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

"In addition to [Electronic Dragon - Infinite], the dump truck reward has also been issued..."

"So..."

The instant that this came to mind, a "bold idea" flashed through Youfeng's mind. He immediately turned the classic gear-shaped switch on the card pack, and the card pack instantly unfolded into Youfeng's palm like a mechanical structure.

At that very moment, at the very top of this heavy card pack, a particularly eye-catching and powerful high-level monster card appeared.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Silver Shard SER-quality Tier 12 Xyz Monster Card - Skybreaker - Aeus!]

[Tianting-Azeus]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: light]

[Class: 12]

[Attack power: 3000]

[Defense: 3000]

"Gundam? Hmph, I, [Cyber ​​Dragon], can actually drive a wheelchair... no, I mean, I can drive a Gundam..."

"This card truly lives up to its title as the pinnacle of [Xyz]!"

Holding this powerful Rank 12 shiny black [Xyz] monster card in his hand, Yufeng couldn't help but feel a little emotional:

"Because this card possesses extremely powerful removal capabilities, although it's only Rank 12, it can be stacked on top of any Xyz monster that has already been battled..."

"So much so that almost every deck with Xyz monsters will include a copy of 'Gundam', 'Azeus', as a general-purpose card."

"Therefore, this card is also known as the end of [Xyz]!"

At that very moment, the [Sebadorgon] card spirit, which had been dormant in Youfeng's card box, seemed to sense the power of its kind and instantly sprang to life, perching on Youfeng's shoulder.

"roar~"

74. Dump Truck Attack: Directly Kills the Duelist!

Meanwhile, at the same time, Kaiba Seto, the president of Kaiba Corporation, who was also watching Yuufu closely, was repeatedly studying and analyzing Yuufu's duel on television screens within his own Kaiba Group.

"Um..."

"【Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite】...Has Yuufu already shone brightly in two consecutive matches using this powerful 【Xyz】 monster card...?"

"I never expected that after disappearing for so long, he would master [Xyz] so quickly... I strongly suspect that Yuuka was actually colluding with Pegasus during this time..."

Soon, amidst the man's rough and deep voice complaining, Seto Kaiba once again gazed at Yuuki on the screen:

"but--"

After a slight smile, Seto Kaiba looked confidently at his Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck on the table:

"No matter how strong that [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite] is, it's still just a Rank 6 monster... while my [White Dragon] deck now possesses the power of [Xyz]..."

"Moreover, the power of the even more advanced version of that Ultimate Dragon, the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon—the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon..."

"When I face you again, Yufeng, I will never lose my victory over you again!"

...

The very next day, Yufeng, who suspected he had caught a cold and was awakened by a sneeze in the middle of the night, reluctantly washed up, ate a simple breakfast, and went straight to the classroom at the Duel Academy.

Although he has joined the Duel Academy, Youfeng did not join as an ordinary teaching professor, but as the overall technical head of the entire Duel Academy and the technical director of the teaching department.

Therefore, Youfeng does not need to participate in the daily teaching. However, as the first practical course of the new semester, Youfeng still needs to attend in person as the teaching director.

"Hmm~ Director You Feng, hello there~"

Soon, in the lecture hall surrounding a complete dueling stage in the center, Marufuji Ryo, known as the "Kaiser of Duel Academy," who had defeated Seto Kaiba and Yugi Muto in the Duel City tournament and directly counterattacked and killed the opponent who had the upper hand at the opening ceremony, turned the tide and killed him.

Therefore, this practical lesson was immediately filled with a large number of students during the break.

Right in the center of the dueling arena, Professor Chronos, with his striking blond hair, sat quietly with a gloomy expression.

Meanwhile, Tenjouin Asuka and Marufuji Ryo, who were sitting a row behind in the front row, both looked slightly embarrassed. Meanwhile, Manjou-me Jun, who was sitting not far from Tenjouin Asuka and was wearing the Obelisk-Blue school uniform, had a faint look of schadenfreude on his face.

"what happened..."

Just as Yu Feng frowned slightly, Yuki Jaden, dressed in a bright red and spirited Osiris-Red uniform in the second row, immediately scratched his "jellyfish head" and showed an apologetic look to the company representative.

Youfeng seemed to understand what had just happened in an instant.

At that moment, Professor Chronos, his face contorted with rage, slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly.

"...To think that a student would openly criticize them for their useless and outdated dueling ideas... Director You Feng, we should really discipline some of these bad students!"

...

In that instant, Ban Suzi and Chronos clearly pointed their sharp words at Jaden Yuki, the boy with the "jellyfish head" immediately stood up apologetically, about to explain something...

The next second, just as everyone seemed to have already prepared how Yuuki would rebuke Jaden Yuki to uphold the authority of the Duel Academy professor, Yuuki...

