Yu-Gi-Oh, the tenth generation of card-playing simulator!

"Assholes, I want to see how you fight!" Thinking of this, Cobra immediately called up the real-time combat images of the students.

"On my turn, Normal Summon Thunder King!"

"Activate the Trap Card [Massive Arrest]!"

"You have been deceived, so dissolve before Hanno's sublime power!"

"It's time. I'm going to open the cover card, [Cunning Fall]!"

"..."

Every picture of actual combat shows that in the current duels at the Duel Academy, the proportion of trap cards is far different from that of ordinary people, and how can such duels be exciting?

"Asshole! Asshole!" Cobra, his face flushed red, punched the equipment next to him: "This is not a duel at all, this is not a duel at all!"

"No, I must stop these guys." After taking a deep breath, Cobra's expression became increasingly resolute under the dim light: "I must - get the card duel back on track!"

...

Half an hour later, Cobra arrived deep in the forest west of Duel Academy.

There is a cliff here with a drop of tens of meters, and on the barren rock wall near the top of the cliff, there grows a tough pine tree.

On ordinary days, even the biting mountain wind cannot shake it.

But now, it is a little bent and deformed.

Because a thick rope was tied to its branch, and the other end was tied to a person's foot.

His dark skin, sturdy build, and mercenary tactical uniform all indicate that he is O'Brien, an exchange student from the Western Branch.

At this time, he was using this pine tree to hang himself upside down under the cliff.

Then, he closed his eyes, concentrated, tensed his whole body, and began to draw cards from the duel disk with his hands.

This was his way of practicing, honing his card-drawing ability amidst the extreme thrill of life and death.

However, a sudden call from the top of the cliff instantly woke him up from this state.

"O'Brien!"

"Yes, sir!"

He pressed a button beside him, and the rope lock at the top of the pine tree immediately pulled him back to the top of the cliff.

And the one who called him here was Professor Cobra.

Cobra looked around and confirmed that no one was around. He immediately said in a deep voice: "O'Brien, you still remember when you and your father were mercenaries together. Who was the one who led you when you were lost on the battlefield?"

"It's you, Professor!" O'Brien stood up straight and responded loudly.

"Very good!" Cobra nodded with satisfaction. "Then you will obey my orders as always, right?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Then, your first public opponent will be the academy's dueling robot!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Remember, you must defeat your opponent! Attack, attack, and attack continuously!"

Professor Cobra warned sternly, "You must always remember that the future of the duelist is entirely in your hands!"

"The path of a duelist is in my hands?" These words made O'Brien look a little confused. Shouldn't he be a mercenary?

Chapter 255: Type VI Robot: The first attack must be mine!

"Recently! I've noticed that some students in the academy always like to put too many trap cards into their decks. As a veteran in the dueling world, I can seriously and responsibly tell you that this behavior is incorrect!

A true duelist fights with passion, and how can a duelist's enthusiasm be extinguished by a newspaper? Therefore, I'm deliberately inviting O'Brien to a fair duel with your former instructor, the Type VI robot, to demonstrate to everyone what true passion duel truly is!

Soon after notifying O'Brien, the decisive Cobra summoned all the students to the duel hall and announced the start of the second exhibition competition.

"What on earth does this professor mean?" Judai frowned after hearing this. "Why does it feel like he wants to get involved in everything? Shouldn't things like deck style be entirely up to the duelists themselves..."

"It's indeed a bit strange to do this." Even John, who came to the Duel Academy with him, nodded in agreement after hearing Judai's words.

"Maybe he's used to having the final say at the Western branch," Misawa said, pointing to the online information on his notebook. "The information shows that our professor is a former military officer. He's been accustomed to strict discipline since he was a child. Perhaps that's why he's so meticulous and strict with everyone."

"Oh, forget it, let's wait and see." After reading the information, Judai temporarily let go of his vigilance against the other party.

"By the way, has anything strange happened recently?" After yawning, Judai began to ask his companions if there was any abnormal situation in the recent academy.

"Something strange?" Misawa thought hard for a moment, then finally shook his head. "No, really. If I had to say, it's just that the food in the store has been selling too well lately. Aunt Duomei has complained several times about not having enough people to stock up."

"Did everyone eat a lot?" Judai was extremely surprised. He had been feeling a little irritable in recent days and had very little appetite.

