Because it was a very commonly used monster card in the outside world, and he had seen it several times, You Xuan was sure he wouldn't misidentify it. What appeared before him was indeed "Freed the Matchless General."

Or rather, it was that monster, yes, but its appearance was slightly different.

Although he still wore the armor depicted in the card art, he wasn't carrying a sword. Over his armor, he wore a white apron, and on his head, he sported a chef's hat, looking somewhat comical.

So, it seemed that besides being busy charging into enemy lines, the captain was also a hidden chef. You Xuan's expression was a bit odd; he vaguely felt like he had seen this look in some card art somewhere.

"..."

"I've already arranged for people to look for the companion you mentioned."

Following the captain to an encampment that looked like a gathering place for warriors, he enthusiastically invited You Xuan to sit down and brought him a bowl of hot soup.

"Here, try this," the captain said with a hearty laugh. "I usually dabble a bit in the art of cooking, and I'm somewhat confident in my skills.

This is a new dish I developed today. Everyone who has tried it so far has given it unanimous praise."

A passing warrior muttered under his breath, "Because those who didn't praise it are still lying down and can't speak..."

The captain turned around with a cold face, and the warrior quickly ran off.

You Xuan: "..."

Now he remembered. There was such a card, called "Well-Prepared Captain," and its card art depicted the captain cooking in a camp.

Theoretically, according to outside world time, it should still be the middle of the night. After all this commotion, he was also feeling a bit hungry. But whether elven food was compatible with human food was, after all, unverified, so out of caution, he politely declined for now.

"We gathered all the combat-capable elves in the nearby area to fight, but those evil god's subordinates were too strong. Our forces were repeatedly defeated, suffering heavy losses.

If not for the Brave One's timely arrival..."

He turned around solemnly, "On behalf of my rescued comrades and everyone in this camp, I must express our gratitude to you."

"No need, I was just passing by. And I don't plan to stay long," You Xuan said truthfully. "If you're hoping we can stay and help you resist the enemy, you might be disappointed."

"It's alright, we understand. The evil god's true form is in the world of duelists. If we don't deal with the true form, even if we defeat one Bone King, it will just support a new agent."

Speaking to this point, the captain suddenly looked serious.

"However, what I'm about to say next is the main thing."

He stood up, walked to a sealed box on one side of the camp, and unlocked it with great solemnity.

He looked like he was preparing to unlock "the best sword in the village," but when he opened the box and took out the item sealed within, equipping it on his hand, it turned out to be a peculiar kind of Duel Disk.

It was shaped like a sword, sheathed in a heavy scabbard. If carried on his back normally, it might look like a greatsword.

You Xuan couldn't help but imagine it. A swordsman roaming the martial world, seeing injustice, lets out a roar, swish, draws his sword—no, his Duel Disk—from his back, inserts his deck, and duels the opponent to the death...

Well, perhaps this was how things were in the elven world.

"I heard them say that the Brave One defeated that Bone King with ease, possessing rare and powerful strength."

The captain knelt on one knee, his face sincere.

"Please teach me the secrets of dueling!"

"It's because I am too weak, too incompetent, that so many comrades have fallen, so many comrades have left... I don't want to continue like this."

"I want to obtain the power to protect everyone, to protect our home!"

Coach, I want to learn how to play cards!

You Xuan: "..."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Well, it's true that I defeated the Bone King. But my dueling methods might be a bit different from yours."

Duelists in the outside anime world were already quite pure. But from his observation, elves seemed to play cards even more purely.

He had thought before, if an elf's deck was an extension of their very being, shouldn't their bond be maxed out, and their ability to top-deck be stronger than duelists?

But it seemed the reality was that those at the pinnacle of the Way of Cards were all duelists. And elves, rather than fighting personally, performed better as warriors under powerful duelists.

Actually, if one's top-decking skills weren't up to par, You Xuan felt he did have some ways to quickly improve at card games. But he was currently contemplating whether such methods would be considered heretical to the pure elves...

It seemed the captain misunderstood him.

He probably interpreted it as "power comes at a price"—which was often true. Many powerful cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world required strong souls to wield, and some cards that could grant duelists extraordinary destiny often had strong side effects.

A look of determination flashed across the captain's face, and he gritted his teeth, "It doesn't matter what happens to my body or mind!

As long as I can obtain the power to protect everyone, even if it means selling my soul to a demon—no, even if I have to become a demon myself, I will not hesitate!"

You Xuan: "No, that's not what I meant..."

He thought for a moment and stood up.

"Forget it, waiting is waiting anyway. If you really want to, then let's just have a duel, and I'll show you."

He had previously thought that duels in the elven world always had to be life-or-death, but later, enlightenment told him that wasn't the case. Duels between elves could determine life and death, or they could stop at a mere touch; it wasn't always necessary to go for the kill.

You Xuan thought this made sense too. If every card game had to be a fight to the death, wouldn't the first lesson for an elf learning to play cards be to defeat their master?

Thus, a short while later, the two arrived outside the camp, each taking their position and activating their Duel Disks. Nearby elves, hearing that their captain was going to duel the Brave One from another world, also hurriedly gathered to watch.

Alright then, today it's a duel with Freed the Matchless General himself.

You Xuan: "Spell Card 'Painful Choice', look at your opponent's hand and choose one card to return to their deck."

"..."

You Xuan: "Trap Card 'Raigeki Break', discard one card from your hand and destroy the first card you control on your field."

"..."

You Xuan: "Activate the effect of 'Puppet Plant' from my hand. Discard this card from my hand, choose one Warrior-type monster on your opponent's field, and gain control of it. I choose to gain control of the second 'you' on your field."

"..."

You Xuan: "'Freed the Matchless General', direct attack 'Freed the Matchless General'!"

"Freed the Matchless General," now on You Xuan's side of the field after being NTR'd, mercilessly flew up, its sword light flashing past, and swish, it brought its sword down on its counterpart's head.

However, You Xuan had him hold back at the last moment. The sword only grazed past the original's shoulder as a feint, and the blade clanged as it struck the ground, sending dazzling sparks flying.

[Freed the Matchless General, LP 0]

The captain, nearly killed by his own sword, looked up at the sky.

He began to ponder why elves lived, and why, after eating his fill, he had decided to play cards with a Brave One even more sinister than an evil god...
