Yu-Gi-Oh! Fourseasons

"Teacher Ling Shou, where should we look for You Dong and the others?" Yu Yuan asked.

Feng Yuan smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, they should be there."

Shu Yu asked, "Where? And how did you know?"

Feng Yuan smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when you come with me. As for how I know it, you'd better not know."

……

You Dong is here.

"Teacher Guihai, why is yours still '1'?" You Dong asked, looking at Guihai who was fiddling with the device.

Gui Hai ignored him and continued to work diligently.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

You Dong walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

A slightly familiar middle-aged woman's voice came from the doorway: "Your takeout is here!"

You Dong turned around and asked, "Did any of you order takeout?"

Everyone else was confused.

You Dong knew the visitor meant trouble, so he unfolded the duel disk and suddenly flung open the door!

"Shh!"

A fist hurtled toward You Dong, but stopped abruptly just before it got close, flicking You Dong away!

You Yue laughed and said, "Hey bro, were you scared?"

You Dong glanced at the door, his lips twitched, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ling Shou raised his hands and said, "They were the ones who insisted on coming! It has nothing to do with me; I was just responsible for bringing them here!"

Youqiu walked over and said, "We're about to go challenge the gym, you're late."

"Dojo? What dojo?" You Yue asked.

Before Youqiu could explain, Fengyuan preemptively said, "The dojo is..."

After saying all that, Caiqian looked at Fengyuan and asked, "Fengyuan, this shouldn't be your first time here, right?"

Feng Yuan paused for a moment, then laughed awkwardly, "You definitely have to do your homework before coming to such a dangerous place. Haha, haha."

Yu Yuan muttered to himself, "Would there really be any records to check in a place like this?"

Shu Yu joked, "Have you ever heard of the dark web?"

Yu Yuan replied, "I've only ever heard that my wallet is flat."

"It's done!" Gui Hai suddenly shouted, startling the others. "After my improvements, this device has no side effects! Now we can fight in Sin City without worry! What do you think? Am I smart? Am I amazing? Am I a genius?"

Ling Shou smiled and said, "Xiao Hai is great."

Gui Hai finally realized, "Why is Brother Ling Shou here? Hey, wait a minute, why are you guys here too?"

Everyone:...

Youqiu touched his forehead and said, "Never mind. We'll split up and go challenge the gyms first. You guys wait here. After we're done, we'll all go to the Palace of Sin together."

You Dong grabbed You Xia and shouted, "You Xia and I are in the same group."

Long Dou leaned closer to You Chun and said, "I'm in a group with my nemesis."

You Chun was somewhat disgusted and lightly kicked Long Dou.

Gu Jun said, "Then the last two dojos will be one for me and one for Sister You Qiu each."

You Qiu nodded, indicating his agreement to the allocation.

Then, the group set off.

……

On his way to the dojo, Youqiu was approached by a golden D-wheel.

"Miss Yuqiu, are you going to challenge the gym?" Huiyue asked with a smile.

You Qiu glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Huiyue's smile remained unchanged: "Miss Youqiu's personality makes it very difficult for her to get married."

You Qiu twisted the D-wheel handle, speeding up, wanting to shake off this glib and annoying fellow.

Seeing Youqiu speed up, Huiyue also sped up, and the two seemed to be racing.

……

Upon arriving at the dojo entrance, Huiyue continued to follow Youqiu.

"Do you have some serious illness?" You Qiu turned around and called out to Hui Yue.

Huiyue slowly approached and said, "Miss Youqiu, as I've said before, if I want to pursue you, of course we need to start by being friends. It's not strange for friends to follow each other, is it?"

Huiyue wanted to go a little further forward, but suddenly felt something pressing against her abdomen. Looking down, she saw it was Youqiu's knife.

You Qiu said coldly, "Don't follow me, go and do your own thing."

Huiyue walked into the gym: "Alright, I'm going to challenge the gym now."

Youqiu suddenly stopped Huiyue and said, "The dojo can only accept one group of challenges per day. What are you trying to do?"

Huiyue smiled and said, "Now you have two choices—first, come back tomorrow; second, come with me."

You Qiu held the knife to Hui Yue's neck and said, "Then I'll trouble you to come again tomorrow."

Huiyue smiled enigmatically: "Even if I give up today, you won't have a chance. I've already spoken to the person in charge here; they won't accept challenges from anyone other than me, unless it's someone in my group."

You Qiu reluctantly put away the knife and said fiercely, "Don't let me find out you're playing me!"

The two entered a room in the dojo, where the person in charge was drinking tea.

"It seems our challenger has arrived today." As he spoke, the person in charge lit a few sticks of incense.

You Qiu said, "Enough with the nonsense, let's start the challenge!"

The person in charge smiled meaningfully: "The challenge began the moment you entered this room."

The two suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed.

……

On Huiyue's side.

Huiyue looked around; all she saw was blank space.

In this blank space, an indistinct black figure stands out.

The figure unfolded the Duel Disk and slowly approached the Radiant Moon.

Huiyue revealed a peculiar smile and muttered to herself, "This challenge method is truly unique. It seems to have been designed by the King of Sin... He's quite the genius!"

As she spoke, Huiyue unfolded her Duel Disk and charged forward!

"Duel!" x2

The figure said, "First strike is mine. My turn."

"I activate the Spell Card [Ice Barrier Tri-Square] from my hand, reveal [Ice Barrier Illusion], [Ice Barrier Frost Spirit], and [Ice Barrier Tiger General Wayne], and Special Summon [Ice Barrier Frost Spirit] (Defense Position)."

"[Moon Knight] Attack directly!"

"A flash slash!"

The human figure basically disappeared and gradually vanished.

Huiyue felt a dizzying sensation, and when she opened her eyes again, she was back at the dojo.

The person in charge took a sip of tea and smiled, "I knew the master would have no problem."

Huiyue smiled, then looked at Youqiu, who was still unconscious, and muttered to herself, "The power of the gods will soon be mine..."
