Chapter 1159: The Samurai Strikes
Akira: "..."
Yes, an intruder in the Security Bureau is indeed a serious situation.
But at this moment, the young girl couldn't help but feel a bit deflated.
To be honest, most of Akira's life had been spent as a reclusive young girl. She rarely opened up to anyone, and even with the few people she trusted, she seldom shared her inner thoughts.
Today, she had mustered the courage to speak from her heart, and just as the atmosphere was reaching its peak, the person suddenly told her to stop, claiming there was an intruder.
Akira felt a bit down, but if there really was an intruder, it was an emergency, and she couldn't argue with that.
She couldn't help but wonder if the person had been distracted from the start and hadn't really been listening to her at all.
Youxuan, however, didn't pay any attention to her thoughts and turned to walk down the building.
There was indeed an intruder, and it wasn't just a made-up excuse. He had genuinely sensed someone breaking into the Security Bureau.
But it wasn't some particularly significant figure.
At this moment, the Security Bureau was his territory, and he could sense when someone with ill intentions entered. He also felt that the intruder's strength was average, or more precisely, their extraordinary power was mediocre.
It wasn't a powerful Duelist with strong Darkness abilities; it might just be someone with good combat skills or special abilities.
But this made Youxuan even more impressed.
To break into the Security Bureau without using any extraordinary abilities must mean the intruder was quite skilled in both combat and hacking.
"Interesting."
Youxuan was intrigued and wanted to see who this daring person was, daring enough to invade his domain.
At that moment, the intruder, a sturdy man in a black suit, was crouching and moving through the complex underground pipe system of the Security Bureau.
A voice suddenly rang out above him: "Since you're in the Security Bureau, why not come up and sit down for a proper chat? What are you doing sneaking around down here?"
The man was startled and instinctively took a couple of steps back, looking up.
He saw Chief Godwin, the white-haired chief, standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly floating in mid-air, looking down at him with a smile.
"Godwin? How... how did you...?"
He was genuinely surprised. He believed his infiltration had been successful, without triggering any alarms. He thought he had entered undetected.
How could he have been noticed?
Youxuan met his gaze and seemed to recognize him, frowning. "Are you Gokuchi? The servant of Sherry Leblanc?"
This question left the man even more astonished, almost speechless.
How did this person know about his mistress?
Seeing his reaction, Youxuan knew he had guessed correctly.
Sherry Leblanc, a female character who appeared in the later stages of 5D's, was a tall, blonde, blue-eyed woman with exceptional skills.
She was born into a wealthy family, but her father discovered the Daiichi Organization's secret of altering history and was silenced, leading to her family's downfall.
After her parents were killed, Sherry was saved by her loyal servant, Gokuchi, and they wandered together.
As she grew up, Sherry developed extraordinary abilities, with combat skills on par with a special forces member, exceptional hacking skills that allowed her to infiltrate the Security Bureau, and, most importantly, a remarkable card-playing ability that almost matched Youxuan's during their first encounter, ending in a draw.
Her sole goal in life was revenge. She aimed to investigate the organization that destroyed her family, find the person who killed her father, and exact her revenge.
"Of all places, you come to the Security Bureau. I see, so you think there are clues about Daiichi here?" Youxuan murmured.
Not only did this person know their identities, but they had also seen through their intentions. Gokuchi was even more alarmed, feeling a deep sense of unease.
Youxuan continued, "You're just a servant. Since you're here, I assume Sherry has also come. Interesting, I haven't detected anyone else entering yet.
But since you're a traditional servant who upholds the spirit of the samurai, I doubt you'd tell me where your master is, even if I asked. In that case, let's do this."
With that, Youxuan slowly put on his Duel Disk.
Gokuchi spoke in a deep voice, "A Duel, then?"
"Yes, let's settle this the Duelist's way", Youxuan replied. "I remember you're a Duelist too. Your pride won't allow you to refuse this challenge, will it?
If you win, I'll let you leave as if you were never here. What do you say?"
Gokuchi considered his options.
Indeed, his pride as a Duelist wouldn't let him back down. More importantly, this could buy time for Miss Sherry.
"Fine!"
Gokuchi stepped forward, his voice firm.
"Let me see how the head of the Security Bureau fares in a Duel."
"Duel!" they both declared.
Youxuan, LP: 4000
Gokuchi, LP: 4000
"I'll go first, Draw!"
Gokuchi took the first turn.
He didn't know much about Chief Godwin and hadn't heard of any remarkable victories. But as a Duelist, Gokuchi could sense a strong aura from his opponent, instinctively knowing that this wasn't going to be an easy match. He prepared himself with utmost caution.
"I summon 'Top-Head Samurai' in Attack Position!" (Original card)
In the Vortex of starlight, a samurai with a black armor and a long katana appeared, slicing through the light. The blade glinted as he landed, his presence commanding.
Top-Head Samurai, Attack: 1200
"When 'Top-Head Samurai' is summoned, I can Special Summon one Level 3 or lower Warrior-type monster from my hand.
I Special Summon 'Heel-Strike Samurai'!" (Original card)
Gokuchi played another monster card, and a samurai in red armor appeared, slamming his large blade into the ground, sparks flying.
Heel-Strike Samurai, Attack: 0
Another card from the anime. With 0 Attack, its effect negates all battle damage to the player when it's on the field.
"Level 3, Tuner monster 'Heel-Strike Samurai'!
Level 4, 'Top-Head Samurai'!
Synchro Summon!"
3 + 4 = 7
"At the intersection of two blades, the blade of loyalty appears, serving me!
Synchro Summon! Appear—
—Unyielding War Samurai!!!"
The Synchro aura was cleaved apart, and a green-armored samurai with long silver hair appeared, wielding dual long swords, gracefully landing on the transparent Vortex.
Unyielding War Samurai, Attack: 2400
Youxuan: "Summoning your ace right away? Is this the resolve of a master and servant?"
"The resolve of a samurai goes beyond this. You'll experience it firsthand soon!"
Gokuchi said grimly.
"I set two cards and end my turn."
