A duelist never gives up!

"This card... does it have this kind of effect?" Nero looked at the blue-haired duel elf on Xuefeng's field, his long eyelashes trembling slightly. Search, graveyard, resurrection, it would be great if there were such cards in his own deck system.

"It's my turn, draw a card!" Xuefeng looked at the card he drew. It was not the Earth Shatter he expected, but this card... this card can win!

"I activate the Field Spell Card - Water World!"

Water World, which was bounced back into the deck, returned to the Snow Wind field again, as if announcing the beginning of a counterattack.

"Next, I activate the effect of Rokka's One Petal on the field and add Rokka's Heather from the deck to my hand!" Xuefeng retrieved a card from the deck and continued, "I activate the effect of Graveyard Iron Chopsticks. While this card is in the Graveyard, you can activate this effect by Tributing 1 Plant-Type monster you control. This card is Special Summoned in Defense Position. I Tribute Rokka's One Petal on the field. Resurrect! Rokka, Iron Chopsticks!"

That's right, even if monsters enter the cemetery, it doesn't mean they are dead! I don't know who reminded me of this, but thank you!

Xuefeng secretly thanked him in her heart, but her movements did not slow down. "Due to the effect of the water world, the attack power of the iron chopsticks has increased to 3100! Then, I will enter the battle phase!"

"what?!"

"3100 is smaller than 4000. What is she doing? Committing suicide?!"

"Maybe you think it's more dignified to die this way?"

"Shut up!" Mina couldn't help but yell, "Xuefeng must have her reasons for doing this. This duel doesn't need you guys telling her what to do!"

"Heather has some effect, right?" Nero said, looking at the retrieved card in Xuefeng's hand.

"Of course, at this moment, I activate Heather's effect! When one of your Plant-Type monsters other than this card declares an attack for battle, you can activate this effect by Tributing this card in your hand or on the field. That monster's ATK and DEF increase by 1000 until the end of this turn!"

"At this moment, the attack power of Iron Chopsticks is not 3100, but 4100!"

"This is my limit, so help me win! Iron Chopsticks! Attack the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!"

The elegant iron chopsticks attacked the huge blue-eyed chaos dragon. The two huge waves of energy collided with each other, emitting a dazzling light, but soon, the energy of the iron chopsticks overwhelmed the blue-eyed chaos dragon, and the blue-eyed chaos dragon dissipated in a white light.

Nero: 2800lp → 2700lp.

"Good! Xuefeng and Tiexiuzi are awesome! Come on! Come on! Win!" Mina said with a blushing face.

"Today's first-year students are really scary." Even the instructor couldn't help but praise them. When she was her age, she was still using the Demon King of the Swamp to fuse some ineffective fusion monsters.

"This is the end of my round." Xuefeng said breathlessly.

"It's my turn, draw a card!" Nero looked at the card she drew, and her originally high spirits were like being poured with a bucket of cold water. Her cute little face suddenly dimmed - a card that she didn't want to draw at the moment was drawn by her.

It looks like it's over.

I'm sorry, Shirahara Yukikaze.

You didn't defeat me either.

There is no point in fighting a duelist who cannot defeat me.

So, sorry, we can't be friends anymore.

"I enter the Main Phase and activate the Spell Card—Preliminary Ritual." Nero inserted the drawn card into the Duel Board. "I add Soul Descendant and Soul Bird God—Hiko Peacock to my hand."

"Damn it! Why does such a powerful monster have a second one?" Mina said in despair. "Xuefeng worked so hard..."

"It's okay, I can win it back later."

“I can only win it back later.”

"I activate Soul Descendant, sending the Soul Bird God Hime Peacock to the Graveyard and Special Summoning the Soul Bird God Hiko Peacock from my hand." Nero expressionlessly slapped Hiko Peacock onto the Duel Board. "Then, I activate Hiko Peacock's effect to bounce your Six Flower Spirit Iron Chopsticks back to my hand."

Xuefeng stretched out his right hand tremblingly and took the iron chopsticks from the duel disk back to his hand card.

"Then, attack directly."

Snow Wind: 1300lp → 0lp

Winner: Nero Arisa!

Lost...lost?

I mustered up my courage, I tried my best, but I still lost. Isn't this... I didn't help at all?!

Xuefeng felt dizzy, as if his head was filled with lead, and then his calves went weak and he was about to fall forward to the ground.

And at this moment, a pair of warm hands rested on her shoulders and supported her.

"Well done, thank you."

Xuefeng raised her head and a familiar face appeared in her sight, and her eyes suddenly became blurred.

