A duelist never gives up!

"There are also colored lights and background music..."

"If you continue like this, I will take the controller back and you will forget about being the host. Go back to the office and deal with the documents you haven't done for a while." Zhu Xiu said coldly.

"Tsk, you cheapskate." Nafeli put the microphone to his lips and continued, "Let's take a look at the match schedule before the game begins."

"First year Hara Nana versus third year Guren."

"First year Yukikaze versus third year Kurosawa Kazuko."

"First year Nero versus third year Kiritani Akira."

"Sophomore Julie versus Third Grade Amelie."

"Second year Sera versus Lecti."

"I didn't expect it would be all juniors beating seniors," Nafeli complained. "It seems the juniors in our academy are quite energetic. I wonder what our Dean of Students thinks about this?"

"..."

"Well, it seems our dean is shy again. Without further ado... I declare the competition officially begins!"

After hearing this, Nero gently raised her left arm, and soon, a small black duel disk appeared on her arm. She looked at her opponent, who was the same type of duelist as herself - Kiritani Aki.

"Oh my, I didn't expect that the two otk players would bump into each other." Nafeli also noticed this situation and directly cut the perspective of the big screen to the two of them.

"If I remember correctly, Kirigaya Aki is an apprentice at the Cyber ​​Dragon Gym, right? And Nero Arisa is the youngest daughter of the Arisa family. They're both excellent duelists. As a teacher, I really hope both of them can win, if possible," Nefeli said with a feigned sadness. "But in any duel, there can only be one winner, so I'm going to make a bold guess—whoever gets the last push will win!"

"Teacher Nefeli is talking nonsense again."

"In a duel between two OTK duelists, the one who gets the last move will definitely win."

"Don't talk, don't talk, start, start!"

Seeing Nero raise his duel disk, Kirigaya Aki also raised his left arm.

In an instant, two completely different voices overlapped:

"Duel!" x2

"drop!"

A crisp reminder sounded, and Kirigaya Aki looked at his duel disk and said expressionlessly, "It seems I'm luckier."

"I choose... the backhand!"

"Oh no! Kirigaya Aki has the second move!" Nefeli said bitterly. "It seems our first-year student Nero is still one step behind. No matter how strong she is, she has the first move with a second-attack deck and has to face the powerful killing blow of the Cyber ​​Dragon. In this duel, Nero has been at a huge disadvantage from the start!"

On the duel field, Nero looked at his five cards, his slender eyebrows slightly wrinkled, his small mouth slightly opened, and he murmured:

"Looks like it'll take one more round."

Chapter 116: Shadow Spirit Clothes? Aren’t you a soul bird?!

"This card is for you."

Before going on stage, Yuan Qi took out a card from his card box and handed it to Nero.

"Why?" Nero didn't reach out to take it, but just raised her head slightly and looked up at Yuan Qi with her clear black eyes in confusion.

"Everyone on the team has exchanged cards, but you haven't yet. Consider this proof of partnership," Yuan Qi said matter-of-factly. "Of course, it's up to you whether you want to add it to your build or not."

Nero hesitated for a moment, stretched out his little hand to take the card, and put it into the card box.

"Then I'll give you this card." Nero also took out a card from his deck and held it up. "Exchange, right?"

"Well, let's exchange." Yuan Qi was slightly stunned, then took it with a chuckle.

Partner?...

Nero's long eyelashes trembled slightly. She shook her head, throwing away the mess behind her. She looked at the five cards in her hand and said softly:

"I'm entering the main stage."

"I activate the magic card - Preparation for the Ritual, and add the Soul Bird God - Hiko Peacock and Soul Descending to my hand." Nero was the first to insert the magic card into the duel disk and retrieved two cards from the deck into his hand.

Seeing this, Nefeli's desire to commentate instantly surged: "This card, Ritual Preparation, can retrieve both the Ritual Monster and Ritual Spell from the deck with a single card. It's clear Nero is preparing for a T3 board clear, but how can she prevent Cyber ​​Dragon's violent execution in T2?!"

Nero ignored Nefeli's explanation and placed a monster on the Duel Board:

"Then, I Normally Summon—The Ten Thousand Hands."

Although he was a member of the Tiansheng Clan, the God of Ten Thousand Hands with a devilish face appeared on the duel field, staring at Tong Gu Aki standing opposite him with his scarlet eyes, and muttering some unknown curse, which made people look creepy.

