A true Duelist should have the composure to not change their expression even if Mount Tai were to collapse before them. No matter what situation they faced, they should be calm and collected, and must not let impulse take over and affect their rational judgment.
Sato Koji was closing his eyes, constantly taking deep breaths, and repeatedly trying to remind himself of this ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) -
-Hitting people is a foul.

Because it was really a little difficult to remember this point when facing this brat in front of him.
With nothing he could do with the remaining two cards in his hand, Sato Koji could only gnash his teeth and declare the end of his turn. Then it was You Xuan's turn again, and the happy time began again.
"Draw." You Xuan drew a card from the deck.

At this time, Sato Koji's field was clean, like a little girl seducing people to commit crimes. In this era where Yu-Gi-Oh! had not been poisoned by a flood of hand traps, an empty field was basically the same as running naked. It was a situation where you could knock the opponent down and do whatever you wanted without any psychological burden.
So You Xuan didn't say much and directly played the monster card he had just drawn.
"Summon in attack position - 'Commander Sargas'!"

The battle-hardened one-eyed warrior came to You Xuan's field. One of his eyes was covered with an eyepatch.
[Commander Sargas, ATK 1400]
"Direct attack." You Xuan ordered, "Commander Sargas, direct attack on the player."

The warrior took the order and directly took out two revolvers, transforming into Yan Shuangying and firing pa pa pa. A string of projection bullets pierced through Koji's body, and the invisible impact made him stagger back half a step.
In the latest dueling system developed by Kaiba Corporation, the monsters summoned by the Duel Disk were not just holographic projections, but also had a tactile impact device. Although it would not cause real damage to the duelist, it was enough to simulate realistic impacts and certain pain stimuli to enhance the immersive experience of the duel.
[Koji, LP 4000 → LP 2600]

He took a deep breath after taking the direct damage.
Fortunately, it was just a trash monster with 1400 attack points. He could still withstand it...
But then he saw You Xuan smile: "The effect of 'Commander Sargas' activates. When this card inflicts battle damage to the opponent, I can choose one of two effects to activate.

First, the opponent randomly discards one card from their hand.
Second, the opponent sends the top two cards from their deck to the graveyard."
Koji's eyelids jumped.
"Wait, don't tell me you're going to... you're going to..."

His face began to twist, his expression gradually turning fearful, and his body retreated uncontrollably under the drive of instinct.
"That's right, I choose to activate effect one," You Xuan said, "to annihilate another card from your hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sargas had raised his revolver. With a bang, a projection hole appeared on one of the two cards left in Koji's hand.

Koji gritted his teeth and sent another card to the graveyard, his eyes tearing apart.
Now he only had one card left...
This wasn't the only card game he had ever lost, and the opponent wasn't the most powerful one he had ever encountered.

But this was definitely the card game he wanted to hit someone the most...
He had played up until now and didn't even manage to play a single card, can you believe it?
"I set two more cards on the field and end my turn."

You Xuan added two more set cards to his back row.
This time when Koji saw the two extra abyss-like face-down cards, his attitude was completely different from the contempt he had shown before, and his breathing almost stagnated.
Again? No way?

Please let me play a card...
It was obvious that the situation had exceeded the expectations of the surrounding crowd. The apprentices on both sides were looking at each other, their faces all showing an expression of being completely confused.
This duel... how to say it?

It felt very strange, very strange.
Did you want to see fast-paced offense and defense and the battle of power? No, there was only an underworld person preparing to mess with your mentality.
Did you want to see high-speed summons and gorgeous big monsters? No, there was only an underworld person who looked satisfied after messing with your mentality.

Anyway, this card game had been played until now, and one side hadn't been able to play a single card, so there was no tactic to analyze or evaluate. And the one who played the card had every step and every card seemingly貫穿 [*guanchuan - penetrate] by two words -
-Revenge on Society.
That is, to take revenge on society.

This guy didn't summon a monster to attack the opponent's life points at all. The entire operation seemed to be silently declaring, "I may not win, but you definitely can't play Yu-Gi-Oh! today."
Wasn't that taking revenge on society?
"Junior Apprentice, it's not right for you to duel like this..."

