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

...

Soon, at this moment of great attention, Yuuki immediately entered the battle phase, preparing to use [Cerbadorgon] to launch the first attack on the blue-armored [E-HERO Sky Warrior] in the field of Jaden Yuki. Meanwhile, the silver-white traditional [Cyber ​​Dragon] on the field was bathed in light, and a huge beam of light was gathering in its mouth.

Jaden Yuki finally seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and opened the card that had been lying face down in his back row:

"Now, Mr. Yufeng, you have three monster cards on your field: [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite], [Cyber ​​Dragon - Next Generation], and [Cyber ​​Dragon], plus [E-HERO Sky Warrior] on my field, making a total of four monsters on the field..."

At that moment, upon hearing Jaden Yuki's eerie voice, Yuuka's expression tightened instantly. He looked at the face-down card in the opponent's back row that had lit up due to the timing with some surprise, and a faint sense of "ominousness" crept into his mind.

"Mr. Wind: At this very moment, the activation conditions for my [Normal Trap] card [Ceiling] are met: It can only be activated if there are 4 or more monsters on the field. Destroy all face-up monsters!"

Soon, under Jaden Yuki's confident expression, the "jellyfish head" hairstyle trembled slightly, and a red light representing a trap card appeared in front of him. A scene of waiting for intruders to enter the room and be stabbed or crushed, with needles falling from the ceiling, immediately appeared above Yuuki and Jaden Yuki's heads as the [Trap] card was activated, threatening [HERO] and [Cyber ​​Dragon].

Yu Feng's face instantly darkened: "You son of a bitch... how did your [HERO] deck even print this card...?"

...

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Good grief, the other side flipped the table! Youfeng... you've finally met your match!"

Soon after witnessing this scene, Katsuya Jonouchi, who was establishing a video call on the big screen, immediately burst into laughter, his face full of schadenfreude. This prompted Anzu Masaki to helplessly pull the exaggeratedly expressive "yellow-haired boy" aside.

"...This still seems to be a non-targeting destructive effect... It seems that Jaden Yuki's confidence comes entirely from this powerful face-down card..."

At this moment, Marufuji Ryo also nodded with a visibly brightened expression, nodding again and giving Yuki Judai's "jellyfish head" hairstyle one last appreciative look:

"It seems that because he's facing a strong opponent like Mr. Youfeng, he specifically included this kind of card—being able to flip the table at the right time to show it to the opponent really tests one's mentality and courage!"

...

Meanwhile, Marufuji Ryo, who is known as "the Caesar of Duel Academy" and is the strongest duelist in the Duel Academy, also received recognition.

Professor Chronos, who already held a very bad impression of Jaden Yuki due to his poor written test score and lateness, now had a slightly gloomy and uncertain expression on his face.

"Damn it, this kid actually managed to reach this level against Mr. Youfeng... He completely underestimated him... Hmph! It must be luck, he's clearly just a poor student..."

...

The next second, just when everyone thought that Jaden Yuki's table-flipping plan had worked and had completely forced Yuuki to switch from offense to defense.

You Feng immediately smiled and shook his head:

“I truly admire your resilience, Jaden Yuki—but it’s time for all of this to come to an end.”

"If it were a Counter Trap card that could force me to give in at this moment, I might have had no choice but to play it face down... But unfortunately it wasn't... and in that instant, my victory was completely secured!"

Soon, while speaking, Youfeng immediately pointed his finger at the [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite] on the field and activated its effect:

"Now, by linking to your [Ceiling] card, I will directly activate the second effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite] on the field: Once per turn, when a card's effect is activated, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it."

"Now I will remove one [E-HERO Flame Wingman] card that I absorbed from your field as the cost for this effect!"

In an instant, as Yuuki opened the stacked [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite], removing a card and sending it directly to Jaden Yuki's graveyard, the final evolved [Cyberdragon] on the field immediately emitted another electronic hiss:

"roar~"

The trap card that Jaden Yuki had just opened on the field, which had a "luring the enemy into a trap" feel to it, immediately turned gray. First, its effect was negated, and then it was immediately blown up and sent to the graveyard.

...

Jaden Yuki: "...Uh..."

Soon, seeing his sudden counterattack easily and completely neutralized by his opponent, the "jellyfish-headed" boy, Yuki Jaden, immediately scratched his head and shook it somewhat mindlessly:

"That Cyber ​​Dragon Xyz Monster actually possesses such immense power?"

"It seems that no matter how much we scheme, victory over Mr. Youfeng is an unattainable dream..."

"...If it were Mr. Jonouchi on the other side, I might actually have a slight chance of winning this time?"

...

At this moment, accompanied by the faint voice of Yuki Jaden, the person who was originally amazed by Yuki's [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite] was able to not only have the powerful effect of being able to overpower the opponent once per turn, but also the powerful effect of being able to counter three colors. In that instant, the person's expression wavered slightly in admiration.

Katsuya Jonouchi was also momentarily stunned, frowning as he cast his gaze across the screen at Jaden Yuki:

"Hey, jellyfish head, what nonsense are you spouting? Do you think I'm someone to be trifled with?"

Amidst the chorus of protests within the castle, Yuuka, unusually, stepped forward and spoke up for Jonouchi:

"...Hmm...to reach the third-highest ranking in the world through gambling, Jonouchi must have some skill to some extent..."

Katsuya Jonouchi: ...Yuuka, you'd better be praising me...

...

Soon, as Katsuya Jonouchi's face darkened in the video, Kyoko Masaki also let out a "poof" and revealed a slight smile.

The tense atmosphere on the field was eased a little, but even at this moment when the battle was still in progress, Youfeng continued his attack!