"Activate the effect of Ten Thousand Hands God and add the Ritual Monster - Unico's Shadow Spirit Cloth from the deck to your hand." Nero continued.

"Wait? What did she just add to her hand?"

"Unico's Shadow Spirit Cloth...isn't this a Soul Bird?!"

When Nafeli heard the name of Ying Lingyi, his pupils shrank and he couldn't help but grin and said:

"An unexpected event has occurred! In addition to the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Nero's Spirit Bird deck may also contain a third system - Shadow Spirit Cloth!"

"No, maybe not. This can't be called a Soul Bird deck anymore. It should be called a Ritual Deck!"

"Unlike Soul Bird and Blue-Eyes Ultimate, Shadow Spirit Cloak has a system that can suppress enemies if it attacks first. I originally thought Nero's deck was simply a second-attack OTK, but it seems she's been hiding something all along!"

Standing opposite Nero, Kirigaya Aki frowned slightly. Damn, how come the information provided by the council didn't even mention such an important thing?

Shadow spirit clothes?

what is that? !

I haven’t heard of it!

Nero continued, "Next, I activate the effect of my Swordbird Shadow Cloak. This card can be discarded from my hand. Then, I add a 'Shadow Cloak' Spell/Trap Card from my deck to my hand."

"I choose to add Shadow Spirit Clothes' Kaleidoscope to my hand."

"Ritual monsters and ritual magic plus the four-star Ten Thousand Hands God on the field as a sacrifice... is it coming? Ritual summoning!" Kiritani Aki looked at the girl in front of him with a serious expression. She looked petite, but at this moment she seemed to be emitting powerful power!

Of course, this is just how Nero is seen by outsiders.

Nero himself didn't feel anything at all.

After all... I have used ritual summoning thousands of times.

"I activate the Spell Card - Kaleidoscope of Shadow Spirit Cloth, liberate Rainbow Herald from the Extra Deck, and Ritual Summon Unico's Shadow Spirit Cloth from my hand."

Unico appeared handsomely on the duel field holding a spear, but the students were more surprised by the way he appeared than by himself.

"What? Releasing extra monsters?!"

"Extra monsters as sacrifices? Isn't that ridiculous?!"

"Then can I release two extra monsters to summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon?"

"Ahem!" Nefeli cleared his throat and explained, "Although Nero didn't explain it in detail, according to the effect of the Shadow Spirit Robe's Kaleidoscope, it is indeed possible to liberate additional monsters for Ritual Summoning. As you continue on the path of a Duelist, you will encounter various other cards..."

very noisy.

The clamor finally caught Nero's eye, and a hint of impatience crossed her face. "I activate the effect of Rainbow Herald. This effect can only be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard. Add 1 Ritual Monster or 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand."

"I choose to add Advanced Ritual to my hand."

"Next, I activate the effect of Magician's Twin Souls in my hand." Nero showed Magician's Twin Souls to his opponent, Kirigaya Akimichi. "If this card is in your hand, you can send 1 Level 6 or higher Magician-Type monster from your deck to the Graveyard, and Special Summon it from your hand."

"I send Chaos Fantasy Magician from my deck to the graveyard and Special Summon Magician's Twin Souls in Defense Position."

"Then I activated the effect of Magician's Twin Souls, sending the Spell Cards in my hand—Soul's Descendant and High Ritual—to the Graveyard and drawing two cards from my Deck."

"brush!"

Nero quickly drew two cards from the deck. However, when she looked at the cards, her expression changed slightly, and her right hand holding the cards stopped.

Got it.

It's obviously impossible to get it.

But...I really got it.

The card that Yuan Qi just gave himself.

Nero pursed his delicate lips together, and for a moment he was in hesitation.

Do you want to use it?

Not using it?

In a flash, Nero's eyes flashed with determination. She inserted two cards into the duel disk and said calmly:

"I cover two cards, and that's the end of the round."

"My turn, draw a card!"

As soon as Nero finished speaking, Kirigaya Aki drew a card from his quick deck.

"On to the main stage!"

As Kiritani Aki said this, he couldn't wait to slap the monster in his hand on the duel disk.

