A group of staff cleared out a space, while a few others hurriedly called the president.
They didn't really know what was going on, but anyway, the two of them were dueling.
Originally, their plan was to arrange for other duelists in the company to duel with Tenjo Hikari. As long as the results of the duel weren't too outrageous, the matter would be settled.
But Dinosaur Lyuzaki was different!
Even though he wasn't particularly outstanding among the legendary duelists, he was still a "legendary duelist" in every sense. Back when their company was first developing, Dinosaur Lyuzaki was practically "invincible," and even against duelists who specifically targeted him, Dinosaur Lyuzaki could generally win.
It can be said that as long as the opponent wasn't cheating, Mr. Dinosaur was very stable.
Isn't a student dueling with such a duelist just too much?
"Bunch of worrywarts." Dinosaur Lyuzaki said half-slouched, hands in his pockets, looking disinterested. "A true duelist, when they become a duelist, there's no age difference anymore. As long as you're strong, even a beginner can beat a veteran."
His words were indeed very persuasive.
Back in Duel Kingdom, this Dinosaur Lyuzaki faced Jonouchi Katsuya, who was practically a novice, and was taught this lesson by his opponent's coin and dice.
"Kid, you go first." He took his hands out, glanced at the staff, and looked at Tenjo Hikari, saying.
"Oh ho. This legendary duelist is quite confident, huh?" Seeing a duel underway, Tierra appeared beside Tenjo Hikari, pondering a moment to offer advice, and laughed on the side.
Having studied dueling for so long, Tierra understood well that going first clearly held an advantage, and for Dinosaur Lyuzaki to give up the first move, unlike those in Duel Academy's Fusion Army who actively fought for it, either meant he looked down on Tenjo Hikari, or he was very confident in himself.
She was more or less hinting that Dinosaur Lyuzaki looked down on him.
Pure instigation.
Tenjo Hikari didn't talk to her, instead quickly revealing a monster: "I normal summon, Ancient Gear Hunting Hound!"
"Howl!"
The Mechanical Hound appeared on the field, letting out a roar.
Ancient Gear Hunting Hound, LV 3, Earth Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK 1000.
"When this card is summoned, deal 600 points of damage to the opponent."
The Mechanical Hound howled again, causing Dinosaur Lyuzaki a slight discomfort.
Dinosaur Lyuzaki LP: 4000 → 3400.
"Is it a Monster Card?" Dinosaur Lyuzaki looked at the monster on the field, contemplating, "So that monster?"
"Exactly! Just as you thought, Ancient Gear Hunting Hound's monster effect. Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can activate it. Use monsters in your hand and on your field as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon 1 'Ancient Gear' Fusion Monster!"
"The fusion condition is, two Ancient Gear Monsters!
I fuse the Ancient Gear Hunting Hound on the field with the Ancient Gear Knight in my hand, Fusion Summon—"
"Roar with fury, Ancient Gear Howitzer!"
Completely covered in barrels, the Mechanical Demon God thunderously descended from the sky.
Ancient Gear Howitzer, LV 8, Earth Attribute, Machine-Type, DEF 1800.
"This card's effect can be activated once per turn, during your Main Phase. Deal 1000 points of damage to the opponent!"
The Mechanical Demon God raised its cannon, accumulating energy towards Dinosaur Lyuzaki, and then explosively fired.
He stretched out his hand to block the energy impact, unaffected in the slightest.
Just from the momentum, he truly lived up to the name "legendary duelist."
Dinosaur Lyuzaki LP: 3400 → 2400.
"That's the end of the turn."
"Really? Not only summoned a Fusion Monster but also dealt 1600 points of damage to Mr. Dinosaur, more than a regular monster's direct attack!"
"Amazing, then if he triggers this monster's effect three times, won't he win?"
As the duel progressed, aside from the staff in charge of showing Tenjo Hikari around today, some ordinary and uninformed employees gathered, couldn't help but exclaim.
"Heh..." Listening to the surrounding discussions, Dinosaur Lyuzaki instead smiled.
For him, perhaps only in the dueling arena, dueling against others, could he feel less humiliated in life.
"A good first turn, causing damage and creating a shield, but if you think this can win easily, it's impossible." Dinosaur Lyuzaki casually remarked, then slowly drew a card from his deck.
"My turn."
"Activate Normal Spell Card, Graceful Charity."
Wow... Super Forbidden Card…
Tenjo Hikari raised an eyebrow.
Compared to Pot of Greed drawing two cards directly, this Graceful Charity allows drawing three cards but discarding two, at first glance hand size doesn't change, but actually conducts a three-card draw filter, and dumps two cards to the graveyard.
This thing, even in this world, Tenjo Hikari had only seen it in Professor Cronos's deck, truly a Super Rare Card.
"Draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards... I discard Two-Headed King Rex and Super Conductor Tyranno."
"Next, Normal Summon, Armored Lizard."
A rather classical monster appeared on his field.
Armored Lizard, LV 4, Earth Attribute, Reptile-Type, ATK 1500.
"An Normal Monster with only 1500 ATK?"
"Wow, that ATK can't even break through defense!"
"How can this be?"
Dinosaur Lyuzaki chuckled slightly, glanced at his hand. "A duel needs to have a beginning, middle, and end, only then it becomes interesting, arouses the audience cheering, and attracts more people."
"Activate Spell Card, Ultra Evolution Pill!"
"Tribute one Reptile-Type on your field, Special Summon one Dinosaur-Type monster from your hand!"
"I special summon from my hand, Super-Ancient Dinobeast."
It was a huge dinosaur with silver-blue fur, tiny wings on its back, and even able to spew lasers from its mouth.
Super-Ancient Dinobeast, LV 8, Earth Attribute, Dinosaur-Type, ATK 2700.
"!!"
"Wow, instantly summoned a powerful dinosaur with 2700 ATK!" someone excitedly remarked, just seeing the huge monster.
"Hey, why not keep the previous higher ATK Super Conductor Tyranno?" some wondered.
"It's not over! Activate Spell Card, Monster Reborn!" Dinosaur Lyuzaki didn't mind the astonishment of the surrounding audience, continued to activate the Spell Card, "Revive the Super Conductor Tyranno in the graveyard!"
"Fight for me, my dinosaurs!"
"Roar!!!"
Lightning flashed, its body covered by machinery, appearing mighty and terrifying, the gigantic fearsome mechanical dragon, accompanied by thunder, made a brilliant appearance.
Super Conductor Tyranno, LV 8, Light Attribute, Dinosaur-Type, ATK 3300!
"It's not over yet, the monster effect of Super-Ancient Dinobeast on the field. As long as this card is on the field, when a Dinosaur-Type Monster is Special Summoned from your graveyard, I can draw one card!"
"Draw card—hehehe," he smiled after looking at the drawn card, casually putting it away, then said, "Battle!"
