Chapter 898: The Teacher's Role
Chapter 898: The Teacher's Role
Napoleon activated a Set card, and a heavy, pitch-black toy cannon appeared on the field.
A toy soldier ran forward with small, quick steps and lit the fuse. The sparks traveled along the fuse until they reached the end, and with a muffled 'boom', the cannon fired, blasting a shell that struck the giant Winner Bug in its abdomen.
The Victory Winner Bug staggered back, not defeated but forced to kneel and switch from offense to defense.
[Victory Winner Bug, ATK 12500 → DEF 2500]
Napoleon: "And the Toy Cannon also deals 400 damage to its controller!"
[Yuuugen, LP 4000 → LP 3600]
The students watching from the sidelines were surprised: "Napoleon Coach is actually covering for Kouronosu?"
The entire academy knew that these two were like fire and water, and seeing them cover for each other was indeed a bit hard to get used to.
Kouronosu himself seemed to think the same.
"You, Napoleon Coach," Kouronosu was touched, "You actually covered for me."
Napoleon gave him a sidelong glance and then stood with his hands on his hips, looking arrogant.
"Don't get the wrong idea. I don't intend to resolve any conflicts with you, Kurunosu."
His expression turned solemn as he spoke.
"This duel holds great significance, determining our future. And our opponent this time is no ordinary foe. Neither of us stands a chance alone."
Kouronosu bit his handkerchief, then nodded after a while.
"Yes, you're right, Napoleon."
To win this duel, they had to do something they had never even considered in the past.
Unite as one!
Marudome Shou: "Seeing these two cooperate feels a bit strange."
"Indeed," Ban Shoume nodded.
Tou Dou nodded: "I think this might be exactly what Yuuugen intended."
"Huh?" Marudome Shou was taken aback.
Mitsuza, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, spoke up: "People naturally resolve conflicts and stand together only when their interests align and they face a common external threat."
"Oh, I see."
Marudome Shou understood.
"So Yuuugen wanted to make the two professors reconcile?"
The students' eyes turned to Yuuugen with even more admiration.
Not only did he possess unfathomable strength, but he also considered things to this extent for others. Was this the demeanor of a king?
"It's not over yet," Napoleon continued, "I activate another Set card, the continuous trap 'Gulliver's Chains'!
This card can only be activated when a monster changes its battle position! As long as this card remains on the field, the monster that changed its battle position must remain in face-up Defense Position.
If that monster is changed to Attack Position, destroy both that monster and this card!" (Original Card)
A silver chain shot out from the trap card, binding the Victory Winner Bug on Yuuugen's field, which had just been forced into Defense Position. The chain tightly wrapped around the bug's massive body, immobilizing it completely.
"Excellent!" Kouronosu praised, "This completely blocks the attack of the 12,000 ATK Winner Bug!"
"Indeed."
Yuuugen nodded in approval.
"But my offense isn't over yet," Yuuugen said, "My Aganamamax and Zexer Winner Bugs haven't attacked yet."
He shifted his focus to Napoleon's field.
"Zexer Winner Bug, attack 'Toy Soldiers'!"
[Zexer Winner Bug, ATK 1800]
The Zexer Winner Bug flew out, pouncing on the toy soldiers like a starfish. The tiny soldiers struggled, but it was futile, and they were soon sucked dry by the starfish's mouthparts, exploding into fragments with a loud bang.
[Napoleon, LP 4000 → LP 3000]
"Aganamamax, attack the second 'Toy Soldier'."
[Aganamamax, ATK 1000]
The second Toy Soldier also exploded, and Napoleon Coach's small frame took two steps back from the impact.
[Napoleon, LP 3000 → LP 2800]
"Coach Napoleon!"
Kouronosu watched as Napoleon took the damage to protect him, his expression softening with emotion, and his eyes even reddened slightly.
"It's a minor issue."
Napoleon stood up, gritting his teeth.
"Well, we managed to hold them off this turn, but it still looks like a tough battle ahead."
Yuuugen crossed his arms and smiled.
"I'll Set two cards, and my turn is over."
When it became Kouronosu's turn, he didn't draw a card but instead stared at his Deck on the Duel Disk.
"Did we really win?"
Coach Napoleon also remained silent, not saying a word.
They both knew that even though they were students, their opponent's strength far surpassed theirs. It seemed that even with their two-on-one advantage, they hadn't managed to close the gap significantly.
But at that moment, Touya spoke up from the side, "Teachers, don't give up!"
"Don't give up until the very last moment! Isn't that what you've taught us in class? Even the legendary Mr. Yugi Muto had a Duel where he persevered in a desperate situation until the final moment and then turned the tables!"
Touya clenched his fist, encouraging them.
"Let's show them that there's no such thing as an impossible challenge in this world, teachers!"
"Touya-kun."
Kouronosu gently closed his eyes, wearing a wry smile.
"I can't believe I'm being lectured by a struggling student. But you're right."
He regained his spirit and lifted his head.
"If we give up here, wouldn't all the time we spent in this academy be in vain?"
Napoleon added, "It seems we have to get fired up after being encouraged by a struggling student."
"He's my student," Kouronosu said, his tone carrying a hint of pride.
Yuuugen smiled, "Oh, it seems the teachers still have some fight left in them."
"Of course!"
Napoleon faced Yuuugen with his chest puffed out.
"As men, sometimes we have to stand firm even when the odds are against us!"
"Exactly!"
Kouronosu's fighting spirit was rekindled.
"Even if it's just to show our students that we, as teachers, will give it our all in our final battle in this academy!"
Touya nodded, "That's the spirit, teachers!"
Marudome Shou spoke softly, "It's like the atmosphere is heating up, but this death-defying attitude makes Yuuugen-kun seem even more like a demon king."
"My turn, I draw!"
Professor Kouronosu drew a card.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Angel's Charity', draw three cards from my Deck, and then discard two cards from my hand."
Kouronosu discarded two cards from his hand and then played another card from his hand.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Foolish Burial', send a Monster Card from my Deck to the Graveyard!
I send this 'Ancient Gear Golem' from my Deck to the Graveyard!"
Marudome Shou: "He's sending his ace to the Graveyard?"
"Indeed!" Kouronosu exclaimed, "The one who will make his grand entrance next is my ultimate ace, the ultimate secret art of the Ancient Gears!"
