Yu-Gi-Oh, the tenth generation of card-playing simulator!

Although Hana Benxue cleaned up the opponent's front and back fields in this round, the hand card resources of both sides were basically exhausted. In the next round, the card named Golden Country Field in the opponent's graveyard was activated again. Through its own feature of excluding and searching deck cards, it forced the battle situation between the two sides to a draw again.

After several rounds of back-and-forth gaming, the deck resources of both sides gradually became much scarcer, and even time became a struggle for both sides. Forty minutes passed unknowingly in the long deliberation, until the reminder from Dead Three on the radio echoed in the ears of several people.

Chapter 8: Return, first meeting with the teacher at Daitokuji Temple

"Huh, it wasn't easy. In the end, we won using this method."

After the game was over, Hana Benxue let out a long sigh of relief.

"Death Triple Rule: Since the duelist competition lasts too long, an overtime period will be used to determine the winner based on health points within three rounds."

Judai recalled the previous match. It was obviously a wonderful game, but due to the time limit of the competition, both sides had to decide the winner within three rounds. In the end, the opponent used a counterattack trap card called [Declaration of God] in the previous game, which led to losing the game in the final stage due to lower health.

This kind of rule is really cold...I can't agree with it.

Before this rule was explained, from Judai's perspective, the world had already evolved a very mature way of dueling. But this last cold rule made Judai inexplicably uncomfortable, even though it allowed his fellow player Hana Benxue to successfully win the game.

Why can't they just continue? It's obvious that after a few more rounds, the stalemate will change. Wouldn't that make the outcome of the duel more convincing? Looking at Hana Benxue's smiling face in front of him, Judai suddenly felt a sense of loneliness from a foreign land.

With inexplicable emotions, Judai continued to watch Hana Benxue's next game. Fortunately, in the subsequent duels, Hana Benxue finally shook off the slump of encountering natural enemies at the beginning, and defeated three opponents in succession using the Migrant Bird deck. It was not until the fifth round that she met the boss of the offline competition, a duelist using the Pearl Tear deck.

Even Judai, who was sitting nearby watching the match, heard from the people around him about how powerful Zhu Lei was. Just when he thought it would be another fierce battle, Hana Benxue, who was on high alert, received an invitation to a draw from the other party. The reason was that the points obtained in the first four rounds were enough for both of them to advance, and continuing the duel would be meaningless except for wasting energy.

This was the first time that Hana Benxue, who was participating in an offline competition, had heard such a statement. After confirming with the person next to her, she quickly agreed to the other party's request.

Under such circumstances, the following games became easier. Hana Benxue even had the leisure to chat with Judai until another alarm rang.

"The competition is over, here are the top 8 players..."

The voice of the staff finally sounded over the small radio. It was the report of the eight duelists who would be competing today. Just when Judai wanted to congratulate Hana Benxue, a familiar feeling of being hit by a club came over him again. Then his vision suddenly went dark, and his five senses failed again.

After all, he had experienced this feeling three times in a row. This time, Judai finally developed some immunity to the outside world. After a moment of strangeness, Judai felt that he was falling down in a daze.

With a dull sound, he felt that he fell onto some soft platform. It seemed that he did not fall directly on the ground, but on a bed?

The sudden change made Judai's vision go dark. He rubbed the object under him and felt like he touched...a bed sheet?

"Classmate, Judai-san, are you okay?"

While Judai was thinking, he vaguely heard someone calling him from outside. He struggled to open his eyes and felt that the figure in front of him looked familiar.

"Professor Daitokuji!?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Judai, who was lying on the bed, asked a name tentatively. At the same time, his eyes gradually adapted to the light, and the figure in his field of vision gradually became clearer.

Sure enough, it was the professor of the Duel Academy he was going to apply for. He had seen the other person's full profile in a newspaper, so he could accurately say the other person's name at this moment.

At this moment, Daitokuji's face lacked any of the dignity of a teacher. Instead, it was filled with worry. Looking closely, there seemed to be beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Judai-san, why did you suddenly faint at the security checkpoint? Don't worry, we've called the nearby hospital and the doctor will be here soon."

"Ah, did I faint? It's okay, Professor. I'm completely fine now." Upon hearing this, Judai realized that he had inexplicably returned to the main world. He immediately jumped up from the bed in joy, waving his arms.

"Look, I'm fine now. I feel so strong I can kill a cow!"

Daitokuji teacher was also shocked when he saw Judai suddenly jump up from the sickbed. How could the student who had just fainted suddenly become so energetic?

