I'm in Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm also in Machine Ascension.

In an instant, having lost all his sources of power, Chairman Kagemaru's body swayed rapidly. After a painful struggle, as if all his strength had been drained, he went from his robust middle-aged state to a frail and old man, his body aging rapidly. His originally black hair turned pale.

"This way... Waaaaah~"

"How could I possibly lose this hard-won second life!"

Amidst Chairman Kagemaru's angry, resentful, and even somewhat aggrieved cries of pain, he mustered all his strength and angrily turned his gaze toward Yuuka:

"How did you do that... Wind Chaser!"

...

At this moment, along with the voice of the man whose life force was extremely waning, everyone simultaneously realized the unprecedented and astonishing situation and turned their questioning gazes towards him.

"there is nothing..."

"Indeed, your [Chaos Illusion - Amitaire] has been granted powerful resistance by [Paradise Lost], making it immune to being targeted by effects and unaffected by them..."

"But the reason my [Heavenly Thunder - Azeus] can be called the [Ultimate Weapon] is because its second-speed card-destroying effect doesn't target, and instead of destroying, it sends the card directly to the graveyard, perfectly bypassing the powerful resistance of your [Chaos Phantom - Amitaire]..."

In the instant a confident smile spread across his lips, he immediately nodded slowly and said with a smile:

"Therefore, this card is absolutely unique in its significance to the [Xyz] deck!"

...

Soon, accompanied by Youfeng's melodious voice, everyone instantly understood the power of this card:

"Is that so? The cost is extremely low; as long as you have an Xyz monster, you can stack it directly... and the removal effect is almost at its peak..."

After a sigh of regret, Jaden Yuki immediately looked at the enormous Machine-Type Rank 12 Xyz Monster Card, "Tenks-Azeus," with a face full of longing.

Meanwhile, the blue-haired, gray-eyed boy, Marufuji Ryo, whom he was holding in his arms, smiled with renewed hope, offering the highest respect to his teacher, Yuuka, whom he held in the highest esteem within the [Electronic Style]:

"Hmm... So, this is also why Yuuka-sensei, by using [Metroid] for a smooth combo at the start, has already accumulated at least 4 XYZ materials for himself, which means—"

"The clearing effect of [Skybreaker - Aeus] can be activated twice!"

"Under this level of offensive, the opponent basically has no chance of continuously withstanding two rounds from Teacher Youfeng..."

"Because Teacher Youfeng is using the supreme [Sebadorgon], which boasts unparalleled OTK power!"

...

Soon, accompanied by Marufuji Ryo's very confident voice, the astonished expressions of the crowd gradually turned into genuine smiles of relief, as if they had finally been saved.

"In that case, all the crises are resolved immediately..."

Accompanied by the somewhat adoring gaze of the young girl, Asuka Tenjouin, both the joyful Manjou-me and the pale-faced Professor Chronos, their expressions immediately softened with smiles.

At that moment, realizing that he had completely lost his chance of winning, Chairman Kagemaru also fell into utter despair.

After Yufeng ended his turn with a mechanical, numb, dueling instinct, he also skipped a card draw and ended his turn.

This time, while summoning a Machine-type monster to replenish his attack points, Yuuki first reduced some of Chairman Kagemaru's LP, and then, during the battle phase, piloted [Skybreaker - Azeus] to deliver the final, decisive blow:

"Then, be annihilated by the power of the ultimate weapon, Chairman Kagemaru!"

In an instant, amidst Yufeng's exhilarating voice, the battle flags on the field changed from face-up defense to face-up attack, and a battle declaration was immediately issued:

"[Skybreaker - Arceus]! Unleash a fatal blow against the resisting enemy!"

In an instant, the giant mechanical Gundam that had been floating in the air under the power of the flame-powered thruster, after playing a crucial role in clearing the field in the previous round, once again swung its steel fist and delivered a heavy blow to the chairman of the board, Kagemaru, who, although the [Chaos Phantom Demon - Amitel] had been cleared, was still being provided with the power to continue the round by the [Three Phantom Demons] since the round had not yet ended.

"Ah~"

Amidst an extremely piercing scream, everyone instinctively closed their eyes.

Although 3000 points of attack power is not considered a high level of attack power for Youfeng, who is extremely good at boosting attack power.

However, for duelists, no one wants to take such a devastating blow that comes from wiping out all your cards on the field and leaving you in a desperate situation.

"Woooooo~"

After being heavily knocked to the ground, the silver Duel Disk lit up with a full 3000 damage, instantly reducing his LP to zero. Chairman Kagemaru immediately lost the power to support his [Three Phantom Demons] deck...

Furthermore, under the backlash of the evil magic, the already dying body finally succumbed to the torment, letting out a series of shrill cries in pain before its flame of life was completely extinguished.

...

"Ugh..."

Seeing that Chairman Kagemaru ultimately met such an end, Principal Samejima, the bald principal who had worked with him for quite some time, sighed and shook his head with considerable emotion.

"...Chairman Kagemaru's initial goal at Honinbo was simply to survive..."

"Although these actions were taken, it's likely due to interference from the evil forces of the Three Phantom Demons..."

As Principal Samejima sighed, everyone glanced at the old man not far away with lingering fear and shook their heads slightly.