"Judai, you seem to be in a bad mood these past few days." Asuka on the other side carefully noticed Judai's changes: "Did something happen?"

"Well, didn't I tell you about the nightmare I had on the rooftop before?" Judai complained to his companions with a distressed look on his face, "Now the dream has changed again. Every time I fall asleep, a guy whose face I can't see comes running to challenge me to a duel."

"Puchi, Judai, it seems that your love of dueling is well-known in the ghost world. Even in your dreams, there are people who duel with you." It was obviously a troubling thing, but it made everyone around him laugh.

"Don't laugh, please." Judai looked at the group of people around him with a frown on his face. "Just try to imagine how uncomfortable it is to be harassed by someone in your dreams every day. The key is that guy is also using a hero deck, and his dueling level is still..."

At this point, Judai's face revealed an indescribable expression.

"Hahaha, maybe the ghost is longing for you, the invincible hero. Otherwise, you might as well teach him something next time he comes." John next to him finally couldn't help but joked.

"Huh? That seems like an idea." Judai took a deep breath, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that a duel was a promising idea.

John: “???”

"Very good, the duel begins now. The coin toss result is heads!"

Just as a few people below were chatting, Cobra finally finished his opening remarks and personally served as the referee to decide the duel.

He was not surprised to see the result. His coin was specially made and would definitely determine a situation favorable to his own player. This was a small advantage he had gained for O'Brien.

"Then this tournament will be led by Aubrey... Hey, robot over there, why are you drawing cards already?!"

Cobra, who was still declaring the right to attack first, noticed the movement of the Type VI robot and immediately slammed the blue light screen hard, protesting loudly.

However, Type VI Robot 1911, who was in the duel area, ignored him and officially began his round: "Dear duelist, I will first activate [Angel's Charity], draw three cards, and then discard two..."

...

"Really, who designed VI's first-attack logic..." Tendai couldn't help but complain after seeing this scene.

"Didn't you bring this guy back?" Manzhangmu in the back once again beat the disturbing Huang away, and then responded to Judai:

"I was just wondering, many people have tried to take initiative on VI, but were shocked to discover that the sixth card is forcibly locked before the opponent's turn begins. If you try to do this, you'll be subject to the opponent's electrotherapy."

When talking about this, Manzhangmu also had a face full of gritted teeth. In fact, in the past games against the Type VI robot, there were actually several times when he could have defeated the opponent with his cards, but this robot was a complete scapegoat and did not give him the chance to attack first.

Tendai: "..."

"Next, it's the Spell Card [Magic Eyes that Tear Time]!" The Type VI robot on the field activated the next card after completing the filter draw: "From next turn onward, the number of cards I draw will be fixed at two, and the number of Normal Summons I can perform per turn will also be increased to two."

After saying this, VI took another picture of the Duel Monster for this round: "Then, Normal Summon [Fossil Dinosaur Pachycephalosaurus]!"

"Roar!"

As a brown light flashed, a ferocious-looking swollen-headed dragon appeared on the field, its mouth wide open, and it let out a deafening roar.

The remaining four cards of the Type VI robot were covered up one by one in front of everyone.

"Four cards are covered to end this round. Honored Duelist, it is now your turn."

"This robot seems to be extremely difficult to deal with..." O'Brien, who was in the duel arena, became serious in an instant after hearing the other party's ending declaration.

Despite his rough appearance, he was incredibly focused during the duel, and VI's actions made him feel a sinking feeling in his heart:

"Cobra is right. The opponent's dueling style is filled with mystery, and for the duelists fighting against him, there is absolutely no passion at all."

"Then..." O'Brien placed his hand on the duel disk with a serious expression. "Let me deal with you. Draw a card!"

Chapter 256: O'Brien: I Almost Won

After carefully examining his six cards again, O'Brien played his first card with extreme caution.

"First, I'm going to activate the continuous spell [Volcano Wall]. Once per turn, I'll send three cards from the top of my deck to the Graveyard. If there are any Fire-Type monsters among them, inflict 3 damage to my opponent for each one. As a price, I can't declare an attack during the turn this effect is activated."

"It starts with a graveyard card, and it's a card that has a high probability of causing health damage." Even Judai himself was extremely surprised when he saw the first card O'Brien played.