Yufeng glanced at the "culprit," Yuki Judai, and then shrugged.

"Um... I think Judai isn't wrong..."

Then, amidst the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Yuuki glanced at Judai Yuuki again, sighed helplessly, and shook his head:

"However... because his understanding of the cards far surpasses his understanding of the era, he's completely misunderstood by everyone? That's rather tragic..."

But as Yuuki sighed, Jaden Yuuki was momentarily stunned, then shook his head in confusion:

"Well... that's all... I simply believe that... playing cards relies on the bond between me and my [HEROs]..."

Youfeng: ...

...

Under the earnest gaze of Jaden Yuki, Yuuka's lips twitched instantly, leaving him speechless.

But at that very moment, Professor Chronos, who had launched the first attack, was also shocked and then enraged when he heard Yuuki express his support for the "rebellious" Jaden Yuki. Suddenly, he let out a cold laugh of anger:

"Hmph, Director Youfeng... even if you are the champion of the Duel City Tournament, I still greatly admire and respect your strength..."

"But... to so contemptuously disregard the dueling theories accumulated by our predecessors is simply too arrogant, Director Youfeng!"

"I absolutely cannot agree with this!"

As Professor Chronos clenched his fist, his face beaming with "self-respect," a commotion quickly erupted in the already packed dueling classroom of the Duel Academy:

"Indeed... Although Director You Feng has indeed won a championship, isn't it a bit irresponsible of him to say such things now?"

"...Yes, how can you call dueling theory outdated?"

"Does that mean a poor student like Jaden Yuki, who relies purely on luck, should be praised? How ridiculous..."

Most of the people in the Duel Academy were educated under the current dueling system, and they were quite critical of Yufeng's remarks.

Asuka Tenjōin also looked surprised, her expression complicated as she glanced at the blue-haired boy beside her, Ryō Marufuji.

"So, Marufuji-senpai, do you also agree with what Yuuka-sensei said..."

Seeing the girl's confused expression, Marufuji Ryo hesitated for a moment before quickly nodding.

"Hmm... If this were before, I would have scoffed at such remarks... But now, after years of learning within the existing system, and after my battle with Teacher Youfeng..."

"I increasingly feel that my dueling skills are being constrained by the existing dueling theory system, so... it seems I have to break free from this 'kingly' mindset in order to improve my dueling skills..."

Soon, at Marufuji Ryo's concluding remarks, the expressions of the more outstanding duelists from the Duel Academy sitting in the front row immediately turned strange.

Although no one was in a hurry to express their opinion at this moment, in reality, everyone had some understanding and agreement with You Feng's remarks.

Daichi Misawa, who had achieved first place in the written exam of this entrance test, immediately protested with a look of shock.

...

At the very moment when the conflict had reached its peak, the statement made by Marufuji Ryo, whose [Obelisk-Blue] was usually his greatest pride, became the final straw that broke Chronos's spirit.

This caused him to pull out his card deck with a very gloomy expression:

"It seems I have no choice but to fight Director Youfeng to uphold my honor! No matter what, I will demonstrate my strength before you to prove the correctness of my dueling philosophy!"

Soon, seeing Professor Chronos's very serious expression, even Banjou Jun, who was sitting in the classroom, immediately shook his head:

"But is it alright? Professor Chronos, I remember your deck is all Machine-type, right? It would be a complete free win against Cyber ​​Dragon, wouldn't it?"

Accompanied by Wan Zhangmu's eerie voice, Professor Chronos instantly became discouraged, his face contorting as if he had donned a "mask of pain":

"hateful..."

...

But soon, at this moment, looking at Professor Chronos with his slightly disappointed golden mushroom-shaped haircut, Youfeng also shook his head slightly and took out another deck from his card box:

"It's alright, Professor Chronos... You don't need to worry about that. This time, I'll be using a brand new Machine-type deck to fight you, not trying to take advantage of you with a Cyber ​​Dragon deck!"

In that instant, Professor Chronos, whose morale had been slightly low regarding the upcoming duel, and his supporters, regained their spirits:

"Yes, if that's the case, then there's definitely no problem at all!"

"Even when facing Mr. Youfeng, Professor Chronos, you should be able to show your true strength!"

Amidst the encouraging cheers of the crowd, Professor Chronos, with a slightly moved expression, looked at his "followers" and nodded solemnly:

"Well then, Youfeng, let's get started now. It's time for class—this practical lesson will use our duel as an example!"

Soon, at Chronos's suggestion, Yuuka, who had originally planned to use this class to randomly select students for duels and optimize their combos, quickly nodded with a smile, after all...

In this era of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the actions of these dueling students might actually cause them to have a stroke. Therefore, instead of letting them actually duel, it would be better for them to personally take to the dueling room themselves.
