Asuka: "Ugh aaah!"
As always, without any softness, Yugen came with full firepower from the Card Shooter. The doubled firepower from Restriction Removal poured over the girl without any hindrance, exploding in a cloud of black smoke.
[Asuka, LP 4000→LP 200]
The entire venue was instantly shocked.
Who is Tenjouin Asuka?
A super elite of the middle school department, directly advanced to Obelisk Blue since enrollment. Even putting aside her looks, she is considered by many to be a strong contender for the Rookie King this year just as a Duelist.
Everyone originally thought it would be a fierce battle, a thrilling contest between experts...
But in the first turn of the match, it looks like it's about to be over?
Senior Sister Hinoaka Seika, who had been expressionless and absent-minded outside the field since the last match ended, finally had some light return to her face.
No, to be precise, she seemed even a bit radiant, the gloom on her face was swept away, and there was a hint of a smile on her lips.
That's it!
Teach her a hard lesson! Just like how you wrecked me earlier!
The annoyance seemed to gradually fade away, and Senior Sister Seika's smile became more and more twisted.
"Uh... I was careless."
Asuka withstood the impact and took a long breath.
Enduring damage to exchange for a counterattack is indeed her usual tactic, but if she accidentally takes too much and ends her turn, it would turn into a joke.
A bizarre death of unprecedented scale, it might even be nailed to the school's pillar of shame and become a laughingstock...
Asuka shook her head, forcing herself to focus on the Duel.
"According to the effect of 'Double Samba Dance', my monster can counterattack.
Go, Electronicized Ballet Skirt's direct attack!"
The female electronic star jumped up, her body spinning like a ballet dancer, an elegant spin, a leg sweeping towards Yugen like a whirlwind.
[Yugen, LP 4000→LP 3000]
"The effect of the Equipment Magic 'Angel's Wings'! When dealing battle damage, an additional 300 points of battle damage is inflicted!"
[Yugen, LP 3000→LP 2700]
Yugen placed the Duel Disc in front of him to block the impact of the virtual image, his body swayed but he stood firm.
"Then cover three cards on the field, end the turn." Yugen said, "At the end of the turn, the side effect of 'Restriction Removal'. The Mechanical Race monster affected by this card's effect is destroyed at the end of the turn."
The Card Shooter exploded with a bang, turning into a pile of ashes.
"But the effect of 'Card Shooter', when this card is destroyed from the field and sent to the graveyard, draw one card from the Card Deck."
Yugen drew a card.
The surrounding crowd finally slightly relaxed their breaths.
"So intense right from the first turn..."
"Tenjouin's life points are like a candle in the wind now, it's very dangerous."
Yugen: "..."
For a moment he ignored the flickering candle bit. That kind of sealing life tactic is also a curse in the original work, generally whoever seals life first holds the advantage, but here it gave Asuka the chance to counterattack first.
Hmm, but it shouldn't be that metaphysical here... right?
"My turn, draw!"
Asuka steadied her mindset.
He actually saw through my tactic and hit hard against it... However, due to the side effect of Restriction Removal, there are no monsters on his field.
But his backfield covered cards...
"Hesitation is not an option." Asuka said with determined eyes, "I will, stick to my Duel!
Battle, use 'Electronicized Ballet Skirt' for a direct attack!"
As the electronic ballet skirt flipped and turned, the elegant figure leaped forward, a sweeping kick heading straight for them.
"Unexpectedly bold." Yugen squinted his eyes, "Then reveal the covered card, Trap Card - Dimension Wall!
When the opponent declares an attack, the damage from this battle... will be borne by the opponent!"
Crowd: "!!!"
"Revealing such a trap at this critical moment!?"
This trap undoubtedly directly rewrote the situation, the one to lose from this direct attack would be Asuka herself.
"There's always a trick up the sleeve..." Asuka quickly slotted a card into the hand, "Quick-Play Magic 'Heroine's Light'!" (Anime card)
She sent the "Electronicized Ballet Skirt" from the Duel Disc to the graveyard, quickly revealing another card from her hand.
