"My turn, draw a card!"
Chazz drew a card and then said in a deep voice.
"Watch closely, Yugen, this is the secret power I acquired at the Northern Academy!
Armed Dragon LV3, activate effect! During your Standby Phase, send this card on the field to the Graveyard, and you can Special Summon its evolved form from the Card Deck!
LV Upgrade! Evolve into a stronger form and return to my field—
—Armed Dragon LV5, summon!"
The small Armed Dragon vanished in the storm and quickly transformed into a new form covered in spikes, with fierce eyes looking over the opposing field.
[Armed Dragon LV5, Attack Power 2400]
"Go! Armed Dragon LV5!" Chazz shouted, "Attack 'Magic Canceller'!"
The Armed Dragon lunged forward, and its claws struck down. The claws left red wind blades as they tore the Magic Canceller apart.
[Yugen, LP 4000→LP 3400]
"I set a card face-down in my backrow.
Then during the end phase of the turn, the effect of Armed Dragon LV5 is activated too!"
Chazz raised his arm high.
"During the end phase when Armed Dragon LV5 destroys a monster in battle, send this card on the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 'Armed Dragon LV7' from the hand or Card Deck!"
The crowd was amazed again: "Another evolution?"
"Yes, the evolution of Armed Dragon doesn't stop!" Chazz shouted, "Evolve once more and bring the fruit of victory before me! LV Upgrade—
—Armed Dragon LV7, summon!!!"
A white tornado, the Armed Dragon grew and evolved again in the storm, towering over Yugen.
"Oh, this is Chazz's new monster!" Judai was excited watching, "Ah, what a shame, if I had won the representative match, I could be facing such a monster now..."
Principal Ichinose's smile grew brighter: "Haha, I really didn't misjudge him. Lightning managed to master our Academy's secret treasure card in such a short time.
I can almost see Tami waving at me now..."
Principal Jiaodao was green with anger: "Damn it, don't get cocky too soon..."
Chazz's two brothers also smiled with satisfaction.
"This guy Jun, if he's going to do it, he's not doing too bad." laughed Chazz Nagasaku.
Second brother Chazz Shoji snorted: "This guy, if he completely crushes them, it would give me a headache too."
"Hmm?" Nagasaku asked, puzzled at his brother.
Shoji laughed: "Because if he crushes the opponent too quickly, it would leave empty time slots on the TV schedule for broadcasting."
"True enough."
The two brothers exchanged a glance and then laughed heartily together.
"..."
"Impressive, Chazz, summoning LV7 in an instant." Yugen chuckled, "Really puts pressure on someone. Now my turn, draw a card.
Activate the Magic Card 'Pot of Greed', draw two more cards from the Card Deck."
Yugen continued drawing cards. After glancing at the cards he drew, he revealed a slightly mysterious smile.
For some reason, when Chazz saw that smile, he felt an uneasy chill, a premonition of impending danger...
"Since the opponent is Chazz, using this guy's power couldn't be more fitting."
As he spoke, a card was ejected from the Graveyard section of Yugen's Duel Disc.
"I'll banish the Trap Card sent to the Graveyard last turn by 'Name Deduction', 'Ojama Duo'." Yugen said, "Banish this card from the game to Special Summon two 'Ojama' monsters with different names from the Card Deck."
He drew two Cards that had been automatically retrieved from the Card Deck.
"Special Summon 'Ojama Yellow'! 'Ojama Green'!"
[Ojama Yellow, Defense Power 1000]
[Ojama Green, Defense Power 1000]
"What?" Chazz's eyelid twitched, "But these are just squirmy little pests..."
Next to him, the Ojama Yellow Elf jumped out in a semi-transparent ghost state: "Brother, brother! See, others know to use me in the competition! Why say I can't be on the field..."
"Shut up!"
Chazz angrily shoved the Ojama Yellow Elf back into the Card Deck, and then glared at Yugen's Ojama Yellow on the field.
"Are you trying to use such pests against me?"
"Perhaps 'pests' is not the right term." Yugen chuckled.
