Yu-Gi-Oh!: I use an Orichalcos deck

Page 267

"I heard you didn't have lunch today, so I made you a bento box." Asuka blushed slightly as she handed over the bento box.

You Yang was somewhat flattered: "Ah, thank you..."

However, before he could even take the lunchbox, another voice suddenly interrupted—.

"Senior You Yang! This is chocolate I made myself in 06!"

A petite girl with pigtails suddenly rushed over, holding a beautifully packaged box of chocolates in her hands, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

"Huh? Wait, you are..." You Yang couldn't recall her name for a moment.

"I'm Fujiwara Sakura from Class 1-B! Senior's performance at the academy tournament was so cool!" the girl exclaimed excitedly.

Asuka narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone carrying a hint of danger: "Oh? Yuu-kun, so you're quite popular even in the lower grades?"

You Yang's forehead was sweating: "No, this..."

Things seem to be getting complicated.

###**【Harem Saga at Duel Academy】**

Since You Yang became famous overnight, his popularity in the college has skyrocketed. Not only do girls cast admiring glances at him, but even some upperclassmen have started to "take special care" of him.

**1. Asuka’s desire for exclusivity**

As Yuuyo's original "official partner," Asuka naturally couldn't tolerate other girls getting close. Every time she saw a girl giving Yuuyo a gift, she would stare at the girl with cold eyes until the girl left awkwardly.

One day after school, You Yang was surrounded by a group of girls who were chattering and asking him to teach them dueling techniques. Asuka stood not far away, arms crossed, a slight smile playing on her lips—but that smile sent chills down one's spine.

"Lord Youyang, are you very busy?" she asked softly.

You Yang froze, then forced a dry laugh: "Haha... I was just helping out..."

"Really?" Asuka approached, straightened his tie, and whispered in his ear, "Then don't be late for tonight's special training~"

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving You Yang and a group of dumbfounded girls behind.

**2. Sakura Fujiwara's straight-ball attack**

Fujiwara Sakura is Yuu's number one fangirl. She has a lively and cheerful personality and is completely unafraid of Asuka's "death stare." She finds various reasons to get close to Yuu every day, such as—

"Senior! How do I use this card?"

"Senior! Can you teach me Fusion Summoning?"

"Senior! These are some freshly baked cookies, have a taste!"

Asuka would snort every time she saw her, but Fujiwara Sakura didn't care at all and still stuck to Yuuyo with a smile.

**3. The Mysterious Transfer Student: Rio Kamishiro**

One day, a mysterious blue-haired girl, **Rio Kamishiro**, suddenly transferred to the academy. She had a cold personality, but seemed to pay special attention to Yuuyo.

"You're the Yu Yang who defeated Seto Kaiba?" She stood in front of Yu Yang, her icy blue eyes staring directly at him.

“Uh, yes…” You Yang was a little confused.

"Interesting." Rio's lips curled into a slight smile. "Let's have a duel next time."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving You Yang looking bewildered.

Asuka squinted at the side: "Another troublesome guy has arrived..."

###**【Youyang's Sweet Troubles】**

As more and more girls showed interest in You Yang, his daily life completely descended into chaos—

In the morning, the shoe cabinet was stuffed with love letters and chocolates;

During lunch breaks, girls would often "bump into" him and invite him to lunch.

After school, Asuka and Sakura Fujiwara often secretly compete over who will walk home with Yuuyo.

One day, You Yang finally couldn't hold back any longer and stood on the rooftop, looking up at the sky and sighing:

"I just want to play cards in peace and quiet!!!"

However, fate seemed determined not to let him go—

**"Lord Youyang~"**

"Senior!"

"You Yang, come and duel!"

Three beautiful girls with distinct styles appeared behind him, each wearing a different smile.

Chapter 293 Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon

In Yuki's apartment, Sayo was sprawled on the sofa, swinging her fair legs, watching the dueling match on TV with great interest. Since becoming Yuki's card spirit, her life had become much more lively. "Yuki-sama! Look, that player is also using the Galaxy Eyes deck!" Sayo pointed excitedly at the screen, her eyes sparkling. Yuki, who was organizing his deck, looked up at the screen. The duelist on the screen was summoning the Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon; the silver-white dragon roared across the battlefield, crushing its opponent in one blow.

"Hmm, Photon Dragon is indeed very strong." Yuuki smiled slightly, "However, my build might be a little different from his." Just then, the doorbell rang. Asuka went to open the door and found a courier in a black uniform standing outside, holding a gold-embossed envelope. "Mr. Yuuki's express delivery."

