[Turn 2 end, draw phase]
"Hmm..."
"Great, I drew a good card!" Yukiko smiled
"Really? Let me see?"
"Of course, here- wait, you and I are dueling each other? You think you can trick me?"
"Tch, I thought you were brain-dead"
Already the two girls were tricking each other, so scary
"Fine then, I use the spell card "Jar of Ambition"! Allows me to draw 2 more cards from the deck!" Lisa held out the card, immediately a jar appeared with an extremely... hard to describe face
Yes, this is the Pot of Greed version from Sage of Bacillus, except instead of green this jar is blinding gold like gold, and yeah, instead of being banned like Pot of Greed the Jar of Ambition costs a lot more money, only appearing in the hands of people so rich they can't spend it all
The game balance is pretty decent and doesn't break the meta, I guess?
"What?! I thought you didn't draw any good cards?!"
"The first step to becoming a professional duelist is the ability to deceive the opponent! You're still too young and inexperienced, miss commoner! Ohohohoho~" Lisa raised her hand to her face and laughed
"Grr!"
When the 2 cards entered Lisa's hand, a smirk appeared that was very noticeable
'Did she draw a strong card?' I looked suspiciously
Lisa's cards had a few things worth noting, among them the White Prince monster and a horse wearing lightning armor
Just having those 2 standing on the field would completely put the speed advantage under Lisa's control, and you know speed is always important in games like this
You could say Lisa's deck is very suitable for following the meta
And without making everyone wait long, she immediately summoned
"Come forth Thunder Steed!"
An orange horse with lightning-shaped armor appeared, radiating an extremely arrogant aura
Thunder Steed (lv 2)
Type: Electric
Atk: 500
Hp: 1000
Race: Animals
"It's over" a guy from Lisa's side snorted contemptuously
"What do you mean?" Alvin asked curiously
"For commoners like you, this is the first time you will see Lisa's 2 ace monsters on the field, so watch carefully"
"White Prince, mount Thunder Steed!"
White Prince jumped into the air then landed elegantly, the horse neighed once then shot lightning everywhere
Some lightning bolts struck Unstoppable Motorbike, while some hit the life core
Yukiko: 4000 lp > 3800 lp
Yukiko narrowed her eyes watching White Prince try to control Thunder Steed, until Thunder Steed calmed down and let White Prince sit on it
"Congratulations, prepare to lose already!"
Thunder Prince (lv 7)
Type: Normal/Electric
Atk: 2500
Hp: 3000
Race: Human/Animals
Originally its base Atk and Hp should have been 1500 and 2000, but thanks to Agile Squirrel the stats became this high
'Damage equal to Unstoppable Motorbike... I have to be careful'
There was only exactly 1 monster of hers on the field, and it was the type that acts on its own without her orders, so she needed other monsters to protect it
"Heh"
Lisa saw Yukiko chuckle making her confused
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing"
That was a thought reserved for those milk-smelling failures!
If you're going to play then play all the way, just like how gamblers have to go all in
"Summon Mechanical Scrap Man!"
A robot with a body pieced together somewhat roughly from iron scraps stood on the field
Mechanical Scrap Man (lv 1)
Type: Metal
Atk: 0
Hp: 300
Race: Mech
"That's?" The whole group looked confused, while I started turning pale
Damn it?! She's going all out like this?! Does she want to kill everyone here??
"Why did you summon that lv 1 monster? If it's to stall then it's pretty bad" Lisa, as usual, looked down on low-level monsters even though this was the dumbest decision in a duel
"Don't worry, I'll show you where the brightest fireworks of the day come from"
In yugioh, pokemon or whatever games, once a monster with low stats, low level, everything average is summoned in an extremely serious battle, it means that thing is a nuclear bomb
No one knows what it will do, but everyone has to fear it when it appears from somewhere in an environment that shouldn't be for it
There have been a few gods who did it, lv 1 Rattata with the infamous FEAR strategy or Pachirisu with a championship win using only one Sitrus berry
On the yugioh side there's that damn trolling dog named Ash Blossom, I swear if I meet anyone using that card I'll quit the duel and take out a gun to shoot the opponent dead
And yeah, Mechanical Scrap Man is that kind of god! It is an equip-type monster!
"Mechanical Scrap Man! Become an equip for Unstoppable Motorbike!"
