Chapter 6: Reward
[Yuna POV]
As Kaiba's life points dropped to zero, he collapsed onto his knees and dropped the cards in his hand. His face was full of shock and he couldn't accept his defeat.
I patted my chest and felt my thumping heart. My breathing was shaking as the adrenaline was still coursing through my body. That battle was unlike any duel I have ever played. Everything felt so real...
Was this what it feels like? To be a real duelist?
I watched as the virtual monsters slowly disappeared from the field and the device
automatically turned off. I was let down from the platform and was immediately confronted by a group of people.
"Sano-san!" I heard them calling my name.
When they got closer, my eyes widened, why were the main characters here?! I stared dumbfoundedly at Yugi and his friends as strange scenarios played in my head.
Oh god, I didn't do anything weird right?!
I definitely said some cringy things during that duel! Ah, what were those looks you're giving me?! Turn away don't stare!
Wahhh, my social life went down the drain right before my very eyes!
Oh, wait, that probably died long ago...
"I never knew you were so good at dueling Sano!" Joey praised.
"Yes, that's right! That's amazing!" Tea added.
Tristan: "You showed him (Kaiba) alright!"
"It was really an outstanding feat," Yugi said with a smile.
Ahh, all these praises feel so embarrassing! What were does looks, the smiles, they're too bright! My retina burn! So much positive energy was directed my way it's longer's biggest weakness!
I groaned and lower my head so I don't have to see their admiring gazes. I hurriedly barged past them and approached Grandpa Muto. If I stay with that group any longer I'm going to faint from their outgoing auras.
Without a word, he left with quick steps. Kaiba must have assumed that I would change my mind and take his Blue Eyes White Dragon so it's best to get his wives out of there. Well, I don't blame him as the BEWD seriously looked very tempting...
I read the card in my hand, it was a spell card, and the picture of the card showed an image of a woman as she holding a love heart in her hands. On one side, the woman has the appearance of an angel, while on the other was a demon.
[Name: Change of Heart:
Description: Select and control 1 opposing monster (regardless of position) until the end of your turn.]
My lips slowly formed a smile, another card that was deemed severely overpowered in modern times. This was definitely better than a dragon any day! Suddenly a bell noise rang inside my head and a display appeared before my eyes.
[Task (1) Complete!
Collect Reward?]
I happily accepted and watched eagerly as my credits when up from zero to six hundred. Grandpa Muto appeared beside me and huffed as he watched Kaiba leaving: "What card did he give you? Surely he gave you one of his Blue-Eyes White Dragon?"
I shook my head and showed him my new card. Seeing my reward, Grandpa Muto frowned: "That lying brat, does he have no shame?!"
Eh, what are you talking about? This was already as great as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, you
know?
"No... Better..." I tried to explain, and thankfully, he seemed to get my point.
"If you're satisfied, then I won't argue any further." Grandpa Muto sighed: "I still haven't
thanked you for what you've done. Next time you visit, you will definitely get some special
benefits."
My ears twitched, and I held my breath.
WOOOOHOOOO YESSSSSSSS.
That's what I'm talking about!!!
Luckily, I made sure not to let my smug face show and bowed. With all matters settled, I returned home thinking I would get some rest but oh boy how wrong I am.