Yuki took the envelope, opened it, and found an exquisite invitation inside—"To the esteemed duelist Yuki: You are cordially invited to participate in the Galaxy Cup Elite Invitational Tournament. The winner will receive the legendary Galaxy Eye Aurora Dragon card and a special partner. Location: Sky Arena, New Domino City. Time: Tomorrow at 20:00."

Galaxy Eye Aurora Dragon? Yuuki raised an eyebrow. Wasn't that the legendary card? Sayo leaned closer, asking curiously, "Is Yuuki-sama going?" Yuuki pondered for a moment, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Of course, these kinds of opportunities don't come often." Asuka crossed her arms, a half-smile on her face: "You're not going for that special partner, are you?" Yuuki coughed: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm going for the cards." Sayo blinked, then suddenly grabbed Yuuki's arm: "Then I want to go too! I can be Yuuki-sama's cheerleader!"

The Sky Arena of New Domino City floats above the city like a giant aerial fortress. When Yuki arrived with Sayo and Asuka, the arena was already packed. "Wow! How magnificent!" Sayo exclaimed excitedly, looking around. Asuka whispered, "This competition seems extraordinary; all the duelists are top-tier." Yuki nodded, his gaze sweeping across the contestants' seats before suddenly settling on a certain figure—a female duelist clad in a silver bodysuit, her long, deep blue hair cascading down like a waterfall, her eyes as deep as the starry sky. She seemed to sense Yuki's gaze, tilting her head slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Who is she?" Yuuki asked in a low voice. Asuka followed his gaze: looking at her duel disk, it seemed to be the expert deck of the Celestials. Just then, the announcement came over the loudspeaker: "Welcome, duelists, to the Galaxy Cup! The first round of the competition is about to begin!"

Yuuki's first opponent was none other than the mysterious blue-haired beauty. She stood opposite him with a slight smile: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Yuuki. I am Hoshino Hikaru." Yuuki nodded: "Hello." Hoshino Hikaru raised her duel disk, a glint of fighting spirit in her eyes: "I heard your Chaos Warrior deck is very strong, but it seems you've changed your deck this time?"

DUEL! With the system announcement, the duel disks of both players opened simultaneously. Yuuki's fingertips swept across his deck, the Galaxy Eyes deck shimmering in the sunlight. First turn, my turn! He drew his hand and activated the Spell Card Galaxy Expedition! Add a Galaxy Monster from my deck to my hand! The deck was automatically shuffled, and a shimmering card popped out. I add Galaxy Knight to my hand!

Hoshino Hikaru watched his actions with interest: Galaxy Knight? Looks like he's planning to quickly summon Photon Dragon. Yuuki didn't respond and continued: Normal Summon Galaxy Knight! Then he activated its effect, Special Summoning Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from his hand! The silver-white dragon descended in a burst of light, scattering countless points of light as its wings spread.

It's not over yet. Yuki draws another card and activates Xyz Network! He overlays the two Galaxy Monsters on the field! Galaxy Knight and Photon Dragon transform into streaks of light and plunge into the vortex in the sky. Xyz Summon! Descend, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon Emperor! An even more majestic dragon roars as it descends, its body radiating dazzling starlight.

Hikaru Hoshino clapped softly: A beautiful development. However... she suddenly flipped over her face-down card and activated the Trap Card Starfall! When you Special Summon a LIGHT monster, you can halve its ATK! A beam of starlight fell from the sky, striking Photon Dragon King, instantly reducing its ATK from 4000 to 2000.

Yuuki frowned: "Two cards face down, end of turn. Looks like my opponent was prepared." Hoshino Hikaru elegantly drew a card: "My turn. Activate the effect of Celestial Sirius, Special Summon another Celestial from my Deck!" Two uniquely designed Star Warriors appeared on her field. Then, she stacked the two Celestials! Xyz Summon! Celestial Summer Triangle!

Her ace monster appears, a warrior woven from starlight wielding a longbow. Summer Triangle's effect activates! Remove one Xyz Material and destroy one card on your field! Yuuki immediately responds: Activate the Quick-Play Spellbook Photon Leap! Return Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon Emperor to the Extra Deck and Special Summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from the Graveyard! Photon Dragon Emperor reassembles into light particles, and the normal Photon Dragon reappears, avoiding the destruction effect.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Hoshino Hikaru's eyes: Not bad. "Then, Summer Triangle, attack directly!" The Starlight Arrow hurtled towards Yuki. "Activate the face-down card!" Yuki shouted, "Damage Capacitor!" "When you take battle damage, you can Special Summon a monster from your hand with an ATK lower than that damage!" "I Special Summon Galactic Magister!"

