Chapter 63 The choice of the strong
A few days later, Keipi sent the list of rare cards that he had originally planned to send to Duel Academy as promised.
As expected by You Xuan, he immediately saw the "VWXYZ" series which occupied a prominent position. He naturally cut this series first without hesitation.
Because the reservations were originally made through the internal sales channels of the Duel Academy, the prices were definitely not seen in the outside world. In addition, You Xuan had not spent much of the bonus he received from the Seahorse Company, so his current budget was still quite sufficient.
Then he also took a fancy to the "Treasure Hammer" used by Manjome in the anime. The effect of the animation is that you can shuffle any number of cards including this card back into the deck, and then draw the same number of cards.
In the case of a hand accident, you can replace any card in your hand.
The actual card has been castrated to "shuffle and replace the cards in hand except this card", which immediately means losing a card, and its practicality is greatly reduced.
You Xuan thought about it, and according to the animation effect, it is not impossible to use cards that can be exchanged without losing cards. But in this animation environment dominated by fate, even deck search effects are not very popular, let alone this thing.
Besides, he has stockpiled a lot of limited edition animation cards, so normally he doesn't need the Maul.
But after looking at the price, the Mallet seems to be the cheapest in the entire card box, and although it is not needed in normal play, it seems to be useful if you want to play some specific acrobatics decks, so I still bought three of them.
Then he saw the key plot card "Evolution Wings". This is a rare card that can evolve Winged Kurikoma into LV10 by discarding two cards from your hand.
However, there is only one person in the entire Duel Academy who has a Winged Kurikoma, so this card is almost printed with the words "Exclusive for Jellyfish Head"
What Youxuan had in his hand was a chestnut ball, not a winged chestnut ball. This thing was completely useless, so he decided to give it to Judai-san.
However, after all this selection, it seems that there is nothing left for Wanzhang to achieve.
"Don't worry, we will get other rare cards as supplements before sending them to Duel Academy." Keipi said to him.
Well, You Xuan thought that once these good things fell into Wanzhangmu's hands, they might be soaked in water and scrapped, so in order to prevent waste he had to accept them.
There are only two days left until the Duel Academy starts.
The day before leaving for the island, he came to the gym for the last time to say goodbye to the owner and other students.
As a result, when I entered the room, I saw all the students kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered, while Master Takeuchi was standing in front of them, lecturing them with saliva flying all over the place.
You Xuan was curious, so he walked over and listened for a while, and seemed to roughly understand the whole story.
To put it simply, the gym owner is dissatisfied with the rampant evil in the gym nowadays, and the students have begun to take pleasure in taking revenge on society.
And that would have been fine. The students soon discovered that all the fellow students in the gym had turned into ghosts, but when ghosts collide with ghosts, happiness is discounted. So they began to turn their guns around and shifted their targets to the nearby duel arena.
Then, rumors of the Silent Gym began to spread in several arenas in the surrounding area. It was said that all the duelists in this gym were messengers of hell, and they took pleasure in dragging everyone they had fought to the underworld. It didn't matter whether they could win the game or not, the other side couldn't play the game anyway.
What's even more terrifying is that this trend is like a plague, and it shows signs of spreading further wherever these people go.
Master Takeuchi probably never dreamed that one day their silent style would really flourish, but not in the way he expected, but by "silencing the opponent through duels".
At this moment, You Xuan's deck for the Moonlight Cup has been thoroughly studied by the gym students. At this moment, everyone in the gym has filled their decks with Holy Defense Naraku Riptide and the three artifacts of hand destruction, and the only one that stands out is a copycat.
Of course, You Xuan had already thought that this would happen sooner or later. He was just a nobody now, and at best he won Ryugasaki in an amateur cup match, which might still be popular in the local area for a while, so only people around him would study his deck. But if he became as famous as Yugi Kaiba one day, his deck would definitely be studied by countless people. Some people would study to target him, and some would imitate him. It was inevitable. However, with the recent continuous duels and research, and the deepening understanding of the anime environment, You Xuan also began to understand that the decks used by duelists in this world are not just about the strength of the deck.
Just like in the early stage of GX, Kagurazaka, a student of La-Huang, stole Yugi's deck and played cards with Judai, but was beaten by Judai. Then Judai and Kaisar Ryo explained this theory in their own way.
According to Caesar, duelists must use a deck that they have put their own emotions into and put together, so that the deck will respond to the duelist's wishes and exert its strongest power. If you fight with someone else's deck, no matter how similar the tactics are, it is not your own and you will not win the duel.
You Xuan's understanding of this statement is that copying homework will reduce the duelist's own "destiny". Maybe the strength of the deck you copied is higher, but the chance of getting stuck increases and the chance of getting a good draw decreases, which may not necessarily improve your personal strength in the end.
Therefore, in many cases, playing cards in anime requires the pursuit of as much "soul" as possible, sometimes not only for the sake of being gorgeous and handsome, but also because if you don't have soul, you may also be at a disadvantage when fighting against masters.
So You Xuan actually had some related considerations in the past two days. The most ideal state should be to maintain the competitive thinking, use methods including but not limited to breaking the opponent's mentality to suppress, and at the same time find a way to play the advantages of the elves.
In other words, it is to find a balance between competition and soul.
But that refers to the situation where masters fight each other.
However, considering the level of his friends in the gym, he felt that there was nothing wrong in just copying homework and playing cards.
Anyway, from what he observed, the students' Destiny Power was just that level, and most of them had no talent and would probably have difficulty making any progress in their entire lives. However, changing to a stronger build could indeed visibly increase the chances of winning.
Look, these past two days, my brothers have copied their homework and gone to the arena to play cards, and their winning rate seems to be pretty good.
It just affects the reputation of the gym.
"We duelists should all trust our own decks!"
Master Takeuchi is reprimanding the students for their behavior.
"The deck you put together with your heart and soul is unique to everyone!"
Although he spoke with great righteousness, one student could not help but lean over and whisper.
"But Master, I saw you receive a 'Detention' card just the day before yesterday, and a 'Mischievous Twin Demons' card three days ago."
Master Takeuchi: “.”
He hesitated for a few seconds.
Then put your hands on your hips and hold your head high.
"I just happened to have the same opinion as Yugen-san! It's normal for powerful duelists to have similarities in their choice of cards."
Students: “.”