"By the way, Professor Daitokuji, what time is it now? Can I still take the written exam?"

"Well..." Looking at Judai's expectant eyes, Professor Daitokuji, who was always a little soft-hearted, hesitated:

"About half an hour has passed since you fell unconscious. If you truly believe you're okay, you can take the written test."

"Really? That's great!"

Upon hearing this, Judai jumped up with joy, his hair almost touching the ceiling. He really couldn't be seen as a patient who had just been in a coma.

"That's wonderful! Thank you, Professor Daitokuji! You are such a kind and generous professor."

Judai was grateful to Professor Daitokuji in front of him, and ran out of the spare infirmary in a flash.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're in the wrong place, young man. The written exam classroom is on the other side."

Daitokuji, who was also walking out slowly, saw Judai running in the opposite direction and quickly reminded him.

"Oh, okay, thank you!"

Judai reacted quickly, waved towards Daitoku-ji Temple, and quickly ran to the other side.

"What a vibrant young man."

Looking at this scene, Daitokuji teacher smiled like an auntie and took off his sweat-stained glasses and wiped them off:

"But I have to greet the incoming medical staff outside first. I'd like to ask them to stay in the examination room for a while. Even though this little guy says he's fine, it's always better to be prepared. It's always better to be prepared."

Daitokuji murmured something and put on his glasses again. At the same time, a cat came out from nowhere and ran into his arms again. The man and the cat slowly walked towards the security check area.

Chapter 9: Meteor answers Judai's wish

When Judai ran into the written examination room, the invigilator had already received the signal from Professor Daitoku-ji and did not make things difficult for Judai. Instead, he kindly told Judai the specific seat so that he could get into the examination state as soon as possible.

Even though he entered the examination room half an hour later than the others, Judai was not worried at all. He had learned long ago that the Duel Academy's exams were divided into written and practical tests. Even if his written test was a little bad, as long as he performed well in the practical test, he could still be admitted to the academy.

Judai, who had just sat down, cheered himself up while opening the written test paper. However, the first question made him scratch his head.

A company that makes duel cards... Weird, why would this be included in the duel written test?

The first professional league was held in... I think it was Tongye City...

Who is the duelist with the longest reign as champion in history?... What should I do? I suddenly feel like my mind is blank.

A series of multiple-choice questions stunned Judai. If he followed his previous style, he would probably just leave these questions blank. However, after a round of time travel, he came up with a better idea.

Under the invigilator's astonished gaze, Judai seriously cut a piece of eraser into a cube.

"One is A, two is B... If you roll a five or a six, roll again."

A whisper full of wisdom came from Judai's mouth, and with the movement of the dice, the multiple-choice questions on the first page were completed at a rapid speed. Even though it was half an hour late, with this extremely efficient test-solving behavior, Judai's progress was actually at the forefront of the students in the room.

"Great, this way, I don't have to worry about running out of time!"

After guessing three pages of multiple-choice questions, Judai let out a long sigh:

"Then now all that's left is the final short answer session."

As Judai turned the page of the test paper again, a new question came into view:

Question 1: Please briefly describe the classification and functions of trap cards.

This question?

Seeing this, Judai couldn't help but smile. Although he had guessed the answers to the previous questions, he now really knew how to answer this one.

Recalling the cards from the previous game, Judai wrote down all the trap cards: Trap cards are divided into permanent traps, normal traps, and counter traps. For example...

Next question, can monster cards in your hand activate their effects during your opponent's turn? Please list the cards that can activate their effects.

Monster cards in your hand can activate their effects during your opponent's turn. These cards are collectively called hand pits. They all have a universal effect—the effect of this card can also be activated during your opponent's turn, allowing you to interfere with or block actions outside of their turn. Specific cards include: [Dimensional Attractor], [Proliferating G]...

The series of questions that he could handle made Judai feel like a fish in water. He felt that the door of Duel Academy was open to him, and soon the tip of his pen came to the last pioneering question.

As a student who may become a Duel Academy student and will work in a job related to the Duel industry after graduation, as someone who has not yet entered the professional arena, do you have any suggestions for today's competitions?

This question... Judai bit the tip of his pen, and suddenly felt that those few hits with a club were not unfair, after all, the meteor was really fulfilling his wish.

"I think that as a large-scale professional card duel, it shouldn't rely on a single match to determine the winner. Professional players can adopt a best-of-three format, and after each match, introduce the concept of side..."

At this moment, Judai wrote down his experiences in the other world in a very eloquent manner, and even the invigilating staff stopped in their tracks after seeing his dense handwriting.

