Chapter 1294

A blonde girl skipped down the street, wearing a Duel Disk on her arm, her golden twin-tails swaying from side to side, humming a little tune.

"Darling has come to the US, I have to treat him well~" The girl showed a happy smile.

Her name is Rebecca Hopkins; she won the All-American Duel Championship at the age of just 12 and possesses top-tier computer skills capable of easily cracking Kaiba Corporation's firewalls. She is a super prodigy.

However, after meeting Yugi Wu Teng, Rebecca became deeply infatuated with Yugi and considered herself Yugi's girlfriend. Whenever she saw Yugi, she would hug him intimately and enthusiastically, calling Yugi "Darling."

Rebecca also clearly knew about the second soul inside Yugi. She could distinguish well between the two Yugis, and she knew clearly that her Darling was the seemingly weak surface personality.

What Rebecca liked was the usual, real Yugi Wu Teng, not the cool substitute player who only came online temporarily during duels.

At this moment, a person's voice sounded from behind: "You, do you seem to be very familiar with Yugi Wu Teng?"

Rebecca turned around and looked suspiciously at the strangely dressed man behind her.

Strange attire, and he was wearing a cape, looking like he was cosplaying some anime character. The man wore a strange model of Duel Disk on his arm that she had never seen before, but it was still enough to judge that this person was a duelist.

So Rebecca showed a sly smile: "Ah, are you trying to get Darling's autograph through me? After all, Darling is a celebrity, and there are quite a few people like you. It's really a headache."

The girl put her hands on her hips and said with a smile: "But, it's a pity, the King of Games' autograph isn't that easy to get..."

"It doesn't matter. My name is Victor Lei Kesi," the man sneered, flicked his cape, raised his Duel Disk, and said, "My target is you, Rebecca Hopkins. Or rather, using you to get close to Yugi Wu Teng will make the success rate of the plan much higher."

"What?"

Rebecca also realized that the atmosphere was wrong, restrained her smile, and stared at this man named Victor for two seconds.

"Although I don't quite understand, one thing is certain: you want to do something bad to Darling, right?" the girl asked.

Victor activated his Duel Disk without answering.

"Heh, although I don't know what your goal is, to actually challenge me, the All-American Champion..." Rebecca's Duel Disk also activated, and she drew five cards, "If you think you can bully me just because I'm young, you're very wrong!"

"Duel!" x2

【Rebecca, LP4000】

【Victor, LP4000】

"I'll go first, draw!"

Rebecca took the first turn.

"Drawing a rare card right off the bat, it's your bad luck," Rebecca smiled. "Then let me summon it immediately!

Sapphire Dragon in attack position!"

A clear, transparent blue gemstone floated on Rebecca's field. The gemstone radiated brilliance, then shattered with a clattering sound, transforming from its gemstone form into a giant dragon form, but its entire body was still covered in dazzling blue gemstones, reflecting crystalline light.

【Sapphire Dragon, ATK 1900】

Rebecca: "Turn end."

Victor squinted his eyes to examine this dragon for a moment, then let out a low, cold laugh.

"Heh heh... heh heh heh... ha ha ha ha—"

The cold laugh began to turn into an arrogant laugh toward the sky, as if the surging emotions could not be suppressed.

Rebecca frowned: "What's so funny?"

"S-sorry, I just feel like I haven't seen such a pure duel in a long time. Can you imagine?" Victor laughed. "That feeling is like seeing uncivilized natives waving primitive wooden sticks and showing off." There was only one Normal Monster with no special abilities left on the field; for this era, that's probably a very common thing.

By the way, this girl seems to have said she was some kind of All-American Champion, 1900 ATK for a Level 4 monster; for this era, that's probably considered quite strong.

Victor's mouth twitched, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Then I will give you this opportunity to show me your abilities as much as possible, primitive person... My turn, draw."

He drew a card, glanced at it casually, and waved his hand to set it.

"Set one card, turn end."

"What?"

Rebecca felt puzzled.

Only a set card, ending the turn without even summoning a monster? A hand accident?

No, judging from this person's confident performance, it doesn't seem like it.

In that case, judging from the current situation, the opponent must be pinning all their defenses on that set card in the back row. Maybe it's a powerful card like "Sakuretsu Armor" or "Mirror Force."

Rebecca took a deep breath and smiled: "If you think a trap can stop me, you're underestimating me too much!"

Victor let out a strange sound with a fake smile: "Is that so? Then feel free to try."

"My turn, draw!" Rebecca said. "I offer 'Sapphire Dragon' as an Offering to summon this Level 6 card..."

She took the Sapphire Dragon off her Duel Disk and placed the new monster card in that monster zone instead. A stream of colorful data rolled over her old-fashioned Duel Disk, extracting data to form a projected image that appeared on the field.

Emerald luster, shattering with a clatter like glass. Amidst countless fragments, the giant dragon flapped its wings, its beautiful body reflecting the light of the jade.

【Emerald Dragon, ATK 2400】

"Ho... another rare card?"

Victor showed a more interested smile, but by comparison, that smile looked like he was watching monkeys at a circus.

"Your arrogance ends here," Rebecca said confidently. "You were so confident when you clearly had no monsters; your confidence mostly comes from that set card in the back row, right?

Then now I will shatter the source of your confidence!"

Rebecca said, taking out another card from her hand: "Activate the Spell Card 'Harpie's Feather Duster'!

This card can destroy all Spell and Trap cards on the opponent's field!"

A pair of pure white wings, a transparent storm whipped up, as if to overturn the entire field. The only set card on Victor's bare field was immediately flipped over and torn to pieces in mid-air.

"Ha ha ha ha—"

The only back row was torn apart, but Victor let out an even more arrogant laugh.

"The thinking of a primitive monkey is indeed too easy to see through. Because I only had this set card on the field, you judged it to be my only line of defense and destroyed it... It's simply laughable."

As he spoke, he raised his hand.

"The card you just destroyed, see for yourself what it is.

Trap Card 'Coffin of Curse'!

When this set card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, the opponent must choose one of two effects to apply.

Randomly discard one card from your hand, or you must destroy one monster on your field!"
