Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Unexpected Win

       Within the Kame Game Shop, Yugi and the others were watching the National Duel Monsters Championship live on the television.

" Welcome every duel monster fan in the country! At long last, the grand competition of the National Duel Monsters would take place! "

On the television, the host started announcing his introduction.

" Who would rise through the nationwide competition? Who would take the title of the National Duel Monsters Champion?! Now here is our duel for the final 3! "

The host declared dramatically. Pointing his hands to one of the duel platforms, he started speaking again while holding his microphone.

" Here are our first contestants for our first duel! East Japan Representative, Duelist Insector Haga! Age 14.  "

Weevil's Underwood faces were shot by the camera while he was still on the dueling platform.

" Our other duelist, Also an East Japan Representative, the Silent and Mysterious Duelist Akai Konami, 15 years old! "

The mysterious red cap was captured live on the television but his face wasn't still seen clearly because of the hat blocking it.

While they were watching on the Kame Game Shop, Joey raised his fist and exclaimed.

" Akai! Just you wait, I have trained and I would beat you once we meet again!  "

For the past weeks after Joey was defeated by Tokio since returning, he has once started his training under Yugi's Grandpa Soguroku and started taking the duel monsters more seriously.

Unconsciously while watching the tournament on the television, he took out the 3 cards that were given to him by Tokio.

It was given to him for reasons unknown to Joey. He didn't know why he have given these cards to him but they must have a purpose!

Honda then teased Joey.

" Once you meet him again, are you sure that you wouldn't get beaten up again? "

" I have gotten better! "

Joey retorted loudly. Before the two escalate to a friendly fight, Anzu decided to interrupt them.

" Be quiet! It's starting! "

Joey and Honda immediately took their seats and started watching the tournament. Joey then glances at Yugi to ask about his opinion.

" Yugi, who do you think would win? "

In Joey's opinion, since Tokio has beaten him, he was stronger than that person called Insector Haga.

Yugi then thought replied but it wasn't an answer to Joey's question.

" Insector Haga is good at using insect-type cards with his Armor Cards in a combo attack. "

Yugi then paused for a moment before continuing.

" As for Akai Konami, his monsters are filled with different types of monsters that have no small amount of attack points. Some of his cards have effects that help him win his duel. He has also trap cards prepared for his opponent. Akai-san also has to burn effect spell cards on his deck. And most of all, he loves using a pot of greed. "

Joey frowned as he listened to Yugi. What does a pot of greed have to do with who would win the duel?

" Yugi did you forget his Ace Card? That Tripper Mercury has 2000 attack points and can attack twice! "

Yugi then smiled slightly.

" So you have been also watching the national duel monsters since the start of this week Jonouchi-kun? "

Joey averted his gaze while Anzu look amused while Honda started snickering.

" Grandpa has taught me that I need to learn about my opponents so that I could think of what plan would I have to defeat them! It wasn't all about just the heart of the cards! There are other things that I need to learn about duel monsters! "

The others smiled when they heard Joey say those words. Yugi then asked a question.

" So, who do you think would win Jonouchi-kun? "

" I have asked you that question Yugi, why don't you answer my question first?.. "

Joey then paused and stared at the two duelists on the television. He then started muttering.

" If Akai would win. Then if I challenged and defeated him, does that makes me stronger than the Champion? ... Okay! ... I hope that Akai would win the duel! "

Joey then heard a suspicious sound, he stared at Yugi who have started chuckling along with Anzu and Honda. He was staring at Yugi as if Yugi have betrayed him.

" It wasn't uncertain who would win or who would lose in this duel. We must watch the duel and learn more about Akai so you can defeat him Jonouchi-kun right? "

Joey stared at Yugi and he can't help but feel a little annoyed. Since when did he start to become cheeky? Anyway, staring at Yugi, Joey notices that Yugi has gotten taller. Yugi was blessed to have his growth spurt happening.

Joey then turned and think of Miho who wasn't with them here today, she was quite busy in their classes and regarding her club activities recently. She apologize for not being able to frequently interact with them like she used to be.

While Joey was engrossed in his thoughts, he suddenly heard the surprise exclamations of his friends as well as the host of the National Duel Monsters competition on the television.

" What is going on?! "

Joey asked as he stared at his friends. He then stared at the television and was surprised by what he found but he was also confused.

Akai Konami placed all of his 40 cards deck on the duel monsters card scanner.

" Yugi, why are they aren't still starting to duel? And what is Akai is doing? Is he an idiot for not placing the deck to the side? "

" No, Jonouchi-kun.. "

Yugi shook his head and replied to him. Like Joey, he was also confused.

" Placing all of your decks meant, that Akai Konami surrendered the game. "

" What?! Why? "

Joey glared at the television.

" What the hell is he thinking? "

" That is what I wanted to know.. "

Yugi faintly muttered. They watched on the television as the atmosphere in the audience became chaotic. There were a lot of Boos when Tokio left the duel arena under the anger and scornful crowd. On the other hand, even though Weevil Underwood won the duel instantly, he wasn't satisfied with this duel.

What he wanted wasn't this kind of duel! He wanted to savor the experience of crushing his opponents!
