Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

"This external hard drive contains the program from a new student's duel disk in our Yusheng Academy. After I played against him, I discovered that his duel disk was faulty, so I secretly copied it."

However, besides discovering the tampering he made with the dueling program, there are a few extra programs whose purpose I really can't figure out. Therefore, I hope to use LDS to see if we can crack these programs and understand their purpose.

Soleva's words made Reiji Akaba's expression turn serious. Such manipulation of the Duel Disk was not something an ordinary person could easily accomplish. Reiji keenly sensed something amiss:

“Mr. Soreva, could you tell me about that new student at your Yusheng Academy? I think there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this.”

To be honest, Soreva felt the same way. After all, could a boy of Shiunin Sora's age really do something like that? He really had to be called a prodigy.

"Well, that student's name is Shiyunin Sora, and the deck he uses is the [Magical Toy] deck, which focuses on fusion. As for his background, we don't really know much about it. It was after our Yusho Juku's Yuya was harassed at your LDS that he came to our Yusho Juku because of a duel."

Listening to Soreva's introduction, Akaba Reiji nodded repeatedly:

Very good. A fusion deck with an unknown origin, first appearing in LDS, and the Duel Disk was tampered with. With all these elements combined, there is no doubt that this Shiyunin Sora is definitely related to that man!

Reiji Akama didn't know whether he should thank Yushojuku or not. After all, if they hadn't lured away Susara Shionin, this person could very well have been a spy sent by that man, and the damage to LDS's plans would have been immeasurable.

"I understand. Our LDS team will do our best to crack these programs."

Respectfully accepting the portable hard drive, Akama Reiji knew that if the contents of the hard drive were cracked, he might have the ability to stop that man's plan.

"Alright, now that we've finished discussing this matter, here's the last request: if you successfully create a new Duel Disk that supports Link Summoning, we hope you can provide the latest finished product to Yushojuku."

"This... is no problem."

Having received a positive answer from Akaba Reiji, Soreva pulled out another portable hard drive and handed it over:

"Well then, here is the new Duel Disk program I can provide, along with some information about the link cards. I hope we can work together successfully."

Seeing the portable hard drive Soreva handed over and his outstretched hand, Akaba Reiji took the hard drive and shook hands with Soreva, but this time it wasn't as perfunctory as before:

"Pleasant to work with."

After finishing the last bit of coffee in his cup, Soleva could still see a glimpse of the Yusheng Academy through the window of the private room. He stood up and walked out of the room.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Thank you both for the coffee today, but please don't bother seeing me off."

As he spoke, Soreva walked out of the private room and closed the door behind him for Akaba Himika and Akaba Reiji.

“Mother, let’s go back too. It seems that both LDS and Lion Company will be very busy for a while.”

"Yes, I trust your decision."

........................

"Ah, Mr. Sorewa, you're back!"

Seeing Soleva return, Yuzu Hiiragi, who had just stepped out of the Yushojuku, greeted him with a big smile.

"Dad said that you, Mr. Sorewa, just had a talk with the chairman of LDS. I wonder what you talked about? How did it go?"

Seeing Yuzu's expectant look, Soleva suddenly felt like teasing her and immediately said with a smile:

"Just now... it seems that Ms. Akama Himika was planning to poach me to LDS, so..."

"No!"

Yuzu looked at Soleva in disbelief, but when she saw Soleva nod seriously, her heart sank.

"If LDS were to poach Mr. Soreva, the offer would probably be quite good, right?"

Soreva nodded in agreement, stating the facts as they were:

"It's really great. I used to only see that much money in my dreams. I even wanted to say yes back then."

This startled Yuzu, who immediately stood in front of Soleva, tightly gripping his hands and saying:

“Mr. Sorewa! Although, although our Yushojuku doesn’t have as much money as LDS, we still hope you can stay. Everyone at Yushojuku likes you very much, please…”

Seeing Hiiragi Yuzu looking so frightened she was almost crying, Zero, who was floating beside Soreva, suddenly felt a pang of discomfort for some reason and gently tapped Soreva on the head:

"Okay, stop scaring her."

What could Soleva do? He could only sigh and comfort Yuzu:

"Okay, Yuzu, don't worry, I didn't agree to LDS."

"Really, really?"

Wiping away the tears that were about to fall from Hiiragi Yuzu's eyes, Soreva reached out and gently patted Hiiragi Yuzu's head:

"Honestly, although I almost agreed when I saw so much money, I held back when I thought about you lovely students. How about that? Aren't you impressed with me?"

Upon hearing Soleva's flippant remark, Yuzu Hiiragi instantly burst into laughter through her tears, shouting as if in a fit of pique:

"I don't admire you at all! Mr. Sorewa, I hate teachers who deliberately scare people like you!"

Chapter 60 The Attacker in the Night

This time, Yushojuku was able to overcome the crisis of LDS's acquisition and even made a fortune from LDS. As a result, Shuzo Hiiragi was so excited that he treated the entire Yushojuku to a big meal that night, allowing everyone to enjoy a hearty and satisfying meal.

"Mmm...I'm so full!"

"That's right! It's rare for the headmaster to be so generous!"

"Of course! This is a momentous day for our Yusheng Academy as we defeat LDS! From this day forward, our Yusheng Academy will surely soar to new heights!"

Yu Shengju and his group walked out of the restaurant noisily. The sense of crisis they had felt under LDS oppression was no longer on their faces.

