In this world where everyone is a dueling brain

Keiji gently placed the card on the table——

"Exclude the Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon."

Both Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon and Abyssal Blue-Eyes Dragon are cards whose effects can only be activated when Blue-Eyes White Dragon is on the field or in the graveyard.

Especially the Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon, which will always appear after the cards on the field are destroyed. It is a little troublesome, so let's solve it once and for all.

"Then, remove the light and dark monsters in the graveyard, and special summon Thunder Dragon - Thunder Dragon."

Now, his hand is zero.

"Activate the effect of the Destiny Hero Divine Man in the graveyard, and draw two cards from the deck."

Compared to Kaiba Xi's exhaustion, Keiji operated calmly. He drew another card from the graveyard:

"Then, activate the effect of Thunder Dragon Fusion in the Graveyard, and add a Thunder Dragon card from the deck to your hand."

The flower baroness, the three-body thunder dragon, the thunder dragon, and the torture giant given by Haimaxi.

The battle begins.

Kaimaxi's field is blue-eyed white dragon, ancient dragon, temple guardian in defense mode, and the ancestor god of the maelstrom in attack mode, while Huiji has a total of six monsters on the field.

Even if there is the Gospel of Resurrection in the cemetery, all monsters on the hippocampus field will be destroyed.

For the first time, the ancient dragon was destroyed.

Immediately after the second time, the ancestor god of the giant vortex was destroyed.

Haimaxi suffered 700 basic points of damage, leaving only 100 HP.

"Do you still need me to explain the situation of the battle one by one?"

Keiji smiled.

Next, his monsters will destroy all of Haimaxi's monsters, and her basic points will also be cleared.

There is no need to explain any further, this duel is over.

At this moment, Haimaxi suddenly said:

"Noisy..."

Teruji was stunned in front of her for a moment, but quickly recovered his calm expression.

He watched Hai Maxi raise his head little by little, and at some point he was already staring at him——

"...You are just a phantom of the past."

Although her blue eyes were looking at Kouji, they didn't seem to be looking at him. Although they were as cold as before, some of the persistence she had just faded away.

Keiji looked a little confused:

"phantom?"

He didn't understand what Haimaxi meant, but there was nothing he could do, so he just obeyed.

"However, now you are going to lose to Phantom, is that okay?"

Keuji smiled gently.

Just as in memory, unpleasant and irritating.

I don't know when it started, her hands stopped shaking, her blue eyes became brighter, she no longer looked at Kouji, but at the card table.

"not good."

Haimaxi replied briefly.

Once, her time stood still here.

It was just a very ordinary duel. It had nothing to do with victory or defeat, or right or wrong. It was just her past obsession.

Haimaxi's hand gently sent his blue-eyed white dragon to the cemetery——

"So, I'm not going to stop here."

Then, she took a card from her hand.

"When one of your monsters is destroyed, activate the effect of the Awakening Dragon in your hand."

This is the second Monster Awakening Dragon drawn from the deck using the effect of the Chaos Domain before this. This card can also activate the effect in the hand.

"This card is Special Summoned."

Keiji shook his head:

"However, the effect of the skill extraction and the effect of the Awakening Dragon are nullified."

Haimaxi didn't care:

"But, therefore, block the final blow with this card."

Kouji didn't answer, but used the last Thunder God Dragon on the field to attack the Demon Awakening Dragon who was on defense.

The attack is over, except when the Yaoxinglong leaves the field, but Haimaxi still has 100 basic points left.

She hasn't lost yet.

"…………"

In the ward, Keiji, who was remembering, did not speak, but remained silent for a while.

I don't know how long this silence lasted until there was the sound of rain outside the window.

Kouji looked out of the window, watching those false images gradually fade away, he seemed to realize something, then slowly turned his head and stared at Hai Maxi.

The crackling sound did not know when it sounded.

The walls and floors gradually shattered and lost their original color, while raindrops gradually penetrated into the ceiling and fell to the ground.

The phantoms in memory gradually moved away, and the storm and the duel field reappeared.

When the sky turned into gray rain again, Hai Maxi also stood up again.

The fragments landed on her hands, and quickly turned into shattered rays of light...

The dream is over.

And everything became reality again.

