Chapter 113 Undercurrents!
Nishibayashi Villa District, Kyoto.
A group of young people gathered on the lawn by the lake.
Some people leaned against their fishing rods, idly drinking tea, while others gathered together to discuss deck building.
While he claims to be searching for the "One Piece" of the dueling world, a competitive atmosphere with hidden sharpness always lingers around him.
Only the sound of the lake water gently lapping against the shore could not suppress the arrogance in the bones of these young geniuses.
"Dude, to be able to get wiped out by You Ming in one-on-three, you must be a Navy spy, right?"
"They're only fit to drink this 99000 yuan per kilogram old Pu'er tea, just to pretend to be something they're not."
"..."
The young man with the buzz cut tossed the Warrior card in his hand, his tone laced with a hint of disdain as he glanced at the girl by the lake.
The most eye-catching person in the crowd was Fujii Shizuko, a girl holding a warrior card deck and surrounded by what seemed to be sword energy.
She had short, shoulder-length hair and sharp, sword-like eyes.
He was standing on a stone platform by the lake, concentrating on practicing drawing cards, his fingertips gliding across the card box with crisp, clean movements.
Each card draw was imbued with precise perception, and even the surrounding wind seemed to be drawn by her aura.
The short-haired young man, Ryoji Asuka, leaned forward and teased with a grin, "Is this what they call 'man and sword as one,' or simply 'sword-man'?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stared intently at by Fujii Shizuko's icy gaze.
The sword-like aura in his eyes seemed to cut people, and Ryoji Asuka swallowed the rest of his sentence, shrinking back and daring not to speak again.
Ye Lingxuan and Hei Ze, huddled in a corner in the distance, had their heads down and their shoulders were trembling uncontrollably.
The two of them were so embarrassed by their laughter that their faces turned red: "Ryoji Asuka, that show-off, has finally met his match!"
Everyone else feared his reputation as one of the Asuka Twins, but only Fujii Shizuko dared to confront him like that; she wasn't afraid at all.
Today is a top gathering of Kyoto's younger generation, and to be able to set foot in this Nishibayashi villa area...
They are all genius duelists trained by various dueling clubs and leagues, and their strength is among the best of their peers.
Although Ye Lingxuan and his companion were studying in Maiwang City, their elders were all based in Tokyo.
After the professional exam, it was only natural to return to Kyoto.
Of course, "going home" is just an excuse.
Most importantly, the two of them just wanted to stay away from that monstrous You Ming.
The thought of You Ming's ability to crush their confidence with a mere wave of his hand sent a shiver down their spines.
For your own safety, it's best to slip away as soon as possible and not get close to him to get yourself into trouble.
"If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!"
Fujii Shizuko glared at Asuka Ryoji, her aura suddenly solidifying.
Several fallen leaves blown by the wind had not even gotten close to her when they seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of swords.
It shattered into dust in an instant, scattering on the ground.
After being stunned by You Ming's Chaos Giant punch during her professional exam, Fujii Shizuko returned to Kyoto to train diligently.
By refining the senses and the synergy between the card deck and the player day and night, the bottleneck has long since been broken.
It can achieve deep communication with Tier 3 Xyz Monsters.
She raised her hand and grasped the card case, thinking to herself, "With my current abilities, I should be able to hold him off for at least five minutes, right?"
Fujii Shizuko recalled the scene of being instantly killed that day, when her communication with the spirit was not deep enough.
The deck's power was never fully realized, which led to a crushing defeat.
If she were to meet him again now, a strong sense of confidence would flash in the girl's eyes.
With my current strength, I can easily unlock the new ace card in my deck, XX-Swordsman.
She was confident that she could stand up to You Ming head-on and no longer be in a situation where she would be instantly defeated.
Ye Lingxuan and Hei Ze, standing some distance away, were listening intently, their eyes fixed on this side.
The cry from the depths of my heart almost burst forth: "Fight! Fight! It would be best if both sides were severely injured, then let's see if you're still so arrogant!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? So what if you were defeated by You Ming once? Why are you so sensitive?"
Ryoji Asuka rubbed his neck with a disdainful look, a smug smirk playing on his lips. "Isn't he just a wild kid from Mai-Wan City?"
If You Ming dares to come to Kyoto, I'll make sure he's dead!
"Just wait till I see, I'll tear his deck to shreds and show him that the geniuses of Kyoto aren't to be trifled with!"
Fujii Shizuko raised an eyebrow, her tone icy: "Are you a professional goalkeeper?"
Ryoji Asuka was taken aback, his face full of confusion: "What do you mean? What does this have to do with you?"
"If you're not just holding onto the 61st place on the Fighting King Ranking, why are you staying there and not moving up?"
Fujii Shizuko tilted her head to look at him, feigning confusion: "Is it that you don't want to strive for advancement, or... do you simply lack the ability?"
These words instantly struck a nerve with Ryoji Asuka, and the veins on his forehead bulged out.
Clenching his fists, he roared, "What the hell is this any of your business? I can guard it if I want, what right do you have to tell me what to do?"
Fujii Shizuko chuckled lightly, her tone casual yet incredibly hurtful: "You're getting impatient."
"Damn it, I'm in a hurry! Don't pull me, everyone stop pulling me!"
Ryoji Asuka instantly exploded, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to rush up and fight Shizuko Fujii.
The forced duel chain on his wrist swayed, its surface faintly gleaming.
Their family's ancestral spirit is the Dragon Master, whose Dragon deck has long been mastered.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding young people immediately swarmed forward.
Some hugged her waist, others her arms, refusing to let go no matter what.
He was inwardly groaning: Ryoji Asuka is now a formidable character who can communicate with Rank 4 Xyz Monsters, and Shizuko Fujii's Warrior deck is by no means weak either.
If these two really make a move, Asuka and Fujii in Kyoto will have to go to war tonight, and none of them can bear that responsibility.
A gentle yet authoritative voice rang out from inside the house, breaking the chaos: "What's all the noise about? What kind of behavior is this?"
A tall, imposing figure strode out, dressed in a sharp professional dueling outfit.
It was Asuka Shin, the eldest son of the Asuka twins.
The moment he appeared, the enraged Ryoji Asuka instantly calmed down.
Although his face was still full of anger, he only glared fiercely at Fujii Shizuko and stubbornly said:
"Don't run away if you dare! Let's have a one-on-one duel later, and I'll show you what I'm made of!"
Fujii Shizuko returned the glance with disdain, her eyes practically overflowing with contempt.
That look seemed to say: Idiot.
After observing for a long time, Ryoji Asuka still managed to interpret the disdainful look as "giving in".
The anger in his heart subsided somewhat, and after a moment's thought, he feigned magnanimity and raised his chin:
"Fine, a good man doesn't argue with a woman, I'll let you off this time."
After saying that, he gave her a "know your place" look and turned away.
Fujii Shizuko stared blankly at Asuka Ryoji's inexplicably arrogant back.
I really can't understand his thought process.
As a famous person surnamed Zhou once said, idiots' thinking never aligns with that of ordinary people.
The armored elf behind Asuka Shin raised his hand and shook the tablet in his arms, waving to everyone in a gentle voice:
"Come and see, everyone. We just received news from Maiwang City."
