As soon as she entered, she heard laughter coming from the room: "I was just wondering who the next guest would be, but I didn't expect it to be such a powerful big shot."
As that enchanting voice rang out, a dim lamp lit up in the room, and a woman sat cross-legged in the corner under the lamp.
Although she couldn't see her face clearly, her long, wine-red hair and the strangely shaped ring on her index finger convinced Saori Isono that she had found the right person.
"Are you the dueling hunter known as the 'Vampire Queen'?"
"In front of Miss Kaiba's secretary, my name as a queen is not worth mentioning at all. I am very curious as to why you would come to find me, a duelist who walks in the darkness."
Upon hearing this, the woman chuckled softly.
"Of course, I'm asking you to take care of one of my prey!"
Saori Isono took out a document containing Yuki's information and slammed it on the table. With her power, obtaining this information would not be difficult.
"What? The prey is just a kid who just started school... Wait, he can control the Blue-Eyes White Dragon? And he even defeated Ruri Kaiba in a duel?"
The woman in the darkness picked up the documents and glanced at them.
"He was just lucky!"
Saori Isono frowned, but quickly regained her composure. "Ahem, in short, this person is yours to hunt down. I want you to completely defeat Yuki in the dueling ceremony and make him drop out of school!"
The Duel Ritual was originally the final battle between Yami Yugi and Omote Yugi in Yu-Gi-Oh!!
Later, as history progressed, people gave the dueling ceremony new meaning in order to commemorate this great battle.
In the Duelist Academy, any two duelists can start a duel as long as they meet three conditions.
First, the dueling ceremony must be initiated by one duelist, agreed to by the other duelist, and supervised by a professional referee appointed by the school to be valid.
Secondly, before the duel begins, both sides must offer sacrifices, and the sacrifices must be of equal value. The victor will receive all the sacrifices.
Finally, the dueling ceremony must be held in a special ceremonial dueling arena on campus, and every member of the school has the right to watch the battle.
Simply put, it's an officially recognized dark fantasy game.
The so-called sacrifice is the stake used by both sides in the battle. It can be anything: cards, money, promises that must be kept, or even the duelists themselves.
And once you lose, the bet is lost, even if you bet on yourself.
Saori Isono plans to expel Yuki from school during the duel ceremony, thus eliminating this "love rival" completely.
“Miss Secretary, the prey you’ve entrusted to me is quite difficult. I don’t even know how to get him to agree to the duel ritual, and… how much reward are you prepared to offer?”
The woman in the darkness chuckled softly.
A dueling hunter is a duelist who accepts commissions to kill "prey" through a dueling ritual and receive a reward.
In a sense, they are similar to Gurus under the command of the sunny boy Malik, but the difference is that this group not only wants cards but also lives.
"I'm using this card as bait and a reward."
Saori Isono sent a card directly over.
..... ... ....
I wonder how the duelists in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world trained, but they all know the techniques of Flying Cards.
In the darkness, the woman raised her hand and firmly grasped the card.
"This is... a card with a sleeping spirit?"
She glanced at the cards, and her voice suddenly trembled slightly.
As is well known, in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, duelists with spirits and duelists without spirits are completely different concepts.
Those duelists who can control spirits can even skip the duel phase and use the spirits' power to attack directly, which is like hitting a person without playing cards.
For every duelist, being able to command a spirit is a dream, and the "Vampire Queen" before them is no exception.
"Use this card as a sacrifice to duel that Yuki. If you can successfully expel him from school, this card will be your reward."
Saori Isono said coldly.
"Ha ha……"
A joyful laugh echoed from the darkness, and a bright red tongue lightly licked the strange ring: "I can't wait any longer!"
The next morning, You Ji sat in his seat with dark circles under his eyes.
"Yuki, what's wrong?"
His deskmate, the girl who had handed him the handkerchief earlier, was startled.
"Um...what's your name?"
As a straight man, Yuji not only got a girl's handkerchief for free, but he still hasn't remembered her name.
"I...I am Qingchuan Ying. Nice to meet you in the future."
The girl blushed and said...
Chapter 242 The First Challenger
"Ok."
