Chapter 29: Urban Duel Tournament (Ch 29)

For the next three days, You Ye did not return to the academy. At first, the teachers were a little dissatisfied with his behavior of not attending classes but also running away. However, when they learned that he had obtained the qualification to participate in the Duel City Competition, their attitude changed immediately.

One second it was “Do you want to have your credits deducted?”, and the next second it became “Elites have the privileges of elites”!

College teachers have a flexible bottom line.

However, Youye was not idle during these three days. In addition to familiarizing himself with the deck, Kaiba Keipi had been asking him for advice on duels after finishing his affairs.

Youye Yile, Bailong, you have asked the right person, you are very familiar with this thing.

After looking at Kaiba Keipi’s deck, I helped him remove some useless pieces that probably only Kaiba Seto could handle.

Then he filled the space with three “Ancient White Stones”, which originally only had one in it, and added three “Harmonizing Treasure Cards”.

Let him use it first, and then see the situation and consider whether to help Kaiba Keipi upgrade his deck.

After all, in this world where ties are important, helping him get rid of those cards that seem useless but can be used to deal with various abstract situations at any time is not necessarily a good thing.

To Youye’s surprise, Kaiba Keipi seemed to have special trust in him and had no doubts about the changes to the deck. After listening to a few key points, he immediately ran to find the AI ​​to adapt to the new deck.

The Duel City Tournament was held as scheduled, and Youye followed Kaiba Keihei directly to the competition venue.

The original Haima Square was designed for the convenience of holding competitions. Now, all that needs to be done is to set up audience seats and commentary stands around it, and a huge venue will be ready.

Although there was still more than an hour before the game started, the auditorium was almost full. There were still spectators who had not bought tickets to the auditorium standing outside and watching the game on the big screen.

The audience included all ages, including the elderly, children, duelists, and even a ticket scalper who was dragged by the police and put into a police car.

Sure enough, no matter where scalpers are, there will always be a few of them appearing as long as there are tickets for sale.

Youye got off the car with Kaiba Keihei, and when he looked up, he saw a huge sculpture of a blue-eyes white dragon.

As well as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon elements that can be seen everywhere in the venue decoration, it can be seen that Kaiba Seto’s “dragon cancer” has entered the late stage and has reached the point where it is incurable.

Although Keipi Kaiba is the organizer, he also has to participate in the competition. After giving Youye a list of contestants, he went to the waiting room to prepare.

You Ye followed the signs and slowly found his way to the waiting room specially designated for the Duel Academy.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw a Greedy Pot drinking coffee there.

Looking closely, oh, it’s Professor Chronos.

“Good morning, Professor Chronos.” You Ye greeted politely.

Although Professor Chronos was very annoying in the early stages of the animation, his subsequent actions did show that he was a good teacher, so Youye had a good impression of him.

Professor Chronos had already heard the news that You Ye had obtained the qualification to participate in the competition, and he happened to be here now, so he began to give him instructions.

Just when Youye was becoming numbed by his habit of saying “None~”, Professor Chronos finally finished his instructions.

“Keep going, Noone~”

“I will, Professor Chronos.”

You Ye then cast his gaze upon several senior classmates from the blue class whom he had seen before but did not recognize. He nodded as a greeting, and they responded politely.

Then, his eyes fell on the familiar figure at the end, and You Ye became a little curious.

“You also got the qualification to participate?”

Kiritsuki Saori nodded slightly: “Well, I successfully advanced to the fifth stage duelist before the registration ended.”

“Although Kiritsuki Saori’s ability has surpassed many senior students, Nona~, you must be careful during the competition~”

“Yes.” Kiritsuki Saori nodded in agreement, looking like a real lady from a noble family.

Like the kind that will cry for a long time after getting punched.

Time passed in preparation. You Ye took a look at his first-round opponent, a fifth-level duelist who had just reached the registration threshold.

If it were before, You Ye might still feel a little pressure, but now his deck has evolved.

According to the characteristic of the new deck that it produces effects in the graveyard, Youye gave this deck a very appropriate name – Graveyard Effect.

Who says that trap card tomb effects are not tomb effects?

Saori Kiritsuki’s luck in the first round was neither bad nor good, as she met a foreign duelist who had been promoted to the sixth dan many years ago.

Due to the large number of contestants, the first few rounds were in a state of chaos, with dozens of duels taking place in the venue at the same time, and the broadcast screen switching back and forth in search of exciting games.

After a day, Youye, Kiritsuki Saori, Keipi Kaiba and another senior from the blue class successfully entered the top 32.

The next morning, You Ye and his companions returned to the waiting room under the leadership of Professor Chronos.

From now on, there will no longer be multiple duels taking place at the same time. Each of the 32 to 16 matches will be played individually, and people will be standing in the commentary booth early.

The red suit, white shirt, and his extremely unconventional hairstyle that looked like a baguette growing out of his forehead made You Ye recognize him at the first sight.

Isn’t this the match commentator in 5ds?

Although I don’t know his name, his professionalism is definitely worthy of admiration.

I remember that in the final battle of 5ds, in order to allow the citizens who stayed to watch the battle and wait for the judgment of their fate to escape from the battlefield wholeheartedly, this guy resolutely chose to go to the Kaiba Building alone to explain the duel, so that the citizens who were attracted by the duel scene could lower their heads and hurry on.

As the duel was about to begin, Youye was the first to go on stage, and Kiritsuki Saori walked over.

“You Ye, who is your opponent this round?”

“Hmm… let me see.”

You Ye glanced at the battle list and found that his opponent in this round looked quite familiar. Then he remembered that he had seen him while watching the game after winning the duel yesterday.

If I remember correctly, he was a civil engineer.

It seems that we need to be careful in this round, because there are no weaklings who can make it to the top 32.

After glancing at the time and checking his deck, You Ye left the waiting room and walked towards the center of the venue.

At the same time, the commentator’s voice rang out in the stadium, still with the familiar opening remarks.

“Everybody listen! Next is the most exciting part of the Duel City Tournament, the 32 to 16 match!”

“Then let us welcome the elites from the Duel Academy Obelisklan—”

“Fourth-stage duelist, You Ye!”

Although the commentator already knew in advance that You Ye was an invited fourth-rank duelist, he couldn’t help but feel strange when he read out his rank at this moment.

“Will this elite’s journey come to an end today? Let us welcome his opponent, who stood out with his strong strength and made it to the top 32 – Sakamoto Furuki!”

Yuya/Sakamoto Yugi: “Duel!”
