same tone as eating bread, like this refreshing-looking child in front of her, was the norm in that world.
"I promise you."
Illya said to Wang Quan word by word: "Don't leave after school, let's go to the open space not far from here, I will give you a duel that will satisfy you."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Wang Quan nodded, then said to Illya confidently: "By the way - although I am a novice, I am confident that I can get rid of you in the first round of the battle. If you don't want to be defeated so easily, remember to use all your strength to entertain me."
After saying that, Wang Quan turned and left, leaving Illya trembling with fear, holding her schoolbag.
"Illya-san, cheer up!"
A pink magic wand emerged from the schoolbag and said to Illya, "While there is still some time before school is over, let's go call someone."
"Hmm..." Three
Illya looked at the wand anxiously: "Ruby, that kid who is shorter than me, is he very strong?"
"Hmm... I don't know."
The pink wand said in a slightly confused tone, "It's just a vague feeling that I shouldn't appear in front of that child and should stay away from him. It's a subtle 'feeling'."
"Even you said that, Ruby."
Thinking about facing such a terrifying elementary school student after school, Illya asked with trembling teeth: "Can I still win?"
"We'll win...right?"
The wand said without any confidence.
Blood, Tears, Friendship, and Enemy of Primary School Students: Chapter 7 You Don’t Have Any Friends
'After school' was always a pleasant thing, a chance to finish studying and play with friends, but this was the first time Illya felt such mixed emotions about it. Especially when she thought about the powerful enemy who had vowed to kill her in a single round, squatting after school, Illya couldn't help but hold her stomach, feeling waves of stomach pain coming over her.
But in order to prevent the peer who talked about taking other people's lives as if they were eating bread from reaching out to innocent elementary school students, she could only bite the bullet, walk heavy and rush to the duel site with a heavy heart.
"Ilia."
A faint greeting sounded from the side, and she looked back.
Her best friend Miyu, who was waiting for her at the classroom door, looked at her expressionlessly. "Don't worry too much. Ms. Luvia and Ms. Rin have already scouted the area and set up many traps. I'll also ambush the provocateur later."
"That's really reassuring."
Seeing the worry in Miyu's eyes despite her calm face, Illya cheered herself up, smiled and nodded at her best friend, then strode towards the agreed location.
"Here we go, master."
Wang Quan, who had been waiting in the open space for quite a while, looked at Miyu walking towards him, his lips curled up slightly as he spoke slowly, "Are you ready?"
"Well, I think we're ready...right?"
Illya kept looking to the side, and the voice of Ruby the Magic Wand sounded in her mind.
"Illya-san, the three members of the ambush team are ready. There's also an explosive gem set under the child's feet. As long as you smash the cup as a signal, those two magic ladies will rush out screaming. With four against one, we're sure to win."
Illya scratched her head - where did she get the cup?
"Are you really ready?"
Seeing Illya's eyes wandering around, looking distracted, Wang Quan frowned slightly. "I've postponed another important meeting and have been waiting here for quite a while. If I can easily deal with you, I'll question the meaning of wasting all this time."
"Then I will try my best not to let you easily solve it."
Illya looked at Wang Quan seriously and prepared herself mentally - if this kid who was a little shorter than her was really strong enough to defeat her in one round, then she would borrow Miyu's magic wand and use the star form of burning life to fight the enemy!
"Then let's get started."
As he said that, Wang Quan took off his coat and threw it on the ground, then sat down on it, took out the Yu-Gi-Oh tablecloth and unfolded it, and finally took out his own card deck.
At Illya's bewildered gaze, Wang Quan looked up and asked, "By the way, how do you calculate your health points? Do you want to start with 4000 or 8000? I personally prefer 8000, but if you want to start with 4000 health points, that's fine too."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"what?"
Illya looked at Wang Quan in confusion: "What 4000 points? What 8000 points?"
"Ok?"
Wang Quan looked at Illya in confusion. "The life value at the beginning of the game, is there another four thousand or eight thousand that a newbie like me doesn't know about?"
"game?!"
Illya's eyes widened in shock. "Are you not here to challenge me to a duel, but rather a poker-like duel of card skills, rather than a duel of strength?"
"A showdown of strength?"
Wang Quan was also stunned for a moment, although he was keenly aware that there might be a huge misunderstanding between him and Illya.
He still remembered that the card shop owner mentioned the second way to play Yu-Gi-Oh! - 'Slap the Picture'. Both players held a card and rushed towards each other with great momentum, then slammed them together. Whoever's card was face up would win.
Could it be that Illya, considered a master in Wang Xiaoming's eyes, was actually good at holding cards and comparing strength with her opponent? Was she actually a novice who didn't even know how many health points to start the game with, and was even more of a novice than him?!
"Let me ask again."
Wang Quan held up the [Dark Magician Girl] and looked at Illya helplessly and said, "Are you really a master at playing cards?"