"Alright, let's go! Since there are no monsters on the opponent's field, I can launch a direct attack!"

"【Sebatoragon】!"

"The Light of Evolution!"

In an instant, accompanied by the surging power of the silver-white metallic dragon race, a huge beam of light mixed with electricity shot out, like a cannonball, directly towards the opponent.

Jaden Yuki also crossed his arms, took a deep breath, and nervously assumed a defensive stance.

With a loud bang,

"Ah~"

With this powerful attack, Jaden Yuki was forced back two steps by the sequential assault, and the electric current that permeated his body quickly gathered on the top of his head.

The next second, everyone even smelled a burnt smell, and when they looked at Jaden Yuki again, his "jellyfish head" hairstyle had completely turned into an "afro".

"Pfft, haha~"

Soon, at this solemn moment, the teachers and students of Duel Academy, led by Tenjouin Asuka, were suddenly filled with laughter in the huge dueling arena.

At that very moment, because the attack had a power of 2100 points, and because of the first turn, Jaden Yuki had also paid a full 2000 LP points due to the "Hero Arrives" skill. With this attack, his LP points were completely wiped out, and he lost the duel.

[Yujo Tendai: LP2000→0! ]

...

"Yufeng... Yufeng-senpai's [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite] truly... elevates the entire [Cyber ​​Style] deck to a whole new level, on another dimension!"

At this moment, watching the magnificent figure of the winning card [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite], which played a monster and negated the opponent's effect, Ryo Marufuji stared intently at this powerful [Cyber ​​Dragon], his eyes filled with a hint of envy.

"If...if I could also possess that kind of power..."

At the same time, along with Marufuji Ryo's sigh, Jun Banjou, who was also wearing the [Obelisk-Blue] academy uniform in the audience on the first floor, also took a breath and sighed softly:

"...Using a card borrowed from the opponent's field to counter them, that's really killing them psychologically..."

Then, the black-haired Manjoume Jun immediately glanced at the embarrassed Yuki Jaden in the arena with some sympathy, and shook his head with a hint of pity:

"Hmm...that candidate number 110, Yuki Jaden...I guess his confidence has been completely shattered, right?"

...

The instant Manjoume Jun finished speaking, Yuki Judai, looking extremely dejected, immediately shook his head helplessly:

"Hmm... I'm not good at written exams, and now I've lost the duel... It looks like I'm completely out of luck for this year's entrance exam..."

But soon, after a brief moment of frustration, Jaden Yuki, holding his [HERO] deck, immediately regained his confidence, raised his fist, and declared as if making a vow:

"However... Mr. Youfeng, I will still come next year... I will try again and again until I can defeat Mr. Youfeng and officially enroll!"

Soon, seeing the determination and courage in Jaden Yuki's eyes, Yuuka smiled and nodded.

"So, Judai... in the time ahead of you studying... you'd better be prepared to be randomly checked and interrogated by me at any time..."

"Huh?! Mr. Youfeng, you... you passed my test?!"

Instantly, Jaden Yuki was also plunged into a state of ecstatic joy.

Yuuki slowly closed his Duel Disk, walked up to Jaden Yuki, whose face was full of excitement, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Hmm...but we'll start with [Osiris - Red]~"

...

Meanwhile, witnessing Yuuki's dashing departing figure, Marufuji Ryo's eyes flickered slightly:

"It seems... I must visit Mr. Youfeng immediately... if I am fortunate enough to become his disciple..."

67. Pure Dragon Brilliance, with an external set of electronic dragons.

With Marufuji Ryo's expectant gaze upon him, Yuuki, after completing his duel with Yuuki Jaden, immediately chose to leave the dueling arena.

Jaden Yuki, who had previously given up all hope of getting any information about the entrance exam, immediately had a look of surprise in his eyes:

"Well~ if that's the case, then, Senior Yuuka, I'll definitely work hard to improve!"

Soon, amidst the excited voices of Jaden Yuki, who sported a "jellyfish head" hairstyle, he also waved his arms, looking somewhat agitated.

This instantly caused Professor Chronos, who was on the podium and had essentially been indirectly "slapped in the face," to grit his teeth and glare hatefully at Jaden Yuki.

"Hmph... Even if you got lucky and were chosen by Mr. Yuuki, a bad student is still a bad student! Candidate number 110... Yuuki Judai... I won't let you get away with this!"

Even so, since the competition had already been approved by Yuuki, Professor Chronos had no reason not to let Yuuki Jaden pass this entrance exam. Reluctantly, he stamped the "Pass" mark on the application form with Jaden's picture on it.

...

Afterwards, although there were still a few bottom-ranked duelists, at this moment, with the departure of Yu Feng and Professor Chronos, the people on the stage also left in small groups, leaving only one staff member to review the remaining few, who were truly "bad students".

"However, it seems that you can always find gems among the so-called 'poor students'!"

"Although Jaden Yuki lost this duel, judging from his performance, he certainly deserves to fight Mr. Yuuka!"

Soon, under Asuka Tenjouin's slightly flickering gaze, Jun Manjoume, who was surrounded by a crowd on the first floor, also shook his head with a gloomy expression:

"Asuka... a bad student is a bad student... Miracles might happen out of nowhere, but they won't happen twice or three times..."

"That guy named Jaden Yuki... very good. After he officially joins the Duel Academy, I will personally teach him a lesson—what a true duel really is!"

"..."

At that moment, one could clearly hear the surging resentment in Manjou Jun's competitive voice, and his obvious frustration at not having the opportunity to duel the legendary duelist Yuuka.

Asuka Tenjouin smiled slightly, and at that moment, everyone turned their gaze to the direction where Yuuka had just gone...

...
