“Ryota contacted me first, but that jealous kid of yours gave me an extra 50,000…”

"If I agree to your request, my reputation as a disciplinary committee member will be affected; if I agree to his, my wallet will suffer."

"This is really a bit of a dilemma~"

"How about this?"

Ushio Tetsu smiled with great interest.

"Let's have a match of the most popular Duel Monsters right now!"

"Whoever wins will have the opportunity to negotiate with me."

Ryota was taken aback, then pulled a stack of cards from his pocket: "Duel Monsters... I happen to have a set."

Ushio Tetsuya looked at Yu Shuo and said with a wicked smile, "What about you, Yu Shuo? If you don't have a deck, don't blame me~"

Chapter 3 Ultra Rare Monster Card - Demon Beast Spirit

Duel Monsters...

Niuwei Zhe's spur-of-the-moment decision was the best possible turning point for You Shuo.

but……

It's still that same serious problem!

You Shuo currently doesn't even have a single card, let alone a deck.

If card duels are not possible, Ushio Tetsuya will decide to help that beast Ryota...

You Shuo pondered silently.

There are no cards available right now...

This does not mean that there have never been any cards.

According to his prediction, he would soon obtain a deck.

All that's left to do is stall for time.

At this moment, Ryota, who had absolutely no confidence in Duel Monsters, gradually revealed a smug and arrogant smile: "You don't have any cards, right? In that case, don't blame me for being impolite."

You Shuo raised his head slightly and sneered, "Even if you beat me to death here, Nosaka Miho will only see you as a lapdog."

"What did you say?!" Ryota immediately flew into a rage, grabbing his stick and about to step forward.

You Shuo said with a faint smile, "What? Our disciplinary committee member just said that we should solve the problem by fighting monsters. Do you not take our disciplinary committee member seriously?"

Ryota put the stick down again, gritted his teeth and shouted, "You have a deck, huh? Then take it out!"

You Shuo secretly calculated the time, calmly smiling, and delayed as much as possible:

"What's the rush? I can't run away."

"Although you can't possibly beat me at fighting monsters."

"But before I beat you and take care of you, you piece of trash."

"There are some things I need to make clear."

Ushio Tetsuya, who was watching the show from the sidelines, smiled and lit a cigarette. He felt great about being at the top of power.

Little did he know that when he helped Ryota tie You Shuo up here, You Shuo had already figured out how to deal with him.

Thirteen minutes had passed since You Shuo was tied up in this abandoned factory, and he continued to look at Liang Tai with a mocking gaze:

"You don't actually think so."

"If I hadn't shown up today, your confession would have been successful, right?"

"You should know perfectly well how Miho Nosaka treats you, no matter how thick-skinned you are!"

"If she had even the slightest bit of affection for a scumbag like you, your relationship wouldn't have cooled down to this extent."

"To be honest, you should actually thank me."

"Because of my appearance, you didn't become the one who failed in confessing your feelings, and you weren't so embarrassed and awkward in front of all your classmates~"

Ryota roared, "Enough! Stop with the nonsense! No matter what, I'm going to get you today! If you have a deck, pull it out; if not, you're doomed!"

"Ding-dong----"

[Miho Nosaka - Affection level decreased!]

[87%→63%]

[Rewards obtained: Duel Cards *24]

"Ding-dong----"

[Mazaki Kyoko - Affection level decreased!]

[21%→6%]

[Rewards obtained: Duel Cards *15]

The continuous notification sounds from the system made You Shuo even more composed.

"really……"

"Just as expected."

You Shuo thought to himself.

He redeemed the duel card rewards provided by the system, and a barely perceptible faint light appeared. A total of thirty-nine cards appeared in his school uniform pocket.

"Maki Kyoko turned down her part-time job tonight to help me, but I stood her up."

"Miho Nosaka was also stood up..."

"Their popularity ratings have indeed dropped significantly..."

Suppressing his anger, You Shuo smiled and looked at Niuwei Zhe: "Disciplinary Committee member, I want to take out the card deck. I wonder if you could let go of my hand?"

Niu Weizhe wasn't afraid that You Shuo would run away. He lit a cigarette and walked over.

He was very pleased with You Shuo's constant use of the term "Disciplinary Committee Member".

"Shh-"

With a slash of his folding knife, the rope fell to the ground.

You Shuo flexed his wrist and took out the card deck from Ryota's school uniform pocket, whose face was almost contorted with anger.

"Come on, we can begin now."

Ryota wasn't confident in his Duel Monster skills, so he tried to win using some underhanded tactics: "Wait a minute, I need to check the number of cards in your deck!"

"According to the rules of Duel Monsters, a deck of at least forty cards is required to engage in battle."

"Look closely, my deck has a total of fifty-five cards!"

"Do you have enough?!"

Forty sheets...

You Shuo only had thirty-nine cards in his hand.

If the rules cannot be met, You Shuo will be directly judged as the loser.

However, You Shuo remained calm.

As expected, Masaki Kyoko's favorability rating suddenly plummeted again, probably because she realized that Yu Shuo had stood her up and angrily left the school gate.

[Maki Kyoko's affection level has decreased!]

[6%-25%]

[Rewards obtained: 30 Duel Cards, 1 Rare Cards]

The drop in favorability to a negative number allowed You Shuo to directly obtain a rare monster card!

There's no time to adjust the deck, but since I'm playing against a newbie anyway, there's no need to adjust it at all.

You Shuo didn't bother to look at the thirty ordinary reward cards. He directly exchanged the randomly obtained rare monster card and showed it off.

"Shh-"

“You’re right, this deck does indeed only have thirty-nine cards,” You Shuo changed the subject, “but that’s because—the ace should always be kept separate, right?”

Ryota's mood was like a rollercoaster.

His expression changed drastically when he saw You Shuo take another card out of his pocket.

"Na, Nanni?!"

"It's actually..."

"A demonic beast spirit?!"

【Demon Beast Spirit】

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Demon Race]

Attack/Defense: 2600/1900

[Description: A monster said to unleash its true power through metallization.]

Top-tier Demon-type monster card!

In this era where summoning high-level monsters doesn't require tributes, this card's combat power completely overwhelms the Demon Summoning in the hands of the protagonist, Yugi Muto!

Yu Shuo calmly inserted the imposing monster card into his deck right in front of Ryota and began shuffling it.

Ryota clenched his fists.

His deck didn't have any cards that could defeat the Demon Beast Spirit...

But it's not certain that You Shuo will be so lucky as to draw a demon beast spirit right away.

Moreover, if he doesn't accept the challenge, Niuwei Zhe will be bribed by You Shuo, and his fate will be extremely ugly!

"bring it on!"

Ryota made up his mind.

The two arrived in front of a large, overturned metal cabinet and began this extraordinary game.

Ushio Tetsuya sat high up, watching excitedly. He lit a new cigarette and announced loudly in a gruff voice:

"We can begin!"

"Let's make the rules clear beforehand, so they don't get out and ruin my reputation as a disciplinary committee member."

"In this game, the loser becomes the trash that gets swept away."
