The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

Upon hearing this, Jaden curled the corners of his lips and replied, "Of course, although your deck-targeting strategy has hampered my play, that alone cannot destroy my fighting spirit."

So he played his third spell card: "Spell Card [Miracle Fusion] activated! Banish Fusion Materials from the Graveyard and Summon a new Elemental HERO!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

"The fusion condition is an Element HERO monster plus a LIGHT monster. I will exclude Element HERO Liquidman and the LIGHT Element HERO Flashman for fusion."

The two monsters suddenly appeared on the field and merged into two energies, releasing a dazzling light.

"Fusion Summon! Appear, [Elemental HERO Flashman]!"

The next moment, the light faded, and a radiant white warrior descended, with a golden halo resembling the sun floating behind him.

【Elemental Heroes: Flash Hero - Attack Power 2600】

Seeing this, Misawa clicked his tongue inwardly: "Another monster summoned by a special fusion method. You are indeed troublesome... but this monster alone is not enough to defeat my monster."

"is it?"

Jaden's lips curled up slightly, then he raised his voice: "Flashman's monster effect is that when you have an Elemental HERO monster banished, that monster's ATK increases by 300 points for each one banished."

"I defeated three monsters in total, so Flashy Man's attack power increased by 900 points."

[Elemental Heroes: Flash Hero - Attack Power 2600 → 3500]

Upon seeing another hero with a high attack power, Misawa's pupils contracted: "3500 attack power, another powerful monster with attack power exceeding that of [Water Dragon]..."

Chapter 46 Heroic Transformation - Reflector

Misawa felt somewhat helpless. He had just painstakingly defeated a powerful monster, but now he had easily summoned another one, making him feel like his [Sealing Demon Seal] had been in vain.

Jaden, of course, had no idea what he was thinking. At this moment, he shouted loudly, "I will activate Liquid Man's special effect once again. When this monster is banished as Fusion Material, I will draw two more cards from my Deck and then discard one card."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 2]

After finishing, he immediately launched an attack: "Battle begins! [Elemental Hero Flash] attacks [Water Dragon]!"

At his command, Flashman spread his arms and unleashed a sun-like beam of light centered on the warrior.

"Ugh...ahhh..."

Because the light was too dazzling, everyone, including Misawa, instinctively reached out to shield their eyes.

The next second, one of the water dragons was pierced by the flash.

boom--! !

The water dragon, unable to maintain its shape, instantly shattered.

Misawa Daichi: LP2600→1900

The light completely faded only after the monster was defeated.

"That concludes my turn."

Judai didn't set any cards and simply ended his turn.

"Well done, Judai!"

"You're pretty good too, Misawa!"

Misawa said with a serious expression, "But my deck's power hasn't been fully unleashed yet, so let's see how my luck turns out!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 1 → 2]

"I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] from my hand and draw two cards from my Deck."

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 2 → 3]

Misawa glanced at the two cards he had drawn, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face: 'Finally, my last trump card.'

He inserted one of the cards directly into the Duel Disk: "Then I'll activate the Spell Card [Preparation for the Ritual]."

Choose 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck, and then choose 1 Ritual Monster from your Deck or Graveyard whose name is listed on that Ritual Spell Card. Add those 2 cards to your hand.

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 3 → 2]

"I added the Ritual Spell 'The Death Ritual of Litmus' and its corresponding Ritual Monster 'The Death Swordsman of Litmus' to my hand."

After identifying the two target cards from his deck, he immediately revealed them together.

"Ritual Spell [Litmus Death Ritual] activated. By offering monsters whose total Level is 8 or higher as tribute, I offer [Water Dragon] on the field."

As the ceremony began, an altar emitting electric current rose up behind him.

"Ritual summoning of the [Death Swordsman of Litmus]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, golden light emanated from the top of the stone tablet on the altar.

The next second, the water dragon's figure was swallowed by light, and a European-style dual-wielding swordsman appeared.

[Litmus Death Swordsman: Attack Power 0]

Upon seeing this monster enter the field, Jaden frowned slightly: "Summoning this monster in Attack Position means that Misawa, you have a Trap Card in your hand?"

Misawa smiled and replied, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. Just like you said, I happen to have a trap card in my hand."

"As long as there is a trap card on the field, the attack and defense of [Litmus Death Swordsman] will each increase by 3000 points."

"Furthermore, this monster is unaffected by Trap Card effects and cannot be destroyed by battle."

"Therefore, I will cover two more cards, and the turn ends."

