Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

"And what's more, it's that they want to duel with us?"

Chapter 59 The Two Teams Meet

Sunday.

The sunlight slanted down, draping the ground and buildings of various colors in a golden cloak.

Since the midday heatwave had passed, the outside temperature wasn't too unbearable, but even with psychological factors, it still felt a bit hot under the bright sunshine.

So Yu Xi and the two girls hid in the shade where they wouldn't be directly exposed to the sun, enjoying cold drinks while waiting for their distinguished guests to arrive.

"Whoa...Aren't we there yet?"

Xingyewu shaded her eyes with her hand, stood on tiptoe, and looked out at both sides of the road with a longing expression.

This wasn't the first time she'd done this, but no matter how the girl looked around, all she saw were passersby; there was no sign of anyone coming.

"You're too impatient, Wu."

Compared to Hoshino Mai, who suffers from ADHD, Izayoi Yuki shows no signs of anxiety.

"There's still some time before the agreed-upon time, so it's normal that they haven't arrived yet. You can complain when they're really late."

"Hey~ Xiaoxue, you really know how to keep your composure at a time like this."

"Because I'm used to it."

The white-haired girl said calmly and naturally, "Some missions require long periods of waiting and lying in wait. You can't do it without enough patience. What we're doing now can only be described as a gentle breeze and light rain."

"That's quite a convincing statement."

Although she is a student, Izayoi Yuki also has a part-time job as a trainee dueling guard.

Youxi had never witnessed firsthand how the Duel Guards worked, but he could imagine it by applying it to his original world. The police officers on TV did indeed have many similar tasks that required a lot of time and patience, such as surveillance and ambushes.

"However, even so, there's no need for all three of us to wait together."

Yu Xi glanced at the blinding sun in the sky, then lowered his head and said, "Why don't Miss Hoshino and Izayoi go to a nearby shop to sit for a while? I'll call you as soon as the others arrive."

Upon hearing Yuki's words, Izayoi Yuki's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"That won't do. It's not fair to make you wait all by yourself, Izumi."

"It's okay, I'm a guy. I can handle this kind of thing."

"No, this has nothing to do with boys or girls..."

"Ah, I think you don't need to argue anymore, they've already arrived."

Hoshinobu interrupted Izayoi Yuki's next words and pointed in a direction.

"That is?"

Yu Xi had excellent eyesight and quickly spotted the target by following the direction the girl was pointing.

At a nearby bus stop, a bus slowly came to a stop, and several figures disembarked. The most eye-catching of them all was a burly man who was taller than everyone else around him.

The school uniform of Morning Light Duel Academy looked noticeably tight on him, as if it might burst open at any moment like in a comic book.

Yu Xi, who had just checked the information a few days ago, immediately recognized the burly man who was as strong as an ox. It was none other than the valiant general who had fought him to a standstill in DL—Kido Harutora!

"Oh! You're Yuki!"

At the same time that Yu Xi saw Chun Hu, the latter also discovered the presence of Yu Xi and his group.

With a loud voice, he let out an excited shout, so loud that it attracted the attention of those nearby, just like during the Duel Academy incident. But Chunhu paid no attention to any of this, striding through the flow of people getting on and off the bus to Yuxi's side.

After looking You Xi up and down, he patted the latter's shoulder with his fan-like hand.

"Pooh!"

This was accompanied by a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha! Even though I confirmed it in the video, looking at you now, Yuki, you really are tiny! This won't do. A real man should build more muscle and grow taller to become a tough guy like in the movies—oh, sorry! I unconsciously used too much force again. Are you alright, Yuki!?"

Halfway through his sentence, Chunhu realized that his actions had been a bit rash, causing Youxi to show an uncomfortable expression. He hurriedly and hastily released his hand and apologized.

"Honestly, I'm too lazy to even talk to you anymore. Have you never thought that you're just too big for your age? At least be mindful of your distance from people, you idiot. Not everyone can handle your overly familiar approach."

An impatient voice came from behind, and two more people wearing the uniforms of the Morning Light Duel Academy appeared in front of Yu Xi and his companions.

One of them was a rare young man with a buzz cut. His eyes were slightly slanted upwards and had a dead fish-like appearance, making him look quite fierce.

Upon approaching, the young man with the buzz cut said to You Xi and the others, "I'm sorry, but our big-headed guy isn't very bright. Please forgive him if he offends anyone."

The young man softened his tone, but his manner remained polite.

Neither of the girls immediately appreciated this politeness.

"No, no, apologizing to us for this is useless. It's not like we suffered this pain."

"Izumi-kun, are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm okay."

Izayoi Yuki asked Yuki, who had already caught her breath thanks to Hoshino Ye's pats on the back.

