People often say that school is actually a small microcosm of society, and there is some truth to this statement.

Although the satellite area and Shindo Shinobi have been merged, in fact the gap between the rich and the poor in the entire Shindo Shinobi is still huge. Especially in this school full of children of aristocrats, Long Ke and Long Ya, who came from the slums, were naturally excluded to a considerable extent.

After all, this is a world where dueling is respected. Although their written entrance exam scores were average, Long Ya and Long Ke's dueling skills were at the top among students of the same grade.

Especially after receiving special training from Li Youfeng, Long Ya was able to defeat three opponents at the practical class and win the game.

God knows how cool Long Ya was when he defeated three rich kids who looked down on him in one breath and shouted to the sky, "Go on, I'm going to beat ten more!"

However, in fact, Long Ya did manage to beat ten alone!

From that day on, these rich kids never dared to bring up Long Ya and Long Ke’s background again. Especially when they heard Long Ya admit that his sister was even more terrifying, the brother and sister were completely isolated by other classmates.

Left Long Ke, Right Long Ya

As for the reason, it’s actually very simple!

Long Yatai is so arrogant and always looks like he deserves a beating among his peers!

Long Ke is too quiet. Although he is more polite than Long Ya, he always gives people a feeling of being difficult to approach!

"Well, I accept your apology, but it won't happen again!" Long Ya nodded seriously and said, now I have already trained my skin to be so thick that it is immune to water and fire!

"Uh~!?" Long Ya's response far exceeded Luciano's expectations. In addition, the former spoke very loudly, which actually confirmed his extremely impolite action.

But actually?

I was just being polite to you!

You really have no self-awareness, do you?

He never expected that there would be such a shameless person in the world. Luciano said that this naughty kid Long Ya really made him lose his temper.

Secretly planning to teach Long Ya a lesson he would never forget, Luciano forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

The Duel Academy is a school that specializes in training duelists. Therefore, after the cultural class, all the students followed the teacher to the practical class classroom after checking their duel disks.

Except for Long Ya and Long Ke, whose dueling skills were so strong that no one was willing to take them as opponents, the rest of the students also began to practice fighting in pairs under the teacher's arrangement.

As for Long Ya and Long Ke, who had nothing to do, they sat in their seats in the practical classroom, one started playing video toys while the other started knitting her own scarf.

"Long Ke!" Luciano walked in front of Long Ke with a confident smile on his face, which reminded people of a cunning fox.

"I heard that you are the strongest duelist in this class, and the fourth place winner of the Fortune Cup Duel Tournament."

Luciano's words revealed his recognition of Long Ke's strength, but at the same time, there was also a hint of provocation. He paused, observing Long Ke's reaction, and then continued: "So, can you have a sparring match with me?"

Long Ke frowned slightly. She did not show much surprise at Luciano's challenge. After all, it was normal to be challenged in a practical class.

However, when he heard the words "fourth place in the Lucky Cup Duel Competition", Long Ke's face instantly turned gloomy.

Because of Long Ya's behavior of betraying his sister, that duel became a stain on Long Ke's life, and this so-called fourth place was no longer an honor to her, but a provocation.

Luciano was somewhat surprised by Long Ke's silence. He originally thought that Long Ke would accept his challenge without hesitation. However, just as he was about to speak again, he noticed that Long Ke's face became increasingly ugly, and an invisible pressure began to spread between the two.

At the same time, Long Ya, who was sitting next to him, naturally knew why Long Ke was angry. He keenly noticed Long Ke's expression that obviously wanted to kill someone, and cold sweat instantly broke out on Long Ya's forehead.

Thinking something was wrong, Long Ya quickly jumped up from his seat and rushed in front of Long Ke like a flash of lightning, blocking Luciano's sight.

Long Ya's movements were a little hasty, even a little awkward, but his purpose was very clear!

That is, in order to save his own life, he must turn the page on this topic as soon as possible!

"Hey, you want to spar, right? No need for my sister to help, I will be your opponent!"

"You? Yeah, that's fine!"

Because of Long Ya's previous provocative behaviors, Luciano also had no good feelings towards the former. Therefore, after seeing Long Ya eager to come forward to be taught a lesson by him, Luciano agreed without any hesitation.

"Hey! Look everyone, Luciano is going to duel with that cocky Longya!"

"Luciano is the champion of the Junior Duel Tournament. Now the little bully is in trouble!"

"Humph, what little bully? He's just the king of our age. I don't think Long Ya is a match for Luciano!"

Because of his arrogant behavior of fighting ten people alone, Long Ya was nicknamed "Little Bully". So, when the students saw Luciano challenge Long Ya right away, they were like chicken blood, and they shouted excitedly in an instant.

Click!

They walked to the duel practice field in the classroom together, and Long Ya and Luciano stood separately while opening their respective duel disks.

Without much talk, Long Ya and Luciano, who had been displeased with each other for a long time, sneered at each other and then inserted their own decks into the duel disk.

"Duel!" X2

Longya LP4000

Luciano LP4000

"Long Ya, I'll let you go first!" Luciano said generously without rushing to start his turn.

"Oh? I didn't realize you were so confident. If that's the case, then I won't be polite to you! It's my turn, draw a card!"

Cursing "idiot" in his heart, Long Ya reached for his deck without any hesitation.

Under Li Youfeng's guidance, Long Ya had already understood the truth of the duel world!

That is, as long as you can kill the opponent safely, the means don't matter at all!

After all, what is face?

Is victory important?!

As for the glory of being a duelist?

Idiot, there is no glory for losers!

Because the game Duel Monsters is always just a one-person game!

