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

"Aha!?" After hearing the name of this card, Judai was startled and almost dropped the cards in his hand.

"Are you okay?" Jim frowned and looked at Judai. Could this guy also be a dinosaur man?

"No, it's okay." Judai quickly regained his composure and asked subconsciously, "Demon rescue?"

"What..." Jim, who had no trouble understanding the other party's words, asked back as he selected the card he wanted to use from his deck. "I'll send the four-star [Weathered Warrior] to the graveyard, and then, based on its effect, add a [Fossil Fusion] to my hand."

"Okay, I'm fine, you can continue." Judai, who had regained his composure, looked at the opposite side calmly.

"You..." After looking at Judai in confusion again, Jim began his subsequent operation: "Then the normal magic [Specimen Viewing]!"

After showing Judai the new Spell Card and [Fossil Fusion], he explained its activation effect: "After showing [Fossil Fusion] to your opponent, you can send a monster from your hand to the Graveyard, then declare a Type and a Star Rank. You need to check your hand and deck, and send a monster with the declared Type and Level to the Graveyard."

After finishing his introduction, Jim immediately pointed at the [Gorgon that Devours Millions] on the field and said, "I'm going to declare a one-star, Demon-type card. Judai, you should have some cards in your deck that meet the requirements."

In fact, Jim was also a little nervous. After all, what Judai brought out this time was not his signature [Hero] deck, and he had just eliminated ten cards indiscriminately. He couldn't be sure whether the other party still had such cards, but apart from this, there seemed to be no better choice.

But it turned out that he made the right bet.

Chapter 261: Red Lotus Monster vs. Moon Mirror Swollen-headed Dragon

"Oh my, this is a bit unlucky." After flipping through the main deck, Judai immediately realized that the [Pot of Greed and Greed] from the previous turn had eliminated one of his [Gluttony, a Million-Eating Beast], and the last one...

Judai had no choice but to take out the last card in his hand, [Gluttony], and send it to the graveyard.

"Lucky! Looks like I'm really lucky." Seeing that he had accidentally destroyed one of Judai's cards, Jim's mood suddenly brightened up. "Next, I'm going to activate the Spell Card [Fossil Fusion]."

This card can be Special Summoned from your or your opponent's Graveyard by removing the materials determined by the [Fossil Fusion] Fusion Monster from the Graveyard, then selecting a Fusion Monster with [Fossil] in its name from the Extra Deck!

I will banish the [Weathered Warrior] in my graveyard and the [Million-Eating Glutton] in your graveyard, then use Attack Position to Fusion Summon [Cenozoic Fossilized Motorcycle Skeleton ATV]!"

A fusion monster with a very long card name was selected and placed in the monster grid area on the left.

"Then it's this card!" After the fusion summon was completed, the new duel monster was placed in the central area with great calmness.

"Huh, it's actually a [Pachycephalosaur]?" Looking at the familiar monster in front of him, Judai was also surprised.

"That's right. From now on, we can't Special Summon each other." Jim grinned and placed another card in the Magic Trap Zone. "[Pachycephalosaurus] is extremely easy to deal with because of its only 1200 attack points. But with this card, its weakness is completely compensated."

"Moon Mirror Swollenhead Dragon?" After discovering that Jim actually took out such a card, Judai was speechless for a moment. He originally thought that the other party was deploying a deck, but it turned out that they were both newspaper publishers.

"Bingo!" Jim snapped his fingers and launched his attack for this round: "[Skeleton ATV], attack the [Glutton] on the field!"

"Then I will also activate the effect of [Gluttony] once per turn. At the beginning of the Damage Step when this card battles an opponent's monster, banish that opponent's monster face-down." Judai smiled softly and gave the result: "Your first attack will end in failure."

"No, no, no!" Jim showed the [Fossil Fusion] in the graveyard. "A monster created by fusion with this card cannot become the target of a monster's effect."

He looked a little proud. Facing Judai's card with an attack power of ?, he had deliberately used this monster with a hidden effect to attack.

"Well, but the effect of [Gluttony] doesn't depend on the target." Judai smiled and emphasized the ability of [Gluttony].

"What!" Jim's smile froze instantly. After thinking about it carefully, he also realized this.

"Unbelievable!" Jim was amazed at the effect of the Tenth Generation card. "It's face-down, banishing anything without taking a target. What a sharp effect! I can't believe this thing is just a one-star monster."

As soon as these words were spoken, they gained the approval of several people watching the game. Based on the two effects just displayed, it would not be an exaggeration to label this card as eight stars.

"But I won't give up so easily." After regrouping, GM immediately pointed at another monster on the field and said, "Now, it's Pachycephalosaurus' turn to attack. Because Gluttonus's effect is already active, he can't use it this turn."

