"It's not over yet! I'm going to activate this [Ultimate Evolution Drug] in my hand again. This card can only be activated by banishing one Dinosaur-Type monster and one non-Dinosaur-Type monster from my hand and Graveyard." Kenzan played a card from his hand. "What I banished are this Dinosaur-Type monster [Jewel Beast - Operational Dragon] that I just sent to my Graveyard as Fusion Material, and this Winged Beast-Type monster [Archaeopteryx - Ancient Bird] from my hand!"

"Special Summon a Level 7 or higher Dinosaur-Type monster from my Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions!"

"The monster I Special Summoned is this one, a Level 9☆ [Jurassic Giant Beast]!"

A burst of raging flames filled the gap that had just appeared on the Sword Mountain field, and a massive monster, as large as a moving volcano, emerged from the flames, dominating the entire field!

"Attack power, 3300 points!? That even surpasses the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon, that dinosaur!" Marufuji Sho exclaimed from the sidelines.

Kenzan was quite satisfied with Marufuji Sho's reaction: "That's right, just like that. Behold the majesty of the strongest dinosaur! Although it is a monster that cannot be specially summoned, this restriction is itself the 'summoning condition' of [Jurassic Giant Beast], which will be ignored by [Ultimate Evolution Drug]."

"In addition to the resistances provided by [Jurassic World], [Jurassic Giant Beast] itself also has resistances to effect targets that do not exclude traps and effect targets, and its attack power is not at its limit and has room for improvement. If it continues to improve, it can even surpass the 4000-point mark!"

"Victory is secured! The very moment I summoned it into battle!"

“Not only are you incredibly fast when you deploy them, but you’re also very confident in your monsters, Kenzan.” The easygoing Jaden smiled, seemingly oblivious to Kenzan’s threat. “But just as you’re confident in your dinosaurs, I also believe that my [Heroes] are capable of creating miracles.”

"Exactly, those monsters are just unaffected by trap cards. Going first isn't anything special. Don't get cocky in front of your big brother." Marufuji Shoya was full of confidence in Jaden. "One Lightning Strike can solve it."

"No, that's impossible. Don't forget that [Phantom Creation Hybrid Dinosaur] that was retrieved by the effect of [Soul Eater Oviraptor], it's still in Dilano's hand." Misawa refuted Sho's words and explained, "That card can banish a large number of Dinosaur-Type monsters as a starting point for a combo when it's in the Graveyard, and it also has strong resistance by being discarded from the hand during both players' Main Phases to protect Dinosaur-Type monsters on the field from the effects of the opponent's activation."

Asuka continued, "In other words, by Judai's turn, he will be facing a group of powerful monsters with the same resistance as [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon], which cannot be easily dealt with by [Lightning Strike]. The only breakthrough is his own [E-Hero Golden Blade]. As for Judai, I guess it will be difficult for him to be too ruthless towards his own monsters."

"He seems rough around the edges, but he's calculated every aspect and left his monster with plenty of resistance. Hmph, he's in trouble now. Judai is facing a freshman a year below him." Manjoume crossed his arms, a smirk playing on his lips, looking like he was waiting for a good show.

Kenzan noticed that although everyone was talking about how powerful his monster was, it seemed like no one was worried about Jaden or believed that he could win.

“This strange confidence…” Kenzan muttered to himself, glancing at the two cards remaining in his hand. He then took one out and placed it face-down on the back field, saying, “Put one of my cards face-down on the back field, and my turn ends here.”

"Then it's your turn, Jaden Yuki, but you absolutely cannot defeat my dinosaurs. Their strength is beyond your reach!"

Seeing that Kenzan seemed to have finished his round, Edward in the distance also refocused his attention. To be honest, Kenzan's skill level was not bad. Entrance exam scores don't represent everything. Didn't you see that Jaden was only assigned to the Osiris-Red dormitory? Kenzan's duels were definitely of the Obelisk-Blue caliber.

