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

"[Odd-Eyes Zero Dragon]'s effect! When this Xyz Summoned card is sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 [Odd-Eyes Monster] other than [Odd-Eyes Zero Dragon] from your Extra Deck!"

Break through the ice and burn fiercely! [Odd-eyed Meteorite Dragon]!

As the blue ice surrounding [Heterochromatic Zero Dragon] shattered, beams of red light shone through the cracks in the ice, along with blazing flames.

Finally, under a burst of bright red light, the solid ice covering [Odd-Eyed Zero Dragon] shattered completely, and emerging from it was [Odd-Eyed Meteor Dragon], clad in armor that burned like flames.

"This time it's your turn, [Heterochromatic Meteor Dragon]! [Meteor Roar], attack Zetsu directly!"

"Don't even think about it! When [Great Echo of the Valley] was destroyed in battle, it added another [Yo-Senmon Great Echo of the Valley] to my hand from my deck! Now, I'm activating the effect of Great Echo of the Valley in my hand again..."

"Impossible! [Odd-Eyes Meteor Dragon] cannot activate monster effects during the Battle Phase while it is in the Monster Zone!"

In other words, you can no longer Special Summon Echoes of the Great Abyss!

"What!?"

Upon hearing Yuya Sakaki's words, Sawatari was momentarily stunned, but the "ERROR" displayed on the Duel Disk screen on his wrist served as a stark reminder:

That's right, he can no longer summon the Great Valley Echo from his hand; and he's going to lose again this game.

Crimson flames spewed from the mouth of the Odd-Eyes Meteorite, and Zetsu's LP quickly dropped from 4000 to 1500 points under the scorching heat of the flames.

"The final blow is coming! [Heterochromatic Phantom Dragon], attack now!"

From the outstretched wings of the [Heterochromatic Phantom Dragon], endless rainbow light spewed out, dyeing the entire field with a rainbow-like radiance. And within this rainbow-like radiance, Zetsu's LP was completely reduced to zero.

"Winner, Sakaki Yuya!"

As Yuya Sakaki raised his hands to the audience after winning the official battle in the system's announcement, Sawatari's body slid to the ground.

He thought that this time, having obtained the Pendulum Card, he would finally have the power to defeat Yuya Sakaki, but in the end, he failed once again.

"You're pretty good, aren't you?"

Hearing the voice beside him, Sawatari looked up and realized that Sakaki Yuya had somehow appeared in front of him.

"I can actually deal with Zero Dragon by bouncing it back into my hand. I was thinking that even if Zero Dragon was destroyed, I could still Special Summon other [Odd-Eyes]..."

"By the way, what are you doing sitting on the floor? Come on, get up."

Looking at Yuya Sakaki's outstretched hand, Sawatari asked in a daze:

"Do you... really think I'm that great?"

"Of course!"

Hearing Sakaki Yuya's affirmative words, Sawatari's face regained its usual confident smile. He took Sakaki Yuya's outstretched hand, stood up, struck a pose, and said:

"I knew it! After all, I am the perfect duelist, NEO NEW Sawatari!"

Chapter 84 The Upcoming Dance Net Championship

"Yo, Yuya, not bad duel. You can now handle unfamiliar decks, even Pendulum decks, with ease. Well done."

As Yuya Sakaki stepped out of the dueling arena, he saw Soleva raise his hand to greet him, and immediately went to meet him with a smile:

"I also owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Soleva for his guidance. However, I didn't see you among the audience, so how did you manage to see my duel?"

"I was dragged to his office by some guy who was so confident he was almost arrogant. But there happened to be a video of your duel playing in his office, so I took a look."

Soreva's answer made Yuya Sakaki nod, but as for the "confident to the point of arrogance" guy Soreva mentioned, he had no interest in finding out.

"Let's go back to Yushojuku. It'll be a good time to celebrate your victory, Yuya, and it'll also be a good start to these four official matches."

"Oh!!!"

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

For the next few days, Soreva enjoyed a period of leisure, and his daily life became more regular.

Basically, he would accompany Yuya Sakaki in the morning and Sora Shionin in the afternoon to participate in the official tournament in order to qualify for the Maijin Tournament.

As for Hayabusa and Yuto, they were accompanied by Yuzu Hiiragi.

After Sora finished the formula battle, in the time before evening, it was Soreva's time to teach.

However, rather than teaching time, Soreva didn't really have much to teach them about dueling, so most of the time they found their own opponents and practiced dueling freely.

Of course, the members of Yushengjuku would also come to Soleva from time to time to open card packs, seeking breakthroughs in deck building.

However, gradually, during the process of opening card packs, Yusheng Academy split into two distinct factions.

One faction, represented by Hayabusa and Yuya, is the "lucky ones." Although their current opening results are not as impressive as Yuya Sakaki's initial success in acquiring several good cards in Soreva, they still get a lot of UR cards and good cards from their own faction every time they open a pack.

The other faction is the "unlucky" faction, led by Mitsutsu Masumi and Shiunin Sora. Every time they draw cards, not only are UR cards few, but they are also often not from the same clan.

All of this started because Mitsutsu Masumi was annoyed with Hayabusa, so she provoked him by using a lottery bag.

Given Hayabusa's temperament, he could tolerate Masumi Mitsutsu accusing him of assaulting Mr. Mark, but if she provoked him with other things, he would naturally retaliate.

So the two started a pack-opening showdown on Soleva's side, which later dragged everyone in the entire Yushojuku into it.

It was in the midst of this competition that everyone discovered the issue of luck in their card draws, ultimately splitting into two factions.

