A duelist never gives up!

"It's not a humiliation." Shiratori Nozomi explained, "Senior Ryan is the strongest duelist among us. If the opponent can defeat Senior Ryan, the rest of us will most likely not be able to win..."

"Then why did you rush back to the competition venue yesterday..."

"Xuefeng." Yuan Qi interrupted Xuefeng again, extending his hand apologetically, "I'm sorry, we misunderstood. I hope we can have a friendly duel on the field today. Regardless of whether we win or lose, we can show our duel to the audience."

However, no one paid attention to Yuan Qi's outstretched hand.

"See you at the game, if you're worthy of my presence," Ryan said, and walked forward without hesitation.

"Where is Julie from your team? Why can't I see her? Forget it, tell her that I will be the first to go on the court. I hope she won't forget the duel we haven't finished yet." After saying this, Shiratori Nozomi ignored the hand extended by Hara Nana and walked forward silently.

The remaining two team members followed without saying a word.

Only when Airi saw her teammates walking away did she gently reach out her fingertips and touch them with Hara Nana's: "Hmm...what happened yesterday...did we really do something wrong?"

"You know the answer in your heart, don't you?" Yuan Qi said calmly, "otherwise you wouldn't be asking this."

"Aa ...

"Wait, why are you telling me this?" Hara Nana interrupted Airi strangely and said, "Even if I can understand you and forgive you, it's useless."

"The audience won't forgive you, contestant A Xing and the others won't forgive you, and the newspapers certainly won't let you go. You should have read today's newspapers. Every single article in them is insulting you."

"Hmm!" Airi puffed up her cheeks, glared at Yuan Qi fiercely, and covered her ears. "I don't want to hear it! Anyway, as long as I win the duel, I'll see you on the field!"

As he said this, he took a step forward to catch up with the team.

"Why is she like a little child?" Xuefeng couldn't help but frown.

"This is what a giant baby looks like." Yuan Qi returned the handkerchief to Xuefeng and said, "Just send it here."

"Is it really okay?" Xuefeng asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, I won't lose."

"No, what I mean is, if we do this, won't we be the same as Tieji Academy?" Xuefeng said nervously, clutching his sleeves.

Yuan Qi waved his hands helplessly, turned around and said, "There's nothing I can do. After all, I promised someone else."

“Give others what they would have you do for them.”

"Now it's Duelist Academy versus Ironthorn Academy. Both teams are strong teams with excellent results in major competitions. Ironthorn Academy has never fallen out of the quarterfinals in recent years, while Duelist Academy has won countless championships. Let's look forward to the performance of both teams today!"

"Bah! How dare a team like Ironthorn Academy, which shows no respect for its opponents, continue the competition?!"

"Go Duelist Academy! Destroy the Ironthorn Academy!"

"I've been your fan for ten years! This time, I must win!"

Obviously, the audience was not satisfied with the behavior of the Iron Thorn Academy last night. Even the commentator wanted to scold the Iron Thorn Academy, but out of professionalism, he continued:

"First, let's look at the starting lineup. Ironthorn Academy's starting lineup is second-year player Shiratori Nozomi. If I remember correctly, Shiratori Nozomi also participated in the tournament last year and defeated the Royal Academy player in the finals. She's a very strong player. And the Duelist Academy's starting lineup is... Hara Nana!"

"The Duelist Academy actually sent out their captain! Are they planning to go all-in from the start?!"

wrong.

Standing on the field, Shiratori Nozomi looked at Hara Nana who was slowly walking onto the duel field. Her pupils suddenly shrank, as if she had thought of something, and she suddenly turned her head towards the rest area of ​​the Duelist Academy.

nobody.

There was no one in the rest area of ​​the Duelist Academy!

In order to prevent herself from seeing things wrong, Shiratori Hime even rubbed her eyes and looked at it several times, but the result was still the same.

There was no one. The Duelist Academy only sent one contestant, Yuan Qi, just like they did last night!

"I say, is she looking for us?" Sera was sitting in the audience wearing a hat, and couldn't help laughing when she saw Shiratori Nozomi on the screen.

"That should be the case." Nero said softly as he sat aside.

The audience also noticed this as they watched Shiratori Nozomi's movements on the big screen, and for a moment, laughter filled the entire stadium.

"Wonderful!"

Chapter 24: Even if a professional duelist comes, he can’t easily break this situation!

"Do you think you can defeat the three of us alone?" Shiratori Nozomi said viciously, gritting her teeth.

"No, I'm the strongest duelist on our team. If you can defeat me, then the others will most likely be unable to win." Yuan Qi paused, appearing harmless. "This is absolutely not an act of humiliation. Please don't misunderstand me."

"How dare you!!!" Shiratori Nozomi clenched her fists. She felt so angry that her hands and feet were cold in the hot weather. What made her even more furious was the sarcastic voices that happened to sound from the audience.

"Hahaha, you deserve it! Well done to the Duelist Academy!"

"You guys at Iron Thorn Academy have finally met this day? Now you can have a taste of being humiliated by others!"

