Chapter 236: You Actually Brought a Second Deck?

As Asuka and Kaizar continued their analysis, they were taken aback by You Xuan's next move.

"I summon Cyber Dragon!"

Cyber Dragon: ATK 0

"Cyber Dragon?" Asuka exclaimed, instinctively turning to Kaizar in surprise.

Marufuji Ryo's initial reaction was also one of astonishment, but he quickly regained his composure. "The treasure of the Cyber-style is indeed the Cyber End Dragon. While it's not commonly seen, the other cards in the set aren't particularly rare."

After all, there were many apprentices in their Cyber-style dojo, and although Marufuji Ryo was the sole inheritor of the Cyber End Dragon, the other disciples used Cyber-style decks as well.

It was common knowledge that You Xuan was the hottest scientific big shot in the academy, collaborating with the two major imprint card manufacturers. So, it wasn't strange for him to pull out a Cyber-series card.

"Oh, is You Xuan going to use a Cyber-style deck too?" Judai asked expectantly.

"Not exactly," You Xuan smiled.

It was one thing to throw in a few insignificant cards or small combos, but he felt it was a bit forced to mix in completely unrelated decks.

In fact, the Cyber Dragon used to be a common external attachment in competitive environments. It boasted three effects: blocking attacks to forcibly end the battle phase, drawing cards, and recycling cards from the graveyard, making it very efficient. In the early years, it was a popular choice for both mainstream and gimmick decks.

"The effect of Cyber Dragon allows me to banish itself and another monster on my field to draw two cards from my deck," You Xuan explained.

"I banish Cyber Dragon and 'Darkness Mask' on the field to draw two cards," he continued.

The Cyber Dragon glowed with a golden aura, enveloping itself and Darkness Mask before both turned into specks of light and vanished.

You Xuan drew two more cards and then revealed one of them.

"Next, the effect of 'Candy Clown' in my hand allows me to special summon it directly."

Candy Clown: ATK 0

"Then, I'll offer up the Candy Clown, a magician of the Spellcaster tribe."

The clown dissolved into specks of light, and a pristine magic array formed on the ground.

"With silent wings of hope, the Magician of Light appears—

—'Silent Magician' is summoned!"

A storm of magical light and a whirlwind of radiance revealed a robed magician with long, slender legs that peeked out from beneath the swirling robe. The vortex of magic converged into her pure white staff.

Silent Magician: ATK 1000

"So many aces in one turn," Judai chuckled.

"The attack power of Silent Magician increases by 500 for each card in my hand," You Xuan explained. "I have three cards left, so its attack increases by 1500 points."

Silent Magician: ATK 1000 → ATK 2500

"Silent Magician, attack 'Elemental Hero Wingman'! Silent Magic Burst!"

A milky-white magic light bomb exploded, instantly shattering Wingman into pieces that dissipated in the white light.

"Then, I'll set three cards face-down and end my turn."

Silent Magician: ATK 2500 → ATK 1000

"You're focusing more on backrow defense than attack power. That's a choice that fits You Xuan's style," Judai commented.

"Alright, I can't slack off either! My turn, draw!"

Judai drew a card and then pulled another from his hand.

"I activate this card from my hand—

—Magic Card 'R-Rightful Judgment'! Depending on the number of 'Elemental Heroes' on my field, I can choose to destroy any number of Spell and Trap Cards on the field."

"Excellent!" Marufuji Sho praised. "When facing You Xuan, the biggest threat indeed lies in the backrow."

"Indeed," Mizawa smiled. "But will it be that easy to get through?"

You Xuan replied, "Then I activate the effect of 'Silent Magician'. Once per turn, I can negate and destroy the activation of a Spell Card.

I negate and destroy the activation of 'R-Rightful Judgment'.

I send "Elemental Hero Bladedge" to the graveyard and draw two cards.'

Judai drew two cards.

'Then, at this moment, I chain "Horse Bone's Bargain" to activate a face-down card, the Continuous Trap, "Convenience!" You Xuan declared. 'It can be activated when your opponent draws cards outside of their Draw Phase, allowing me to draw two cards from my deck each time they do so afterward.'

In the real-card environment, it was a perpetually unpopular cold card, but after testing it once, You Xuan discovered that in this world of animated duels, it was surprisingly powerful.

True to his prediction, Judai soon revealed another hand.

'I activate the Magic Card, "A Hero Lives!" When there are two or more 4-star or higher "Elemental Heroes" in my graveyard, I draw three cards from my deck!' (Original effect)

In the original story, it was the most violent survival tool for heroes. So, You Xuan casually followed up with, "Then, due to the effect of 'Convenience,' when my opponent draws cards from their deck outside of their Draw Phase, I also draw two cards."

'Now, I Normal Summon "Elemental Hero Bubbleman!"' Judai continued.

[Elemental Hero Bubbleman: ATK 800]

'Hmm?' You Xuan raised an eyebrow.

Didn't your Bubbleman just go to the graveyard?

Or...

As if reading his confusion, Judai nodded and chuckled, 'Remember that time we were having dinner and chatting? You mentioned that my Bubbleman was actually underrated and could be extremely powerful. The more I thought about your various analytical scenarios, the more I realized you were right. So, I brought along two more copies.'

You Xuan took a deep breath.

Wow, I just mentioned it in passing, and you actually brought a second deck?

'Well, but now I have "Skyscraper" and a face-down card on my field, so I can't use Bubbleman's effect to draw more cards,' Judai said.

'However, I'll activate the Quick-Play Spell, "Bubble Shuffle" from my hand!' Judai declared. 'It changes both my "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" and one attacking monster on the opponent's field to Defense Position! I change Bubbleman and "Chaos Soldier - Messenger of Chaos" to Defense Position!'

[Elemental Hero Bubbleman: ATK 800 → DEF 1200]

[Chaos Soldier - Messenger of Chaos: ATK 3000 → DEF 2500]

'After that, I can use the now-defensive Bubbleman as a Tribute to Special Summon an "Elemental Hero" from my hand,' Judai explained.

'I Tribute "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" and Special Summon this card from my hand—

—Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman!'

A stream of foamy water burst from beneath Bubbleman's feet, engulfing him before a golden, blade-wielding warrior with a metallic sheen took his place.

[Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman: ATK 2600]

'Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman, attack "Chaos Soldier - Messenger of Chaos!" Judai commanded. 'And at this moment, the effect of "Skyscraper!"

When an Elemental Hero battles a monster with higher ATK, its ATK increases by 1000!'

'Oh, right!' Marufuji Sho realized. 'Skyscraper only mentions "battling a monster with higher ATK" and doesn't specify that the opponent's monster has to be in Attack Position.

Although the Chaos Soldier has been switched to Defense, its ATK is still higher than that of Shining Flare Wingman. So, his ATK will increase to 3600.'

'Not only that, but Shining Flare Wingman has a piercing effect when attacking Defense Position monsters,' Mizawa added. 'This attack can deal massive damage.'

'Impressive. But...'

You Xuan waved his arm, and the face-down card at the back row flipped, unleashing a dazzling golden light.

'I activate the Trap Card, "Magic Cylinder"!'
