"Let's see what we got here." Ryuji look at the tablet screen with expectations. He quickly checks every Rank 4 and level 4 archetype card he could find. Since he wants to build a deck around Bagooska, a level 4 focus deck is the most suitable.
Of course, the most important thing for the deck is still floodgates trap card. And he indeed feels some interested one. Right now, they're three archetype he found fit for his new rank 4 focus deck. But two of them are incomplete.
"Sign, what a waste, Time Thief only have 3 deck monsters, 1 spell and trap, luckily Time Thief Redoer already exist, definitely max 3 in extra deck for sure." Even if he only uses one, he can still give the other two to Nistro and Dextra.
The second archetype is Gagaga. Yes, the same archetype uses by Yuma in anime, but this archetype only show it power when combine with Gogogo and Utopia which doesn't exist in this storage. And most importantly, there's only Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl appear in the whole storage! Not a trace of other Gagaga cards!
"Well, even if deck monsters aren't usable to me right now, Gagaga Cowboy is still a must add to extra deck." Burn for the win!
Ryuji shake his head as he looks at the last archetype he could find, 'Gadget'. Although he says it's an archetype, it only has 5 monsters, but for a floodgate focus deck, that's enough.
"But that's such a waste if I add all 5 of them in the deck, the red, yellow and green gadget price shouldn't be too high outside, so I can choose other cards and buy them later to complete the deck." As for now, he will only take the silver and gold gadget and add other rare card to make the deck first.
But why choose silver and gold you say? Because they look expensive af! "Okay, a floodgate deck with time thief and gadget engine it is, technically a machine deck. Not very strong and easy to brick, but to beating a minor villain it is enough. I will fix them later." He just wants to take as much good cards as possible to build more deck in the future, so he has to go with this scramble deck.
After decided which deck to build, Ryuji turn his attention towards the Extra Deck. He has 20 slots left to choose cards suitable for all 3 decks he has. Evolzar, Floodgate and Suship.
When searching through the database, Ryuji came upon a Machine Xyz Monster that make him nearly jumb in excited, but it quickly replaces with disappointed. "Cyber Dragon Nova? Great card, great design, but no great evolution. Where tf is my Infinity!? Without Infinity is this card even usable?"
Although he says that, Ryuji still honestly add the card to his list. "To make Infinity, we need Nova as material. I will take it just in case I have Infinity in the future."
As for the Xyz Monsters he choose.
- Gear Gigant X X2
- Heavy Armored Train Ironwolf X1
- Daigusto Emeral X3
- Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer X3
- Time Thief Redoer X3
- Gagaga Cowboy X3
- Photon Strike Bounzer X1
- Inzektor Exa-Beetle X1
- Inzektor Exa-Stag X1
- Shark Fortress X1 (use in Suship deck)
- Cyber Dragon Nova X1
Oh, you wonder which floodgate he adds to his deck? Don't worry, you will see soon enough.
"Good, enough cards to put in every deck I have." Ryuji then glance at the Number Hunter equipment Mr.Heartland has prepared for him: Photon Transformation, Photon Hand, Duel Gazer Tattoo and Duel Anchor.
Among them, only Photon Hand and Duel Anchor are truly useful to Ryuji, the former let him steal the opponent Number card and the latter force the opponent to duel him, which is something that can be done with Shadow Game, but because of Light of Corruption, Ryuji can't use any power related to Shadow Game.
He quickly put it all on, although it may not be useful for now, it still makes him look cool. Dr.Faker truly have a good taste in equipment design.

3rd POV:
At the training area, Dextra and Nistro were sitting near the door leading to the storage along with Riko, patiently waiting for Ryuji return.
Not far away from them, Kaito was talking to his brother, Hart Tenjo. But since the latter has lost his memories, only Kaito talk, trying to help Hart recall their past together. If it's anime world, Dextra would have noticed Kaito gentleness personality and fall for him.
But right now, she was extremely focus looking at the door, waiting for Ryuji.
At the other said of the room, Mr.Heartland stand before the three Number Hunters. "So, which one of you want to test the new member?" As his voice stop, all of them rise their hand.
Normally, the three of them won't pay attention to such trivial thing. But now they all have reason to, Captain Corn and Cologne want revenge again Ryuji for humiliate them while Thunder Spark want to see the strength of his new companion.
Captain Corn glare at them and bark. "Back off! I will personally deal with that brat!"
Cologne glare back at him. "Watch your tone you damn vegetable, that kid also humiliate me so I have no reason to give my chance to revenge to you."
Thunder Spark doesn't bother to argue with them, he silently looking at Mr.Heartland, waiting for his decision.
Mr.Heartland shake his head lightly, imply that he won't drag himself into their problem. Just like that, on his first day at the new company, Ryuji was being compete over by the three leaders.