Weird, wasn't this guy using dice to answer multiple-choice questions just now? Why did he suddenly become so confident when it came to the difficult short-answer questions?

.....

After carefully filling in the last corner of the test paper, Judai couldn't help but stretch proudly.

I arrived at the exam room half an hour late, but was able to finish writing half an hour earlier.

It’s me, Judai Yujo!

In the past, facing the remaining time, he would definitely choose to conserve his energy on the spot, but today he has another choice.

Player: Yujo Judai.

Deck: [Hero] (Miscellaneous Soldier Level)

.......

As Judai sank his consciousness into his mind, the familiar introduction panel reappeared, and another prompt followed.

"Congratulations, player, for completing a duel journey. This journey is rated C-low. Your game was short and boring. Would you like to view the detailed evaluation and gains?"

The voice in his mind was echoing. Judai, who had just finished the test paper, was still a little dizzy, but this voice seemed to have a kind of magic. Even without further explanation, it made Judai understand the operating principles of the duel simulator.

As the thought came to mind, a new panel appeared in front of the tenth generation's eyes.

Experience the world: the azure star field.

Progress to next opening: 0.1%

Reputation: 10 (You pulled out an extremely rare Minion deck during your journey, sparking some interest among the surrounding duelists. Unfortunately, your match didn't produce any real results. Otherwise, if you could have used Minion to win, your reputation would have been far higher.)

Duel record: 0 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw

The reason you received a rating of C for your first duel journey is mostly because the time you spent dueling was too short. If you can sign up to participate in the points competition, I believe you will be able to achieve an impressive record. It is recommended that you continue to duel to the end no matter what.

In addition, as a first-time journey, you will not only receive a full ten Duel Points, but you can also choose one of the following options as a reward:

1. Boss Lei's gift for new players (Since you have almost no dueling experience, the helpful Boss Lei is willing to provide you with a super detailed new player guide)

2. Hana Benxue's invitation to travel with you (Hana Benxue, a fellow newcomer, has developed a bond with you and wants to share some of her bird-traveling skills with you)

3. Heroes' Reluctance (Faced with the powerful strength of the New World Duelists, your Hero Deck refuses to remain silent. This option grants three rare Hero Field cards.)

Chapter 10: Chrollos: Don't stop me, Judai's first duel belongs to me!

Looking at the choices given by the simulator, even though he really wanted to get the tenth generation, his admiration for the hero made him instinctively click on the third option.

The moment he made the choice, Judai suddenly felt a bright light appear in front of his eyes. At the same time, a lot of hero monsters that Judai was familiar with appeared out of thin air in this virtual space. Under Judai's gaze, the shadows of these heroes fell into the light column one after another. As the light ended, three brand new cards appeared in front of Judai, and then they directly drilled out of this virtual space and entered Judai's duel card box as if they had consciousness.

"what!"

The sudden change made Judai scream in surprise, regardless of the surrounding atmosphere, and even stood up from his exam seat.

"No talking in the exam room. Keep quiet, Judai-san!"

When the invigilator saw Judai suddenly stand up, his expression immediately became serious and he gave him a stern warning.

"Oh, sorry, teacher." Realizing that he was still taking an exam, Judai quickly apologized and sat down again.

It was strange, they seemed not to see what had just happened. Judai glanced at the people who were still concentrating on their homework and could only bury his doubts deep in his heart.

"Jingle Bell!"

After a while, the bell finally rang, signaling the end of the exam. Upon hearing the bell, Judai rushed out of the classroom like a wild horse, leaving the invigilator with a messy face.

"Really? I should have stopped writing as soon as the bell rang, but he ran so fast. This guy called Judai is really exaggerating. Why would Professor Daitokuji pay attention to a student like this..."

The invigilator complained quietly, and only collected all the test papers after all the students had left. The end of the exam was only the end for the students, but for these teachers, the real busyness had just begun.

......

On the afternoon of the second day, at the Duel Academy located outside Tongye City, two colleagues who frequently visited the principal's office arrived.

"Dong dong, dong dong dong."

"Please come in!"

After a few knocks on the door, Principal Samejima's calm voice came from inside.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon. The leisurely Principal Jiaodao was learning an ancient craft. The bone china teapot in front of him was emitting white steam, and several blue and white porcelain teacups were filled with deep red water.

Facing the two colleagues who had just taken their seats, Principal Samejima cheerfully pushed the freshly brewed tea in front of them:

"Lepsang Souchong, Kurolos, Professor Daitokuji can try it."

"Great tea, you're so thoughtful, Principal."
