When Yugen finally arrived at the small club facing the fate of being disbanded, his expression was somewhat strange.
This club, to put it simply, is commonly known as the "Sister Card Research Association."
A club dedicated to researching those coolly dressed, cute, and lovely elf character cards.
However, Yugen's first reaction upon learning this was, why would such a good club be disbanded?
Logically, he thought this research direction was quite promising. As everyone knows, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! series, only the truths of mechas, dragons, and women are eternal, and these three elements can be freely combined to create new series that sell well and perform great.
So after a bit of thinking, Yugen felt that the main problem for this department was probably that it was born too early and at the wrong time. He first thought of particularly powerful sister cards, which seem to be quite advanced future cards, and in that sense, sister card elements in early Yu-Gi-Oh! were indeed not as popular as dragons.
But no matter what, being disbanded had already been decided.
When Yugen, as the executor of the Student Council, arrived at the activity room, the entire department was on guard as if facing a great enemy.
Since enrolling, Yugen had participated in several public duels, especially the last duel against the Maze Brothers, which stirred a commotion in the academy due to its "legendary duelist hype." Now, almost no one failed to recognize him.
So, upon seeing that the representative from the Student Council was actually him, the members of the research department were shocked to the core.
They immediately felt a chill down their spines.
The president of the research department, Koichi Shimizu, solemnly put on the Duel Disc and walked out of the activity room, ready to battle.
"President!" a member couldn't help but call out, "You have no obligation to face such an opponent!"
But President Shimizu paused his steps, turned his head, and smiled leisurely at the members.
"I will fight for all that I love," he said proudly, facing the light, "Even if I face endless doom today, I must stand my ground. Never forget, everyone, our passionate love for beautiful elf maidens!"
"President!" The members were extremely moved.
"I will never forget you!"
"Just go forth without worry!"
Yugen: "..."
It's not just a card game with me, is it really necessary?
Looking at this scene, anyone who didn't know might think it's a Dark Duel...
"Bring it on!"
President Shimizu stepped forward and unfolded the Duel Disc.
"Let the Student Council see our resolve to protect our beloved elf maidens!"
Yugen also unfolded his Duel Disc, but his expression was complex.
This awful script, anyone who didn't know might think I'm some villain here to take their wives...
"Duel!" x2
[Yugen, LP 4000]
[President Shimizu, LP 4000]
"I have the first move, draw!" President Shimizu said, "I place one monster facedown, then set one card, and end my turn!"
"Then it's my turn, draw." Yugen said, "Activate the Magic Card 'Angel's Charity,' draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from my hand."
Two cards slid into the Graveyard from the Duel Disc. He then played four cards from his hand in one go.
"Set one monster in the front field, set three cards in the back, and end my turn."
President Shimizu frowned slightly. Despite going second, he didn't launch an offense but instead set up a defensive line.
Is it truly the rumored strategy focused on traps?
But it doesn't matter.
It's just a few traps, let's see how he uses passionate love and enthusiasm for the club to crush them!
"My turn, draw!" President Shimizu shouted, "Activate Speed Attack Magic 'Tornado,' to destroy the central set card in your back field!"
"Then I chain and activate this set card." Yugen activated the back field, "Speed Attack Magic - Scapegoat.
Special Summon four 'Sheep Derivatives' to my field!"
[Sheep Derivative, Defense Power 0] x4
"A magic to consolidate the defensive line."
Summoning four Sheep Derivatives at once, creating such a defensive line isn't easy to break through.
President Shimizu: "Then first flipping the set monster, 'Demon Tamer' to summon!"
Appearing on the field was a lovely woman with cascading blue hair, a slim waist, long legs, wearing a crop-top outfit with long boots, holding a suggestive whip in hand, its purpose unknown...
[Demon Tamer, Attack Power 800]
Indeed, as expected of the president of the Sister Card Research Association. He certainly has good taste in choosing monsters...
But then President Shimizu immediately pulled out another card from his hand.
"Activate Magic Card 'Upgrade Transformation,' send your monster on the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon a monster with the same race and attribute, with a level one star higher from the deck!
Therefore, I send the Earth Attribute, Warrior Race, Level 3 'Demon Tamer' to the Graveyard and Special Summon from the deck this card..."
President Shimizu placed the Warrior he'd searched from the deck.
"Jela's Warriors!"
[Jela's Warriors, Attack Power 1600]
Yugen: "..."
No, where's your passionate love for the cute monster girls?
Why did you sacrifice it so quickly to become a big burly dark man?
Seeing what he was thinking, President Shimizu boldly puffed out his chest.
"To protect the domain of the cute maidens, even borrowing other powers is a must." The president declared righteously, "The bond between us and the elf maidens won't be easily severed by such trivial matters!"
Yugen nodded to show he understood.
Hmm, with such convenient bonds, no wonder you're facing disbandment...
"Activate the Field Spell 'Celestial Sanctuary'!"
The Magic Card was placed into the field area, and the surroundings changed dramatically. A Divine Hall shrouded in holy light appeared among the clouds, with the sanctuary of angels ruling over it all.
"Now, the field of our duel is dominated by the domain of the holy angels!"
President Shimizu continued as he drew another card from his hand.
"Next, I offer 'Jela's Warriors' on the field as a sacrifice!
The holy warrior arrives at the Celestial Sanctuary, transforming back in the form of a great angel -
-- Great Angel Jelart, Summon!!!"
Blinding holy light descended in the sanctuary, enveloping the green-armored warrior. In the radiance, the warrior evolved, spreading shimmering light wings, descending with a swinging sword!
[Great Angel Jelart, Attack Power 2800]
"Great Angel Jelart cannot be Normally Summoned. But when 'Celestial Sanctuary' exists on the field, it can be Special Summoned by offering 'Jela's Warriors' on your field as a sacrifice."
President Shimizu declared.
"And it also hides a stronger special effect!
By discarding a Light Attribute monster from the hand to the Graveyard, destroy all monsters on the opponent's field!"
Members of the Sister Card Research Association started shouting in encouragement.
"As expected from the president! Summoning the most powerful trump card in one go!"
"Attack all at once, let him see our obsession with elf maidens!"
Yugen: "..."
Even with what you said, your president's ace is still a big burly man...
"Activate the effect of 'Great Angel Jelart'! I will discard the Light Attribute 'White Mage - Rong Er' from my hand to the Graveyard, destroying all monsters on your field!"
During his light-hearted joke, another sister card was mercilessly discarded as cost, and this time it was a mage loli.
The Great Angel spread its wings, swung its blade, and a domineering storm bombarded Yugen's field. Meanwhile, President Shimizu's series of operations continued.
"It's not over yet, at this moment..."
President Shimizu pressed a button on the Duel Disc, and a card from his back field stood up.
"Trap Card 'Judgmental Balance'!
Can only be used when the opponent's cards on the field outnumber the combined total of your hand and field cards, allowing you to draw from the deck equal to the difference!"
He pointed to Yugen's field.
"I activate it in chain to my 'Great Angel Jelart''s effect, even though my hand cost has been discarded, the destructive effect of the Great Angel hasn't resolved yet.
Now you have five monsters and two set cards on the field, a total of seven cards. But I only have 'Great Angel Jelart,' 'Judgmental Balance,' and 'Celestial Sanctuary,' a total of three cards.
Therefore, I draw from the deck the difference..."
He swiftly drew cards from the deck.
"Draw four cards!"
