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

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.

Just like that...lost?

With the deck of the strongest duelist in history, imitating the tactics of the best of the best, but it was actually OTKed?

No, it's not just that.

He was even OTKed during his 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 game" in front of me didn't even summon a decent monster from beginning to end.

What was the only monster he summoned in this duel?

Cotton balls, bastards with a mere 200 attack power...

He was actually killed by such a bastard! ?

This made him feel like he was 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 clearly studied Muto Yugi's duels carefully, and had not missed every detail of each one.

He obviously also flipped the three cards in his hand and directly fused them with the winged fantasy beast Chimera? Why have you never seen a duel king killed instantly?

I obviously did exactly the same thing as others, but why was it that I was instantly killed in just one round - ah, no, to be more precise, it seemed like half a round -?

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...Yu Yu!

...Who is the blond guy following him? It looks so familiar, but I can't remember it...

"As expected of Mr. Game, even if he hasn't appeared in an official competition for so many years, he is still a treasure trove." You Yu jumped down from a big rock.

Yugi smiled: "Nothing, I'm already a bit rusty."

After a pause, he glanced at Rakuban and said, "There are also some outstanding and interesting students in your school. His duels are indeed quite nostalgic..."

Kagurazaka was stunned for a while while listening, and it took her brain a long time to process the information she had just received.

...Later, what did Principal You Yu call him just now?

It seems like... Mr. Game?

Nani? This person is really from Muto Games! ?

Kagurazaka suddenly raised her head and looked at Yugi blankly. She 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 is a duelist with a good temper and easy to talk to, and he doesn'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, in fact, as I just said, what you lack is not tactical thinking or even deck construction.

Although these are all necessary qualities for a duelist and compulsory courses... they are not the most essential things for a true duelist. "

Kagurazaka looked at him blankly and repeated this sentence mechanically: "The true duelist...the most essential thing?"

"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 a deck composed of each card from thousands of cards, and by pouring all the emotions of the duelist into it, can it be possible to truly connect with the duelist. "

Actually, although it sounds a bit metaphysical, this is really what the game says.

Deck construction and card-playing awareness are the icing on the cake. What should really be practiced is the magic draw.

You said that when you watch the video game, he often starts with Chimera, but do you believe that as long as the opponent's hand can OTK and he has a cliff-hanging hand, 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 stays in this world and the more he understands how this card-centric world works, the more You Yu becomes 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 the game with the famous "Netherworld" deck.

Player A: "According to the effect of 'Executioner Demon Shura', I activate the trap card 'Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld' from my hand! All cards in the decks and graveyards of both players are exchanged! Then because your deck next There are no cards to draw in this round, I win!”

Game: "Pay half of your health, activate the counterattack trap 'Red Restart' from your hand, and invalidate the 'Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld'!"

Player A: *! # (The deck lost all combat power and died suddenly on the spot)

Okay, just an example. But that’s probably what it means.

The deck is like a weapon to the duelist - the more useful the magic weapon is in hand, the stronger it will naturally be. But the duelist's level is a reflection of the duelist's own strength. The higher the level, the stronger the same deck can be in your hands.

Moreover, the level of duelist in this world can be achieved through accumulated practice over time.

For example, Ryo Marufuji, who has mastered the 502 Magic Skills to the point where he can enter the imperial palace. Another example is the Duel Academy in the GX animation, where there is a minor student who practiced in seclusion like a savage in the mountains, and actually developed a magical skill that is as good as Judai's. ...

So just like the training in fantasy fairy tales, this thing requires talent and hard work.

As long as you are gifted, have a "psychic physique" that can communicate with spirits, and meet 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, let’s not talk about the tenth generation of our second-generation protagonist traveling in the city. He is the reincarnation of a boss and brings his own grandfather. He can level up even while lying down.

The first Duel King Muto Yugi didn't have that many bells and whistles. His hook 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 to stay. 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 plug-in.

It's just that the "grandfather" of the fantasy protagonist usually loses all his cultivation and his strength is greatly reduced due to some special reasons. He can only give the protagonist skills and guide him to become stronger and face powerful enemies.

But the one I met in the game was a little different. His "grandpa" has always personally taken part in all matters big and small. He personally fights bosses and does chores and mistreats vegetables. From the beginning to the end, he has nothing to do with him...

However, it was not until the end that everyone discovered that the power booster seemed to be not as good as the boss.

The reason why I hired a proxy trainer was just because the boss was too lazy to play.

Or looking at it from another angle, it may be that everyone has misunderstood it.

In fact, Wang Yang is the protagonist, and his template is the reincarnation and reconstruction style. The ultimate goal is to defeat the evil god of destruction that he failed to defeat in his previous life. But Muto Yugi is actually the grandpa...

At this time, receiving personal education from Duel King Ichiban, Kagurazaka-san's eyes lit up, as if he had found the way forward.

"Thank you Mr. Game!" He took a deep breath, stood up and said firmly, "I have learned it!"

You must have lost your studies. You Yu complained from the side.

My child, you are not a reincarnation and you have no soul behind it. It sounds like you are probably a failure in school...