The robot immediately jumped up then gradually transformed like Super Sentai mecha, then attached to Unstoppable Motorbike smoothly
Psss!!!
Strong smoke blew out everywhere, Unstoppable Motorbike was now bulkier, looked fiercer and sturdier
Atk and Hp unchanged, but Unstoppable Motorbike now had a new skill to use
THAT IS CANNON GUNS, VERY VERY MANY CANNON GUNS!!!!
[Turn 3!]
"BLAST THE ENTIRE FIELD TO PIECES! IF SHE'S SO CONFIDENT ABOUT SPEED THEN SEE HOW SHE RUNS!!" Yukiko roared, Unstoppable Motorbike also obeyed
A barrage of cannon guns all appeared, firing continuously without stopping
"What the fuck?! Where's the fair play?!" Lisa with a worsening face pointed at Yukiko
"I don't want to hear that from the person who used Jar of Ambition!"
"It's just one card! If you don't have money then why blame me?!"
"Hearing that makes my eyes itch! If you look down on the poor then I'll make you feel the taste of the poor!"
Thunder Prince had to continuously dodge to avoid damage from the cannon shells, while Agile Squirrel vanished without a trace of dust when it took up to 10 shells deliberately fired at where it was standing
Honestly, in terms of field clearing nothing is better than Mechanical Scrap Man, just equip it to a high-level monster (this is mandatory) then start firing cannon shells all over the map and it's handled
Each shell deals up to 300 damage, that's more than enough for field clearing, I doubt even if I become stronger than the protagonist later I'll still have to be wary of its game-breaking level
"...that's a lv 1 monster? Just equip and that's it?" Lucas and Alvin both stared blankly at the battle that was now a complete mess
"In the future you'll still see low-level monsters rampaging long and far my friend..." I covered my face, trying to hide the tears from the trauma every time I remember being beaten like a son getting whipped on the butt with a belt
"Kuhh... Don't mess with me!!!" Lisa got angry and started giving orders
Thunder Prince immediately shot out an electric energy beam straight at Unstoppable Motorbike
But after shooting, Yukiko's monster didn't die, didn't even lose a single drop of hp
No way?! That was an armor-piercing skill!
"Forgot to mention, Mechanical Scrap Man when equipped to another monster gives them invincible status for 3 times"
"How much more do you want to break the meta?"
But she said 3 times not 3 turns, so there's still hope-
"Unstoppable Motorbike! Ram straight into her life core right now!"
"I haven't finished my monologue yet!"
Right before Unstoppable Motorbike rammed in, Thunder Prince had already charged in front to block that attack by Parrying
And even when the parry succeeded Thunder Prince still had no time to rest when forced to dodge the cannon shells being fired continuously
Honestly, this was pretty crazy, remember this world hasn't developed modern guns, most are still in the flintlock era (and they have no intention of developing further) yet they already have missiles
"Full speed!"
Thunder Prince while dodging created afterimages from the excessive speed, continuously charging toward Unstoppable Motorbike
Of course since they were afterimages they caused no damage, however it made Yukiko's monster not know which was real and which was fake
Until the spear stabbed through Unstoppable Motorbike, making it lose another invincibility stack
"Hmph!"
"It worked!"
Both their faces were covered in sweat, surely this was the hardest battle for them (currently)
"I will end this battle right now!" Lisa said, starting to aim for Yukiko's life core
"If you dare!"
Thunder Prince began charging toward Yukiko's life core
Then the barrage of cannon guns retracted and took out a much larger different cannon and fired
That missile flew at a speed equal to Thunder Prince, even chasing after it
What the heck?! Is it a tracking missile??
Thunder Prince was about to swing the spear at the life core when that tracking missile exploded immediately, making Thunder Prince take damage right away
Hp: 3000 > 1500
Thunder Prince tried to stand up, but couldn't move, sweating continuously
Paralysis effect
Whoa, 1500 damage + paralysis effect for one tracking missile? What kind of game balance is this? Facing gods and using this thing even gods would have to think twice
"That monster is paralyzed, attack the life core immediately!" Yukiko ordered
Vrooom!!!
Unstoppable Motorbike immediately twisted the throttle and ran at full speed, kicking up dirt everywhere (I thought you don't listen to the master?)
Lucas even standing behind Alvin and me still got hit, even the most
"FESHYJLVKTCH!!" Dirt stuck in Lucas's mouth making him unable to say anything clearly
"Separate!"
