# Chapter 42: What is a Field Spell?
"Go, Swordsman of Flame! Crush that Small Fry with 0 ATK!"
After Pig-Head Goro played Swordsman of Flame, he had just made his Attack Declaration when Hayato interrupted him.
"You just said you were going to Activate an Attack, right?" Hayato flipped one of his three Set Cards. "Before you Attack, I Activate the Spell Card, Mysterious Chinese Pot! This Card's Effect allows me to Tribute one Monster on my Field. I choose to recover that Monster's ATK or DEF as Life Points."
"Heh hahahaha, I really don't know which unlucky guy is going to be Tributed?" Looking at the Spell Card Hayato Activated, Ojama Yellow squinted its eyes with laughter. In its opinion, whether it was Baby Dragon or Flying Dragon Warrior, the Life Points (LP) that could be recovered by Tributeing them would be more than its own.
"The one I'm Tributeing is Ojama Yellow!"
"Uh-huh, the one being Tributed is—huh, Ojama Yellow!?" At first, it hadn't reacted, and Ojama Yellow was happily wiggling its butt. But it quickly reacted and turned its head, looking at Hayato pointing at it with his finger, with an expression of disbelief.
"This Monster is just a useless piece of trash with 0 ATK. Its Destiny is to be destroyed by you even if it stays on the Field. I might as well fry him up and eat him."
Hayato ignored Ojama Yellow's cries of "Nooo, Aniki~" and mercilessly sent it to the Graveyard area, choosing to recover Ojama Yellow's DEF of 1000 points as Life Points.
[Hayato: 2000LP→3000LP]
"As expected, you were just messing with me. Then I'll Attack your Baby Dragon."
Although the current Duel Monsters doesn't have a setting like "Battle Replay", because Hayato Activated Mysterious Chinese Pot before the Battle occurred, Pig-Head Goro was able to re-select Swordsman of Flame's Attack target. And this time, Baby Dragon was successfully Battle Destruction.
"My Turn ends—"
"The moment you end your Turn, I still have a Card to Activate." Amidst Joey Wheeler and Tristan 's discussion on the side, "As expected, it's that Card again," Hayato revealed his Set Card. "Time Machine. Because of its Effect, the destroyed Baby Dragon will return to my Field again."
Hayato once again performed the unique skill of "jumping back and forth," putting Baby Dragon, which had been sent to the Graveyard and hadn't had time to bond with Ojama Yellow, back onto the Field.
"Truly persistent! End Turn!"
[Goro: Hand 6→7→6]
Pig-Head Goro's mood didn't affect Hayato's plays in the slightest. He Draw a Card from his Deck. "My Draw Phase. I'm going to Activate a Set Card again."
"Again?!"
"Don't worry, it's not some outrageous Effect. The Effect of Reload is that all Cards in my Hand return to the Deck and are shuffled, then I Draw the same number of Cards that were returned." After revealing Reload and sending it to the Graveyard, Hayato put the total of five Cards in his Hand back into his Deck. After shuffling a few times, he Draw a Card five Cards again.
"Pig-Head Goro, right? Actually, I'm quite introverted. I like being passive, even in Duel Monsters." Hayato said nonsensical things as he Set two Cards from his Hand onto the Field. "I Set two Cards. My Turn ends."
[Hayato: Hand 4→5→3]
"Here's a joke: Hayato isn't good at attacking, he's an introverted person," Joey Wheeler Ranted casually. "He must have Set some Card whose Effect can only be Activated when attacking."
The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart.
"My Turn. Draw a Card." Pig-Head Goro Draw a Card, not Summoning a Monster immediately, but instead glancing at the two Cards Hayato had just Set. Last Turn, he Attacked the Monsters on Hayato's Field. Although it achieved some results, it could also be said to have achieved no results at all.
Except for that Ojama Yellow, which was worse than a Small Fry, being Tributed and sent to the Graveyard, helping Hayato's Life Points increase to 3000LP, the other two Monsters were fundamentally still the same. Moreover, because of the Battle Replay changing the Attack target, and destroying the Monster only to immediately Summon it back, Hayato's series of plays made Pig-Head Goro feel completely played by him.
'I haven't performed a Monster Summon this Turn. Should I Summon a Monster? This way I can clear all the barriers on that guy's Field in one go.' Gripping a Card in his Hand, Pig-Head Goro was a bit hesitant. 'But that blond guy over there doesn't seem to be lying either. This guy might have Set some strange Trap again.'
"I'll use Swordsman of Flame on the Field to Attack that Baby Dragon." After much hesitation, Pig-Head Goro didn't Summon a Monster, but directly used Swordsman of Flame to Activate an Attack. To deal with the Monsters currently appearing, Swordsman of Flame's ATK was completely sufficient. There was no need to create unnecessary openings for the opponent. Pig-Head Goro thought this.
Then, Hayato didn't make any plays and sent the Baby Dragon on the Field to the Graveyard.
"He actually didn't Activate a Set Card!?"
Hayato looked very troubled. "Oh dear, I wanted to use it though, but the conditions for Activation weren't met. One wall was destroyed, how troublesome."
Damn it, I was actually bluffed by this guy's posturing! Glaring angrily at Joey Wheeler , making Joey Wheeler on the side feel a bit confused, Pig-Head Goro said, "End Turn. Because my Hand reached the limit, I discard one Card."
[Goro: Hand 6→7→6]
"Then it's my Turn."
Draw a Card, Hayato glanced at the Monster Goro discarded. It was a Normal Monster. Confirming it wasn't a Graveyard Effect like Super-Electromagnetic Turtle, Hayato showed a smile. "That Goro over there, I heard you're a fan of Pegasus. Then, have you heard about the new type of Card he plans to release recently?"
"I Activate the Field Spell Card, Ojama Country!"
"What, Field Spell?!" Pig-Head Goro showed a panicked expression for the first time. "Impossible! I remember all the Cards produced by Industrial Illusions. There's absolutely no such thing as a 'Field Spell'!"
"Unfortunately, Field Spells are real. This Card in my Hand is the proof. And not long after, more new types of Cards will be released." Hayato placed Ojama Country in the center of the Field, then Activated its Effect.
"The first Effect of Ojama Country: While it exists on the Field, once per Turn, I can send one Card with the Ojama Archetype to the Graveyard, then Special Summon one Ojama Monster from the Graveyard."
Showing the Ojama Black in his Hand, Hayato revived Ojama Yellow from the Graveyard, then played another Card. "Dark Factory of Mass Production. It can Convert two Normal Monsters from the Graveyard back to the Hand. I will Convert the Ojama Black that was just sent to the Graveyard and the Baby Dragon that was previously destroyed."
"Then, I will Activate the Fusion I Set earlier!"
