Chapter 820: Hate Me

~7 min read 1,384 words

"Ugh ahhh..."

Taking all the damage, the remaining LP was cleared in one breath. Aki couldn't help but make a strange sound, swayed, and retreated two steps, kneeling on the ground out of strength.

No way, Fujiki You Xuan was too fierce. Even she, the strongest psychokinetic duelist of the Arcadia Movement, almost couldn't hold on.

"This kind of pain, what exactly..."

Aki supported the ground with one hand, her face pale, unable to speak for a long time.

That just now was definitely not any ordinary physical damage; it was something completely different from their psychokinetic duel.

Although it also carried a certain physical damage impact, it mainly concentrated on her body, and unlike her psychokinetic attacks, it didn't have the exaggerated effects of environmental destruction and roaring gales.

And besides physical damage, there was also something that seemed to be on a deeper level. It felt like the attack just now hit deeper into her body, a pain that even shook her soul.

This was probably the first time in Izayoi Aki's life that she felt her power was suppressed.

And this was only talking about the level of supernatural power.

The opponent even proved with actions that what he said before was not big talk. He used a Plant-Type deck, proving that she hadn't truly mastered her deck and her power.

Being taken away by the opponent's combination, Aki's first instinctive feeling was, frustration.

A kind of frustration like being played in the palm of someone's hand. Watching helplessly as she was burned to death by the Amaryllis that kept reviving and jumping back and forth, a sense of powerlessness where she had strength but couldn't use it.

In fact, even if she had always been loathed by others, if only talking about the duel itself, Aki still loved it from the bottom of her heart.

After all, even if Aki had always been unable to restrain her power, her power only activated during duels. Theoretically speaking, as long as she didn't touch cards in her life and went to find something to do in other industries, it wasn't impossible.

Although if she completely cut off from dueling in the Yu-Gi-Oh worldview, no matter what she did, her lifetime achievements might be limited, but if she just wanted to live like an ordinary person, it might not be impossible.

But even so, Aki didn't completely give up dueling; even if there might be other factors, it definitely meant the girl's addiction to cards wasn't small.

So today might be the first time in her life that the thought of "should I find a job in the future" flashed through her mind for a short moment after the duel.

Playing cards doesn't seem to be that worth lingering on...

The key is that she couldn't say anything after being killed like this. Because Black Garden and Phoenix Cluster Amaryllis were indeed cards she often used, it's just that she hadn't played out such an upper limit until now.

Including self-closing burn damage, it was also a tactic she was accustomed to using. Black Garden itself was a field with self-closing properties. When Yusei and Izayoi first fought in the original work, he also said that she enjoyed the process of hurting her opponent somewhere in her heart. In terms of the quality of a self-closing player, the girl's potential was very high.

It's just that the process of hurting others is happy, but once a self-closing player meets someone more self-closing than themselves, then the whole person is not good...

The girl's hair was messy, and she knelt on the ground with her head lowered, until she felt a shadow covering her body. She slowly looked up and saw "Director Goodwin" standing straight in front of her, his body blocking the moonlight outside the window, and that cold face became a bit hazy.

Aki was lost for a moment, then bit her lip again.

Aki: "Why don't you kill me? Just like you killed Divine?"

"Yeah, why indeed..."

Fujiki You Xuan tilted his head and said slowly.

"Probably because, the current you doesn't even have the value of being killed by me."

Aki: "!"

Such an arrogant statement made her heart even angrier, but she couldn't say anything. Because the opponent seemed to be qualified to say so.

She lost, lost thoroughly.

The opponent didn't even use his real deck. The opponent used a deck similar to hers, the same cards as her, and even a style similar to hers, defeating her with an attitude of almost playing with her.

Defeated her duel, defeated her power, and almost defeated her spirit.

"Well, but there is one point where you are stronger than Divine. You have potential, and you have a chance to become stronger."

Fujiki You Xuan said in an unruffled tone.

"If it's the current you, no matter how many times it comes, it's the same; you have no chance of winning against me."

"However, you still have possibilities. This is also why I will give you a chance, a chance to become stronger, to challenge me again, and to take revenge on me."

He flicked his fingertips, and a white envelope fell lightly, drifting in front of Aki.

Aki subconsciously took the envelope, was stunned for a moment, looked up and asked: "What is this?"

"An invitation to the 'Fortune Cup'." Fujiki You Xuan said, "A tournament hosted by the Public Security Maintenance Bureau."

"The Public Security Maintenance Bureau has invited duelists from all over the world and all fields to participate, each of whom is an elite who has been verified in practice in their respective fields."

"And there is something even more important..."

Fujiki You Xuan deliberately paused here, smiled and glanced at the Dragon Mark on Aki's arm, and smiled.

"... Besides you, the other few Signers will also attend."

Aki: "!"

She couldn't help but look up sharply, looking at Fujiki You Xuan with undisguised surprise.

"Yes, the Signers will all come." Fujiki You Xuan said, "What will happen when the Signers fight each other... to be honest, I'm not sure."

"But it should be very worth looking forward to."

"Director Goodwin" walked to the window, with his hands behind his back, facing away from Aki, and continued to say.

Aki watched him facing away from her, looking undefended, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. If she launched a psychokinetic attack during this gap, would she be able to succeed easily and just kill this guy...

But this thought only flashed for a moment, and was quickly dismissed by her naturally.

There was no basis, but she instinctively felt that if she made a move at this moment, there would probably be no good results. In the end, it would just be self-inflicted humiliation.

She didn't make a move in the end.

"By the way, tell you something interesting." Fujiki You Xuan continued, "The duelist who wins the Fortune Cup can specially obtain the qualification to challenge the King of New Domino City, Jack Atlas."

"And Jack Atlas... he is also a Signer."

Aki's eyes moved, and she was even more shocked in her heart.

That Jack is also one?

She subconsciously looked at the Dragon Mark on her arm.

"Yes, Jack Atlas is a Signer like you, and he is already the person who reigns at the top of this city."

"If you can win all the way in the Fortune Cup, you should be able to become stronger after those battles. By then, I will naturally give you another chance to accept your challenge."

"And by then, you might know some interesting truths. About the Signers, about Divine, about the various secrets surrounding you, the truth about your life that you have never truly understood."

Fujiki You Xuan looked at Aki with a smile that was not a smile.

"How about it?"

Not long after, Aki clenched the envelope he threw down, stood up swaying, and a firm look reappeared in her apricot-colored eyes.

"I will go." She said.

"Very good."

Fujiki You Xuan turned and left, leaving her a back view of waving his hand.

"I'll wait for you."

Hate me, and then become stronger, you foolish girl.

Only then can you see your destiny clearly.
