Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"elder brother!"

Although she chose to support Caesar during the duel because of Judai's thoughts, when Fubuki was knocked out of her basic points by Caesar's [Armored Emperor Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark End Dragon] two consecutive attacks and flew backwards exaggeratedly, Asuka in the audience couldn't help but walked down eagerly to check on Fubuki's situation.

Fubuki was lying on the ground, looking weak, with her eyes closed, as if she didn't have the strength to open them. Seeing this, Asuka, who was approaching, couldn't help but jog anxiously.

Because he and Fubuki were "kidnapped" and brought to the [Light Realm] together in the [Light Realm War - Queen Madore], Misawa knew part of Fubuki's condition. Therefore, he was a little worried that the "special treatment" that the [Light Realm War - Queen Madore] gave to Fubuki was not effective, so he came to Fubuki's side and helped him up when he fell down.

However, after helping Fubuki up, Misawa's expression was a little strange as he looked at Fubuki, who was closing her eyes with great effort and in an unnatural manner. It was not even as if he was using much force when helping Fubuki up, and it did not look like he was helping up a person who had been knocked down. It was clearly Fubuki sitting up by herself.

"Asuka-san, Fubuki-senpai—"

Because there were two "Tenjoin" at the scene, Misawa called Asuka by name and was about to tell her what she had discovered. However, Fubuki raised her trembling hand with a difficult expression to block Misawa, signaling him not to continue: "No, I can still hold on, Yotsune-san."

Misawa's expression immediately turned cold the moment he heard Fubuki called his name wrong. He let go of Fubuki's hand and stopped caring about her condition. He walked back to the audience seats while cursing, "This is hell" and "I want to create a world where people can call me by my correct name."

However, unlike Misawa, Asuka didn't notice Fubuki's abnormality at all because of the angle. Instead, she thought he was just being stubborn because of what he said just now, "I can still hold on." She said worriedly, "Could it be that dark power?"

"It's not [Real Red Eyes]. I just didn't expect that Ryo would be so powerful." Fubuki forced her eyes open and looked at Asuka, smiling with difficulty, "I'm sorry, Asuka-chan, I lost the duel and didn't get to show you my brother's handsome appearance when he won the game."

"I may not have much time left. Can you agree to one of my requests, Asuka?" Looking at Asuka with hope in her eyes, Fubuki's voice became weaker and weaker. "If I do something wrong to make you angry in the future, can you forgive me and not be angry?"

"Hmm?" The atmosphere was gradually becoming sad, but when Asuka heard Fubuki's words, she was suddenly stunned. She didn't quite understand what he meant by "wrong thing".

Seeing Asuka's confusion, Fubuki immediately explained, "Because your brother is quite popular, if there are fans in the academy who admire me and pursue me, I can't refuse all their kindness, right? It would be normal for us to hug and kiss to show friendship, right?"

"But if any of my fans are sad or heartbroken because of this, Asuka, please don't think that I'm cheating and hurting other people's feelings. And don't say bad things about me in the girls' dormitory, especially to your dormitory head Ayukawa Emi-chan."

Subconsciously, Fubuki forgot to maintain her weak appearance and began to explain to Asuka quite energetically. Asuka's face gradually darkened as she watched her brother talking and gesticulating as if nothing had happened.

Behind Asuka, who had a dark face, Judai, who was also worried about Fubuki, followed and said strangely, "Come to think of it, I was a little confused just now. Isn't this a virtual world? And there is not even a fatigue system. Why did Fubuki look so weak after being knocked down?"

"Because, this guy is just pretending to be dead." Asuka pushed Fubuki away mercilessly, stood up with a dark face, looked down at Fubuki and said, "You actually took advantage of my concern for you? You are the worst brother in the world!"

Looking at the gloomy Asuka, Fubuki was horrified: "Hey, can we reconcile?"

"At this moment? Are you kidding me?"

"No, Asuka. What about the brother-sister relationship we've had for so many years? Are you just thinking about the happy times we spent together?"