Just as they were about to argue further, a voice cut off their argument. "How about let me choose instead?"
Everyone turns their head towards the source of the voice and see the young boy calmly walk through the door behind Dextra. Ryuji look at his friends with a smile. "Yo, you guys done with the training?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Dextra quickly launch herself into his arms. "What take you so long? We already done with the training long ago!"
"Heh, we barely part for an hour and you're already miss me?" Ryuji asks with teasing tone.
Dextra didn't say anything and bury her head in his chest. Ryuji take 8 cards from his pocket and show it to both Dextra and Nistro. "It takes me some time to choose suitable card for you guys, you know? Here, 1 copy for each of you."
There're 4 different monsters with each monster having 2 copies. Daigusto Emeral; Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer; Time Thief Redoer and Gagaga Cowboy. All of them are rank 4 with simple material and extremely useful in Dextra and Nistro deck.
The two kids quickly sit together, eagerly divide the spoils. Just as Ryuji was about to walk towards the Number Hunter group, he was pull directly into someone embrace. Just as he was about to push the person out, a mischief, seductive voice rang out beside his ear.
"You already give gifts to your little friends, then what about big sis?" Riko's warm breath continued to brush against Ryuji's ear, sending shivers through his entire body.
With a swift moment, Ryuji escape from her embrace, throw a card at her face before running off. His ear reddens slightly from embarrassed, Riko laugh out loud while looking at his escaping back.
She looks at the card he just throws at her. "Photon Strike Bounzer? He is really love negate, isn't he?" Her questions at first seem like she asking herself, but her eyes are locking at Dextra who was looking at her with emotionless.
Nistro doesn't dare to utter a word, fearing to get drag into the fight of two girls. 'Women are so scary!'
Mr.Heartland watch as Ryuji soon arrived before them, he pretends to not see what happens just now and point at the three Number Hunters behind him. "Since you want to decide opponent yourself, I will leave the decision to you."
The moment he hears Mr.Heartland words, Ryuji already grinning ear to ear, he locks eyes with the person he dislikes the most since coming to the base. "Then can I ask the great Captain Corn to be my opponent."
Although his words were polite, everyone present can still hear his provoking tone. Captain Corn grits his teeth and answer back with the same fake polite tone. "Haha, I'm always eager to help new member of our group, no need to be polite. You should keep it to beg me later."
Ryuji doesn't respond back and walk towards the duel field, before that he turns and nod towards Thunder Spark with his eyes imply 'We can have our duel another time. Right now, I have to beat the shit out of this mf.'
Thunder Spark give him a thumbs up. In the whole organization, there is not a single person doesn't like Captain Corn. Mainly because they refer a quiet environment and Captain Corn is loud and talk without restraint or respect again everyone except Dr.Faker.
At the duel field, Ryuji and Captain Corn take place at each side of the field. Outside, Ryuji friends, Number Hunters and even Kaito and Hart came to observe.
Ryuji: 4000 LP
"Duel!"
Captain Corn: 4000 LP
"Duel!"
"I will take the first turn, draw!" Captain Corn quickly draw a card out of his deck.
Ryuji look unbothered at his actions, the coin flip or any other methods to decide the first only apply to an official tournament, if it's a private duel or live and death duel, who will even care about such thing, the one get the first turn is the one with the faster mouth.
The same thing happened with limited cards, some card like Monster Reborn or Raigeki is limited in official tournament, but if it's a private duel, you can max 3 in your deck if you want to.
Captain Corn began making the first move. "I activate Graceful Charity to draw 3 cards; the I discard 2. Next, I activate Monster Reborn to Special Summon Cattycorn from my graveyard."
[Cattycorn, atk: 1500]
"If this card is Special Summoned while I control no card in my Field Zone: I can add 1 Field Spell from my Deck to my hand. I add Corn Parade to my hand."
Ryuji look at the monster in Captain Corn field with disdain because he never here of this archetype before. And every Yu-Gi-Oh fan know that in Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal, it either the archetype is powerful and famous or absolutely trash with no one remember it exists. Clearly, Captain Corn deck belongs to the latter.
Unaware of Ryuji thought, Captain Corn quickly put another monster on his duel disk. "Next, I normal summon Pappycorn in attack position."
[Pappycorn, atk: 1200]
Seeing he gathers 2 level 4 monsters on his field, Ryuji finally show a bit interested. 'Let see what kind of Number monster you have.'
"Hahaha, be grateful you manage to see my Number monster! Let the ship set sail and crush all of my opponent! I overlay both of my monster to Xyz Summon Number 50: Black Ship of Corn (manga version)"
[Number 50: Black Ship of Corn, atk: 2100]

The archetype appears in Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal is so bad I had to give them the best hand possible for them to has a good fight. You guys can think it like they didn't shuffle their deck or something. I just want to complaint a little.
