Chapter 120: That's Very Kind of You, Teacher
Chapter 120: That's Very Kind of You, Teacher
Long Ya: "It's my turn now. Draw!"
After drawing a card, he paused for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, with the lockdown created by 'Super Gravity Net' and 'Legendary City - Atlantis,' along with the combination of 'Abyss Soldier' and 'Killer Snake,' it's impressive that you came up with such a formidable lineup. But unfortunately, in the face of this card, your lockdown is as fragile as glass! I activate a Magic Card from my hand—
—Sweeping Eagle Feather!"
Destroy all Magic and Trap Cards your opponent controls!"
An incredibly powerful backrow removal spell used by May Valentine in the Duel Monsters anime, affiliated with the Eagle Spell Card group. Its effect description is straightforward and brutal.
The ultimate backrow sweeper!
"Hahahaha! Legendary City, Super Gravity Net, destroy them all!" Long Ya laughed, "It's a pity that you came up with such a lockdown formation, but it won't work against me!"
"Then, I chain a Set card, the Trap Card 'Thunder Break,'" You Xuan said as he opened his Set card, "Discard one card from your hand to destroy a card on the field."
He drew a card from his hand and placed it on the Duel Disk, and the card automatically slid into the Graveyard.
"I destroy your 'Darkness Triad Horror Dragon' on the field."
In mid-air, black clouds churned, and a demonic hand reached out. Lightning rained down from its fingertips. The hideous Horror Dragon was completely defenseless against the lightning and exploded with a loud bang, turning into smithereens.
"Damn, there's still a pitfall," Long Ya frowned, turning his mouth in distaste.
It was frustrating to see the Upper-Level Monster he had just summoned so easily dismissed, but it wasn't a big deal.
"However, your backrow will be swept away by the power of the feather sweep! Destroy it!"
The Super Gravity Net Trap exploded into pieces, and the gravitational restraints on the field immediately vanished. The eagle's feathers swept through the air, and the clear water projection suddenly turned murky. The magnificent underwater city was destroyed in the storm and collapsed in the raging flood.
"Now your disgusting one-sided lockdown has ended!"
A smile returned to Long Ya's face.
"Indeed. But the face-down card you just destroyed was the Magic Card 'Divine Calling.'" You Xuan said, "When this card is destroyed by an opponent's effect and sent to the Graveyard, select two Magic Cards from your Deck and Set them on the field." (Original effect)
The Duel Disk executed the search procedure, and two cards popped out with a swishing sound.
"I Set the second copy of the Field Magic Card 'Legendary City - Atlantis' and the Continuous Magic Card 'Level Restriction B Area' from my Deck to the field and backrow, respectively."
The smile that had just returned to Long Ya's face immediately vanished.
[Continuous Magic Card - Level Restriction B Area
Effect: All face-up monsters with 4 or more stars on the field must be changed to face-down Defense Position.]
Basically, it's a magic version of Super Gravity Net, an essential partner for early self-isolation.
Coupled with the other copy of Legendary City he had just searched for, it meant that this self-isolation lockdown formation would still be in place during You Xuan's next turn, leaving Long Ya unable to duel again.
Long Ya's jaw twitched.
No way, who the hell taught you how to duel like this?
"It's still my turn, Teacher," You Xuan reminded him with a smile.
"Shut up, I know," Long Ya said, a character resembling a well symbol appearing on his forehead.
Calm down, this brat is just trying to provoke me.
He realized that the opponent's initial sunny and polite image was just an act. This guy was actually heartless to the core, and both his dueling tactics and seemingly casual words were attempts to disrupt his rhythm.
The Continuous Magic Card wouldn't be able to activate until the next turn, so he still had room to maneuver this turn.
"I activate the Magic Card 'Angel's Charity.' Draw three cards from your Deck, then discard two cards from your hand," Long Ya said.
He drew some cards, selected two to discard, and then slammed a Monster Card on his hand.
"I summon 'Mercenary Rogue Force'!"
[Mercenary Rogue Force, ATK: 1000]
"The effect of Mercenary Rogue Force allows me to destroy a monster on the field by tributing itself," Long Ya said with a wave of his hand, "I tribute 'Mercenary Rogue Force' to destroy 'Abyss Soldier'!"
A violent one-for-one removal card, crude but effective. A large group of mercenaries rushed forward, surrounding the Abyss Soldier. Like human bombs, they self-destructed, creating a huge, smoking crater on the field.
"That damned soldier will retreat for now," Long Ya said, "Then, I activate the Magic Card 'Ultimate Evolution Pill' from my hand! Remove one Machine-Type and one Dinosaur-Type monster from your hand, field, or Graveyard, and Special Summon one Light-Attribute Dinosaur-Type monster from your hand or Deck!" (Anime effect)
This was also a Magic Card used by Manjome Thunder in the GX anime, but it took ten years for it to be made into an actual card.
"I remove the Dinosaur-Type 'Darkness Triad Horror Dragon' from my Graveyard and the Machine-Type 'Variable Machine Beast - Cannon Dragon' that was just discarded to the Graveyard. The combination of dinosaurs and machines will bring about the ultimate evolution! Witness my ace monster!"
A golden light shot out from Long Ya's Deck.
