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

As they were talking, Akama Reiji suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Why does he need to use this card to break the deadlock?

Isn't it because Soleva discarded a [G of Multiplication] at the beginning, forcing him to use up all his hand resources and only create an ugly compromise board, which Soleva then destroyed, leaving him with nothing? That's why he had to resort to this tactic.

Ultimately, this is clearly an exhibition match, so why did you use the [Proliferating G] card, which is so annoying?

“Mr. Soreva, can you explain why you used [Proliferate G] at the very beginning of my turn?”

Seeing Akama Reiji's cold face as he approached step by step, Soreva's face instantly turned pale, and he scratched his face, trying to explain himself:

"Uh... well... it's a habit, it just became a routine. But I've also reflected on it! So that turn I threw all the cards like Sword of the Heart and Ash Blossom to the graveyard!"

With a sigh, Akama Reiji knew that it was too late to say anything now. This exhibition match showcasing the charm of two summoning methods had probably been completely ruined by their actions—one casually using a card, and the other self-destructing an unfinished one.

"But what was the meaning of that last card you flipped over? Why didn't you just watch me clear my LP and win? Why go through all that trouble?"

Seeing Reiji Akaba's questioning gaze, Soreva chuckled:

"Is it unnecessary? I didn't activate any effects when I opened the card. Can you imagine what the audience would think?"

"Are you trying to cover up my mistake by making everyone think I lost because of that trap card? That's such a clumsy way to cover it up!"

Seeing that Akaba Reiji was so blunt in belittling his method of concealment, Soreva immediately put on a deadpan expression:

"Even the worst of it is better than you, the youngest professional duelist and president of Lion Corporation, making a scandal by admitting you lost an exhibition match due to a mistake."

Having said that, Soreva turned and left, prompting Akama Reiji to ask a question:

"Where are you going?"

"Of course I need to go find my lovely students and help them figure out how to arrange the upcoming matches."

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

"Hey, how's everyone's schedule coming up?"

Upon seeing Soleva approaching them with greetings, the members of the Yusheng Academy eagerly surrounded him.

"Yes, most people's matches are tomorrow, only Taishi, Ayu and I have them today."

"So our mission today is to cheer for Taishi, Ayu, and Yuzu!"

"That's right!"

In response to this situation, Soreva also offered encouragement to the three players who were about to compete in his own way:

"Yuzu, keep going! Believe in yourself!"

"As for Ayu-chan... if she makes good use of this deck's strength, she should have no problem."

"As for Taizhi-kun... go a little lighter, don't make the other kids cry."

Soreva's encouragement infuriated Yuzu Hiiragi, who immediately slapped Soreva on the head with her paper fan.

"What?! Why are you being 'gentle' with Taishi-kun but 'good luck' with me? Do you think I'm not as good as Taishi-kun?"

Soreva was speechless.

Because of the competitive spirit sparked by a certain wealthy young woman some time ago, the decks of the Yusheng Academy members are almost all fully upgraded, which has resulted in a significant difference in the strength of the decks of the three participants today.

Taishi's current Graffiti Beast deck is more like a dinosaur deck mixed with Graffiti Beasts, and it's already a very strong competitive deck.

Ayumi Ayukawa's current deck is mainly based on Water Rank 2 and Link decks. Although it is more for fun, it still has some competitive aspects thanks to the Frog in the deck, which was kindly provided by Soleva due to its impending ban.

Therefore, among the three, the most entertaining deck is Hiiragi Yuzu's Illusionary Deck.

Unfortunately, Taishi and Ayu, who participated in the junior group competition, were destined to face opponents who were much weaker than the opponents of Hiiragi Yuzu in the junior group.

Therefore, in Soreva's opinion, the one who needs the most encouragement is Yuzu Hiiragi.

Chapter 91 The duel is imminent, Zero Luo's abnormality

"Tsk, this scene is truly cruel."

Watching Harada Taishi command his [Ultimate Dermon] and [Doodlemon - Tyrannosaurus] to launch attacks one after another, directly wiping out the opponent's LP, Soleva couldn't help but click his tongue.

Sending these kids to compete in junior tournaments with this kind of deck is like dropping a nuclear bomb in the age of cold weapons.

Hopefully, this smiling young Shimizu Takeshi from the Duel Academy won't suffer any psychological trauma.

"Ayu-chan, your match is next, right? Who's your opponent?"

"Oh, let me see..."

Picking up her Duel Disk, which already had her login card inserted, Ayumi Ayukawa looked at the information on the display screen and began answering Soleva's question.

"It seems to be LDS's opponent, and their name is... Zero Luo?"

"Huh? Zero Luo?"

Upon hearing the name, Soleva was taken aback. He quickly moved closer to Ayumi Ayukawa and saw the face of the child he had just met that day displayed on her Duel Disk screen.

"It really is him..."

"Mr. Soreva, do you know this Mr. Zero Luo?"

Seeing Soleva's reaction, the members of Yushojuku gathered around, and Sakaki Yuya even asked Soleva a question directly.

"Well, we met this morning. Don't underestimate this kid; he's the younger brother of President Akaba Reiji."

