Chapter 113 Interruption
With only two members of the North Duel Academy yet to take the stage, their coach, Asani, sees no hope of defeating the Orses Duel Academy.
Lack of intelligence and time.
Previously, there was almost no information about the Orses Duel Academy, which prevented them from formulating any decent plans.
Moreover, even if they obtained the intelligence, the short rest period was not enough for them to optimize their decks or find counter cards.
Imagine a college student who has wasted the entire semester preparing for tomorrow's final exam without the required course instructors providing any key points or question banks. Relying solely on one night of cramming and guessing questions, the chances of not failing are extremely slim.
Unless this college student is exceptionally gifted and can learn something at a glance or has a solid foundation, they can't rely on their high school knowledge to get by.
With this thought in mind, after applying for an extension of her rest time, Asani immediately arranged for people to rush to the card shop and spend a huge sum of money to buy the two magic cards she had seen earlier.
【No. 59 The Rebellious Chef】
The countdown to the end.
Since there's no time to modify the deck with counter cards, we'll just have to rely on powerful magic cards to get through this.
……
"I declare the round is over."
As it was Tiger's turn again, a second candle was lit next to Pike.
Their "toughness" tactic involves using an all-resistance chef that cannot be destroyed to withstand Tiger's relentless attacks, surviving 20 rounds to secure victory in the duel.
"My turn, draw a card."
Tiger clearly understood Pike's tactics and silently covered the card he had just drawn.
"I usually summon the Crimson Beast, and then declare the end of my turn."
Crimson Lotus Beast ATK? →1600
Entering Pike's turn, the third candle is lit.
"My turn, draw a card, I declare my turn over."
Now Pyke doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to wait 20 rounds.
"My turn, draw a card, I declare my turn over."
Unable to deal with the All-Resistant Chef in his hand, Tiger chose to do nothing and simply ended his turn.
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth…
The outcome of this duel seems obvious.
"Are we going to lose this match?"
Xing Ya nudged Xing Liang, who was standing calmly to the side.
"Brother, aren't you worried?"
If North Duel Academy wins this duel, they will definitely continue this tactic in subsequent duels. Even if they attack first and create resistance, North Duel Academy will try every means to fall into the trap before deploying their chef, and then slowly wait for the countdown to the end to begin.
"Worried? What am I worried about?"
Xing Liang gave her a strange look.
Why do you think Tiger will lose?
Upon hearing this, Xing Ya, who had been racking her brains to come up with a solution for the next trainees, immediately became unhappy.
Then let me ask you, then let me ask you.
But before she could finish speaking, Xing Liang killed the game with a single sentence.
"Is it really that hard to break through all resistances that can't be destroyed in battle? Or, if it can't be destroyed in battle, do you really have to keep focusing on attacking that monster?"
"...Hiss, right."
If you can't deal with the monsters, then deal with the card master directly.
Tiger moved when the twelfth candle was lit.
"I stacked the prosecutor and Wang Hu, and Xyz Summoned Rank 4, [No. 39 Hope the Emperor - Double]."
Hope Double ATK0
"Hope Doubling Effect: You can activate this effect by detaching 1 Xyz Material from this card. Add 1 Doubling Opportunity from your Deck to your hand."
"After that, one 'Hope the Emperor' Xyz Monster (excluding Hope Doubling) can be Xyz Summoned from your Extra Deck by overlaying it on this card on your field. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect have their ATK doubled and cannot attack directly."
"I Special Summon Rank 4 from the Extra Deck, [No. 39 Hope the Royal]!"
Hope ATK2500→5000
Pike was startled by Hope's 5000 attack power, but relaxed when he thought that the chef wouldn't be destroyed in battle.
Scare yourself~
"I activate the Normal Trap Card [Weapon Call], add 1 Equip Spell Card from my Deck to my hand, and then equip it to 1 monster on my field that can be equipped with that card."
"I added [Meteor Bow - Blazing Flame] from my deck to my hand, and then equipped it to the Crimson Beast on my field."
Tiger gave Parker a wicked smile.
"I already have all the key cards in my hand, so I can activate... [Pot of Greed and Avarice] without any worries!"
Swish, swish, swish! The top 10 cards of Tiger's deck were banished to the banished zone.
Including the cards discarded due to the previous card erasure and card extinction, and the Xyz Materials removed by the recently activated Weapon Call and Double Removal, there are a total of 6 cards that have entered the banished zone due to the Cosmic effect. Tiger now has a total of 16 cards in the banished zone.
"Just a friendly reminder."
Seeing that Pike didn't take it seriously, Tiger explained the effects of the Meteor Bow.
"The monster equipped with this card loses 1000 ATK, but the monster equipped with this card can attack directly against the opponent."
Red Lotus Warcraft ATK6400 → 5400
I'm waiting for the Greedy Pot to be used to increase the attack power of the Crimson Lotus Beast. What are you waiting for? To die?
"Entering combat phase, the Crimson Lotus Beast is launching a direct attack on you!"
It's far from 20 rounds yet, which means if Tiger finishes the fight now, he could lose if Tiger lands one more punch in the next round.
It seems we have no choice but to elaborate.
Despite the dire situation, Pike remained calm as he looked at his cards.
Just kidding. Even if his hand is terrible, he should have drawn enough cards after several rounds of repeated draws. Besides, Tiger no longer has the Inspector who can seal monster effects and the King Tiger who can destroy cards on his field, so he can play with peace of mind now.
However, just as the Crimson Beast drew back the Meteor Bow, aimed at Pyke, and was about to fire, Hope, who was standing nearby, made a move.
"Hope's effect: When a monster declares an attack, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. Negate that attack, and I detach 1 Xyz Material from Hope to negate the attack of Crimson Beast."
Hope held down the Crimson Lotus Beast, which had drawn its bow to its fullest extent.
Stop immediately, do not shoot.
Before Pike could even react to what was happening, Tiger revealed another card.
"Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Double Chance]: When a monster's attack is negated, you can target that monster to activate this effect. During this Battle Phase, that monster can attack once more, and during the Damage Step of that attack, that monster's ATK becomes double!"
"I'll target the Crimson Lotus Beast whose attack was nullified, and make it attack again!"
Enraged by the forced interruption of its spellcasting, the Crimson Lotus Beast broke free from Hope's grasp.
You won't let me shoot, but I'm going to shoot my fill anyway!
Meanwhile, Hope's Xyz Material is excluded by the Cosmic Effect, further increasing Crimson Monster's attack power.
Red Lotus Warcraft ATK5400→5800→
"what?"
This, isn't this right?
Before Parker's dazed eyes, a thick arrow flew past the chef and shot toward his face with overwhelming force.
"Ah~"
Parker LP6000 → 0
The duel is over.
The countdown to the end was thus interrupted.
"Orses Duel Academy wins the fifth match against North Duel Academy!"
(I'm thinking of accumulating a batch of drafts before posting, so that I can update continuously for a longer period of time, and I can also update twice a day from time to time.)