"But you haven't forgotten my face-up card." Judai flipped open the center continuous trap: "Target the [Pachycephalosaurus] on the field."

"Stop, Stop!" Jim quickly slapped the last card in his hand: "Quick-attack magic [Whirlwind], destroy the [Massive Arrest] on your field."

"I almost had to work for your monster." Jim patted his heart, still a little frightened.

"Then let him be destroyed like this!" Judai also sent [Gluttony] to the cemetery very decisively, while John, who was sitting on the ground beside him, took out a pen and paper and formally deducted a hundred points from Judai's LP.

"OK, I'll end this round like this!" Seeing that the attack finally worked, Jim adjusted the cowboy hat on his head and declared the end of the round.

Although he has used up all the cards, there is still a [Pachycephalosaurus] with [Moon Mirror Shield] left on the field. As long as this card in the backfield exists on his field, its attack power will always be one hundred higher than Judai's, and he is close to victory.

Jim couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he thought of this.

"My turn, draw a card!"

However, for Judai on the other side, he seemed to have found the answer to victory. After adding the card he just drew to his hand, he declared the start of the main stage.

"Then it's this card!" He couldn't wait to place the three-star monster in the center of the tenth generation's hand in the center of the duel field, confronting [Pachycephalosaurus].

"Why is there another monster with an attack power of?" Jim's brows frowned instantly. Can't the duel monster of this Judai guy have a more serious attack power? But looking at the effect bar, it seems very short, so it shouldn't be very powerful, right?

"The effect of [Red Lotus Beast Tower Isha]!" Judai immediately explained: "This card's attack and defense will be changed to the number of banished cards multiplied by 400."

"What?" Jim and even the other three people watching the game looked at the card excluded by Judai in shock.

"You have eliminated a total of 15 cards..."

"That's right, so the attack power of [Red Lotus Demon Beast] will be changed to 6000 points."

"Wow, wow, wow, this is too crazy." Jim took off his cowboy hat and fanned it fiercely. "Six thousand attack points, how can this still be considered a three-star monster?"

"Yeah, yeah, this is too strong." Even Kenzan, who was in the same group as Juudai, couldn't help but question this monster.

"Don't forget," Judai quickly stated to everyone, "Its attack power depends on the cards I banish. If I don't have any banished cards, it will be zero."

"It seems so..." Jim and others looked thoughtful.

"Hmph, but don't forget the [Moon Mirror Shield]. Even if your monster's attack power is higher than that of a god, it will now be lower than that of a [Pachycephalosaur]!" After the shock, Jim calmed down again and looked confident.

"I haven't forgotten it yet." Judai immediately cast a quick-play spell in his hand: "Activate [Named One of Obliteration], banishing [Pachycephalosaurus] from my deck. Its effect will be negated for this turn."

"I didn't expect you to bring a Pachycephalosaurus with you." Jim gave Judai a look that said, "You have great taste." "Looks like you can recruit now, but how do you deal with the Moon Mirror Shield?"

"Of course, this is how we solve it!" Judai opened the cover card in the backfield: "First, the Continuous Trap [Summon Limiter]."

"?" Jim was confused. "This card shouldn't be able to deal with Moon Mirror Shield, right?"

"That's right." Judai nodded, "But if it's combined with another card, that might not be the case."

Another card that was face down in the backfield was also revealed by Judai: "Activate the Continuous Trap [Yodo God Apip]. After activating this card, you can transform it into a Normal Monster and Special Summon it in the Monster Zone."

"The Reptilians' sustainable trap..." Jim looked at it in surprise. "Although it's interesting, it's useless."

"No, it does have an additional effect." Judai smiled confidently, explaining its subsequent ability: "When [Apipu] is Special Summoned, it can also select a number of opponent's face-up cards equal to the number of Continuous Trap Cards on your field, negating their effects until the End Phase."

"Permanent Trap Card?"

"That's right." Judai pointed to the [Summoning Limiter] in his own field, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"According to the effect of [Apipu], I will negate your backfield's [Moon Mirror Shield] until the end of the turn."

"Very good, then the battle will begin now!" Even though he was just sitting on the ground, Judai was quite excited to start the battle phase.

Chapter 262: Chrollos: I think I can be the principal!

"Oh my god!" Jim slapped his head. "Six thousand minus twelve hundred, so I just lost?"

Looking at his empty field, his eyes were filled with depression. Although he realized that he was very likely to lose the duel, it was too fast.

"Wuhu, the tenth-generation elder brother is indeed the strongest!" Jianshan roared with great excitement.

"Awesome, awesome!" John clapped his hands excitedly. Finally, another transfer student had the same ending as him. It was really... awesome!