Over half a year, Long Ya learned the essence of shamelessness from Li Youfeng. For Long Ya, Li Youfeng's various "qualities" are undoubtedly what he wants to study and imitate.

After taking a look at his hand, Long Ya gave a wicked smile, then raised his hand and covered the duel disk with all the cards in his hand.

"I Normal Summon this monster in face-down Defense Position, and then, cover five cards on my backfield!"

"Okay, my turn is over, please give me some advice!"

"Wow!"

No one had expected that Long Ya would actually go all in on all the cards in one round. Such a scene undoubtedly caused exclamations from all the students in the audience.

"What is Long Ya trying to do? Who would go all in in one round?"

"No, wasn't there someone who did that in the Fortune Cup Duel Tournament before?"

"Yeah, now that you mention it I remember, that uncle's name was You Feng? He seemed to be the owner of a game store!"

"It's the Lavender Game Store. I go there every weekend to play. The game equipment inside is very complete. In addition to Duel Monsters, there are many other interesting games!"

"I know. Isn't the game store you mentioned the home of Long Ya and Long Ke? No wonder their dueling skills are so amazing. It turns out their family runs a game store!"

Long Ya's opening move not only caused all the students present to talk a lot, but even Luciano was slightly stunned.

"Hmph, just trying to attract attention!" Sneering secretly in his heart, Luciano raised his hand and touched his own deck. Because he didn't intend to reveal his true identity yet, the deck he was using was naturally not the Machine Emperor deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"At this moment, the trap card is activated and the power is balanced!" (Original anime!)

Opening a card that Li Youfeng had used to punish him, Long Yayin said with a smile, "This card can only be activated when you have 0 cards in your hand. Its effect is that the opponent player chooses to discard half of his hand, and you can draw the same number of cards from your deck as the opponent discarded."

"You have six cards in your hand now. You must discard three of them, and then I can replenish the same number of cards!"

Luciano: “!!!”

Students: “!!!”

Long Ke: "Ha~! Long Ya, this idiot, really stole Uncle You Feng's duel skills."

Unlike Long Ke who was mentally prepared, the other students and teachers present looked like they were struck by lightning, with extremely confused expressions on their faces.

"Hehe, I'm so sorry!" Long Ya raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a sly smile. He raised his hand slowly and drew three cards from his deck.

"Because you have six cards in your hand, according to the rules, you need to discard three cards, and I can replenish three cards!"

However, what Long Ya didn't expect was that Luciano didn't show any resistance to the request to discard the cards in his hand. He threw the three cards in his hand into the graveyard without hesitation, and then shouted loudly: "Activate the magic card compensation treasure card in the graveyard!"

"When this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can draw two cards from my deck!"

"Oh? That's pretty impressive! I seem to have underestimated you!" The cards discarded by the trap card power balance effect are not discarded randomly. Unexpectedly, Luciano, his card, actually cleverly utilized the effect of his card. Long Ya also nodded slightly.

“No, no, this is actually nothing!” Luciano said with a cold look in his eyes, “Because there are even more powerful things to come!”

Luciano placed a card on the duel disk and said, "I Special Summon Ancient Mechanical Gear Statue, in Attack Position!" (Attack 500 Defense 800)

Summoning a Machine-Type monster to his field, Luciano then said, "If the opponent player has more monsters on their field than you do, you can Special Summon this monster from your hand!"

"Also, by releasing this monster, I can Special Summon an Ancient Mechanical Gear Giant or a monster with this card's name from my hand or deck, ignoring the summoning conditions!"

"Now, obey my call and appear here!"

"Ancient Mechanical Gear Giant, Attack Mode Summon!" (Attack Power 3000 Defense Power 3000)

Boom!

Under the effect of the card, a gigantic robot monster rose from the ground, with huge arms and a strong body. This robot monster, which had enough attack power to compete with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, instantly made all the teachers and students in the audience scream!

"That's amazing! Is this the final reward for the champion of the Junior Duel Tournament?"

"It's actually an Ancient Mechanical deck. I heard that only the most outstanding teachers in the Duel Academy can own this deck!"

"Damn it! If I had known that the prize for the champion of the Junior Duel Tournament was this deck, I would have signed up for the tournament!"

"Just your dueling skills? Forget it. You'll just be cannon fodder even if you participate in the competition!"

"Oh? This monster is pretty good!" Long Ke was slightly interested in the ancient mechanical gear giant because of its appearance. He shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, if it is only this level, it cannot break through Long Ya's defense."

"Come and feel what true power is!"

Pointing at Longya, Luciano grinned and said, "When the Ancient Mechanical Gear Giant attacks a monster in Defense Position, it can deal combat damage to the opponent according to the value of the attack power exceeding the monster's defense power!"

"Also, when this monster attacks, your opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step."

"Do you understand now? Long Ya, your backcourt cover card can't protect you at all. Now, take this punch!"

"Ancient Mechanical Gear Giant, attack the covered monster!"

Ding!

After receiving Luciano's order, the ancient mechanical gear giant raised its huge arm.

Aiming at Longya's front court, the monster punched the Gaika covering the field.

"Humph~ idiot!"

Rather than panicking as Luciano had guessed, Long Ya shook his head slightly in disdain.

"The special effect of the spherical time bomb is activated!"

Flipped over by the Ancient Mechanical Gear Giant's attack, Long Ya also said loudly at this time: "Activate before the damage calculation of this card in face-down Defense Position being attacked by the opponent's monster, and use this card as an Equip Card to equip the attacking monster."

"Now, accept my gift to you!"
