But in reality, even without a bad hand, it would be difficult for Axe Raider's deck to beat Lei Hu's. Axe Raider's strength lies in its high floor, consistency, ability to summon with just one card, and low resource cost. Its ceiling, however, naturally falls short of Lei Hu's.
This is also why, for a period, Axe Raider decks with Mirror Wall were popular in DL!
At the time, there was even an untold legendary tale circulating.
Something like, "With three Mirror Walls, my dog could get me to King rank overnight."
Axe Raider decks are all about ensuring you don't get a bad hand and hoping your opponent does.
But what happens when you get a bad hand and your opponent doesn't? The outcome is predictable, right?
Naturally, Zhang Cuihua lost.
And it was a crushing defeat.
Teacher Fang Qing couldn't even bear to watch.
She covered her eyes and shook her head.
These roster selections weren't impulsive decisions, of course.
They were the final rosters determined after previous test examinations.
But isn't that just how Yu-Gi-Oh! is?
You never know when you're going to draw a bad hand.
After all, this isn't some anime where everyone draws perfectly.
You Chen yawned.
Well, that's great. He tried to show off and failed, and Hua Ningning's impression of Zhang Cuihua became even worse.
Ah, no, it's more accurate to say she never paid attention in the first place.
He looked over and saw that Hua Ningning wasn't even watching the duel.
It seemed not worth her attention.
There was another duel, Xu Fei versus Chen Jianming.
Their strengths were quite similar.
Not much difference, and Chen Jianming ultimately won.
It was a victory decided by the smallest margin.
The students from Class Five cheered again.
"See! No surprises, only Mu Qingyu scored a point again this time. The others just aren't good enough."
"This proves that Class Five is stronger, it's a fact."
"Sorry, we won again!"
Teacher Fu from Class Five was a very thin man.
Though he said "sorry" at his mouth, his face was filled with smugness.
What could Teacher Fang Qing say?
When you lose, even drinking water is wrong.
So, at this moment, nothing she said would make a difference.
You Chen wasn't surprised by the result. He got up and said, "Is it over? Then I'm heading back."
It was a real waste of time to be here.
He might as well spend this time chatting with his group friends and see if he could get any useful information.
These group friends were, of course, his spirit beast group friends.
It wasn't over yet; many people were still cheering.
Usually, no one would dare to get up and leave.
It would seem disrespectful to others and also give the impression of being a sore loser.
So You Chen standing up seemed out of place.
And Teacher Fu from Class Five naturally noticed.
He narrowed his eyes, watching You Chen.
"Student, I know it's hard for you to accept that Class Six lost, but you should learn to respect others. You're getting up and leaving before it's even over?"
Teacher Fu's words subtly shifted the focus onto You Chen.
What a masterful way to concentrate fire.
You Chen, however, wasn't flustered. He said, "It's not because Class Six lost. It's already over, isn't it? Why can't I leave? Is the teacher going to treat us to a meal?"
"That wouldn't be bad at all."
This sentence cleverly diffused the previous accusation.
Teacher Fu chuckled.
"A consolation prize dinner? Haha."
That single line made the students of Class Five even more lively.
You Chen was already used to it. He knew exactly what kind of person Teacher Fu was from his previous life—unruly and arrogant!
"Teacher Fu, you rock!"
"Well said!"
"Heh, that's more like it."
In contrast, the students of Class Six looked furious, glaring intently at the students of Class Five.
But they were helpless.
There was nothing they could do. In the dueling world, losing meant you had no say.
"Anyone who didn't know better would almost think your class won the world championship."
"My apologies, I'm not trying to mock you, but your triumphant expressions made me a little disoriented."
You Chen scratched his head, saying this with an apologetic tone.
However, this statement actually made the smiles on Class Five's students freeze, and they looked a bit displeased.
After all, he said he wasn't mocking them, but everyone could tell he was.
Emotion Value +1880!
This was a large wave of displeasure Emotion Value from Class Five students.
This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for You Chen.
"Unconvinced?! Looks like you're sore losers."
"Alright, alright, what's your name? How about this, you can pick any of those three students from before."
"If you win, what about treating your Class Six to dinner?"
Teacher Fu was naturally also displeased and said with a cold laugh.
"Wouldn't that be bad?" You Chen hesitated slightly.
It wasn't that he was afraid; mainly, there seemed to be no benefit, so the duel would be pointless.
At this moment, Fang Qing stepped forward.
You Chen felt a touch of gratitude. Teacher Fang Qing was reliable at critical moments.
"Go for it, You Chen!"
"While you probably won't win, don't be afraid to lose. At least try your best to show us more strategies, so our chances in the later dueling training will be greater."
Fang Qing's words.
Were undoubtedly more annoying than Teacher Fu's.
You Chen couldn't help but want to run over to Class Five.
Listen, is that a human thing to say?
However, on second thought, he had earned so much Emotion Value from just one sentence earlier.
If he could duel now, he would undoubtedly gain even more Emotion Value.
So You Chen thought it through and agreed.
The main reason was that Emotion Value was simply too tempting.
You Chen didn't care about anything else.
"Alright."
"Who is the strongest in your Class Five?"
You Chen mainly thought that by fighting the strongest, the contrast would be greater, and he could naturally gain more Emotion Value.
Little did he know that this sentence made everyone present freeze.
Whether it was the students of Class Five or Class Six, they were all utterly bewildered.
Could it be that they had misheard?
When they came back to their senses, the students of Class Five couldn't help but burst out laughing.
You Chen also laughed out loud.
Because there was really a lot of Emotion Value.
In that instant, another
1550 Emotion Value
was gained.
It seemed that being a troll could also make one take off.
However, was the average proportion of group Emotion Value a bit low?
A class of over forty people, how was there only a little over a thousand Emotion Value?
And Class Six only had a little over eight hundred Emotion Value.
No wonder Class Six isn't as good as Class Five.
So little emotional feedback.
And Mu Qingyu herself hadn't even paid attention to this farce.
But from the moment You Chen accepted the duel, she also furrowed her brows, looking suspicious.
Because she truly couldn't understand his reason for accepting the duel.
You Chen's dueling strength was in the lower-middle tier within their class.
This action was undoubtedly no different from a suicide mission.
And You Chen didn't seem like such an irrational person.
"Alright, alright! Classmate, no matter the situation, at least you're a real man!"
"Chen Jianming! Go!"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Fu actually started to admire You Chen's courage.
Chen Jianming stood up, a smirk playing on his lips, and reached up to smooth his heavily gelled, slicked-back hair.
He grinned smugly and said, "Sister Hua! Looks like I'm the lucky one. How many seconds do you think this toy across from me can last?"
Hua Ningning didn't respond. In her eyes, You Chen wasn't particularly outstanding. If anything, he only had a somewhat handsome face worth looking at.
And his actions were undoubtedly no different from those overly confident men who couldn't properly assess their own dueling strength.
So, he wasn't worth paying attention to.
I wonder how many people who read webnovels also play MD. Ranking up in MD is truly a mind game. As long as you're on a winning streak, you'll always go second in every match. If you don't drop in rank, going second ten times in a row is commonplace. Once you do drop, they give you first turn again. Often, it's most infuriating when you finally get first turn after ten consecutive second turns. I never expected to be infuriated not by my opponents, but by this mind-gaming system.
