Chapter 22 Elf
The treasure of the dojo and the symbol of the school.
To be honest, the first thing that came to You Xuan's mind after hearing this description was the phrase passed down by the card masters:
You should give up all mainstream and play my invincible Cyber ​​Dragon——

——That is, the Cyber ​​Dragon.

The Caesar of Duel Academy, Marufuji Ryo, was already the heir to the Cyber-Flow Gym before he entered the academy. According to Samejima, the Cyber-Flow teacher and later the principal of Duel Academy, Marufuji Ryo impressed the Cyber-Ender Dragon's spirit with his perseverance and won the opportunity to inherit the inheritance.

Well, but the so-called "touching the elves" in the animation means that Marufuji Ryo persisted in practicing the God Draw every day, and finally he mastered the 502 technique that allows him to always start with three Cyber ​​Dragons and one fusion no matter how he shuffled the cards.

According to Principal Samejima, it seems that mastering this amazing skill is the best.
Apart from this, the only other gym that appears in the animation is the later Telekinesis Gym, whose treasure representing the gym's heritage is the android Soga.

It turns out that our gym also has this kind of thing?

Countless rare cards of the same period flashed through You Xuan's mind quickly, and he imagined what kind of deck it would be.

".Originally, I wanted to promote my school, but I don't have the ability. After losing my master, the gym has been in decline. Recently, few people have even heard of the name of our school."

Master Takeuchi continued speaking, then took a deep breath and looked at You Xuan seriously.

"Until now, I have seen your transformation. I had almost given up, but now I think, maybe you are the one I have been waiting for.

Maybe you can inherit this almost lost name and make it great again."

"So you're talking about our school's card deck?" You Xuan probed carefully.

If it was a normal fantasy story where the master was about to drop gold coins, he would definitely be expecting it to be some kind of magic pill or some high-end magical weapon.

But now the first reaction that popped up in You Xuan's mind was, will your thing get stuck?
There was no way. Although the gym owner's eyes sparkled with confidence when he said this, You Xuan did not dare to be too optimistic. Because he knew clearly that the definition of a "powerful" deck by duelists in anime was different from that in reality.

You Xuan clearly realized that his card playing depended on construction and ideas. If the owner of the gym gave him an eight-star ordinary bone with high expectations, he really couldn't carry it.
Master Takeuchi smiled mysteriously: "Have you ever heard of the legendary LV series?"

When You Xuan heard this, his heart sank.

Bad.

The LV series means that the monsters will automatically upgrade as the number of turns they are on the field increases. Generally, there is a deck that has the ability to "special summon high-level LV monsters from the deck by sending monsters to the graveyard."

It was mentioned in the GX plot that the LV series are rare cards that ordinary duelists cannot buy at all, and they are all in short supply. For example, the "Armed Dragon LV" series that appeared in the animation was the treasure of the school given to the Duel Academy North Branch by the academy headquarters, and later passed to Manjome.

But that's the animation setting.

The reason why You Xuan felt depressed was that most of the LV series decks seemed to be useless in the real card environment.
"That's right! The 'Silent School' that our gym has inherited is derived from the fighting method pioneered by the Duel King Muto Yugi! And the card that is the pinnacle of our school and symbolizes inheritance is this one—"

The owner of the gym showed You Xuan the card that had been sealed for many years in a very ceremonial manner.

"——The True Silent Magician!"

"Ok?"

You Xuan raised his eyebrows, surprised.

[Silent Magician, Level 1000, Attack Power
Effect: This card cannot be Normal Summoned, but can be Special Summoned by sacrificing a Sorcerer-Type card on the field.

This card gains ATK equal to the number of cards in your hand x 500. Once per turn, you can negate the activation of a Spell Card.

When this card on the field is destroyed by battle or opponent's card effect, you can Special Summon a "Silent Magician" monster other than yourself from your hand or deck. 】

In the current environment, it is still a card with considerable strength, but You Xuan remembers that in reality this should be a new silent vest printed in the future, and its strength will naturally be more prominent in the early environment.

