Kagurazaka stared blankly at the reading on the electronic display of the Duel Disk that jumped to "0", as if it was difficult to accept the reality for a long time.
I lost… just like that?
With the deck of the strongest duelist in history, imitating the tactics of the best of the best, I was OTKed?!
No, it's not just that.
I was even OTKed during my own turn!
This whole duel felt like a joke to him, as if the other party wasn't even serious. The starfish head that "looks like a Muto Yugi" didn't even summon a decent monster from beginning to end.
What was the only monster he summoned in this duel?
Watapon, a miscellaneous fish with a mere 200 attack power…
He was actually killed by such a miscellaneous fish!?
This made him feel like a clown on the stage in the eyes of others, as he was so swollen just a few minutes ago.But why?
Kagurazaka couldn't figure it out, not at all.
He had studied Muto Yugi's duels carefully and had not missed every detail of each one.
The Duel King obviously also Fusion Summoned the Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast in the first turn. Why have I never seen that the Duel King was OTKed?
I did exactly the same thing, but why was it that I was instantly killed in just one turn—ah, to be more precise, it seemed like half a turn?
What's the difference between me and the real Duel King?
"Pah, pah, pah…"
The applause echoed rhythmically. The devastated Kagurazaka followed the sound and almost didn't scream again.
Duel King…Yuei Vu!
…Who is the blond guy following him? It looks so familiar but I can't remember it…
"As expected of Mr. Yugi, even if you haven't appeared in an official competition for so many years, you are still a national treasure." Yuei Vu jumped down from a big rock.
Yugi smiled: "Nothing, I'm already a bit rusty."
After a pause, he glanced at Kagurazaka and said, "There are also some outstanding and interesting students in your school. His duel is indeed quite nostalgic…"
Kagurazaka was stunned for a while while listening, and it took his brain a long time to process the information she had just received.
…Wait, what did Principal Yuei Vu call him just now?
It sounds like… Mr. Yugi?
Nani? This person is really Muto Yugi!?
Kagurazaka suddenly raised his head and looked at Yugi blankly. He was dumbfounded for a moment.
When he thought about his previous self-righteous and outrageously stupid remarks, Kagurazaka felt like he was struck by lightning.
Fortunately, Muto Yugi was a duelist with a good temper and easy to talk to, and he didn't seem to care at all about Kagurazaka's disrespectful attitude just now.
Not only that, he also walked up to Kagurazaka and patiently enlightened: "Classmate, as I just said, what you lack is not tactical thinking or even deck construction.
Although these are all necessary qualities for a duelist… they are not the most essential things for a true duelist. "
Kagurazaka looked at him blankly and repeated this sentence mechanically: "The most essential thing… for a true duelist?"
"Well." Yugi patted his shoulder and said gently, "No matter whose deck it is, it will never be the best in your hands.
Only by personally selecting each card from thousands of cards and putting all the emotions of the duelist into a deck can it be possible to truly connect with the duelist. "
Actually, although it sounded a bit metaphysical, this was really what Yugi said.
Deck construction and tactical awareness were the icing on the cake. What really needed to be practiced was the divine draw.
You said that Yugi often starts with Chimera, but do you believe that as long as the opponent's hand can OTK him, it won't be Chimera?
What is this called? This is the bond with the deck! It is the proof of true strength!
The longer he stayed in this world and the more he understood how this card-centric world worked, the more Yuei Vu became convinced of one thing——
——Simply holding a high-level deck with excellent construction and powerful power may make you a world-class player, but it will not make you a top player.
He could even imagine what would happen if a player challenged Yugi with the famous "Sudden Death" deck.
Player A: "According to the effect of ‘Makyura the Destructor', I activate the Trap Card ‘Exchange of the Spirit' from my hand! All the cards in the decks and graveyards of both players are exchanged! Then because you have no cards to draw in this turn, I win!”
Yugi: "Pay half of my LP, activate the Counter Trap ‘Red Reboot' from my hand, and negate the ‘Exchange of the Spirit'!"
Player A: *@! #(Died suddenly on the spot)
Okay, just an example. But that’s probably what it means.
The deck was like a weapon to the duelist – the stronger the weapon, the more useful it would be in the hand of an expert. But the user's own strength still mattered the most. The higher the duelist's rank, the stronger the same deck could be in their hands.
Moreover, the rank of duelist in this world could be achieved through accumulated practice over time.
For example, Marufuji Ryo, who has mastered the 502 magic skills to the point where he could outplay Judai. Another example is that in the GX animation, there was a secondary student who practiced in seclusion in the mountains like a savage, and actually developed a divine drawing skill that was as good as Judai's. …
So just like the training in fantasy novels, this thing required talent and hard work.
As long as you are gifted, have a "psychic physique" that can communicate with spirits, and have the guidance of famous teachers, coupled with years of hard study and practice, you will find…
…You are still no match for cheaters.
Yes, it is so true.
For example, our Judai. He was the reincarnation of a boss and brought his own cheat with him since his birth. He could level up even while lying down.
The first Duel King Muto Yugi wasn't so complicated as that. His cheat was a typical "grandpa" golden finger – a certain ancient boss survived a catastrophe that destroyed the world, leaving only a trace of his residual soul in a certain artifact. Later, the artifact fell into the hands of the protagonist, and the remaining soul of the boss in the artifact became the protagonist's cheat.
It's just that the typical "grandpa" usually lost all his cultivation and his strength was greatly reduced due to some special reasons. He could only give the protagonist a training method and guide him to become stronger to face powerful enemies.
But the person Yugi met was a little different. His "grandpa" has always personally taken part in all matters big and small, personally fought from bosses to minions. From the beginning to the end, it had nothing to do with the protagonist…
However, it was not until the end that everyone discovered that the "grandpa" seemed to be not as good as the protagonist.
The reason why the protagonist hired a proxy trainer was just because he was too lazy to play.
Or looking at it from another angle, it may be that everyone has misunderstood it.
Maybe Atem was the protagonist, and the genre of his novel was Second Chance. An ancient hero was reincarnated to the modern day, his ultimate goal was to defeat the evil god of destruction that he failed to defeat in his previous life. Muto Yugi was actually the grandpa…
At this time, receiving personal education from Duel King, Kagurazaka-san's eyes lit up, as if he had found the way forward.
"Thank you, Mr. Yugi!" He took a deep breath, stood up, and said firmly, "I have learned it!"
No, you haven't. Yuei Vu complained from the side.
Kid, you are not a reincarnation of someone famous nor have a spirit partner. Learning after a cheater will make you a failure in school…
