Chapter 20 Winning the Championship
"Lose, lose?"

Ryuzaki knelt down in the posture of a suspect in a Shinigami elementary school whose conspiracy had been exposed, with his hands on the ground, his face still a little confused.

It seemed unreal.

After years of training his troops and concentrating on retreat, he finally made up his mind to make a big comeback.
In the end, you failed at the teaching level?

He can't accept it!

The applause that came from all around the venue after a delay of several seconds tore through his fantasy and dragged him back to the cruel reality. At first, there were only a few scattered applause, as if they had just recovered from the shock of the duel. Then, under the leadership of someone unknown, it turned into an overwhelming cheer, mixed with cheers for the contestant's name.

Well, obviously, it wasn't him that was being called Ryuzaki, but the new guy who was rubbing him on the ground.

The legendary duelist, Ryuuzaki, failed in his comeback as a king, but instead became a stepping stone for a rising star.

"Congratulations to Fujiki Yugen for successfully defeating Dinosaur Ryuusaki and winning the championship of this year's Moonlight Cup!"

The commentator Xiaodu shouted excitedly.

"What an incredible duel! The newcomer who made his debut won the first match against Ryuuzaki, who had just returned from seclusion, and even maintained the upper hand throughout the duel.
No, not only that, even until the very end his LP remained at 4,000 points! He literally cleared the game without taking any damage! "

Ryuzaki: Stop cursing. Stop cursing.

"Yes. And based on my many years of experience as a commentator, I dare say that this may not even be the limit of this player." Commentator Sasaki also said, "'Card Cannon' has another effect. When it is destroyed, the duelist holding it can draw a card from the deck.

The Mechanical monster that receives the effect of "Restriction Release" will then self-destruct, which means that Player You Xuan can draw three more cards in one breath because of the Card Gunner's self-destruction.

On the other hand, Ryuzaki's front and back fields are completely empty, because he had to skip two card drawing phases to activate "Reckless Greed" in the last round. So."

He didn't say anything else, but his meaning was clear.

In other words, even if Ryuzaki could have one more trick to defend against the Card Gunner's general attack this round, his chances of winning would be slim.

Not to mention that there are two mecha fortresses in You Xuan's cemetery. As long as he has mechanical resources, he can come back at any time.

At this point the gap between the two sides was already too big.

Ryuzaki: “.”

"Young people are really formidable." Commentator Xiao Du couldn't help but admire this newcomer even more. "But no matter what, let's congratulate You Xuan for winning the championship."

He had a premonition.

This probably won't be the last time he sees this player on the court.

Or perhaps it should be said that for You Xuan, this may just be the beginning.

“I really won.”

Sato Koji, a senior fellow in the dojo who had already sat in the audience seat, watched this unfold and blinked twice in confusion. Then he pinched himself hard.

Hiss~ It really hurts.

Not a dream.

Junior brother actually defeated the legendary duelist.
Suddenly, all the anger and depression he had felt when he was bullied by his junior brother and had no way to play the cards were swept away, and was replaced by a sense of pride.

I was beaten by such an awesome junior brother!
His back straightened up a little.

When You Xuan won the championship, the Duel Gym was celebrating. When the apprentices thought that this event would undoubtedly be on the headlines of the Duelist Times tomorrow, they all felt proud. They would feel proud to mention the name of their own gym when they went out. And who was the most excited? It must be the gym owner.

When the champion was announced, Takeuchi rolled his eyes and leaned back, almost fainting.
But when his disciples hurriedly helped him up, he immediately waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, just a little too excited.

Afterwards, when the excited apprentices were not paying attention, Master Takeuchi stood up and walked to the back of the gym. He stretched out his hand and lightly tapped a seemingly ordinary wall.

It seemed like a random movement, but there was a special pattern hidden in the fingertips. After a moment, the wall seemed to come alive, shaking slightly, and then slowly cracked from the center, opening a secret door.

No one in the entire gym knew about the existence of this door except him.

He walked into the tunnel, and the secret door closed automatically behind him. At the end of the tunnel, the only light was concentrated at a point in the middle.

A transparent display case containing a card.

The owner muttered to himself.

"Is the person who can inherit it finally going to appear?"

"You are truly a champion! You even managed to take down a big demon like Ryuuzaki. You are so awesome, Junior Brother!"

When they left the venue, Senior Brother Sato Koji had become a completely different person. He enthusiastically came up to him and offered to carry his luggage.

"Hey, Junior Brother, why are you still carrying it by yourself? Let me do it."

You Xuan tried to decline, but his senior brother was too enthusiastic.

"Oh, I heard someone say that there is no order of learning, so why don't you be the senior brother from today on, and I will be the junior brother."

You Xuan: “.”

"Your mentality is really strong. How come you don't seem to have any reaction after winning the championship?" Sato Koji couldn't help but say, "If it were me, I would definitely be completely blown away by now."

In fact, You Xuan was certainly not unhappy, it was just that he had foreseen this result from the beginning, so he was not too surprised.

Compared to this, he actually cares more about when the prize money for the tournament will arrive.

The more he understood this world, the more he felt that in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, money is by no means everything, but being without money is absolutely impossible.

Not to mention warriors with rich abilities like Kaiba Manjome, the protagonist of the first generation, Yugi, comes from a family that sells cards, and the second generation, Yuki Judai, seems to be a rich second generation as well.

The third generation Crab Brother was born in the slums, but he is a heavyweight boss who picks up garbage and makes a perpetual motion machine. Not only did he pick up a top-level deck from picking up garbage, but he also has a Red Dragon brand printing machine card that can print cards by himself.
Even the protagonists of the animation will have their card decks constantly transformed and supplemented with new cards as the plot progresses.

So playing cards is really a bottomless pit. Except for some big guys who have the talent for printing cards, ordinary people can only spend money.

It also once again highlights that Duel Academy, with Kaiba's strong sponsorship, is a great place.

"."

The two left the venue one after the other.

In the darkness, a figure in a black robe was standing in the corner, looking at You Xuan's receding back from afar.

The corner of his mouth twitched under the black hood, forming a dangerous arc.

Immediately afterwards, a green light flashed under the hood, and the pair of eyes in the darkness seemed to briefly flash a green light, burning in the pupils like a will-o'-the-wisp.