However, the Silence deck has existed since the DM era, and the development of classic trump cards used by legendary duelists like Kaiba has always been a focus in this world. In the movie version, Kaiba had already printed "Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon" several years ago, so it seems normal in comparison.

The moment he took the card from the owner, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

Just to his right, in the corner of the hall, there seemed to be a figure. As white as the first snow in winter, the fluttering robes were like clouds caressing the sky. The tall and elegant figure was wrapped in a wide robe, and the long hair was silvery white like snow, swaying softly and silently.

But when You Xuan turned his head suddenly, he saw that there was no one on that side.

There was only a shadow.

"What's wrong?" Master Takeuchi seemed to have noticed nothing and asked curiously. "Nothing." You Xuan pondered.

Is it Vision? Or
Master Takeuchi did not ask any more questions, but said to him solemnly: "Keep it well, this is not just a rare card. It is said that this is a card that can host spirits."

"Elves?"

You Xuan looked at the beautifully illustrated card, then looked at the direction of the vision.

But still nothing.

“.Maybe. I actually don’t know. Hahahaha”

Master Takeuchi scratched his head.

"I've only heard about it before, but never seen it with my own eyes. The previous teacher said that not everyone can see elves. Who knows? Just treat it as true, haha."

You Xuan looked at the card from top to bottom and couldn't really feel anything special about it. However, considering the special nature of this world, he also felt that it was better to believe in rumors.

If it is an elf card, then the nature is completely different.

For ordinary cards, he might only consider practicality and strength, and whether it would be a problem to bring something with unknown meaning. But the elves are different.

Assuming that you have not gone to Egypt to dig graves or discovered any artifacts during archaeological excavations, duel monster elves generally account for 80% of the source of supernatural powers in this world, and are the easiest way for ordinary duelists to reach the supernatural circle.

Like Judai Yuki in the anime, before he awakened the power of the overlord in the other dimension, he basically relied on elves whenever he encountered an extraordinary situation.

In the early stage, he had the Winged Kurikoku given by the game. He was the C of several dark duels and even when the opponent wanted to use the outer Yin move. In the middle stage, he even had Ultraman (Elemental Hero Xinyuxia), who could even fly out of the deck to fight against the villains and fly out of the atmosphere to help him blow up satellites and save the world.

Therefore, in this world, even if you don't talk about the practicality of Elf cards in duels, if you want to survive in this world where cheats are rampant and gods and demons are everywhere, you must bring Elf cards, even if they are useless pieces of the deck.

"The Duel Academy exams will be next week, right?"

Master Takeuchi changed the subject and walked to a table.

He picked up a small card box.

"I heard from some students that you asked them about a few cards before and said that you were willing to pay for them. Some cards are not easy to buy these days, but I have been in this business for so many years, and I still have some skills and friends, and I have my own channels."

He opened the card box and handed it to You Xuan.

"Although many of the things you asked about are not available, I have managed to get these before the exam. If they can be of help, you can use them first. If there are other things you want, you will have to find a way to purchase them through the college channel after you pass the exam."

He hadn't seen the other cards yet, but You Xuan discovered at a glance that the top card in the card box was exactly the "Android - Telekinesis Intimidator" that he had searched for at the beginning.

It is also commonly known as the artificial human Soga.

"Oh, this. Master, you actually went out of your way to look for these."

You Xuan took the card box and put it in his pocket.

".How embarrassing! This is inappropriate."

Master Takeuchi looked blankly.

If it doesn't fit, you can just take it out of your pocket.
"You don't think it's free, do you?" the owner said unhappily, "It's an investment. Remember, when you enter the academy and become successful, you have to pay it back at the market price.

Moreover."

The owner took a deep breath and said seriously.

"To be honest, no student in our gym has ever been admitted to the Duel Academy. But this time, there is no failure. Do you understand?"

"Okay." You Xuan agreed.

It’s just an exam, no big deal?
