Chapter 94

"Is it solved?"

Fujiki You Xuan took the deck handed over by Silent and stuffed it into an empty card box hanging on the inside of his jacket.

When he goes out, he usually carries several card boxes to hold different decks, one card box to hold the SIDE, and in addition, he reserves several empty slots specifically for storing captured loot.

Classmate Misawa usually hangs six card boxes on his chest, while classmate Yucheng Shidai usually carries two behind him. So generally speaking, counting the deck loaded in the Duel Disk, it's no problem to carry at least nine decks when going out—and this is without carrying a backpack.

Fujiki You Xuan took the deck and unfolded it for a simple browse.

Anyway, this Duelist named Titan is just a charlatan; in the anime, he didn't even play cards, he just snuck up behind Asuka and knocked her out, then kidnapped Asuka to force Yucheng Shidai to play cards with him.

He didn't play cards very seriously either; he used off-field tricks relying on hypnosis, and once his tricks were exposed by Yucheng Shidai, he immediately stopped playing and turned to run away.

He has no card ethics and no real skills, so naturally, there's no need to talk about any underworld morality when dealing with such a second-rate player; the spirit just beats people up and that's it.

This is called confiscating the tools of the crime.

As expected, the Duelist named Titan used a Fiend deck. Although it's at least a series with a slot, overall there are no cards that he considers very powerful.

But even if it's not useful, selling it for a good price is not bad.

Fujiki You Xuan has already sold many of the cards he couldn't use from the decks he picked up before. He found that just picking up decks and selling cards is actually a good income; so far, the extra cards and Duel Disks he has picked up are enough for him to spend for a long time...

"Hard work, well done."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and touched Silent's head.

Silent, who had been pouting and unhappy, was stunned for a moment, looking blankly at her master actually giving her a head-pat; her social anxiety attribute seemed to flare up again, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

With a swoosh, she turned into a white light and dived into the deck, disappearing.

Fujiki You Xuan looked at his palm hanging in mid-air and couldn't help but reflect.

What's with that reaction that feels like a bit of disgust...

Yucheng Shidai's voice came from the corridor outside: "There's nothing in the room here either. Fujiki You Xuan, did you find anything on your side... Eh!?"

When he entered the room, he seemed to just see that white shadow disappear into Fujiki You Xuan's deck, and couldn't help but blink twice, then rubbed them hard.

"Did I see that right? Fujiki You Xuan, that is..."

Winged Kuriboh flapped its small wings and flew to Yucheng Shidai's side: "Kurikuri~!"

"Ah, I see! I didn't see it wrong after all!" Yucheng Shidai showed a surprised expression, "You also have a spirit, right?"

Winged Kuriboh nodded vigorously—although its whole small body looked like a head, so the scene looked like it was flapping its wings and jumping up and down: "Kuri! Kurikuri!"

Yucheng Shidai nodded: "Yeah, I know, partner."

Fujiki You Xuan: "."

No, he has really always been very curious, how do you guys understand what Kuriboh is saying...

He thought every syllable sounded exactly the same.

Seeming to have rarely met a compatriot, Yucheng Shidai pulled him excitedly: "I've been hearing strange sounds since I was very young.

At first, it was when I was dreaming in the middle of the night, I always felt like I heard someone calling my name. Then I often couldn't help but climb up in the middle of the night to look at my deck..."

"And then the spirit appeared?"

"No, then nothing happened." Yucheng Shidai scratched his head embarrassedly, "Haha, it's really not that easy to see a spirit. Later, for a long time, I couldn't hear the spirit's voice either.

But recently, I started hearing it again."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Winged Kuriboh. The small Kuriboh narrowed its eyes happily and rubbed affectionately against his face: "Kurikuri~!"

Fujiki You Xuan understood roughly. Sure enough, although Yucheng Shidai had an impression of hearing the spirit's voice when he was young, he seemed to have forgotten everything about his first spirit.

Poor Sister Yu...

Yucheng Shidai's first spirit should be Yubel, the spirit who reincarnated with him from his past life and swore to protect him for all eternity.

But Sister Yu, who was a yandere, protected him a bit too hard back then, turning all the friends who had beaten Yucheng Shidai in card games into vegetables. Afterward, she was identified as an ominous cursed card and shot into space by a rocket from Kaiba Corp.

Since then, Yucheng Shidai has always had nightmares related to Yubel and suffered, so his parents performed memory deletion surgery on him. So Sister Yu has now been completely forgotten...

"Fujiki You Xuan's spirit looks very powerful!" Yucheng Shidai said excitedly, "Can you call her out and let me see?"

"Um, about this..." Fujiki You Xuan pondered, "She's shy."

Yucheng Shidai: "?"

Just at this moment, a scream came from a room not far away: "Wooah!"

Yucheng Shidai was startled: "Hayato and Xiang's voices!"

He hurriedly rushed out of the door and ran along the corridor to the room over there.

"What's going on?"

"Just now... there was something! Something went past!" Xiang said incoherently, "There really is a problem with this place!"

Fujiki You Xuan walked slightly slower; when he went out, he really caught a glimpse of a small, eerie green thing flying past along the corridor and disappearing behind a door.

And he felt like he had seen this thing before...

Yucheng Shidai was puzzled: "I didn't see anything, you guys must have seen it wrong, right?"

"Absolutely not! Hayato and I both saw it!" Xiang shouted.

Fujiki You Xuan: "Don't be afraid, it's just a ghost."

Everyone: "???"

Don't you think there's a problem with what you just said?

But Fujiki You Xuan really wasn't joking. He remembered, that seemed to be a vanilla monster card. A niche vanilla monster he hadn't even seen in his past life, which he saw when he was memorizing questions for the Duel Academy exam before.

【Ghost, 2 stars, ATK 600, DEF 800】

The description is that it is a vengeful spirit formed by the slow gathering of souls that cannot become Buddhas after death in this world, a proper ghost.

However, this is the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, so even ghosts cannot escape the fate of becoming cards. So although it sounds like a vengeful spirit might be very powerful, it's just a vanilla monster with 600 ATK, which is a one-shot kill for both the big Beginning and Silent.

Sure enough, in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, even ghosts are nothing to be afraid of.

But what Fujiki You Xuan cares about is, why would monster spirits refresh out of thin air in this dilapidated dormitory?

"Kuri!"

Winged Kuriboh flew up, as if signaling the master to follow.

"Winged Kuriboh, wait!"

Yucheng Shidai hurriedly followed, and everyone followed behind.

Passing through the corridor, they followed Kuriboh into an old and eerie room.

A magic circle of unknown origin was carved on the floor, as if it had been used for some ritual. The surrounding walls were covered with complex characters and patterns, and at a glance, one could even see patterns of some Millennium Items that were no longer in the world.

Yucheng Shidai walked to one of the stone slabs and reached out to gently brush away the dust on it.

"Millennium Items... has anyone studied Dark Games here before?"

"Kuri!"

Winged Kuriboh floated to his side, its tone becoming serious this time.

At this time, Chaos Soldier also abruptly appeared beside Fujiki You Xuan, reminding him in a deep voice: "Be careful. The space in this place is not right..."

Before the words fell, the magic circle carved on the ground had suddenly been lit up.

A burst of strong light erupted, suddenly enveloping Fujiki You Xuan and Yucheng Shidai together. Then, both of them felt their feet go empty, and instantly it felt like the world was spinning, as if they were about to fall into another world.

Fujiki You Xuan had had such an experience once before.

It was exactly the same as when he accidentally fell into the Fairy Realm last time.
