As the virtual field unfolded.
Yuki Judai unceremoniously claimed the first turn. He knew the kind of pressure he would face by taking the first turn against a Cyber Dragon deck. However, if he couldn't even deal with Cyber Dragons, how could he possibly talk about the upcoming professional league?
"First turn is mine, my turn!" Yuki Judai's gaze swiftly swept over his hand.
"I Normal Summon, in Attack Position, 'Elemental HERO Blazeman'!" A mass of flames unfurled on the field in front of Yuki Judai. The hero, clad in red armor and burning with fiery red flames, let out a low growl. The flames enveloping him instantly scattered, and he floated beside Yuki Judai.
[Elemental HERO Blazeman]
[Level: 4]
[ATK: 1200]
[DEF: 1800]
"I activate Blazeman's effect." Yuki Judai took his deck out of the Duel Disk and spread it out in front of him. "I send one 'Elemental HERO' monster, except 'Blazeman', from my Deck to the Graveyard. Until the end of this turn, 'Blazeman' becomes the same [Attribute] and [ATK/DEF] as the monster sent to the Graveyard!"
Marufuji Ryo's brow furrowed. Precisely sending a card to the Graveyard from the Deck...
"I send 'Elemental HERO Shadow Mist' to the Graveyard! Blazeman's Attribute becomes DARK! Its ATK becomes 1000, and its DEF becomes 1500!" Blazeman's body was instantly enveloped in dark light. The black light dispersed.
Blazeman's originally fiery red body was now covered in profound darkness. After sending Shadow Mist to the Graveyard, Yuki Judai immediately continued. "And because of 'Shadow Mist's' effect, when this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can add one 'HERO' monster, except 'Shadow Mist', from my Deck to my hand!"
Yuki Judai's gaze lingered slightly on each Fusion monster in his Deck. Then, he selected one card. "I add 'Evil HERO Dark Gaia' to my hand!"
Thump. As this card was added to his hand. The students below let out sounds of surprise.
"The card name also has 'E-HERO'? But it's 'EVIL-HERO', not 'Elemental-HERO'?"
"Evil HERO? What kind of HERO is this?"
"I always get an ominous feeling..."
"I'm so excited to see what this HERO's effect is." Amidst the low discussions. Asuka's eyes held a hint of disbelief. Evil HERO? This was a type of HERO that Yuki Judai had never used in the several months he had been at school...
Could it be that Yuki Judai was still hiding some unknown cards? She had thought that even if she couldn't reach his height, she could at least glimpse a corner of his strength. But the result... she hadn't even seen the tip of his iceberg...
"Eh~ Asuka, you know, Judai, this child, looks quite handsome too." Fubuki said with a cheerful smile, "How about Asuka..."
"..." Asuka glared at Fubuki, her eyes holding more than just simple danger. With one punch, Fubuki lay motionless on the ground, a round red lump on his head.
"Yuki Judai... how many more trump cards do you have that I can't even imagine..." Watching the duel on stage, a hint of dueling passion also ignited in Asuka's eyes.
In the teachers' section, a group of teachers were also discussing the duel. Everyone nodded repeatedly, quite satisfied with Yuki Judai's first turn.
"A very good combo. Using 'Blazeman's' effect to send 'Shadow Mist' to the Graveyard, and then chaining 'Shadow Mist's' effect to add a new card from the Deck."
"Yuki Judai is indeed a dueling genius."
"However, I don't understand. Although this replenishes his hand, what's the meaning of Blazeman becoming a DARK Attribute monster?"
"This..." Before the teachers could finish their discussion. Yuki Judai had already begun the next step.
"Kaiser, let me show you the [Dark HERO's] ultimate!" Yuki Judai activated his Spell/Trap Zone on his Duel Disk, placing a card there.
"Quick-Play Spell, 'Mask Change'!"
"!" The students below perked up. Mask Change! This was one of Yuki Judai's deck symbols! Masked HEROes with unique abilities! Were they coming!? A belt with the letter 'M' appeared around Blazeman's waist. Blazeman struck a pose. The darkness behind him began to twist endlessly.
"Henshin!" As the belt was pressed. New black armor began to cover Blazeman's body. A black Masked HERO descended before everyone, raising a cloud of dust. "Appear! 'Masked HERO Dark Law'!"
[Masked HERO Dark Law]
[Level: 6]
[ATK: 2400, DEF: 1800]
Rumble rumble rumble... The dust cleared. Dark Law's figure was revealed before everyone. It was... something Yuki Judai had never shown before. A brand new HERO!
"Let's be friends, Kaiser." Amidst everyone's exclamations. Yuki Judai smiled, setting three cards facedown. "One monster, three backrow. Turn end."
