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

However, seeing Hiiragi Yuzu add the purple-bordered [Master of Illusion Schubert] to a bunch of orange-yellow monster cards, Soreva seemed to have guessed the truth behind Hiiragi Yuzu's continued failure to summon:

"Yuzu, what are you doing?"

"Huh? I'm adding cards to my deck?"

Hearing Hiiragi Yuzu's matter-of-fact statement, Soleva could only helplessly cover his face and say:

"I want to know, why did you include Fusion Monsters in your main deck? Shouldn't Fusion Monsters be in the extra deck?"

Seeing that Soreva was showing signs of anger, Yuzu immediately shrank back, but still asked weakly:

"Extra Deck? What's that?"

Upon hearing Yuzu Hiiragi ask such a question, Soreva was immediately furious. How could someone play Yu-Gi-Oh! and not know what the Extra Deck is?

Soreva initially worried that teaching kids how to play Yu-Gi-Oh! might be misleading them, but now he has no such concerns at all! Letting someone who doesn't even know the Extra Deck teach them, that would be misleading them!

However, what's more important now is to explain the concept of the Extra Deck to Hiiragi Yuzu and the others:

"The Extra Deck, as the name suggests, is a separate deck from the Main Deck. Generally speaking, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and the Link Monsters I just showed are placed in the Extra Deck. The Extra Deck can hold a maximum of 15 monster cards, and how to choose these 15 cards depends on individual needs."

Seeing that Yuzu's eyes were already darting around and unfocused after his explanation, Soleva could only sigh and add,

"To put it simply, all you need to remember is to put the monster cards I just mentioned into your Extra Deck, and you can then perform a summon."

"Okay, I understand!"

Having understood Soleva's meaning, Hiiragi Yuzu readjusted her deck. This time, she finally made no mistakes, and after a series of successful maneuvers, she successfully summoned [Phantom Princess Master Schubert], causing her to cheer excitedly:

"I did it! I've finally mastered Fusion Summoning!"

However, before Hiiragi Yuzu could get excited for long, Soreva curled his fingers and tapped her on the head:

"Don't think that just because you've successfully summoned a Fusion Monster, you've mastered Fusion Summoning! You still have a lot to learn! I'm going to teach you very strictly from now on."

"I know, I know."

Yuzu, feeling a sharp pain from Soleva's cold rebuke, clutched the spot where Soleva had just struck her. So dejected was she that it took her a while to understand the meaning behind Soleva's words.

"Wait, Mr. Sorewa, what you just said means that you've agreed to be a teacher at Yusheng Academy?"

In response, Soreva could only roll his eyes.

"Otherwise what? If I don't teach you, do you expect me to teach you, you stupid girl who doesn't even know about the Extra Deck?"

"Stupid...stupid girl..."

Yuzu Hiiragi never expected that after earning the title of "Strong Yuzu" by cooperating with Yuya Sakaki in the duel performance, she would now earn the title of "Dumb Girl" from Soleva.

But what can be done? Even Yuzu Hiiragi, after learning about the existence of the Extra Deck, reflected on the previous question and realized that she was indeed a bit silly and couldn't refute it at all.

As for Yuya Sakaki, he was currently immersed in the joy of Soleva agreeing to become a teacher at Yushojuku:

"That's wonderful! With such a powerful duelist as Mr. Soleva as our teacher, we're sure to be able to revive Yusho Academy! And from now on, we can duel with Mr. Soleva every day, which is fantastic!"

Even Shuzo Hiiragi was unusually excited at this moment:

"To celebrate Mr. Sorewa joining the Yushojuku, let's go out for barbecue tonight!"

"it is good!"

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

"Phew, I never expected that Yousheng Academy would have so few students left, yet still have staff dormitories? Well, it's good that they would see me using the system, and it would be hard to explain."

At this point, Soreva had already eaten and drunk his fill at the celebration party held for him by the Yushengjuku and had returned to the staff dormitory assigned to him by the Yushengjuku.

The first thing he did upon returning was to open the MD system and check his day's gains.

"Oh, there's a red dot. Looks like bullying that kid Yuya really paid off. It was worth it! Hehe, system, don't be so stingy. Give me at least 1000 diamonds so I can do a 10-pull."

As he spoke, Soreva clicked on the taskbar marked with a red dot, but just one glance was enough to freeze him in place.

"What the heck? System, are you broken? Why are you suddenly being so generous today?!"

The system panel displayed two tasks with completion indicators:

"Defeat Yuya Sakaki (Completed): Reward: 1000 Diamonds"

Defeat the final boss, Zack's consciousness (completed): Reward: 4000 Diamonds

"But who is this final boss, Zack? I haven't even seen him today, how did I defeat him already? Never mind, 5000 diamonds in hand, just enough for five 10-pulls to my heart's content!"

Just as Soleva received the 5000 diamonds and was about to indulge in a gacha pull, his finger suddenly stopped in mid-air. The faces of the Yusheng Academy members at the dinner party earlier that day flashed into his mind.

Although they had only met today, the three children with distinct personalities, as well as Yuzu Hiiragi and Yuya Sakaki, had already left a very deep impression on Soleva.

"Forget it, I've already built so many decks, there's no need to draw more cards for myself. I might as well help them see what cards they can use. I remember that chubby guy's graffiti beast, I think it's a dinosaur-type..."

While muttering to himself, Soreva closed the card draw interface and turned to immerse himself in the world of deck building.

However, apart from Yuya Sakaki's deck, the decks of the other players can only be described as extremely obscure. One of them even hasn't been released in Origin, and there's no deck reference for Soleva in the Mega Drive system.

"Indeed, being a teacher is a very demanding job!"

