Chapter 858: Love's Maiden
Chapter 858: Love's Maiden
"You Xuan!"
As You Xuan, standing in the Duel Arena, witnessed the excited figure of a girl in the Huang Dormitory uniform running towards him, her eyes sparkling like a starry sky, he couldn't help but feel a sudden urge to tease her.
"You Xuan, you're supposed to be a fan of Jida, right?"
And before that, weren't you supposed to be in the Osiris Red Dormitory?
Reiko Ayegumo was a gifted student who had skipped grades and was admitted to Duel Academy ahead of her peers. According to her age, she should still be in middle school. Due to her exceptional performance, she was promoted early and enrolled in Duel Academy. Her notable performance in the GX Tournament further increased her chances of being admitted to the elite Blue Dormitory.
However, in the original story, she insisted on giving up the opportunity to join the elite dorm, choosing to stay in the Red Dormitory. Her reason was simple: to get closer to Jida.
Reiko was a hopeless romantic, and she had secretly infiltrated Duel Academy during her elementary school years to get closer to her idol, Shoutarou Marutou.
But after being defeated by Jida in a duel at the Academy, her affections shifted to him. She came to Duel Academy primarily with the goal of getting closer to Jida.
But now, as You Xuan observed the yellow vest on the girl and her sparkling eyes, he realized that Jida's fangirl might have transferred her affections to him. He felt a twinge of guilt, as he had never even met her before. During their first year, he hadn't taken her turn in the duel, so it was indeed Jida who had played his turn.
Reiko, blushing, stepped into the Duel Arena, "You Xuan, I came to Duel Academy because of you. I've dreamed of this moment, just once, to have the chance to duel with you."
The freshmen in the audience, especially the younger girls, understood her feelings perfectly.
Many of the freshmen had come to Duel Academy with the hope of getting close to the legendary duelist, eager for a chance to interact with the pinnacle of the dueling world.
Known for his humor and entertaining dueling style, You Xuan always brought joy to others. His handsome looks and sunny smile only added to his charm. However, the upperclassmen didn't share this sentiment.
They believed that the freshmen were naive and fearless, unaware of the challenges ahead. They couldn't understand why anyone would dream of dueling with the master of the Yellow Dormitory.
You Xuan took his position on one side of the Duel Arena.
The Vampire Princess teased him from the side, "You're quite popular with the ladies, Master."
Silence, standing nearby, rolled his eyes in response.
"It's nothing, just a young girl," You Xuan shrugged, "There's no need to boast about being admired by an innocent middle schooler."
After a brief pause, he smiled.
"Besides, with my exceptional abilities, isn't it natural to have numerous admirers?"
Eye: "."
Even the usually chatty spirit was momentarily speechless, perhaps contemplating the connection between thick-skinned individuals and their dueling prowess. After all, there's a saying that goes, 'Those without shame are invincible.'
Meanwhile, Silence, standing beside him, saw nothing wrong with his statement and even nodded in agreement, suggesting that it was only natural for such a talented and handsome individual to be admired.
"Then, from this moment on," Professor Chronos announced, "we shall commence the representative duel between the upperclassmen and the freshmen!"
He smiled at You Xuan.
"I'll leave it to you, You Xuan!"
"Duel!" x2
[You Xuan: 4000 LP]
[Reiko Ayegumo: 4000 LP]
"I'll start by attacking and drawing a card!" Reiko, the freshman representative, took the first turn.
"I summon 'Love's Maiden' in attack position!"
A beautiful girl, like a little princess, appeared in a lovely dress, accompanied by a pink background and sparkling bubbles.
【Love's Maiden, ATK 400】
Marutou Shoutarou's eyes lit up as he watched from the stands: "What a beautiful monster!"
"I set a card, and it's the end of my turn!" Reiko placed a card in her back row.
"My turn, I draw." Yuxuan declared.
Love's Maiden, a deck perfectly suited for a love-obsessed character. This deck is an anime original and doesn't exist in the physical card game. However, it's included in the single-player Card Power series and the mobile game Duel Links, as it's a deck exclusive to the digital realm, and many players enjoyed experimenting with it in Duel Links back then.
"I summon 'Black Magic Artisan'."
Yuxuan played a card from his hand. A black-armored magician stepped out of a magic circle, appearing on his field, adorned with golden patterns on its pitch-black armor, looking majestic.
【Black Magic Artisan, ATK 12000】
In his first encounter with Love's Maiden, Jida, unaware of its effect, suffered a setback. As the saying goes, even heroes falter in the face of beauty. Jida's heroes, upon seeing the pretty girl, suddenly became unsteady on their feet, one by one seduced into defecting to the opposing camp, leaving Jida dumbfounded.
Although it's an anime-original card, Yuxuan had a vague idea of its effect. It seemed that attacking recklessly could easily result in his monsters being stolen.
However,
Yuxuan's lips curled up slightly.
Well, after all, she's a newcomer and a little loli. Let's give her a chance to show her stuff.
He waved his hand casually.
"Black Magic Artisan, attack 'Love's Maiden'."

A surge of magical power pierced through the beautiful girl, causing Reiko to take two steps back.
"Ouch!"
【Reiko, LP 4000 → LP 3200】
Love's Maiden knelt on the ground, pitifully opening her innocent, large eyes: "Ouch, that's so mean."
The black-armored magician suddenly became flustered, as if he had committed an unforgivable act, unable to meet her gaze. Despite being masked, a faint blush appeared on his covered face.
"Girls become stronger through love, Yuxuan-sama." Reiko smiled, "The effect of Love's Maiden. This card in attack position cannot be destroyed in battle, and when attacked, a Maiden Token must be placed on the attacking monster!"
【Black Magic Artisan, Maiden Token 0 → 1】
"Indeed, it's an interesting effect." Yuxuan smiled, "Then, I activate the Continuous Spell 'Magic Tribe Barrier'."
A magic card appeared in Yuxuan's back row.
"Magic Tribe Barrier, each time a Spellcaster-Type monster on the field is destroyed, place a Mana Token."
Yuxuan explained.
"Then, I activate the effect of 'Black Magic Artisan'. Once per turn, it can change its battle position from Attack to Defense, and place a Mana Token on a card on the field that can place tokens.
I place a Mana Token on 'Magic Tribe Barrier'."
【Black Magic Artisan, DEF 1800】
【Magic Tribe Barrier, Mana Token 1】
"I activate the Spell Card 'Mana Guide' to add another Mana Token to a card on the field that can place Mana Tokens, and add another 'Mana Guide' from my deck to my hand."
Yuxuan announced.
"Add another token to the barrier."
【Magic Tribe Barrier, Mana Token 2】
"End of my turn."
