Chapter 737: The Genius Doctor
Chapter 737: The Genius Doctor
Sato Daichi was the first to exclaim in surprise, "Doctor?"
The other two looked at him strangely.
"Do you know him?"
"Don't you?" Sato responded, turning to face them with an incredulous expression.
"He's a towering figure in Duel Physics, a heavyweight, and a Nobel Prize winner! He's Dr. Einstein!"
You Xuan: "?"
The name Einstein alone was odd enough, but what was this Nobel Prize?
But as Sato mentioned it, it seemed vaguely familiar.
In GX, there was a doctor with this name, and true to his name, he was a caricature of a famous person, known for his eccentricities. The doctor's debut even featured him sticking his tongue out at the camera, almost as if the word 'homage' was written on his face.
In the anime, this Dr. Einstein was summoned by Saiou, the brainwashed and albino Ojama Yellow, to duel and defeat Judai, and take the key to activate the Sky Satellite from him.
Of course, the outcome was predictable. The doctor's logic and calculations were no match for Judai's godly draws, and he was easily defeated, once again upholding the pride of the God Draw faction.
"Oh? A student who knows me?" Dr. Einstein looked at Sato with satisfaction, nodding approvingly, and a smile that suggested he was pleased to find a young fan.
"Of course! You're my idol, Doctor!" Sato's face lit up with enthusiasm. "I've read all your papers, especially your Grand Unified Theory of Duels. It's brilliant!"
Dr. Einstein was pleased to meet a fan and nodded slightly. "You're a smart kid. I can personally guide you in the future. But today, I have other tasks at hand."
He narrowed his eyes and looked at You Xuan.
"Young Duel King, are you willing to test your skills against an old man's Physical Duel?"
Physical Duel
You Xuan found the term odd, somehow conjuring images of a dueling style involving physical contact and action elements.
Sato, who had just been an enthusiastic fan, now wore a complex expression as he heard the doctor's challenge, "Is the doctor challenging You Xuan to a duel?"
Dr. Einstein smiled at his young fan, "What's wrong? Are you worried about your friend?"
Sato shook his head, "No, I'm afraid that if you lose to You Xuan, you'll retire from the dueling world and stop your research."
Dr. Einstein: "..."
Hearing this from even his fan, the old man felt a little embarrassed and hummed in response, "The title of Duel King may be impressive, but I don't usually duel publicly, nor do I compete for rankings. If you think you can easily defeat me and claim victory, think again."
"Just a quick question."
You Xuan stepped forward, glancing at the doctor's outfit, which was so white it was almost blinding.
"I'll take a guess. Are you here on behalf of the Light Society?"
"The Society's theories are intriguing, and their understanding of people, duels, and the universe aligns with my Grand Unified Theory." Dr. Einstein explained, "But dueling you is something I've wanted to do for a while. It doesn't matter who I'm dueling for."
"Of course not."
You Xuan smiled and set up the duel disk.
"I'd like to experience firsthand the famous Dr. Einstein's Duel Theory."
"Duel!" x2
[You Xuan, LP: 4000]
[Einstein, LP: 4000]
"I'll go first. Draw!" Dr. Einstein declared, "I activate the Field Spell, 'Relativity Field'!" (Canon Card)
As the Field Spell was activated, the surroundings transformed instantly.
The classroom projection transformed into a pitch-black starry sky, resembling the vast universe.
"Relativity Field?" Himawari asked in surprise, "I've never heard of this card."
"Hehe, of course not. This is my personal research, so it's not something you'd find out there," Dr. Barinstein explained with a mischievous smile.
"In this field, whenever either player's Life Points are reduced, all monsters on the field at that time, until they leave the field, must also reduce their attack by the same amount of Life Points lost."
"So, it's a field that binds LP damage to the power of monsters?" Himawari commented.
"Then, I'll set a monster in Defense Position from my hand, and end my turn."
"The legendary genius Duel Physics Master," Sato exclaimed with anticipation, "His Duel must have some unique aspects to it."
"Then, it's my turn. I draw a card."
You Xuan drew a card, glanced at it, and immediately revealed his hand.
The correct version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar Original Novel.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Name Inference.' The opponent declares any level from 1 to 12, and I draw cards from the top of my deck until I reveal a monster that can be Normal Summoned.
If the level of the monster matches the declared level, all revealed cards are sent to the Graveyard. Otherwise, that monster can be Special Summoned."
"Declare a level?" Dr. Barinstein asked with a smile, "Statistically speaking, the most likely level is four. So, I declare level four."
You Xuan flipped through six cards in one go, and the seventh card revealed a summonable monster.
"A monster that can be Normal Summoned, 'Mech Force Fortress'," You Xuan announced, "It's level seven, different from the declared level.
Therefore, 'Mech Force Fortress' is Special Summoned."
[Mech Force Fortress, ATK 2500]
"Oh? Such a powerful monster right from the start?"
Dr. Barinstein narrowed his eyes.
"At this moment, I discard 'Singularity Devil' and a Spell Card from my hand, activating its effect.
When this card and another Spell Card from my hand are discarded when an opponent's monster is Special Summoned, that Special Summon becomes invalid, and the monster is destroyed." (Original Card)
In the anime, Dr. Barinstein used this card to invalidate and destroy Judai's Flame Wingman, summoned using a Fusion Spell.
"The effect of Singularity Devil, destroy Mech Fortress!"
A red demonic shadow flashed across You Xuan's field, emitting an eerie laugh as if in mockery. Its arms spread out, and a blood-colored vortex opened in the cosmic space, sucking in the newly summoned Mech Fortress, which exploded with a loud bang.
"Impressive," You Xuan nodded in admiration.
This was not a mockery but a genuine exclamation. Dr. Barinstein's deck consists of anime-original cards, and in the setting, it is the result of his personal research, making it exclusive to him.
Not to mention other cards, but this one that can counter Special Summons during the opponent's turn is quite formidable. This card made You Xuan immediately think of the well-known Flash Knight series, a sister card group known for countering Special Summons while accumulating resources in the Graveyard, which should prove useful.
"Then, I activate the Spell Card 'Takeover Five,' sending the top five cards from my deck to the Graveyard."
You Xuan drew five cards from the top of his deck and sent them all to the Graveyard.
Dr. Barinstein furrowed his brows, sensing an unusual aura.
Over ten cards sent to the Graveyard in the first turn?
