Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1450 Addicted to Getting Beaten Up?

Manjoume: "I'll go first, draw a card!"

"Activate the Spell Card 'Fusion', fusing 'Disruptive Yellow', 'Disruptive Black', and 'Disruptive Green' from my hand! Fusion Summon! Appear, my scum—"

"—Disruptive King!"

As the saying goes, when things are going well, XYZ is strong; when things are going badly, Armed Dragon is strong; when things are going badly, Disruption King is strong. This time, Manjoume didn't say much and didn't even bother with the preliminaries. He immediately brought out the three trashy characters and Disruption King to take the field. His seriousness is evident.

[Disruptor King, Defense 3000]

Yuma: "Wow, it's a monster with 3,000 defense points all at once!"

Manjou chuckled: "That's not the point. The effect of Disruption King is that this card can seal three monster zones on your opponent's field, rendering them unusable."

I'll seal away all three of your monster zones!

With a wave of his hand, the Disruptor King locked up three monster zones on the racecourse, and yellow, green, and black Disruptor minions jumped out and occupied the monster zones.

Yuma blinked twice: "Three monster slots, so that means I only have two slots left."

He quickly calculated that this meant monsters requiring three or more materials could no longer be Xyz Summoned.
"Next, activate the Continuous Spell Card 'Territory Sink'!" Manjoume said. "This card can seal two monster zones on the field. As long as this card is on the field, those two monster zones cannot be used."

As a result, two more plots of land on the racecourse collapsed with a rumble, leaving two huge "X"s indicating that they were unusable.

"Huh, two more monster zones have been sealed off?"

Yuma blinked twice more.

"etc."

He glanced at the three ugly-cute troublemakers on the field, then at the other two big X's, and only after a slightly delayed reaction did he finally realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Nanananani!?" Yuma exclaimed in shock. "Does this mean I can't summon monsters anymore?!"

The astral body floated leisurely behind and said, "You've spotted me, Yuma."

Yuma scratched his head: "Aaaaah, how could this happen? My turn hasn't even ended yet, and I can't summon monsters anymore. Doesn't not being able to summon monsters mean I can't duel?!"

The astral body slowly said, "Actually, it's not like there's no way."

“Wait,” Yuma interrupted, “This is my own duel.”

The astral body nodded in understanding: "Okay."

Normally, when they're betting their lives on a single card, they work as a pair, combining their powers if they can't win. But in this practice match, that's unnecessary. So Yuma simply shut down the external brain server and went with his gut feeling.

However, as everyone knows, in the early stages, Yuma couldn't even beat his own classmates without his Astral Body, so the result was inevitable.
[Yuma, LP 0]

"Ugh, I lost!"

Yuma plopped down on the ground, clutching his head.

"They can't even summon monsters? That's too cunning!"

Yes, without any dramatic turn of events, Yuma, whose five squares were sealed off, couldn't summon a single monster throughout the entire duel and simply died in an unremarkable manner.

Manjoume put away the duel disk, his brows furrowing slightly.

He initially sensed a familiar scent emanating from the boy, suspecting he might be of the same ilk as his nemesis, Jaden, which was why he attacked first. His duelist instincts told him this lobster-headed fellow was no ordinary person.

But now it seems he was wrong.

"Damn, what a pity. But it's okay, let's try again!"

Yuma immediately shook off his defeat and jumped up again: "Is there anyone else who wants to duel?" Everyone was somewhat surprised.

Generally speaking, after a brutal beating like that, not even being able to summon any monsters, one would probably become resigned to their fate. At the very least, they wouldn't want to touch cards for a while.

This kid actually wants to play again right away? Is he that addicted to cards?

Soon enough, a second person stepped forward to challenge them.

"I come!"

This time it was a student from the yellow dormitory.

"."

"I activate the Spell Card 'Level Up'! This card can raise the Level of one 'LV' monster on the field!" said the yellow-clad student. "I'm raising the Level of my 'Horus Black Flame Dragon LV6' on the field!"
Send LV6 to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 'Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8' from your Deck, ignoring the Summoning conditions!

Horus' Black Flame Dragon LV8, Attack Power 3000

Yuma exclaimed excitedly, "Oh my god, it seems like a really powerful guy has come out!"

"Hehe, don't get your hopes up yet," the student from the yellow dormitory laughed. "When Horus's Black Flame Dragon LV8 is on the field, it can negate and destroy the activation and effects of all Spell Cards."

Yuma exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? So I can't use magic cards anymore?"

Huang's dormitory student: "Next, activate the face-down card, the Continuous Trap Card 'Royal Announcement'! Negate all other Trap Cards on the field except for this one!"

Yuma: "!??"

What?! This means we can't even use trap cards anymore?!
Yuma was dumbfounded again.

In the last game, I couldn't summon a single minion, and in this game, I can't use spells or traps.
What is this all about?

No, is this how cards are played at Duel Academy?

A simple, overconfident young man seemed to be experiencing the treacherous world of card games for the first time in his life.
And so, without any further incident, Yuma suffered another tragedy.

It's not just because he lacks the assistance of astral bodies. Yuma differs significantly from other protagonists in that, in the early stages, his abilities in the Entertainment Bureau were far inferior to those in the Gambling Bureau.

As everyone knows, Yuma's main deck revolves around Hope Stacking, and Hope was constantly being nerfed from the first episode to the finale. If there were an award for the most overworked character in the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! series, it would definitely be Hope. Even Dark Magician, Neos, and Stardust Dragon would have to be bundled together to match Hope's overtime hours.

However, in Yuma's mind, No. Monsters are all "cheat codes," and Yuma is a very ethical player; he generally insists on not using cheat codes unless his opponent does. Therefore, he doesn't use any of his No. Monsters, not just Hope.

Moreover, "not using" here doesn't just mean "not summoning." In casual games, the No. 1 card is often not even in his Extra Deck. There are several clear shots in the anime showing the audience that when Yuma's card box suddenly glows halfway through a game, Hope, who wasn't there before, suddenly appears out of thin air.

NO. doesn't necessarily need to be summoned to be useful; as long as it's carried, the host can obtain a continuous source of "power," which is also part of the cheat system. However, Yuma, the card-wielding Druid, not only doesn't summon, but his extra card box often doesn't even have a NO. card, meaning he doesn't even have this part of the power of destiny, which is equivalent to fighting others in a state of "self-sealed realm."

In addition, his card skills were poor in the early stages, so it was only natural that he was beaten.

However, Yuma has one strength: he becomes more courageous after setbacks. After being beaten twice in a row, he immediately cheered up again.

"Wow, that's amazing! As expected of Duel Academy, they can actually prevent their opponent from playing any cards!"

You Ma was greatly surprised.

"Is there anyone else? Is anyone else coming?"

The students looked at each other in bewilderment once again.

Could this kid have lost his mind after being traumatized?
