Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with a Hellish Deck, Depressing the World

[Attack Power: 100]

[Defense: 300]

"What?! What's going on?!"

Atticus Rhodes was momentarily stunned, looking with some surprise at the two monsters that had been Special Summon to Jiang He's field! "Is it the effect of those two [Ceruli, Guru of Dark World] monsters?"

On the sidelines Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Bastion Misawa, and the others also showed surprised expressions and couldn't help but speculate.

"It's this monster's special effect: [Ceruli, Guru of Dark World] can be Special Summon to the Defense Position's field in Defense Position when it's discarded to the Graveyard due to a card effect!" Jiang He gave an affirmative answer directly.

Then, with a smile, he casually placed two cards face down, then took out a crucial card and gestured for it. "Next, I'll bury two Pot of Greed, activate Spell Card from my hand, [One-Hit Kill! Iaido Draw]!"

"Two ambushes, Pot of Greed...?!" Alexis Rhodes and the Chazz Princeton were immediately shocked by Jiang He's outrageous move.

And what about using [Pot of Greed] as an Ambush card, placing it face-down on the field when not in use?!

Even Atticus Rhodes, who was opposite Jiang He and was his opponent in the "Rehabilitation Training" duel, looked astonished.

"Just set cards like [Pot of Greed] face-down on the field and don't use them... does that mean they're not needed at all?" Kaiser Zane Truesdale instantly understood the meaning behind Jiang He's shrewd move and guessed in surprise! Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately fell on the Spell Card [One-Hit Kill! Iaido Draw] that appeared on the field in front of Jiang He after he activated it!

On that Spell Card was an image of someone with their hand on a katana, poised to unleash a powerful Iaijutsu!

Clearly, the key to all of this lies in this card!

Even her rival Atticus Rhodes, immediately focused her attention on it.

"This card's effect: Discard one card from your hand to send the number of cards your opponent controls from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard. Then draw one card. If that drawn card is also [One-Hit Kill! Iaido Draw], destroy all cards on the field. For each card destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent!"

Jiang He spoke with a smile, sending a card from his hand to the graveyard before placing his hand on his Duel Disk deck.

As if gathering momentum, he began to unleash his divine draw skill: the Top-Tier Clear Mind!

Instantly, a unique aura of power emanated from him!

Every game, you're guaranteed to draw a card you want, or even a card that's not in your deck but that you already own—a truly amazing draw opportunity!

"It's actually a card that relies entirely on gambles for card draws and has synergy effects between decks?!" Nurse Fontaine, Bastion Misawa, Syrus Truesdale, and the others all showed expressions of astonishment.

Jiang He, that guy, actually knows how to use a card that's not even remotely sinister?!

In contrast to them, Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Chazz Princeton, and Jaden Yuki had already developed strange expressions.

"That feeling, there's absolutely no mistake!"

They could already sense that familiar duelist aura emanating from Jiang He!

If it's this guy, it doesn't seem impossible for him to draw the card he wants...!

They even had a strange feeling that the duelist aura emanating from Jiang He this time seemed far stronger than they had sensed before.

And indeed, that is the case!

Because this time, Jiang He's method wasn't just a simple lucky draw like before.

Rather, it's the truly top-tier ability of clear-headed clarity that allows one to draw a card from their own deck that they didn't include!

To ensure that the extremely rare event of drawing all three [One-Hit Kill! Iaido Draw] cards in one turn does not occur.

Give Alexis's brother a perfect... depressing experience.

He even went so far as to inhumanely place one of the [One-Hit Kill! Iaido Draw] cards directly into another deck.

"I would call this card-drawing technique 'What a fast knife!'" Jiang He blurted out a witty remark the moment he drew the card.

The next second, he pulled the card from the top of the deck!

"Bang!!"

The two monsters in defensive stance in front of Atticus Rhodes, as well as the two [Pot of Greed] face-down cards that Jiang He had hidden on his own field, all instantly turned blood red and exploded with a flash of cold light!

Atticus Rhodes's original [4000LP] HP was also instantly wiped out by (Zhao Dehao)!

"The card Jiang He drew really was... [One-Hit Kill! Iaido Draw] Shin!"

Alexis Rhodes, Bastion Misawa, Kaiser Zane Truesdale, and the others watched in shock as Atticus Rhodes's life points were depleted, while simultaneously recognizing the card that Jiang He had drawn from his hand!

Meanwhile, Atticus Rhodes knelt on the ground with a bewildered expression, looking at her depleted life points, her untouched hand of cards, and her Duel Disk deck.

A deep silence fell over them...!

[Ding, Atticus Rhodes's Emotion Points +300]

He seemed to have just experienced a duel, yet it also seemed as if he hadn't fought at all.

Aside from the pain of being instantly killed, there was absolutely no enjoyable experience in dueling!

"Alexis- senpai, have you felt any fragments of your memories returning?"

Jiang He, with an encouraging expression, clenched his fist and asked Atticus Rhodes.

"Um... it seems, there is indeed a slight glimpse of something deep within my memory, a familiar feeling welling up inside."

Atticus Rhodes covered his head with his hand and said.

I vaguely remembered something about the Shadow Duel we had before.

Then he immediately perked up and looked at Jiang He, "Please do it again! This time, I'll definitely win and remember even more memories!"

"Just got it!" Jiang He gave a thumbs-up in encouragement!

While doing so, he quickly switched to a new One-Turn Kill Exodia the Forbidden One Deck and placed it in the Duel Disk.

"Why does this scene feel so familiar?" Syrus Truesdale muttered, his face covered in a cold sweat.