Despite his complaints, Soreva still had a smile on his face.

Chapter 13 Soreva's First Day of Teaching

Good morning, students!

Good morning, Professor Soreva! ×3

Seeing Soleva arrive at the classroom door and greet everyone, the three little ones immediately responded enthusiastically. Even Yuzu stood up and bowed respectfully to Soleva.

"Good morning, Mr. Sorewa."

Only Yuya Sakaki slumped listlessly on the table, complaining without a trace of energy:

"Why?! Isn't this supposed to be a dueling tutorial? Why aren't we being taken to the dueling arena? Why do we have to learn in the classroom?"

Seeing Yuya Sakaki's dejected appearance, Yuzu Hiiragi grabbed his ear and roared angrily:

"Yuya! You're being incredibly rude! Mr. Soleva only agreed to stay at Yushojuku to teach us because of your request, how could you do this?"

"Alright, alright, Yuzu, let go of Sakaki Yuya's ears first, let me talk to him."

While persuading Yuzu Hiiragi to let go of Yuya Sakaki's ear, Soreva secretly wiped away a bead of cold sweat. To be honest, he stayed partly because of Yuya Sakaki's request, and partly because he couldn't stand Yuzu Hiiragi's behavior of putting Fusion Monster cards in the main deck.

However, he simply couldn't bring himself to say such things to Yuzu Hiiragi, who was speaking up for him.

So, he could only turn to Sakaki Yuuya, who was still rubbing his ears, and begin to explain:

"Sakaki Yuya-kun, I'm very sorry, but in my teaching plan, the first few lessons will focus on teaching these kids about the rules of dueling and how to use various special summons. Only after helping these kids complete their deck building will I consider letting them officially start dueling."

"Eh!!!"

Now, not only Yuya Sakaki, but even the three little ones showed disappointment on their faces and began to complain to Soleva:

"Professor Soleva, how could this happen!"

"That's right, Professor Soreva, we want to duel too! My deck is already ready!"

…………

However, listening to the three little ones' complaints, Soreva not only didn't waver in the slightest, but instead added a sentence as if to finish them off:

"Furthermore, even if I allow you to engage in duels, I will not let you first use the physical video system or action duels. Only when you can skillfully duel using only cards will I allow you to use the physical video system."

These words further fueled public resentment towards the three boys:

"Professor Soreva has gone too far!" ×3

Yuya Sakaki also took the opportunity to join the ranks of those condemning Soleva:

"Exactly! Action duels are the best kind of duels! How can you stop everyone from using physical video systems!"

Even Yuzu Hiiragi sensed something was wrong and retorted to Soreva:

“Mr. Soleva, isn’t it a bit much to ban everyone from using physical imaging systems like this? Ayu and the others are children after all, and doing this would be too discouraging for their enthusiasm for learning.”

Seeing that even Yuzuki was pleading for the three boys, Soreva had no choice but to relent:

"Alright, then I'll change the rules. As long as you learn the rules about special summoning from me and are able to successfully special summon a monster using those methods, I will allow you to use the physical image system."

"Great!"

Now, besides the three little ones beaming with joy, even Yuzu Hiiragi and Yuya Sakaki showed smiles on their faces. After all, after yesterday's celebration, the two of them had been practicing special summoning methods diligently, and now Yuzu Hiiragi and Yuya Sakaki were able to use fusion summoning and pendulum summoning proficiently.

However, Soreva's voice rang out again, which stunned them all:

"However, even if you use the physical imaging system, you are not allowed to use motion cards. I will only allow you to use motion cards after you pass my test."

Upon hearing Soleva's words, Yuya Sakaki abruptly stood up from his seat, glaring fiercely at Soleva and questioning him with considerable displeasure:

"Mr. Soleva, what do you mean by this? Action duels have such interesting rules..."

This time, Soreva had no interest in listening to Sakaki Yuya finish speaking, and instead interrupted him directly:

"You find it interesting? Then my opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. In my opinion, the existence of Action Duel and Action Cards is the most abnormal thing, and the decks born under this rule are also abnormal. If these children are exposed to Action Duel too early, it will only be harmful to their learning of dueling."

Seeing Soleva so disparaging of his father's wholehearted dedication to the action duel, Yuya Sakaki felt a surge of anger. He immediately lost all respect for Soleva and pointed at him, shouting:

"What right do you have to say that! What makes you think that Action Duel, and the decks that come with it, are deformed!"

To this, Soreva simply shook his head and sighed:

"Sakaki Yuya-kun, based on your deck alone, I dare say that the decks born under the rules of Action Duel are deformed."

"My...my deck?"

Upon hearing Soleva's words, Yuya Sakaki involuntarily took out his own deck. However, unwilling to back down on this issue, Yuya Sakaki, as if in a fit of pique, shoved his deck into Soleva's hands.

Since Yuya Sakaki himself handed over the deck, Soleva naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, so he used Yuya Sakaki's deck as a negative example for the three little ones:

"Alright, watch closely, the first one is the Monster Card [Entertainment Partner: Search for Hippo]..."

After introducing all the cards in Yuya Sakaki's deck one by one, Soreva finally gave his opinion:

"Almost all cards are only available once. I would rather call it a deck than a deck. The three categories of [Entertainment Partner], [Odd Eyes], and [Magician] are essentially independent, with only a very few cards able to synergize with each other. Spell cards and trap cards are pitifully few in proportion, and there is not a single extra deck item."

After this criticism, Yuya Sakaki's face turned ashen, but he still wanted to defend himself:

"Even if you say that, I still beat Strong Ishijima! He's the action duel champion of our Maiwan City!"

Soreva simply rolled his eyes at him.
