Chapter 180: Even the Weirdo Has to Run When He Sees You

Duel Academy, Teaching Building.

Two Yellow Dorm students, one tall and one short, walked in the hallway. Just halfway through, they suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps coming from the opposite stairwell. A group of Obelisk Blue students came running over, and the two sides met head-on.

The Blue Dorm students stopped and frowned one after another.

The leader stepped forward and said coldly: "Students from the Slifer Yellow Dorm are actually walking in the middle of the hallway. Don't you know you should make way for us at a time like this?"

The tall Yellow Dorm student frowned and stepped forward as if wanting to say something. But his short companion tugged at his sleeve and whispered: "Don't."

The tall student immediately lowered his head and followed his companion to step aside, giving way.

"Hmph, that's more like it."

The Blue Dorm students received the treatment they deserved as elites and became even more arrogant, saying contemptuously: "People from the low-class dorms must learn to correct their attitude."

After saying this, they walked past with their heads held high.

The short Yellow Dorm student gritted his teeth, clenched his fists unconsciously, and looked at the direction they left with a bit more resentment in his eyes...

But he didn't expect that in less than a minute, that group of Blue Dorm students would return.

Following a series of rapid footsteps, they ran back from the front, shouting in panic.

"Damn it... actually ran into that guy from the Yellow Dorm! Can only take a detour..."

"Run faster in front! Otherwise, if you fall behind, you'll be caught for a duel!"

"..."

A group of people ran back along the original path in a hurry, brushing past the two students, one tall and one short.

Both Yellow Dorm students were dumbfounded.

They couldn't figure out what kind of indescribable existence these people, who clearly had the superiority of the upper class just a minute ago, had seen to be so panicked that they turned around and ran at light speed...

But immediately after, looking toward the end of the hallway, they soon understood.

It was the legend of their Yellow Dorm, "that person," who had arrived.

"..."

"Strange, I've always heard people say that everyone in the Blue Dorm is arrogant, and they can't wait to step on us Yellow Dorm students when they see us?"

Fujiki You Xuan pondered, cupping his chin.

"Why are they all so cowardly? It's not scientific, it's not what I heard..."

Misawa beside him wanted to say something but stopped.

Don't you have any idea in your heart why they are so cowardly?

But he finally didn't say anything.

"By the way, have you heard of that tennis club president, Ayanokoji?" Misawa said. "Rumor has it he has the strength to rival the Blue Dorm's Kaiser."

"Just rumors, right." Fujiki You Xuan said casually.

He only had a vague impression. It seemed he used some tennis deck, mainly focusing on burn damage, and there was also an anime-original special card for a rule-based victory.

His dueling was less like playing cards and more like playing tennis.

"Yeah, I heard that Judai Yuki dueled that president the day before yesterday and actually won. Some people said they saw President Ayanokoji crying and running on the edge of a cliff facing the sunset for an entire afternoon, shouting 'I hate dueling the most' or something..."

Fujiki You Xuan pondered.

Hmm, could it be that he was broken by Student Judai?

What an unlucky president.

At this time, the two noticed the two students in the hallway, one tall and one short.

"Oohara and Kohara?" Misawa immediately recognized them and stepped forward to greet them.

The tall one was named Oohara, and the short one was named Kohara; they were roommates in the same dorm.

Fujiki You Xuan also remembered. The "Rare Card Hunter" mentioned in the Academy's recent rumors, said to be a terrifying existence with an image like a giant spider monster—it seemed to be these two.

Oohara had aimed to engage in scientific research and card printing since he enrolled, so he wasn't good at dueling. Although Kohara's dueling level was evaluated by Misawa as first-class in the Yellow Dorm, his will was weak and he was relatively cowardly, making it easy for him to be overwhelmed by the opponent's "momentum" in a duel.

Therefore, it was difficult for him to exert his original level in actual combat, and he often made mistakes under pressure, letting opportunities slip away.

Because he was always looked down upon by the elites of the Blue Dorm on weekdays, Kohara harbored resentment, which led to the idea of the "Rare Card Hunter."

The masked Oohara would come forward to duel, while he himself hid in the dark, remotely controlling Oohara's card play through an earpiece, acting as a "back-spirit" type of duelist.

Because he didn't have to face the opponent directly, he could avoid being overwhelmed by the opponent's "momentum," and he could also avoid pressure to make correct card plays and decisions.

Up to now, the Blue Dorm students they had cornered had all lost their rare cards.

Kohara looked up, stared at Fujiki You Xuan for a moment, and suddenly sighed softly.

"Student Fujiki You Xuan... it's really great."

He shifted his gaze elsewhere and said as if talking to himself.

"Although you are in the Yellow Dorm like me, you can be so powerful. Even those arrogant Blue Dorm guys are terrified when they see you..."

Misawa opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but thought about it and closed it without saying anything.

He thought to himself, no, if I had to say it, "notorious" would be more appropriate.

Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"What are you talking about, you flatter me." He said, "Now that you mention it, you two are quite famous among the Blue Dorm students now, aren't you? They've been discussing you recently."

After a pause, Fujiki You Xuan lowered his voice and added.

"The Spider Giant who hunts for rare cards?"

Both were shocked.

"You... what are you talking about? I don't understand..."

Kohara hurriedly tugged at Oohara's sleeve.

"Oohara, let's go."

The two went far away.

Watching them disappear at the end of the hallway, Misawa couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that what you said is that... the one in the recent rumors who only appears at night and hunts for rare cards using forbidden gambling rules..."

"Yes."

"That's impossible." Misawa was puzzled. "Although Oohara is indeed unusually tall, fitting the description of a giant duelist, he specializes in card design and doesn't really know how to duel."

"And that giant duelist is said to have defeated many Blue Dorm students..."

"Well, who knows?"

Fujiki You Xuan smiled, continued walking forward, and didn't say anything more.

That night.

The night was as deep as thick ink, swallowing the noise of the day. The sparse starlight struggled to penetrate the thick cloud layer, casting mottled light and shadows between the treetops. The wind whistled through the towering ancient trees with wildness.

It was just a dark and windy night, perfect for getting things done.

A burly figure walked slowly out of the forest.

He was masked, his eyes hidden behind deep sunglasses, the lenses reflecting the faint starlight. He was draped in layer upon layer of Blue Dorm uniforms, the overlapping sleeves extending outward like spider legs, looking like a giant spider over two meters tall.

He walked silently, approaching tonight's prey bit by bit.

Under the moonlight, two students in Blue Dorm uniforms were alone.

However, just as he was getting closer and closer.

One of them suddenly turned around.

"Finally appeared, the mysterious giant duelist."

Fujiki You Xuan, wearing a Blue Dorm uniform, smiled and lifted his Duel Disk.

"Same old rules, card gambling, right? I understand. Shall we skip the foreplay and start directly?"

However, following that, he heard the spider giant let out a low, strange cry: "F*ck! It's him! It's that person!"

After saying this, he turned around and ran for his life.

Fujiki You Xuan: "..."

Misawa beside him said leisurely.

"See, I told you, even the weirdo has to run when he sees you."
