Tearlaments Runick: Stun Runick

Chapter 12: Tearlaments Runick: × Stun Runick: √

"I didn't, I don't, don't talk nonsense!"

Sheng Ning immediately took three steps back, denying everything.

She had already found dueling against Munin quite agonizing, and what was the result? That was what Youye called the "above-board usage." The "underhanded usage," just by the name, sounded even more torturous. She definitely didn't want to try it.

"Alright." Youye seemed a little regretful, then turned his gaze to Munin, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Munin had lost so convincingly, so the cards themselves were definitely fine. He just didn't know if the Archetype could be obtained. If it could, wouldn't a Fusion of Tearlaments and Runick be usable?

Munin noticed Youye's gaze and naturally understood what he meant. When Youye summoned Unicorn, she had actually already decided to give him the Archetype. However, Youye's performance was so outstanding that she had other ideas. So, she looked at Youye very seriously and said:

"Youye, if possible... I want you to always use our Runick Archetype in the future, at least the Core should be Runick. I have a feeling that if it's you, you can take the Runick Archetype to an unimaginable level!"

"In return, I will return to the Spirit World and communicate with Hugin, asking her to give you the other half of the Runick Archetype cards. In as little as half a year, or as long as a year, you will be able to fully use all the cards of our Runick Archetype."

"If I refuse, will you still give me the Archetype?"

Upon hearing this, Youye frowned slightly.

Runick was strong, but compared to his own Archetype, Tearlaments, it was leagues behind. If he gave up Tearlaments to get Runick, it would clearly be like dropping the watermelon to pick up the sesame seed.

But missing out on it would also be a shame. He had been in this world for ten years and didn't even have a single Deck, although that was because he only wanted to play meta and didn't want to build Normal Monster Decks. But the fact remained that he didn't have a Deck. If he could get the Runick Archetype, he naturally had to try.

Munin sighed inwardly upon hearing Youye's question. She understood that by asking this, Youye had chosen his own Archetype and rejected Runick. So, she slowly explained:

"Yes, but it will be missing cards. For example, there will only be one copy of the core Field Spell, only one or two copies of the effective Quick-Play Spells, and at most two copies of the Archetype Monsters. This will greatly reduce the strength of our Runick Archetype."

"So that's how it is... Then that's fine. With Fountain and Hugin, having a few copies of the others is enough. I don't have too many requirements for these."

After hearing Munin's words, Youye breathed a sigh of relief.

From her words, he gathered that the Runick she was giving him was basically the same as the Forbidden/Limited Status Runick in Master Duel before he transmigrated. Although there was only one copy of the core Fountain, it was completely sufficient for him at the moment. One reason was that the opponents he encountered now weren't strong. The second was that while Tearlaments Runick might be Deformed, it wasn't completely without merit.

"Youye, what you said is a bit hurtful. My Runick Archetype isn't weak. In Master Duel, I could reach Grandmaster Rank with a half-crippled Runick. Some of your human Heaven-tier duelists aren't my opponents."

Seeing Youye say this, Munin puffed up her cheeks and made an angry face to remind him.

"Okay, okay, I know." Youye nodded with a smile, like he was coaxing a child.

"I'm not a child!" Munin clenched her fists, reminding him. It was as if she was saying if Youye treated her like a child, she would physically teach him a lesson.

"Hmm, you're definitely not a child!"

Youye glanced over Munin's curvaceous figure and nodded in agreement. That size was indeed not something a child would have.

"Hold out your hand, palm up, and I'll give you the Archetype!"

Munin stomped her foot in anger after being looked at like that. The reason she was angry wasn't the comment, but because Youye's gaze was genuinely appreciative, nothing else.

She was a Beautiful Spirit, the Face and Figure Representative of the Runick Archetype. Not to mention humans, even in the Spirit World, she had many suitors. This was the first time she had seen a male like Youye.

"Okay."

Youye didn't continue to tease Munin. He nodded slightly, palm up, and extended his hand towards her.

Seeing this, Munin also regained her composure. She gently placed her two hands on Youye's hand. Her dark Two Wings behind her spread open, and the Field Runick Fountain and the phantoms of various Runick Spirits appeared. They surrounded Youye in the center, and a faint blue light that had appeared at some point began to flicker slightly around them.

"May the great Dueling Rules bear witness, in the name of me, Wings of Runick - Munin, from this day forward, the Runick Archetype shall be shared with the human Youye. As long as he does not abandon it, the Runick Archetype will become his Right-hand Man, helping him defeat all enemies!"

The moment Munin's words fell, Youye felt a cool sensation in his hand, like a drop of WATER had landed on it. When he looked at the hand he had extended to Munin, a stack of cards had appeared in his hand. At the same time, he felt a certain connection with the Munin before him.

So, he happily began to check which cards Runick had given him.

Fountain, Flashing Fire, Destruction were all one copy. Then Freezing Curses, Smashing Light, Slumber, and Storm were two copies. Everything else was three copies. For the Extra Deck, Hugin was one, and Munin, Hugin (dog), Geri (lion), and Munin (horse) were all two copies.

Overall, although it was easily interrupted, it was barely usable.

"Congratulations, Senior, on obtaining the Runick Archetype. If Senior needs cards or anything else I can help with, you can find me. The Bureau Chief has given me full authorization to assist Senior."

Seeing the smile on Youye's face, Sheng Ning spoke up to congratulate him.

"Oh? Your Inspector Bureau's cards can also be given out?"

Youye was full of surprise upon hearing this. In this world, various family forces guarded their Card Pools tightly. The Inspector Bureau before him was going to give him cards?

"Ahem, of course, it's not free. Our Inspector Bureau's cards are available to Senior at a 30% discount; if you help our Inspector Bureau modify the Ancient Gear Deck Build, it's a 50% discount; if you join, we'll give them directly to Senior!"

Sheng Ning coughed awkwardly a couple of times and immediately conveyed the message Wang Cheng had given her earlier. At the same time, she opened her tablet and handed the card list to Youye to look at.

"Alright, let me see the card list. We can talk about the rest if there are cards I want."

With this explanation, Youye instantly understood and took the tablet. He knew that the Inspector Bureau was offering these conditions to win him over. Leaving aside whether he would join or not, the 30% and 50% discounts were quite good and could save him a lot of money.

An hour later...

"Hiss~ Messenger of Peace? There Can Be Only One? Solemn Judgment? Spore of Growth? Foolish Burial Goods? Upstart Goblin?"

He didn't know until he looked, and when he did, he was shocked. Although most of the card list consisted of Normal Monsters and basically useless废卡 (waste cards), upon seeing these few cards, Youye couldn't help but let out a long hiss. His Tearlaments finally had a few more cards, and also, another Deck Build took shape in his mind.

It wasn't that he wanted to play Stun Runick; the main reason was that he really didn't have any other cards, so he was forced to play Stun Runick. He believed that the people in this world who dueled him would understand him, and he would definitely bring Laughter to the people of this world.
