My anime-style card deck is fine!

Not far away, the White Bear Godfather seemed to have noticed something.

He casually turned his head, met his gaze, gave him a smile, and then turned away—this scene made Masamune even more annoyed!

How dare even a mere follower mock me!

"...Is that so? Then do what you're supposed to do!"

The girl in the kimono paused for a moment, then tacitly agreed. Since the duel between equals was clearly a loss, then let the silver-level fighter take the stage...

As for the rules of this duel?

They were the organizers. Although they were shameless, compared to what they could gain from winning, the face they lost by temporarily changing the rules was nothing!

Everything for victory!

"Round Two—!!"

At the same time, after receiving approval, Masamune almost gritted his teeth and shouted, "Release your resentment! [Emperor Sutoku]!!"

lion?

No, it's a tengu!

The fire lion, which had been completely overwhelmed, suddenly burst into flames...

No, it's not fire, it's hatred!

The flames of hatred transformed into a pair of jet-black wings, and the face, ugly as a lion, was covered by a celestial dog mask at some unknown time.

"Crack!" The giant axe crashed to the ground.

Emperor Sutoku casually pulled out the axe handle...

That was a large katana, far longer than an axe!

"When my [Emperor Sutoku] is attacked, its damage will accumulate, and I can activate its effect at any time!" The berserk Masamune practically shouted out the effect:

"Send it from the field to the graveyard, and I will take all the damage this card receives!"

"At the same time, I can add a Silver-tier card from my Extra Deck—[Great Tengu - Emperor Sutoku]—on top of my face-down card! The card's attack and defense will be equal to the damage I just received!"

"Come on, Xyz Summon—!!"

"【Great Tengu - Emperor Sutoku】!"

飓风。

The mere unfolding of those jet-black wings stirred up a hurricane on the field.

The bullets and artillery fire that were originally coming like a raging torrent were blown away by the wind. The huge wind pressure even knocked down the giants around them, and the gang animals, although they were standing far away, were still blown away!

This is the great yokai that represents the wind disaster in the legend of cherry blossoms!

At the same time, this is also...

"Silver Follower—!"

The audience erupted in uproar, and some proud citizens of Japan even shouted angry words on the spot, believing that the kimono-clad girl and the manic man Masamune had defiled the sacred duel and should commit seppuku.

But very soon, almost the instant the Great Tengu appeared, someone from the organizers jumped out.

An explanation...

In short, the original competition was designed to allow more people to participate, making it a mass event. However, due to the presence of a talented international student from China, the rules were specifically changed to facilitate better communication with this gifted student.

In short, they constantly emphasize their identity as Chinese students studying abroad.

Suddenly, the audience, who were still angry, quieted down. Although they were still somewhat dissatisfied, the change in the identities of Amon and the others naturally made them more inclined to side with the card masters from their own country.

The complaints immediately subsided.

"How boring, resorting to such underhanded tactics." Nan Ruyin wasn't angry, but rather found it amusing: "They were already no match for Ai Ke and Amon at the Bronze level, do they really think they can easily win once they reach Silver?"

"Innocent."

Bubble gave its evaluation.

"How naive! Couldn't they have done some investigation?" The girl with glasses glanced at the audience and pushed up her glasses. "Oh dear, is it because the opponents didn't follow the rules?... Amon and the others seem a bit angry."

Chapter 233: The quadrennial mayoral election in Zootopia!

"...Aren't you following the rules?"

Amon glanced at the flag standing not far away, on which the rules in red letters on a white background were clearly visible. Then Amon saw a staff member jog over and use a paint bucket in his hand to erase the rule that did not allow the use of silver cards.

Make changes on the spot!

Aiko didn't speak, but her eyes were full of dissatisfaction: "If you can't beat someone, you resort to cheating. What's the difference between this behavior and that of a child rolling around in the street?"

Even Wu Shanyu's smile faded.

He frowned as he sized up the person opposite him.

