I'm in Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm also in Machine Ascension.

"A Cyber ​​Dragon deck?"

After acquiring this deck, Yu Feng, whose core deck revolves around the Machine race, gradually developed a confident smile.

"The Gurus Group, huh? Interesting... but I have absolutely no interest in the fake cards you have..."

"As a wager, all I want is the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] you just won!"

2. The invincible Sebastián!

Upon hearing You Feng's request, the middle-aged man's expression instantly turned somewhat strange.

Seemingly surprised by the sudden confidence of the young man before him, the man quickly followed up with a disdainful nod.

“I grant your request—with the immense power of our Gurus Group, we can replicate any card, no matter how powerful it may be.”

"You have absolutely no chance of winning, kid."

"..."

After snorting twice, the mysterious man in the black robe took the lead in using the silver-white duel disk on his arm to shuffle the cards, drawing a total of 5 cards as his hand.

Seeing his opponent's utterly uncompromising attitude, Yu Feng didn't waste any more words. He immediately inserted the newly acquired [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck into his Duel Disk, shuffled it, and raised his arm to declare a duel with his opponent:

"DUEL!!!"

"DUEL!!!"

But just as You Feng also drew 5 cards, the black-clad man from the Gurus Group didn't even wait for You Feng to toss the coin he instinctively pulled from his pocket, and instead, quite "unethically," seized the initiative:

"Boy, let the noble Gurus Group launch the first attack!"

After organizing his cards, the black-clad man, acting as a card hunter, immediately played a bright green magic card from his hand as the first starting card in this card duel:

"I activate a Normal Spell Card from my hand—Hand Elimination. The effect of this card is very simple: players with cards in their hand discard all of those cards. After that, each player draws the number of cards they discarded from their deck."

"In other words, I can now discard all four cards I have left and draw them all again. And you, even if you have a perfect start, will have to discard and draw again!"

Accompanied by the man's deep voice, a magical scene appeared before him as the green magic card was played, seemingly throwing all the cards out of his hand.

Youfeng, quite moved at the same time, like the men, discarded all the remaining cards in his hand and began to draw again:

"Are you going to go all in right from the start?"

Accompanied by Youfeng's soft, sarcastic comment, the card hunter opposite him became even more excited after drawing these cards:

"Hmph, that's three Exodia parts in one go... Looks like my luck with the cards is pretty good this time."

"It even surpassed all previous matches..."

"..."

Accompanied by the card hunter's excited voice, a second card, radiating a magical aura, was quickly played from his hand—

"Kid, next up is a classic spell card—[Heavenly Treasure Card] (Anime Version)!"

"This card allows all players to draw cards until each player has 6 cards in their hand."

"So, I can still draw a full 3 more cards—"

...

Soon, upon hearing the man's eerie voice, You Feng's expression froze for a moment: "You didn't just collect almost all the [Corpse Fragments] in two card draws, did you?"

But soon, after uttering a questioning remark, Youfeng shook his head again:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible for anyone to have such good luck with cards!"

But amidst the righteous pronouncements of Youfeng, who was plagued by the misfortune of being an "unlucky player" every day, the card hunter of the Gurus Group also drew a total of 3 cards from his main deck!

"Hmph, I've got the fourth component—the [Sealed Left Hand]!"

At that moment, the man revealed a wicked smile, seemingly confident of victory. In his hand, he had even gathered all the "limbs" of the body except for the main body parts of the [Sealed Dark Archmage].

...

Youfeng: ? ? ? This must be really hard to bear!

Amidst You Feng's momentary, questioning gaze... in the alley where the card shop was located, the people who had been hiding in the shadows to avoid the "infamous" Gurus Group also looked at You Feng, who was facing a predicament, with expressions that even seemed to show "pity":

"He's really pitiful. This kid... I guess it's because he's so unlucky that the other guy got lucky?"

"This kind of luck is terrifying."

"Sigh... with that kind of luck, maybe following his lead and buying lottery tickets against him would make us rich..."

"..."

Just as everyone seemed to find it hard to look at the pile of "broken cards" in Youfeng's hands, they all agreed that this time, they couldn't keep them either.

The girl who had jokingly teased Youfeng at the beginning now shook her head with a tense expression mixed with a hint of helplessness:

"This won't do... He can't hold on much longer... We need to call the game over quickly..."

...

