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

On the other side of the ocean, in a brightly lit international city.

Perhaps the entire city's traffic was concentrated in one place, and the streets were blocked. Tens of thousands of people surrounded the white circular open-air venue, surrounded by pale white watchtowers, and searchlights cut through the night like golden swords.

Today is the highly anticipated annual finals of the Duelist Professional League. Nearly half of the people in the city gathered here, even those who couldn't get tickets.

The venue was overcrowded inside and outside, and the Haima Group hot air balloons with the "KC" logo echoed leisurely above the venue. A huge electronic screen hangs in the air, and on the screen are the contestants competing today.

What makes this match so exciting is that one of its protagonists is a rising star in the professional scene.

It was a young man with silver-white hair and deep, sharp blue eyes. He always wears a smart and elegant white suit, with a confident but elegant smile on his handsome face, as if he is confident about everything.

Ed Phoenix, a rising star in the professional world. Although it is their first year entering the league, they have not lost a single game so far.

As a newcomer, Amity's fight all the way surprised many experts. During his competition, he encountered strong opponents many times, and almost every time, as a newcomer, he was not favored by the experts.

An overseas professional commentator who is called "Old Immortal" claimed more than once that he felt it was almost time for this newcomer to hit a wall. But every time, Amity can refresh everyone's understanding again, killing his opponents in an instant with an almost impeccable performance, and severely slapping the professional commentators in the face.

In just one season, Ed has won himself a large number of fans, and it seems that most of them are girls.

There is no way, handsome people sometimes have this kind of trouble.

Ed's handsomeness was also written into his character design. When he first appeared in Duel Academy in the anime, Asuka's two nymphomaniac roommates rebelled at the speed of light and ran to support Ed, but there was nothing they could do. He was too handsome.

Even when You Yu accidentally saw Ed in a TV interview, he had to admit that

Not bad, the young man is almost half as charming as me.

Although it is impossible to outperform him, it is still worthy of recognition.

Everyone is curious as to when this budding newcomer will hit a wall. As a result, Ed miraculously set new records and defeated powerful opponents time and time again, actually winning all the way.

He won more and more games until his name was all over the professional league circuit. The headlines in newspapers and magazines, as well as people's daily topics, are almost inseparable from the name Ed Phoenix.

What follows is a question that everyone finally has to face up to.

Is this kid going to win the championship directly?

Winning the world championship in the first season of entering the league is too ridiculous, right?

Then, under the spotlight, he actually made it this far, standing in the league finals.

All the spectators present felt that they were witnessing the birth of a new legend.

Today, Ed's opponent is a burly man with a bald head and a muscular body. He even wears a prison uniform unique to prisoners when he appears.

According to the referee, this is the famous prisoner duelist, a super-high IQ criminal with an IQ of 200, and the felon Dr. Creguta who is currently serving his sentence in prison!

The moment the host finished his introduction, the muscular man suddenly shouted loudly and used his monster-like muscle power to forcefully burst out of his clothes, tearing his tight clothes to pieces and exposing the strong muscles underneath.

Yes, that’s right, felons serving time in prison these days can actually go to the arena and play cards after serving their sentences.

It can only be said that perhaps in the social system established under the leadership of the Haima Group, the rights of playing cards are above all else. Maybe those in power thought it was too cruel and inhumane for a criminal in prison to serve so many years and not even be allowed to play cards, so they allowed him to play cards while serving his sentence.

There is even news that Dr. Cregutta was assisting the F.B.I. (FBI) while he was in prison. Perhaps it was his cooperation that earned him the privilege of playing cards while serving his sentence.

I heard that dueling crimes is also quite popular among gangs. Nowadays, many street gangsters don’t bring guns but dueling disks when they go out.

In recent years, F.C. has been intensifying its efforts to crack down on the problem of transnational duel criminal groups. It is said that the agents of the relevant teams must not only be equipped with guns but also duel disks when on duty.

In the professional league finals of the second issue of the GX animation, the same Dr. Creguta stepped onto the stage of the finals, but his opponent in the animation was DD, who was said to have been the world champion for ten consecutive years and was "broken." Ed's adoptive father possessed by "The Light".

Of course, that part of the Light of Destruction had been eliminated by You Yu six years ago, so naturally there would be nothing wrong with the Light of Destruction here.

Therefore, it was Ed himself who replaced DD in the original history on the finals stage.

Dr. Cregutta stood on the playing field, looking at Ed who was a full head shorter than him, and couldn't help but grin.

"The opponent in the finals is actually such a young kid. It seems that they are not groundless when they say that the level of the league is getting worse year by year."

Ed maintained his usual elegant smile and seemed not to take the opponent's pre-match trash talk at all. He just silently opened the duel disk, and the deck was quickly shuffled automatically in the slot.

He made a "please" gesture to indicate that he was ready.

"Tch, you're a pretentious brat." Dr. Creguta was disdainful and opened the duel plate as well. "You will soon stop laughing."

"Duel!" x2

"I attack first and draw cards." Ed said, "The magic card 'TakeOve' discards the five cards from the top of the deck to the graveyard.

Then I summoned ‘Hero of Destiny Diamond Man’ to be in attack mode! "

[Hero of Destiny·Diamond Man, attack power 1400]

"For Diamond Man's effect, check a card from the top of the deck. If that card is a magic card, send it to the graveyard. The effect can be activated directly in the preparation phase of the next turn without any cost.

If it is not a magic card, it is returned to the bottom of the deck. "

If a real card player uses the effect of "Diamond Man", he may not be able to draw a magic card nine out of ten times. But for a duelist like our classmate Ed, throughout the entire animation, he has never failed to draw a magic card.

“What I drew is the magic card ‘Destiny Card’.” Ed said, “The effect of ‘Destiny Card’ is to draw two cards from the deck at the cost of discarding one ‘Destiny Hero’.

But because of the effect of 'Diamond Man', I can directly draw two cards next turn without discarding 'Hero of Destiny'. "

He then draws another card.

"Set a card and the turn is over."

Dr. Creguta couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the lone diamond and a Gaika on his field.

"Oh, those people are bragging that you are a rising star in the duel world, but it seems like that. A lineup of this level will be instantly killed in front of me.

My turn, draw a card! "

Dr. Creguta waved his hand, saying that I would directly retaliate against society!

"Perpetual Magic 'Crack of Dimension'!" He played the first card, "As long as this magic card is on the field, all monsters sent to the graveyard by both sides will not be sent to the graveyard and will be directly removed from the game!"