"Don't just stand there! Duel now! I can't wait to see the Ironthorn Academy get decimated!"

Shiratori Nozomi inserted her deck into the Duel Disc and said gloomily, "Who do you think you are? One against three? Find a way to survive three rounds in my hands first!"

"duel!"

"duel!"

"drop!"

As the crisp sound rang out, Shiratori Nozomi lowered her head and couldn't help showing a

A playful smile.

Because not only was he lucky enough to get the first move, but... he also had a perfect hand!

"I choose to go first!"

As soon as Shiratori Nozomi finished speaking, she said impatiently, "I enter the Main Phase. From my hand, I activate the effect of Warrior of Atlantis to discard this card to the Graveyard. From my Deck, I add Legendary City of Atlantis to my hand!"

"Next, I activate the Field Spell Card—Legendary City of Atlantis!"

The blue ocean surged into the stadium, the surrounding scenery turned into the seabed, and ancient ruins appeared behind Shiratori Nozomi, adding a touch of historical weight and mystery to this sea area.

Shiratori Miki looked at the surrounding scenery with satisfaction, then inserted another card in her hand into the Duel Board and said, "I activate the Spell Card, Foolish Sub-Burial, to send the Trap Card, Ice Barrier, from the Deck to the Graveyard. Then, banish the Ice Barrier in the Graveyard, send a Level 5 or higher Water monster from the Deck to the Graveyard, and then add a Water monster from the Graveyard to your hand."

"I send Sea Dragon God Leviathan from the deck to the graveyard, and then add Leviathan to my hand." After saying this, Shiratori Nozomi slapped another monster on the Duel Board, "I Normal Summon Electric Jellyfish!"

A purple jellyfish floats in the blue ocean. Around the jellyfish, golden arcs of electricity wrap around its body, making crackling sounds.

"It's actually an electric jellyfish?" Yuan Qi said in surprise when he saw this somewhat familiar monster.

"After all, we were last year's runner-up team, so it's normal for us to have this monster." Ai said, glancing at Yuan Qi's hand card, and couldn't help muttering, "Later, we can do this, then this, and this..."

Yuan Qi listened silently to Ai leaning on his shoulder and giving him advice. Although he didn't really need it, his improved emotional intelligence made him realize that it would be better not to refuse at this time.

Shiratori Nozomi, who was standing opposite, naturally couldn't see Ai whispering with Hara Nana. She only saw Hara Nana lowering his head and nodding from time to time, with a nonchalant and perfunctory look, as if he was saying that he was nothing special.

"Damn it... How dare you look down on me!" Shiratori Miki was so angry that her face turned ferocious. Her once beautiful features were twisted together, becoming ugly and strange. In the reflection of the sea water, she looked like a water ghost. "I activate the effect of Electric Jellyfish! I send a Legendary City of Atlantis from my deck to the graveyard, and then I can Special Summon a Water monster from my hand!"

"Come out! Sea Dragon God! Leviathan!"

The blue sea monster rolled its body again and appeared in front of Shiratori Nozomi.

With the appearance of Leviathan, Shiratori Nozomi suddenly heard an angry roar. She subconsciously raised her head and found that Leviathan was actually baring its huge fangs towards her!

"Wait, Leviathan! What are you going to do... Ahhhhhhh!" The huge mental pressure coming from Leviathan's huge body caught Shiratori Nozomi off guard and she let out a cry of grief.

But before Shiratori Nozomi could react, the intense mental pressure suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Since you're his daughter, I'll let you go this time. But if you can't control your emotions next time, it won't be so easy."

Leviathan's cold voice rang out in Shiratori Nozomi's mind. Shiratori Nozomi was slightly stunned. After a long while, she lowered her eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Leviathan is not his own monster, but a gift from his father. If it weren't for Leviathan's help, he probably wouldn't have even made it into the starting team last year.

So, Leviathan's warning is correct.

Shiratori Nozomi took a deep breath, and her ferocious face regained its composure in that instant. She inserted the remaining two cards in her hand into the duel disk and said:

"I cover two cards, and that's the end of the turn!"

Although he almost fell into the abyss of anger, his operation was not wrong. At the moment, his front field was the electric jellyfish that could negate the effects of magic and monsters, and the sea dragon god Leviathan that was comparable to the virtual space.

The backfield is to prevent the Kamikaze Shield - Atmospheric Force, which is used to prevent the high-attack monsters from forcibly clearing the field, and the Undersea Surprise Attack, which is prepared to prevent the core card - the legendary city of Atlantis from being destroyed!

One Kang, one blockade and two subsidies. Even if a professional duelist comes, there is no way to easily resolve this situation!

The commentator, a former professional Duelist, also saw this: "Shiratori Nozomi is a true member of last year's tournament. While the deployment steps aren't complicated, she summoned two powerful monsters to the field with simplicity. I wonder how Hara Nana will respond?"

After the commentator said this, the audience began to panic: "Speaking of which... Duelist Academy won't fail, right?"

"Ironthorn Academy was last year's runner-up, after all. They're arguably the favorites to win this year, and Duelist Academy hasn't made it to the quarterfinals in years, right?"

