Chapter 4: Duelists are forbidden from hitting people

A true Duelist should have the calmness of Mount Taishan collapsing in front of them without changing their expression, and should remain calm regardless of the situation they are facing, avoiding letting impulse take the upper hand and affecting their rational judgment ability.

Koji Sato was closing his eyes, breathing deeply, repeatedly trying to warn himself of this point—

——Hitting people is a foul.

Because it was really difficult to remember this when facing this little bastard in front of him.

With only two cards left in hand and nothing he could do, Koji Sato could only grit his teeth and announce the end of the turn. Then it was Fujiki You Xuan's turn again, and the happy time started again.

"Draw card." Fujiki You Xuan drew a card from the deck.

At this time, Koji Sato's front and back rows were clean, simply like a little girl luring people into committing a crime. In this era where Yu-Gi-Oh! had not yet been ravaged by rampant hand traps, an empty field was basically equivalent to streaking, belonging to the situation where one could be pushed down and done without any psychological burden.

So Fujiki You Xuan didn't talk much nonsense and directly played the monster card he had just drawn.

"Summon 'Don Zaloog' in Attack Position!"

The weather-beaten one-eyed warrior came to Fujiki You Xuan's front field, with an eyepatch over one of his eyes.

【Don Zaloog, Attack Power 1400】

"Direct attack." Fujiki You Xuan ordered, "Use Don Zaloog to attack the player directly."

The warrior took the order, directly pulled out two revolvers, incarnated as Yan Shuangying, and fired "bang bang bang." A string of projected bullets pierced through Koji's body, and the invisible impact made him stagger back half a step.

In the Duel system newly developed by the Kaiba Corporation, the monsters summoned by the Duel Disk were not just 3D projections, but also came with somatosensory impact devices. Although it would not cause real damage to the Duelist, it was enough to simulate realistic impact and a certain degree of pain stimulation to improve the immersive experience of the duel.

【Koji, LP4000→LP2600】

Taking the face-to-face damage directly, he took a deep breath.

Fortunately, it was just a small fry with 1400 attack power, he could still hold on...

But then Fujiki You Xuan smiled: "The effect of 'Don Zaloog' activates. When this card deals battle damage to the opponent, I can choose one of two effects to activate."

"First, the opponent randomly discards one card from their hand."

"Second, the top two cards of the opponent's deck are sent to the graveyard."

Koji's eyelids jumped violently.

"Wait, don't tell me you... you..."

His face began to twist, his expression gradually became terrified, and his body couldn't even control itself and retreated under the instinctual drive.

"Not bad, I choose to activate the first effect." Fujiki You Xuan said, "Obliterate another card in your hand."

As the words fell, Zaloog had already raised his revolver. Only a "bang" gunshot was heard, and another projected hole appeared on one of Koji's last two cards.

Koji gritted his teeth, sent another card to the graveyard, his eyes splitting.

Now he only had one card left...

This was not the only card game he had ever lost in his life, and the opponent was not the most powerful one he had ever encountered.

But this was definitely the card game he most wanted to hit someone in.

Playing until now, damn it, not a single card had been played, can you believe it?

"Set two more cards on the field, turn end."

Fujiki You Xuan had two more set cards in his back row.

This time, when Koji saw those two abyss-like set cards again, it was completely different from his previous contemptuous attitude, and his breathing almost stagnated.

Still coming? Don't, right?

Please let me play a card...

The development up to this point was clearly beyond the expectations of the onlookers. The students on both sides also looked at each other, all with expressions of being completely confused.

How should this duel be described?

It felt very strange, very strange.

Want to see fast-paced offensive and defensive games and power struggles? No, there were only "underworld" people here preparing to mess with people's mentalities.

Want to see high-speed summoning and gorgeous big monsters? No, there were only "underworld" people here who were satisfied after messing with people's mentalities.

Anyway, up to now, one side hadn't been able to play a single card, so there was basically no tactic to analyze or evaluate. And the side that played cards, every step, every card, its logic seemed to be vaguely run through by two words—

——"Precious House."

That is, revenge on society.

This guy didn't summon a single monster, didn't hit the opponent's health at all, the entire operation behavior seemed to be silently declaring: I don't have to win, but you are absolutely not allowed to play Yu-Gi-Oh! today.

Isn't that revenge on society?

"Junior, dueling like this is wrong..."

Koji tried hard to maintain the image of a gentle senior, but the twitching facial muscles and trembling voice seemed to be unable to hold on anymore.

Fujiki You Xuan smiled without saying a word, and very politely made a "please" gesture, indicating that it was his turn to play Yu-Gi-Oh! again.

That was what he said, but card players all knew that Yu-Gi-Oh! was a very cruel game, and it was enough if one side could play.

