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

...

Soon, meeting Jaden Yuki's surprised gaze, Yuuka quickly nodded:

"What is the strongest killer of Long Huiqiao?! That's right—it's the Azure-Eyed Chaos Dragon!"

In an instant, as Yu Feng jokingly uttered the name of this unexpectedly powerful ultimate dragon from the ritual, everyone's expressions shifted from astonishment to shock:

"Senior Yu... Yufeng, how did you obtain those cards?!"

"This...it's hard to interpret it as a 'bond of friendship' like that 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' card, is it?"

Soon, amidst Jaden Yuki's bewildered expression, Yuuki nodded, slightly surprised:

"It seems that the legend created by that man... remains great even after so many years..."

"...It seems we should start our rematch with Kai↗Ba↘ as soon as possible..."

...

Soon, on this night, due to Yufeng's victory in the first battle, Junko, the female duelist of [Osiris-Blue], and Jaden Yuki, the "famous underachiever" of [Osiris-Red], both felt immense pressure in the second battle.

But at that very moment, Tenjouin Asuka immediately proposed to Yuuka that her "Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-" from her "Cyber ​​Angel" be added to Yuuka's "Dragon Light Takumi" system as part of the resource operation.

Youfeng nodded in immediate approval:

"Hmm...it's not just [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-]...actually, the 5-star [Cyber ​​Angel - Nasatemi-] is actually more tactically significant than the 10-star Big Sister on the field..."

"They are all important components of [Dragon Radiance Technique]..."

At that moment, when it was mentioned that her two core cards were crucial rifles for Yu Feng's [Dragon Radiance], a flicker of hesitation crossed the girl's eyes. But in the end, she took a deep breath and gripped her card box tightly.

"Hmm... if these two cards of mine could be of help to you, senior..."

...

But the moment she mustered the courage to look at You Feng, a hint of surprise flashed across You Feng's face, followed by a smile and a shake of his head:

"To be honest... I have both of those cards... but I haven't really used them. Maybe my luck in drawing them has been on Asuka's side, whose main deck is 'Cyber ​​Angel'..."

And with Youfeng's straightforward voice, the girl immediately nodded in surprise:

"Is that so..."

You Feng continued with great interest:

"However, if there's a chance next time... I'd be very interested to show you the 4-bullet [Supreme Light] skill... [Ritual All]'s strongest attack that can dominate the environment..."

In that instant, accompanied by the soft sound of the wind, the gloom that had accumulated in the girl's eyes due to the defeat vanished instantly, and she nodded solemnly:

"Okay! It's a deal then..."

...

Soon, in the ongoing match between Yuki Jaden and Junko, despite being looked down upon as a "bad student," the "jellyfish-headed" boy lived up to expectations and quickly won the match.

The group's opinion of the dormitory of [Osiris-Red], who ranked over 100th in the written test, also changed somewhat.

"What? There are actually people with this kind of ability among the underachievers? It feels like the world has turned upside down!"

Soon, amidst Junko's indignant voice, Yuuka picked up Yuki Jaden and left the girls' dormitory.

"Hmm...it seems someone's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled~"

Seeing Asuka's slightly flushed face as she looked at Yuuka piloting the D-Wheel, Junko teased her in a low voice.

On the other hand, the young Momoe smiled slightly, her lips pursed:

"Perhaps this is just the beginning of a long-cherished wish~"

...

After returning to his dormitory, You Feng immediately opened his system, and the system rewards were issued accordingly:

[Congratulations, host, on achieving an OTK victory using the Machine-type deck Dragon Radiance Technique! You will receive a reward—Iron Drive Dragon - Swift Demon Dragon.]

"Holy crap, the [Branding] System?!"

Youfeng exclaimed in surprise—"Isn't the [brand] a dragon?...Wait?!"

After re-examining the fighter jet-like monster card, Youfeng nodded as if he had suddenly understood:

"Oh, this guy is a machine race~ Even though there's only one—but one is enough for a machine to ascend!"

83. [Source Number Network]: Source Friends' Classic One-Card Deployment!

Soon, accompanied by the system notification sound, Youfeng quickly took the powerful [Fusion] card into his hand:

【Iron Destroyer Dragon - Swift Monster Dragon】

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: Dark]

[Star rating: 8]

[Attack power: 2500]

[Defense: 2000]

"I remember this card is not the power of [Albus's Fallen Child] under the [Brand] system, but a flying tool created by [Treasure Guardian Demon - Kit] for [Albus's Fallen Child] in the same [Abyss] storyline... so it rightfully belongs to the Machine race."