"A perfect masterpiece of technology and life fusion evolution, a form evolved over endless ages—
—I summon Cyber Dinosaur!!!"
A massive dinosaur clad in pure white armor shone with a cold luster. Its body, composed of countless precision electronic components, shimmered with cyan electric arcs, and each step it took seemed to thunder.
It was the very same ace monster used by Long Ya in the original work.
[Cyber Dinosaur / ATK: 2500]
"It's not over yet! Next, I activate the Magic Card, 'Double Attack!' Discard a monster card from your hand and select an opponent's monster with a lower level than the discarded monster. During this turn, you can attack twice with the selected monster.
I discard the Level 8 'Dragon Feet Dinosaur-Brontosaurus' from my hand to allow 'Cyber Dinosaur' to attack twice this turn!"
Some students in the audience began to stir.
"A follow-up attack after clearing the backrow, isn't this an OTK?"
"This new teacher is pretty strong."
"If this attack goes through, then what about You Xuan..."
The Cyber Dinosaur's double strike could deal 5000 damage, while You Xuan only had Bubbleman with 800 ATK on his field.
Long Ya's expression turned fierce.
Before that self-isolating lockdown takes effect again, I'll end this duel this turn!
"Then, let's battle! First, 'Cyber Dinosaur' attacks 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman'!"
The Cyber Dinosaur charged forward, its powerful mechanical jaws biting down. Sharp fangs like blades tore Bubbleman to pieces, and the impact caused You Xuan to take half a step back.
[You Xuan: LP 4000 → LP 2300]
The attack went through, and Long Ya couldn't suppress his joy any longer. He eagerly shouted, "Cyber Dinosaur, attack again! Second strike! Direct attack! I win this duel!"
"Hold on, Teacher. You might not have noticed, but the card I discarded as the cost for activating 'Thunder Break' earlier was this card."
You Xuan smiled and revealed a card that had been sent to the Graveyard.
"'Executioner-Devil Asura.' When this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can activate a Trap Card from my hand during the same turn."
Long Ya: "!!!"
Activate from the hand?!
"So, at the moment of the direct attack, I activate this card from my hand."
You Xuan played a card from his hand, and the image of a Trap Card appeared before him.
"Trap Card, Ripple Shield—Wave Power!
When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack, return all their Attack Position monsters on the field to their owner's deck!"
"Na-na-ni?!?"
Long Ya instantly donned a mask of pain.
Ya meigo (Stop)!!!
But it was too late. A light blue water shield had already formed in front of You Xuan. The clumsy Cyber Dinosaur rammed into the water shield and was instantly submerged, looking lost. It was then washed away by the water and turned back into a beam of golden light that flew back into Long Ya's deck.
Teacher Long Ya's eyes turned red.
My Cyber Dinosaur...
This time, it didn't even return to his hand but went straight back into the deck.
Moreover, this left him with an empty field and no cards in his hand. In the blink of an eye, his fortunes had reversed from what seemed like a sure victory to bitter defeat. Dueling was indeed like life, full of ups and downs.
With Long Ya having no cards left, there was obviously nothing he could do. He could only grit his teeth and end his turn under the friendly urging of his opponent.
"My turn, draw. In the Standby Phase, 'Killer Snake' returns from the Graveyard to my hand."
You Xuan cheerfully recovered the Killer Snake from the Graveyard. Seeing this card again, Long Ya's eyes seemed to turn even redder.
"Then, I Normal Summon the second 'Abyss Soldier.'"
[Abyss Soldier / ATK: 1800]
"Next, I activate the two cards you helped me search for last turn.
First is the Field Magic Card 'Legendary City—Atlantis,' which lowers the Level of my Abyss Soldier to 3.
Then, I activate the Continuous Magic Card 'Level Restriction B Area,' which changes all face-up monsters with 4 or more stars on the field to face-down Defense Position.
Oh, and due to the effect of Legendary City, the ATK of Abyss Soldier increases."
[Abyss Soldier / ATK: 1800 → ATK: 2000]
Long Ya's facial muscles twitched.
Back again, it's back again.
That familiar formation, that familiar feeling.
"Abyss Soldier's direct attack."
The trident pierced his heart, leaving him with a chilling feeling throughout his body.
[Long Ya: LP 4000 → LP 2000]
Long Ya clutched his heart, gritting his teeth.
"I set one card, and my turn is over." You Xuan smiled. "Your turn, Teacher."
Long Ya kept a straight face.
It's not over yet.
He could still draw cards and had a chance.
But it was just a one-way self-isolating lockdown with a 3-star 2000 ATK monster and an infinite hand-looping combo. I'll turn this around with a godly card draw!
"I activate my Set card, the Trap Card 'Drop Off.' During your Draw Phase, discard the card you drew." You Xuan said politely.
Long Ya: "."
Spectators: "."
The card he had just drawn was sent straight to the Graveyard without even getting a chance to see it clearly, leaving an eerie silence in the room.
A chilly wind seemed to blow through the arena.
"Hmm, Teacher, aren't you going to do anything this turn? You're too kind. Well, your waiting time is up, and it's my turn again. I draw."
You Xuan waved his hand.
"Abyss Soldier, direct attack."
[Long Ya: LP 2000 → LP 0]
