Chapter 596: The Final Wish

Mr. Sato sat in the corner, looking up, taking a deep breath.

Then he looked up at the sky.

"As expected... lost, huh."

He shook his head, showing a look of regret.

Fujiki You Xuan stood silently in front of him for a moment, then walked up and sat down beside him.

"This tone sounds like you expected the result, is that right?" He looked at Sato.

Sato smiled bitterly and said: "You are the invincible King of the duel world, and the strong defeated by you are countless. And I don't know how long it has been since I was on a real field. Does this result still need to be said?"

Fujiki You Xuan could faintly feel the influence of dark fluctuations from Sato before, and he knew that it was mostly Yubel's influence. But now that fluctuation had disappeared.

He could feel that Sato had returned to normal now—of course, he just got rid of the influence of dark power. But whether his own mental state was normal was hard to say.

Sato noticed his scrutinizing eyes and waved his hand: "No need to look at me suspiciously, Student Fujiki You Xuan. I am unable to fight anymore, and I can't... *cough, cough* drag this broken body to make things difficult for you again."

He said, shaking his head, and looked at Fujiki You Xuan with some resentment.

"But Student Fujiki You Xuan, you are really a king of ideas. Dark Scorpion Thieves, and then Storm Summoner, they were all monsters you intentionally gave me, right?"

"You knew the ability of Scabbed Scar Knight from the beginning, and you knew my duel mode. You deliberately chose these mole things for me, and in turn borrowed my monster's ability to help you achieve the killer combo..."

Fujiki You Xuan didn't commit.

"Haha, as expected of the King," Sato said. "Even if you say my class is worthless, even if you say my dueling is outdated... in the end, you, the king of skipping classes, understand me the most, understand my dueling, my tactics the most... *cough, cough*"

He shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's really ironic."

Strictly speaking, Fujiki You Xuan didn't think he was skipping class; his free course selection was allowed by the school... but it didn't matter, he didn't correct or refute anything.

Mr. Sato now really felt why this sunny student in front of him would enjoy the reputation of the Lord of the Yellow Robe in the academy.

Mr. Sato, who drove Scar Knight, had played NTR cards all his life, and he had never encountered a situation like today that could make a ten-year NTR player angry into a pure-love warrior.

It made him have psychological shadows in the future and dare not randomly NTR other people's monsters...

Although it was a bit cruel to this teacher who contributed a lot to teaching, the backwardness of his teaching method was also a fact. In the anime, except for Judai, fewer and fewer students went to his class later, until almost no one went later.

Even the most model good student, Tenjoin Asuka, skipped his class later. Even Asuka felt that this teacher's class was too dull and boring.

Sato looked up at the sky: "It seems you proved you were right, Student Fujiki You Xuan."

"What?"

"About me," Sato closed his eyes gently. "Whether as a teacher or a duelist, I am just a... loser."

He seemed to have spent great courage to say this sentence.

"No one listens to the class, being denied by students, not because of you, or any other student. It's myself. Because I failed, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't satisfy expectations, couldn't be needed, so I..."

He shook his head.

"I just needed a reason to tell myself it was someone else's fault. I attributed these to you, but it's not like that at all. This is my failure as a teacher, nothing more."

Fujiki You Xuan sat beside him, patting his shoulder like a friend chatting.

"Maybe I don't like your class, teacher, but some of what I just said was just trash talk during the duel. You know, professional games often rely on this to interfere with opponents, right?"

"I said your dueling is outdated and has no merit, but that's not actually the case. You are a very excellent duelist, teacher. By looking at the appearance of that Scar Knight, I can understand the expectations you placed on that monster, the battle soul as a duelist."

"It's a pity that you couldn't continue to fight because of physical reasons. If not, teacher would definitely have gone further on the professional path."

Sato looked at him sideways, looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud. "I didn't expect it, Student Fujiki You Xuan. From your mouth, you can actually say such comforting and inspiring words."

Fujiki You Xuan: "."

Why does this sound like a dog can't spit out ivory from the teacher's mouth?

Is this the image I have in the teacher's heart?

"Forget it," Sato shook his head and said lightly. "I know I probably can't beat you, but I still came. On the one hand, it's... instigated by others, that's true."

"Professor Kebula, right?" Fujiki You Xuan asked.

Sato smiled: "It seems that nothing on this island can be hidden from King-sama, you already know."

He paused and continued: "On the other hand, it's because... at the last moment, no matter what, I wanted to settle things with you. Whether as a teacher or a duelist."

He picked up the Scar Knight card in his hand and smiled.

"At the very end, if I hadn't had a duel with you, my old friend probably wouldn't agree, right?"

While speaking, Fujiki You Xuan actually saw the phantom of the Scar Knight spirit appear, floating beside Sato, watching him quietly, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

Fujiki You Xuan frowned slightly.

"Teacher, you said the last moment?"

"Ah, yes."

Mr. Sato slowly raised his head and looked at him.

"My time is running out. I'm afraid it's the old injury accumulated from high-intensity continuous combat in the professional circle back then, which has now evolved into an incurable disease..."

Fujiki You Xuan pondered for a moment and said.

"Now the medical technology under the Kaiba Group is very developed. Although I don't know what disease you have, teacher, there may not be no way..."

Sato shook his head.

"It's useless, this is the fate of a warrior. A warrior who carries countless expectations and heavy expectations to fight will eventually have a day when he has to fall."

"But before that..."

He took a deep breath and handed the card in his hand to Fujiki You Xuan.

This time Fujiki You Xuan was a bit surprised.

He looked at the Scar Knight in the teacher's hand, didn't reach out to take it, just frowned and said: "This is your most important card, isn't it?"

"Yes," Sato nodded and smiled. "I heard that the King likes to collect the cards of defeated opponents as proof of victory, right?"

Fujiki You Xuan shook his head and pushed his hand back.

"Not this time, not for you, teacher."

"Then I must insist even more," Sato said seriously. "I said, I'm already done for. And even if I luckily get my life back, with this body, it's hard to return to the field in the second half of my life."

"But I don't want and can't let Scar Knight be with me like this. He is a warrior and should return to the field... no, I hope he can reach the peak of the world."

"And among the people I know, only you, Student Fujiki You Xuan, can do it. So just treat it as the teacher's... final wish, please, can you?"

Fujiki You Xuan looked at the card he handed over and looked at his sincere eyes.

After thinking about it, Fujiki You Xuan reached out and took it.

"Okay."
