Chapter 4: Duelists are forbidden to fight

A true duelist should be able to remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis. He should remain composed no matter what situation he is facing. He should never let impulse get the upper hand and affect his rational judgment.

Sato Koji was closing his eyes, taking deep breaths, and repeatedly trying to remind himself of this -

——Hitting someone is against the rules.

Because it's kind of hard to remember that with this cub in front of you.

With two cards left in his hand, he could do nothing but grit his teeth and announce the end of the round. Then it was Yugen's turn again, and happy time began again.

"Draw a card." You Xuan drew a card from the deck.

At this time, Sato Koji's front and back courts were clean, just like a little girl who was tempting people to commit crimes. In this era when Yu-Gi-Oh has not been poisoned by the rampant hand traps, an empty court is basically the same as running naked, which is a situation where people can do it without any psychological burden.

So You Xuan didn't say much and directly took the monster card he had just received.

"Summon 'Leader Zarug' in attack mode!"

The one-eyed warrior with a haggard face came to You Xuan's front court, with one of his eyes covered with an eyepatch.

[Leader Zarug, attack power 1400]

"Fight directly." You Xuan ordered, "Use the leader, Zarug, to attack the players directly."

The soldier received the order, took out two revolvers, and opened fire in the form of Yan Shuangying. A string of projected bullets pierced through Haoji's body, and the invisible impact made him stagger and retreat half a step.

In the duel system newly developed by Haiba, the monsters summoned by the duel disk are not only three-dimensional projections, but also equipped with a somatosensory impact device. Although it will not cause real damage to the duelists, it is enough to simulate realistic impact and certain pain stimulation to enhance the immersive experience of the duel.

【Koji, LP 4000→LP 2600】

He took the direct damage to his face and took a deep breath.

Fortunately, it was just a small fish with an attack power of 1400, and he could still withstand it.
But then Yugen smiled and said, "The effect of 'Chief Zarug' is activated. When this card inflicts battle damage to the opponent, I can choose one of the two effects to activate.

First, the opponent discards a random card in his hand.

Second, the top two cards of your opponent's deck are sent to the Graveyard."

Koji's eyelids twitched suddenly.

"Wait, do you want to..."

His face began to distort, his expression gradually became terrified, and his body retreated uncontrollably driven by instinct.

"That's right, I choose an effect to activate." You Xuan said, "Eradicate another card in your hand."

As he finished speaking, Zalug had already raised his revolver. With a bang, a hole appeared on one of Koji's remaining two cards.

Koji gritted his teeth and sent another card into the cemetery, his eyes bloodshot.

Now he only has one card left.
This was not the only card game he had lost in his life, and the opponent was not the strongest one among all the opponents he had ever encountered.

But this is definitely the card he wants to play the most.
Can you believe that I haven't taken a single card in the game so far?

"Add two more cards to the field, and the turn ends."

You Xuan had two more blocks in the backcourt.

This time, when Koji saw the two extra abyss-like cover cards, his attitude was completely different from his previous contemptuous attitude, and his breathing almost stagnated.

Still coming? No?
Please let me play a card.
What happened at this point was clearly beyond the expectations of the onlookers. The students on both sides looked at each other, all with expressions of being at a loss.

How about this duel?

It just feels weird. Very weird.

Want to see a fast-paced game of offense, defense and power? No, there are only evil people who are ready to mess with people's mentality.

Want to see high-speed summons and gorgeous monsters? No, there are only the underworld people who are satisfied with their work.

Anyway, up to now, one of the parties has not been able to drop a single card, so there is no strategy to analyze and evaluate. And the party that played the card, every step of the operation of each card, its thinking seems to be vaguely permeated by two words -

——Newspaper.

That is, revenge on society.

He didn't summon any monsters and didn't hit the opponent's health at all. The whole operation seemed to be silently declaring: I may not win, but you definitely can't think of playing Yu-Gi-Oh today.

Isn't this revenge on society?

"Brother, it is wrong for you to duel like this."

Koji tried hard to maintain the image of a gentle senior, but his twitching facial muscles and trembling voice seemed to be unable to hold back.

You Xuan smiled without saying anything, and politely made a "please" gesture, indicating that it was his turn to play Yu-Gi-Oh again.

That being said, all card players know that Yu-Gi-Oh is a very cruel game, and it only takes one side on both sides to play well enough.

Koji then reluctantly raised the duel disk again.

"Then it's my turn."

He gritted his teeth.

