# Domino City Idea King
"That really is an incredible Combo." Sending the two Monsters on the Field to the Graveyard, Hayato's Card face's resistance against Pig-Head Goro's serious offensive ended in failure, and his Life Points also dropped significantly.
[Hayato: 3000 LP → 1350 LP]
"I End Turn." Since his Hand was empty, Pig-Head Goro couldn't make any moves and ended his Turn. "Come on, Hayato Kobayashi, let me see the limit of your skill as a Duelist!"
[Goro: Hand 6 → 7 → 0]
"My Turn..." Placing his hand on top of his Deck, Hayato paused slightly. He felt a familiar sensation he hadn't felt in a long time, as if the Card about to be Drawn was calling out to him.
Looking at Pig-Head Goro across from him, Hayato smiled and replied, "In that case, I'll show you."
"Draw! And then Summon!"
Without even looking, Hayato Drew the Monster from the top of his Deck and immediately placed it onto the Field. As expected, it was Gaia The Fierce Knight!
[Gaia The Fierce Knight] [ATK 2300]
"Then I activate my Set Card, Sword of Dragon's Soul! It increases Gaia's ATK by 700 points!"
[Gaia The Fierce Knight] [ATK 2300 → 3000]
The surrounding crowd, seeing Hayato boost his Monster's ATK to such a level, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"It actually reached the ATK of the legendary dream Card, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"At this level, no matter which Monster he attacks, Pig-Head Goro's Life Points will be wiped out!"
"So strong!"
Hayato calmly pinched the mouths of Ojama Black and Ojama Green, who were poking their heads out from the Card and trying to flatter him, and said, "Gaia The Fierce Knight, Attack! Destroy Hungry Burger!"
"Hmph, you've got some skill."
[Goro: 600 LP → 0]
The System's reward popped up just in time:
[Congratulations on winning the Duel, initiating Settlement:

Would you like to use Newbie Reward · Score Doubling? (Remaining uses: 9)]
After thinking for a moment, Hayato decided there was no reason not to use it. 4800 DP flowed into his Balance. Watching his Balance increase to 9300 points, Hayato showed a satisfied smile.
Pig-Head Goro tidied up his Deck and walked towards Hayato. However, before he could say anything, Joey Wheeler and Tristan surrounded him, blocking him in front of Hayato with wary expressions.
"You bastard, are you planning to go back on your word after losing!?" Joey Wheeler raised a hand to block Pig-Head Goro, who was trying to approach. "I won't let you get one step closer to Hayato."
But Pig-Head Goro just glanced at Joey Wheeler and walked around him. "Hmph, even though I, Pig-Head Goro, am a delinquent, I still have the dignity of a Duelist."
Saying that, he walked up to Hayato and pulled out his Deck. "I lost this Duel. According to Mr. Pegasus's Ante Rule, take your Spoils from my Deck, Hayato Kobayashi."
Hayato was a little confused. "I remember at the beginning, our bet didn't include this rule, did it?"
"I don't care about your Rules. Just like fish live in water and birds fly in the sky, the game of Duel Monsters, to me, is a game where you bet your most cherished Cards." Although Pig-Head Goro was reluctant to have his Cards taken by Hayato, he still firmly spread out his Deck. "Alright, Hayato Kobayashi, make your choice quickly, unless you don't plan on letting the guys from our Class take the Griddle away."
"Just as choosing Spoils is the right of the victor, refusing Spoils is also the magnanimity of the victor. I choose to refu—" Hayato had no intention of anteing Cards. A large part of the reason was that he didn't care for any of the Cards Pig-Head Goro had just used; taking them wouldn't be interesting.
But just as he was about to say the word "refuse," Hayato saw a Card in Pig-Head Goro's Deck. "—It seems a bit rude to refuse you. Then I'll take this Card."
Seeing Hayato take a Card from his Deck, Pig-Head Goro couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Both because Hayato had accepted a Card, and because the Card Hayato took wasn't one of the ones he valued most. "He only took such a useless Card? What a kind guy."
"Being called that by a big guy is really unbearable." Hayato put the chosen Card into his Card Box and put it away. He glanced at the Griddle next to them that had just been used as a Duel Platform. "So now, can you fulfill the promise you just made?"
"Since you lost, hurry up and leave!" Tristan added, but Joey Wheeler corrected him. "That's not it at all. The guys from Class D still have to help us completely renovate the damaged parts."
"Small Fry should just shut up quietly. The only strong person I acknowledge is Hayato Kobayashi. You have no right to order me around." When facing Hayato, Pig-Head Goro's attitude was much better than before the Duel started, but when he turned to face Joey Wheeler , he reverted to his campus bully demeanor.
"Speaking of which, I remember Class D's Field should be right next to Class B's, right?" Hayato looked towards the direction of their Class's Field entrance, towards the neighboring area. Although Class B's Field had been damaged by Pig-Head Goro and his group, since the main Project at the Game Carnival was games, a simple repair of the Renovation wouldn't have any impact.
As for Class D's Field, even though almost a whole day had passed, it was still completely bare. Tomorrow was the Cultural Festival, weren't they worried about not finishing on time?
Pig-Head Goro saw the confusion in Hayato's heart and replied, "Our Class D's Project is a super large Okonomiyaki. Renovation isn't necessary at all, because for us, the biggest use of the Field is as a Warehouse for storing Ingredients and Consumables."
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese snack. Ingredients like Ham, Corn, Chicken, Shrimp, and Bacon are added to a Batter made of flour and Egg, and then the Batter is poured onto a Griddle and fried into palm-sized round cakes. Toppings like Bonito Flakes and Mayonnaise Sauce are then sprinkled on top, making it a convenient snack to eat on the go.
Class D also simultaneously operated Takoyaki, Skewers, Fried Noodles, and Fried Rice, which could be made at the same time as Okonomiyaki. All of these were things meant to be packed up and eaten, so they indeed didn't need much Renovation for their "Warehouse."
"Your Class D doesn't need a Shop Interior, just a Showcase, while our Class doesn't need a Showcase, just an Indoor Play Space." Watching the people from Class D being directed by Pig-Head Goro, apologizing to the people from Class B while renovating the Shop Interior, Hayato thought of an Idea he considered quite good. "I have a plan!"