It is permanent and only occurs once per round, and it also has a lottery-like damage effect. In the current 4000 health environment, even with the side effect of being unable to attack, it can be said to be an extremely powerful card.

The next scene surprised Judai even more: "VI didn't activate the cover card, is there no counter card in the backfield..."

At this time, O'Brien on the field had taken out the top three cards of the deck in succession. Although his opponent was a robot, he still showed these cards one by one.

They are: Monster Card [Flame Spark], [Volcano Bomb] and Continuous Magic [Flame Cannon].

"Because this includes two Flame monsters, you need to bear 1000 points of health damage!"

"Buzz! Buzz!"

As O'Brien finished speaking, two ferocious flaming shadows appeared in the backfield, and then flew towards the Type VI robot frantically.

Under the suicidal attack of the two, the health of the Type VI robot instantly dropped to 3000.

"Then there's the effect of Volcano Bomb." O'Brien, having successfully gained a slight advantage, immediately used the Graveyard effect: "While Volcano Bomb is in the Graveyard, once per turn, you can pay 500 Life Points and add another Volcano Bomb from your deck to your hand."

O'Brien LP: 4000->3500

"Next, summon Volcano Blade in Defense Position!"

"Iso! Iso!"

After a sharp and unpleasant hissing sound, a gray-scaled monster with the shape of a lizard but standing on two feet stepped onto the field.

Its entire body is covered with a gray shell, its head and tail are both cone-shaped, and it has two sharp claws under its belly that look like they were made of fine steel.

"Why is there still no response?" The successful completion of several operations in succession made O'Brien, a mercenary, full of doubts. However, judging from the current facts, perhaps he really had the upper hand and even had a chance of killing.

"Activate the effect of [Volcanic Blade], once per turn, during your main phase, dealing 500 HP damage to the opponent. The price I have to pay is the previously mentioned inability to attack."

At O'Brien's command, a scorching fireball erupted from the ferocious mouth of the volcanic blade and hit VI directly.

Type VI robot lp: 3000->2500

"Activate the Spell Card [Flame Soul]! Banish [Flame Spark] from the Graveyard. At the cost of being unable to attack, I inflict damage equal to half of its original attack power."

The third direct damage card was sent from O'Brien's hand, reducing the opponent's health to 1250.

"I remember now." Seeing the Type VI robot's lack of reaction, Judai finally discovered its weakness based on his past battles with it.

"The Type VI Robot's deck contains numerous cards like Thousand Check, Heroes, and Skill Drain, but these are completely useless against O'Brien's health-burning deck. Even if they can withstand Divine Proclamation for a moment, in a sense, they're actually accelerating their own defeat..."

"It seems to be true!" Wanzhangmu, who was standing by, pondered for a moment and was also shocked to discover this fact. He immediately clenched his fists excitedly and said, "I'll go find Aunt Duomei to open the health-reducing card pack, and then I'll beat it hard!"

"But this seems like O'Brien is really going to win." Judai looked towards the stands again with a serious look in his eyes. "And if he wins this match so easily, Cobra wouldn't really want to use it to promote his passionate duels."

To be fair, if there really is a duelist who can defeat VI with his own strength, Judai will still be extremely happy, because it means that he will have one more person to practice with.

But right now, at this critical juncture, if the red pit strategy is really cancelled, what is the next path? Burning blood? I feel that this is not much better.

Just as Tendai's thoughts were wandering, O'Brien's operations on the field were nearing the end. With a confident look on his face, he took out two more cards and placed them one on the left and one on the right in the Magic Trap area. "Finally, I will ambush two cards to end this round."

"Ding ding, open the cover!" The previously silent Type VI robot finally made a move at the end of the opponent's turn:

"Activate the Trap Card [Dogmat's Punishment], targeting [Volcano Blade] on your field, and send [Old God Nutz] from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard, destroying it immediately.

Next, activate the effect of [Nutz], targeting a face-down card in your backfield and destroying it directly."

The instant two effects were activated, O'Brien had two fewer cards on the field, and his confident smile came to an abrupt end.

"Damn, it's not that easy." O'Brien's expression turned cold in an instant. The two cards he covered were both normal traps [Draw Bomb], which had the effect of inflicting 1000 points of damage to the opponent when they drew a card.

If one of his cards hadn't been destroyed, he might have easily won the duel.
