You Xuan began to discover the joy of playing cards in another world.
However, he soon realized that the happiness in the world was conserved. Because as he started to be happy, the interest of the fellow apprentices in the dojo in dueling seemed to begin to fade.

In just three short days, no one wanted to duel with him anymore...
You Xuan could only look up at the sky and sigh.
Now he seemed to understand a little why Yugi Muto said that he couldn't make friends before he met the Pharaoh. As expected, people who lived in the underworld didn't deserve to have friends.

Later, the matter even alarmed the Dojo Master.
The master of ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) the dojo was named Takeuchi Kageryu. It was said that he was once in the top thirty-two in a dueling competition in a small town when he was young. Master Takeuchi heard that a certain apprentice's dueling skills had improved by leaps and bounds recently. He had defeated the senior brother, who was his proud disciple, and had made the apprentices self-isolating in the duels during those three days. Now nobody would duel him anymore...
Hearing this, Master Takeuchi immediately felt that he had to come forward.

He immediately gathered all the apprentices, first praising You Xuan for studying hard and improving rapidly, and then criticizing the other apprentices for their negative attitudes.
The master chided that dueling and learning from each other was for the purpose of improving, and that a strong opponent was clearly a good thing. Otherwise, what was the point of bullying beginners all day long?
The apprentices were reprimanded and lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

"Forget it."
The master waved his hand and smiled as he beckoned You Xuan over.
"If they don't want to come, then I'll personally test how much you've improved. It's also a good time to give you some pointers on your deck."

Having finally found someone willing to duel with him, You Xuan had several deck adjustments he wanted to test, so he gladly accepted.
Alright, today was a duel with the master.
The master was very handsome and gave You Xuan the first turn, showing the style of a master. So You Xuan didn't hold back and directly took the first turn.

He immediately paid 1000 life points and showed the spell card "Confiscation." This familiar development made all the apprentices, who had suffered from it in the past three days, shudder, almost triggering PTSD.
Then the effect of Confiscation activated.
He looked at his master's hand and immediately chose to discard the "Monster Reborn." Then he normal summoned "Green Gadget," and when its effect activated, he searched for a "Red Gadget" from his deck. Then he set three cards in his back row and passed in a dashing manner.
Then it was the master's turn. The master directly played "Iron Knight Gearfried," a four-star monster with 1800 attack power, which was very handsome. But it was useless because Iron Knight was just about to stand when he ate a "Trap Hole" from You Xuan and was sent to the underworld.

[Trap Hole: Destroy monster with 1000 or more attack when it is summoned.]
But the master was worthy of being a master, and he could still do something. Although he didn't have a Normal Summon this turn, he activated the effect of "Gaia the Fierce Knight", where by banishing an EARTH monster from the graveyard he could special summon it. He banished Iron Knight from the graveyard and jumped Gaia the Fierce Knight onto the field.
Then Master Takeuchi waved his hand and attacked the Green Gadget with the Gaia the Fierce Knight. But You Xuan snapped his fingers, and a bright red back row flipped open.

I activate Solemn Scolding!
[Mirror Force: Activate when an opponent's monster declares an attack. Destroy all attack position monsters your opponent controls.]
Master Takeuchi: "......"

Having stepped on two traps in a row, the master had no choice but to skip his turn.
Then it was You Xuan's turn again. You Xuan looked at the card he had drawn, and then directly played "Mischief of the Time Goddess." By paying 1000 life points, he made the opponent discard two more cards.
Master Takeuchi looked down at his hand that had instantly evaporated to only one card, and fell into thinking about life...

You Xuan then summoned the "Red Gadget" that he had searched for last turn. Then, when Red Gadget's effect activated, he searched for "Yellow Gadget" from his deck. During the battle phase, Red Gadget and Green Gadget went for a direct attack, and the double direct attack directly took away 2700 of the master's life points.
This wasn't even over yet. At the end of his turn, he waved his hand and flipped open another set card.
[Seal of the Forbidden Spell]

[Trap/Effect: Skip the opponent's next Draw Phase.]
You might not believe it, but this overpowered underworld card was also a card from the King of Games Yugi Muto. The game was printed when Yami Yugi in the Duel City was dueling a duelist who was using the fake cards with "Exodia, the Forbidden One"...
His hand had been evaporated, and he had been directly stolen of his Draw Phase. Master Takeuchi looked at his empty field that was as clean as a blank sheet of paper and the gears ready to fight, and couldn't help but seriously consider the feasibility of bodily dueling...

"......"
One minute later.
With his life points at zero, the master walked off the duel field, raised his head, and took a deep breath.

And began to reflect on what he was thinking about. Why was he so full that he had to duel with this kind of underworld thing...?
The watching apprentices looked even more sad.
Even the master had fallen!

In fact, they were still hopeful about the results before this duel began. Everyone more or less felt that although they were very weak when facing this underworld person and had a sense of frustration that they couldn't use their strength and couldn't play their cards, it was mostly because their skills were not good enough. If they ran into an expert, the results would probably be different.
However, the reality was that the master started, the master attacked, and the master also said GG [good game].
The process was almost exactly the same as when each of them faced You Xuan in the past few days!

This was a shock to their values. The collapse of their worldview, and endless confusion and deep anxiety about the dark future of the entire dueling world. At the same time, they couldn't help but have similar thoughts in their hearts-
-The invincible master lost to a self-isolating person who took revenge on society. Why am I having this dream?
In fact, the structure that You Xuan tested this time was very simple. It was the combination of early traditional trap BEAT and hand destruction.

Little friends who have played Yu-Gi-Oh! in the early years know that in that era when the effect of monsters was far less powerful than it is today and the deck's operational ability was not as exaggerated as it is today, powerful spell traps occupied a very important position in mainstream decks.
The red, green, and yellow three gears had the effect of searching each other to supplement their hands when summoned, which could fill the ammunition and prevent this side from running out of monsters. At the same time, powerful red traps and magic could constantly break through the opponent's resources. As the gap between the two sides' resources continued to widen, it would naturally be impossible to play.
But You Xuan still said humbly, "Master, what do you think of my deck? Is there anything else I can ask you for guidance?"

Master Takeuchi heard this and then came back to his senses from his meditation on life. He looked at him with a meaningful look. It was strange to say, he was clearly a handsome and sunny young man, but now when he saw this face, he felt uneasy in his heart.
Guidance? Hehe, what guidance could he give?
You were so awesome, you should be the one to guide me.

Honestly, if he didn't think that his old face was a little too shameful, he would have really had this thought in his heart.
He wanted to learn to duel from You Xuan.
He especially wanted to learn how to duel that could bring such twisted with pain to others.

"I have nothing more to teach you."
Master Takeuchi sighed and said somewhat weakly.
"By the way, Teacher, I remembered that I have one more thing to ask for." You Xuan said.

"What is it?"
"I want to apply for the entrance exam for Duel Academy," You Xuan said, "I wanted to ask if I could apply for a subsidy from the dojo."