At this moment, the Card Hunter, who was in the first-strike phase, nodded slightly after playing two resource-manipulating [Normal Spell] cards in succession, and then placed a monster card face down in front of him:

"Then I set a monster card face down in defense position in the front row and end my turn!"

And soon, as he finished all this, the Card Hunter smiled and "threatened" again: "I wonder if you've realized the current situation... If you suddenly come to your senses now and obediently hand over all your cards, I might spare you this time~"

Accompanied by the man's half-amused voice, two men in black robes, both from the Gurus Group, quietly surrounded him. They seemed to be preparing to clean up the mess to prevent You Feng from running away, as their companion's "victory was already secured."

Two burly men were even itching to beat up the "unlucky guy" in front of them, just like they were about to beat up Katsuya Jonouchi, and take all his cards away.

"Hmm, this time I'll even take the Duel Disk..."

One of the men from the Gurus family also gave his companion a greedy smile.

Witnessing all this, Card Hunter crossed his arms and looked at Youfeng across from him with the gaze of someone looking at prey waiting to be slaughtered. He seemed to be in a good mood because of his recent "rich harvest".

...

But at the same time, just when everyone present thought that Youfeng had lost all chance of victory.

The boy in the denim jacket shook his head slightly, his finger pointing to the top of his main deck on his duel disk, before he executed a very cool card-drawing gesture—

"My turn, draw a card!"

A powerful fighting force instantly transformed into an electric current that flowed through Youfeng's fingertips.

Then, Youfeng immediately presented the mechanical monster, which seemed to be connected to his fate, in front of him:

"At this moment, I will summon one [Cyber ​​Dragon] from my hand in face-up Attack Position!"

"let's go!"

"Invincible Sebatoragon!"

3. I now have three [Electronic Dragon] cards!

Soon, to everyone's surprise, the mechanical dragon, whose entire body was made of a special metal structure and displayed shimmering, bright white silver-metal-like scales, also let out an electronic howl and descended with a powerful presence.

In an instant, powerful electric currents surged between Youfeng and Card Hunter:

【Electronic Dragon】

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 5]

[Attack power: 2100]

[Defense: 1600]

As this incredibly powerful and eye-catching monster suddenly appeared on the field, the middle-aged man, a card hunter, twitched his brow and immediately gave off an expression as if he were looking at a lunatic:

"Are you crazy, kid... According to the existing rules, monsters above level 4 require tributes for a superior summon—your summon is a completely invalid one."

"Is making this kind of move at this stage of card gambling an attempt to concede defeat outright?"

"..."

Soon, accompanied by the card hunter's mocking voice, the man realized that this powerful [Cyber ​​Dragon] monster was an SER Silver Shard of extremely rare quality, surpassing even SR rarity.

A glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the burly middle-aged man, and a smile crept across his lips.

"Hmph, I get it. You played this card to pay your protection fee, right? Kid... you're quite sensible..."

After briefly assessing the card's potential value, Card Hunter smiled and shook his head, his eyes gleaming with greed as he stared at the main deck on Youfeng's Duel Disk.

"You must hand over your entire deck to leave safely!"

At that very moment, just as the card hunter "Greedy" shouted loudly, two other men from the Gurus Group, whose status was clearly lower and who wore black robes, immediately rolled up their sleeves and walked towards Youfeng with great interest.

In that instant... even the onlookers hiding in the shadows were astonished as the handsome young man played the [Electronic Dragon] card, and sighed in amazement:

"I never expected that Brother Lucky would actually be so lucky... he really does have such a valuable card..."

But this fleeting astonishment quickly turned into a slight sigh after feeling the terrifying oppressive aura of the Gurus Group:

"But at this point, this kind of news seems like a misfortune for him..."

...

But just as the Card Hunter seemed excited and reached for the [Cyber ​​Dragon] card from Youfeng, he was instantly met with the boy's gaze, as if he were looking at someone with an idiot:

"I think you're the one who doesn't understand the rules. The current situation on the field proves that the normal summoning of the monster means that I have completed the summoning in accordance with the rules and have officially entered the field."

Soon, Youfeng also picked up the card and displayed it in front of the group:

"This card has the effect of being able to Special Summon from the hand in situations where only the opponent has monsters on their field. So it's not a Tribute Summon that requires Tributes, but rather an Effect Special Summon!"

"Are you even card hunters? You're so unprofessional... Tsk tsk tsk, is this the Gurus Group?"
