Chapter 801: Better to Cheat
Kagurazaka stared blankly at the reading on the electronic display of the duel disk jumping to "0", and seemed to find it difficult to accept the reality for a long time.
Just like that... lost?
He was holding the deck of the strongest duelist in history, imitating the tactics of the top of the top, but was actually OTK?
No, it's not just that.
He was even OTK in his own turn!
This whole duel felt like a joke to him, as if the opponent didn't even take it seriously. This "starfish head that looks like Yugi Muto" in front of him didn't even summon a decent monster from beginning to end.
What was the only monster he summoned in this duel?
Cotton ball, a piece of trash with only 200 attack power...
He was actually killed by such a piece of trash! ?
This made him feel that he, who was so arrogant a few minutes ago, was like a clown on the stage in the eyes of others.
But why?
Kagurazaka couldn't figure it out, no matter what.
He had studied Yugi Muto's duels carefully, not missing any details of every game.
He also started with three cards and fused the winged fantasy beast Chimaira directly? Why have I never seen the Duel King being killed instantly?
I did the same operation as him, why was he killed instantly in just one round - no, it seems to be half a round to be more accurate?
What is the difference between me and the real Duel King?
"Pa pa pa pa..."
The applause echoed rhythmically. Kagurazaka, who was in a state of dismay, looked in the direction of the sound and almost screamed again.
The Duel King... You Yu!
...Who is the blond guy following him? He looks so familiar, but I can't remember him at once...
"As expected of Mr. Yugi, even if he hasn't appeared in the official arena for so many years, he is still as good as ever." You Yu jumped off a big rock.
Yugi smiled and said, "No, I'm a little rusty now."
After a pause, he looked at Kagurazaka and said, "Your school also has some very good and interesting students. His duels are indeed quite nostalgic..."
Kagurazaka was stunned and it took him a long time to process the information he had just received.
... Wait, what did Principal Yugi call him just now?
It seems to be... Mr. Yugi?
What? Is this person really Yugi Muto's! ?
Kagurazaka suddenly raised his head and looked at Yugi in a daze, and was stunned for a moment.
Thinking of his previous self-righteous and stupid remarks, Kagurazaka was struck by lightning.
Fortunately, Yugi Muto was a good-tempered and easy-to-talk duel king, and he didn't seem to care about Kagurazaka's disrespectful attitude just now.
Not only that, he also walked up to Kagurazaka and patiently enlightened him: "Classmate, as I just said, what you lack is not tactical thinking or even deck building.
Although these are all necessary qualities for duelists and are required courses... they are not the most essential things for real duelists."
Kagurazaka looked at him blankly and mechanically repeated this sentence: "The most essential things for real duelists?"
"Yeah." Yugi patted his shoulder and said gently, "No matter whose deck it is, it will never be the best in your hands.
Only when you personally select a deck composed of every card selected from thousands of cards, and a deck that has poured all the emotions of the duelist, can you truly communicate with the duelist."
In fact, although it sounds a bit metaphysical, what Yugi said is really the truth.
Deck building, card playing awareness, etc. are icing on the cake, and what should really be practiced is the God draw.
You said that you saw in the video that he often started with Chimera, but believe it or not, as long as the opponent's hand can OTK, he definitely didn't start with Chimera?
What is this called? This is the bond with the deck! It is the proof of a true strong man!
The longer he stays in this world, the more he understands the operation of this world where cards are respected, and the more You Yu is sure of one thing——
——Simply holding a set of well-built and powerful top decks may make you a world-class master, but it can't make you a top strong man.
He can even imagine what would happen if a player took the famous "Xianming" deck to challenge Yugi.
Player A: "According to the effect of 'Executioner Demon Shura', I activate the trap card 'Reversal of the World and the Underworld' from my hand! All cards in the decks and graveyards of both players are exchanged! Then because your deck has no cards to draw next round, I win!"
Yugi: "Pay half of the life value and activate the counter trap 'Red Restart' from your hand to invalidate 'Reversal of the World and the Underworld'!"
Player A: *! # (The deck loses all its fighting power and dies on the spot)
Okay, it's just an analogy. But that's roughly what it means.
A deck is like a weapon to a duelist - the better the weapon is, the stronger it will be. But the duelist's level is a reflection of the duelist's own strength. The higher the level, the stronger the power that the same deck can exert in your hands.
And the duelist level in this world can be achieved through daily practice.
For example, Ryo Marufuji, who has mastered the 502 magic skill, and another example is a minor student in the Duel Academy in the GX animation, who practices in seclusion in the mountains like a savage, and actually has a magic skill comparable to Judai...
So just like the practice in fantasy fairy tales, this thing depends on talent and hard work.
As long as you are gifted, have a "psychic physique" that can communicate with elves, and meet a famous teacher to guide you, plus years of hard work and practice, you will find...
... You are still not as good as the cheater.
That's right, it's so real.
For example, our second-generation protagonist Yuki Judai, who is the reincarnation of a big boss and has his own grandfather, can level up even if he lies down.
The first generation Duel King Muto Yugi didn't have so many fancy tricks. His cheat was a typical "grandfather" type of cheat - a certain ancient boss survived a catastrophe that destroyed the world, leaving only a remnant soul to live in a certain artifact. Later, the artifact fell into the hands of the protagonist, and the remnant soul of the boss in the artifact became the protagonist's cheat.
However, the "grandfather" of the fantasy protagonist usually lost all his cultivation and strength for some special reason, and could only give the protagonist skills and guide him to practice and become stronger to fight strong enemies.
But the one Yugi met was a little different. His "grandfather" always personally took action in big and small things, fighting the BOSS himself, and fighting the small fish and bullying the weak. From beginning to end, he had nothing to do with the game at all...
However, it was not until the end that everyone realized that the power leveling seemed to be not as good as the boss.
The reason for hiring a power leveling was just because the boss was too lazy to play.
Or from another angle, it may be that everyone misunderstood.
In fact, Wang Yang is the protagonist, and his template is the reincarnation and re-cultivation style. The ultimate goal is to defeat the evil god of destruction that he failed to defeat in his previous life. And Muto Yugi is actually the grandfather...
At this time, after receiving a personal education from the Duel King, Kagurazaka's eyes lit up, as if he had found the direction to move forward.
"Thank you, Mr. Yugi!" He took a deep breath, stood up and said firmly, "I have learned it!"
You are a failure in learning. You Yu complained on the side.
Kid, you are not a reincarnation and you don't have a spirit behind you. It sounds like you are a failure in learning...
