A duelist never gives up!

"Here, I personally declare that Ron Klopp is an excellent duelist!"

Ron's body stiffened, and a line of tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.

Chapter 8: Come on, Hanako-chan!

"Teacher, who will be in the next round?"

In the rest area of ​​Yunxing Academy, a student couldn't help but ask.

"Let me go." Captain Beishan Heng stood up silently and said.

"No, let me go." A girl in black stopped him.

"Hanako..."

"My deck doesn't have any extra monsters, so her extra blockade won't work on me." The girl named Hanako shook her head and said, "Captain, you should get ready to deal with that Hara Nana."

"What about the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon?" the middle-aged teacher suddenly asked, a bewildered look on his slightly aged face. "How can your deck defeat the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon?"

Hanako lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "If we take the initiative, we might have a chance."

After saying that, without waiting for the teacher to continue, she took out the deck from her waist and rushed to the competition field, saying, "I'm going."

"Hanako!" Kitayama Heng couldn't help but shout.

"Hmm?" The girl turned her head slightly, a hint of panic flashing in her purple eyes, "What's wrong?"

Kitayama Heng was slightly stunned. He didn't know why he called out to Hanako, but he instinctively forced a smile from his face, gave her a thumbs up and encouraged her, "Come on!"

"Oh, leave it to me!" The girl smiled slightly, as bright and dazzling as a flower blooming in summer.

"We can't win," a teammate muttered softly. "Ron is fine, but in Sawano's deck... the strongest monster only has 3000 attack power."

"So?" Beishan Heng glanced at the player coldly, "So we have to surrender? Just do nothing and pack up and run away in disgrace on the first day of the competition?!"

"Captain, tell me what else can we do?" The team member clutched his black curly hair with both hands and said in pain, "I want to win too! I want to do well in the competition! I also want to show off my duel in front of my family and in front of a national audience!"

"But we just had bad luck and ran into the Duelist Academy..."

"No! We're very lucky!" Beishan Heng said seriously, "Apart from the quarterfinals, the opening match is the only one where only two academy teams will use the field. All the spectators' attention will be on us. If we win, we'll be the center of attention. If we lose, it won't be in vain."

"Anyway, we didn't plan to win the championship from the beginning, did we?" Kitayama Heng said self-deprecatingly.

"Captain..." The team member opened his mouth and suddenly felt relieved. "That's right. We can't win the championship anyway, so having the opportunity to be noticed is pretty good."

"Am I right?" Beishan Heng chuckled.

"rational."

"In that case, let's cheer for Hanako together. Whether we win or not, we must cheer for her with all our might!"

"Okay! I'll count to one, two, three, and everyone shout together!"

"Hanako, come on!!!"

The deafening sound reached the rest area of ​​the Duelist Academy. Yuan Qi looked at Nero's petite figure standing on the field and suggested, "How about we shout too?"

"No, it's so embarrassing." Sera said weakly.

"The audience around here are shouting so loudly that even the mother fans have come out. Nero might not be able to hear us." Julie said lightly.

"I was clearly shouting the whole time." Xuefeng frowned cutely and said, "Hara Nana-kun, didn't you hear me?"

Yuan Qi turned his head away in embarrassment. Fortunately, the commentator's voice sounded again at this time, attracting everyone's attention:

"Dueler Academy vs. Cloud Walker Academy, the second round officially begins!" Nit-san said, holding the manuscript in his hand. "Cloud Walker Academy's second contestant is 17-year-old Sawano Hanako. I wonder if she can defeat Nero and win back a match for Cloud Walker Academy? Let's wait and see!"

"duel!"

"duel!"

"drop!"

Hanako's duel disk made a clear sound, which made her face brighten with joy. She quickly said, "I choose to go first!"

"Oh! Unlike Player Ron, Player Hanako chose to take the initiative. This means that she is likely to use the advantage of being able to deploy first without being disturbed to create impedance to prevent Player Nero from deploying. If the impedance is strong enough, Player Nero's ritual monster may not be summoned." Nit-san explained immediately after seeing Sawano's choice.

That's right, although I don't have a monster in my deck that can rival the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, I just need to prevent it from being summoned successfully, or... set a small trap when it summons!