However, comparisons are inevitable, especially when compared to someone like Edward, whose perspective has been spoiled by entering the professional dueling world at a young age. Edward usually sees many strong duelists, especially among professional duelists, there is Ryuzaki, the world's strongest dinosaur user. Edward has seen Ryuzaki's duels and even faced him a long time ago. However, even with [Blood Demon - D], [D·hero] was no match for Ryuzaki, and the result was, unsurprisingly, a complete victory for Ryuzaki.

Seeing Kenzan, who also uses a Dinosaur-type deck, Edward couldn't help but compare him to Ryuzaki. The conclusion was predictable: Edward felt that Kenzan's duels were somewhat immature and even pathetic. Although he was excellent, Edward still found them somewhat boring to watch.

Although both are Dinosaur-type decks and some combos are similar, Ryuzaki started with "A Clear Conscience" [Dinosaur Wrestler Pankrasin Ceratops], and Special Summoned [Ultimate Evolution Medicine] [Ultimate Conduction Beast]. Even during Fusion, he fused a Dinosaur-type deck called [Dinosaur Peptide], which is characterized by lowering his own Elemental Points. It is much stronger than Kenzan's immature deck.

In conclusion—practice is still essential.

Compared to Kenzan, a still inexperienced dinosaur user, Edward found himself much more interested in Jaden, especially what kind of hand cards Jaden had just sent to the graveyard. Although Edward was looking through binoculars, he couldn't see them clearly before Kenzan used [Hand Card Annihilation] to destroy all of Jaden's hand cards. Edward was really curious about what kind of hand cards Jaden had seen to make him make such an interesting expression.

"My turn, draw a card." Amidst the anticipation of everyone, including Edward, Jaden drew a card from his deck. He glanced at the card he had drawn and couldn't help but smile. "Hmm, I drew a pretty good card."

"So, during my Main Phase, I will activate the Normal Spell Card [Rough Man's Expectation]. This card can only be activated if I have no monsters on my field. It Special Summons one Normal Monster of Level 4 or lower from my Deck."

"The monster I want to Special Summon is this one, the Weapon Master from [E·hero] - [E·hero Electro]!"

On the stage of the tenth generation, the lightning burst forth and then contracted, bringing forth a hero of light wearing a tight-fitting suit and with a pert buttocks.

【E·hero Electric Lightning】】【ATK1600

"As E·hero himself describes himself, he is the most skilled warrior among E·heroes in using various weapons."

Although there are actually more support cards for [E·hero Nendoroid] and [E·hero Wingman], that's how it's written in the setting, so Jaden could only say, "And now, I'm going to equip [E·hero Electroman] with his special weapon—the [Electric Gun]!"

In the sky, a plane bearing the logo of "E·hero Bubble Man" swooped down and dropped a box in front of "E·hero Electric Man". "E·hero Electric Man" skillfully accepted the support from his companion with money powers and opened the box.

After the box was closed, he had a rather futuristic-looking gun in his hand. However, this gun did not have a magazine or anything like that. Instead, there were wires extending from the back of the gun and connecting to the arm of [E·hero Electroman]. It seemed to be charged by drawing electricity released by [E·hero Electroman].

"Although it is an Equip Spell Card, [Lightning Gun] does not increase the attack power of [E·hero Lightning Gun], but it can release an electric current to stimulate the target's muscles based on scientific principles and forcibly change the battle position of a face-up monster on the field during my Main Phase."

Jaden paused for a moment, then added, "However, since the [Lightning Gun] draws electricity from [E-Hero] to release it, it still has certain limitations. That is, it will destroy itself after releasing its effect three times."

"Are you trying to change the battle positions of the monsters on my field to exploit their weaker defenses?" Kenzan raised an eyebrow. "I won't let you do that! Activate the effect of this [Phantom Creation Hybrid Dinosaur] in my hand during both players' main phases!"

"I can only activate this effect by sending it from my hand to the graveyard, so that during this main phase, my Dinosaur-Type monsters will not be affected by effects activated by my opponent!"

Although it only lasts for one main phase, and the resistance disappears when the second main phase or even just entering the battle phase, it is still a pseudo-all-resistance like [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Terminator Dragon]. Almost instantly, the four Dinosaur-Type monsters on the Sword Mountain field were covered with blue light and gained resistance to all of Jaden's effects.