Koji then reluctantly raised his Duel Disk again.

"Then it's my turn..."

He gritted his teeth.

Only one card left in his hand, and it was an Equip Magic, couldn't even summon a monster, obviously useless.

This was the draw that determined fate.

But a true Duelist would never retreat because of this. Just like what the legendary Duel King Yugi Mutou said, believe in your deck, and the deck will definitely respond to you.

He believed in the bond between himself and his deck!

Koji Sato placed his finger on the deck, breathing deeply while reciting in his heart.

Please! Give me a Level 4 monster!

Then it was a draw that seemed to have injected a soul, drawing a handsome arc.

The moment he opened his eyes and glimpsed that card, Koji Sato's pupils shook, and he almost wanted to look up and laugh.

It came!

Not only did he draw a monster that could be summoned, but it was also "Lizard Soldier," Level 4, attack power 1850. It was exactly 50 points higher than those high-quality attackers with 1800 attack power that were highly sought after on the market, as if mocking them. It was the strongest low-level monster in his deck.

Sure enough, the deck responded to his heart!

However, just as Koji's mouth hooked into an arc, as if the horn of counterattack was about to start—

When he looked up and saw a set card that the opponent had flipped open at some point in the back row, his smile instantly froze.

Trap Card - Drop Off, No. 2.

Activate during the opponent's draw phase, discard the card the opponent just drew directly to the graveyard.

Koji Sato: "."

"According to the effect of Drop Off." Fujiki You Xuan said politely, "Please discard that card too."

Koji's lips were almost bitten to the point of bleeding. He ferociously sent the key card for the comeback, "Lizard Soldier," into the graveyard, looked down, and saw that he only had that lonely Equip Magic left in his hand...

"Turn... turn end." Koji declared depressedly.

"Then it's my turn again, draw card."

Fujiki You Xuan glanced at the card he drew, it was another trap.

His hand was overflowing with red traps, but the opponent clearly had no cards to trap anymore. So he added this card to his hand, waved his hand casually: "Don Zaloog, direct attack."

【Koji, LP2600→LP1200】

"Zaloog's effect activates again. Of course, still the first effect."

Fujiki You Xuan pointed to the last card in his hand.

"Throw that one away too."

Koji Sato watched his last hand card also enter the graveyard, suddenly thinking that maybe he should have set this card on the field last turn, although it didn't mean much, at least it could be considered keeping this card...

His mentality collapsed, completely forgetting this.

Although it seemed it didn't have any impact on the situation.

"Turn end."

"Then my turn, draw card."

This time Koji drew a card, but didn't even look at what he drew, instead staring straight at Fujiki You Xuan's back row.

Just like asking, no traps, right?

Then I'm drawing a card? Really drawing?

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and signaled him to proceed.

Finally, he struggled to pass the draw phase and entered the preparation phase of this turn. Koji Sato almost cried out.

Before, he might never have dreamed that drawing a card... was such a luxurious kind of happiness.

Seeing the card he drew, he was even more invigorated.

"Possessed Dark Soul," Level 4, attack power 1600.

Usually just a mediocre monster, but 1600 attack power at this moment could save his life. Because although Don Zaloog's effect was disgusting, its attack power was only 1400.

Finally, he could beat down that sword-tomb thing that discarded his hand every turn!

Koji Sato couldn't wait: "I summon 'Possessed Dark Soul' in Attack Position, attack 'Don Zaloog'! Beat him to death, go die, go die..."

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, buddy, calm down, dueling should be played with a smile."

Fujiki You Xuan reminded him with a smile.

"And don't rush, before that, it's not the battle phase yet. Because I activated a Trap Card at the timing just now."

He pointed to a set card that stood up in the back row.

"Trap Card - Forced Back. Return a monster on the field to the owner's hand."

"I want to return 'Possessed Dark Soul' to your hand."

The trap took effect, the cursed doll holding the axe hadn't even stood firm on its heels before it turned into a golden light and flew back to Koji Sato's hand.

Koji Sato: "."

This was his only hand card.

And it just used up his only Normal Summon opportunity this turn.

So clearly, he had no cards to play again.

What was going to happen next was obvious. He couldn't do anything but end the turn, and then that damn Zaloog would hit him again, discarding his last hand card...

Oh no, it couldn't even wait until that time. Because his LP was only 1200, and he had already hung up after one more hit.

However, Fujiki You Xuan ultimately failed to successfully make Koji Sato's LP return to zero.

Because before the next turn arrived...

Koji Sato was disqualified and judged to have lost directly because he tried to attack the opponent Duelist directly during the duel and was hurriedly held back by the students watching around.