"That contestant named Yuan Qi seems to be a first-year student, right? Can he do it?"

The voices of doubt and concern began to turn to Yuan Qi again.

Yes, the audience is not supporting the Duelist Academy, they just don’t support the Iron Thorn Academy. If you want to gain their trust, you must show strong strength.

"What are you going to do?" The man, still standing on the highest platform as usual, looked down at the stadium, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly. "Please don't let me down, or I'll be angry."

"Tsk, we're really being underestimated." Ai smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. "Qi, let those people see our strength!"

"As you command, my Lord God."

Yuan Qi chuckled, put his fingers on the deck, and said lightly

"My turn, draw a card."

Chapter 25: Super Summoning

"brush!"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, announcing the official start of Yuan Qi's round.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Hara Nana slowly spoke, "I enter the Main Phase. I will release the Electric Jellyfish on your field and Special Summon my Turtle, the Devil's Gamesiele, to your field in Attack Position."

"What!?" Shiratori Nozomi's pupils shrank suddenly. In her bright eyes, the electric jellyfish in front of her was suddenly sent to the graveyard. Instead, a giant sea turtle stood on its own field, making a deafening roar!

"It's Turtle Beast! It's Turtle Beast!" the commentator excitedly stood up and exclaimed, "Contestant Hara-Nichi immediately used a popular removal card among professional duelists! Gamesiel, which can directly release the opponent's monster!!!"

Then the wind direction began to change again.

"To be able to use a monster of this level, it seems that this player Yuan Qi came prepared."

"I told you, as the oldest academy, Duelist Academy must have some heritage."

However, Yuan Qi didn't care about the audience's opinion of him. He continued to insert the magic card in his hand into the duel board and said, "I activate the magic card whirlwind to destroy Atlantis on your field."

A huge whirlwind swept across the entire stadium, blowing away all the deep blue water, and the duel field once again revealed the grass and the scorching sun.

"Great!" Nefeli, who was in the audience, couldn't help but cheer upon seeing this scene. "Leviathan's blocking effect is based on the field magic card Atlantis. Once Atlantis is destroyed, Leviathan's effect will be ineffective!"

Shiratori Nozomi, who was standing opposite Hara Nana, saw that her Atlantis was destroyed, and subconsciously wanted to open her cover card and dive to attack the Atlantis in the cemetery again, but the reason in her heart temporarily stopped her behavior.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..." Shiratori Nozomi licked her dry lips and stared at Hara Qi with burning eyes. She now clearly realized one thing, that is, the man in front of her was probably stronger than she imagined!

Yuan Qi's actions continued: "I Normally Summon Lone Spark."

A golden flower bud appeared in front of Yuan Qi, causing Shiratori Ximei's heart, which had finally calmed down, to be in turmoil again.

"Not a hero, not a Golem Dessert?!" Shiratori Miki couldn't help but exclaim. The intelligence was wrong, the opponent had another deck! And her own deck information had already been exposed last night. In other words... she was already at a disadvantage!

"Hehe, you're scared, right?" Ai raised the corner of his mouth proudly. "We are making progress every moment and every second. The information in the past is of no use to us!"

"You're talking as if you were the one who printed this card," Yuan Qi said helplessly, "It was Xuefeng who gave us the extra Solitary Sparks he had, right?"

"If you hadn't voluntarily [surrendered] in the duel with the Duel King, I could have obtained more duel power. Why would I need other people's cards?!" Ai said with disdain, raising his smooth chin.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, my fault, there's nothing wrong with you." Yuan Qi curled his lips and said, ever since he took the initiative to take down the duel disk last time, Ai has been brooding over it, talking about it every now and then, and his ears are almost callused.

"I'm glad you understand. Let's continue the duel." Ai patted Yuan Qi's shoulder, indicating that he was a magnanimous person and would not continue to care about it.

"I activate the effect of Solitary Spark, liberate this card, and Special Summon the Predatory Plant Bee Orchid Scorpion from the deck to the field." As soon as Yuan Qi finished speaking, a green scorpion appeared in the duel field. At the end of the scorpion's tail, the sharp hook sparkled in the sunlight.

"I'll then activate the effect of Bee Orchid Scorpion. If this card is Special Summoned successfully, you can activate this by sending a monster from your hand to the Graveyard. Special Summon a Predator Plant monster from your Deck other than [Predator Plant Bee Orchid Scorpion]," Hara Nana said, sending a card from his hand to the Graveyard. "I'll send the Puppet Dessert Madeline Witch from my hand to the Graveyard and Special Summon it from the Deck..."

It's now!

Shiratori Nozomi suddenly flipped open her face-up card and shouted, "I chain-activate the Continuous Trap Card - Undersea Assault!"

That's right, no matter what deck the original seven has, as long as he uses the effect of Undersea Assault to reactivate Atlantis in the graveyard, he will still have the upper hand in this duel!

However, the next second, Hara Nana's somewhat heavy voice shattered Shiratori Nozomi's fantasy!