The mage in the star-patterned robe blocked the attack, reducing Yuuki's health to 6000. End of round. Hoshino Hikaru smiled slightly, "Looks like defeating you won't be so easy." Yuuki wiped the sweat from his brow: "Likewise."

"My turn!" As Yuuki drew his card, Sayo clenched her fists nervously in the audience. "Activate the effect of Galactic Magus! Add one Galactic Spell to your hand from the deck!" The deck searched rapidly, and a dazzling Spell Card appeared. Then, activate the Spell Card Galactic Storm! Destroy all Spell & Trap Cards on your field!

Hikaru Hoshino's face-down card was torn apart by a whirlwind. Then, Normal Summon Metroid! A new monster joins the battlefield. Activate Metroid's effect to Special Summon Galaxy Knight from the Graveyard! Yuuki quickly gathers three monsters on his field. Overlay Metroid and Galaxy Knight! Xyz Summon! Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon!

A jet-black dragon spread its wings, starlight flowing across its scales. Dark Matter Dragon's effect! Banish three monsters from your deck! Three cards automatically popped from Hoshino Hikari's deck, her brow furrowing slightly. Battle! Dark Matter Dragon attacks Summer Triangle! Black breath engulfed the Starlight Warrior, reducing Hoshino Hikari's Life Points to 4500.

Not over yet! Photon Dragon attacks directly! The silver-white dragon spews out a dazzling beam of light. Suddenly, Hoshino Hikaru smiles: Activating the effect of Stardust Vega in the Graveyard! If banished, it can be Special Summoned! Starlight re-illuminates her field. Then, she activates the Quick-Play Spell Starfield! This turn, I take 0 battle damage!

Photon Dragon's attack was blocked by a suddenly appearing Starlight Barrier. Yuuki gritted his teeth: Set one card, end your turn. The situation became tense again. As Hoshino Hikari drew a card, her long hair shimmered under the light: My turn. Activate the Spell Card Star Inheritance! Special Summon two Star Warriors from the Graveyard! She quickly gathered three monsters on her field again.

Stack three Star Warriors! Hoshino Hikaru's voice suddenly soared, "Starlight beyond limits! Descend, Star Warrior Tensei!" An even more magnificent Star Warrior appeared, wielding dual swords. Tensei's effect! Removes three Xyz Materials, allowing you to attack the Kingdom three times this turn!

Yuki's expression changed. Battle! Tianjin Si attacks the Dark Matter Dragon! The Starlight Sword slashes down, destroying the Dark Matter Dragon, and Yuki's HP drops to 3500. Second attack! Tianjin Si attacks directly! The second sword strikes, leaving Yuki with only 500 HP.

The final blow! Hoshino Hikaru waved his hand. Just as the Starlight Sword was about to fall, Yuki suddenly flipped over his face-down card: Trap Card Photonify! He released the Photon Dragon on the field, and all damage I take this turn becomes 0! The Photon Dragon transformed into a light shield and blocked the fatal blow.

Hoshino Hikaru was slightly surprised: What a tenacious defense. The turn ended. Yuki took a deep breath, looking at his last remaining card. The audience was silent; everyone held their breath, waiting for his final desperate attempt.

My turn... Draw! Yuuki's fingertips swept across his deck, and a card shimmering with rainbow light was drawn. His pupils widened slightly: This is... Galaxy Eye Aurora Dragon? The card had appeared in his deck at some point, and was now radiating a warm glow.

Activate the Spell Card Monster Resurrection! Revive the Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from the Graveyard! The silver dragon descends once more. Then, activate the Special Effect of Aurora Dragon! Reveal this card in your hand; this turn, I can Special Summon one Galaxy-Eyes monster from my Extra Deck! Yuuki raises his shining card high, descend, Galaxy-Eyes Aurora Dragon!

A rainbow of light descended from the sky, and a dragon even more magnificent than Photon Dragon unfurled its crystal-like wings, illuminating the entire arena in a dreamlike state. Aurora Dragon's effect! Once per turn, it can absorb the attack power of one monster on your opponent's field! A rainbow beam enveloped Deneb, and Aurora Dragon's attack power soared to 5500.

Battle! Aurora Dragon attacks Tianjin IV! Aurora Siphon Slash! A seven-colored torrent engulfed the Star Warrior, and Hoshino Hikaru's HP reached zero. A deafening cheer erupted in the arena. Hoshino Hikaru, slightly out of breath, then revealed a genuine smile: A wonderful duel, Mr. Yuuki.