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 2 → 0]

Watching him simply face down his two cards, Jaden thought to himself, 'A fake trap... whatever, there's only one confirmed trap in there anyway.'

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 3]

'This is......'

Upon seeing his hand, Judai's pupils contracted. He glanced at his other hand and suddenly had a plan.

After putting down the card, he immediately waved his arm and shouted, "Battle begins! [Elemental HERO Flashman] attacks [Lime Death Swordsman]!"

Upon receiving the order, Flash immediately ducked and rushed to the opposite side, while at the same time, Stonefist also rushed forward.

"Knowing there's a trap, you still dare to attack? Then I won't hold back..."

With that, Misawa pressed the button on the face-down card: "Open face-down card, activate the Continuous Trap [Skill Drain]!"

"This card requires 1000 Life Points to activate. As long as this card is on the field, all monster effects on the field are negated."

Misawa Daichi: LP1900→900

"Due to the effect of [Skill Drain], Flashy Man's attack power, which had been nullified, has returned to normal."

[Elemental Heroes: Flash Hero - Attack Power 3500 → 2600]

"At the same time, because the [Death Swordsman of Litmus] is not affected by the effects of trap cards, and with the presence of trap cards, its attack and defense become 3000 points."

[Litmus Death Swordsman: Attack 0 → 3000, Defense 0 → 3000]

The difference in attack power between the two sides was instantly reversed.

But just then, Jaden burst out laughing: "Sorry, Misawa! This is exactly the moment I've been waiting for!"

He quickly drew a card from his hand and revealed it, "Quick-Play Spell [Bubble Illusion] activated!"

【Elemental HERO Bubble Fighter】Can only be activated while it is face-up on your field. This turn, you can activate 1 Trap Card from your hand.

"What?! It's a trap card activated from my hand?!"

Before Misawa could react, the two monsters had already met.

*Sizzle!*

In an instant, the Stone Swordsman's twin blades pierced through Flashman's body.

[Yujo Jaden: LP700→300]

It's now!

Jaden then played the card he had drawn that turn.

"At that very moment, I activated the Trap Card [Hero Change - Reflector] from my hand!"

This effect can be activated when an Elemental HERO Fusion Monster on your field is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to 300 times the Level of the destroyed Fusion Monster.

【Yujo Judai Hand Ear∏/[＄^4 Shirt¤，%｝泤TransferＱ﵅:Card：3→1】

"Oops!!"

Upon hearing the effect of the trap card, Misawa's expression changed drastically.

At this moment, Jaden pointed at the pierced Flashman and continued, "Because Flashman's level is eight, it has caused you a total of 2400 points of massive damage!"

The next moment, the hidden energy within Flashman became uncontrollable, instantly transforming into a luminous body and unleashing a destructive and intense flash of light.

boom--! ! !

The violent explosion of light instantly blinded everyone.

"Uhhhhhh-!!!"

The burst of damage instantly wiped out Misawa's remaining health.

Misawa Daichi: LP900→0

Chapter Forty-Seven: Lightning Returns from Hell

As the duel ended, applause erupted and everyone cheered.

In the audience, Kaiser Ryo turned and left: "Even after being calculated, he couldn't be defeated. As expected of Judai."

Asuka's face lit up with joy, and she nodded in agreement: "Yes."

Just then, Principal Samejima, who was sitting in the front row, stood up, raised his left hand, and announced: "The winner is Judai Yuki of Osiris Red!"

"Congratulations, you are now our representative from the Duel Academy."

And so, the college representative was finally chosen.

"Judai, congratulations!" Misawa walked slowly to Judai and spoke to him. "I wasn't prepared enough, so one day I will find a way to defeat you."

Judai smiled confidently, "Then you'll be disappointed. I won't stop here; I'll only get stronger."

Misawa shook his head. "Then I'll keep chasing after it."

He is a theoretical duelist; all he can do is constantly analyze his opponents, so he will not change his approach.

"Okay, then I'll look forward to it!"

After saying that, Jaden flicked his right index finger and exclaimed, "We won!"

Misawa extended his right hand: "What an interesting duel."

"Huh? You stole my lines?"

"Yes."

Judai didn't mind, and lowered his hand to grasp the other's hand.

""Ha ha ha ha!!""

The two, who shared a mutual appreciation, burst into laughter.

......

Today is the day to welcome the delegation from universities in northern China.

Everyone was waiting at the dock for the arrival of the representatives.

"Hey!"

"Did you hear that?"

"The representatives from Northern College seem to be very strong this year."
