Asuka: "Argh!"
As usual, You Xuan showed absolutely no mercy or gallantry. He immediately unleashed the full firepower of his Card Blaster. The doubled attack power from Limiter Removal poured over the young girl without any obstruction, exploding in a burst of black smoke.
[Asuka, LP 4000 → LP 200]
The entire arena was instantly shocked.
Who was Asuka Tenjoin?
A super elite from the middle school, she had been directly admitted into Obelisk Blue since enrollment. Even setting aside her appearance, as a duelist alone, many considered her a strong contender for this year's freshman king.
Everyone had initially expected a fierce dragon-tiger battle, an intense clash of offense and defense between experts, a truly exhilarating match…
Yet, it seemed to be over after the very first turn?
Kohinata Seika, who had been sitting outside the arena since the last match ended, her expression dull, her eyes lifeless as if she'd been broken, finally regained her spirit at this moment.
No, to be precise, she even seemed to glow with renewed vitality, all the gloom swept from her face, a smile even appearing at the corner of her lips.
That's it!
Break her down thoroughly! Just like you did to me, make her snap!
Seika-senpai's smile gradually turned twisted, seemingly forgetting her previous dejection.
"Uh… I was careless."
Asuka withstood the impact, letting out a long breath.
Using her body to take damage for a life point counter-attack was indeed her usual strategy, but if she accidentally took too much and knocked herself out, it would just become a pure comedy.
Such an unprecedented and bizarre way to lose might even get her etched into the academy's hall of shame and become a laughingstock…
Asuka shook her head, forcing herself to concentrate on the duel.
"According to the effect of 'Cyber Tutu Dual Dance,' my monster can counter-attack.
Go, Cyber Tutu's direct attack!"
The female cyber-star soared, gracefully spinning like a ballerina, her leg sweeping forward like a whirlwind towards You Xuan.
[You Xuan, LP 4000 → LP 3000]
"The effect of Equip Spell 'Angel's Wing'! When battle damage is inflicted, an additional three hundred points of battle damage are added!"
[You Xuan, LP 3000 → LP 2700]
You Xuan raised his Duel Disk to block the virtual impact, his body swayed, but he stood firm.
"Then I set three cards face-down on the field, and end my turn," You Xuan stated. "At the end of the turn, the side effect of 'Limiter Removal' activates. A Machine-Type monster that received this card's effect is destroyed at the end of the turn."
The Card Blaster exploded with a crash, turning into a pile of ashes.
"However, due to 'Card Blaster's' effect, when this card is destroyed on the field and sent to the Graveyard, I can draw one card from my Deck."
You Xuan drew a card.
The surrounding crowd finally relaxed their breathing slightly.
"The first turn is already this intense…"
"Asuka Tenjoin's Life Points are instantly fragile as a flickering candle in the wind, it's very dangerous for her."
You Xuan: "..."
He had momentarily forgotten about that "flickering candle" part. Life Point lock in the original series was also a curse; usually, whoever locked their Life Points first had a greater advantage. But here, he had actually delivered Asuka into counter-attack range first.
Hmm, but it shouldn't be that superstitious here... right?
"My turn, draw!"
Asuka steadied herself.
He actually saw through her strategy and struck her hard… However, because of Limiter Removal's side effect, his field no longer had any monsters.
But the opponent's face-down cards…
"Hesitation won't help." Asuka's eyes hardened. "I will follow through with my duel!
Battle, I direct attack with 'Cyber Tutu'!"
As Cyber Tutu maneuvered and twirled, its elegant figure leaped forward, delivering a spinning kick.
"Bold, as expected," You Xuan narrowed his eyes. "Then I activate my face-down card, Trap Card – Dimension Wall!
When an opponent declares an attack, the damage inflicted by this battle… is taken by the opponent!"
The crowd: "!!!"
"He revealed such a trap at this critical moment!?"
This trap undoubtedly directly reversed the situation. The one who would now take the direct attack and immediately lose would be Asuka herself.
