Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

After walking out the door, Lin Xue was still immersed in the victory she had just achieved.

She said to Lin's mother, "Mom, I've finished my homework. I'm going back first."

There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her voice, as if she had just experienced a fierce battle.

Seeing this, Lin's mother nodded and said, "Okay, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Lin's mother's voice was gentle and concerned, which made Lin Xue feel warm in her heart.

Lin Xue said listlessly: "No, I'm not hungry."

Then he returned to his room.

She was feeling a little down, not knowing how to face her unfinished homework.

Sitting at the desk, Lin Xue recalled the duel just now. She felt as if she had opened a door and was even more eager for the duel.

The fierce battle scene, the tense decision-making process, and the joyful moment of victory are all unforgettable for her.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly remembered, "Oh, I haven't finished my homework yet..."

Lin Xue's face showed a trace of panic and helplessness. She looked at the homework book in front of her, her heart filled with regret.

She knew that she had to finish her homework as soon as possible, otherwise she would definitely be criticized by the teacher tomorrow.

So, Lin Xue took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and began to do her homework seriously.

……

At night, the quiet moonlight shines through the window into Lin Hao's dormitory, covering the entire room with a layer of soft silver gauze.

Liu Feng sat on his bed, looking at Lin Hao with admiration, and said, "Haozi, you are so amazing. You actually made it into the top eight of our school. You know, this is not something that ordinary people can do. You are simply my idol."

There was a gleam of excitement in Liu Feng's eyes, as if Lin Hao's achievement also made him feel extremely proud.

Lin Hao shook his head slightly and said modestly: "It's okay, just luck. I just played at my normal level in the duel, and I didn't expect to get to this point." Lin Hao's tone was calm and composed, as if entering the quarterfinals was not a big deal.

Hu Xiaojun also came over and said with anticipation in his eyes: "Haozi, you have to work hard tomorrow. I heard that if you make it to the top four, you will get a reward from the school. The reward must be very generous. It would be great if you can get it." There was a hint of excitement in Hu Xiaojun's voice, as if he had already seen the scene of Lin Hao receiving the reward.

Lin Hao nodded and said firmly: "No problem, I will definitely try my best. I will fight every duel as if it were my last and strive to perform at my best." Lin Hao's eyes revealed confidence and determination, making people believe that he will work hard for his goal.

Zhou Siqiang sat aside and said with admiration in his eyes: "Haozi, you are the most inspiring duelist I have ever seen. You don't have the superior family conditions of those rich second generations, but you have risen step by step with your own efforts and strength. You will definitely not lose to those rich second generations who have many powerful cards because of their excellent family conditions." Zhou Siqiang's words were full of praise and encouragement for Lin Hao.

Liu Feng also nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course. After all, our Haozi has risen step by step. His strength is real and is not inferior to others at all. Although those rich second generations have good cards, they may not have your skills and strategies, Haozi." Liu Feng's tone was full of confidence in Lin Hao.

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Okay, no need to cheer me on like this, I will work hard tomorrow. I know that my strength still has many shortcomings, and I will continue to learn and improve in the next duels." Lin Hao's smile was warm and sincere, making people feel his humility and hard work.

Hu Xiaojun said: "Haozi, you treated us to dinner last time, and this time we will treat you. Let's just consider it a celebration of your advancement into the quarterfinals. You can't refuse, this is a kind gesture from us." Hu Xiaojun's eyes were full of anticipation, hoping that Lin Hao would accept their invitation.

Liu Feng said: "Yeah, it's just a midnight snack. We can relax together and cheer you up for your duel tomorrow." Liu Feng showed a bright smile on his face.

Zhou Siqiang also said, "Let's go. If it's too late, the dormitory door will be closed." There was a hint of anxiety in Zhou Siqiang's tone, as if he was worried about missing this opportunity.

Unable to refuse their kindness, Lin Hao had no choice but to follow them. He was deeply moved, knowing that his friends were truly happy for him and were cheering him on.

In this duel world full of challenges and competition, there is a group of four people walking out of the dormitory together, and the campus at night seems particularly quiet.

The breeze blew gently, and the leaves rustled, as if playing a soft melody for their journey.

As they walked, they talked about the school's duel competition, full of anticipation for the upcoming schedule. Liu Feng said excitedly, "Haozi, as long as you win another duel tomorrow, you'll be directly admitted to the selection process. How awesome would that be! Our dormitory will be famous then."

Hu Xiaojun also smiled and agreed: "Yeah, maybe it can attract the attention of many girls."

Lin Hao smiled helplessly and said, "Don't think too much. The opponents in the competition are very strong. I can't guarantee that I can go that far."

Zhou Siqiang patted Lin Hao on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Don't be so unconfident. You've already made it to the quarterfinals. It's not impossible for you to go further."

After a while, they arrived at the snack street near the school.

The snack street is bustling at night, and the aroma of various delicacies fills the air.

They found a barbecue stall, sat down, and ordered some skewers and drinks.

Hu Xiaojun raised a drink and said, "Come on, let's toast to Haozi for making it to the quarterfinals! I hope he can keep working hard and achieve better results tomorrow."

Everyone raised their glasses, and the crisp sound of clinking glasses echoed in the night sky.

They ate skewers and shared interesting stories from their lives.

Liu Feng talked about his recent funny experience in class, which made everyone laugh.

Hu Xiaojun talked about a wonderful movie he had watched recently, which aroused everyone's interest.

Zhou Siqiang also shared his plans for the future, hoping to make greater progress in both academics and duels.

Lin Hao listened quietly to his friends' stories, his heart filled with warmth.

He knew that no matter what the outcome of the game was, he had these good friends by his side supporting him.

After finishing their midnight snack, they walked back to the dormitory with satisfaction. The night air was particularly fresh, making people feel relaxed.

Liu Feng said with emotion: "I am so happy today. I hope we can get together like this often in the future."

Hu Xiaojun nodded and said, "That's right, no matter what the result of Haozi's game is, we will always be good brothers."

Zhou Siqiang also said: "Yes, we work hard together and grow together."

Lin Hao looked at his friends around him, his heart filled with emotion.

He secretly made up his mind to give his all in tomorrow's game and live up to his friends' expectations.

After returning to the dormitory, everyone was a little tired. After washing up, they returned to their beds.

Lin Hao lay on the bed, thinking about today's experience, his heart full of emotion.

He knew that his road to duel was still long, but with the company and support of his friends, he was full of confidence.

He closed his eyes, looking forward to tomorrow's game, hoping it would bring more surprises to himself and his friends. Supporting his friends made him feel extremely warm and happy.
