Chapter 464: Duel Physics

"Is that so? The Destiny HERO - Plasma card has also been taken."

Mello was wearing his usual white suit, sinking his body into an armchair. His cane leaned to the side, and his deck was placed on the table beside him.

A subordinate in the white uniform of the Society of Light reported from the side.

"Yes, the information has been confirmed. Duel King Fujiki You Xuan personally took action and intercepted him on the cruise ship of world champion Dd."

"The two broke out into a duel, but in the end, it seems Dd was still no match, and that card was taken..."

"Is that so."

Mello took a slow sip of coffee.

"Well, although he is a champion, it is only natural since his opponent was that Duel King."

As he spoke, he paused and narrowed his eyes.

"Duel King Fujiki You Xuan, he is truly a guy who is becoming more and more interesting."

The Society member behind him hesitated but couldn't help saying, "But... sir, Destiny HERO - Plasma is an important sample; it is the first card in this world to come into contact with the power of light."

"Now that it has been taken by the Duel King, isn't that...?"

"It's nothing," Mello said lightly. "It's just a container. Although it is a good container, it is ultimately just a container. If it's taken, let him take it; it doesn't matter."

"Compared to this, the duel itself interests me more."

He reached out and flicked his hand lightly, and the white light condensed into a projection-like appearance in front of him, showing the situation when Fujiki You Xuan and Dd were dueling.

Mello stared fixedly at Black Luster Soldier in the image, showing an increasingly interested expression.

"The legendary strongest warrior, it seems to be a very interesting Spirit indeed... well, this surely still isn't the full strength of this Duel King, is it?"

He rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment.

"No, it should be said that it's hard to say how much strength he has shown so far, or if any opponent has ever made him serious."

The Society member behind him was puzzled: "Is he that powerful?"

"Of course, don't underestimate the duelists of this world. And this is the man standing at the pinnacle of this world; he will only have more than you imagine."

Mello paused and changed the subject.

"What about that doctor?"

"Oh." The Society member flipped through a document in his hand. "The doctor is expected to land on Duel Academy Island tomorrow; he is already completely one of our own in the Society."

"Good."

Mello slowly picked up his coffee again and smiled.

"The man known in this world as having the strongest dueling logic, the winner of the Duel Physics Award for ten consecutive years. If it is a duel by this person, I suppose it should still be worth looking forward to, right?"

"Of course." The Society member nodded repeatedly and said, "This doctor is not easy to persuade; even with the Society's resources, it is difficult to invite such a person out of seclusion."

"If he takes action, he will certainly be able to take down that Duel King..."

"Take down?"

Mello glanced at his subordinate and then laughed out loud.

"Don't be stupid."

The Society member was stunned. Then he heard Mello say: "I just hope this old thing can at least hold out a little longer, so I can see how many more tricks that Duel King has."

Society member: "..."

Fujiki You Xuan had originally planned to take the Destiny HERO - Plasma card, but taking it didn't mean he had to take it himself. He wanted the Destiny HERO - Plasma card, but he also wanted Edo.

Because just like recruiting Kaiser to the laboratory to do research on Cyber Dragons, Edo Phoenix was the only holder of Destiny HEROes in the world, and even the Destiny HERO deck itself was designed by his father for him alone; it was a deck that belonged exclusively to him. From the level of Destiny Power, naturally, no one was more suitable than Edo to be in charge of the development of Destiny HEROes.

Destiny HERO - Plasma was indeed a very powerful card in this environment, but Fujiki You Xuan was more interested in the physical card version of Destiny HERO - Plasma, not the anime original version.

Although the anime Destiny HERO - Plasma also had its strengths, most of its abilities required the Spell card "D-Force" to unlock, which was honestly a bit of a pitfall.

Even if he activated the Destiny Power skill "Power of 502" to make Destiny HERO - Plasma and D-Force stick together forever, D-Force still had the side effect of not being able to draw cards while it was on top of his deck. Not being able to draw cards was just too painful.

And for such a huge side effect, D-Force wasn't even as powerful as the physical card version. The anime's D-Force only made Destiny HERO - Plasma not a target for card effects; it still fell to non-targeting effects.

In other words, assuming the opponent played Raigeki, Destiny HERO - Plasma would still be destroyed, and even if Destiny HERO - Plasma were destroyed, D-Force would still remain on top of the deck, and he would continue to be unable to draw cards, which was basically equivalent to dying on the spot.

So, all things considered, Fujiki You Xuan still preferred the version he was familiar with: the physical Destiny HERO - Plasma.

Please... collect... 6... 9... books...!

So if he wanted to do physical card development, handing the original Destiny HERO - Plasma to Edo and getting Edo on board to join the laboratory for development was undoubtedly the best choice.

He arranged for Edo to join the laboratory, and Fujiki You Xuan also contacted Kaiba Corporation to set a time to arrange for experts to work together. Destiny HERO - Plasma not only needed development for potential excavation, but also an engineering project to release the soul imprisoned within it.

The next day, after everything was arranged, Fujiki You Xuan packed his things and started to head from the laboratory to the teaching building...

To attend class.

Together with Misawa and Asuka, who were also leaving from the laboratory.

Hmm, yes, the Duel King still had to attend class.

Of course, no one forced him, and he wouldn't attend every class. He would only attend courses he was interested in or felt were helpful to him.

It was a pity that after Teacher Da Desi disappeared, the alchemy class at the academy became very watered down. The new teacher who replaced Da Desi looked like someone who only knew how to read from the textbook. Fujiki You Xuan quickly lost interest in the alchemy class and only attended half a session before never going again.

It was a pity; the alchemy course was the class Fujiki You Xuan felt he had gained the most from. He discovered that alchemy was actually closely related to Duel Monsters and dark power, and many of his knowledge and techniques were actually learned from Da Desi.

Now, although he knew Teacher Da Desi was in the cat's belly, it was not as convenient to communicate and ask for advice as before.

Fujiki You Xuan entered the classroom, but immediately stopped and couldn't help but frown slightly.

It was empty, without a single shadow.

Could it be that he went to the wrong place?

"Strange." Asuka looked around, also puzzled in her heart. "Did we go to the wrong classroom?"

Misawa retreated to the corridor, looked up at the classroom door number, and compared it with the class schedule; it seemed they hadn't gone to the wrong place.

He confirmed the time again; it seemed it was time for class.

"I never remember the time wrong," Misawa frowned. "Could it be that everyone decided to skip class together?"

Or is it...

At this moment, a voice rang out in the classroom.

"I have taught countless students in my life, but to be honest, a student as noble as the Duel King is truly a first."

Fujiki You Xuan looked toward the sound and saw a short, white-haired old man who had appeared in the classroom at some point, wearing a white lab coat for research, with somewhat ridiculous glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.

The little old man pushed up his glasses and smiled.

"Let me try and see how well you have mastered Duel Physics."