Koji tried hard to maintain the image of a gentle senior, but his twitching facial muscles and trembling voice seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.
You Xuan smiled and didn't say anything, very politely making a "please" gesture, hinting that it was his turn to play Yu-Gi-Oh! again.
That being said, card players knew that Yu-Gi-Oh! was a very cruel game. It was enough as long as one side could play.

Koji reluctantly raised the Duel Disk again.
"Then... then it's my turn..."
He gritted his teeth.

He had only one card left in his hand, and it was a Trap Card that couldn't be activated as long as he didn't control a monster, so it clearly had no use.
This was the draw that would determine his fate.
But a real duelist would never give up. Just like the King of Games Yugi Muto said, believe in your deck, and your deck will respond to you.

He believed in the bond between himself and his deck!
Sato Koji put his fingers on the deck, murmuring in his heart while taking a deep breath.
Aki Pear paste! [Note: A Chinese medicine used for coughs, often shouted as a desperate wish] Give me a four-star monster!

Then it was a draw that seemed to be infused with his soul, drawing a handsome arc.
The moment Sato Koji glanced at the card he had drawn, his pupils shook, and he almost laughed wildly.
It came!

Not only did he draw a monster that could be summoned, but it was also "Mystical Beast Cerberus," a four-star monster with 1400 attack power. Just enough to be a more well-rounded choice at 1850 ATK than the monsters being chased more after with 1800, hitting that level of having ATK that just barely scratched that meta! His strongest small monster in his deck that had the required attack points!
Sure enough, the deck responded to his heart!
However, just as Koji's mouth hooked into an arc, as if the horn of counterattack was about to begin.

When he looked up and saw a set card that had been flipped open on the opponent's backfield, his smile instantly froze.
Trap Card - Drop Off, second copy.
Activate during the opponent's draw phase. Discard the card that the opponent drew directly to the graveyard.

Sato Koji: "............"
"According to the effect of Drop Off," You Xuan said politely, "please discard that card as well."
Koji's lips were almost bitten bloody. With a ferocious expression, he threw the key card to turn the tables, "Mystical Beast Cerberus," into the graveyard. He looked down and saw that he only had that one orphan of an Equip Spell in his hand...

"Turn... turn end." Koji muttered gloomily.
"Then it's my turn... Draw."
This time when Koji drew the card, he didn't even bother to look at what he had drawn. Instead, his eyes were fixed on You Xuan's backfield.

It was like he was asking, "There's no trap, right?
Then I'll draw a card? I'm really drawing?"
You Xuan smiled and signaled him to pass.

Finally having struggled through the Draw Phase and entered the Standby Phase of this turn, Sato Koji almost cried.
In the past, he probably couldn't have even imagined that drawing a card was such a luxurious happiness.
Looking at the card he had drawn in his hand again, his heart lifted even more.

Fiend comedian, four stars, attack power 1600.
It was normally just an ordinary monster, but its 1600 attack power could save his life at this moment. Because although Commander Sargas's effect was disgusting, his attack power was only 1400.
He could finally take down the card that was throwing his hand into the graveyard every turn!

Sato Koji couldn't wait: "I summon 'Fiend comedian' in attack position to attack 'Commander Sargas'! Let me beat him up, go die..."
"Don't be excited, don't be excited, buddy, calm down, dueling should be fun."
You Xuan reminded him with a smile.

"And don't be anxious yet, it hasn't even reached the Battle Phase yet. Because at the moment just now, I activated the Trap Card."
He pointed to a set card on the backfield.
"Trap Card - Compulsory Evacuation Device. Return one monster on the field to its owner's hand.

I'm going to return 'Fiend Comedian' to your hand."
The trap took effect. The cursed puppet carrying the axe hadn't even stood still before it turned into a golden light and flew back to Sato Koji's hand.
Sato Koji: "............"

This was his only card in his hand.
And he had just used up his only Normal Summon opportunity this turn.
So obviously, he had no cards to play.

What was about to happen next was obvious. He couldn't do anything but end his turn, and then that bastard Sargas would attack him again and discard his last card...
...Oh no, he wouldn't even have to wait until that time. Because his LP only had 1200 left, and he would lose after another attack.
However, You Xuan ultimately failed to reduce Sato Koji's LP to zero.

Because before the next turn arrived...
...Sato Koji was forcibly pulled away by the surrounding students because he tried to directly attack the opposing duelist during the duel, losing his qualifications and being directly judged to have lost.