"It's my turn, I enter the Main Phase!" Sawano said, inserting the card in his hand into the Duel Board. "I activate the Magic Card - Pot of Greed and Gold, banishing six cards from the extra card and drawing two cards!"

"Golden Pot... Are you using a deck that doesn't rely on extra monsters?" Nero muttered as he looked at the Hollow Dragon King in his hand. "Looks like you won't have a chance to play this turn."

"Next, I Normal Summon—Ninja Leader Hanzo!"

The ninja in black tights suddenly appeared on the duel field. In his right hand, the cold handle of the knife was tightly grasped by his palm, as if he would take out the sharp blade from the sheath in the next second and take off the enemy's head.

"Ninja?!" Nero's black pupils shrank slightly.

Is there such a deck?

"The advantage of information asymmetry is about to become apparent," Nefeli said worriedly upon seeing this scene. "Nero probably has no idea about the opponent's Ninja Deck, while the opponent knows Nero's trump card monsters perfectly."

"I'm afraid Nero will have a hard time in this duel."

On the field, Hanako looked at Nero's slightly surprised face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. Very good, it seems that she has never heard of my deck. In this way... maybe there is a chance!

"I activate Hanzo's effect, adding the Secret Ninja Scroll from the deck to my hand, and then I activate the Secret Ninja Scroll!"

"Then I activate the effect of the Hidden Ninja Scroll, discarding the Golden Ninja from my hand and covering the field with the Continuous Trap Card - Ninja Super Transformation Jutsu!"

"Sure enough! Hanako was the first to retrieve a continuous trap card! Her tactics are very clear, which is to use trap cards to stop Nero's deployment!" Nit-san's voice sounded at this time, which made the audience turn their attention to the girl in black.

"Ninja? I've never heard of this deck before? Does anyone know how strong it is?"

"I don't know, but... do ninjas search for 'ninjutsu' to fight? That sounds interesting."

"Hmph, what ninja deck? It's just an unknown trash deck. Baby Nero, quickly use Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon to crush him!"

Crush?

Sorry, although I am not very strong, I will not give up the outcome of this duel!

Hanako gritted her teeth, inserted the card in her hand into the Duel Plate, and said, "I activate the Field Spell Card - Hidden Village - Ninja Training Ground."

"Finally, I'll cover two more cards, and that's the end of the round!"

Nero's black eyes glanced at the duel field in front of Hanako, and he nodded slightly.

"My turn, draw a card."

Chapter 9: Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!!!

Three face-down cards, one field magic card, one continuous magic card, and one monster.

Except for monsters with effects and continuous magic cards, all other information is unknown.

"Then... I'll start by activating the Spell Card—Bargain Shopping." Nero reached out and inserted a card into the Duel Disk, saying softly, "Discard the Hollow Dragon Demon King from your hand and draw two cards from your deck."

"brush!"

Nero's delicate fingers drew two cards from the deck, then without hesitation, sent one to the graveyard. "I activate the effect of Light Spear Dragon's Shadow Cloak, adding Unico's Shadow Cloak from the deck to my hand."

"Next, I activate the Ritual Spell Card - Kaleidoscope of Shadow Spirit Clothes!"

"That's great, Hanako's deck doesn't need to use extra monsters at all. Her Shadow Spirit Clothes are useless against suppressing extra monsters!" The members of Yunxing Academy shouted excitedly when they saw this scene in the audience.

"Idiot! Her goal is not the Shadow Spirit Robe! She wants to pile up extra monsters in the graveyard!" The knowledgeable team leader finally couldn't help but speak out. At the same time, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his somewhat turbid eyes stared at the arena.

If this Nero player didn't know the Ninja deck, her choice would be...

"I will send the Old God Nutz from the extra deck to the graveyard and ritually summon Unico's Shadow Cloth!" Nero said as he slapped the monster in his hand on the duel disk.

Unico appeared on the duel field holding a spear, but the protagonist this time was not him, but the old god Nuts who was sent to the cemetery!

"I activate the effect of the Old God. If this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can target 1 card on the field. Destroy that card." Nero pointed without hesitation at the Trap Card that Hanako had covered last turn. "I choose to destroy the Ninja Art Super Transformation Jutsu on your field."

