Chapter 208: The Duel King's Ace
Chapter 208: The Duel King's Ace
"Duel!" x2
[You Xuan: LP 4000]
[Shinrasaka: LP 4000]
"Hmm, it looks like I'm going first." You Xuan glanced down at his Duel Disk.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter." Shinrasaka folded his arms, "With the strongest deck in my possession, there's no way I can lose now. It doesn't matter if I go first or second.
Against any student in this academy—even you, a duel is just child's play."
"You've really gotten into character, haven't you?"
However, what You Xuan thought was awesome wasn't so much the deck in his hand, but the person using that deck.
"Well, but going up against that deck, this deck might just be the perfect counter." You Xuan smiled and accepted the first turn without hesitation, "My turn, draw.
I activate the magic card 'Angel's Charity' to draw three cards from my deck and then discard two cards from my hand.
Now I activate this card."
You Xuan raised his arm, and an image of a magic card appeared before him.
"Quick-play magic—Spellbook Organization. I can confirm the top three cards of my deck."
He drew three cards in one breath, rearranged their order, and reinserted them into his deck.
"Put them back on top of your deck in the order you prefer."
Shinrasaka muttered, "Rearranging the order of your deck... Are you increasing the probability of certain combos appearing?"
He had studied and analyzed the decks of all the celebrities in the academy, but You Xuan's was the one he understood the least. Every time You Xuan played, his strategy was completely different, and it was challenging to grasp his thinking solely from these finished products.
However, Shinrasaka had noticed that You Xuan particularly liked to suddenly bring out various bizarre COMBOs that left his opponents bewildered.
"I'll set one monster face-up and one card face-down." You Xuan declared, "End turn."
"I don't know what your tactic is, but it won't work against me now! My turn, draw!" Shinrasaka declared, "I also activate the magic card 'Angel's Charity'! Draw three cards from your deck and then discard two cards from your hand.
Then I activate the magic card 'Silent Dead'! Revive a normal monster from your graveyard in face-up defense position!"
[Queen's Knight: 1600 DEF]
"Then I normal summon 'King's Knight'!"
[King's Knight: 1600 ATK]
The area where the two duelists were located was near the Yellow Dormitory, and even though it was late, there were still people passing by from time to time. A Yellow Dormitory student happened to walk by and pointed in their direction, "It looks like they're dueling over there!"
"Hmm? It's actually someone from the Yellow Dormitory dueling 'that person'. I can't believe there's someone in the Yellow Dormitory who dares to duel him."
"Wait, I just heard that the Duel King's deck was stolen. Doesn't that guy look like the culprit?"
"What?!?"
The fact that You Xuan was dueling in the Yellow Dormitory was already eye-catching enough, and with the added draw of the "Duel King's Deck," a large crowd of students was immediately drawn to the scene.
The Master of the Yellow Robes versus the Duel King's Deck!
This was the duel of the year.
"Hmph, excellent. It looks like even more people will witness me becoming the top duelist in the Yellow Dormitory." Shinrasaka's ego inflated to unprecedented levels, "Then watch closely, this is a king's duel!
I activate the effect of 'King's Knight'! When this card is successfully summoned, and 'Queen's Knight' is on the field, special summon 'Jack's Knight' from your deck!"
[Jack's Knight: 1900 ATK]
Among the students, there was a fan of the game who was extremely excited, "I know this combo! These are the Three Knights used by Yugi Muto to summon the Illusion God!"
To put it bluntly, they were sacrificial lambs.
"Hmph, unfortunately, this deck doesn't contain the Illusion God. But the synergy between my monsters is more than enough to make up for that." Shinrasaka declared, "I activate the magic card 'Royal Straight Flush' from my hand!
I tribute 'Queen's Knight', 'Jack's Knight', and 'King's Knight' from my field, special summon this card from my deck!"
The Three Musketeers turned into specks of light and disappeared, and their combined energy formed a summoning portal. Violent golden energy turbulences erupted from the portal, and a dignified swordsman, hand on his sword hilt, emerged from the vortex.
Full House, originally an ordinary magic card, was suddenly remembered by K Corporation years later and given a physical card release. It was also modified into a quick-play spell card, giving it a boost.
As the cloaked swordsman appeared, the surrounding students erupted in excitement.
"A legendary monster!"
"It's truly a monster used by the Duel King, so cool!"
"."
Shinrasaka relished the cheers of the crowd, as if they were praising him. With a wave of his hand, he continued his turn.
"The effect of Full House Swordsman activates once per turn. Send one Level 1 to Level 5 monster each from your deck to the graveyard, and destroy all cards on your opponent's field!"
He drew five cards from his deck in one breath and sent them to the graveyard.
"Sending five monsters of different levels to the graveyard, destroy all cards on your opponent's field!
Full House Destruction!"
The swordsman slashed with his blade, and the storm of sword energy swept through the field! You Xuan's monsters and facedown cards were swept into the air and shredded to pieces. Everyone caught a glimpse of the face-down card, "Holy Protection Shield - Reflective Barrier."
"The barrier of Reflective Barrier has been broken!" exclaimed a student. "Amazing, it's only the first turn, and he's already summoned such a powerful monster to clear the field."
"Is this the power of the Duel King's deck? Impressive."
"Hahaha, as I said, with this deck in my possession, I am invincible!" Shinrasaka boasted. "No amount of traps or tricks will work!
Not even the unspeakable legend of the Yellow Dormitory!"
Seeing Shinrasaka's inflated ego, You Xuan wanted to say, "No, you might not know how the owner of this deck was ultimately defeated. He certainly wouldn't agree with your theory that 'no trap can stop me'."
"Go, Full House Swordsman, direct attack!" Shinrasaka continued his assault, his confidence soaring. "Royal Destruction Slash!"
The swordsman, having cleared the field, leaped forward, his sword light slicing towards You Xuan's empty field.
"You think this is enough to guarantee victory? It seems you haven't learned much from the Duel King's deck." You Xuan chuckled.
"What?" Shinrasaka frowned.
"Then let me give you a little hint." You Xuan slowly raised his arm. "The true ace of Yugi Muto, the original Duel King."
A chill ran down Shinrasaka's spine.
The original Duel King's true ace? Could it be the Dark Magician?
"The effect of Clean Chestnut Ball in the graveyard activates." You Xuan explained, "When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack, banish this card from your graveyard and draw a card from your deck. If the drawn card is a monster, special summon it, and the attack target becomes that monster."
Shinrasaka: "!"
Clean Chestnut Ball in the graveyard!?
Clean Chestnut Ball was a card used by Yugi Muto in his final public duel against Seto Kaiba a few years ago.
Of course, by then, Atem had already left, and it was the present-day Yugi who dueled Kaiba.
The deck Shinrasaka was using was the one left by the original Yugi, Atem. Even in that demonstration deck, there was no Chestnut Ball.
Shinrasaka clicked his tongue. "But even so, you have to draw a monster card."
Shinrasaka: "!?!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he narrowed his eyes, realizing something amiss.
During the last turn, the Spellbook Organization card allowed You Xuan to rearrange the top three cards of his deck in any order he preferred. Therefore, since You Xuan activated the effect of Clean Chestnut Ball, the top card of his deck was undoubtedly a monster card.
"Drawing a card according to the effect of Clean Chestnut Ball."
You Xuan calmly drew a card and slammed it down without even looking at it.
"Special Summon 'Interdimensional Female Warrior' in face-down defense position.
Then, according to the effect of Clean Chestnut Ball, your 'Full House Swordsman' must attack my 'Interdimensional Female Warrior'."
Shinrasaka: "What!?"