"I...I tried very hard...but...I..."

"It's okay, I'll just win it back next time."

"Who are you?" Nero frowned as he looked at the man who suddenly broke into the duel arena.

"I'm the Hara Nana you're looking for." Hara Nana handed Xuefeng to Mina beside him.

"I heard you want to challenge me to a duel?"

Chapter 39: It’s normal to lose your mind for your friends

Yuan Qi was not from this world, so he couldn't imagine someone crying because of losing a duel.

But there was one thing he understood, that was the tears in the girl's eyes were because of him.

"Aren't we going to duel?" The silver duel disk was attached to Yuan Qi's arm. "I happen to have time now."

"I want the super card in your hand." Nero took out the Rainbow Herald in his hand, "Use this card as a bet. If it's not enough, I can add more."

"Not enough, of course not." Yuan Qi smiled faintly, "My Crown Tiramisu must be summoned by a Golem Dessert Monster. You can only use Crown Tiramisu if you take my entire deck."

"You mean... you want to challenge me in a deck fight?" A layer of frost climbed up Nero's cheek. She certainly didn't think that the other party was kind enough to tell her the summoning restrictions of Crown Tiramisu.

If the opponent wants to block the deck, you must also block the deck.

This is a provocation, he is provoking himself.

"Of course. Isn't blocking each other's decks a common tactic of yours?" Yuan Qi raised his head arrogantly. "Come on, let me hunt your deck."

"Arrogant." Nero raised his left hand and said without hesitation, "If you can do it, then try it."

"duel!"

"duel!"

"Again?!"

"Yuan Qi, teach this guy a lesson for us!"

"Hey, betting on the deck... you're playing such a big game again."

The onlookers, who had thought the fight was over, once again focused their attention on the two of them.

"drop!"

"I'll take it if I make the first move." Yuan Qi chose to make the first move without hesitation.

"Ah! I clearly told him to choose the second move!" Mina, who was watching the game, couldn't help but grab her hair.

"Classmate Yuan Qi must have his own plans." Xuefeng has recovered from her previous state, but her playful little face is still a little red. She actually cried like a child just now, and she still feels embarrassed when she thinks about it now.

"That's because there's a lot of resistance in Hara Nana's deck," Aoshi explained. "If he goes first with a card like Forbidden Holy Grail, it could negate the effects of Ten Thousand Hands, and maybe interrupt Nero's play."

"I see!"

"You're so decisive about blocking the deck." Ai floated beside Yuan Qi, her sky-blue skirt swaying slightly with the swing of her legs. "If we lose, will we have to start all over again?"

"I can't help it. My friend is crying in front of me." Yuan Qi said nonchalantly, "Isn't it normal to be angry and make irrational decisions because of a friend?"

"I really can't do anything about you." Ai's mouth curled up slightly, "But don't worry, I won't let you lose."

"Well, although your words make me happy and touched, but... am I not the one playing the cards?" Yuan Qi squinted his eyes at Ai, "Or can you adjust the order of my deck so that I can draw whatever I want?"

"How is that possible?" Ai said unhappily.

"I can't do it." After Yuan Qi and Ai interrupted for a while, his originally irritable mood improved.

"I enter the main phase and Normal Summon Jelly Angel."

The cute little angel appeared on the duel field again, but soon, before she had been on the stage for long, she was ruthlessly sent to the cemetery by Yuan Qi.

"I activate Jelly Angel's effect, liberate Jelly Angel, and Special Summon Pancake Owl from the Deck!"

"I then activate Pancake Owl's effect, banishing Jelly Angel from the Graveyard, Special Summoning Golem Dessert: Jelly Ice Cream Postman from the Deck, and activate the Postman's effect to retrieve Golem Dessert Scroll from the Deck and add it to my hand."

"I activate Golem Dessert Roll, then cover three cards. This ends the turn."

"Three cards covered at once?"

"Aren't you afraid of killing monsters with so many spells and traps?"

Nero looked at the three covered cards on the original seven fields and said calmly, "My turn, draw a card."

"Entering the main phase, I Normal Summon Ten Thousand Hands, activate the effect of Ten Thousand Hands, and select a Ritual Spell or Ritual Monster from the deck to add to my hand." As he spoke, Nero's black eyes looked at Yuan Qi, as if waiting for something.

"Forced counter?" Yuan Qi certainly understood Nero's intention, but sometimes it's necessary to surrender. He opened one of his face-up cards and said, "I'm chain-activating Forbidden Holy Grail, negating the effect of your Ten Thousand Hands God."