Immediately, Thunder Steed and White Prince separated, both their hp had clearly decreased and the effect go off.
"Thunder Steed go block that monster! And White Prince continue attacking the life core!"
For some reason Unstoppable Motorbike no longer sprayed cannon shells so White Prince and Thunder Steed moved more easily, Thunder Steed immediately blocked in front of Unstoppable Motorbike
"Defend-"
Suddenly Unstoppable Motorbike blew a stream of black smoke into Thunder Steed's face then rammed really hard into it, making it unable to react in time
"NOO!! MY UMA!!" a blond guy holding a carrot on the noble side immediately cried and collapsed
3800 lp > 1800 lp
White Prince had landed one hit on Yukiko's life core, and was about to land another
This time Unstoppable Motorbike seemed too late, the rapier was about to touch the life core first
"SELF DESTRUCT!!" Yukiko shouted loudly, face like she dared to say it and do it
Oh no HOLY SHIT!
unstoppable Motorbike immediately glowed and exploded right away, both life cores were reached by the explosion and shattered completely
Smoke flew everywhere, both groups covered their faces to avoid the dust, I and Alvin just needed to push Lucas forward so he could take everything flying this way
Right when the smoke cleared, no monsters left on the field, only the two girls with faces covered in dirt and grime standing there
Lisa was stunned, touching the hair she had been stroking for hours before going to school which had now become a fashionable Afro
Yukiko looked no different from a super saiyan, hair pointing straight up
The reason why she used Self Destruct? All because she refused to accept losing to Lisa, anyone else was fine but losing to Lisa was no different from the greatest humiliation
Better to die than lose to the flashy girl in front of her
"Y-You... YOU!!!!!"
Lisa couldn't be angrier, completely ignoring her appearance and charged at Yukiko
"COME AT ME IF YOU'RE GOOD! THE BATTLE ISN'T OVER YET!!!"
Yukiko with a fierce face charged forward, raising her fists ready for a death match like a real yakuza
So the two girls charged at each other clawing, grabbing hair, punching, kicking, everything under the sun and sea that girls would do
"Oi oi oi!! Big sis!!"
"Lady Lisanna!!"
Both groups rushed out to stop them, but were sent flying far by the brawl of these two girls
"...let's leave right now, staying means sharing the same fate" I said, pulling Lucas and Alvin away
"Huh?! You're not going to stop them?!"
"Alvin, among all the laws in the world, not intervening when women fight is one of the unwritten rules that must be followed"
"Why didn't I know that?" Alvin scratched his head
"Means you still have a lot to learn, Lucas knows that pretty well, right?"
"Pfft, ptuh! ptoeh!" Lucas spat dirt out of his mouth, trying to wipe his mouth
"See?" I smiled
"..."
And while the two were fighting, Lisa accidentally broke Yukiko's hair tie, making Yukiko open her eyes wide and stop
"?" The whole group became confused seeing Yukiko standing still in place, while I dropped my jaw, extremely panicked
OH SHIT IT'S OVER!!!!
"Hic..."
Tears flowed down from Yukiko's eyes
Yukiko's underlings immediately went dark in the face, then dragged each other running as fast as possible
"Huh? Huh?? What is it??" The nobles and Lisa saw the situation become strange, not understanding what was happening
"Hic... OAAAAAA!! BIG BROTHER!!!!!!!!!"
Boom!
A red mana domain was activated, then turned off
Then the nobles saw something charging at them, a barrage of deep red thorns rose from the ground sending them flying
"WE'RE DEAD!! BIG SIS'S BROTHER, THE BIG BOSS IS HERE!!!"
A guy with hair unlike anyone, clothes unlike anyone, sunglasses unlike anyone, aura unlike anyone, walked over
He stuck out his tongue, both hands in his pants pockets, not wearing an inner shirt just a fur coat outside
"I just heard the crying of my beloved little sister" he stepped on the head of a noble, the guy looked blissful even though stepped on quite hard
He looked at his crying little sister, then at the people around her
"Who made my little sister cry? Be smart and speak up"
Then he stuck out his tongue, licked his hand (ew)
"Or is it all of you? If so then I'll cut out all your tongues and make skewers okay?"
Yukiko's older brother, Gomi had appeared
Did their parents have brain damage or something? Who names their child Gomi? (Gomi means Trash)