"Wow, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Although there is no fatigue system in the world of "Duel-Links", the pain system has been fully restored. Judging from the experience of Asuka and Fubuki, the feeling of hitting someone or being hit is almost the same as in reality.

Asuka dragged Fubuki, who was just pretending to faint but now really fainted, back to the audience. Seeing Judai behind her, she tidied her hair behind her ears and showed Judai a helpless look: "Fubuki, this idiot, is really a troublemaker. You made a wasted trip because you were worried about him."

"No, it's nothing. I have to duel next anyway." Judai shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.

Hearing this, Asuka glanced at the other side. The victorious Caesar did not return to the audience seats or organize his deck. It seemed that he planned to use the deck on hand without making any adjustments to directly face the Tenth Generation in order to win consecutive games.

Duel Monsters may become a game in the future where players duel on motorcycles, skateboards, or even running on the highway, or an action duel where players jump up and down to pick up cards to use, but at least for now it is still a game where the two duelists stand on both sides of a field, draw cards, and then play them to win.

Although the movements are simple, due to the influence of multiple factors including the virtual impact simulation system, duel monsters consume much more physical strength than imagined. It is normal for people to be sweating and panting after a duel. However, compared with the physical consumption, the more important consumption is willpower and morale.

Except for the extremely rare situation where one loses a game of cards due to exhaustion, the physical strength consumed after a duel is far less than the morale boosted after winning. To compare it to a battle in Pokémon, a battle will certainly consume a certain amount of skill usage (PP) and health (HP), but duelists have the Plus version of the "overconfidence" feature, and defeating the opponent will increase all attributes by two levels. Therefore, although Caesar loses a certain amount of physical strength, he is in high spirits and can't wait to continue dueling with Judai.

But Judai is not much inferior. Caesar's interruption of Fubuki's duel also ignited his passion and fighting spirit, and his state is equally hot. In terms of looking forward to the duel with Caesar, he is no less than Caesar who is looking forward to the duel with him.

"It can continuously capture cards from the opponent's graveyard to become its own equipment card, increase its attack power, and perform multiple combos. It was not until the duel with you, Judai, that Caesar finally revealed this trump card." Asuka looked at Judai's deck with some concern, and said, "Its strong resistance to being affected by the opponent's activated cards almost completely restrains the power of the Hero monsters and trap cards that you are good at, Judai."

"It's unnecessary to mention the trap cards. I only put a 'little' amount of cards in the deck to assist the Heroes in battle." Judai corrected him seriously, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "But don't worry, the Heroes are very strong. I believe they can definitely create miracles."

"Just trust your cards. You don't need a reason to trust them."

"Well, I also believe that you can definitely win the duel, big brother!" Marufuji Sho, who also came with Judai, also expressed his trust and support for Judai. With a complicated look at Caesar who was ready, he turned to Judai and said, "Just like big brother believes in me, I also believe in you, my big brother!"

"Oh! What a cool line and realization, Sho!" Judai said with a smile, rubbing the blue hair of Marufuji Sho, who was a head shorter than him, affectionately, "Since you trust me so much, then I can only win the duel and defeat Caesar."

"Then we'll wait to see your duel, Judai." Nodding to Judai, Asuka and Marufuji Sho each held one of Fubuki's arms and left the field.

"Finally, it's time for the final battle." Manjomu was sitting and looking at the field, "The third year student, and perhaps the strongest student in the history of the Duel Academy, Marufuji Ryo, known as 'Caesar'."

"And the first-year student, Yuki Judai, who is arguably the strongest in the class." Looking at Judai, Daitokuji said with a smile, "If the school's news department were to report on this, I'm afraid the headline would be something like 'The Strongest in Modern Times VS The Strongest in History', right?"

"Those incomprehensible guys are really good at changing their attitudes. When Judai made it to the semifinals, the headline of the news was "Yuki Judai takes a place in the semifinals", but the news related to him before that was "The despicable first-year student defeated Yugi Muto", "The unspeakable dog is approaching the canteen", and "The monster from the red dormitory landed at the port."