But Jaden raised an eyebrow: "But I didn't intend to use this effect on your Dinosaur-Type monster! The target of my [Lightning Gun] is—[E·Hero Golden Blade] on your field. However, at the same time, I also want to chain [Lightning Gun] to activate this Quick-Play Spell Card, [Defense Penalty]!"

"If I choose a monster on the field and change it to Defense Position this turn, I can draw one card from my Deck. The monster I choose is, of course, [E·Hero Golden Blade]!"

[E·hero Electro] raised the [Electric Gun] in his hand and shot a beam of electricity towards [E·hero Golden Blade], but before the [Electric Gun] changed its form due to its effect, the effect of [Defense Penalty] took effect first due to the chain's effect of being the last to act.

As [E·hero Golden Blade] shuddered from the electric shock and switched to defense position, Jaden also drew a card from his deck.

【E·hero Golden Blade】【ATK2600→DEF1800】

[Yujo Judai: 4000LP, hand size 3→4]

"It's not over yet! The effect of [Lightning Gun] can only be used three times, so I'll naturally use the effect of [Defense Penalty] twice more on [E.Hero Golden Blade] while [Defense Penalty] is still active!" Jaden said. "Then, [Lightning Gun] will be destroyed, and because [E.Hero Golden Blade] is back in defense position, I can draw another card!"

Stimulated by two consecutive [Lightning Gun] attacks, [E·hero Golden Blade] twitched like a street dancer, changing from defense position back to attack position and then back to defense position, while Jaden also drew a second card from his hand.

【E·hero Golden Blade】【DEF1800→ATK2600→DEF1800】

[Yujo Judai: 4000LP, hand size 4→5]

After completing the combo, Jaden played two cards after [Rough Man's Expectation]: [Lightning Gun] and [Defense Penalty], but he actually gained two more cards, so he didn't lose any cards at all. He also managed to change [E·Hero Golden Blade] on the field to Defense Position.

However, Jianshan, who was being teased, was very unhappy: "Are you treating me like some kind of monkey in a circus?!"

"How could that be? I was clearly controlling [E·hero Golden Blade], not the dinosaur you love so much on the field, Kenzan, right?" Jaden scratched his head and said innocently, "It's just that I happened to draw [Lightning Gun] and [Defense Penalty] in my hand, so I used this combo to change my hand."

"And it's not just these two cards, I'll also use this one." As he spoke, Jaden played a card and said, "Normal Spell Card, [Last Words] activated."

Although it was described casually, Jaden's "Last Will" was a genuinely banned card in another world, and an old one at that, only about six months after "Pot of Greed." Even here, Hayato had demonstrated the power of this card to many people, but because most people couldn't execute his combo of constantly Special Summoning monsters and then sending them to their deaths, this card remains unbanned and unrestricted to this day.

“During the turn I activate [Last Will], I can Special Summon one monster with 1500 or less ATK from my Deck to the field whenever a monster on my field is sent to the Graveyard. There is no limit to once per turn.” Jaden said, playing a card, “Activate [Horsebone Price] on my [E-Hero].”

"This card can only be activated by sending all face-up monsters on my field, except for Effect Monsters, to the Graveyard. Its effect is to draw two cards from my Deck. Draw!"

"And at the same time, due to the effect of [Last Will], I Special Summoned [E·hero]'s Red Dot - [E·hero Hot Girl] from my Deck!"

【E·hero Burst Girl】【3☆/Flame】

[Warrior/Normal]

[1200/800]

Jaden placed the card of [E·hero Burst Girl] horizontally on the Duel Disk and looked at Kenzan's field: "Just like [Lightning Gun] is the exclusive support card of [E·hero Lightning Man], each [E·hero] actually has its own support card."

"And this is the support card for [E·hero Burst Girl], [Burst Return]!"

Jaden played a card from his hand and said, "This Normal Spell Card can only be activated when I have a face-up [E-hero Burst Girl] on my field. The effect of [Burst Return] is to return all monsters on the field with the [E-hero] part in their name, except for [E-hero Burst Girl], to their owners' hands!"

Kenzan was taken aback and couldn't help but look at his 【E·hero Golden Blade】 on the field: "Constantly changing your cards, is the purpose really this, to take back your monsters? Just for this card?"