Thus, the God of Ten Thousand Hands, who was just about to exert his power, suddenly dimmed like an eggplant hit by frost.

"Then, I will activate the magic card - Preparation for the Ritual, and add the Soul's Descending Spirit and the Soul Bird Goddess Peacock from the deck to my hand." Nero said as he inserted a magic card into the Duel Disk.

"Oh no! Wanshou Shen was originally a discarded pawn, and her real deciding factor is Ji Kongque!" Qingshi couldn't help but shouting as he watched this scene.

"I activate Soul Descendant, discard a Thunder God from my hand, and Ritual Summon—Soul Bird Goddess Peacock!"

A woman in peacock clothes appeared on the field, gently waving the peacock fan in her hand, as if she wanted to blow away the covered cards on the original seven fields.

"I activate the effect of Peacock Princess and return the three cards in the Magic Trap Zone on your field to the deck." Nero commanded Peacock Princess.

"Chain Activation, Magic Doll Night!" Hara Nana opened his face-up card again. "This can only be activated if there are no monsters in your Graveyard. The activation of the effects of Effect Monsters is negated!"

"Is there another face-up card?" Nero thought for a moment and inserted a card from his hand into the Duel Disk. "I activate Foolish Reburial, deducting half my LP and sending a card from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard."

"I choose... the Herald of the Rainbow."

"Then, I activated the effect of Rainbow Herald in the Graveyard to add a Ritual Monster from my Deck to my hand. I chose to add Blue-Eyes Chaos Ultra Dragon to my hand."

"Immediately afterwards, I activated the Spell Card - Advanced Ritual, sent a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from the deck to the Graveyard, and Ritual Summoned - Blue-Eyes Chaos Ultra Dragon!"

The powerful Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon appeared again, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Summoning two powerful monsters in one turn?"

"This...isn't it otk?"

"Ritual summoning is too bad. It summons directly from the hand. There is no deployment process and it is impossible to interrupt it."

However, Yuan Qi on the duel field smiled.

"It seems to be what I thought." Yuan Qi stared at Ji Kongque and Blue-Eyed Chaos Extreme Dragon on Nero's field.

"What a shame." Ai couldn't help but say as she watched the scene, "The cards in her deck aren't very compatible with Golem Dessert."

"It's okay. Who says a duelist can only have one deck?"

Chapter 40: Who bullies whom?

"I enter the battle phase. I use Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon to attack the Golem Dessert Gelato Postman!"

A huge roaring bomb was sprayed towards the postman, and before the postman could react, he was destroyed and thrown into the cemetery.

"Using the effect of Jelly Ice Postman, if this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard by your opponent, activate this card. Return this card to the Deck. Then, I activate the effect of Golem Sweets Roll. Other "Golem Sweets" cards on your field or in your Graveyard, except this card, are returned to your hand or Deck due to their effects. Add 1 "Golem Sweets" monster from your Deck to your hand. I choose to add Golem Sweets Jelly Angel to my hand!"

"Sustainability?" Nero murmured. It was a pity that all the opponent's monsters were in attack position, otherwise Yuan Qi would not have the next round.

"I'll continue using the Peacock to attack the Hotcake Owl!"

Unlike the postman, although the owl was beaten all over by the peacock, it still stood firmly on the field, spreading its wings unyieldingly!

"Due to Jelly Angel's effect, Golem Dessert Monsters Special Summoned by this card cannot be destroyed by battle!"

"Really? In that case, I'll just end my turn." Nero's hand card resources were basically used up, so he had no choice but to end his turn.

"Then, it's my turn, draw a card." Hara Qi didn't care about the card he drew at all, but directly slapped the Jelly Angel he retrieved last turn on the Duel Board, "I Normal Summon Jelly Angel!"

"Activate Jelly Angel's effect, Release this card, Special Summon Jelly Ice Postman from the Deck, and then I activate Postman's effect, retrieve Golem Dessert Castle from the Deck, and add it to my hand!"

"I remember Golem Dessert Castle increasing the ATK and DEF of all Golem Dessert monsters on the field by 500, right? Even so, it can't possibly surpass Princess Peacock, let alone defeat Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon." Nero pointed at the two monsters on the original field. "If I'm not mistaken, your next move should be to use Owl to banish the Jelly Angel from the Graveyard, Special Recruit another Postman, and then Xyz Summon it, right?"

"Eh? Did she figure it out?" Xuefeng in the audience couldn't help but ask.

"It's useless to see it. The winner of this battle has already appeared." Qingshi said.