The result of this division into two factions is that whenever the two sides have a pack-opening showdown, the lucky side always wins.

However, hidden beneath the dazzling glory of the European champion lies an empty wallet.

According to what Soreva learned from Yuto, Hayabusa had to work several part-time jobs every night to cover the expenses of his card pack competitions with Mitsu Masumi, so that he could have the funds to buy card packs from Soreva.

Soreva said that he felt Falcon's expression had become increasingly gloomy lately, and that it was because he was tired!

Ultimately, for the sake of Falcon's health and to better prepare for the upcoming DanceNet Championship, Soreva resolutely chose to cut off Falcon's card pack supply.

However, this decision was made even more so by a single sentence from Mitsutsu Masumi, which made Hayabusa's expression grow increasingly grim:

"Oh? Looks like you can't afford to play anymore? No matter how lucky you are, there will always be a day when you can't afford to play anymore! Professor Soreva, give me and Ayu a card pack, it's on me!"

After pulling out a POS machine and accepting the girl's card payment, Soreva immediately announced to her with a gloomy face:

"This is the last card pack. Don't even think about opening any more card packs from me until the DanceNet Championship!"

Upon hearing such devastating news, Mitsutsu Masumi immediately began to play the victim in front of Soreva:

"Huh? Why?"

"You still ask why? Look at you, you've ruined your image by opening so many card packs! Shouldn't you be the arrogant elite type? Why are you acting all cute now!?"

And don't think I don't know! Whether it's the Gem Knight FTK deck I suggested, or a deck that maximizes the Gem Knight's extra functionality, you've almost finished building them. Those card packs you've opened lately, you've clearly been selling them to your classmates, haven't you?!

Hearing Soleva expose his secrets like this, Mitsutsu Masumi couldn't help but stick out her tongue before confidently saying:

"So what? My family has been merchants for generations, and my business acumen is inherited from my family!"

"Get lost, that trick won't work on me!"

Seeing that Soleva was so unyielding, Mitsu Masumi immediately changed her expression, took the card holder that Soleva had taken out, and turned around to share it with the three little ones and Sora.

Watching the group happily opening card packs, Soreva couldn't help but sigh, after all this commotion, their decks had really changed drastically.

Based on the cards that Soreva had previously rewarded him with, Yamashiro Tatsu discarded his previous deck and rebuilt a new Gear Gear deck.

Ayuya Ayukawa abandoned her previous plan to build a pure [Water Fairy] deck and, under Soreva's guidance, included cards with attributes such as [Frog] and [Burgess Beast].

Faced with Ayumi Ayukawa's deck, Soleva could only be thankful that the [Thunder Spirit] card pack hadn't been released in the MD yet, otherwise Ayumi Ayukawa's deck might have become even more exciting.

As for the chubby Harada Taishi, all Soleva can say is:

Since he's made up his mind to play with the Graffiti Beasts, what else can we do? The dinosaurs are all pretty much the same, so we'll just let him copy that set. As for how well he can play it, that's up to him.

And so, amidst the daily hustle and bustle, yet also the ordinariness of life, the DanceNet Championship began.

"Everyone actually participated in the DanceTennis Championship! I'm so excited!"

Shuzo Hiiragi, standing at the entrance of Yushojuku and about to see everyone off to the tennis tournament venue, already had tears welling up in his eyes.

However, just as he was about to say a few words of encouragement, he realized that the number of people in front of him was not quite right:

"1, 2, 3... Strange, all the students in the academy are here, but it still feels like there are fewer people... That's it!"

Looking around, Shuzo Hiiragi finally realized something was wrong. Everyone from Yushojuku was here, so why was Soleva the only one missing?

"Strange, why hasn't Mr. Soreva arrived yet? Is he still in bed?"

Upon hearing Shuzo Hiiragi's guess, Yuzu Hiiragi immediately rolled her eyes at him:

“Dad, you’re the one who’s sleeping in, aren’t you? Soreva said that the president of Lion Company, Akama Reiji, had something to do with him, so he went ahead without waiting for you.”

"Haha, I see. No problem, let's head towards the DanceTennis Championship! Oh!"

Seeing the awkward situation where no one responded to him, Shuzo Hiiragi quickly made a plea with a wry smile.

"Let's all cheer! It's such an important match, after all."

"Oh."

There was cheering, but not much.

Chapter 85: The Conspiracy Before the Opening

"Hey, the tennis tournament is about to start, and you, the president of Lion Corporation, still have the leisure to ask me to chat with you?"

Led by the Lion Company bodyguards, Soreva arrived at the room where Akaba Reiji was. As soon as he opened the door, he started teasing her.

However, upon opening the door and seeing the scene inside the room, Soreva was suddenly taken aback.

In the room at this moment, besides Reiji Akaba and Mika Akaba, whom Soleva already knew, there was a small figure hiding his face under a hood. Upon seeing Soleva enter the room, he grabbed Reiji Akaba's trouser leg and hid behind her.

"This child is..."

"Ah, this child is my younger brother, Lingluo. But he's a little shy, please forgive him. Come on, Lingluo, say hello."

Feeling his brother pat his back, Zero mustered his courage and released Akama Reiji's trouser leg, timidly walking over and raising his head towards Soreva:

"You, hello."

Soreva was taken aback when he saw Zero's face hidden under the hood. After all, his delicate features looked more like a girl's than a boy's.

But soon, Soreva half-squatted down and greeted Zero with a smile:

"Oh, hello there, little Lingluo."

When Soleva greeted him, Zero initially just nodded blankly, but then, as if he had seen something terrifying, he quickly hid behind Akama Reiji.
