Welcome to the Duel Academy where Yu-Gi-Oh appears

"Open the face card, [Skill Breakthrough], you can activate it by targeting 1 Effect Monster on your opponent's field, negating the effects of that opponent's monster until the end of the turn."

"Chain activates [Black Rose Sublimation], Special Summoning [Rose Tokens] (Plant-Type, Dark, Level 2, Attack/Defense 800) in Defense Position on your and your opponent's fields, up to the number of Field Spell Cards in both your Field Zones and the Graveyard."

Since both teams had [High Speed World 2] on their fields, Izayoi summoned two Rose Tokens on each of his and Ichinose's fields.

"Then I activate [Prayer to Save the Purifier]." If the only monster you control is a [Prayer to Save the Purifier] monster, you can pay 800 Life Points and target 1 card on your opponent's field or in their Graveyard, banishing that card."

"Afterwards, if you successfully Xyz Summon a Monster this turn, banish 1 card your opponent controls."

Ichinose:lp2000→lp1200

"Chain activate the effect of [Rose Holy Archer]. If you have a Plant-Type monster on your field and your opponent activates a Trap Card, you can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard to activate it. The activation is negated and it is destroyed."

After a brief exchange, Izayoi breathed a sigh of relief.

Normal Summon [Wa Soul], activate its effect. During the turn this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, you can only Normal Summon 1 more Spirit Monster during your Main Phase.

"I will sacrifice [Wakatsune] to Normal Summon [Sword King - Tsumuhadasanagi]."

"The Sword King cannot be Special Summoned, but can be Advanced Summoned by Liberating 1 Normally Summoned Monster."

[Sword Emperor—Tsumuha Tatsugi (11th Star) Wind] [Warrior/Soul/Effect ATK:3000 DEF:3000]

"When Sword King is summoned or flipped, it is always activated. Your opponent can select any number of cards on their field and send them to the Graveyard. In that case, both players draw cards according to that number."

"At the end of the turn this effect was activated, all cards on the field, in the Graveyard, and in the banished cards are returned to their owners' decks."

"Effect of Soul: This card is always activated when it is sent to the Graveyard. Draw 1 card from your deck. This effect can be activated and resolved if you have a Spirit Monster on your field."

"I don't send any cards to the graveyard."

After thinking for a moment, Izayoi answered. Then, Ichinose attacked the Black Rose Witch with the Imperial Sword of Command.

"Open the cover card, [Half Counterattack]."

"When a monster you control is attacked, you can activate this during damage calculation. The attacking monster's ATK increases by half its original ATK until the End Phase."

Ichinose:lp1200→lp0

"During the End Phase, [Sword King - Tsumuhakutsunagi] is returned to the hand, and all cards on the field, in the Graveyard, and in the banished cards are returned to their owners' decks."

Ichinose said this with a smile, and at the same time, Izayoi Akira looked as if she had just woken up from a dream.

According to the rules, Sakayanagi Arisu will take over from Ichinose. And right now, she has nothing on the field, in the graveyard, or in the exclusion zone...

"This is truly a surprising strategy."

Kro patted Yusei's shoulder solemnly and went to the Blackwing to prepare for the departure.

"That girl is growing at an amazing rate."

Jack returned to the command room and came to Yusei's side, crossing his arms.

"After all, our Class B specializes in unity, and she's the class monitor."

A smile appeared on Youxing's expressionless face, and then he rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Ichinose showed an aggressive and suppressive attitude from the beginning, but ended up being prepared to exchange her own withdrawal for victory. Akiwan was completely led into Ichinose's rhythm.

"Alice, I'll leave it to you from now on. One more round should be no problem, right?"

In the pit area, Ichinose took off her helmet and smiled brightly as she spoke to Arisu Sakayanagi.

"Of course, you're such a busybody."

Arisu Sakayanagi's mouth curled up slightly. Although for physical reasons, it would be better for her to withdraw after one fight, but Ichinose created a state where Izayoi Akira was wide open. She could easily defeat Izayoi Akira and then continue the duel with Kuro.

"Occasionally, it's nice to put in a little effort."

As he said that, Arisu Sakayanagi rushed out in the D-wheeled vehicle and chased after the somewhat bewildered Izayoi Aki.

"What a great decision, Ichinose."

Horikita Manabu walked up to Ichinose, feeling rather guilty. If he hadn't lost, he wouldn't have had to make the two girls work so hard.

Yu Feng gave Ichinose a thumbs-up, causing the girl's gentle smile to turn a blush.

Chapter 146: Star Trek

"My turn, draw a card."

"Normal Summon [Kozmo-Drossel], and set three cards into the Battle Phase."

Kozmo, although it has translations such as Star Wonderland and Starz, none of them is as appropriate as the combination word Kozmo as the field.

The deck's prototypes are "The Wizard of Oz" and "Star Wars". It is one of the few deck series in which almost every card has two prototypes.

This deck uses level 5 as the dividing line, and is divided into low-level monsters with telekinetic types below level as the main characters, and mechanical type fighters above level that integrate various elements.

