Yu-Gi-Oh!: I've Been Kidnapped by the Spirits and Taken to Duel City

Chapter 54 A Bitter Choice

"No problem, Lord Malik."

The Gurus Hunter gave a very generic response befitting a Gurus Hunter.

As Malik's ritual faded from his mind, he suddenly became manic, bursting into a ferocious laugh:

"Hahahaha, Malik... Lord Malik, you may not know, but I have been completely transformed!"

"Once I've finished my hunt, the next one, the next one will be your God Card! Hahaha, I will finally become the Lord of Gurus!"

……

After leaving Grandpa's card shop, everyone went to see Shizuka's younger sister.

After everyone left the hospital, Kagura Kiryu went to Kaiba Corporation.

President Kaiba seemed to have anticipated his arrival, standing with his arms crossed and an arrogant, haughty posture.

They practically screamed on their faces, "Come and thank me, this is a gift from me."

But Kagura Kiryu, being a typical externally draining personality, stared at President Kaiba from there. Finally, after ten minutes, Seto Kaiba unilaterally ended this staring contest, letting out a cold snort:

"come over."

Kaiba Keihei, who witnessed the two's childish behavior: ...

That's normal, after all, my brothers are still high school students, cough cough.

Keihei, who is 5 years younger than the president, is feeling a bit tired.

The three stood inside the elevator. Kagura Kiryu sighed, "Thank you for today, Kaiba."

Seto Kaiba snorted again. As a tsundere, he certainly wouldn't say anything like "you're welcome" or "it's my pleasure."

"I'm just returning a favor to you."

He led Kagura into the research and development department, took a duel disk from a staff member, and handed it to Kagura Kiryu: "Put this on."

"This is a model that was temporarily modified based on the duel disk you sent."

"You finished it in just one night? That's incredibly efficient."

After Kagura Kiryu dueled with Mitarai Shira that day, he casually stole the other's Duel Disk.

But after fiddling with it for a while, I found that this duel disk was quite high-tech, even having a fingerprint recognition system, so it was impossible to use.

In desperation, he thought of the president of Hikari, who was only 16 years old and had mastered computer science, neurobiology, aerospace, quantum physics and even ancient Egyptian.

The president was very efficient; he disassembled the duel disk that very night and replicated a new model the next day.

"Hmph, this is just a sample. Don't get your hopes up. I just took one of your Duel Disks and am giving you another one."

After saying that, Guiping handed over a box: "Here, this is your reward for handing over this technology to Haima Company. It contains some rare cards and an account opened in the United States."

"There is $5 million in the account, and 10% of the profits generated by the new Duel Disk will be deposited into this account in the future."

Kagura Kiryu never expected that a single game of cards would make him a rich man.

After all, this was $90 million in Japan in the late 500s, and its value would at least double today.

Although the world of card games doesn't place much emphasis on money, it's still quite fun.

After Kagura Kiryu put on the new Duel Disk, President Kaiba also took out a Duel Disk and smiled.

"Heh, after testing, the new Duel Disk can now support the descent of a god. Kagura, are you ready for your revenge battle?"

Kagura Kiryu: ......

"Kaiba, I'm not in the mood to fight you right now."

Kagura Kiryu is very tired, but she received 360-degree care from her friends today.

I really want to go home and rest.

"Very well, let's save our battle for the Duel City finals!"

Seto Kaiba tossed his trench coat aside and launched into his classic three-part laugh: "Hahahaha, I will definitely win the throne of the Duel King!"

Kiryu Kagura: I don't know if you can win the title of Duel King, but you definitely can't beat Yugi.

......

By the time he left the gates of Haima Company, it was already getting dark.

To get home faster, he simply took a shortcut through a narrow alley.

"Why does this scene feel so much like the decision a cannon fodder character in an anime would make?"

As Kagura Kiryu hurried along, he muttered to himself, when the Dark Magician Girl emerged from the deck, sticking out her little tongue like a demon:

"Awooo, I am the wronged spirit who died because of your gambling! Let's duel!"

Kagura Kiryu grabbed her tongue directly; "Where did this brat come from? Let me taste the saltiness."

"Oh, Master, stop fooling around."

The black magician blushed slightly, and the two of them continued to bicker and tease each other until they encountered an unexpected scene.

He was kneeling on the ground, his cards scattered, and in front of him, a black-robed figure bearing the insignia of Gurus chuckled.

"Junior Joey, the runner-up of the Duel Kingdom and the wielder of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, is nothing special. I'll accept your Red-Eyes."

Castle was filled with remorse, pounding the ground in despair; "Search! My Red-Eyed Demon!"

"Within the city."

A familiar voice called out to him, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure.

Kagura Kiryu looked at him seriously: "Did he steal your Red-Eyes Black Dragon?"

"Kagura..."

Katsuya Jonouchi's gaze was complicated. He lowered his head and slapped himself. "I was too careless. This guy is using the Exodia deck. I'm such an idiot."

"Don't blame yourself, within the city."

Kagura Kiryu strode forward, looking at the Gurus Hunter; "Because I will help you win it back."

"Hehehe, you're very confident."

The Gurus hunter, wearing two large earrings, had his eyes darting around.

"You must be Kagura Kiryu, then let's wager your dark magician and the dark magician in my hand!"

"no problem."

Kagura Kiryu took out the deck separated by baffles from the card box and added a few more separated cards to the deck.

These are replacement cards he made in advance, divided into several categories, each designed to target different enemies.

These cards are perfect for dealing with Exodia decks.

"Duel!" x2

【Kagura Kiryu: LP4000】

[Gurus Hunter: LP4000]

"Hehehe, well then, you, as the challenger, will go first."

Kiryu Kagura really wanted to reply: You are the challenger.

But thinking about it, this statement seems full of warnings, and the lesson I learned from a certain 2.5 point is still fresh in my mind.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Kagura Kiryu didn't know what the other party's purpose was in letting him go first. Logically speaking, the Dark Mage deck should have been more advantageous in gaining the first move.

He glanced at the card he had drawn: "I summon [Magic Knight: Defender] in Defense Position."

A knight clad in blue magical armor stood on the dueling ground, holding a pitifully small short sword in his hand, but protecting himself behind a shield as tall as a person.

[Magic Knight: Defender, Level 4, Light Attribute, Spellcaster Type, DEF 2000, Effect Monster]

"Then I set a card face down, and the turn ends."

Gurus Hunter: "Heh, a defense monster with an attack power of 2000? It really reminds me of my cowardly past!"

But I've been completely transformed!

"My turn, draw a card!"

"First, I activate this card! [A Bitter Choice]!"