After the match, Hikari Hoshino stopped Yuki in the player tunnel. "Congratulations on winning the championship." She handed him an exquisite box, the promised prize. Yuki opened the box; inside lay a physical card of Galaxy Eyes Aurora Dragon and a card with contact information. Hikari Hoshino blushed slightly: "As for that special partner... if you're interested, you can contact me. I'm very interested in your dueling style..."

Suddenly, Xiaoye popped up from the side, pouting, and grabbed Yuki's arm: "Yuki-sama already has me!" Hoshino Hikaru couldn't help but chuckle: "What an adorable partner." Yuki awkwardly scratched his head, watching Hoshino Hikaru's departing figure, then looked down at the Aurora Dragon card in his hand, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips. It seemed today's match had yielded more than just cards.

Chapter 294 Duel Tower

Yuuki watched Hoshino Hikaru's departing figure, the Galaxy Eyes Aurora Dragon card in her hand shimmering faintly under the light. Sayo pouted beside her, her fingers twisting the ribbon on her magic wand incessantly. "Yuuki-sama has been staring at that woman's back for a long time..." she muttered softly, her voice filled with jealousy.

Asuka walked over and nudged Yuki in the waist with her elbow: "Hey, snap out of it. Shouldn't Mr. Champion be treating us to dinner?" She winked mischievously, "Or...would you rather treat that Ms. Hoshino alone?"

Yuki then snapped out of his daze, coughing lightly to cover his embarrassment: "Don't talk nonsense. I was just thinking about this card..." He looked down at the Aurora Dragon card, suddenly noticing a line of small text on the back of the card—"Come find me at the Planetarium."

"Huh?" Yuuki turned the card over and over, examining it closely. Before he could finish speaking, the card suddenly emitted a faint blue light and vibrated gently in his palm. Sayo and Asuka also came closer, their three heads almost bumping together.

This is... a tracking spell? Xiaoye's professional eye immediately recognized the energy fluctuations; someone had attached a tracking spell to the card!

Asuka raised an eyebrow: "Looks like our champion is being watched." She pulled out her phone and quickly started typing, "Let me check where this planetarium is... Got it! It's an astronomical observatory on the outskirts of Mino City, built with funding from the Hoshino Foundation."

Yuki stroked the card thoughtfully. Hoshino Hikaru... the Hoshino Group... this was all too much of a coincidence. He looked up at his two companions: "Should we go take a look?"

"Of course I'll go!" Xiaoye immediately raised her hand, the star at the tip of her magic wand shining brightly. "Just in case it's a trap, I can protect Lord Yuuki!"

Asuka sighed: I knew I couldn't stop you guys. Let's go, I'll go get the car.

As night fell, the three drove to the planetarium in the suburbs. It was a futuristic spherical building, entirely covered with solar panels, which gleamed with a cold metallic sheen under the moonlight. Strangely, the door was ajar, and a soft blue light emanated from within.

"Be careful." Yuki whispered, gently pushing open the door. Before them lay a vast planetarium, its dome projecting a boundless starry sky. Hoshino Hikaru stood with her back to them in front of the central control panel, her long blue hair shimmering like a flowing galaxy under the starlight.

"You've come." She said without turning her head, her voice echoing in the empty hall. "I knew you would find this place."

Yu Ji is wary of the land and takes a step forward: Is the information on this card something you left behind?

Hikaru Hoshino finally turned around, her eyes gleaming with an eerie light in the darkness—not human eyes, but a stream of data as deep as the starry sky. "Not just me," she whispered, "but her too."

The console screen suddenly lit up, displaying a familiar figure—Sakura Mana, the creator of Saya. "Mr. Yuki, long time no see," Mana's projection smiled and said, "To be precise, we've never truly met."

Xiao Ye gasped, nearly dropping her magic wand: "Master Mana?!" Her voice trembled, "You're still alive?"

Mana's image shook its head: "My physical body has long since perished. What you see now is merely a backup of my consciousness stored in the Hoshino Foundation's database." She looked at Hoshino Hikaru, and said, "Ms. Hoshino... she, like me, is a victim of the New World Project."

Hikaru Hoshino walked up to Yuki and slowly removed her contact lenses—her eyes were entirely composed of flowing data. Three years ago, I suffered an accident during a duel experiment, and my body was swallowed by the electronic world. The Hoshino Foundation used fragments of chaotic code to preserve my consciousness in this bionic body.

Yuki gasped. He recalled his fusion with the chaotic code, and the various anomalies in the electronic world. So... what exactly is the New World Project?
