"Can I give it a try too?"
Judai's big eyes sparkled with innocent excitement, his face full of eager anticipation.
"Of course you can."
Master Samejima chuckled. He gestured for Marufuji Ryo to hand over the Duel Disc and Card Deck to little Judai.
"But let me say this upfront, it's not something easy to achieve," Samejima smiled, "To truly synchronize with the Card Deck requires persistent practice and insight to reach that level.
This is exactly why we practice diligently here day after day."
Young Marufuji Ryo took off his Duel Disc and handed it to Judai: "Here you go."
"Thank you!" Judai carefully took it.
Marufuji Ryo was quite friendly: "Your first attempt might not go as expected, but don't get discouraged. This Card Deck is specially used for training, aside from 'Cyber Dragon' and 'Fusion', all the other cards are meant for disruption.
So it's normal not to draw the right cards at first, it took me a long time to get to this level myself..."
Youyu roughly understood.
It means that among the forty cards of this deck, apart from Cyber Dragon and Fusion, all other cards are intentionally confusing, meant to clog your hand.
The essence of Cyber Style training is whether you can draw the perfect combination of cards with one draw from a deck of forty.
To this, Youyu could only say, as expected from a style with divine draws as its ultimate goal, this training method is indeed hardcore...
Though Samejima's attitude was encouraging for Judai to try, and Marufuji Ryo was polite as well, in truth, everyone in the dojo, including them, didn't have high expectations for Judai's attempt.
After all, even Marufuji Ryo, the only acknowledged genius in the Cyber Style dojo, seen by Samejima as extraordinarily talented, initially drew incomprehensible hands on his first try too.
To speak of understanding this "Human-Card Integration" level, perhaps no one in the dojo understands it better than Marufuji Ryo.
Being termed a rare genius by Master Samejima, Marufuji Ryo had already touched the threshold of divine draws at a young age. Though his current performance isn't perfectly stable, he is a promising Duelist with a bright future and indeed has reasons to be proud.
Only he knows how much effort it took to reach this height today.
Every day in the dojo, he was always the earliest to wake and the last to rest.
Even during holidays, when all his peers would either go home or slack off, he persisted in practicing alone in the dojo.
And Samejima had seen all of this with his own eyes.
It is not the genius that is terrifying, but the fact that the genius works harder than you.
As long as nothing goes wrong, Marufuji Ryo should be the next legitimate successor of the Cyber Style.
Precisely because of this, he understands the difficulty of Cyber Style training more than anyone. It's not something just anyone can accomplish.
However, even Master Samejima was curious about this little jellyfish-haired talent.
After all, being the personally chosen disciple of the Duel King, he must have something special.
Marufuji Ryo even helped shuffle the deck carefully before handing it over to Judai.
"The ultimate goal of our Cyber Style training is to accurately draw the combination to summon 'Cyber End Dragon' from the forty-card deck," Marufuji Ryo explained.
"Oh, oh, oh! It sounds so cool from the name alone!" Judai became interested.
"Yes, that is the ultimate skill of Cyber Style, an ultimate existence fused from three Cyber Dragons," Ryo nodded.
"Alright!" Judai felt like he found his target, "Then I'll summon 'Cyber End Dragon'!"
Marufuji Ryo smiled, "Good luck to you."
Though he said so, he didn't believe this jellyfish-haired boy could do it.
He thought Judai was underestimating the complexity of Cyber Style training.
The ultimate skill of the Cyber Style isn't something that just anyone can learn.
"Alright! Here I go!"
Judai enthusiastically placed his hands on the deck on the Duel Disc under everyone's gazes...
"Draw card!"
An invisible arc swept through the air, and as Judai flipped the drawn card, his eyes lit up.
"Activate Fusion! Fuse two Cyber Dragons!" Little Judai imitated, "Fusion Summon! Cyber Twin Dragon!"
A storm of steel, metal parts assembled under the power of fusion, and golden currents scattered through space as the two-headed Cyber Dragon raised its head and roared behind Judai!
[Cyber Twin Dragon, ATK 2800]
"Nani!?"
The whole audience was stunned.
Even Master Samejima's eyes were wide open.
On his first encounter with Cyber Style, he managed to draw the combination to summon Cyber Twin Dragon from a deck of forty cards with no preparation!
The Cyber Style dojo had accepted so many students, so many disciples, yet none had ever accomplished this!
Even Marufuji Ryo was a bit shocked.
He had been rigorously training for so long, drawing cards diligently day after day, and had only barely touched the realms of Cyber Style's divine draws.
And this new jellyfish-haired boy... managed to do this on his very first attempt!?
This... it must be a coincidence, right?
Probably only Youyu wasn't too surprised, merely smiling and nodding, as if this result was within his expectations.
Sit down, sit down, just a basic operation.
Master Samejima saw Youyu's self-assured expression and automatically interpreted it as his excellent teaching.
Thus, this bald-headed master couldn't help but admire internally—Youyu is indeed remarkable!
Not only is his dueling skill unmatched, but his ability to educate students is also unparalleled!
However, he actually misunderstood Youyu.
Unlike the Cyber Style dojo's days of grueling practice, Judai's divine draws were innate.
And this skill seemed to be a passive ability linked to the dormant power of The Supreme King, far exceeding the level a duelist like Judai should possess.
To put it simply, his divine draws defy logic. Even duelists with a higher level than him can't compare…
Noticing Samejima's admiring gaze, Youyu could only show a helpless face.
Don't look at me, I didn't teach him this.
I'd also love to learn!
Yet, the astonished audience now noticed a slightly disappointed Judai: "It seems like I still couldn't summon 'Cyber End Dragon'..."
Marufuji Ryo, who had barely recovered from the shock, smiled, "That was incredible already. However, to master the ultimate skill of Cyber Style, you need to form deep bonds with your deck..."
"Then... should I give it another shot?"
No one objected, after all.
Though everyone was shocked, they figured it might have been a coincidence.
Drawing two Cyber Dragons and a fusion from forty cards is improbable, yet not impossible.
Everyone was eager to see what would happen in Judai's next attempt.
So after reshuffling the cards, Judai took a deep breath, preparing himself.
"Draw card!"
Judai jumped up in excitement.
"Activate Fusion! Fuse three Cyber Dragons, Fusion Summon! Cyber End Dragon!!!"
The roar of steel, the heavy armor of metal, the ultimate form of Cyber Dragon constructed through triple fusion descended in the center of the dojo, bringing overwhelming pressure!
Cyber End Dragon, summon!