“A hero wouldn’t kill a comrade whose identity has been stolen, so even if it costs us a lot of cards, as long as we can get [E·hero Golden Blade] back.” Jaden wiped his nose, smiled, and then waved his hand. “So, return, [E·hero Golden Blade]!”

On the field, [E·hero Burst Girl] stomped her right foot, clad in a high heel, with her hands on her hips, causing a burst of flames to erupt from the ground. Under [E·hero Burst Girl's] unfriendly gaze, [E·hero Golden Blade], which had been taken by Kenzan earlier, hurriedly returned to Jaden's hand.

Jaden, whose hand still held five cards, then played another card that had appeared before: "Activate the Spell Card [Price of Horse Bones], send my Normal Monster [E-Hero Burst Girl] to the Graveyard, and I draw two cards from my Deck."

"And because I have another monster on my field sent to the Graveyard, due to the effect of [Last Will], I Special Summon this monster with 1500 or less ATK—[E·Hero Nendoroid] with 800 ATK—from my Deck in Defense Position!"

【E·hero Nendoroid】【4☆/Land】

"Next, with the third [Price of Horse Bones], I send the Normal Monster [E·Hero Clayman] to the Graveyard and Special Summon this monster with exactly 1500 ATK from my Deck in Attack Position!"

[Yujo Judai: 4000LP, hand cards 5→6→7]

The monsters on the field changed in a flurry. Even though Jaden hadn't even had a chance to use a Normal Summon this turn, nor had he used his usual cards like "Hero Arrival," he inexplicably managed to retrieve the stolen "E·hero Golden Blade," Special Summon monsters to the field, and even increase the size of his hand in reverse.

At this moment, the duel between the Jadens gave Manjoume and the others a rather subtle feeling.

"There's no [E·hero Sky Warrior], [E·hero Liquid Warrior] or anything like that, nor is there a combo like [E·hero Absolute Zero Warrior] turning into [M·hero Acid Water], but it feels really strange." Manjoume frowned. "And I can't quite put my finger on that feeling."

"A feeling of naturalness? It seems so, and at the same time, there's a strange sense of familiarity." Asuka also felt a strong sense of déjà vu, "But it doesn't feel like a duel to instruct new students."

Misawa was even more puzzled: "This is Jaden's first time dueling like this. His dueling style is not like this. But why does it feel so strangely familiar?"

While the other three were puzzled, Marufuji Sho, who often forgot the basics of dueling, revealed the secret: "It's Caesar's duel. Big Brother's current dueling style is extremely similar to Caesar's!"

"It's not Marufuji Ryo, nor is it Hell Caesar, but rather the Caesar Ryo who fought Principal Hayato in the final graduation model duel of the last school year!"

Unlike the others who were trying to fight alongside Judai, Marufuji Sho always stayed behind Judai, gazing at the backs of him and Marufuji Ryo, two people he had to look up to. This made him see things more clearly than Misawa and the others.

In the graduation model duel, Caesar broke through his previous limits and learned the skill of picking up all the cards from scratch and using them flexibly. Relatively "old" cards such as [Cyber ​​Laser Dragon] appeared one after another in his duel, but they exerted a more powerful force than when he used a combination of "Face Electro Flow" and "Inner Electro Flow". If his opponent had not been Principal Hayato's shameless complete blockade of [Pharaoh's Judgment], he would have shone even brighter.

At this moment, Jaden's duel bears some resemblance to Caesar's duel back then.

“You really understand me, Sho, hehe. I was really impressed by Caesar’s duel back then.” Judai smiled and nodded in agreement with Marufuji Sho’s answer. “During summer vacation, I was also thinking about whether I should try to start over from the beginning, like Caesar did. Maybe I could see different scenery.”

Although Dilano Kenzan had heard of "Hell Kaiser" Marufuji Ryo, who was shining brightly in the current professional dueling world, he didn't know much about him and was unclear about the specifics of the graduation model duel that the others were talking about. However, he was a little annoyed by Jaden's words: "You mean, you deliberately didn't use more powerful cards because you thought the duel with me was too boring and you held back?"