"Is it at the level where I can use it proficiently?"
Illya reached for the card holder at her waist, took out three cards, unfolded them in her hand, and looked at Wang Quan weakly and asked, "A duel is about using the power of cards to decide the outcome, isn't it?"
Watching Illya clutch the card tightly in her hand, Wang Quan said with a strange expression, "It seems you completely misunderstood me. But you're right. You can't expect an elementary school student with their pitiful knowledge to understand the rules of the game hidden in these densely packed characters. For you, taking pictures is the correct way to play. There's nothing we can do about this misunderstanding."
He held the Dark Magician Girl in his hand and shook his head at Illya, saying, "I just wanted to compete with you in card skills, not in strength."
Illya stared blankly at Wang Quan. After a moment, her crystal-clear cheeks quickly flushed. She covered her burning face and wailed, "Is this a misunderstanding? But you kept talking about dueling and emptying other people's lives."
"Duel is the famous line from the opening of Yu-Gi-Oh! Clearing out the other person's health bar is the means to victory."
Wang Quan shook his head and said, "Isn't this common sense? What have you misunderstood?"
Illya stood there in shock. She had been complaining about Wang Quan's lack of common sense, but was she the one who really lacked common sense?
Looking at the dazed Illya, Wang Quan rubbed his temples with a headache: "I'm beginning to question the meaning of all this time I've been waiting."
bang bang...
Two strange noises were heard, and Wang Quan subconsciously looked towards the big tree not far away. It seemed like something had fallen down?
But when he saw that there was nothing under the tree, he withdrew his gaze.
"After thinking about it for a while, I decided that this wasn't my fault."
In order to defend her common sense, Illya said to Wang Quan seriously, "It's all because of the card in your card holder. If that card hadn't put such great pressure on me, this misunderstanding would never have happened."
"Dark Magician Girl?"
Wang Quan played with the card in his hand in confusion. "It's true that Dark Magician Girl is incredibly powerful, but that's only true in a serious Yu-Gi-Oh match. In a Paipa duel, she's just a card that can be found everywhere."
Illya blinked. Could it be that Wang Quan didn't know that the card was not an ordinary card?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she saw the card with the name "Dark Magician Girl" written on it in the card holder on Wang Quan's chest. The girl in the card had a look of helplessness and distress between her brows.
"Anyway, since this is just a misunderstanding."
Wang Quan shook his head and said, "Then let's say goodbye here. I still have to go block your school gate and see if I can get lucky enough to catch Fat Tiger."
"that……"
Illya scratched her head. "Are you going to use the game method, through the so-called card duel, to defeat that Fat Tiger?"
"If possible, I hope to defeat Fat Tiger with strength rather than games."
Wang Quan said depressedly, "But unfortunately, I don't know what that guy ate to grow so tall. I can't beat him, so I can only use this trick to resolve this matter."
"That's it."
Illya stared at Wang Quan thoughtfully for a long time, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Wang Quan with the pride of having turned the game around. She met Wang Quan's puzzled look of "What are you laughing at" with certainty, certainty, and definiteness.
"I see—you have no companions!"
The Blood, Tears, Friendship, and Enemy of Primary School Students: Chapter 11: Primary School Students Who Don't Believe in Light
"You don't have a partner!"
Seeing Illya's slightly excited look, Wang Quan nodded in confusion: "How did you know?"
"Hehe, because I've been through a lot too."
Illya patted her chest and said affirmatively: "When I encounter difficulties, my friends will gather around me and help me solve the problems. But you challenge Fat Tiger alone, so - you must have no friends!"
Wang Quan looked at Illya's slightly smug expression with doubt, then nodded and said, "Indeed not."
"Eh?"
Illya blinked and looked at Wang Quan, whose face was calm, in confusion: "Why aren't you anxious?"
"Why the rush?"
Wang Quan asked curiously.
"Because you don't have a partner."
Illya looked at Wang Quan in surprise. "Shouldn't you be anxious when I exposed such an embarrassing thing? Pandora always gets so anxious that she wants to beat me up."
"You actually think having a partner is so great...are you an elementary school student?"
Wang Quan held his forehead helplessly and said, "Illya Einzbern, do you know how to write the Chinese character for partner?"
"Well……"
Illya was speechless for a moment.
"One person plus a fire is called a huō, and the character ban symbolizes people dividing and sharing food. The two characters combined together describe a group of people cooking, and the relationship between these people is called huōng (partnership)."
Wang Quan crossed his arms, looked at Illya, and whispered, "Because productivity was low in ancient times, even the firewood needed for cooking was a considerable expense. To save money on firewood, people gathered together and cooked a large pot of rice at once. This saved a lot of money on firewood. This kind of relationship of eating from the same pot was called a partnership, a social relationship that emerged to adapt to the era of low productivity."
Illya scratched her head and said weakly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
