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

Soon, with his huge advantage of having a 4000 ATK Tire Dragon on the field, and since the [Chimera Fortress Dragon] cannot be used as material for [Fusion] Summon, Ryo Marufuji was not afraid that the 4000 ATK Tire Dragon would be rolled over by Yuuki immediately.

In an instant, feeling exhilarated, he ended his turn.

"Hmm...looks like you think you've got this in the bag, Caesar..."

Seeing the confident look on his opponent's face, Youfeng smiled and shook his head, reaching for his Duel Disk to prepare to draw a card.

At this very moment, Marufuji Ryo, Yuuki's opponent, also revealed a confident smile to Yuuki once again:

"That's right... Senior... Although saying this might make you think I'm not humble, as a successor of the [Cyber ​​School], based on my understanding of [Cyber ​​Dragons], I believe you have no hope left..."

...

Meanwhile, upon hearing his beloved student, Ryo Marufuji, who was also the representative of Duel Academy's fighting strength, say this, Principal Samejima nodded solemnly, though he hesitated for a moment.

Professor Chronos, standing beside him, instantly clenched his fists, almost leaping off the ground:

"Hahahaha! You're really something! No wonder you're one of the genius duelists that our Duel Academy is focusing on developing... Ryo, prove to Mr. Yufeng that our Duel Academy's theories are also incredibly advanced!"

Soon, accompanied by Professor Chronos's hearty laugh, everyone nodded in response, slightly disappointed.

...

The next second, as Marufuji Ryo, who was craning his neck and waiting for his opponent's move, focused all his attention on the duel arena, Yuuki pointed his finger first into his own graveyard:

"Although I don't have any monsters on my field right now, I can activate the effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon Core]: If there are monsters on my opponent's field, banish this card from my Graveyard and Special Summon 1 [Cyber ​​Dragon] monster from my Deck."

Soon, with the command of the Wind Dash deck, the [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] was immediately banished from the game.

Then, Yufeng opened his main deck again and Special Summoned a card that represented his power, [Cerba Drogon], to his field in face-up Defense Position. After setting a card in his back row, he chose to end his turn quickly.

"My turn is over."

...

In that instant, sensing that Yuuki's expression was unmoved as he quickly sealed the card, Marufuji's gray eyes beneath his bright blue hair flickered slightly before he smiled and nodded.

"...I know how terrifying it would be if Mr. Yufeng were to struggle on the brink of death and unleash his ultimate power, so...let me settle this once and for all in this round—my turn, draw a card!"

Soon after completing the card draw, Ryo Marufuji immediately played his classic "Cyber ​​Dragon Core," the starting point for the "Cyber ​​Dragon" combo, onto the field:

"Next, I will directly summon this [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] in face-up Attack Position and immediately search for a [Cyber ​​Emergency Call]!"

As the small, crimson Machine-Type Cyber ​​Dragon lower-level monster flashed and activated its effect, Kaiser Ryo quickly retrieved a "Cyber ​​Emergency Call" from his deck, describing a rapidly crashing plane sending out a distress signal. He then immediately played it and drew a "Cyber ​​Dragon" from his deck!

After a brief period of planning, Ryo Marufuji immediately drew another basic Fusion Monster card from his hand:

“Mr. Yufeng, I know that the Kite Robot can block one more attack for you, and the Cyber ​​Dragon in Defense Position has the same effect, which means... it would take at least three consecutive hits to defeat you!”

"Now, I will use the Cyber ​​Dragon Core, which can be considered a Cyber ​​Dragon on the field, and the Cyber ​​Dragon I just retrieved through Cyber ​​Emergency Call, as fusion materials to perform a fusion summon—"

"Come forth, double the power! Sublimate the power of the Electronic Style with dual forms! Fusion Summon, Level 8! [Electronic Twin Dragons]!"

In an instant, as the fusion magic vortex dissipated, a massive, gleaming silver metallic dragon crackling with raging lightning appeared, brandishing two nearly identical, powerful [Sebadorgon] heads, poised to unleash a fierce attack at any moment, standing proudly beside Marufuji Ryouji's [Chimera Fortress Dragon] on the field:

【Electronic Twin Dragons】

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 8]

[Attack power: 2800]

[Defense: 2100]

"I'll remember this round; I'll hit you three times in a row!"

Soon, Marufuji Ryo's impassioned voice, which seemed to embody the words "spirited and vigorous," reached its peak in this round, showcasing his desire and obsession with victory.

...

But the next second, before Marufuji Ryo could even enter the battle phase, Yuuka immediately waved his hand, making a gesture that said, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"Wait a minute, Caesar Ryo... We can't let you win yet!"

"Next, I will directly open this Quick-Play Spell card that was set in the last turn - Enemy Manipulator from the back row."

In an instant, as the magic card depicting the game console controller was flipped open from behind Yufeng, a traditional Nintendo game controller immediately rose up in front of Yufeng.

At this moment, Marufuji Ryo, who was confident of victory, suddenly turned pale.

At the same time, everyone recognized this card that appeared very frequently:

"This card... I remember it belonged to the company president..."

Amidst the nostalgic gazes of Asuka Tenjouin and the others, Yuuka immediately nodded:

"That's right... This [Quick-Play Spell] card that the president often uses can be activated by Tributing 1 monster you control and targeting 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. You gain control of that face-up monster until the End Phase..."

