Chapter 187: Duel to Verify Heart of the Cards

Small shop, late at night.

"Draw card!"

Judai drew one from the remaining two cards in Marufuji Sho's hand.

Heart of A.

Marufuji Sho had one JOKER left in his hand.

"Won again." Judai lay back in his chair, satisfied.

Marufuji Sho sighed: "Sigh, as expected of Big Brother, no matter what cards you draw, you're invincible. Big Brother playing Old Maid is really cheat-level strong..."

Judai turned his head to look at Fujiki You Xuan, who was concentrating on writing a report at the computer behind him: "Speaking of which, Fujiki You Xuan, how about you help out? It's super fun."

"I'll pass." Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "The theory report is still a bit short."

The Slifer Red trio immediately looked like deflated balls.

"Damn it, there's still a report..." Judai scratched his head.

Marufuji Sho: "Big Brother, how about we go back and finish the report..."

"That won't do." Judai shook his head repeatedly, "How can we let the hateful bread thief go?"

"No, it's just bread, I think the report is more important..."

Judai's attitude was firm: "Anyway, it's not due until the day after tomorrow, it's not too late to start writing tomorrow."

Marufuji Sho sighed: "Big Brother, you always say that..."

Judai then looked strangely at Asuka, who was also sitting in the back reading a book: "Speaking of which, why are you here? You also can't forgive that bread thief?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I just happened to have time." Asuka said.

Fujiki You Xuan glanced at her and didn't say anything.

Aunt Tomei appeared with a tray of rice balls: "Everyone worked hard, come and eat dinner."

"Oh oh, rice balls made by Aunt Tomei!" Judai was excited.

Aunt Tomei smiled: "There are three fillings: plum, bean, and salmon. But they all look the same from the outside..."

"I get it, drawing rice balls, right. Okay, watch me draw a salmon one!"

Judai rubbed his hands.

"My turn, draw rice ball!"

He drew one without hesitation, took a bite, and then revealed the filling with satisfaction: "Salmon Summon successful."

Marufuji Sho exclaimed: "As always, the powerful God's Right Hand, Big Brother..."

Judai was very satisfied with maintaining his state, smiling at Fujiki You Xuan: "How about it, do you want me to help you draw a salmon one too?"

"Thanks, but no need."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and stepped forward to pick one at random.

It was also salmon filling.

"Ha, you're not bad either." Judai patted his back, "As expected, powerful duelists have commonalities."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and didn't answer.

"..."

Late at night.

The shop had already closed and turned off the lights, and the surroundings fell into a silence, with only the occasional sound of insects and the wind. The shop's rolling shutter was tightly closed, like a fortress in sleep.

Until a slight movement broke the silence.

The heavy rolling shutter, under the reflection of the moonlight, initially trembled slightly, making a "creak creak" friction sound.

Following that, it was actually lifted bit by bit by brute force, creating a gap that one person could pass through.

A black human figure crouched outside the door, using the brute force of his arms to forcibly lift the heavy rolling shutter.

The group hiding in the dark saw this scene and were all shocked.

What kind of brute force is this?

Forcibly lifting a locked rolling shutter with arm strength, is this really a human?

Fujiki You Xuan also couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The anime saying that playing cards strengthens the body really didn't deceive me. Practicing playing cards can really train you into a superman. No wonder President Kaiba plays superhero landings from helicopters all day and is fine, as expected, it's all played out by playing cards...

"That's as far as you go!"

The lights turned on with a "pop," and Judai took the lead and jumped out.

Sure enough, standing in the middle of the shop was a muscular savage, with messy long hair, a strong and dark upper body, looking just like Tarzan.

The savage was startled, hurriedly turned around and ran, and rushed out along the way. The group hiding in the dark also appeared one after another and chased out.

However, the scene after chasing out was even more jaw-dropping.

Only to see the savage rush out of the door, leap like a jump, fly to grab a vine and swing toward the forest. When he swung to the peak, he suddenly let go, leaped, climbed onto a thick branch with both arms, did a nimble empty flip, and flew forward again, grabbing another thick vine with both hands, swinging further and further.

Marufuji Sho was dumbfounded.

"What is this? Tarzan?"

This physical fitness, this exaggerated movement, is this really something a human can do?

"Kuriboh Kuriboh!"

Winged Kuriboh floated out.

"Hmm, I know, partner." Judai nodded, "Let's go, we'll take a shortcut."

Since the person had appeared, once targeted by a fairy, it would naturally be difficult to get rid of the tracking. No matter how strong this savage was, it was impossible to run forever.

So after a series of swings in the forest, the savage jumped off the tree and panted for a while. He hadn't rested for long before he heard human voices coming from the bushes beside him.

Judai and the others soon chased out.

The savage was startled and was about to run again, but heard Aunt Tomei call him: "Ooyama? Is that you?"

The savage stopped.

"It really is you." Aunt Tomei was surprised.

Judai was puzzled: "You know each other?"

"Ooyama Taira, previously a student of Obelisk Blue." Aunt Tomei said, "Disappeared suddenly a year ago, didn't expect to be here..."

Asuka immediately paid attention.

Sure enough, she felt that this incident might have something to do with the Academy's missing persons.

Then would this person have anything to do with her missing brother...

"Not missing, but practicing." Ooyama said in a low voice, "Compared to a year ago, I have transformed.

The past me, although I was the first in the written test of Obelisk Blue every time, but whenever it came to actual combat, I could never draw the cards I wanted... No, even worse than that!

The more critical the duel, the stronger the opponent, the more I drew cards that were completely opposite to the current situation!"

He seemed to have fallen into unbearable memories.

"The turning point was a year ago, that crucial actual combat assessment. The opponent summoned Jinzo in the first turn, and as a result, I... I actually drew five Trap cards in my opening hand!"

Everyone: "..."

That was really unfortunate enough.

Fujiki You Xuan also seemed to be able to understand a little.

Indeed, always having hand accidents will drive people crazy.

And in this world, hand accidents are not just probability, but also metaphysics. In the words of the Academy course, it's that Ooyama's "momentum" is too weak.

Whenever he encounters a slightly capable opponent, his momentum is suppressed by the opponent, and naturally, he often has hand accidents.

"Later, one day I realized that the truth of card drawing is hidden in nature! So for this year, I lived in seclusion in the deep mountains to practice, and now I have finally succeeded!"

"Is that really so?" Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"What?" Ooyama frowned.

"Although you drew the golden egg bread for a week in a row, but always going to draw before the activity starts, what can that prove? You have no competitors at all, right?"

Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"Drawing it away before others have time to act, isn't that a single-player game? Dueling is not a one-person game, so how can that prove you are stronger than others?"

"What?"

Ooyama said in a low voice.

"Are you questioning the results of my practice?"

"I wouldn't dare, I'm just saying your verification method might not be very scientific."

"Then according to you, what should it be?"

"If you ask me? Only practice can verify the truth, and only dueling can verify practice."

Fujiki You Xuan lifted his Duel Disk and smiled.

"How about it, want to try?"

"Whoa? Interesting." Ooyama hummed, "What you said makes sense. Indeed, everything is for winning the duel. If you can't improve in actual combat, then this year's practice is meaningless.

Okay, then I accept."

"Duel!" x2

Judai opened his mouth on the side, wanting to say something, but only then realized in surprise that he had missed the best timing.

Ah this, what Fujiki You Xuan said was clearly what he wanted to say in his heart.

How come it feels like another game of cards was snatched away...
