Chapter 193

Somewhere, unknown location.

The cold iron walls seemed to be solidified with endless darkness, devouring every ray of light trying to penetrate. The four walls and ceiling of the room were exceptionally dim under the cold light, and occasionally sharp corners flickered with cold light in the darkness.

Three pairs of cold eyes lit up in the darkness.

"It's about time," one of the shadows said.

The shadow next to him said in a low voice: "Instructions from Father to you, Alpha?"

The shadow called Alpha nodded: "In two days, the target is Duel Academy."

"Finally going to act." The third, taller shadow spoke, humming: "But the target is actually Duel Academy?

Tsk, it's rare for me to come out of the mountains, and the imaginary opponent is just some students, it's really boring."

The shadow next to him asked: "Then Gamma, what kind of opponent do you think can satisfy you?"

"Of course, the legendary Duel King, that hateful Yugi Muto..."

The other two immediately looked at him like he was an idiot.

But this tall human shadow called Gamma still held his head high: "The meaning of my existence is to challenge the pinnacle of duelists. If it's not a duel with the strongest, it's meaningless!

Hateful Yugi, I don't know where he is hiding now, sooner or later I will call him out to face me..."

The other two chose to ignore the big guy who was self-entertaining.

"Beta, this is the first task Father has directly entrusted to us," Alpha said in a low voice. "This operation is crucial. We have two targets, you should know, right?"

"Of course," the shadow named Beta nodded. "The data has been received."

But after a pause, he continued to ask suspiciously.

"I can understand the primary target. But the secondary target, that duelist named 'Fujiki You Xuan'... seems to be just a first-year student at Duel Academy?"

"Don't underestimate him just because he's a student. Since Father values him, it naturally means he has something extraordinary. We don't need to understand Father's motives, just follow them."

Alpha paused, then warned solemnly.

"In addition, if it is the secondary target, be careful. Data has shown that this person's dueling is quite unique. He is good at disturbing the opponent's mind, interfering with the opponent's brain, making the opponent unable to perform normally, and even behaving abnormally during the duel..."

The big guy Gamma on the side suddenly inserted into the conversation again: "Heh, it's just some small tricks. What kind of means to disturb the mind and interfere with the brain, such tricks are useless to me!"

The other two's eyes lit up, and they looked at him together: "Oh? Could it be that you have a clever plan for him?"

Gamma held his head high: "If I don't have a brain at all, how can he disturb it, how can he deal with it?"

The two: "..."

A brief silence.

It was like being speechless, expressing "what you said really makes sense" in a silent way.

Gamma argued: "Dueling only requires 99% strength and 1% thinking. As long as there is strength, no matter what kind of evil tricks, they can be directly crushed..."

The other two chose to ignore him again...

Beta: "I still don't understand, why does Father insist on sending this defective product out with us?"

Alpha: "Ahem, we don't need to understand Father's motives, he has his reasons for doing so..."

At this time, Gamma was already hugging his arms on the side and laughing "hahaha" in a long string.

"... Should be."

Alpha suddenly wasn't so confident.

The school festival is one of the most important activities in the first semester of the new school year at Duel Academy.

When You Xuan first heard this term, he was a little strange, instinctively feeling that it should also be an activity related to the theme of dueling culture. However, when he arrived at the scene today, he immediately realized that this should actually belong to a grand festival with food as the core.

The air was filled with the aroma of food, the smoke of barbecue and the sweetness of desserts intertwined. Colorful flags fluttered, ribbons swayed in the breeze, revealing a bit of festive joy.

From early in the morning, students in three-colored uniforms blocked the scene into a sea of people. In addition to food, the surrounding stalls were also filled with dazzling goods, such as handmade Dark Magician accessories, Q-version Dark Magician Girl pendants, exquisite Blue-Eyes White Dragon models...

You Xuan wandered in the festive crowd for a while and spotted an acquaintance in the crowd.

Misawa Daichi seemed to be educating some Yellow Dorm colleagues about something.

Walking closer, You Xuan also had some impression of the person opposite.

Seems to be called... Kagurazaka?

That's right, the Kagurazaka who stole Yugi's deck replica in the anime.

Misawa's evaluation of this person is that he is gifted, good at imitating other duelists' tactics and even personalities, and can use any deck he gets, which belongs to a unique talent.

You Xuan felt that it was indeed the case. Yugi's deck was so jammed, a bunch of messy systems put together, it looked like proof that only a very high-level powerhouse could control it. But Kagurazaka stole Yugi's deck and was able to play it decently, without seeing any jamming throughout the process, it was indeed gifted.

If you want to say what the shortcoming of this person is, it may be that he can never win...

Very magical. Although Kagurazaka said that he would not jam no matter what deck he took, it seems that it is only limited to the category of "not jamming." He took a powerful deck like Professor Chronos's Ancient Gear and could even lose. It's fine to lose to others, he even lost to Marufuji Sho, which is truly an unsolved mystery of the world...

"... So I said, Kagurazaka, even if I share my build with you, it makes no sense."

Misawa said with a headache.

"A duelist's deck is strong precisely because it is chosen and built with one's own heart. Your ability to imitate and learn is first-class, but you are tied up in actual combat. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

Misawa didn't seem to notice You Xuan nearby, and happened to be using him as an analogy.

"Look, for example, You Xuan, his strength is obvious to all. Although I am unwilling, he is indeed the number one in the Yellow Dorm, far stronger than me.

And his strength lies in the fact that he never walks the path others have walked, and can always open up a path that belongs to him. Even I am out of reach..."

You Xuan was silent.

Misawa actually evaluated himself like this, and he felt a bit ashamed in his heart. To be honest, those strange decks in the eyes of others, although they were all matched and built by himself, many ideas and points were actually the crystallization of the wisdom of countless predecessors.

So although outsiders feel that he is opening up hidden paths that no one knows about all day long, little do they know that every path he walks is a busy highway, which has been walked by others hundreds of times.

"I understand!"

Kagurazaka nodded vigorously.

"Sure enough, I felt that You Xuan's deck looked stronger and more distinctive by comparison. It turns out that Misawa also thinks so.

Okay, then I know how to go next, thank you Misawa for your guidance!"

Misawa: "No, actually what I want to say is..."

However, before he finished speaking, Kagurazaka had already turned and disappeared into the crowd.

Looking at that posture, it seems that he has no intention of participating in the school festival anymore, and went back to dig into the build and build the deck.

Misawa: "..."

It feels like there is another problem with understanding.

Forget it, forget it, let him go.