He looked up at Harutora, who was much taller than him: "I'm aware of what Kido-kun said, so I'm working hard to make up for the nutrients I missed before, and I'm sure I can continue to grow taller in the future."

"Oh, is it so?"

Chunhu grinned and said, "Then let me help you with this, my dear friend! You can tell from my appearance that I'm very confident when it comes to training. With me preparing the best training methods and nutritious meals for you, it won't be long before you become as strong as me."

"No, there's no need to be like you..."

"By the way, Yuki, just call me Harutora! Calling me Kido-kun sounds too formal, it's not the way close friends should address each other."

"To be honest, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. Although I think you should already know our names, I'll say them again out of basic courtesy."

The young man with the buzz cut spoke up: "The big guy is just like he said, you can call him Chunhu. My name is Feiyu, and the one after that is our captain: Chiyu Liang."

"Yes, we have indeed heard a lot about you."

Izayoi Yuki nodded, her solemn gaze falling on the last person.

Needless to say, Kido Harutora is a top contender, and Touma, a regular member of the Morning Light Duel Academy, is certainly worth paying attention to as well.

But what is most intriguing is the existence of Akabane Ryo.

Unlike the good-for-nothing Satomi Sho, this person is the most outstanding disciple of the contemporary Electronic Flow Dojo!

Chapter 60 Xingyewu's "No."

Akabane Ryo, a third-year student at Dawn Duel Academy, is a transfer student.

Because he graduated from the Cyber ​​Dojo, his most frequently used deck is the incredibly powerful "Cyber ​​Dragon" deck, which once achieved a record of instantly defeating three opponents in a single turn. This deck relies on the "Chimera Overload Dragon," whose power increases dramatically with the amount of materials it possesses.

Such an outstanding and talented duelist will naturally become the Duel Academy's prized possession.

It is said that Satomi Sho's father, Satomi Chairman, who had retired from professional gaming, valued him highly and personally taught him a lot. After transferring from another region, he quickly replaced the third-year seniors and became the captain of the Morning Light Duel Academy's team, as well as its key figure.

His appearance can be summed up by the idiom "sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes". In contrast to his surname, Akabane Ryo's hair is dark blue, with strands of hair falling down like bird feathers covering his head.

Seeing that Izayoi Yuki and the others were looking at him, Akabane Ryo, who hadn't spoken since earlier, finally spoke.

"It's been a long time, Izayoi."

His opening remarks were a bombshell that surprised everyone.

"Oh? Xiaoxue, do you know the people across the street?"

"Captain, you actually know this beautiful woman?"

"No, we only met a few times when we were children."

Izayoi Yuki explained to Yuki and Hoshino Mai, then said to Akabane Ryo, "It really has been a long time. I didn't expect you to still remember me."

"It's been almost ten years, but you look almost exactly the same as you did back then, so you're still easy to recognize. I've heard about your uncle's situation. You're participating in the Star Cup this time to cure him, right?"

"Yes."

Izayoi Yuki's gaze met Akabane Ryo's.

"So, now that you know this, do you still intend to be my enemy?"

"of course."

Akabane Ryo replied without hesitation, "Although I feel sorry about what happened to my uncle, one thing is one thing. I also have the expectations of many people on my shoulders, and I am determined to win the Star Cup. I can't let you have it. After all, this is my last time participating in the Star Cup."

The Star Cup requires participants to be high school students with a maximum age limit. Akabane Ryo is about to exceed these requirements in both respects.

He couldn't possibly give up this last chance for a meager connection from ten years ago.

This answer was not unexpected for Izayoi Yuki.

"Then there's nothing more to say. We'll see who comes out on the field."

"That's exactly what I'm thinking. But before that, let's get our revenge here first."

As he spoke, Akabane Ryo shifted his gaze from the girl to the boy beside her.

"what?"

You Xi was taken aback. Why are you looking at me like that?

"Hahaha! Yuki, don't you know?"

Chunhu laughed and explained, "After your special admissions exam video was leaked, it made a lot of people in the academy very angry. They said it was a disgrace to the academy, which is why we had this friendly match."

"Ah! I see, that's how it is."

Upon hearing Chunhu's words, Xingye Wu finally understood why things had gone so smoothly this time.

So that's where it all started!

"Well, honestly, it doesn't matter what those guys up there think," Fei Yu said, picking his ear with a bored expression. "Anyway, all we're doing is dueling, and the only thing we're interested in is the strength of our opponents. That's why we're willing to accept this mission. So let's get down to business, shall we? Are you guys going to keep chatting and reminiscing like this?"

"That's true, it's not good to keep talking at the school gate."

As the captain of Kiyosumi's team, Izayoi Yuki nodded, turned around first, and walked into the school, saying, "Then please follow me, everyone."

……

"Oh! This is Yuki's dueling club! Not bad, not bad, doesn't it look great? I really like the atmosphere here!"