Arisu Sakayanagi chose this deck because she wanted to win quickly. Since the deck's performance tended to focus on engaging with the enemy, even if Ichinose had created an opportunity to instantly kill Aki, she wouldn't necessarily be able to consistently reach a 4000 LP burst.

Kozmo's combo ability is stronger. At the same time, due to the fact that the Psychic monsters in the deck exchange blood for effects, the game time can be compressed within the range that her body can bear.

As Dorothy's attack ends, a new effect triggers.

"[Kozmo - Dorothea] can be activated by paying 500 Life Points when inflicting battle damage to the opponent. I can add 1 [Kozmo] card from my deck to my hand. I add [Kozmo - Vanguard] card from my deck to my hand."

Izayoi Akatsuki:lp4000→lp2500

Sakayanagi Arisu:lp4000→lp3500

"Activate Dorocel's effect. Banish this card from the field to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or higher [Kozmo] monster from your hand."

"Special Summon [Kozmo—Forerunner], then launch a direct attack."

[Kozmo—Forerunner (7*) Light] [Machine/Effect ATK:2800 DEF:1400]

Izayoi Akatsuki:lp2500→lp0

Arisu Sakayanagi: Hand 2, Monster 1, Magic Trap 3, Sp Counter 8

Since she didn't have cards like the Eliminator and Kuritama, Izayoi Aki was instantly defeated by Sakayanagi Arisu, and had no choice but to stabilize her D wheel and head towards the maintenance area.

"The strategy was successful. What follows is a confrontation between the two of them."

While Kozmo's system isn't exactly weak, it's essentially reverting to the beat-based system. While Kozmo is still strong in certain environments, it's a classic deck that hasn't been strengthened by its predecessor, so it's gradually falling behind the times.

Black Feather is certainly not an easy deck to deal with, but at least it is stronger than Kozmo after being strengthened.

However, You Feng naturally would not say such words to lower morale. He was just a little curious about the current state of Kro's [Black Feather] deck.

Kro was already waiting on his Blackwing D-ship. After taking the baton card from Izayoi, he chased after Itayana.

"Duel!"

"Activate the effect of [Black Feather - Shadow of Goffer] to Special Summon if you have no monsters on your field. Activate this when this card is successfully Special Summoned from your hand. Special Summon 2 [Shadow of Goffer] (Bird-Type, Dark, Level 1, Attack/Defense 0) to your field. These tokens cannot be Tributed and cannot be used as Synchro Materials."

Kuro suddenly revealed a somewhat strange smile, causing Sakayanagi Arisu, who looked like he was watching a show, to raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Come to think of it, during the previous competition, a friend asked me to help him rebel against you guys."

"Use two Shadow Tokens to create a Link Circuit. Come forth, the Circuit of Revolution, and Link Summon [RR—Wise Owl]!"

After the duel between the two teams, Crow and Kurosaki Hayabusa, who did not fight against each other, formed a deep friendship within two days.

Perhaps this fate stems from the A5 worldline? Among the Lancers' scumbags, Kurosaki Hayabusa and Crow are the few serious individuals, the few who demonstrate a strong bond with their teammates.

"Using the effect of Wise Owl, you can activate this card when Link Summoned. Special Summon 1 Beast-Type, Dark, Level 4 monster from your Deck in Defense Position. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot be used as Link Materials, and its effect is negated. Special Summon [Black Feather - Elite Zephyros] from your Deck."

"Open the face card, [Riptide] destroys all monsters on both sides' fields. By the effect of Forerunner, if this card is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard, you can banish this card from the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 Level 6 or lower [Kozmo] monster from your Deck."

"Special Summon [Kozmo—Dark Avabar]."

As the classic trap set by Arisu Sakayanagi was activated, Crow's field was cleared again.

"Activate the effect of [Black Feather - Storm Sand Summer Horse] to send this card from your hand or field to the Graveyard."

"Place 1 [Black Feather Whirlwind] from your deck face-up in your Magic/Trap Zone."

Due to the rules of Mounted Duel, many decks were restricted to varying degrees. However, Black Feather wouldn't be complete without Li Kui, and Black Feather Dragon could help Crow circumvent the restrictions of the High-Speed World to a certain extent, so Crow still played one copy each of [Black Feather Cyclone] and [Black Cyclone].

"Dark Avabar's effect: Once per turn, when the effect of a monster other than this card is activated, you can activate it by paying 1 Life Points. That activation is negated and the card is destroyed."

Although Arisu Sakayanagi had never seen [Black Feather Tornado], he knew how powerful [Black Tornado] was, so he still paid his health points to resist the effect.

Sakayanagi Arisu:lp3500→lp2500

[Kozmo—Dark Avabar (5*) Dark] [Telekinetic/Effect ATK:2200 DEF:1800]

"It's not bad."

Crowe said with a smile, continuing with his actions.

Normal Summon [Black Feather - Phantom Sudre]: When this card is summoned, you can activate this effect. Add 1 card with the name of [Black Feather Dragon] from your deck to your hand, other than yourself.

"I add a [Black Feather - Rogue Fatah] from my deck to my hand. If you have other [Black Feather] monsters on your field, this card can be Special Summoned from your hand."

