I've Transmigrated! It's a Card Player's World!

"Class, did you do yesterday's homework? I'll be doing spot checks today."

"If you don't pass, you'll have to stay behind and clean the Duel Club."

A pleasant voice rang out.

You Chen woke up from his daze.

He rubbed his eyes, saw the familiar classroom, and heard the words just spoken.

How did he fall asleep?

Teacher Fang Qing's classes were certainly hypnotic enough.

He really couldn't be blamed.

He was definitely going to be stuck cleaning now.

Yesterday, he had stayed up late ranking up in Master Duel, and the homework had long since slipped his mind.

But then again, what the heck was the Duel Club?

"First question: For monsters that are ten stars or twelve stars and above, how many tributes are required for a Tribute Summon?"

"You Chen, why don't you answer this question?"

You Chen heard this and was filled with question marks, his face scrunching up like an old man on the subway.

"?????"

What the heck?

Why was Teacher Fang Qing discussing Yu-Gi-Oh! with him? Was she also a hidden Card Player?

But wasn't it inappropriate to openly discuss this in class?

Wait a minute…

The homework she mentioned earlier, could it be this?

No way, did he transmigrate?

You Chen looked down at his textbook.

Well, well, well.

Master Rule, Special Summoning Methods: Processing and Application, Spirit Postpartum Care, Duel Detail Training and Obscure Knowledge, Duel Philosophy and Morality.

You Chen finally understood.

This was a world almost identical to the one he had come from.

He even recognized the people here.

The only difference was that this was a world where dueling reigned supreme.

Playing cards? Now he wasn't sleepy anymore.

"Um, except for specific monsters that require a designated number of tributes, other monsters ten stars or higher that can be Tribute Summoned only require two tributes."

You Chen blinked. Surely no one would think it required three tributes for this question, right?

This question was actually quite simple, so Fang Qing wasn't surprised.

"Alright, then let's try a harder one."

"Can a card like Infernity Conjurer, which banishes itself from the field, return to the field after being banished by Tearlaments Kitkallos?"

Fang Qing's question immediately stunned many students. This was clearly more difficult; the teacher hadn't taught these details yet!

Mu Qingyu, the class monitor, frowned upon hearing it.

Was it a bit beyond the scope of their current studies?

It seemed that Teacher Fang Qing was determined to teach You Chen, who had been sleeping in class, a lesson.

Mu Qingyu wasn't actually sure about this question either.

After all, it already involved the outlines of Synchro and Link Summons, which hadn't reached their learning stage yet.

Therefore, Mu Qingyu naturally assumed that You Chen wouldn't know either.

"Teacher, isn't that a bit beyond the scope? I feel like you're singling me out, Pang Hu." You Chen said.

"I'm very happy to hear you say it's beyond the scope."

"If you can't answer, then don't sleep in class anymore. Consider it a lesson for you."

Fang Qing revealed a smug smile.

"Then Teacher is celebrating too early."

"Although it's beyond the scope, I do know a little. The answer is no."

You Chen spread his hands and said.

"Are you sure?" Fang Qing was very surprised to hear You Chen give that answer, but she just assumed he was guessing, so she immediately probed him.

"I'm sure!" You Chen.

"Why?" Fang Qing asked.

"It's actually because Infernity Conjurer has a self-restriction that banishes it from the field when it leaves. So, as soon as it leaves the field, it's banished. Tearlaments Kitkallos made it leave the field first, so its self-restriction of banishing takes effect, not Tearlaments Kitkallos banishing it. That's why it can't come back." You Chen was pretty sure Teacher Fang Qing was messing with him.

But he still explained everything in detail.

Teacher Fang Qing paused, surprised that You Chen actually understood.

And he explained it very clearly.

It was even easier to understand than her own explanation.

You Chen couldn't just play defense, so he went on the offensive.

"How about this, Teacher, don't ask any more questions. I'll ask you a piece of obscure knowledge. If you can answer it, I'll accept my punishment."