"it is good!"

The teacher leading the Yunxing Academy slapped his thigh fiercely and stood up excitedly, "We got it!"

"chain!"

Facing the tidal wave pouring out of the graveyard, Hanako suddenly opened her face-down card and shouted, "I activate the Continuous Trap Card—Ninja Super Transformation! I send Ninja Leader Hanzo on my field and Uniko on your field to the graveyard, and Special Summon a Dragon-Type, Dinosaur-Type, or Sea Dragon-Type monster from your deck with a combined Level less than or equal to this. When this card leaves the field, that monster is removed from play!"

"Come out! My pride! My ace!"

"White Dragon Ninja!!!"

"thump!"

As a puff of white smoke rose, Unico and Hanzo on the duel field disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time, replaced by a girl in white holding a shuriken. Beside the girl, a white dragon wrapped in blue phantom fire protected him like a guardian spirit, staring at Nero with its fangs and claws.

"Because of the White Dragon Ninja's effect: As long as this card is face-up on the field, Spell and Trap Cards on your field cannot be destroyed by card effects. Therefore, the Old God cannot destroy my Ninja Technique Super Transformation Jutsu!"

Hanako continued, "At the same time, I also activate the effect of Kakure no Sato on the field. If you have a "Ninja" monster Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned on your field, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 "Ninja" monster or 1 "Ninjutsu" card in your Graveyard. Add that card to your hand!"

"I'm adding Hanzo, the leader of the graveyard ninja, to my hand!"

"So that's how it is. The function of the venue is to recycle resources?" Nero immediately reacted.

Well, there are two more unknown cards.

"I Normal Summon Ten Thousand Hands." Nero slapped Ten Thousand Hands onto the Duel Board again. "I activate Ten Thousand Hands' effect, adding a Ritual Magic Card—Advanced Ritual—from my deck to my hand."

"Ten Thousand Hands God - Advanced Ritual Technique... Could it be that Nero is going to summon her Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon again?!" Nit-san couldn't help but shout as he looked at this familiar combo.

"Great! I'm looking forward to it!"

"Summon it out quickly! I can't wait any longer!"

"Go! Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!!!"

"Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!!!"

"Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!!!"

"Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!!!"

In an instant, the audience in the entire stadium were shaking their arms, their necks were red, and they were shouting the card name of Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon at the top of their lungs, as if they were fanatics at a large-scale x-cult scene, full of enthusiasm and madness!

"Tsk, it's just a dragon, is there any need to be so excited?! There's also a dragon on the White Dragon Ninja!" Hanako clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, but in fact, her legs couldn't help but tremble when she thought of the possible appearance of the Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon.

No, why am I panicking?!

Hanako subconsciously reached for the trap card she had prepared in the previous round - Mecha Ninjutsu Rusty Water Mist.

"When you control a 'Ninja' monster and your opponent Special Summons a monster, the Special Summoned monster's ATK is halved."

This is the "gift" I specially prepared for the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!

No matter how powerful the Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon is, under the power of this trap, its 2700 attack power will become attack power. In this way, the White Dragon Ninja only needs to rely on its own attack power to defeat the Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon!

However, Hanako forgot one very important thing.

That is, Nero's deck wasn't "Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon," but...

"I send a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck to the graveyard and ritually summon the Soul Bird God Hime Peacock."

"What?!" Hanako couldn't help but exclaim. She looked at the woman holding a peacock fan who slowly appeared on the duel arena, and her little face suddenly turned pale.

"What's going on! It's not the Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon!" Seeing that it was not the Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon but the Soul Bird that appeared, the audience couldn't help but start complaining.

"You don't have a Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, right? You can't always draw one."

"Then why didn't you use Shadow Spirit Robe's Kaleidoscope to stack Rainbow Herald to get Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon? Instead, you stacked an Old God to try to disrupt the opponent's card. What happened? It didn't disrupt it at all! To put it bluntly, it still doesn't work!"

"No, Nero doesn't know the effect of the White Dragon Ninja on the opposite side..."

"I don't know if it makes sense anymore?"

"You're the only one who knows everything, right?"