"As expected, he has a counter-measure…" Asuka swiftly inserted a card from her hand. "Quick-Play Spell 'Heroine's Light'!" (Anime Card)
She sent Cyber Tutu from her Duel Disk to the Graveyard, then quickly revealed another card from her hand.
"Heroine's Light! By sending 'Cyber Tutu' from my field to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon one 'Cyber Heroine' from my hand!
Therefore, I sacrifice 'Cyber Tutu' from my field! Appear—
—Level 6, Cyber Heroine!"
The star vanished from the field, its scattered light points forming a swirling vortex. A beam of light shot skyward, and a silver-haired cyber-star with an alluring figure gracefully spun into appearance.
[Cyber Heroine, ATK 2300]
"Incredible!" Nakamura from the student council couldn't help but exclaim. "Because the attacking monster disappeared from the field, this battle naturally becomes invalid, and no battle damage will be dealt!"
"And because it was Special Summoned during the Battle Phase, Cyber Heroine can still attack!" A student next to him added. "If this attack goes through, it can cause massive damage in one go…"
Asuka couldn't help but smile faintly with a hint of pride: "I'm not that easy to deal with, huh?"
She raised an eyebrow, noticing You Xuan's other face-down card, which had already flipped open.
You Xuan calmly pointed at the card: "Quick-Play Spell – Book of Moon! I change 'Cyber Heroine' to face-down Defense Position."
Asuka: "..."
The onlookers: "..."
The large monster that had just landed immediately tumbled over under the magic of the new moon, becoming a face-down card.
Kohinata Seika: "Hahahaha! That's it! Flip it! Flip them all!"
She was as happy now as she had been miserable before. It seemed the senpai was the most delighted person in the entire arena.
"...Another effect of Equip Spell 'Angel's Wing'," Asuka took a deep breath. "When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, I can draw one card from my Deck.
Then I set two cards face-down on the field, and end my turn."
You Xuan: "My turn, draw.
From my hand, I activate Continuous Spell 'Dimensional Hangar'!" (Anime Card)
As the Spell Card appeared, three cards automatically popped out of his Deck. You Xuan drew the three cards, revealing them to his opponent.
"When 'Dimensional Hangar' is activated, I can banish three Union monsters with Level 4 or lower from my Deck.
I banish 'Y-Dragon Head,' 'Z-Metal Tank,' and 'W-Wing Catapult' from my Deck!"
He raised his arm, then released his grip. The three cards transformed into images of a red metal dragon, a tank-like metal track, and blue battle wings, respectively, and were then sucked into a black vortex that opened above his field.
"It's VWXYZ…" Asuka's expression grew somewhat serious.
The crowd outside stirred: "The legendary rare cards used by Seto Kaiba…"
"Then, I Normal Summon 'X-Head Cannon'!"
[X-Head Cannon, ATK 1800]
"At this moment, another effect of 'Dimensional Hangar' activates," You Xuan declared. "When a monster is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned to my field, if a banished Union Monster card lists that monster's name, I can Special Summon the corresponding Union monster from the banished zone!"
You Xuan simultaneously revealed the two cards he had just banished.
"'Y-Dragon Head' and 'Z-Metal Tank' both list 'X-Head Cannon's' name, so I Special Summon both cards!"
The dark vortex in the banished zone reopened, and like two bolts of golden lightning striking from a black hole, the red dragon head and the heavy tank treads landed on his field.
[Y-Dragon Head, ATK 1500]
[Z-Metal Tank, ATK 1500]
"Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot be Tributed and cannot attack," You Xuan waved his hand. "However, I will combine and transform 'X-Head Cannon,' 'Y-Dragon Head,' and 'Z-Metal Tank' from my field!"
The three machines began to transform, releasing electrical currents that pulled them together, assembling them. Soon, they stacked atop one another, combining into a majestic, heavy-duty combined mecha!
X-Head Cannon became the head, Z-Metal Tank the base, and Y-Dragon Head emerged from the groin area... (scribbled out)
"XYZ-Dragon Cannon, combined summon!"
[XYZ-Dragon Cannon, ATK 2800]
