I'm playing cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!

Manjomu was lying on his back, staring blankly at the ceiling of the duel arena, not even reacting to the applause and cheers of the audience.

He lost, or to be more precise, he had lost half a minute ago, but he was still trying to accept this fact.

He lost this duel that he must not lose.

Manjomu was very tired at this moment. He had never felt so exhausted as he was when he worked overtime and trained all night. He lay on the ground as if his body had lost weight, and he didn't even want to move a finger. Every cell in his body had never been so eager for rest as it was now.

The shouts from the audience seemed to be gradually fading away, and some of them were not clear.

He didn't even dare to look at his mentor's expression, although he could probably imagine it.

Judai waved happily at the enthusiastic classmates around him.

According to convention, no matter whether he won or lost after playing cards (although he basically had never lost so far), he would flash in front of others and put on a standard "Yuki Judai-style" PO color and say "What an interesting duel".

But this time, seeing Manjome's hopeless look, as if the world was over even though he had only lost a game of cards, he didn't do so.

Judai remembered a conversation he had with Mr. Youyu in the past.

""

"Judai, you said 'it was an interesting duel', although you may really think so, sometimes not all opponents may want to hear that."

"Huh? Why?" Judai blinked in confusion.

Duel is so fun, how could anyone not find it interesting?

"Because after all, it is still a game of winning and losing." Youyu said, "The greater the satisfaction the winner gets, the more frustrated the loser will feel.

And not everyone in the world has the time to enjoy duels. Some duelists may have reasons to win, and not everyone can afford the cost of losing.

For many people, winning may be much more important than the duel itself."

Little Judai was even more confused. Obviously, such a topic was too complicated for his simple little head.

"If you don't understand, forget it." You Yu touched his little jellyfish head, "Anyway, don't forget this, you will understand it one day."

"Oh oh."

""

Judai walked up to Manjome, touched his head and smiled: "Although it seems that I won this time, you are also very strong, Manjome! I didn't expect that you actually have such a strong spirit as the Dragon of Light and Darkness. It really scared me."

Manjome looked at him coldly.

"In fact, I think duels should be happy things. Although it may be very unwilling to lose, I still think that no one should be hurt because of duels."

Judai rarely became serious.

"Winning and losing in duels is a common thing. If you can't enjoy the fun of the process just because you lose a duel occasionally, it would be a pity."

He really thinks so from the bottom of his heart.

Judai has been used to being beaten since he was a child. He didn't even win against Teacher You Yu, and he even had a hard time summoning the monster he wanted to summon.

I remember a few years ago, young Judai was repeatedly tricked by Youyu and doubted his life. Finally, he slowly asked, "Do all the strong people play cards like this?" In order to dispel Judai's doubts, Youyu first invited Mr. Ma, a legendary duelist and sunny boy from Egypt, to play cards with Judai, and then invited Mr. Ma's loyal servant Lishid and beautiful sister Isis to play cards with Judai. Finally, as the finale, he specially invited the first generation duel king Muto Yugi, who was as famous as himself, to play a game with Judai. After the three people guarding the tomb and the two duel kings, and the baptism of the eighteen-style heavy tricks, Judai accepted this setting. Oh, it turns out that the real strong people really play cards like this. The reason why he couldn't beat them was because he was too weak. Even though he had been baptized by this devilish baptism that was enough to cure the thousand-year card addiction since he was a child, Judai's passion for duels has never diminished. It is enough to see that in terms of the enthusiasm for playing cards, perhaps only Kaiba President and Judai can compete with each other in the world.

"From another perspective, it is because everything is uncertain that the duel is so interesting?" Judai explained to Manjome with great interest, "Just like the world may change every time you draw a card, no one can guess the subsequent direction before the duel begins, right?

Isn't this the fun of the duel? Think about it, when we fight again next time, I may lose to you, Manjome! Don't you feel excited when you think of this possibility?"

Judai couldn't help but dance with joy when he said this, as if the possibility of "being killed by Manjome" made people look forward to it.

He looked like a child who couldn't wait to share his favorite toys with his friends.

Manjome stared at his excitement, and felt that even the frustration and loss of defeat in his heart were diluted a lot.

Yuki Judai is really an inexplicable guy, making people completely confused.

"Huh, idiot." He muttered vaguely.

Judai leaned over and held out his hand to him: "Come on, let's have a happy duel together next time!"

Manjomu looked at the hand he held out to him, and was surprised to find that he hesitated for two or three seconds on the option of "whether to reach out and hold it".

He quickly shook off this terrible thought, slapped Judai's hand aside, and stood up.

MD, if I wasn’t paying attention, I almost got carried away by the rhythm of the jellyfish head again!

"Hmph↓! Who wants to come with you next time?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that this statement seemed a bit bad.

"Simple-minded, hot-blooded idiot!"

After another low curse, Wan Zhangmu turned his head and left the scene angrily.

"Sorry, teacher."

Outside the academy, in a deserted place, Wan Zhangmu stood in front of Kaiba with his head lowered.

"I failed."

Kaiba's back was turned to him, so that he couldn't see his expression.

"I said, failure is not allowed." Kaiba said coldly, with a tone of non-negotiability in his voice.

Wan Zhangmu bit his lip, lowered his head and said nothing.

From the moment he failed, he had more or less expected the result: he would be abandoned, expelled from the school, and become a shame that neither his teacher nor his family wanted to mention again.

He wasn't ready to face this fact.

Kaiba seemed to be taking steps to leave.

Every time he took a step further, Wan Zhangmu's heart sank a bit.

But before he had gone far, Kaiba stopped for a moment.

"Failure is not allowed, so you must keep trying until you succeed!"

Wan Zhangmu suddenly raised his head, his face full of surprise.

"teacher"

"Hmph, don't give me such an ugly expression." Kaiba snorted coldly, "You don't even know how to deal with defeat, and you don't deserve to be my student, Seto Kaiba!"

After all, as a teacher, Kaiba has a wealth of experience in defeat.

"Yes! Teacher!"

Wan Zhangmu suppressed his joy and bowed vigorously. He didn't raise his head until the teacher's back disappeared from sight.

You Yu, who spied this scene from a dark place not far away, couldn't help but sigh softly.

From some aspects, this master and apprentice are quite suitable.