Upon hearing Soreva's answer, the children immediately became excited:

"Oh, I didn't expect him to be Reiji Akaba's younger brother! You have to beat him, Ayu! Just like how Teacher Sorewa defeated Reiji Akaba in the match!"

"Hmm, we need to be careful. If it's the younger brother of that youngest professional duelist, he might be a very formidable opponent."

"Of course! I'm really good!"

The junior group competition was not far because the participants were all children. The group from Yusheng Academy escorted Ayu for only a few steps before arriving at her next competition venue.

Ayu Ayukawa's parents had also arrived near the competition venue. However, while Ayu's mother politely greeted Shuzo Hiiragi, her father was holding a camera and taking pictures of Ayu with a doting expression.

Even though Ayu's mother complained about Ayu's father's rude behavior of not even saying hello, the harmonious atmosphere of their family with Ayu brought a faint smile to the face of even Hayabusa, who was usually stern.

But in comparison, the sight of Zero Rona, who was hiding under his hood, carrying a teddy bear and standing alone, made Soreva sigh.

"Zero, didn't Zero and Ms. Rimi come to keep you company?"

The sound reached his ears, and the timid Ling Luo instinctively wanted to hide behind someone, but looking around, he couldn't think of anyone he knew to hide from.

Oh, apart from the person in front of him who took the initiative to ask him questions, he did know them.

"My brother said that the research on the Link Monster Cards is not yet complete, so he's going back to Lion Corporation first."

This reason made Soreva scratch his face. If it weren't for his exhibition match with Reiji Akaba, perhaps Reiji Akaba wouldn't have discovered that there was still a problem with the Link Monster Card.

In that case, Reiji Akama might be able to stay by Reiro's side right now.

Feeling a pang of guilt about this, Soreva immediately spoke up:

"Feel sorry……"

"Mom's over there."

Soreva, who was interrupted by Zero Luo's words and was apologizing, was immediately stunned. He looked in the direction Zero Luo was pointing and could vaguely see a figure standing behind the glass wall in that direction.

So, Akama Mika has already arrived at the scene?

Just as Soreva was pondering this, he caught a glimpse of Ayu entering the competition venue, while the female host, seeing that Zero had not yet entered, led the photographers toward them.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous?"

The unfamiliar voice immediately startled Zero, who hid behind Soreva, completely disregarding the fact that Soreva was just an acquaintance he had met that morning.

Seeing Zero's appearance, Soreva, accustomed to his recent experience as a teacher, immediately began to explain to the female host:

"I'm sorry, this child is a bit introverted and shy."

Having said that, Soreva recalled how Akama Rei had comforted Reiro that morning, and patted Reiro's back in the same manner.

"Come on, Zero, don't be afraid. The duel ahead depends on you."

Hearing Soleva's reassuring voice, Zero looked up, but Soleva sensed that Zero looked up not because of him, but because...

With a quick turn of his head, Soreva looked in the direction Zero was looking, and sure enough, it was Akama Himika!

Akama Himika's lips moved slightly, and Soleva didn't know what she said, but he felt Reiro's hand gripping his trouser leg freeze instantly. Looking down, he saw that Reiro's pupils and eyes had also inexplicably widened.

"Hey, Zero Luo, what's wrong?"

When Soleva asked him a question, Zero didn’t answer. He simply put the bear plush toy in his hand into Soleva’s hand and walked onto the dueling arena without saying a word.

"Zero Luo!"

Seeing Zero's unusual state, Soreva immediately called out to him, but still received no response. This made Soreva grit his teeth in anger.

"Damn it, what did Akaba Himika just say?!"

Although he didn't know how to get Zero out of this abnormal state, Soleva knew that there was someone who was definitely related to Zero's current abnormality, so he immediately ran towards the building where Akama Himeka was.

However, the students of Yusheng Academy did not understand why Soreva's face turned so ugly and why he rushed straight into the tall building behind them.

"Hey! Akaba Himika, what exactly did you do to that kid Reiro?!"

Soreva rushed into the second floor of the building and immediately spotted Akama Himika standing in front of the glass window, looking towards the dueling arena. He rushed forward, grabbed Akama Himika by the collar without any politeness, and began to question her harshly.

"Oh? So you came to see me because of that kid, Zero Luo? I didn't do anything. I just gave that kid the order to 'ignore everything else and fight seriously'."

"You mean orders? What do you take Zero for? He's just a child, not a machine that obeys your commands!"

Akama Himika's casual tone made Soreva, whose expression was already distorted with anger, raise his right fist. However, this punch ultimately failed to land on Akama Himika's face.

"Even when you're this angry, you won't resort to violence? Mr. Soreva, you're truly a person with an excess of kindness."

"Stop talking nonsense! Release yourself from Lingluo's control, or I won't hesitate to punch you in that disgusting face!"

"Unfortunately, it can't be changed. Willing to be controlled is Lingluo's true nature."

Akama Himika's absurd answer instantly drew a fierce rebuttal from Soreva:

"Don't be ridiculous! How could anyone in this world willingly let themselves be controlled like a machine!"