But at this moment, although a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, Jun Manjou, dressed in a blue [Obelisk Blue] uniform-like trench coat, immediately spoke with a cold expression:

"However... even so... when it comes to completely annihilating our elven power... such an outcome would be self-destruction..."

Following the black-haired boy's words, everyone was slightly taken aback before immediately echoing his sentiments:

"To murder all the card spirits in the world for his own desires... Every duelist has a duty to stop him!"

...

Soon, accompanied by the sighs of "Jellyfish Head" Jaden Yuki, at this moment, the [Three Phantom Demons] were once again completely suppressed by the power of Yuuki's [Heavenly Thunder-Azeus].

So at this moment, the forest fire that had been raging under the demonic flames gradually subsided, and the scene, which had been deathly silent... though still withered and desolate, began to show a hint of life as the purple mist that had enveloped everything dissipated...

The sky, which had been obscured by dark clouds, instantly cleared up, and the distant sunset glowed with vibrant colors...

"The power of the card spirits has been fully restored!"

Realizing what was happening immediately, I took out my [Disruption] and saw several ugly but cute little guys seemingly smiling at me from within the card art.

Manjou Jun also cheered with immediate delight.

In that instant, whether it was Jaden Yuki, Asuka Tenjouin, or Ryo Marufuji, they all subconsciously pulled out their own decks.

"My... [HEROs] have recovered too..."

"That's right, the power of the Cyber ​​Dragon has returned!"

"【Electronic Angel】..."

...

"so--"

Seeing that the crisis seemed to have completely passed, Principal Samejima's serious expression eased slightly, but the next second he looked at the scattered [Three Phantom Demons] deck and said nervously:

"This kind of evil power that can completely confuse the mind should be completely sealed away!"

But soon, facing Principal Samejima's stern voice, Yuuki, having won the battle, calmly shook his head as he put his cards back in their box and collected his Duel Disk.

“No, Principal Samejima, this [Three Phantom Demons] deck is my spoils of war. Neither the Duel Academy nor you personally have any right to dispose of it.”

...

As Yu Feng spoke in a detached and unyielding tone, Principal Samejima's originally serious expression flickered with unease, and he looked at Yu Feng with surprise.

"Even so... after witnessing the terrifying power of the Three Phantom Demons, does Director Youfeng still not intend to change his mind?"

Faced with Principal Samejima's questioning, Yuuka smiled and shook his head, picking up the scattered [Three Phantom Demons] deck one by one:

"Hmm... Whether it's the Three Phantom Demons or the Three Phantom Gods, as long as they can be used by me, they are important powers."

As he watched Yuuki completely rearrange the deck and stuff it into his card box, Principal Samejima looked at this duelist with a level of power that far exceeded his imagination, and sighed helplessly:

"...That's what you say, but even if Director Youfeng is going to be our enemy, are you still going to insist on taking the [Three Phantom Demons]?"

...

But just as Principal Samejima's face was filled with hesitation and entanglement, everyone immediately reacted after checking their own decks.

Seeing the differences in understanding of cards between Principal Samejima and Yuuka, he gradually stepped forward.

As the guardians of this "Seven Stars" incident, Jaden Yuki, Ryo Marufuji, and the others exchanged glances, seemingly confirming their shared opinion. Jun Manjoume was the first to speak:

“Um… Principal Samejima, I’ve changed my mind—I’m not prepared to fulfill my duty of protection in the face of Yuuka-senpai.”

Just as the bald principal looked at Jun Manjoume with a surprised expression, Judai Yuki, Ryo Marufuji, Asuka Tenjōin, and the others immediately nodded in agreement.

"...rather than leaving the Three Phantom Demons sealed here...there might be someone with ulterior motives who could reactivate them later..."

"Why not let Senior Youfeng, who can completely suppress his power, hold it!"

"After all, to obtain the [Three Phantom Demons], one must defeat Senior Youfeng, which is probably quite difficult to achieve, isn't it?"

"..."

Soon, seeing Jaden Yuki's very serious expression, Principal Samejima hesitated for a moment before giving up any objections and jogged away to direct everyone in repairing the shattered Duel Academy.

"Ah~"

As he let out a soft sigh, Jun Manjou crossed his arms and coldly watched the "jellyfish-headed" boy, Judai Yuki, and said with a hint of mockery:

"Duel Academy has been set on fire twice, once by Jaden Yuki and once by Chairman Kagemaru... It seems the cost and time required for repairs will be considerable..."

"Maybe we'll have to attend the class too..."

...

Soon after hearing Banjou Jun's voice, Yuki Jaden instantly put on the "pain mask":

"What... Manjoume-kun... you knew about that battle with Fubuki-senpai..."

"If we're really talking about arson, it should be Fubuki-senpai..."

But the next second, seeing the sudden, enigmatic gaze from Tenjōin Asuka, Yuki Jūdai immediately changed his tune:

"No...it's Darkness's fault...it has nothing to do with Fubuki-senpai..."

"..."

The next second, looking at Jaden Yuki scratching his head and smiling, Yuuka pondered the "jellyfish-headed" boy's earlier statement that "maybe someone with ulterior motives might reactivate him later," and then shook his head helplessly:

"Your prediction was spot on..."

"But is it possible that the person with ulterior motives... is your wife...?"

...

After defeating the Three Phantom Demons, Yufeng, at the request of Principal Samejima, led all the students back to their respective dormitories.
