“Achoo.”
You Yang sneezed loudly.
“Who’s talking about me…?”
He wiped his nose and muttered softly, his eyes returning to the duel field.
“Go! 【Red-Eyes Insight Dragon】, attack directly!”
At this moment, Lu Xiao Xue had also completed her assessment.
The final duel score was locked at 4500 to 0.
“Hmm, congratulations, your assessment score is good.”
The assessor put away the Duel Disk, nodding in satisfaction.
Yes!
Lu Xiao Xue’s heart leaped with joy, she quickly turned to You Yang and gave him a scissor hand gesture.
You Yang smiled back.
Li Ze, on the other hand.
Seeing the two of them interacting despite being far apart, his eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.
This… this bastard.
“Hey, how much did I score on the assessment? Read it out loud, you damn fool!”
Li Ze’s face darkened as he turned to the assessor.
“Uh…” The assessor pulled at the corner of his mouth, but still read out, “Li Ze, your assessment score is 5500 to 0!”
As the score refreshed on the big screen.
Li Ze and Lu Xiao Xue’s scores immediately ranked first and second.
“Damn, awesome, Ze-ge!”
“This practical assessment, Ze-ge is definitely going to take first place.”
The little brothers in the audience seats immediately erupted, shouting “666.”
Li Ze’s face was beaming with a smug smile.
However, before he could bask in the glory for even a few seconds, Li Ze saw Lu Xiao Xue returning to her seat next to You Yang, chatting and laughing with him about something.
And she didn’t even seem to glance at his score!
Damn, showing off for nothing.
Li Ze cursed internally.
“That guy, he dares to steal Ze-ge’s woman, he doesn’t want to live anymore!”
“Yeah, yeah, let’s find a secluded spot later and break his legs, see if he dares to compete with our Ze-ge for women.”
A few little brothers quickly comforted Li Ze, diligently handing him a drink.
“Tch, dare to steal my woman… I’ll not only break his legs, I’ll make sure he loses face in Black Dragon City forever!”
Li Ze finished the drink in one gulp and crushed the empty can with a single hand.
He stared at You Yang.
Countless venomous thoughts surged through his mind.
Hmph.
Kid.
You’re dead to me.
As long as you dare to stay in Black Dragon City for a day.
I’ll make you wish you were dead!
…
…
At this moment, You Yang was completely oblivious to the fact that he had inexplicably become someone’s target.
He was still discussing the duel with Lu Xiao Xue.
Although Lu Xiao Xue’s written test score was first, and her practical test score was second, which was already quite impressive.
But You Yang could still sense a few flaws in her performance during the practical assessment.
“You were drawing dead during the duel, weren’t you?” You Yang handed Lu Xiao Xue a bottle of mineral water, asking.
“Eh? How did you know?” Lu Xiao Xue looked at You Yang in surprise.
It was true.
During the assessment, Lu Xiao Xue had several times drawn dead.
If it hadn’t been for 【Red-Eyes Insight Dragon】 holding the field, Lu Xiao Xue’s practical score might have been even lower.
“It’s normal for you to draw dead.”
“Your deck building is too chaotic, and your monster cards, magic cards, and trap cards are out of balance, it’s easy to draw completely unusable junk.”
You Yang said calmly, “And you’re using a 60-card deck, right?”
“Yes, yes!” Lu Xiao Xue quickly took out her deck and handed it to You Yang.
“As expected, there are almost all unnecessary cards in it.”
He looked at the deck, You Yang couldn’t help but frown.
Although Lu Xiao Xue was using a Red-Eyes deck.
But in her deck, there were only ten cards related to Red-Eyes.
It was really lucky that she managed to draw 【Red-Eyes B. Chick】 and 【Red-Eyes Insight Dragon】 at the start.
Of course, this could also be related to the so-called ‘deck bond’ in this world.
“Alright, get rid of these 【Goblin’s Potion】, 【Blue Potion】 and other useless cards in your deck.” You Yang took out all those miscellaneous junk cards from the deck one by one.
“Eh? But, but then won’t the deck have no recovery ability at all!”
Lu Xiao Xue looked puzzled.
She had been taught from a young age that a deck needs to be well-rounded, with attacking monsters, defensive traps, and recovery magic, all essential.
“Where did you learn that wild goose chase of duel education.”
You Yang couldn’t help but ridicule, “Even elementary school students playing RD know that you don’t need those things in Duel Monsters.”
“Eh? RD?” Lu Xiao Xue blinked.
“Cough, nothing… you just need to know that the essence of Duel Monsters is to defeat your opponent or force them to surrender, before your life points reach 0.”
“As long as your life points are not 0, then no matter how much they decrease, as long as it doesn’t affect the card activation, then it doesn’t matter, understand?”
You Yang said earnestly, “Moreover, compared to stuffing your deck with useless cards, it’s more important to simplify the deck as much as possible and make it run smoothly, understand?!”
“I, I understand!” Lu Xiao Xue nodded repeatedly.
However, what You Yang said was completely different from what Lu Xiao Xue had been exposed to in her duel education.
Lu Xiao Xue was still hazy about You Yang’s duel philosophy.
But this at least laid a good foundation for Lu Xiao Xue’s future duels.
After simplifying Lu Xiao Xue’s deck, You Yang handed it back to her.
“Try drawing some cards, see if you still draw dead now.”
You Yang motioned for Lu Xiao Xue to draw some cards.
Lu Xiao Xue immediately nodded, then quickly drew five cards from the top of the deck.
There were two monsters, two magic, and one trap in the five cards.
There was a perfect balance between expansion, support, and back-row setup.
It was a perfect combination!
Moreover, they were all usable cards!
“You’re kidding! You just adjusted the deck a bit, and it actually doesn’t draw dead anymore!”
Lu Xiao Xue looked at You Yang in amazement.
“Nothing, if your deck had some search cards, your hand should have been even smoother.”
You Yang waved his hand.
With Lu Xiao Xue’s deck, this kind of starting hand was already acceptable.
“Thank you, You Yang…” Lu Xiao Xue held the deck in her chest, looking at You Yang with a different kind of light in her eyes.
Since the decline of the Red-Eyes clan.
Lu Xiao Xue had never been treated so well by anyone.
Those who approached her were either attracted to her beauty or after her 【Red-Eyes Black Dragon】.
Only You Yang…
Only You Yang was genuinely good to her!
“You don’t need to thank me, it’s just a small favor… What’s wrong with your face, it looks a bit red, are you sick?”
You Yang reached out and touched Lu Xiao Xue’s forehead.
“Eh? No, no!”
Lu Xiao Xue’s face flushed even redder.
But feeling the warmth of You Yang’s palm.
Lu Xiao Xue’s heart felt sweet.
Oh no…
I…
I seem to have fallen for You Yang!