The people on the other side remained silent.

But the manic Masamune didn't care about all that; he was the one who started it all—since the deed was done, he had to win!

"Due to rule changes, we are now moving on to the next round!"

Nearby, the temporary referee, who had received a hint from the manic man, held up a megaphone and shamelessly announced, "At the same time, given the reduced number of participants on the field, the time for each round has now been shortened to three minutes."

"Then, the game begins again!"

Upon hearing this, Amon and the other two were speechless for a moment.

This time, they're not even going to offer an explanation, and are just abruptly ending the round, right?

"Hey, I said..."

Amon looked at the other side, somewhat annoyed: "Aren't you going to explain anything?"

Although it wasn't a formal duel, but rather a privately set up arena at the temple fair, such competitions, while not protected by dueling rules, were still considered quite serious violations of the rules in a world where dueling was so prevalent!

This is not simply a matter of private morality.

There are even explicit legal provisions stating that this competition is not legitimate and is merely an entertainment event. In any formal setting, anyone who dares to engage in such underhanded tactics will not only fail to win but will also be immediately sent to prison.

"Don't be so angry. Don't you think the venue was a bit too small?"

This is exactly what they mean by "a petty person achieving success".

After summoning the Great Tengu, Masamune was extremely smug: "We are all Silver-rank card masters. It's rare for us to get together like this. If we can't go all out, wouldn't it make us seem like we haven't been hospitable enough?"

Amon ignored him.

Instead, he looked at the girl in the kimono; compared to the manic man, this girl was the one in charge.

"……Feel sorry."

The girl in the kimono turned her head stiffly and said curtly, "We have a reason to win."

"Is that so? Then there's nothing to talk about."

Amon nodded.

He simply looked at the person opposite him, his gaze filled with undisguised disdain.

The girl in the kimono lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed.

But the manic man was rather annoyed. Some people do wrong things but never reflect on themselves. Instead, they will blame others without hesitation.

Upon noticing Amon's gaze, he felt his pride being severely wounded.

I was initially a little regretful, but now I'm completely enraged.

"What are you looking at? Get up there!"

Now that the deed was done, the manic man Masamune had no reason to hesitate and immediately ordered his teammates who had been eliminated by Ike to take the field.

Those people also had blank expressions, but they couldn't refuse.

Driven by the cards, five different minions reappeared on the field. However, this time, they all consciously summoned their minions behind the Great Tengu.

To avoid being bombarded by Eiko again.

"Pick the card."

Aiko frowned and added a card to her empty hand.

On the other side, seeing that Amon and the other two had no intention of leaving, he swallowed the sarcastic words that were about to come out of his mouth—but that was fine, it saved him from having to waste his breath!

After noticing that Amon and the other two had started operating, the manic man preemptively issued the command!

"Your Majesty, Emperor Sutoku!"

Gain an advantage by cheating, and then strike first.

This was undoubtedly a despicable sneak attack!

But something even more shameful has already been done, and neither the kimono-clad girl nor Amon and his two companions have any objections.

Upon receiving the order, the Silver-ranked Great Tengu appeared in front of the White Bear Godfather in an instant with just a flap of its wings—he had just been badly beaten by this fluffy white thing!

Therefore, once permission to attack is granted, the attack is launched immediately!

The katana was wreathed in flames.

It slashed down with overwhelming force!

"Ha~"

The White Bear Godfather gave a disdainful sneer to the Great Tengu who was standing right in front of him.

He casually spat out the cigar in his mouth, then ripped off his expensive, flashy suit and put on a rather formal one instead!

He wore a black suit and trousers, and a gold watch on his wrist.

The previously sneer-like expression of a gangster boss instantly transformed into one of solemnity and righteousness.

Aiko's voice followed.

"Activate the Ritual Card [Zootopia Mayor Election]! This card's effect can only be activated if there are [White Animals] on the field and your number of minions exceeds your opponent's!"

"Synchro Evolution!"