Even Soreva, who doesn't drink much, couldn't resist Shuzo Hiiragi's persuasion and drank a few cups, his face turning red from the smell of alcohol.

"Well then, see you tomorrow, Professor Soreva!"

As the three little ones waved goodbye to him, Soreva's brows furrowed instantly:

"No, it's too late for you kids to go home by yourselves. I'll take you home myself."

Soreva took a step, but even that step was unsteady due to the slight intoxication of the alcohol. Shuzo Hiiragi, however, was more experienced and immediately noticed that Soreva was somewhat drunk. He quickly supported Soreva, saying:

"No, no, no, Mr. Sorewa, it's the same if I take them back, is that alright?"

"Alright then, I won't trouble you any further, Mr. Shuzo Hiiragi."

Slightly drunk, Soreva felt that what Shuzo Hiiragi said made sense, so he nodded and tried to lift himself up from Shuzo Hiiragi's arm.

However, Shuzo Hiiragi was really worried about Soleva's drunken state, so he quickly pulled Yuzu Hiiragi aside and gave her some instructions:

“Yuzu, Mr. Soleva looks a bit drunk. Could you help him up and take him back to Yusheng Academy?”

Yuzu nodded, but at the same time, she rolled her eyes at Shuzo Hiiragi with a helpless look:

“Dad, who do you think is to blame? Mr. Soreva said he couldn’t hold his liquor anymore, and you still urged him to drink.”

Shuzo Hiiragi could only manage a wry smile in response:

“I didn’t know he could drink so little; he got this drunk after just a few drinks. Alright, I’ll go take Ayu and Taishi home. You take Mr. Sorewa back to the academy.”

After saying that, Shuzo Hiiragi turned around as fast as he could and pulled the three little ones up, as if he was afraid of being complained about by Yuzu Hiiragi.

Seeing this, Hiiragi Yuzu could only sigh and help Soleva walk towards the direction of Yushojuku.

As for Sakaki Yuya and Shiunin Sora? Those two had already run towards Sakaki Yuya's house long ago!

"I'm sorry, Yuzu, I shouldn't have been drinking today. Thank you for your help."

The night breeze is always quite cool. Under the cool evening breeze, Soreva's mind, which had been somewhat hazy from being drunk, cleared up a bit, and he apologized to Hiiragi Yuzu.

After hearing Soleva's apology, Yuzu Hiiragi simply smiled and said:

“No, it’s all Dad’s fault. Mr. Soreva doesn’t drink, but he kept making you drink. Besides, Mr. Soreva has taught us so much, so it’s only right that I help him out.”

"That's true, but it must be tiring for you, a little girl, to help me back. You should rest first."

As he spoke, Soleva reached out and held onto the wall to steady himself. Although Yuzu wasn't very tired yet, she knew it was Soleva's good intention, so she let go and allowed Soleva to lean against the wall.

"call……"

Taking a heavy breath, Soreva wanted to say something to Hiiragi Yuzu, but for a moment his alcohol-numbed brain couldn't think of anything to say.

But just then, a strange sound entered his ears, giving him an inspiration:

"Yuzu, did you hear that? It sounds like a duel."

Just when Soreva thought he was only joking, Yuzu Hiiragi unexpectedly nodded and pointed to a small alley not far from Soreva, saying:

"I heard it too, it sounded like the dueling was coming from there."

Surely not? In the middle of the night, would someone really be dueling in this kind of alley?

Just as Soreva was about to say that, another scream suddenly rang out from the alley:

"Wow ah ah ah!!!"

"It looks pretty intense, Mr. Sorewa, let's go check it out!"

With that, Yuzu helped Soleva up, and the two of them ran together toward the alley.

However, just as Hiiragi Yuzu and Soleva arrived at the alley entrance, a person crashed heavily in front of them. Before they could even see the person's face clearly, a blinding white light flashed from the depths of the alley, so bright that the two had to cover their eyes.

But when the two removed their hands and looked again, the person from before was gone, leaving only a card in front of them.

"This is……"

Hiiragi Yuzu reached out and picked up the card, turned it around, and saw its true form. She was instantly stunned.

This card is so different from the cards that Hiiragi Yuzu is familiar with. Although it has the orange background of a monster card, it has no name, effect, or stars that symbolize its level. There is only a man with a fearful expression on the card.

Soreva, however, immediately guessed what was going on and glared angrily at the mysterious figure, whose silhouette was almost invisible, deep in the alley:

"Who are you?! How could you seal someone inside a card using Dark Duel?!"

"Although I did seal him in a card, this is not some kind of dark duel."

As the voices and footsteps drew closer, the man gradually emerged from the darkness of the alley and walked into the light of the streetlights.

"This is revenge!"

Squinting, the man adjusted to the light of the streetlights before he began to recognize the two uninvited guests standing in the shadows. But after only a couple of breaths, his breathing became rapid, because he seemed to see his long-lost sister.

"Liuli! Are you alright?"

Hearing Soleva reveal that the person who had just landed in front of her was sealed in a card had already shocked Hiiragi Yuzu. Now, seeing the person wearing a dark blue trench coat that was almost black, with glasses and a mask covering their true face, approaching her, Hiiragi Yuzu's fear instinctively made her want to back away.

She forgot that she was still carrying Soreva, and when she stepped back, she almost pulled Soreva down onto her. Fortunately, Soreva managed to steady herself in time.

"Yuzu, calm down."