In this duel field, on the other side of the gray curtain, Keiji's figure reappeared.

Behind Kouji, the monster reappeared in the rain curtain, the thunder light shone on the dark clouds and haze, and in this heavy rain, the blue three-headed dragon covered the sky, watching Kai Maxi quietly and coldly.

Hai Maxi also looked at the gray sky, and was in a daze for a while, until the cold raindrops fell on his body, and then he came back from all this.

"...I won't stop here."

She repeated what she had said before.

I tried to shake hands, and I can hold on for a while.

Kaiba Xi gently pulled up his wet forehead, revealing his pale face, staring at Keiji from a distance——

"If you too..."

Just let the past stay in the past.

She said calmly:

"Now, let me take you back."

Although brother ① one hundred and nine Zhang cobalt blue chant 2

In Haimaxi's memory, her luck has always been very bad. She often fell down for no reason, was hit on the head by a ball on the side of the road, it always rained when she went out, and all kinds of strange things happened.

As long as luck is involved, she has never been successful.

Except when dueling.

The card will not reject her, but will respond to her when she needs it.

After qualifying as an official duelist for the first time, she received the most meaningful gift in her life.

It was a card named "Mixed Origin Dragon", a unique dragon designed by Haima Company for her.

From then on, like everyone in the Kaiba family, she had a dream that was not too far away, to become the strongest duelist and the strongest dragon user.

As the heir to the Kaiba family, she has become a powerful duelist just as everyone expected. She is more talented than her brother and is the undoubted heir to the next generation.

But that's not what she wanted.

The blue-eyed white dragon is the strongest dragon, and the duelist with blue eyes is also the strongest dragon envoy.

She doesn't think so.

She respects Blue Eyes, and Blue Eyes means a lot to her, but she is not a replica or a phantom of her ancestor Seto Kaiba, and Blue Eyes White Dragon is not her own dragon.

Qingyan's strength does not belong to him, and it is not the strongest he wants.

She wants to go beyond the phantom of the past with her dragon.

There is no doubt that when she said that, everyone who originally recognized her and supported her became contrary to her.

No one thinks that she can surpass Seto Kaiba, and no one thinks that there is a dragon that can surpass Blue Eyes.

——But, at that time, there was someone who recognized her dream.

………………

Haimaxi raised his head, looked at the gray raindrops falling from the sky, and looked at the blue three-headed dragon in the sky. The cold feeling kept touching his skin, as if telling the countdown of life.

Everything here is a phantom of the past constructed by the data storm, a fragment of memory, and now she and Keiji are trapped here.

"The round is over."

Kouji declared the end of the round.

Haimaxi's field was empty, with only 100 basic points left, like a candle in the wind, and only one card in his hand, which was retrieved from the Chaos Domain.

In the face of skill extraction, this remaining card becomes meaningless.

The duel was about to end with yet another defeat for her.

She is always doing things that others think are inexplicable.

Why on earth...she came here.

Come to the past memory, record the duel field where she failed, and conduct a duel here that may no longer be meaningful.

The memory of the past gradually became clear, and her opponent's figure was reflected in her eyes.

Now, she probably thinks clearly why she is so obsessed with coming here.

If she doesn't come back here and start over from here, then she can't move forward.

Her dream starts here.

Because, she wanted that person to witness the realization of her dream.

The rain slowly washed away the dust and sand on her face. In this dim gray, only those blue eyes were still clear——

"I haven't forgotten... I will not fall until I become the strongest dragon user."

Haimaxi spoke calmly, then looked at his deck, and slowly put his fingers over the top of the deck.

Raindrops slipped from the ends of her hair and landed on her fingertips.

She lowered her head:

"So, you too."

Pressing the card with his fingertips, he pulled it out, and with the sound of the card cutting through the rain, Hai Maxi pulled out the card.

This duel cannot determine the outcome of the two of them now.

It's just ending the past that should have been gone long ago.

Therefore, she will not stop here, and neither will Keiji.

She looked at the card she had drawn.

"Woyan Huiji, you are not someone who will stop at the past."

Now, she and Kouji no longer have the meaning of clinging to this place, and it would only look ridiculous if they continued to stay here and engage in a duel.
