Chapter 211: The Champion Collects All Achievement?
Chapter 211: The Champion Collects All Achievement?
Even the Duel King's deck lost to the guy from the Yellow Dormitory.
Within a day, the news spread throughout the entire school.
The duel, witnessed and recorded by the students present, was watched by almost everyone in just one day.
As the students learned from it and enjoyed the spectacle, many couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although Shinra had put up a decent fight with the Duel King's deck, he still couldn't land a single complete attack, let alone touch his opponent's life points by the end.
If even the Duel King's deck couldn't counter the dark deck, what hope was there for the future of the dueling world?
Not everyone was so pessimistic, though.
"Shinra's performance was remarkable, and it gave us all a glimpse of the might of the Duel King's deck," remarked Teira Tojo, a well-known emperor at the academy, during a chat. His comments were recorded and relayed by those present.
"But no matter how skillfully one uses a deck, it's ultimately not their own. A duelist can only unleash their full power with a deck built from their own heart, and the King's deck can only shine truly in Yugi Muto's hands."
This sentiment gained quite a bit of traction, even earning a thumbs-up from Professor Cronos, the academy's leader.
Of course, most students of this generation may not know that the owner of the deck Shinra used had actually failed to counter a dark deck many years ago.
After the duel, Shinra returned the deck and carefully reviewed the match, finally concluding that he had made two critical mistakes.
First, he shouldn't have discarded Nut during the first turn. When he activated "Five-Star Swordsman of Consecutive Flores" to discard a one-star monster from his deck, he chose Nut.
This led to him suffering repeated divine punishments from the Nut Drake God in the subsequent duel.
Second, he lacked mental fortitude. The mere possibility of obtaining the Duel King's deck caused him to waver from his original path.
It seemed that only by resolutely studying the dueling style of the guy from the Yellow Dormitory could one find the right path!
Upon reflection, Shinra felt that his imitation hadn't been thorough enough. In the past, he had only imitated tactics and inner skills, but that wasn't enough. He should have imitated his idol from the outside in, perfectly replicating everything from clothing and hairstyle to behavior.
Soon, a new rumor spread throughout the academy—the guy from the Yellow Dormitory had recently started using a body double.
As for Shinra returning the deck so quickly, Juzo wasn't too pleased about it.
There was a subtle feeling that his cards had been snatched away again.
However, the problem was quickly resolved. The next day, a transfer student arrived at the Red Dormitory, but Juzo soon discovered that it was a loli disguising herself as a boy, going by the name Hayao Rite.
When Rite begged him to keep her disguise a secret, Juzo's lips curved into a smile, his eyes glinting with a mischievous light.
"Rite, you wouldn't want anyone else to find out about your cross-dressing, would you?"
Rite's heart skipped a beat. "Then what do you want?"
"It's simple."
Juzo smiled confidently, pulling out a duel disk.
"I'm itching for a duel, and you're going to be my partner."
Rite: "..."
"..."
In any case, having found someone new to duel with, Juzo quickly forgot about Shinra and continued to enjoy his academy life.
That same week, during an assembly, the principal announced that a competition with a brother institution would be held soon.
"No, I think my brother should still be the representative this year," Shou Marufuji said confidently for some reason.
You Xuan remained silent. However, he knew that according to the original story, the Northern School would deliberately send a first-year student this year to avoid facing their ace, Kaizer Ryou, from the headquarters. They had also agreed that the headquarters must send a first-year student to compete.
So, in the end, it would likely come down to himself and Juudai vying for the spot.
And as expected, their opponent would most likely be Manjoume, who had returned to the school after a period of wandering.
The duel to determine the representative between Juudai and his classmate would probably take place within the next one or two weeks. The third week after that would be the official competition.
You Xuan had a premonition. From his last encounter with Manjoume, he could sense that Manjoume had made significant progress compared to when they first entered the school. After going out on a journey and returning, Manjoume was probably even stronger than before.
But You Xuan had also progressed rapidly during his time at the academy. He felt that he had achieved a breakthrough akin to a great realm in just half a semester.
The most noticeable change was his increasing boldness when it came to deck building. The thought of "Will this card brick my hand?" that naturally came to mind whenever he made adjustments occurred less and less frequently, replaced by the thought of "This card will be useful in this situation."
Not only had his personal strength as a duelist improved, but the expansion of his card collection had also brought about noticeable enhancements. These days, he not only kept up with the new releases from the academy branch of International Illusion but also made some excellent internal purchases from them.
For example, some of the rare cards used by Tenma during his duel with Tsukiyomi, such as "The Scholar Elf," which allowed him to draw a card when sent to the graveyard, and even the original version of Tsukiyomi's signature card, "Angel 07," were limited cards that could only be obtained from International Illusion.
He also managed to get his hands on a highly valuable rare card, the "Wind Emperor, Ryzza."
【Wind Emperor, Ryzza】: 6 Stars, 2400 ATK
Effect: When this card is successfully summoned, return one card on the field to the top of its owner's deck.
The Emperor series!
Even modern card players who had not experienced that era might have heard of the glory of the Emperor series in the past. After Yugi Muto's Chaos Deck won three consecutive championships in the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Tournament, the deck that ushered in the next new era for World Champions was the 【Emperor Control】 Deck, a build centered on the famous Emperor series.
And this series had also made appearances in the GX anime.
However, this particular deck seemed a bit rare, as the Wind Emperor was the first Emperor card that You Xuan had collected. But back in the day, even a single Emperor card was enough to build a strong specialized deck.
After obtaining the Wind Emperor, You Xuan also expanded his list of desired cards and quickly came up with several simple new deck-building ideas.
If he had the opportunity to collect the remaining Emperors, putting together an 【Emperor Control】 Deck would be a great idea.
However, starting from hand destruction with Chaos, then to Mutated Chaos Phoenix God, and now with the Emperor series, he seemed to be inadvertently collecting the decks of past World Champions?
