Chapter 828

"Ahhh, I lost..."

Long Ya sat cross-legged on the ground, rubbing his head.

The honor student on the side said: "That's why I told you long ago, Long Ya, your dueling is too shallow. The teacher said that dueling is not just about setting up your own tactics, but also about being able to understand the opponent's tactical layout."

"Like you, always relying on intuition, playing wherever you think of, naturally won't last long."

Long Ya looked distressed: "But dueling requires using your brain, it's tiring..."

Fujiki You Xuan imitated Godwin's posture, hands behind his back, walked to Long Ya, and smiled slightly.

"No, perhaps it's fine to keep being like this."

Long Ya's eyes lit up: "Really!?"

"Hmm," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "Like you, dueling purely with the power of intuition and entrusting victory entirely to the Deck itself is not necessarily a sign of trust."

"If you trust your Deck enough, the Deck will also respond to you."

This wasn't Fujiki You Xuan talking nonsense; there was actual evidence.

When Yugi was Long Ya's age, his card playing wasn't necessarily as amazing as it is now. Fujiki You Xuan could see that the strength of such talented players would grow with each passing day. Even if they did nothing, they would automatically become stronger every day.

This might be what's called a genius.

As two generations of protagonists, Yugi and Yusei, although similar in the metaphysical trait of "believing in the heart of the cards," are generally different types of duelists.

Although Yusei also draws miracles, in general, he doesn't often rely on the power of miracle draws, but rather prefers to set up tactics, defeating opponents with precise calculations and beautiful combinations. In the anime, you can even see him playing psychological games with opponents from time to time, with layers of schemes.

Yugi has none of that. If Yusei only hopes for a miracle draw when it's difficult to break through relying on calculations and intellectual battles, then Yugi is a player who treats miracle draws as basic attacks.

What tactical games, what layers of schemes—they don't exist. As long as he can draw the card he needs—even a card he himself didn't know he needed before drawing it—tactics are just floating clouds.

Maybe this is the power of breaking all laws with one force in the dueling world.

Long Ya can also be considered a child of destiny protected by a protagonist halo. Although the halo is probably not as powerful as Yugi's, it is enough to make him stand out among the group of duelists. He and Yugi are clearly the same type of duelist, and Fujiki You Xuan could see at a glance that this child would definitely achieve great things in the future.

"It's not that I'm bad!" Long Ya said to his companion with dissatisfaction. "It's that this Mister is too strong!"

The honor student didn't refute it.

There was no way to refute it, because he felt that what Long Ya said was the truth. It was indeed too strong—so strong that it exceeded his understanding of common sense.

What level is it to summon Thud in one turn?

At this moment, this honor student felt that this silver-haired Mister had already surpassed all the experts he had known so far through this short duel. And to say something a bit rash, he even felt that the Mister seemed to be stronger than the absolute King, Jack Atlas.

"Since Mister is so strong, why don't you attend the tournament?" the honor student couldn't help but ask. "With your strength, if you summoned Thud like this in any random tournament, you would definitely become an overnight sensation and become a superstar in the dueling world, right?"

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and didn't answer.

If he were to say he was stronger than the current Jack, he would agree. Not just Jack, but even including Yusei, the 5D's protagonist group had relatively obvious growth compared to the beginning and end of the story. At this stage, they were all still in the novice period and were not very strong by comparison.

However, to say that he could slaughter the 5D's world with Thud would indeed be a bit of an underestimation of the heroes of the world.

Thud is very strong, but not absolutely invincible. First of all, although it has absolute resistance, it can actually be eaten by the Lava Golem couple.

Although he felt that the probability of running into the Lava Golem couple in the 5D's dimension was not high, it was not zero.

In addition, Thud's ATK only becomes 1000 higher than the opponent's. If he encountered something like the "Big Shield Gardna" often used by Yugi Muto, with 2600 DEF but only 100 ATK, it might be difficult to break through.

Furthermore, even if Thud is invincible, the duelist's LP and Deck are limited, and it's not impossible to bypass Thud to deal with the controller.

In general, this Deck is ultimately a gimmick. It's amazing to be able to summon Thud instantly, but to achieve this combination, Thud also became the Deck's only combat power.

Fujiki You Xuan had long understood that in the anime world, a Deck with only one trick won't go far, no matter how amazing that trick is. Even a monster that seems invincible like Thud cannot entrust all the Deck's combat power to it.

Because no matter how powerful it is, this build takes away the Deck's possibilities. Without various cards of unknown significance that can deal with various ever-changing battle situations, if the opponent's seafood-head player prints a card to target it, it might explode on the spot.

However, such a gimmick is quite suitable for bullying children like Long Ya, and it can leave the opponent with memories that might be unforgettable for a lifetime better than ordinary Decks.

And so, Long Ya instantly became the Director's super fan, pulling him to ask questions, and they were chatting enthusiastically in the blink of an eye.

Long Ya was originally a lively person, and he could chat enthusiastically even with strangers he had just met. His classmate originally thought that teachers and parents had told him not to be too close to strangers when outside, but on second thought, the other party wasn't a stranger, after all, he was the Director of the Security Maintenance Bureau who had been on TV. If even the Director was a bad person, then this society would probably be finished, so he didn't speak up to stop him.

Fujiki You Xuan guided the topic casually, and Long Ya told him everything about his family situation.

Like how his parents were both busy, running around the world all day and rarely coming back, but he had a super mansion in the top district, and a cute younger sister named Luna, and so on...

"Luna... I remember now," Fujiki You Xuan said, supporting his chin. "The Security Maintenance Bureau is going to hold the 'Fortune Cup' tournament, and your sister Luna seems to have been drawn for a spot in the tournament."

Long Ya was pleasantly surprised: "Really!?"

"Of course," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "And the Duel King, Jack Atlas, will also attend the tournament. The winner can duel Jack Atlas."

"Oh oh oh, duel with Jack!"

Long Ya's eyes almost turned into stars.

The honor student on the side reminded: "But the one invited is your sister, not you. Besides, even if you participated, you couldn't win, right?"

Fujiki You Xuan laughed: "Well, although we met for the first time today, we are quite compatible... How about this. If you want, I will give you an extra spot, and you can bring your sister to participate together, how about that?"

Long Ya was shocked: "Eh? This... is that okay?"

"Of course it's okay," Fujiki You Xuan said, hands behind his back, acting profound. "I am, after all, one of the tournament organizers, I still have that much power.

Well, but if you take the spot, please be sure to attend the tournament. If both players are absent at that time, it will have a significant impact on our tournament."

"Oh oh oh, that's great, that's great!"

Long Ya was so excited he hugged his leg.

"Don't worry, even if I have to tie her up, I will definitely bring Luna with me!"

Fujiki You Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, the last one is also done... No, even buy one get one free, two done.

Long Ya is not a Signer for now, but he will be in the future. And even if he hasn't awakened the Dragon Mark, he is still a main force in the subsequent battles against the Dark Signers.

So the players are gathered, and next, it's time to prepare for the tournament.
