Yu-Gi-Oh!: Worldwide Mix, the Ultimate Necromancer Duel

"Boom boom boom—!"

Fireballs rained down like meteors, relentlessly bombarding Kohinata Seika.

"ah--!!"

The screams had barely begun when they were swallowed up by the next explosion.

生命值计数器疯狂跳动：7500→7000→6500→6000→5500……

Each jump was accompanied by the explosion of a fireball.

Each explosion sent a shiver down the spines of everyone present.

Less than ten seconds.

Health points immediately drop to zero.

FTK.

Killed in the first round.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, but no sound came out.

Kohinata Seika stood still, motionless.

She hadn't even realized what had happened.

At the start of the round, Youchen goes first.

Less than five minutes into the round, her health points reached zero.

She didn't even get a chance to draw a card.

What kind of duel is this?

How come it's completely different from the duel she envisioned?

And why is it that such an unremarkable deck can achieve an amazing FTK (First Move Kill)?

She recognized all the cards individually, and they were all just random numbers.

How did they combine to become so powerful that she didn't recognize them at all?

"Holy crap..."

Someone murmured.

"That was a one-shot kill in the first round..."

That sound was like lighting a fuse, and the entire venue erupted instantly.

"This is unbelievable! You Chen is once again pushing the boundaries of my understanding!"

"My god! In all my years at Duel Academy, this is the first time I've ever seen a first-round kill!"

"What kind of incredible move is that?"

"That's incredible! Absolutely incredible!"

"Wandering Dust! Wandering Dust! Wandering Dust!"

The cheers grew louder and louder.

Judai Yuki clenched his fists, trembling with excitement: "As expected of Yu Chen! He even managed a first-round kill!"

Marufuji Sho stood beside him, his face full of envy: "I wonder when I'll ever reach that level..."

He paused, then suddenly thought of something.

"Oh right! Does that mean Kohinata Seika is Yu Chen's girlfriend?"

Just as he finished speaking, the host's voice rang out.

"This is so—so exciting!!"

The host's voice cracked as he held the microphone.

"I never imagined the duel would end so soon after it began!"

"A one-shot kill in the first round! That's spectacular!"

He took a deep breath and looked at You Chen.

"Congratulations! Yu Chen has won! As agreed, this vote will go to Tenjouin Asuka! Therefore, this year's Duel Goddess is Tenjouin Asuka!!"

A round of applause erupted from the audience.

The host paused, a gossipy smile spreading across his face.

"and--"

He dragged out the last syllable.

"As promised, Kohinata Seika will also become Yuujin's girlfriend!"

"Congratulations!! The first model couple in Duel Academy is about to be born!"

The applause instantly turned into shouts.

"Together! Together! Together!"

Kohinata Seika stood on the stage, finally coming to her senses.

She looked at You Chen and frowned slightly.

You have to accept the consequences of your bet.

What else could she say?

Moreover...

She secretly glanced at You Chen.

Good looks, top-notch skills, and a well-known reputation.

He's definitely her type.

Thinking of this, her face flushed slightly.

however--

"No need to go, you can still vote."

You Chen's voice rang out, neither hurried nor slow.

"Girlfriends are out of the question."

Kohinata Seika was stunned.

"If you really feel guilty, you can give me 100,000."

The entire room fell silent for a second.

Then an even more violent uproar erupted.

"Holy crap?!"

"One hundred thousand?!"

"He wouldn't trade 100,000 for such a beautiful girlfriend?!"

"What a fool! If Kohinata Seika became his girlfriend, how many hundreds of thousands wouldn't she have?"

"A super alloy steel straight man?"

Kohinata Seika stood there, her forehead covered in black lines.

This means—

She's not even worth 100,000?

Her face turned pale and then flushed, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

"I understand!"

Someone in the crowd slapped their thigh.

"Yu Chen likes Tenjouin Asuka! But he doesn't want to lose! He wants to cast his vote for Asuka, which is why he refused to be Kohinata Seika's boyfriend!"

"Genius!! The case is solved!!"

"That must be it! For Asuka, I'd rather give up Seika Kohinata!"

"Is there another twist?"

"What an amazing love story!"

I cried!

On the stage, Asuka Tenjouin paused in her steps as she was about to step down.

She turned around and looked at You Chen.

Then--

His eyes flickered.

"boring."

She uttered those two words, turned around, and walked off the stage.

You Chen: "..."

No, they're the ones who're bored. What does it have to do with him?

He stood there, speechless.

These people are really good at making things up.

He took a deep breath and looked at the group of students who were still frantically imagining things.

"Why don't you all imagine that I'm the Emperor of Shurima?"

"And you are my sand soldiers."

"You'd all be reduced to ashes with a flick of your finger."

Meanwhile, the two idiots, Manjou-me and Misawa Daichi, believed it to be true and immediately regarded Yu Chen as their number one rival in love. "Yu Chen-kun! Draw your sword!"

He ignored him and turned to leave.

Behind him, Kohinata Seika stood still, clenching her fists and staring at his back.

"snort!!"

She gritted her teeth and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Wait! You Chen!"

"I will make you submit to my charm!"

"You'll definitely fall in love with me!"

……

a few days later.

Sunlight streamed onto the Duel Academy's helipad, and the roar of propellers grew louder as it approached.

A black private helicopter slowly landed.

The hatch opened.

Many students who witnessed this scene couldn't help but pause in their tracks.

Several guards dressed in black suits stepped out first, carrying silver metal boxes with the International Illusion Society logo printed on them.

One box.

Two boxes.

Three boxes.

Six boxes in total.

Then, a tall, slender figure in red appeared at the cabin door.

Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded over her shoulders, her red suit was spotless, and the scarf at her collar was tied just right.

Pegasus J. Crawford.

He gracefully stepped down the gangway and stood on the land of the Duel Academy.

The thousand-year-old eye, hidden by bangs, slowly swept across the surroundings.

The vast arena of the King's Battle Royale at Duel Academy.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Dear students—"

His voice was languid and drawn out, echoing in the air.

"Welcome to King's Battle Royale!!"

He paused, then raised his glass of red wine.

"immediately--"

"The match is about to begin."

"And here are the rare cards I've prepared for you!"

"Soon, this place will become a grand dueling paradise!"

Pegasus's voice faded.

The other students began to cheer.

"It's Pegasus!"

"This is my idol! He's someone who's on par with Seto Kaiba."

"The King's Battle Royale is finally here!! Just wait! The championship is mine!"

"Judging from this, it seems there are a lot of new rare cards. Looking forward to it!"
