Who let him play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Alice, with disheveled hair, blinked blankly, pushed the messy hair away from her forehead in confusion, secretly glanced at You Xuan, and then looked at the man in the long windbreaker in front of her.

Is this person very powerful?

You Xuan said that she was no match for him. Alice was still a little unconvinced and couldn't help pouting angrily.

I'm obviously pretty good at saying that.

"Masumi Momono, huh?" You Xuan looked at the man in front of him. "The former 'card store destroyer' has now started to accept mercenary commissions."

"Oh?" The man in the long windbreaker chuckled. "Are there still people who know my name back then? Interesting."

Masumi Momono appears in the DM spin-off "Yu-Gi-Oh! R". Or maybe it's more appropriate to say it's a spin-off of a spin-off. Because his story has nothing to do with the main plot of Yu-Gi-Oh! R, he's just a character who appears in the short story at the end of the volume.

In order to attract more customers, Yugi's grandfather Muto Sugoroku publicly displayed the three mythical gods in the card shop to attract duelists to come and worship. He also held a store competition to attract duelists from all walks of life to participate. The winner can duel with Yugi, who is the duel king.

That competition attracted the person who was known as the "Card Shop Destroyer" in the dueling world at that time, namely Masumi Momono.

He looted decks through duels and demanded protection money from stores, similar to some kind of street card mafia.

Although he was a street thug, he was quite capable. It was said that he had never lost a game before he met Yugi, and had taken away countless people's decks. Even Jonouchi lost to this younger brother of Momono Masumi in a store tournament.

The card shop destroyers are best at collecting intelligence about powerful opponents in advance and choosing the right deck to deal with them according to their opponent's deck. They built a hundred decks with the stolen cards and named them "counter-decks", each of which can target a different type of opponent.

The biggest reliance of the card shop destroyer is to choose different decks according to different opponents. Jonouchi fell into this trap.

Well, a stand similar to Yu Xuan

Of course, he was eventually defeated by the invincible Wang Yang. Although this side story is a little unpopular, "Guts, the Messenger of the Underworld", which later became active as a super-common hand trap in the environment, was the card Wang Yang used in this game.

"Really? I was planning to keep a low profile this time, but I ended up running into the Duel King right away."

Momono Masumi rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"It's not an exaggeration to say that Duel Academy is the king's territory. So, if that's the case..."

He raised his head and sneered softly.

"Since you can't hide, come on!"

"Duel!" x2

【You Xuan, LP4000】

【Masumi, LP4000】

"I attack first, draw a card!" Masumi Momono took the first attack.

He hesitated slightly when choosing a deck.

He was best at collecting intelligence in advance to target the enemy, but the opponent before him was unusual.

As the Duel King, You Xuan is of course a public figure. In the entire duel world, there should be countless people studying and analyzing each of his public duels.

But the more he studied, the more Masumi found that this guy was difficult to deal with. Because whether intentionally or unintentionally, this guy used a different deck in almost every public duel.

There was almost no uniformity in the fields, attributes, races, etc. of the commonly used cards. If we were to integrate the decks that You Xuan used in each duel, he would be like a Transformer, and there was no way to target him even if we wanted to.

If we must say that there is something strongly personal about this person’s tactics, that common characteristic is probably “irritating”.

If you want to use "counter-deck" against your opponent, but end up using the wrong deck, you will end up in a situation that is absolutely disadvantageous to you.

So after thinking it over again and again, Masumi Momono decided to be safe and chose the deck that he usually uses when facing opponents with unknown information, which is also his most handy deck.

"Cover a monster face-down on the field." Momono Masumi said, "Then add another face-down card and set it to the backfield. The turn ends."

"It's my turn, draw a card."

You Xuan took a look at the card he drew, and then showed it directly.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed' and draw two cards from your deck."

"Then summon this card"

You Xuan smiled mysteriously and placed an unremarkable monster card onto the duel board.

"Summon 'Hand-Hand Demon' to attack."

The one who appeared was a little devil with black wings. He looked ugly, but had a pair of huge hands that did not match his small body.

[Hand in Hand Demon, Attack Power 1000]

"Hand-in-hand demon?" Momono Masumi muttered, "He adopted a defensive stance right from the start. Is this how a duel between kings works?"

You Xuan smiled but said nothing.

"Then activate the magic card 'Bond of Brothers'." You Xuan said, "Pay 1000 life points, select a level 4 or lower monster on your field, and Special Summon two monsters of the same type and star level as the selected monster from your deck. However, those monsters cannot be used for attack or sacrifice!" (Original effect)

【You Xuan, LP4000→LP3000】

After the card is turned into a real card, you need to pay 2000 life points, and you cannot perform other special summons during the turn you activate it, and you cannot summon a card with the same name. But the original card does not have this restriction.

He pointed at the hand-holding demon on the field.

"Special Summon two more 'Hand-Handed Demon' from the deck." Yugen said, "But monsters summoned by this effect can't attack or be sacrificed, so put these two in Defense Position."

[Hand in Hand Demon, Defense 1600] x2

"Then we fight." You Xuan said, "Use the first card, 'Hand-Holding Demon', to attack the monster covered face down."

The hand-holding demon slapped the monster in front of him, and the monster turned over. The angel with a halo on his head was half-crouching on the ground, with huge wings interlaced like a shield in front of him.

[Glorious Angel, Defense 800]

The hand-holding demon slapped the angel in his defensive posture, and the latter exploded into a golden spot of light and disappeared.

"By the effect of Radiant Angel, when this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, select a LIGHT monster with an ATK of 1500 or less from your Deck and Special Summon it."

Masumi Momono retrieves a monster from the deck and plays it.

"Special Summon 'Cotton Ball'!"

A dazzling white light gathered on the field, and the white light spots condensed into the shape of a soft, white fluffy ball with a very cute expression on its face.

[Cotton Ball, Defense 300]

"Cotton balls?" You Xuan said.

This is also a monster used in the game. The effect is that it can be special summoned when it is added to the hand from the deck by the effect of the card. But why do we need to search for such a thing?

"Two cards are hidden, and the round is over." You Xuan said.

If there is anything special about cotton balls.

You Xuan quickly realized that this monster was a 1-star and an angel.

In other words, the other party is likely to have that card.

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

Sure enough, Momoya Masumi waved his hand.

"Activate the card, continuous magic--

——Heavenly Court!”

You Xuan was not surprised at all.

really.