"Heroine's Light, by sending 'Electronicized Ballet Skirt' from your field to the graveyard, Special Summon one 'Electronicized Female Protagonist' from the hand!
Therefore, I sacrifice 'Electronicized Ballet Skirt' on the field! Appear now—
—Level 6, Electronicized Female Protagonist!"
The star vanished from the field, the dispersed points of light formed a swirling vortex. A beam of light shot to the sky, and the curvaceous silver-haired female star appeared spinning.
[Electronicized Female Protagonist, Attack Power 2300]
"Amazing!" said Nakamura from the Student Union, unable to hold back, "Because the attacking monster disappeared from the field, this battle naturally doesn't count, and no battle damage will be inflicted!"
"And also, because it was Special Summoned during the battle phase, the Electronicized Female Protagonist can still attack!" said another student next to him, "If this attack goes through, a massive damage will be inflicted at once..."
Even Asuka couldn't help but smile proudly: "I'm not that easy... eh?"
She raised an eyebrow and noticed another cover card that Yugen had already revealed in his backfield.
Yugen calmly pointed at that card: "Quick-Play Magic - Moon Book, turn 'Electronicized Female Protagonist' into face-down Defense Position."
Asuka: "..."
Onlooking crowd: "..."
The big monster that just landed fell directly over beneath the new moon's magic power, turning into a face-down cover card.
Little Hinoaka Seika: "Hahaha! Just like that! Cover! All can be covered!"
She seemed as happy now as she was frustrated previously, it looked like Senior Sister was the happiest in the entire venue.
"...The other effect of the Equipment Magic 'Angel's Wings.'" Asuka took a deep breath, "When this card is sent from the field to the graveyard, draw one card from the Card Deck.
Then cover two cards, end the turn."
Yugen: "My turn, draw.
I activate from the hand Continuous Magic 'Interdimensional Storage'!" (Anime card)
The Magic Card appeared, and three cards automatically popped out from his Card Deck. Yugen drew the three cards, showing them to his opponent one by one.
"When 'Interdimensional Storage' is activated, you can choose three Alliance Monsters of level four or below from your Card Deck to banish from the game.
I banish from my Card Deck 'Y-Head', 'Z-Metal Track', and 'W-Propelled Flying Wings'!"
He raised his arm and released his grip, the three cards respectively transformed into the images of a red metal dragon, a tank-like metal track and a blue combat flying wings, being absorbed into the black vortex overhead his field.
"It's actually VWXYZ..." Asuka's expression turned somewhat serious.
The audience outside also stirred: "The Rare Card used by the legendary Seto Kaiba..."
"Then Normal Summon 'X-Leader Cannon'!"
[X-Leader Cannon, Attack Power 1800]
"At this moment, another effect of 'Interdimensional Storage' is activated." Yugen said, "When a monster is summoned, Special Summoned on your field, if the name of the Alliance Monster from the effect of Storage holds the name of that monster, then you can Special Summon the corresponding Alliance Monsters from the Banished Zone!"
Yugen straightforwardly revealed the two previously banished cards.
"'Y-Head' and 'Z-Metal Track' both contain the name of 'X-Leader Cannon' on them, so simultaneously Special Summon those two cards!"
The dark vortex of the Banished Zone unfolded once again, like two golden lightning bolts striking from the Black Hole, the red Head and the heavy Track respectively landed on his field.
[Y-Head, Attack Power 1500]
[Z-Metal Track, Attack Power 1500]
"The monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot be sacrificed and cannot attack." Yugen waved his hand, "However, I use 'X-Leader Cannon', 'Y-Head', and 'Z-Metal Track' on the field to combine into a transformation!"
The three machines began to transform separately, emitting electric currents to attract one another, undergoing a transformation assembly, soon stacked together like a tower of machines, forming a majestic heavy-duty combined Mecha!
X-Leader Cannon made the head, Metal Track the base, and Y-Head protruded from the under part...(cross out)
"XYZ Divine Dragon Cannon, Fusion Summon!"
[XYZ Divine Dragon Cannon, Attack Power 2800]