Manjomu said with disdain, "They won't use that kind of serious title, but will try their best to report Judai's confidence in defeating Caesar and quote him again after he loses to publish some articles to take advantage of his misfortune. But if Judai wins, they will change their name to 'Yujo Judai-sama' again."

"It's obviously the news department, but they completely ignore the three characteristics of news - authenticity, accuracy, and timeliness." Maeda Hayato is a senior of Manjomu who is a first-year writer but actually skipped a grade and became a graduate. He knows what the news department is like better than him, and he also looks helpless, "Fortunately, I left school this year and don't have to read those yellow news anymore."

  "Aren't the three main characteristics of modern news fabricating stories, quoting out of context and inciting confrontation?" Sanze said with disdain. He couldn't stand those people in the news department the most. His name had not been confirmed in their weekly magazine after one year of enrollment. It was replaced with a new one after each issue, and he had never been right even once!

As he said this, Misawa subconsciously touched his arms again, and suddenly remembered that he had just given that thing to Judai.

The duel between Judai and Caesar is the final of the 2005 exchange competition of the Duel Academy. If the "Loki" mentioned by [Star Tree - Light Oak] wants to cause trouble, then this is the only time he can do it. And it might be better if Judai holds such a thing in the future.

Hayato, who heard several people discussing the school's news club, interrupted their conversation and said, "Don't worry, the school has actually been planning to rectify the bad clubs on campus, including the news club. Starting from next semester, all clubs on campus will be strictly investigated. That kind of Faker News should never appear again."

"In fact, if it weren't for the unscrupulous reporter named Yamiumimaru who entered your class last year, the news department wouldn't have such a bad atmosphere. I will go to his home to visit him during this holiday with the report he fabricated." As he spoke, Hayato glanced at one of the countless water curtains. The second-year student in the blue dormitory named "Yamiumimaru" didn't know that he would suffer after this holiday. He was still writing his fabricated article on the paper in his hand with great interest. "Who said this guy is also called Yamiumimaru? I thought Chawan was coming to kill him."

"By the way, the final duel is about to begin." In the card box on Hayato's waist, [Shadow of the King of War - Lopt] was imprisoned in the card sandwiched between [Summoner - Aleister] and [Water Sender of the Temple] on the left and right. Although he could speak, he could not appear beside Hayato at will like them. This reminded him, which means that he can at least continue to observe his surroundings.

On the field, looking at Judai who had finished communicating with Asuka and the others, Caesar took a step forward and stood at the position where he was at the beginning and said, "You made me wait so long, Judai. I have been waiting impatiently for the duel with you."

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated, Caesar? You're not so hungry and thirsty, are you?" Seeing the sneer on Caesar's face, Judai rubbed his nose nonchalantly and smiled brightly, "Although that's what I said, I seem to be a little excited."

"Right, you are also eager to fight, right? As expected, you are very similar to me, Judai." Caesar smiled happily, "Even though you are different from me who has realized that I deeply desire victory in my heart, and you haven't figured out why you enjoy duels so much, but our hunger is very similar."

"That's why only you, the duel with you, and the victory in the duel with you can bring me the greatest satisfaction, Yuki Judai!" Lifting the duel disk, Caesar could no longer suppress the joy and excitement in his heart, and laughed wildly, saying, "Sa, enjoy the duel to hell with me, and then decide who can taste the unparalleled pleasure of victory in the end!"

“Although I don’t quite understand what you are saying, Caesar.” Judai didn’t quite understand what Caesar said about why he didn’t see clearly why he enjoyed the duel, but his amazing wisdom led him to the conclusion that he should just rush forward with amazing strength. He also smiled and raised the duel disk and said, “I don’t want to lose to you because I have the trust of my partners.”

"Let's start the duel."

  Judai pulled a card from his deck, and Caesar did the same thing in sync, and they both shouted, "Duel!" X2
