The final round?
When both sides have barely lost anything now?
Gin Ryuusei frowned, hardly believing it.
No way, his Monster won't be destroyed by battle or effects, can't be targeted, and has high enough ATK. How could it be defeated so easily?
"My turn, draw."
Serena looked at the card she drew, a slight change in her expression broke the ice, and her initially displeased mood due to "your destiny being pretty good" slowly began to improve.
"Hmm, see the Alchemy I've learned and inherited from my teacher—"
What?
"Activate Magic Card, Fusion Recycling Plant!"
Upon hearing the name of this card, Gin Ryuusei's eyes widened sharply.
Damn it!!!
This is Tenjo Hikari's commonly used fusion-support Field Spell Card; he knows it, of course!!
It's a Field Spell Card!
The stars began to scatter, and the fortress suspended in the sky slowly started flying towards the cosmos, seemingly returning to space!
Only one [Field Spell Card] can exist on each side. When a new Field Spell Card is activated, the previous one will be destroyed!
This is one of the easiest cards to solve one's own field!
Moreover…
Fusion Recycling Plant—
Serena watched as the scene around her transformed into a fusion processing plant, showing a radiant smile on her face.
Although she hasn't learned much Alchemy, Tenjo Hikari still gave her some extra Magic and Trap Cards, helping Serena adjust her Deck.
"With this, your B.E.S. can now be targeted and can be destroyed by effects."
"..."
Not only that, the ATK of both Monsters is also restored to their original state.
Now, even if she attacks Lunalight Cat Dancer, it won't cause much damage.
"It's not over yet, activate the effect of Fusion Recycling Plant. I discard Jabbing Panda from my Hand Card, add Polymerization from the Deck to my Hand Card."
Unlike using Fusion Recycling Plant for "sustainability," Tenjo Hikari did not place many fusion-related Magic and Trap Cards in his Deck. Serena's reason for using Fusion Recycling Plant was more to increase the "fusion" quantity in the Deck, making it convenient to obtain Polymerization sooner.
"Then, I activate Magic Card, Luna Light Perfume; this card can revive 1 Lunalight Monster in the Graveyard."
"I Special Summon the Lunalight Crimson Fox from the Graveyard."
The super-short-skirted crimson fox girl stretches lazily under the moonlight.
Lunalight Crimson Fox, LV 4, Dark Attribute, Beast Warrior-Type, Attack Power 1800.
"Finally—Magic Card, Polymerization!"
A gleam of excitement flashed across Serena's face.
This card was obtained after witnessing Tenjo Hikari and the Dark World Duel in the Skyscraper Dimension last time.
Although Serena encountered other Dark World Spirits during this period, unfortunately, those Spirits did not like the Martial God she previously met that Special Summons a large number of Monsters at once, so she couldn't maximize the card's power.
But this time is different.
The opponent happens to be a Deck mainly focused on "Battle Destroy Resistance" and "Continuous Support"!
That day, Tenjo Hikari's on-site guidance to her, she has never re-practiced it,
"Fusion the Lunalight Crimson Fox and Lunalight Cat Dancer on the field!"
The two Monsters reached out to each other in the air, lightly twirling in dance.
"The Fusion Conditions are Lunalight Cat Dancer and one Lunalight Monster!"
"Beautiful beasts dancing under the moonlight, form a vortex under Moon's Gravity, rebirth into a new force!"
She clenched her hands together, suddenly swinging them forward.
"Fusion Summon!"
"Appear."
"The graceful beast dancing in Lunalight Field.
Lunalight Panther Dancer!"
Clear and pristine, clear and pristine.
Accompanied by the sound of bells, a Wild Black-skinned Maiden with covered eyes landed gracefully in the moonlight.
"Hehehe~"
Lunalight Panther Dancer, LV 8, Dark Attribute, Beast Warrior-Type, Attack Power 2800.
"Attack Power 2800…" still within the acceptable range.
"Lunalight Crimson Fox's effect in the Graveyard! When this card is sent to the Graveyard by effect, it activates by targeting 1 face-up Monster on the opponent's field. That Monster's Attack Power becomes 0 until the end of the turn!"
Upon hearing this effect, Gin Ryuusei's eyes widened instantly.
Dam—
It's "Clear Screen Bomb"!
"The one I choose is B.E.S. Big Core MK-3!"
The delicate crimson fox girl appeared over the battleship, at this moment she was like a master spy, stealing the defense system of the battleship.
B.E.S. Big Core MK-3, ATK: 2700→0.
If the attack goes through, he would only have 200 Life Points left!
"Not only that—Lunalight Panther Dancer inherits Lunalight Cat Dancer's effects and further enhances them!
Once per turn, it can activate during the Main Phase; your Monsters on the field won't be destroyed by battle once this turn, and it can attack all your Monsters twice!"
Gin Ryuusei's mouth fell open.
No need to release Monsters as activation conditions now!
This is a loss—
He actually lost, lost to someone younger in the same grade!?
"Battle, Lunalight Panther Dancer attacks MK-3!"
Boom—
Lunalight Panther Dancer casually claws at the battleship's core, tearing apart its body at will.
Gin Ryuusei, LP: 3000→200.
"Once more!"
Panther Maiden ripped apart the battleship, which crashed and buried Gin Ryuusei beneath.
"Heiss—"
"Huh?"
"She actually defeated our Blue's first-year Chief?"
"I, always thought, this guy became the freshman representative purely due to background..."
Finally, some onlooking students spoke up.
Due to her background and age, Serena had never been recognized by her peers, especially since the Fusion Army incident, she was completely looked down upon by the same grade. Today's short duel completely showed them a fact.
Serena, the "freshman representative," is well-deserved!
Serena secretly clenched her fist.
She seemingly managed to achieve it, managed to gain recognition from others like her teacher.
But it's not enough!
She should keep striving.
Afterward, she turned her gaze to Gin Ryuusei.
Though it was an excuse, she genuinely wanted to know a bit about where her father was.
She didn't expect.
After the duel ended, Gin Ryuusei lay on the ground clutching his head, mumbling hazily: "Where am I?"
...
She pursed her lips, lightly biting her lower lip, then turned around and left, pursuing Tenjo Hikari's departing path.
Meanwhile...
Inside the Light Society.
"Wh-where am I?"
A voice sounded in Tenjo Hikari's ears, drawing his attention to notice the Rose Princess lying by the wall, seemingly recalling something while clutching her forehead, visibly in pain.
Elsewhere, Ed, looking somewhat fatigued with a considerable amount of bloodstains on his clothes, greeted him. It appeared he had decisively defeated all the guards.
"Heh, looks like you came with the same intention, Chief." Ed barely put on a smile.
"Ed, you... Is it okay like this? Why not take a break?" Tenjo Hikari pointed at a nearby chair.
"No... [time] is tight." He coughed twice and said.
Time?
Tenjo Hikari lightly nodded.
It seems his speculation wasn't wrong; Saiou indeed needed time and people to accomplish something.
Just as the two prepared to move forward, an obstructing voice intervenes.
"Please wait a moment."
A girl wearing a Witch's Robe gently descended the stairs.
Saiou's sister!
Saiou Mizuchi!
