At this moment, Chief Takahashi's mind was in turmoil.
What's going on?
Why has my Tamashi betrayed me? What happened to the strongest bonds they promised?
It was the enthusiastic bystander Yugen who laughed and explained: "Teacher, don't worry, it's just the special effect of Nasadiya, temporarily borrowing your Tamashi for the duel. It'll be returned to you after the match."
Chief Takahashi: "..."
She certainly guessed it was due to some kind of Monster Effect. But his explanation felt a bit delicate, like a "I'll enjoy it and then return it to you" déjà vu...
"Ahem, sorry, Teacher. The follow-up ability of 'Electronic Angel - Nasadiya', when she is specially summoned through her own effect, she can also gain control of one of the opponent's monsters on the field."
"I see."
Chief Takahashi tried to remain calm.
But couldn't help glancing at the opposing field with the new Ritual Angel a couple of times.
Electronic Angel - Nasadiya...
How should I put it?
Can't say it's not powerful.
Just that the art style seems a bit different compared to my previous impressions...
"Then Nasadiya's first effect activates, once per turn you select a monster on your side, and gain Life Points equal to half of that monster's Attack Power."
Asuka said.
"I choose to gain control of the 'Electrified Ice Blade Hand'. And the teacher's Ice Blade Hand also has special effects..."
Chief Takahashi certainly remembered: "The Electrified Ice Blade Hand gains different effects based on the number of monsters on the opposing field. When there are two monsters present, her Attack Power doubles."
"Exactly." Asuka said, "Since there are two monsters on the teacher's field, Vajra Heaven and Ballet Skirt, Ice Blade Hand's Attack Power doubles!"
[Electrified Ice Blade Hand, Attack Power 2100→Attack Power 4200]
[Asuka, LP 4500→LP 6600]
The experts observing showed keen interest at this moment. It seems that witnessing drama and eating popcorn is everyone's deep-rooted common pursuit, Chief Takahashi's Tamashi being taken to heal the opponent certainly looks amusing.
Even more people started heckling.
"Oh oh oh, Life Points six-six-hundred! The Duel Academy girl is impressive!"
"The Chief's Ice Blade Hand is really useful."
Chief Takahashi: "..."
"Then it's the turn of the effect of 'Electronicized Ballet Practice Skirt' in my hand." Asuka showed another Monster Card from her hand, "This card can be specially summoned by using Warrior Race/Angel Race monsters in your hand or on your field as Ritual Sacrifice.
I offer the Angel Race 'Electronic Angel - Nasadiya' as a Ritual Sacrifice, to specially summon 'Electronicized Ballet Practice Skirt'!"
Nasadiya, which had just returned to the field, once again turned into golden light and dissipated, and the electronic dancer wearing a small ballet skirt jumped onto the field.
[Electronicized Ballet Practice Skirt, Attack Power 1800]
"Next, I will activate the Ritual Magic 'Mechanical Angel Ceremony' which was just retrieved to my hand via Vajra Heaven!" Asuka said, "This time, offering the 'Digitalized Angel - Vajra Heaven' and 'Electronicized Ballet Practice Skirt' on the field as Ritual Sacrifices.
Using the power of brilliance to illuminate the path ahead, Angel of Light, descend here—
—Level eight, Electronic Angel - Tujini!!!"
[Electronic Angel - Tujini, Attack Power 2700]
"Vajra Heaven's new effect, when this card is used as a sacrifice, all Ritual Monsters on the field gain 1000 Attack Power!"
[Electronic Angel - Tujini, Attack Power 2700→Attack Power 3700]
"Attack Power jumped to three thousand seven hundred..." Chief Takahashi said, "Indeed, a very powerful new effect."
"And the effect of 'Electronicized Ballet Practice Skirt', when Practice Skirt is used as a Ritual Sacrifice, the Ritual Magic Card from the graveyard is retrieved."
Asuka once again revealed the repeatedly recovered Magic Card from the graveyard.
"Ritual Magic 'Mechanical Angel Ceremony' is retrieved again."
"It can be retrieved again?" Chief Takahashi was surprised.
She already started feeling it. This newly strengthened Digital Angels seems to have achieved a considerable level of enhancement in operation and endurance compared to before.
"And then Tujini's effect." Asuka said, "Electronic Angel - Tujini, when Ritual Summon is successful, the opponent must choose one of their monsters on the field to send to the graveyard."
Of course, Chief Takahashi remembered this effect. She didn't hesitate too long and selected one of the remaining two monsters.
"I'll send 'Digitalized Angel - Vajra Heaven' to the grave."
Vajra Heaven on Chief Takahashi's field also turned into a cloud of golden light and disappeared, becoming invisible in the grave zone.
"Did not choose the lower attack Ballet Skirt..."
Asuka, who was equally familiar with the Electronicized card deck, quickly shifted her gaze to the opponent's back field.
She already roughly guessed what The Cover Card might be.
"Then I'll remove 'Digitalized Angel - Vajra Heaven' sent to the graveyard as a sacrifice from the game, and activate the effect of 'Electronic Angel - Nasadiya' in the graveyard again!
Nasadiya herself is specially summoned from the graveyard, and gains control of the teacher's 'Electronicized Ballet Skirt'!"
