"The opponent is…me?" Asuka was a little dazed.
"Although I don't know the reason, I instinctively hope to fight you." The man who calls himself Nightshroud said calmly, "Why, don't you dare to accept it?"
Before Asuka could reply, Judai rushed forward: "Hey, don't ignore others! Your first opponent is…"
"It's okay, Judai." Asuka stepped forward and smiled at him, "Since the other party has named me, I definitely can't back down.
After all, I am a duelist too! "
Asuka was a girl with strong self-esteem. She felt very guilty for being held hostage by Titan and being rescued by Judai last time. This time, the opponent named her to fight. She would no longer be able to hide behind Judai.
She didn't like to always rely on others.
"Uh… okay then." Judai retreated.
Asuka may have felt that she didn't owe Judai any favors by bravely going up to the challenge, but she didn't know that Judai was even a little unhappy at having this exciting duel taken away…
If it were someone else here, he might not give up this opportunity. But after all, Asuka was a "good brother". Judai thought about it and decided to give up this rare card game…But what they didn't expect was that at the moment they were locked by Nightshroud and involved in the Shadow Game, Asuka's mentor, Coke Sprite, immediately received a new mission prompt from the system.
The mission description said that her student Asuka was in a Shadow Game, and the location and opponent were clearly marked. And because this is Asuka's first time, if she won this duel, Coke Sprite, as a mentor, would also receive a very generous reward.
Of course, Sprite’s initial focus wasn’t on rewards.
The moment she saw the mission description, Sister Sprite's heart immediately sank, her hands and feet were cold, and she panicked as if something had happened to her own daughter.
This was the most precious good student in their whole guild!
And unlike them, who died casually and unable to stay dead, if this lovely student lost, she would be gone for real!
Sister Sprite was so anxious that she rushed towards the back mountain and immediately informed the president.
When President Sandbag heard about this, he immediately became furious——
– Damn it, someone dares to touch our student!?
Coupled with other online players in the stronghold, a large number of people rushed to the location in a hurry.
But they still came a little late. By the time they arrived, the Shadow Game had already started, and until the duel was over, no one could set foot in that realm. They just had time to grab a front-row seat.
Thanks to the gentleman named Nightshroud who gave Asuka a final chance to adjust her deck before the battle, the mentors happened to catch up before the battle started.
Sister Sprite immediately became anxious when she saw it, and shouted to Nightshroud: "Hey! Let that girl go, come to me if you want to play cards!"
President Sandbag was particularly manly at times like this: "No, don't bully girls if you can, come at me!"
Anyway, the screwball's life was not precious. Even if someone accidentally died thrice, the big deal was that they would be forced to go offline for a few days. Although the card addiction was a bit unbearable, it was not a big problem.
But if their precious apprentice was gone, they really lost her!
Asuka didn't know what was going on, and couldn't help but be touched when she saw the teachers caring so much about her: "It's okay, sensei. Please take a look at the results of my practice!"
Nightshroud also sneered: "Once the Shadow Game starts, it cannot be stopped, nor can it be replaced midway. But don't worry, you will all have a chance when I finish her off."
It seemed that Mr. Nightshroud was very confident in his endurance. He could fight multiple people in succession and last all night in an activity that required a lot of physical energy. It was unusual for a Shadow Duelist.
Some players were surprised: "That's not right. Didn't this guy come out to play cards with Judai in the anime? How did Judai become an audience?"
Sister Sprite was also anxious.
Yes, if you are so capable, why don't bully that jellyfish head behind you? I promise that he can cure your card addiction!
What's the point of bullying our lovely Asuka?
Speaking of which, she is still your sister! Are you such a beast that you won’t even let your sister go?
Nightshroud was also a top mini-boss in the early stages of the animation. Not only did he have the same ultra-rare card "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" as God of Gamblers, but his power also came from Nightshroud, the final BOSS of GX — It could be seen from the similar names.
In the early stages of the anime, it took a lot of effort for Yuki Judai to defeat him, and after the fight, he even went to the hospital bed for several episodes before getting out of bed.
Moreover, Nightshroud himself was Fubuki, the king who was once known as the "Twin Gems of the academy" along with Marufuji Ryo. Back then, his strength was equal to Marufuji Ryo. Now that his strength has skyrocketed after being swallowed by Nightshroud, he must not be underestimated.
Although Fubuki's record in the anime was disappointing and his winning rate was comparable to that of his senior Mr. Marik…
If it were Asuka in the original anime, she might not be able to beat Nightshroud at this stage. And she doesn't have a background like Judai, so she might be killed if she's not careful.
That's why Sister Sprite was anxious, fearing that the UR student she finally got would be gone.
Now she could only hope that her special card training and supplementary cards for Asuka during this semester would work…
"Duel!" x2
【Nightshroud, LP 4000】
【Tenjoin Asuka, LP 4000】
"I'm the first to go, draw!" Asuka took the lead in drawing a card.
President Sandbag was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He turned his head and looked at Coke Sprite: "Did you give her all the cards you bought last time?"
"Of course, I gave it to her!" Coke Sprite was also panicked, "I explained each card to her one by one, and the usage of each card was explained in detail for a long time!"
"Oh, that shouldn't be a big problem…right?"
President Sandbag said and looked sideways at the Coke Sprite.
Coke Sprite almost cried: "How did I know!"
To be honest, if she had the deck of cards that Asuka was holding in her hand, she would be completely fearless.
Most of the deck was Asuka's own cards, but after being carefully adjusted and optimized by Sister Sprite one-on-one, this deck had the retrieval ability, explosive capability, and field-clearing method that a high-level deck should have. It should be pretty good.
Of course, it could not compare to many decks in later generations, but at least in an environment like the GX era, it should be considered a top deck.
But Coke Sprite didn’t dare to raise a flag.
After all, Asuka was just such a precious student, what if she lost because the goddess of fate was tempted?
Asuka took a deep breath to calm her breathing, her chest rising and falling with it.
While this duel was about her life, it was also an opportunity for her to give her best answer to her mentor who has been working hard for her these days!
She wanted to let the teacher see her current strength through this duel!