"This signifies the combined power of [Albus's Fallen Heir] and [Treasure Guardian Cannon Demon]..."

Soon, accompanied by Youfeng's murmured words, as he held the almost unique [Machine-Type] Fusion Monster card in his hand, he immediately opened the system reward deck that had been issued at the same time: a pack with a deep purple cover, resembling a mecha, and mechanical gears serving as a switch.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully obtained the complete deck build for the Branded Deck of Iron Drive Dragon - Swift Demon Dragon!]

【The Fallen Heir of Albes】

[Attribute: Dark]

[Star rating: 4]

[Race: Dragon]

[Attack power: 1800]

[Defense: 0]

Upon hearing this crisp and pleasant system notification, Youfeng immediately saw the white-haired noble dragon warrior, [Albus's Fallen Heir], along with the various [Fusion] monster cards that fused with the power of the abyss.

As for deck support, there are also many support cards related to "Death Prison" among the lower-level monsters.

"This way, you can truly appreciate the allure of the high-level [Fusion] deck—[Brand]—which can dominate the entire meta..."

"This deck's mature and stable system also possesses extremely powerful versatility, even including the [Grass-Mowing Brand]..."

Soon, after finishing reorganizing the deck with a slight sigh, Youfeng placed it back into his card box with satisfaction, and immediately put the [Mech-type] [Iron Drive Dragon - Swift Dragon], which was the main reward for this event, on the top of the deck:

"If the many forms of [branding] unfold through the allure of [mechanical ascension], then perhaps it is also a form of mechanical compassion..."

...

Soon after gathering the deck, Yufeng was quite satisfied and fell asleep in his private classroom dormitory.

But it is obvious that—

On the second day, Yuuka, the technical director of the Duel Academy, quickly noticed Tenjouin Asuka and Yuki Jaden during his routine patrol.

"It seems... yesterday's impact was quite significant for both of them..."

Soon, after a slight sigh, Yu Feng immediately went up to the two boys and girls, dressed in different red and blue uniforms, representing the two typical types of students at the [Duel Academy] – the "poor students" and the "excellent students" – and they immediately greeted him with excitement, sharing their thoughts on last night's duel with Yu Feng.

Then, watching the girl's departing figure, the "jellyfish-haired" boy, who usually appeared carefree, instantly became serious:

"So... did Yuuka-senpai also receive a letter disguised as Asuka-senpai?"

...

Amidst the boy's very serious voice, Professor Chronos, who, like the two of them, had large dark circles under his eyes, immediately walked into the classroom.

"Humph..."

Seeing that his strategy had failed completely, he glared at Yuki Judai with great hostility, but the moment his gaze fell on Yuuki, the blond mushroom-headed professor immediately and guiltily averted his gaze.

Soon, seeing the unusual expression almost written on Professor Chronos's face, Jaden Yuki understood almost instantly, and his expression immediately turned slightly apologetic as he glanced at Yuuki.

"..."

"It seems... I've dragged Senior Yuuka into this..."

...

At the same time, Professor Chronos immediately put his hands in his pockets and approached the somewhat lonely Manjou.

"Hmph...it seems...Manjoume Jun is itching to make a move..."

The instant Professor Chronos's eerie voice rang out, Jun Banjou, dressed in a blue academy uniform, also shook his head with a cold smile:

"What's wrong? Has the professor lost his mind because of the humiliating defeat to Director You Feng in the FTK manner?"

In that instant, Professor Chronos, whose sore spot had been hit, frowned, his face contorted, and he clenched his fists.

"Ah! Damn it!"

But the next second, Professor Chronos still managed to suppress his anger and revealed a "devilish" friendly smile:

"Manjoume... haven't you heard? Last night, Director Yuuka and Tenjouin Asuka had a duel using a [Ritual Deck] on the shore near the girls' dormitory..."

"That man seems to have captured Asuka's heart~"

"I think it won't be long before the beautiful school beauty proposes to the academy's legendary duelist!"

Soon, amidst Chronos's soft voice, Jun Manjou's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the usually calm and mature girl, Asuka Tenjouin, with a hint of nervousness. After finishing her longing conversation with Yuuka, Asuka returned to her seat with a beaming smile.

His fist was also slightly clenched.

Although he has never explicitly expressed his feelings, Jun Manjoume, who graduated from a lower-level academy of the same Duel Academy and was promoted to Duel Academy, has always harbored feelings of love for Asuka Tenjouin.

The moment Chronos exposed this fact, coupled with the fact that the arrogant black-haired boy's unwavering belief that he would soon sweep away Duel Academy and become king was shattered by the appearance of Yuuki and Jaden Yuki.