Not only were Atticus Rhodes's memories awakened, but he also seemed to have some terrible memories awakened!

A minute later, as a burst of fire and smoke erupted on the health class grounds, Atticus Rhodes knelt down on the ground again, looking bewildered. She stared at her five untouched cards and her life points, which had been instantly wiped out by Jiang He's Exodia the Forbidden One.

I'm starting to have some doubts about life.

Why is it that even though Jiang He changed his deck, he still doesn't have any enjoyable dueling experience besides feeling pain?

He only watched Jiang He talk for half a minute before being instantly killed by the Exodia the Forbidden One.

[Ding! Atticus Rhodes's Emotion Points +600!]

And watching Atticus Rhodes's health points increase to [7000LP], only to have them instantly wiped out by the Exodia the Forbidden One summoned by Jiang He, was an extremely familiar scene.

Chazz Princeton was also covered in sweat, clutching his head, as if he too had been awakened by some terrible memory!

Is this helping that Alexis awaken his memories, or is it helping him recall painful experiences he doesn't want to remember at all?!

"Brother, how are you feeling?" Alexis Rhodes asked hurriedly, looking a bit of a headache.

"I think I've remembered a little more. I seem to have been to a place called Duel Monsters Spirit World, where a Gravekeeper Clan lived, and I had Shadow Duel there."

Atticus Rhodes covered her head and slowly recalled a few fragments of what she had said.

"It seems this stimulation really has some effect!" Teacher Kawa, Caesar Maru, and Kaiser Zane Truesdale, their eyes brightening slightly.

"Then let's try a few more times, Alexis- senpai!" Jiang He smiled enticingly, raising his hand to take out several card decks, which he unfolded in a stylish fan shape.

Lava Golem Deck, Dark HERO Deck, Ojama Deck...

"..." Upon seeing this, Alexis Rhodes, Kaiser Zane Truesdale, and Nurse Fontaine all broke out in a cold sweat.

In particular, Bastion Misawa Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Joume took a step back in a flash after seeing those familiar decks that contained their painful memories!

They all looked at Atticus Rhodes with pity, who was still completely unaware of what was happening.

This amnesiac senior, Alexis, clearly has no idea what terrifying hell lies ahead...!

Alexis Rhodes suddenly felt a headache coming on.

If she continues to fight Jiang He, will her brother recover some of his memory but develop new ailments like high blood pressure and cerebral hemorrhage?!

After a mere fifteen minutes...

(bafc) Atticus Rhodes looked utterly dejected and was carried back to the infirmary by Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Chumley to recuperate.

The torment of being tortured by Jiang He's insane deck for five consecutive rounds has finally ended.

Even those who were just watching, such as Jaden Yuki, Chazz Princeton, and Bastion Misawa, all had expressions of unbearable discomfort on their faces.

I'm almost developing PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)!

Jiang He smacked his lips, seemingly still wanting more.

The joyful time of a duel always seems so short!

He's only used about half of the ten or so card decks he exchanged earlier!

Jiang He said, "If only this future brother-in-law could have held on a little longer!"

Fortunately, these five consecutive "rehabilitation training" duels have earned him nearly two thousand Emotion Points!

Furthermore, he successfully helped Alexis's brother, Atticus Rhodes, recall most of the things he experienced while possessed by Darkness.

Noticing the regretful expression on Jiang He's face, Alexis Rhodes was both amused and exasperated.

This guy has an outrageously twisted sense of humor.

Fortunately, despite the ordeal, her brother at least regained some of his memories.

However, for some reason, I still can't recall any of the memories from before I was possessed by Darkness.

"Jiang He, regarding my brother's past memories, is it possible...?" Alexis Rhodes had also guessed something about the situation and asked Jiang He hesitantly.

Although she didn't finish her sentence, Jiang He could easily understand what Alexis meant.

He nodded, giving an affirmative answer, "If I'm not mistaken, your brother's memories are very likely from when he was possessed by Darkness. To better control his body, Darkness is currently still sealed somewhere within the Shadow Duel ritual space of that abandoned dormitory." "I knew it!" Alexis Rhodes clenched her fists and frowned.

"So how can we retrieve Alexis's brother's sealed memories?" Alexis's two close friends, Jasmine and Mindy, couldn't help but ask Jiang He.

Everyone else also turned their curious gazes toward Jiang He.

If we're talking about who knows the most about the Shadow Duel and related rumors, it seems like only Jiang He on their side does.

"Since that's where Alexis- nii became Shadow Riders Dark Duelists, then the temporary control of that Shadow Duel Ritual Space should be in the hands of the Shadow Riders Dark Forces." Seeing the questioning looks from Alexis and the others, Jiang He recalled the situation from his memory and said with absolute certainty.

"So all we need to do is wait until the two remaining Shadow Riders Dark Duelists appear, and then set the stakes for our Shadow Duel as Alexis- senpai's memories."

Jiang He remembered that in the original timeline, some of his future brother- Atticus Rhodes's memories were sealed away.

He must be that old, unlucky guy, the fake Shadow Duel Titan, who was probably depressed by him before and then unconscious, and was swallowed up in that Shadow Duel ritual space.

"In the end, will we still have to resort to that dangerous, Shadow Duel to retrieve my brother's memories?" Alexis Rhodes said with a heavy expression.

But at this moment, she suddenly had a hope that the two remaining Shadow Riders Dark Duelists would appear soon!

Then, find a way to defeat one of them as soon as possible and reclaim her brother's memories!

Otherwise, even now, through Jiang He's method, he has slightly recalled some of his experiences as Shadow Duel.

But she still can't remember anything about her family from before.