"Only if there are monsters on the opponent's field, I Special Summon Cyber ​​Dragon from my hand!"

As the core of the Cyber ​​Dragon deck, it was no surprise that the Cyber ​​Dragon was drawn into the hand of Aki Kiritani at the very beginning.

"Immediately afterwards, I activated the Magic Card - Electronic Emergency SOS, adding the Electronic Dragon Core to my hand."

Kiritani Aki slapped Cyber ​​Dragon Core onto the Duel Board: "Normal Summon Cyber ​​Dragon Core, activate Cyber ​​Dragon Core's effect, and add Cyber ​​Load Fusion from your deck to your hand!"

"It seems that player Kiritani Aki is not far behind! As expected of a third-year student, he gathered two Cyber ​​Dragons and a Fusion Magic card on the field in just a moment! I can almost see him Fusion Summoning his ace monster, Cyber ​​End Dragon, from the Extra Deck!" Of course, Nefeli would not show favoritism. When commentating, he had to praise both sides.

Although he didn't know, Kirigaya Aki's ace monster had long been replaced by Chimera Tyrannosaurus.

Instead of activating the Electronic Load Fusion immediately, Kiritani Aki inserted another magic card into the Duel Disk: "I activate the magic card - Power Combination!"

"Send the two Cyber ​​Dragons on the field to the Graveyard and Fusion Summon - Cyber ​​Twin Dragons!"

A monster formed by the combination of two electronic dragons appeared on the duel field. Dazzling purple electric current was wrapped around its silver metal body, making a "sizzling" sound from time to time.

Kiritani Akira looked at the monsters on the field, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth: "Because of the effect of the combined power, the attack power of the Cyber ​​Twin Dragons has increased by its original attack power value!"

"So now the Cyber ​​Twin Dragon's attack power is—5600!"

Chapter 117: Lend me your power once again and bring me victory! Electronic End Dragon!

"Next, I activate the effect of Cyber ​​Dragon Sub-Dai-Sei, sending the Cyber ​​Dragon in my hand to the Graveyard and Special Summoning it from my hand." Kirigaya Aki slapped Sub-Dai-Sei onto the Duel Board.

"Then, when the Second Generation Star Special Summon succeeds, Special Summon Cyber ​​Dragon from the Graveyard!"

So there were suddenly two more electronic dragons, one big and one small, on Kiritani Aki's field.

"I activate the magic card - Overload Fusion!" Kirigaya Aki continued inserting the magic card in his hand into the Duel Board, "I banish the Cyber ​​Dragon and Cyber ​​Dragon Core in the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon from the Extra Monster - Chimera Tyrannosaurus!"

Unlike the electronic twin dragons, the Chimeric Tyrannosaurus has a hint of fire on its body in addition to electricity, as if it will explode at any time, and its whole body is filled with a dangerous aura.

"If you successfully summon Chimera Tyrannosaurus, you can activate this by targeting Spell/Trap Cards on your field that have a maximum number of monsters that can be used as Fusion Materials for this card. Destroy those cards!" Kirigaya Aki pointed at the two face-down cards on Nero's field and said, "I choose the two face-down cards on your field. Destroy them!"

"..."

no response.

Kiritani Aki's hand, which was pointing at Gaika, froze. He looked at his Chimeric Tyrannosaurus and found that it seemed to be restrained by something and was swinging its tail impatiently.

Nero didn't even bother raising his eyelids as he explained calmly, "Unico's Shadow Cloak's effect negates the effects of face-up monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck as long as this card is in the Monster Zone."

"So the effect of Chimeric Tyrannosaurus was negated."

The students in the audience were already numb with shock:

"Negating the effect of a face-up monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck?!"

"Isn't this just one card crushing a bunch of monsters? That's too perverted!!"

"It's okay, I don't have any extra monsters."

“Actually, I didn’t come here either…”

"What a powerful effect, but... no matter how powerful your effect is, my Cyber ​​Twin Dragons are still a little higher in terms of attack power!" said Kirigaya Aki in a deep voice.

That's right, although the effect of Unico's Shadow Spirit Cloth is very powerful, his attack power is only 2300, while the Cyber ​​Twin Dragons on his field have an attack power of 5600!

"I enter the combat phase, Cyber ​​Twin Dragons, attack Unico's Shadow Spirit Cloak!"
