Capítulo 40: Chapter 39: The President
[Kuroda, LP0]
What a kill!
The audience was left dumbfounded, completely stunned and unable to react or cheer for a while.
Even though Kuroda had debuffed from President Tan, everyone had already assumed that Kuroda would definitely lose. But this... it's just too unbelievable!?
Kuroda had a strong start, but even such a strong start was shattered by Yuyu's casual move. For duelists whose understanding of the game was limited to "you attack one, I attack one," this was simply outrageous.
Kuroda, who was left with zero health, remained seated on the ground, staring at the young man in front of him in disbelief.
"Too... too strong..." Kuroda muttered to himself, "He's not an opponent I can handle..."
Even Yuyu's spirit, Mana, appeared, clapping her transparent hands with excitement. "Wow! Master, you're amazing!" The girl's eyes sparkled with admiration for her extraordinary master.
Yuyu coughed slightly, maintaining a low profile. It was just a small trick, nothing more.
He didn't think it was such a remarkable feat. After all, in this round, he hadn't used more than six cards from his hand. If his opponent managed to counter this round's offensive or remove the cards from the field, it might become difficult for Yuyu to continue his success.
But of course, this thinking was influenced by his previous life's experience. Yuyu understood that playing cards in this era was much different.
The early card pool was vastly different from later ones. The current deck lacked the strong expansion abilities found in later years and had limited staying power.
Superior summons or fusion summons often resulted in card losses. This was the norm in the Yu-Gi-Oh! era—exchanging two or three cards for a higher-level card with high attack power.
Unlike in later generations, where players had an abundance of cards in their hands and decks filled with high-impact powerful cards, such strategies didn't exist in this era.
There was also another major problem...
Yuyu reluctantly retrieved the "Quick Attack" spell card from his duel plate, a pained expression on his face.
If it weren't for President Seahorse's rule prohibiting attacks on the turn the fusion card was summoned, it would be so much easier..
Yuyu wondered if he could rush into the Haima Company building and request a rule change. However, he quickly dismissed the idea. It was highly unlikely for a game company to readily accept players' opinions or complaints about the planning. Of course.
But if the subject was Seahorse himself, there might be hope.
It was widely known that President Haima was a true card enthusiast. Wanting him to listen to you was quite simple. All you had to do was defeat him in a card game.
Even if he couldn't beat him, he had to leave a lasting impression on him during the duel.
The question now was how to find an opportunity to play cards with the president...
But that could be put on hold for now.
As the loser of the dark game, Mr. Kuroda had to accept the game punishment he had set for himself...
...A striptease on the stage.
Dark game punishments were mandatory, and no one could escape them unless they possessed dark powers far superior to their opponents.
At this moment, the hunky men in the audience began to yell loudly, some flushed with excitement. It was unclear what was so thrilling about watching muscular men dancing.
Mana blushed and exclaimed, "Noooo!" She transformed into light and returned to Yuyu's deck.
Poor girl got traumatized.
Or...such a scene might be a bit too exciting for girls.
Even Yuyu couldn't help but shield his eyes.
...One minute later, the spicy "punishment game" finally came to an end.
Kuroda, drenched in sweat, clutched his clothes and hastily left the stage with an embarrassed expression, accompanied by the rowdy cheers of his colleagues.
"Well, according to the agreement, I still need to defeat two more opponents, right?" Yuyu stood on the ring and smiled. "So, which esteemed dueler will enlighten me next?"
The previously noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.
He glanced around, but they all avoided his gaze, not saying a word.
A few seconds later, a calm and deep voice broke the silence. "I'll step up."
Everyone turned to see President Tan himself, who had already made his way through the crowd and ascended the stage.
The president himself wanted to take part?
This was surprising. Since the establishment of the association, there had never been a case where the chairman dueled a newcomer personally.
Although President Tan seemed somewhat unfortunate with his gambling luck, nobody dared question his playing skills. Whether it was his dark power or his dueling abilities, President was undoubtedly the number one player in the community.
Since the president rarely teamed up with others and mostly accepted high-level commissions individually, even members of the same association rarely had the chance to witness him in action alongside others.
The spectators were now buzzing with excitement.
It seemed there would be a thrilling match to watch today.
Yuyu looked at the short president who entered the stage wearing a duel plate and smiled softly. "Mr. President, you're personally taking part? I'm truly honored."
"It's been a while since I've flexed my muscles. I came here to practice," Tan grinned. "Besides, if I don't come forward, I'm afraid no one in this room can challenge you."
"The president is too kind," Yuyu replied.
As they spoke, the two of them faced each other, deck in hand, and inserted them into their respective duel plates.
They turned around, walked back to their designated positions on the ring, and opened their duel plates.
"Duel!" they declared in unison.
[Yuyu, LP 4000]
[Tan, LP 4000]
"I'll let you have the first move, kid," President Tan crossed his arms.
Yuyu smiled. "Are you sure?"
"Of course." Tan waved his hand, exuding an air of mastery, as if saying, "I'll give you a chance."
Someone in the audience whispered, "Mr. President, are you afraid of getting defeated like Kuroda did..."
Tan's gaze turned cold as he scanned the room. The speaker immediately fell silent, regretting their words.
"Then I'll make the first move. Draw!"
Yuyu glanced at his hand.
Hmm... It's not realistic to expect a perfect hand every time.
But there was no rush to attack.
"Summon 'Elemental Hero Wildheart'!"
[Elemental Hero Wildheart, ATK 1500]
"Set one card face-down and end myturn," Yuyu declared.
"My turn! I'll summon 'Archfiend Cavalry'!"
A demon clad in red armor appeared on the field, riding a dark steed that seemed to come from the underworld. Its skull-like head and scarlet eyes exuded a menacing aura. With a spiral spear in hand, the demon and its horse charged forward with a thunderous roar.
[Archfiend Cavalry, ATK 1900]
"Let's see the suppressive power of the Archfiend deck. I'll take control of this duel!" Tan declared. "Archfiend Cavalry, attack!"
The demon pulled on the reins, and the horse let out a fierce neigh as they charged towards Yuyu's field. The spear was aimed straight ahead, and the rhythmic sound of hooves echoed through the arena.
Yuyu stood his ground and snapped his fingers gracefully.
"Trap Card - Wall of Disprution. When the opponent attacks, it can be activated to reduce the attack power of on the opponent's field by 800 for each monster they control."
A transparent wave emanated from the trap card, hindering the knight's charge. The spiral spear in the demon's hand wavered, and the horse's hoofbeats became erratic.
[Archfiend Cavalry, attack power 1900 → attack power 1100]
"Wildheart!" Yuyu ordered, "Fight back the attack!"
The rugged elemental hero got the order. With precise dynamic vision and superb skills, he sideways avoided the archfiend's stab shot, and slashed back with a backhand.
The blade slid down the spiral gun body, and sparks spattered from metal friction. The light of the knife flashed, and the archfiend's head flew out in a whirl, his body turned into fragments with a "bang".
[Tan, LP4000→LP3600]
"shoot," Th president gritted his teeth, "Then I will facedown a card and the round is over."
