Syrus looked at Jaden with an expression that said, "Are you okay?"
Jaden pointed at Yūki, who was leisurely gathering his cards across from them, and lowered his voice with great seriousness to reassure him.
"Think about it! What deck did Yūki use this time? That was [Cyber Dragon]!!"
"That's Kaiser's deck! The supreme symbol of kingship over all of Duel Academy!"
Jaden's eyes shone, and he even made an exaggerated gesture of a giant dragon roaring.
"That Cyber End Dragon with eight thousand attack points, and that big guy with five thousand attack afterward-anyone in the academy standing in your shoes would definitely have been finished off in one turn too!"
"You were facing power on the same level as Kaiser! Losing to a legendary, god-tier deck like that isn't your fault at all!"
"If that makes you a scrub, wouldn't all those times I lost to Yūki make me worse than a rookie? Hahahaha!"
Jaden scratched his head and laughed without a care.
Yet this god-tier reassurance, practically unique to a single-celled organism, struck Syrus Truesdale's ears like a bolt from the blue!
Syrus froze on the spot.
His dull, empty eyes suddenly darted.
Wait...
What did Jaden just say?!
Cyber Dragon... was his brother's deck?!
The most elite, legendary deck in the entire academy?!
And Yūki... had merely used a god-tier deck identical to his brother's?!
"That's right..."
Syrus's previously lifeless heart suddenly began pounding wildly.
The counter deck I painstakingly prepared was aimed at Yūki's own diabolical tactics!
But that guy didn't use his own real skills at all today. He relied entirely on my brother's Cyber Style secrets to crush me!
I didn't lose to Yūki... I lost to the invincible legend my brother left behind!
Yes! That's it! That has to be it!!