Yu Ji responded weakly and slumped onto the table, looking as if he had been beaten up.
"Yuki, are you alright?"
Qingchuan Ying asked with concern.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that I used up too much mental energy last night and didn't sleep well."
Yu Ji gave a perfunctory reply.
He couldn't avoid giving her a perfunctory answer; how could he tell this girl that he had been upset all night?
There's one thing in Duel Links that's incredibly frustrating: the Mind Maze!
In short, it's all about grinding. You need to grind for a month straight, spending an hour every day, to get a decent deck – Six Samurai.
Yuki doesn't like grinding, and he's already played the complete version of this deck, so he didn't plan to grind for it.
But to his surprise, after just one glance, the Mind Maze descended upon him, completely overwhelming him!
With no other option, Yuki could only engage in a series of "867" duels in the mental world, fighting all night before barely managing to clear the game, resulting in him now sporting dark circles under his eyes.
In short, this is a tragedy!
You Ji was afraid that the system and the Mind Maze would overturn the girl's worldview, so he made up a reason about cultivating the soul in order to get away with it.
Just then, another male voice rang out: "As expected of the strongest freshman! Even with such talent, he still perseveres in training and never relaxes for a moment. He's a truly formidable man."
"what?"
Yu Ji was somewhat puzzled.
Are people in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world all this direct? I just said something, and then they started fawning over me?
He looked up, and the first thing that caught his eye was a head of blond hair.
His face, framed by blond hair, was so handsome that many girls around him were secretly glancing at him.
But the blond heartthrob didn't even glance at the girl beside him; he just stared intently at Yuki with bright eyes and an excited expression on his face.
This sent chills down Yuki's spine, and philosophical ideas involuntarily flashed through his mind, such as fencing from above and below...
It must be said that he was somewhat timid at this moment.
Seeing that Yuki remained silent, the blond handsome man suddenly made a surprising move.
Suddenly, he rushed forward, clenched his right hand, and raised it in front of him. His chin was exaggeratedly elongated, and the corners of his mouth turned up into a "V" shape. His originally sharp eyebrows and bright eyes narrowed into slits.
Even the sunny boy Malik had to exclaim upon seeing it: What a perfect facial expression!
"My name is Hiroki Jonouchi, Yuuki. Shall we duel? Let's see who is the strongest freshman!"
"Snapped!"
You Ji slapped him on the forehead, his face filled with despair.
Damn you, Katsuya Jonouchi, what exactly did you pass on to your offspring?
At that moment, Associate Professor Kronos walked into the classroom and heard what Hiroki Jonouchi had said.
Instead of being angry, he nodded happily and praised, "Well done, Chiyo! The reason I publicized Yuki's achievements is to inspire you to never give up and to challenge the strong!"
"As expected! The first challenger has appeared. As expected of a descendant of the legendary duelist Joey Wheeler, known for his perseverance, your teacher is truly proud of you!"
Isn't he famous for his good looks?
Yu Ji picked up his water glass speechlessly, preparing to take a sip to calm his shock.
"I hereby announce the cancellation of the first class. Let's watch the duel between these two students. I hope you can learn something from it!"
Kronos waved his hand and said directly.
"puff……"
Yuki spat out a mouthful of water.
What kind of bizarre school is this? Teachers are actually leading students to skip class to watch people play cards?
A dozen minutes later, Yuki stood helplessly on the playground, facing Hiroki Jounouchi, surrounded by a large circle of classmates who were just watching the show.
"Classmates, I will explain the entire duel process to you. If there is anything you don't understand, you can discuss it later in the classroom."
"Now, please watch carefully as these two people duel!"
"Cronus shouted enthusiastically."
Yu Ji: "..."
enough!
"You seem to be in poor condition. Is your mental strength not yet recovered?"
"How about we fight another day? If you're not in top form, even if I beat you, it won't mean anything."
Seeing his appearance, Hiroki asked with concern.
"Well, the main reason is that I'm mentally exhausted."
Yuuki muttered a complaint under his breath, then said loudly, "I'm fine, come on Jonouchi! Desertion is a disgrace to duelists!"