Chief Takahashi was even more surprised: "Can it be activated again? Isn't this move also without usage limit?"
"Yes, as long as Nasadiya exists in the graveyard, it can be activated unlimited times per turn." Asuka said, "Hence, gaining control of 'Electronicized Ballet Skirt'!"
Seeing her last monster about to be switched sides, Chief Takahashi quickly took action: "Activate Cover Card! Speed Attack Magic 'Heroine's Light'! Send the 'Electronicized Ballet Skirt' on the field to the graveyard, and Special Summon 'Electronicized Female Protagonist' from the hand!" (Original Card)
The whirlwind of magic erupted, and the delicate ballet skirt vanished in the storm of magic power, replaced by the mature and charming female protagonist.
However, it's in defense mode.
[Electronicized Female Protagonist, Defense Power 1600]
Meanwhile, Nasadiya had also once again bounced back to the field from the graveyard.
[Electronic Angel - Nasadiya, Attack Power 1000]
"With Nasadiya choosing the 'Electronicized Ballet Skirt' as its target, that card disappears, thus the effect of gaining control loses its target and becomes ineffective," Chief Takahashi said.
"Then, once again activate the effect of 'Electronic Angel - Nasadiya'. Once per turn, select one monster on your own field and gain life points equal to half of that monster's attack power."
Asuka said.
"Since Nasadiya returned from the graveyard, the effect count is reset. This time I choose 'Electronic Angel - Tujini'. Tujini's attack power is boosted to 3700 by Vajra Heaven, so I gain 1850 life points."
[Asuka, LP 6600→LP 8450]
"Eight thousand four hundred life points..."
Chief Takahashi's face was grave.
On the surface, she now only has the "Electronicized Female Protagonist" on the field. Next, if Asuka uses the NTR's Ice Blade Hand to defeat the female protagonist and then directly attacks with the strengthened Tujini and Nasadiya at 3700 attack power, it would be her victory.
But Chief Takahashi has a backup plan.
The other card discarded during the first turn with "Angel's Charity" is "Shield Warrior".
When Shield Warrior is in the graveyard, it can exile itself from the game to protect a monster on your field from battle destruction.
With the aid of Shield Warrior, the female protagonist can block two strikes. Thus, this turn, she will only take 1000 battle damage from Nasadiya.
There's still a chance for a comeback.
As long as she lasts until the next turn...
Asuka: "Activate Magic Card 'Great Compassion and Great Mercy Mechanical Angels'!"
Chief Takahashi: "!"
No attack?
"Great Compassion and Great Mercy Mechanical Angels allows you to use your hand cards and 'Digital Angels' ritual monsters on the field as sacrifices to draw two cards from the deck, then return one card from your hand to the bottom of the deck.
I use 'Electronic Angel - Nasadiya' as a sacrifice to draw from the deck!"
Nasadiya transformed into specks of golden light and dissipated as Asuka drew from the deck again.
Chief Takahashi's pupils shrank, feeling an intense premonition of disaster.
Not because the opponent drew cards from the deck again.
But because the Electronic Angel named Nasadiya... has returned to the graveyard!
Yet for this Electronic Angel, going to the graveyard doesn't equate to exiting the field. It's more like returning home to unleash its full potential.
Now she fully realized.
This is a card that can only exert its power in the Underworld!
"Speed Attack Magic 'Burial from Another Dimension', allows returning up to three monsters exiled from the game back to the graveyard," Asuka said, "Thus, I return 'Electronic Angel - Benten' and 'Digitalized Angel - Vajra Heaven' from exile to the graveyard!"
Chief Takahashi: "..."
She fully understood what was about to happen next.
But it was like the wheels of fate rolling over her, knowing she was utterly powerless to stop it.
The effect of 'Electronic Angel - Nasadiya' in the graveyard activates once more!" Asuka said, "Exile 'Electronic Angel - Benten' from the game, and perform a special summon.
And also, gain control of 'Electronicized Female Protagonist' on the teacher's field!"
[Electronic Angel - Nasadiya, Attack Power 1000]
Once again, bouncing back from the Underworld to the field, Nasadiya made a sweeping gesture, as if issuing an irresistible command.
You, come over here.
Then, the Electronicized Female Protagonist remaining on Chief Takahashi's field stood up, her eyes glowing with a red light that signaled a rebellious fall, obediently moving to Asuka's field.
Chief Takahashi: "......"
In the blink of an eye, Chief Takahashi's field was completely empty, while Asuka's field was packed with powerful monsters.
Indeed, half of them were maneuvered over from the other side.
One of them even included Chief Takahashi's Tamashi.
All traitors among us.JPG.
"Battle," Asuka said, "Electronic Angel - Tujini, direct attack!"
With attack power boosted to 3700, Tujini's strike forced the Chief's face to turn pale, staggering backward.
[Takahashi, LP 4000→LP 300]
"Finally, the teacher's 'Electrified Ice Blade Hand'," Asuka said, "Direct attack on the teacher."
Ice Blade Hand soared gracefully forward, spinning its body, and landed a strike on Chief Takahashi's face with a leg.
Chief Takahashi fell backward.
Suddenly, she felt exhausted.
