Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: The Fighting Style of Small fry

"You're kidding, right, someone actually used a whole 100 Spell Points to craft that kind of card!"

When the Magic Card [Triangular Power] appeared, what shocked the crowd the most was Aisha's act of wasting Spell Points like this.

Was the Magic Card [Monster Reborn] not fragrant enough?

Or was the Trap Card [Magic Cylinder] not vicious enough?

Aisha Yuna Carlos actually chose to craft a card specifically used to enhance trash monsters.

Besides, did this card really have an effect worthy of a B-rank Spell... no one had even actually used it to experience it.

"Although not heroes, although not cool at all... weaklings also have the weaklings' way of fighting! This is the possibility brought by [Triangular Power]!"

[Triangular Power Magic Card Effect: The original ATK and DEF of all face-up Level 1 Normal Monsters you control (excluding Tokens) increase by 2000 points. During the End Phase, destroy all Level 1 Normal Monsters you control.]

The three Yoyo floating in the duel field adjusted their positions, linked by light, forming a triangular formation.

Level 1 Normal Monsters, the trash among trash, monsters that normal people wouldn't even bother looking at twice, yet at this moment became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Erupt, power of trash! Through the effect of [Triangular Power], increase the attack and defense power of the 3 Yoyo by 2000 points!"

[Yoyo ATK: 300→2300]

Aisha exclaimed excitedly: "(ノ゚0゚)ノ Yoyo, my Yoyo can actually, actually be this strong!"

Under the amplification of the B-rank Spell, each tofu block's attack power was 2300 points, second only to the 2400 attack points of Red-Eyes Black Dragon, it could be said to rival legendary combat power.

And most importantly, Aisha had three Yoyo on her field!

Rounding up, that's three Red-Eyes Black Dragons standing there!

"Is that an attack power trash monsters can achieve?"

The crowd, whose worldview received a huge impact, felt the concept of 'trash' collapse in this instant.

This was precisely the effect You Ling needed.

Although cards like [Magic Cylinder] were powerful, that was just the card itself being very strong, having no relation to Aisha.

How to more effectively utilize the exclusive trash monster deck, letting the weak Normal Monsters display their unique fighting power, different from high-level monsters, belonging only to trash, was more suitable for Aisha than simply relying on the power of high-level Spell Cards.

"3 monsters with 2300 attack points, th-th-th... Xiao Ai, are you kidding me?"

Yilin never expected that one day she would be scared into retreating continuously by stupidly cute tofu blocks with question marks on their heads.

Even if she had a HERO-exclusive defensive Trap Card set in her back row, it seemed impossible for it to help her block such a terrifying tofu offensive.

"Battle, Yoyos! Show your trash monster perseverance!"

Declaring the start of the Battle Phase, the three Yoyos, poised for action, rapidly flapped the small wings on their backs that looked like ears and charged towards Yilin's field.

Yilin helplessly flipped over her set card.

"——Activate Trap Card [Hero Barrier]!"

[Hero Barrier Trap Card Effect: If you control a face-up "Elemental HERO" monster, negate one attack from an opponent's monster.]

The Elemental HERO exclusive defensive Trap Card, belonging to C-rank Spells, couldn't achieve the level of defense like Negate Attack.

Even though Yilin flipped over this trap, the high-speed spinning hero barrier could only help her block the attack of one Yoyo.

"Mada da ( Japanese loanword meaning 'not yet/still more'), keep charging, Yoyos!"

Aside from the one tofu block that crashed headfirst into the hero barrier and shattered into pieces, the other two Yoyo locked onto Sparkman and Knospe respectively and launched their attacks.

[Sparkman ATK: 1600]

[Yoyo ATK: 2300]

"Explosive kill!"

[Sparkman] destroyed

Yilin LP: 2000→1300 (Note: Damage should be 700, LP should be 1300)

[Knospe ATK: 600]

[Yoyo ATK: 2300]

"Explosive kill——!"

[Knospe] destroyed

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Yilin LP: 1300→0 (Note: Damage should be 1700, reducing LP to 0)

The two Elemental HERO monsters on the field were both destroyed and pulverized by Yoyo, swallowed beneath the terrifying offensive of the tofu blocks.

Yilin was also sent flying horizontally by the impact of the real damage, her Life Points reduced to zero.

"Duel end, the winner is... Aisha Yuna Carlos."

Announcing the duel result, even though inwardly shocked as well, Teacher Aileen, biting her cigarette roll, still tried hard to maintain a calm facade.

If she showed surprise every week due to Aisha Carlos's practical combat test performance, she, as the homeroom teacher, would lose too much face.

"Hahahahahaha~" From the second-year side, however, Irena's demonic laughter after successfully collecting money filled the air, "Now that the duel is over, you don't need to pay the money you lost."

Sent flying, Yilin lay sprawled on the duel field floor in a star shape, starting to talk to herself.

"What happened, I actually lost to Xiao Ai. This is the first time, I lost to Xiao Ai in a duel... No no no, this kind of thing simply can't happen, I just feel something is too strange."

Although she lost this duel, through this duel, Yilin also sensed clues pointing towards the correct answer.

After eliminating all impossible factors, no matter how unbelievable the remainder is, that is the truth.

On the other side, Kevin wasn't as quick-witted as Yilin.

Through this duel, Kevin seemed to have confirmed another 'truth'.

"As expected, Aisha Yuna Carlos, unlike those annoying stupid women, is my destined rival!"

This time it wasn't the [Hand Exchange] tactic, but utilizing the power of Aisha's own trash monsters to completely defeat Elemental HEROes.

This allowed Kevin Set to further clearly recognize Aisha Carlos's strength, definitely not due to luck.

"I must find a way to get close to her, my rival!"

Having confirmed his interest in a 'woman' for the first time, Kevin felt like he had opened the door to a new world, wanting to understand Aisha Carlos further.

Thus, the impatient Kevin walked up immediately after the duel ended.

"Student Aisha, please wait a moment." Kevin gently extended his hand forward as a gesture.

——Soul Exchange.

You Ling, still adhering strictly to the agreement, exchanged control of the body back to Aisha after the duel ended.

"(゜-゜)? Ah-leh, what is it, Kevin?"

"Er, no..."

Kevin's outstretched hand awkwardly hovered in mid-air.

"No, it's nothing."

Kevin, retracting his hand again, fell back into confusion.

Why, when he was watching the duel, was he so certain?

But the current Aisha was completely just a stupid woman commonly seen in the academy.

The feeling of a destined rival vanished without a trace.
