I'm a hidden boss in the duel city (yugioh fanfiction)

Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Duelist Kingdom Preliminaries (4)

     There was a lazy butterfly that promise that it wouldn't mess around the story. But with its existence, was enough to bring changes. He has indeed promised to don't mess around. But since it was lazy and willful, it fails on keeping its promises.

It fails time and time again.

This ignorant butterfly keeps flapping its wings around and causing chaos with its existence and attitude.

The butterfly never thought that participating in the National Duel Monsters Championship and being filmed live on television plus using a unique monster card would catch the attention of an organization.

An organization that specializes in collecting rare cards that had lately infiltrated the country of Japan. A rare card hunting organization founded by Marik Ishtar.

Other than sending out his subordinates to take the tripper mercury, it was also to observe the duelist kingdom and find clues on where did Pegasus bury the God Cards.

------------------------

    Tokio who was lazing on the shore of the duelist kingdom island, blinked when he noticed two people approaching him. Wearing his hat, he stared at the two people who were in a strange get-up through his sunglasses.

The two people were dressed in black robes. Staring at them, they appear to be high school students.

Remembering his classmates and Fumihito's assumption regarding Haruhi, then the two people in front of him must be a group of Chuunibyous!

Tokio's eyes lit up when he noticed the two of his gloves and each of them has two-star chips.

Looks like he doesn't need to find someone to duel later since they came here on their initiative.

[ Are you here to challenge me? ]

Tokio stare at their calm reaction when he communicated with them through his mind. They didn't appear to be surprised. They look so calm which was unusual. No fluctuations of emotions could be seen on their face, just absolute calmness.

[ Wait, I would just change my clothes for a second ]

The two Chuunibyou in black robes doesn't respond. They merely stared at Tokio and the latter sweatdropped when he noticed that they were still staring at him while he was changing his clothes. Tokio shivered and hurriedly change his clothes.

A few seconds later after he was back in his vagrant clothes– not the red version but in black clothes.

After changing his clothes, he started keeping his things inside his backpack and carried them.

[ Let's go to a duel arena ]

Tokio who was ready to walk again and find a duel arena was then interrupted by one of these mysterious and edgy duelists.

" There's no need. "

The one duelist who has dirty blond hair and tanned skin said. He looks like a foreigner. Tokio noted. After saying those words, Tokio suddenly felt a strange sensation.

[?!!! ]

There was dizziness for a moment. Tokio was forced to close his eyes. The moment that he opened his eyes, everything changed.

[..This!! ]

Tokio found himself standing on the platforms of the duel arena all of a sudden. Opposite of him was the two Chuunibyou duelists.

" We would play according to our rules. "

The other duelists who have red hair said to him emotionlessly. Tokio shivered as he realize that the two people in front of him are no ordinary people or normal Chuunibyou teenagers.

They were no longer in the duelist kingdom. Everything around their surroundings is covered in darkness.

These two people in front of him are impossible to be the player eliminators that Pegasus has hired. He knows the identities of those 3 player eliminators and none of them was identical to these people in front of him.

[ Who are you?! ]

" You don't need to know... "

" Just give your rare card to us. "

Both of the duelists said to him expressionlessly.

Tokio froze when he heard the mention of 'rare card' and finally notice that there was an eye symbol on the top of their black hood.

'No way... How could it be?'

It was too early for the rare card hunters to appear in the plot. What are they doing here in the duelist kingdom? What is their purpose?

Tokio look around him and sighed.

He was pulled into a shadow duel.

'Fuck, this thing came out of nowhere.  Why are rare hunters already in the duelist kingdom? They aren't supposed to be here.'

Staring at the two rare card hunters in front of him, Tokio felt angry but decided to calm down. But before he could compose himself, Tokio saw the two duelists take a move.

[ Hey, what are you doing?! ]

" We are now starting to duel. "

[ What about the rules?! ]

Tokio shouted hysterically.

" If you win the game, you could leave... "

" Defeat the two of us and you would win the duel.. "

" Lose and your cards would be ours and your life would be forfeit in this shadow game. "

[ Uh... Wait, wait, wait! You two would duel at the same time? ]

The two then stared at him.

" You get two turns and we get one turn each..."

" You have 3000 life points and the two of us combined have 4000 life points. "

[ What the hell?! It's unfair! No way, I would fight with that kind of rule! ]

" You have no choice but to accept our offer. "

" If you don't want to fight, we could just conclude that you lose and you lose your life. "

If Tokio could, he would kill them with his glare.

[... Fine, I would fight you. ]

" Then shall you go first? "

The Redhead Rare Card Hunter asked. Tokio then nodded his head.

[ Would it be fine if it wasn't shuffled? ]

The blond rare card hunter glanced at Tokio coldly.

" It already was. "

Tokio felt dubious about the words of the rare hunter. He then decided to ask the system.

' System.. Are the cards already shuffled? '

Tokio waited for a few seconds. But there was no response.

" What's wrong? Already chickening out? "

Tokio gulped. He never realise that the system couldn't reply to him until now. Even though this isn't his first experience with shadow games, this was the first time that it was the duel monsters where the effect of the shadow games is sure to be strongest.

Tokio then draws his 5 starting hand cards.

[ Final Flame/ Ruin, Queen of Oblivion / Hysteric Fairy / Trap Hole of Spikes / Witty Phantom ]

He would make sure to get out of here, alive!