"This powerful Minotaur effect!"

"Next, I will release the [Cyber ​​Dragon] in my field and directly obtain your [Chimera Fortress Dragon] - Up, Down, Left, Right, ABAB!"

In an instant, following the strange commands input by Yufeng, the terrifying chimera mechanical dragon with an attack power of 4000 points instantly entered Yufeng's field from Marufuji Ryo's field.

...

"Ah~"

Seeing his seemingly crucial point of victory ruthlessly snatched away by the opponent, even the calm and composed Marufuji Ryo let out a howl of resentment at this moment.

Meanwhile, Jaden Yuki, who had just fought Yuuki, shook his head with lingering fear.

"【Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite】...【Enemy Manipulator】... Senior Yuuka seems to be... quite enthusiastic about Minos..."

"If I get crushed by her too many times when we fight, my [HERO] deck will probably start acting weird..."

"The sense of synergy between decks..."

...

Soon, accompanied by Jaden Yuki's "warning" muttering, Ryo Marufuji, who was unable to get past his own [Chimera Fortress Dragon] on the field, had no choice but to temporarily end his turn!

"My turn is over... Senior..."

Along with Marufuji Ryo's barely concealed slight frustration, Yuuka also shook his head, saying with a "serious" expression:

"Young man, you're still young, you need to learn to be more mature..."

For example, right now—

Soon, amidst laughter and conversation, Youfeng swiftly entered the card draw phase. After drawing and playing a [Cyber ​​Dragon Core], Youfeng again utilized the [Cyber ​​Dragon Core]'s effect of being considered a [Cyber ​​Dragon] on the field, immediately pulling out his [Extra Deck] and opting for a "rolling" strategy:

"Come on, be a good boy, let me roll the tire first—"

As Yuufu played a Level 8 monster card with a deep crimson hue that was exactly the same as the one on Marufuji's field, the Cyber ​​Twin Dragon, which Marufuji had traded three cards for in the previous turn, was immediately drawn into the swirling Fusion spell vortex on the field, along with the Cyber ​​Dragon Core that Yuufu had summoned in the front row.

A colossal metallic mechanical dragon, resembling a series of crimson fortresses, also appeared in the exact same form as the tire dragon that Ryo Marufuji had displayed:

[Chimeric Fortress Dragon]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: Dark]

【Level: 8】

[Attack power: 0→2000]

[Defense: 0]

"This is called reciprocity, this is called social etiquette!"

Soon, accompanied by Youfeng Youyou's teasing voice, in an instant, only two identical Tire Dragons remained in the front-row monster zones of these two powerful [Electronic Style] duelists, staring at each other in bewilderment.

[Chimera Fortress Dragon]: ? ? ?

[Chimera Fortress Dragon]: ? ? ?

...

"I knew it! A Cyber ​​Dragons player-versus-player war would be nothing short of a wheel-rolling match... This is just too dramatic!"

Soon, under Asuka Tenjouin's helpless gaze...

Seeing his hard-earned advantage instantly reversed, Ryo Marufuji, looking at the Chimera Fortress Dragon that had devoured the 4000 ATK of [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite] in his field, still clenched his fist in a defiant manner:

"But senior, although we are both [Tire Dragons], my attack power is twice that of yours... Plus, you only have half health left, so the extra 2000 points of damage is already enough to finish you off!"

...

But the next second, faced with Marufuji Ryo's slight protest, Yuuka immediately gathered his emotions again and played out the last card in his hand:

"It's alright, Ryo Marufuji. Next, I will teach you the ultimate secret of the [Cyber ​​Style] - I will activate the [Continuous Spell] card [Future Fusion] from my hand."

At that very moment, everyone in the auditorium, as well as the club president Seto Kaiba who was watching Yuuki's every move on the monitor screen, saw the handsome young man before them, his nimble fingers drawing almost an entire thick deck of cards from his silver-white duel disk and holding it high above his head:

"Next, I fucking destroyed the entire deck!"

72. Marufuji Ryo: Did you pull this dragon from your crotch?

"Again?!"

Upon witnessing this absolutely iconic scene unfold in the Duel Academy's main hall, and observing the moment through the surveillance cameras, Seto Kaiba, the president of the Kaiba Corporation, was so surprised that he slapped the table in front of him.

Some long-forgotten events, yet still lingering in his mind, flashed vividly back into his thoughts:

"Back then... in the Duel City tournament... I lost to this kid because of that one move..."

"However, even if you can withstand Marufuji Sho's current offensive on the field, you won't have any card resources to win, right?"

"Youfeng... how exactly are you planning to win?"

...

Soon, accompanied by the president's intrigued scrutiny, in the Duel Academy's arena, Yuuki, who was engaged in this battle, played the [Continuous Magic] card, which depicted a beam of fusion magic gathered from countless tall buildings.

At that very moment, he raised the cards he was holding high, and in a dazzling display like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, Yu Feng sent almost all the cards in his deck to the graveyard.

At this moment, even Ryo Marufuji, Yuuki's opponent and known as "Kaiser of Duel Academy," nodded with a sigh, gazing respectfully at his senior before him.

"This sense of power—the feeling of being reborn from the brink of death, the overwhelming sense of strength—truly aligns perfectly with the [Electronic School's] reverence for power!"
