Chapter 168 Duel Monster Father
【Takahashi, LP 0】

Even Sakurako, the young girl from the Electronics Association who came with the chief, was stunned for a moment, her expression a little bewildered, as if she found it difficult to accept this fact all of a sudden.

The chief lost?

And they didn't lose to another deck, but to the user of their electronic deck, who was a student of the Duel Academy.
If I were to explain further, it was actually his own soul, the "Electrified Ice Blade Hand", that delivered the final blow.

Sakura hesitated for a moment.

Well, I don’t know what the chief would think, but if it were me, I felt that after playing this game, I might have a “mental breakdown” - a real one.

She turned to look at Asuka who had put away the duel disk.

Is that thing of yours really an electronic angel?
Just looking at the effect that can only be activated by jumping from the underworld, and the absolute defensive ability that can be called a turtle shell, which can both increase blood and block attacks, especially the torture brought to the opponent by repeatedly jumping sideways, even the devil would have to give way to it.
After playing cards, Asuka picked up the Satiya on the duel disk and took a look at it. Her expression was a little complicated for a moment.

This card was just printed these two days ago, and today was her first chance to try it out in actual combat, so naturally she didn't have much time to re-study the deck's pairing and construction. Therefore, the tactical guidance and suggestions for the new deck after the enhancement were largely from You Xuan.

In fact, when Youxuan first shared this "interesting idea" with her, Asuka instinctively resisted.

After all, she had played electronic decks for so many years that summoning big monsters to fight was almost an instinct ingrained in her DNA. When You Xuan suddenly suggested trying to use this absolute defensive angel with only 1,000 attacks to repeatedly resurrect as the core of the strategy, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at first.

But now after trying it, Asuka had to admit that she couldn't help but have an lingering wonderful feeling in her heart.

It was a subtle feeling that she had never experienced in the exciting duels she had pursued in the past, and it was difficult to describe.

But the moment the duel ended, the words that Judai-san often said came to my mind involuntarily -

——I won. It was such an interesting duel!
It turns out that playing cards like this is so interesting.
Asuka took a deep breath, and carefully put away the "electronic angel - Nasatimi" more solemnly, her restless heart ready to move.

It's like opening the door to a new world.

The experts at the conference were all very satisfied after watching the duel, and they started a heated discussion, as if they were ignited by this interesting duel. The atmosphere in the conference hall was also relaxed.

Some people are saying that this student from the Duel Academy is extraordinary. He was able to win the association's top spot with an electronic deck, and his future is truly limitless.

Some experts have even spoken to You Xuan and Misawa off the field.

The meeting had not even started yet, but the atmosphere had already been heated up by the opening duel. The experts were discussing enthusiastically, with smiles on their faces. They were particularly interested in the new electronic card that actually had some of the style of the Wei Wu, and asked the Duel Academy trio all sorts of questions.

On the contrary, Chief Takahashi, who was originally most concerned about electronic research, became much calmer after the fight.

Strange to say.

Logically speaking, as the head of the association, she should have gained a lot from today's trip.

Today they discovered a treasure school girl who perfectly inherited their electronic card deck, and also found new cards with potential to bring breakthrough progress to their research that has been stuck in a bottleneck for many years.

Obviously, these are two happy things happening together, but why do I suddenly feel unmotivated after playing a game of cards?
As the meeting was about to begin, Tianma Yexing, the organizer, stood up, picked up the microphone and coughed twice, attracting attention.

"Okay. First of all, I would like to thank Asuka Tenjouin from the Duel Academy and Chief Takahashi from the Electronics Research Association for bringing us a wonderful and enjoyable duel."

Upon hearing this, all the experts nodded in agreement.

Only Chief Takahashi had a blank expression on his face.

Is it exciting? Is it enjoyable?
I don’t think so.

"At the same time, the results brought by the student team from Duel Academy today have been shown to everyone in advance. I believe that everyone has seen their amazing breakthroughs."

Ye Xing said, and looked at You Xuan more intentionally or unintentionally, with a smile on his face. You Xuan was not sure what that meant. But from that look, he seemed to read the meaning of "you are worthy of being the man who defeated me".

This made You Xuan suddenly feel that more and more people were thinking about him.
He thought about it.

No, I can't let people keep remembering me like this for no reason.

In the future, I have to think more about how to turn it into benefits.

"And, I think these young people from the Duel Academy have given us a good start. This is a pretty good inspiration."

Pegasus Night Walk continued.

“The world of Duel Monsters is extremely vast, and those of us who develop cards are pioneers in the frontier, or explorers to some extent.

As an explorer, one of the biggest taboos is to stick to the old ways, to be constrained by the existing framework and to form a fixed mindset. We use common sense to constrain the decks we develop, while ignoring the new possibilities that the cards may have originally existed. "

As Ye Xing was speaking, the experts below were thinking thoughtfully and nodding slightly.

"And these young people have demonstrated this, finding a new direction that is different from the original route of the deck." Night Walk glanced at everyone present, "I hope this can serve as a reminder, so that everyone can lead Duel Monsters to go further together."

"That makes sense."

The sound came from on high.

Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the second floor of the venue.

The man who was speaking was wearing an elegant red suit, with silver hair covering half of his face and hiding his left eye.

Some people couldn't help but exclaim.

that is.
Becas J. Croftow!

It was this man who searched all over the world to revive his deceased wife and unearthed the 3,000-year-old Duel Monsters Tablet in Egypt, which allowed the power of the Duel Monsters to be revived in modern times.

In today's era, many people call the establishment of the "International Illusion Society" by Bekas the beginning of a new era.

And he is the man with the title of "Father of Duel Monsters".

"Mr. Beckas!"

"You actually came to the venue in person."

The experts hurriedly stood up to show their respect.

As we all know, most of the affairs of the International Illusion Agency have actually been handed over to Bekas's two adopted sons, the twin brothers Tianma Yexing and Tianma Yuexing.

As the father of Duel Monsters, Bekas had long since retired from the world and rarely showed up in public. No one expected to see him in person today.

"Don't be nervous, everyone sit down."

Beckas walked down the stairs, speaking with a smile, his one-eyed gaze slowly swept across the conference hall, soon stopping on You Xuan and the other three.

Then he smiled.

"A student of Duel Academy? Then may I ask what should I call this boy?"