There is only one card left in my hand, and it is an equipment magic card. It is obviously useless since I can't even summon a monster.

This is the card draw that determines your fate.

But a true duelist will never back down. Just like the legendary duelist king Yugi Muto said, believe in your deck, and the deck will definitely respond to you. He believes in the bond between himself and his deck!
Koji Sato placed his fingers on the deck, took a deep breath and recited silently in his mind.

Autumn pear paste! Here comes a four-star monster!
What followed was a card draw that seemed to be infused with soul, drawing a handsome arc.

The moment he opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of the card, Sato Koji's pupils trembled and he almost laughed out loud.

coming!

Not only did he draw a monster that could be summoned, but it was also a "Magic Lizard Yihao", a four-star monster with an attack power of 1850. It was just 1800 points higher than the 50 attack power of the popular high-quality fighters on the market, which was just right, like a taunt, and was the strongest low-level monster in his deck.

Sure enough, the deck responded to his wishes!

However, just as Koji's mouth curled up, as if the counterattack was about to begin.

When he looked up and saw a covered vok card that had been opened in the opponent's backcourt at some point, his smile froze instantly.

Trap Card - Shoot down Unit 2.

Activate this card during your opponent's draw phase, and throw the card your opponent draws directly into the Graveyard.

Koji Sato: “.”

"Depending on the effect of knocking it down," You Xuan said politely, "Please throw away that card as well."

Koji's lips were almost bitten to the point of bleeding. With a ferocious expression, he threw the key to the comeback "Magic Lizard Yihao" into the graveyard, and when he looked down, he only had the lonely equipment magic card in his hand.
"Round. Round ends." Koji declared depressedly.

"Then it's my turn again, draw a card."

You Xuan glanced at the card he drew, it was another trap.

The red pits in his hand were overflowing, but the opponent obviously had no more cards to pit. So he added this card to his hand and waved his hand casually: "Leader Zarug, attack directly."

【Koji, LP 2600→LP 1200】

"Zarug's effect is activated again. Of course, it's still one effect."

You Xuan pointed to the last card in his hand.

"Throw that one away, too."

Sato Koji watched as his last card in his hand also went into the graveyard, and suddenly thought that he should have put this card on the field in the last round. Although it didn't make much sense, at least he could have kept this card.
I was so upset that I completely forgot about it.

Although it seems to have no impact on the situation.

"End of round."

"Then I draw a card during my turn."

This time, Koji drew a card, but he didn't even look at what he drew. Instead, he stared straight at Youxuan's backcourt.

It's like asking, is there any pitfall?

So I drew the card? Really?

You Xuan smiled and gestured for him to pass.

After finally getting through the card drawing stage with difficulty and entering the preparation stage for this round, Koji Sato almost cried.

Before, he might never have imagined in his dreams that drawing cards could be such a luxurious happiness.

When he saw the card he had drawn, he was even more cheerful.

Murder Doll of Resentment, four stars, attack power 1600.

Normally, it was just an ordinary monster, but its 1600 attack power could save lives at this moment. Because although the leader Zarug had a disgusting effect, his attack power was only 1400.

Finally, he managed to defeat the sword tomb thing on the opponent's side that made him lose cards in his hand every turn!
Koji Sato couldn't wait: "I summon the 'Murderous Doll of Resentment' to attack 'Leader Zarug'! Beat him to death, die."

"Don't get excited, don't get excited buddy, calm down, a duel should be played with a smile."

You Xuan reminded with a smile.

"And don't worry, it's not the battle phase yet. I activated a trap card just now."

He pointed to a cover card standing up in the backfield.

"Trap Card - Forced Escape Device. Forces a monster on the field to return to the owner's hand.

I will return 'Murderous Doll of Resentment' to your hand."

The trap worked, and the cursed puppet holding the axe turned into a golden light and flew back to Sato Koji before it could even stand firmly.

Koji Sato: “.”

This is his only card.

And he just used up his only Normal Summoning opportunity this turn.

So obviously, he has no cards to play again.

It was obvious what was going to happen next. He couldn't do anything but end his turn, and then that damned Zarug would attack him again, throwing away his last card.
Oh no, he couldn't even wait until then, because his LP was only 1200, and he would be dead if he was hit again.

However, You Xuan ultimately failed to successfully reduce Sato Koji's LP to zero.

Because before the next round comes.
Because Sato Koji tried to directly attack the opponent during the duel but failed, he was hurriedly pulled back by the students watching from all sides, and was disqualified and declared the loser.