This scene became even more interesting, and the students present couldn't help but cheer, egging them on!

A student daring to ask the teacher a question? Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

Why was a teacher a teacher?

Naturally, because they were knowledgeable.

Fang Qing also laughed in annoyance.

"Fine! You're asking for it."

"Ask away."

She was already ecstatic inside.

She had never seen anyone actively seek their own demise.

Well, she couldn't be blamed then.

Was there any question a teacher didn't know? Impossible!

She had graduated with dual Master's degrees in Duel knowledge.

"Then I'll ask you, Teacher, if a card doesn't explicitly state 'once per turn for this card's name,' does that mean there's no once-per-turn restriction for that card's name?"

As soon as You Chen asked this question, everyone present was stunned.

"Huh? After all that, he asks such a question?"

"Isn't that just a freebie?"

"You Chen, you're going to make us laugh ourselves to death."

"Haha, Chenzi sure knows how to have fun."

"Ugh! I waited so long for nothing. How could anyone get this wrong? It's obviously a given, right?"

The entire room burst into laughter.

Seeing their ignorance, You Chen felt much more at ease, having been afraid they might actually think about it.

This showed that this question indeed easily tripped up many people.

He just wondered if Teacher Fang Qing would fall for it.

Fang Qing initially thought it wouldn't be that simple, so she pondered for a long time.

But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't come up with any exceptions.

Then she said, "Of course!"

You Chen then curled his lips into a smile and said, "Congratulations, Teacher, you got it wrong."

"What? Are you saying there are cards that don't explicitly state 'once per turn for this card's name,' but still have that once-per-turn restriction effect?"

"If you can't give an explanation for this, then you lose."

Fang Qing stared at You Chen, refusing to believe it.

╰_╯!

You Chen quickly eased the tension, saying, "Teacher, don't get angry like Pang Hu; it's bad for Pang Hu."

"Of course there are."

"For example, Necroface's first effect doesn't explicitly state 'once per turn for this card's name,' but according to the text, both parts of the first effect still have a once-per-turn restriction for its card name."

"So, like I said, Teacher, you celebrated too early."

"Actually, next time, I suggest you cry first to lower expectations, and then amaze everyone—suppress first, then elevate! How's that for advice?"

You Chen was in a very good mood. Having arrived in a world where dueling reigned supreme, he was surely destined for great things.

He couldn't wait to fast-forward to a scene where he faced ten Japanese adult film actresses alone.

And declare, "I'm going to fight ten of you!"

"What's the use of playing such petty tricks? If you're so capable, use them to get into the top ten in this monthly exam! Only talking back will never amount to anything great. Class dismissed!!"

Just then, the dismissal bell rang.

Seeing that she couldn't punish You Chen, Fang Qing turned and left in a huff.

Meanwhile, the students who had been laughing so loudly earlier all had flushed faces, embarrassed by being proven wrong. Hadn't they just said that anyone who answered incorrectly was a dog?

Clearly, they hadn't expected the tables to turn so quickly.

You Chen cleared his throat. It seemed he had offended Teacher Fang Qing, but he really had good intentions.

First, as someone from an external site, I don't understand the audience here, but after looking around, most stories involve transmigrating into the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. Writing that way makes it easier to connect with the original characters, providing a natural framework and making it simpler to write.

However, I also think it limits the variety of cards that can be used, and I imagine everyone has read many such stories.

After much thought, I decided to write a story with an original world setting. However, characters from the anime will appear in the mid-game, as mentioned in later chapters—this is a foreshadowing of dimensional rifts.

This way, there's no familiar anime plot, but original characters still appear. Those who have watched A5 probably know what dimensional invasion is.

[Here's the important part: This book will feature original characters, spirits, Soul Duels, and Face Art—these are all essential elements of Yu-Gi-Oh! If you enjoy it, please show your support!]