"Do you feel anything unusual in your body right now?" Misawa, who was the last one standing, was extremely calm. He began to ask the two about their other conditions: "For example, hunger, body aches, etc."

"Huh? How could that happen?" Judai didn't understand what Misawa meant. "It's just sitting on the ground playing cards. It can't be that serious."

"Wait! You mean..." But Jim, who had occasionally dueled before, immediately realized: "Yeah, after dueling with the people from the academy, I always wanted to go for a big meal, but this time..."

"It seems there's something wrong with this thing." Misawa raised the duel bracelet on his right arm and waved it in front of everyone. "My previous guess was correct. The duel bracelet can not only be used to detect the will of the duelists during a duel, but it also seems to be used to extract the energy between the two sides in battle."

Upon hearing this, Jim bared his teeth and raised the duel bracelet on his wrist. "Are you saying that my previous condition was caused by this thing?"

"That's a possibility," Misawa continued. "I've carefully observed some students who were still dueling. They all showed signs of fatigue, hunger, and other weakness after the duel. However, each person's condition was different. Some had mild symptoms, while others had extremely severe ones."

"Right." Jianshan suddenly realized something and used his own example: "Now that you mention it, it's true. I had a duel with one of my own brothers before, and right after the duel, I felt hungry and sleepy. That feeling was really uncomfortable."

"Now that you mention it," Judai followed up, "After John and I finished our duel, I felt strangely hungry too. I even ate two extra bowls of dinner."

"Me too, me too!" John actively joined in the discussion as he suddenly realized what was going on.

"You guys..." Misawa looked at them helplessly: "Then why didn't you explain it last time in the infirmary?"

"Because there's no way to connect the two things," Judai said gloomily. "Cobra is our academy's newly hired professor. I've even seen his file. He's a military man who taught at the Southern Branch. His record has always been spotless. What's his motive for harming us?"

After this exchange, everyone has become aware of the superficial truth of the matter.

"Shit! It was that guy Cobra who was doing this behind the scenes!" Jim had now completely forgotten about causing trouble for Jianshan. Now he wanted to settle the score with the guy who came to the academy with him.

"Wait a minute, why can't I take this thing off?" John, who was trying to remove the duel bracelet, suddenly said in panic, "You don't want me to chop my hand off, do you?"

Misawa: "..."

"It's not that easy, so why not try using a screwdriver? If that doesn't work, I mailed a Duelist to the Kaiba Group a few days ago. I'd like to ask them to help analyze its composition, or maybe send professionals to the academy later."

"Hey, Misawa, you're really the most thoughtful one." Judai patted the other's shoulder happily. "With you around, my mind feels a lot more relaxed."

"...The most urgent matter," Misawa said, looking helplessly at the people in front of him, "We need to immediately ask all students in the academy to suspend all duels and find Cobra himself to give us an explanation."

...

"boom!"

In the abandoned laboratory, Cobra, who had watched this scene through surveillance equipment, punched the control panel, his teeth clenched, a very unpleasant look on his face: "Damn it, I was discovered so quickly."

After looking at the dazzling screen in front of him, he suddenly fell silent, then turned and walked towards the outskirts of the laboratory.

Since the way to collect energy from the academy is cut off, he can only open up new roads.

Fortunately, he found new hope in the archives of the Duel Academy.

As for these guys from the academy, Cobra's sharp eyes lingered on another location on the surveillance screen for a while, and he finally gave up his next plan.

"Hmph, the young master of the Garlem Group." The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Thank those guys very much, they saved your life."

...

"Is this the place..."

A few hours later, Cobra, holding the file, crossed mountains and rivers and arrived at a new area.

This was a dormitory that flourished for a while after the Duel Academy was founded but was quickly abandoned.

The file in his hand detailed the disappearance of Tenjouin Fubuki, the former top student of Obelisk Blue, and his subsequent oral account.

"Two years ago, that guy entered a different dimension here because of a dark duel. According to his description, it's filled with corrupted duelists, engaged in endless battles day and night." The light in Cobra's eyes grew brighter.

"If you enjoy fighting so much, you wouldn't mind wearing the duel bracelets again, right? It's perfect for you to use your remaining energy to fight for that master's resurrection."

After shouting excitedly, Cobra couldn't wait to enter this mysterious land.

...

"Mamma Mia, what kind of person did the principal recruit?"

On the other side, after the students learned about Cobra's inexplicable intentions from Judai, Kurolos and Coach Napoleon were so anxious that they ran around with their heads in their hands.

As the head of the Duel Academy, if these students make any mistakes, they will definitely be visited by a large number of parents, and they will have to commit suicide by seppuku within minutes.

"That's really too much, Noone!"

"That's right, Principal Samejima, you must give us an explanation!"

The two who came to the principal's office with Judai kicked open the door.
