"Watashi no turn, draw!"
You Feng drew a card, a sudden gleam flashing in his eyes.
"First, I'll flip one of the monsters on my field! Come forth, Needle Worm!" You Feng flipped the card face-up, revealing the insectoid monster.
"Next, I activate Needle Worm's effect! The opponent must send the top five cards of their deck to the Graveyard!" A smirk played on You Feng's lips.
Mitsuo's deck was down to only eight cards!
"At the same time, I'm activating a Spell from my hand: Card of Sanctity! Both players draw from their decks until they have six cards in hand! You only have three, which means you have to draw three more!" You Feng's gaze locked onto Mitsuo's deck.
With every card Mitsuo drew, he felt a shiver run through his entire body.
His deck now held a mere five cards.
"Mitsuo! Facing your Gambler Deck, I didn't even bother using my official deck to duel you. However, it seems you can't even withstand my chain! Now, prepare to meet your fated defeat!" You Feng held a card high, his presence radiating an overwhelming pressure.
"N-nani..." Mitsuo gritted his teeth.
"I activate the Spell card from my handCard Destruction!" You Feng shouted. Mitsuo's expression turned hideously pale. After his current hand was discarded, he was required to draw six more cards. But since his deck only had five left, he was unable to fulfill the requirement.
Mitsuo had lost.
"I... I lost?!" Mitsuo stood there in a daze before falling to his knees. He was filled with utter disbelief. His opponent hadn't even attacked him, yet the match was over. A victory like thiswasn't this supposed to be his specialty?

"Yosh!! As expected of You Feng!" Jaden Yuki couldn't help but shout in excitement from the sidelines.
"You Feng..." Alexis Rhodes offered a small smile. No matter what deck You Feng used, he always managed to quickly establish his own unique style. That was beyond doubt, and it was precisely that quality that made him so consistently charismatic and attractive.
"Curse you! I won't just hand Alexis over to you! I'll be back!" Mitsuo gritted his teeth, preparing to slink away.
"Hold it! Give me that red silk scarf from your suit pocket. That is the price of your loss," You Feng said coldly. He walked straight over and snatched the red silk scarf back.
"That's..." Alexis felt her heart skip a beat. Could it be that You Feng knew the significance of that red silk scarf?
"As expected of my idol! You Feng is too amazing, haha!" Atticus Rhodes shouted enthusiastically.
"Tch!" Having lost, Mitsuo knew staying any longer would only invite further humiliation. He hurried to leave Duel Academy.
"You Feng, you have helped the academy once again. Truly, thank you," Chancellor Sheppard said.
"Of course! He is the only legendary duelist in our Duel Academy, after all!" Professor Crowler added with a laugh.
"Alexis, this is yours..." You Feng walked to Alexis's side and handed her the red silk scarf.
Alexis took the scarf, feeling moved but also deeply confused. How did You Feng know it belonged to her?
"How did you know this scarf was mine?" This incident had happened back in the third grade; aside from her and Mitsuo, no one else should have known.
"You'll understand in the future, but now is not the time to tell you." You Feng shook his head, having no intention of answering the question yet.
"By the way, I have a favor to ask of you two, Atticus, Zane..." You Feng turned his eyes toward the two of them.
"Ahem, You Feng, you're being too polite. Just say the word, and if it's within my power, I'll give it my all!" Atticus said, quickly patting his chest.
"Does You Feng need us to deal with the Shadow Riders?" Zane Truesdale, living up to his reputation as the tactical mind of the group, immediately grasped You Feng's intent.
You Feng felt that with only three Shadow Riders left, dealing with them one by one would be too tedious and time-consuming. It was better to let these two handle the remaining lackeys.
Having Atticus deal with the Black Scorpion group and Zane take on Abidos the Third shouldn't be an issue. That would leave the strongest, Professor Banner, for You Feng to handle personally.
"As expected of The Kaiser, you guessed my intent immediately. There are only three Shadow Riders left. I already know who the other two targets are, so I'll need the two of you to handle them. As for the final one, leave him to me!" You Feng told the pair.
"I understand. Leave it to me!" Atticus nodded vigorously.
"As long as it's for the academy, I'll help with whatever is needed. You can rest assured," Zane replied with a calm nod.
"The Shadow Riders, is it..." Professor Banner murmured to himself. Pharaoh, the cat resting under Banner's large hand, let out a soft meow as a strange light flickered in the professor's eyes.