"During your Main Phase, you can activate the effect of Rogue's Strike. Send this card and one or more [Black Feather] monsters from your untuned deck with a total Level of 8 to the Graveyard, then Special Summon 1 [Black Feather Dragon] from your Extra Deck."

"This turn, you can only Special Summon Dark-Attribute Monsters from your Extra Deck."

"I send [Black Feather - Kakuya no Zoda] to the graveyard to align with the rogue Fatah. The hope of soaring into the sky rests on those great wings. Synchro Summon, come forth - [Black Feather Dragon]!"

[Black Feather Dragon (8 Stars) Dark] [Dragon/Synchronize/Effect ATK:2800 DEF:1600]

"Activate the effect of Night Zoda: Banish this card from your Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher [Black Feather] monster from your hand or deck."

"After that, you take damage equal to the attack power of the monster Special Summoned by this effect."

"Special Summon [Black Feather - Wandering Kogarashi], Black Feather Dragon's effect. If you take damage from an effect, place 1 Black Feather Counter on this card instead, and Black Feather Dragon's ATK is reduced by the number of Black Feather Counters on this card x 700."

[Black Feather Dragon (8*) Dark] [Dragon/Synchronize/Effect ATK:2800→2100 DEF:1600]

"Use the wandering Kogarashi to tune the radiant Sudri. Black whirlwind, transform into wings that soar with the wind and don your armor! Synchro Summon - [Black Feather - Heavy Armored Winged Crow]."

[Black Feather - Heavy Armored Raven (10 Stars) Dark] [Bird/Synchronize/Effect ATK:3000 DEF:3000]

"Activate the effect of Summer Horse of Storm Sand. If this card is in your Graveyard and you Special Summon a [Black Feather] Synchro Monster on your field, you can banish this card and target 1 [Black Feather] monster in your Graveyard. Add that monster to your hand. Afterward, you take 700 damage."

"I add Exile Kogarashi to my hand, and because of Black Feather Dragon's effect, I place a Black Feather counter."

"Due to the effect of [Black Feather - Gale of the Wind], if you have other [Black Feather] monsters on the field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand."

"Gael of the Wind's effect: Once per turn, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field, halving the attack and defense of that opponent's monster."

"The effect of Zephyros the Elite returns Gale to my hand and Special Summon him from the Graveyard. I take 400 damage."

"Special Summon Gale again, use Gale and Zephyros to perform a star-tuning, flap your jet-black wings, and run with thunder. Lightning Slash! Synchro Summon [Strike Black Feathers - Thunderbolt Raikiri]!"

[Strike Black Feather - Thunderbolt of Thunder (7*) Dark] [Bird/Synchronize/Effect ATK:2600 DEF:2000]

Chapter 147: Kamiru no Onimaru

"Activate Trap Card, [Black Feather - Twin Shadows] If you control 2 or more [Black Feather] monsters, you can also activate this card from your hand. You can return 1 [Black Feather] Tuner in your Graveyard or Banished, and 1 [Black Feather] monster other than Tuner to your Deck or Extra Deck."

"Special Summon 1 [Black Feather] Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck that has the same Level as the combined Levels of the two monsters as a Synchro Summon."

"Return [Black Feather - Sudri, the Illusion] and [Black Feather - Vattar, the Scoundrel] to the Deck, and fly on the strange wind. Synchro Summon - [Black Feather - Boreas, the Demonic Wind]!"

"Activate the effect of Boreas, Magic Wind. If this card is Synchro Summoned successfully, you can activate this effect. Send 1 [Black Feather] monster from your deck to the Graveyard, and this card's Level becomes the same as that monster's Level."

"I sent [Black Feather - Hidden Skirmisher] to the graveyard from the deck and raised Boreas, the Magic Wind, to level 3."

"Then activate the effect of Thunderstorm Raikiri. Once per turn, you can target cards on your opponent's field, up to the number of [Black Feather] monsters you control, excluding this card, and destroy them."

Since [Black Winged Dragon] does not have the [Black Feather] field, the number of cards that can be destroyed is 2.

Then, Raikiri's effect locked a face-down card of Dark Avabar and Arisu Sakayanagi.

"To activate Dark Avabar's effect, remove this card from the field."

"Special Summon 1 Level 6 or higher [Kozmo] monster from your hand. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn."

"Special Summon [Kozmo - Dark Scimitar], activate its effect. If this card is successfully Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, you can target 1 monster on the field, and destroy that monster."

[Kozmo—Dark Scimitar (8*) Dark] [Machine Type/Effect ATK:3000 DEF:1800]

Boreas of Magic Wind was successfully counter-bombed by the strongest card in the Seiz deck, Scimitar, and then a cover card of Arisu Sakayanagi was also blown up.

"Then I activate the effect of Exile Kogarashi. When a face-up [Black Feather] monster on my field is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon this card from my hand."

"As long as this card is in the Monster Zone, each time a monster on your opponent's field activates its effect, place 1 Wedge Counter on that opponent's face-up monster (maximum one)."

"Activate the effect of Hidden Skirmisher to release Kogarash the Wanderer on your side of the field and Special Summon it from the Graveyard."
