Who let him play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Ikkaku Tachibana knelt on the ground, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and he was doubting his life. Just from his posture, he looked like the painful look when the murderer was exposed at the end of each Conan episode.

It's not like he has never lost before, he has long been accustomed to it. After all, he sought the power of the god of death because he rarely won at card games. Well, he can't be said to be accustomed to it, after all, this was his first defeat since he obtained the power of the god of death.

But it's not strange to just lose. His opponent is the Duel King, and Tachibana Ikkaku is not really so arrogant that he thinks that even the Duel King can ignore him just because he has the power of the God of Death. He may lose, but he doesn't care. He just wants to verify this power and prove his deck.

As long as he could get the chance to fight the Duel King and verify his own limits after gaining this power, he had thought about the possibility of failure.

But even if he lost, he never dreamed that he would lose at the Iai card drawing that he was most obsessed with.

Isn't this an entertainment deck for performance purposes?

Isn't it because the deck he loved so much was too acrobatic, and he failed and was ridiculed again and again, that he finally couldn't bear it anymore and chose to turn to darkness and sell his soul in exchange for the power of the god of death?

If I can do acrobatics without selling my soul, then wouldn't I be selling out my loneliness?

This was the first time in his life that he was defeated by the opponent's Iai card draw, and he was confused until the end.

In fact, the question marks in the minds of several onlookers may be no less than his.

It was normal for Yugen to do acrobatics, nothing strange about that. But Iai card drawing? Even Yugen had never seen him use it before.

Why not do it earlier or later, but today, with this death duelist as his opponent, it is hard to say that he didn't do it on purpose.

What does this mean? It triggers the passive ability of giving someone a taste of their own medicine, right?

Then Judai came forward and patted Tachibana Ikkaku's shoulder with a smile. The student finally came to his senses and looked at him blankly with his head raised.

"How do you feel?" Judai asked with a smile.

"Feeling? What feeling?"

Ikkaku Tachibana sat limply on the ground, staring at the Grim Reaper floating beside him.

It was said that as long as the soul was traded, victory could be exchanged. Now that he had lost the game, the Grim Reaper, as a model businessman who never cheated anyone, naturally felt embarrassed to take the soul, so he just stared at him, as if communicating with each other with his eyes.

Ju Yijiao: Didn't you say that you can win if you risk your life? Is that possible? You are so stupid.

Death: I have already guaranteed that you will win every time you draw, what else do you want? You lost this time, isn't it because you are bad?

“.”

Judai said to Tachibana Ikkaku with a smile: "Of course it's the understanding of duels. Not everyone can have the opportunity to fight against the Duel King.

And, didn’t you notice?”

"Noticed what?" Ju Yijiao was puzzled.

"You Xuan is trying to tell you something through this duel." Judai said, "You don't think that he usually duels with a deck like this, do you?"

Ju Ikkaku was startled.

The Duel King told me something through this duel.

"Your deck is great, especially 'One Hit Kill! Iai Card Draw'. There's no better way to win than this!"

Judai said excitedly.

"When you go through so much hardship and finally create a miracle with that crucial card draw, it's very exciting, right?"

Orange reflected on the corner.

Indeed. He was initially fascinated by this card because of the joy that came with successfully drawing a card. His adrenaline surged and his blood boiled, as if he had created a whole world by drawing a card that time. That feeling was truly fascinating.

That's why he's been so obsessed with the Iai draw.

"In the beginning, you definitely didn't choose this deck for the sake of winning, right?" Judai said, "but for the excitement of surprising the opponent when you draw that card, so that everyone can see and recognize that your deck is the best."

Tachibana Ikkaku couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed. When he first built the deck, he did not consider winning or losing as the top priority. As long as he could let everyone see his dream deck and let everyone cheer for the moment when he drew a card, nothing else mattered.

Even if you lose, you must lose magnificently.

But ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Reality does not always allow him to be carefree and not care about winning or losing, especially for a duelist whose career goal is dueling, winning or losing often carries a lot of weight.

And he didn't always win the applause and cheers as he had imagined. On the contrary, as his performance in the academy got worse and worse, he repeatedly failed to draw key cards in important duels and was defeated repeatedly. Gradually, he began to become a laughing stock, a topic of conversation among other students, and a representative of the academy's losers.

Duel Academy is a place that advocates elite education and does not tolerate scum. Poor students with poor grades will be excluded and looked down upon, let alone acrobatic players with a touching success rate?

That's why his mentality changed quietly.

He wanted to win, and he had to win with his soul cards. He wanted to make those who looked down on him speechless, and make everyone have to admit his deck.

Yes, since when did everything change?

"This is what You Xuan told you through the duel!" Judai coaxed, "If you don't achieve it with your own strength, then it's meaningless, right?"

"You sacrificed your life to win. So who is the winner, you or the god of death?"

"How many times have you successfully activated the Iai card draw now? Ten times? Twenty times?"

"But even if you can hit the target every time now, how long has it been since you last felt the excitement of winning the lottery?"

Ikkaku: “!”

He suddenly raised his head and looked at You Xuan in surprise.

Did the Duel King want to tell me this through the duel?

Indeed. When you win a duel like this, who is the winner, you or the god of death?

Is it really worth sacrificing your life for such a false victory?

"I understand!"

He stood up and said excitedly.

“Even without relying on the Grim Reaper, you can pull off seemingly impossible combinations, just like Mr. Youxuan just demonstrated.

Either you believe in your own deck, treat every card draw carefully, and accumulate experience through thousands of times of practice.

Or develop more stable tactics and use your brains and wisdom to create 100% possibility."

The more he spoke, the more moved he became.

This is Duel King.

Suddenly, he felt that it was so ridiculous for him to rely on the god of death and indulge in this false power. He thought that he had stepped into the circle of the strong with the help of external forces, but he didn't know that he was actually getting further and further away from the path of the strong.

"Right?"

Judai smiled at Yugen.

"I understand correctly, right? Does You Xuan have anything else to add?"

You Xuan smiled and indicated no.

What else can I say?

The class representative is right.

"I have completely understood, Mr. Yugen. From now on, I will carefully cultivate the bond with the deck and look for new possibilities for Iai card drawing!"

Tachibana Ikkaku said firmly.

"I won't give up, and I won't rely on the power of the God of Death anymore. From now on, I will rely on my own strength to become a duelist like you, and bring my deck to the world stage!"

"Your words will certainly do it."

You Xuan expressed his encouragement to the younger generation, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"In that case, you won't be able to use that card with the power of the god of death anymore, right?"

Ju Ikkaku was stunned: "Ah, that's right"

"The power of this card is too dangerous, and the water is too deep for you to control."

You Xuan Dao.

"Why not leave it to me?"