Of course, even though Chazz said that, he dared not underestimate even a bit in his heart. Although he still considered the Ojama cards to be loser cards, he knew that anything played from Yugen's hand always had something peculiar about it.
Do not be careless.
Yugen knew that this time, coming back from Northern Academy, Chazz would likely use the Armed Dragon, and he had also noticed that Chazz's deck was leaning towards Dragon Race. So Yugen had thought of using the freshly obtained Destruction Sword to test it out against Chazz.
However, in the end, he didn't adopt that strategy for now.
Indeed, facing Chazz, using Ojama is more fun.
"And I set a monster on the field, which is 'Ojama Black'."
[Ojama Black, Defense Power 1000]
"Activate the Magic Card 'Fusion' from hand!" Yugen said, "Fusing 'Ojama Yellow', 'Ojama Black', and 'Ojama Green' on the field.
The brothers' unity transforms into the strongest form of Ojama—
—Level six, Ojama King, summon!"
The triple fusion of yellow, black, and green burst into dazzling brilliance when combined. A large white head, a mischievous green cape, and red shorts, Ojama King posed with two small short hands making a "peace" sign, heavily landing on the field.
[Ojama King, Attack Power 0]
Ojama Yellow Elf jumped out again on Chazz's side: "Big brother, it's Ojama King! United we stand, I don't think you can beat it..."
"Shut up."
Ojama Yellow disappeared again.
Damn, it's so noisy, making it hard for him to think calmly.
Chazz tried hard to focus his attention on the duel.
Ojama King was in attack mode, but its attack power was just 0...
Yugen: "Activate the Field Spell 'Land of Chaos'!"
The field projection changed, with short cartoon-style buildings rising up, occupying the entire duel arena.
Ojama Yellow Elf reappeared, teary-eyed: "Land of Chaos! That's where I grew up! Big brother, look, there was a tree like that in front of my house when I was little! And that little hill! I especially loved sliding down that slope when I was young..."
"Ahhh, be quiet!"
Chazz was growing more and more irritable.
Whose side are you on?
He couldn't help but suddenly doubt if this Ojama Yellow Elf he'd come across on his journey was intentionally planted by Yugen as a double agent.
Otherwise, why must he endure pressure not only from the opponent but also from his own Elf during a duel?
Yugen: "The effect of Land of Chaos, so long as there is an 'Ojama' monster on the field, all monsters' original attack and defense powers are swapped."
[Ojama King, Attack Power 0 → Attack Power 3000]
[Armed Dragon LV7, Attack Power 2800 → Attack Power 1000]
Chazz's face turned a bit sour.
Armed Dragon's attack power was high, but its defense power was only 1000...
"Ojama King, attack the 'Armed Dragon LV7'!" Yugen ordered.
Ojama King shrieked, striking a comical muscle flex pose, then launched a strong right punch in a "Superman Punch" pose, smashing the Armed Dragon flat on the ground with a blow, exploding with a bang.
"Then activate the Trap Card 'Guardian Defense Wall'," Chazz said darkly, "Turn the battle damage to 0, then I draw a card from my deck."
A transparent barrier appeared, blocking the aftereffects of Ojama King's punch.
Though it blocked the damage, Chazz's face still looked unpleasant.
His invincible Armed Dragon was actually defeated by Ojama, a name synonymous with common loser cards...
Although he never underestimated any of Yugen's decks, he was aware that others—especially ordinary people with lower dueling skills—wouldn't think the same.
Chazz Group had invested hugely in this match, broadcasting it on TV for the whole nation to watch.
Many of them might not know Yugen, nor have high dueling skills or match-reading capabilities, but they could understand one thing—
—that Chazz Group's young master was crushed by the common loser Ojama deck.
His two brothers had pressured him before the match, saying he couldn't lose. If he loses, especially to a loser deck, his brothers might go crazy, right?
Chazz was feeling more and more pressured as he thought. Yet just as he was having a headache, that untimely Ojama Yellow Elf appeared again.
"Haha! See, big brother, it's the power of our united brothers that's stronger. Your Armed Dragon is nothing, really!"
Chazz: "......"
He had already started pondering.
Maybe... he should just tear up that damn Ojama Yellow card?
