Yu-Gi-Oh! Slum Duelist Chapter 69

[Eva: Duel Acknowledged]

[Duelist - Amano Rei]

[Duelist - Kikawayu]

[Duelist - Masa]

[Data Network Access. Duel Field Generated]

[Duel Content - Joint Duel]

[Restriction Conditions - Battle Royale]

Can't laugh. Can't laugh yet.

Better not expose this before Masa.

Wait 40 seconds before laughing.

[Proud duelists, let duel outcos serve as scales asuring souls!]

[DUEL—!]

According to joint duel battle royale rules, everyone's first turn couldn't conduct battle—only after second turn. Whoever went first could attack earliest.

First-turn advantage was even more massive than 1v1.

So turn order decision rights weren't randomly determined by Eva system.

Rather, all three selected one monster from Main Deck—using ATK to determine turn order.

Highest ATK monster went first, second next, lowest ATK went last.

But monsters selected from deck couldn't be used again this duel.

Amano vaguely rembered the ani using these rules.

Wanting first-turn rights required sacrificing high-ATK monsters from deck.

Could say the ga started before battle even began.

Masa, while selecting cards, didn't forget chatting with Kikawayu—clearly wanting to confirm Fusion and Xyz academies' historically established cooperative win-win relationship before battle.

"Kikawayu-san, leave first turn to . You handle finishing and overkill rewards."

Saying this, Masa selected from his deck what he believed would definitely secure first turn—a high-ATK monster.

Kikawayu and Amano also selected monsters from Main Decks.

All three displayed simultaneously.

Masa's selected monster: [Gagaga Magician Cannon Dragon], 2800 ATK.

Amano's selected monster: [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]—everyone knew its ATK.

Kikawayu's selected monster: [Raviel Lord of Phantasms], 4000 ATK.

So turn order was—

Kikawayu → Amano → Masa

Masa's expression instantly darkened.

Just claid he'd secure first turn, yet selecting his Main Deck's highest-ATK monster humiliatingly placed him last.

You two—sothing wrong here?

Masa had also heard about Amano's entrance exam duel. Blue-Eyes White Dragon should be his Main Deck's highest ATK—also his only monster qualifying as battle power.

Abandoning it like this, not using it in the duel?

This Kikawayu guy was even more ridiculous—normal people pulled out 4000 ATK monsters?

Both were incomprehensible monsters!

"Then, my turn—draw!"

Securing first turn, Kikawayu drew cards from his magnificently crimson Duel Disk.

Just one draw action—Fusion Academy's side erupted with screams. Mostly female screams.

"Kyaaaaa, Kikawayu-kun is so handso!"

"Kikawayu-kun, look this way!"

"Kikawayu, Kikawayu, marry !"

Spending too long with Kikawayu, Amano almost forgot this guy was a beautiful boy.

However feminine and cute his appearance, his actual gender was male with decent height—completely matching this era's beautiful boy aesthetics.

Especially now becoming Fusion Academy first-year's strongest representative.

So many buffs stacked together—hard not having popularity.

"I Set three cards. Turn end."

First-turn Kikawayu didn't even summon monsters.

Didn't matter—the next two couldn't battle anyway per rules, so Kikawayu's empty field had zero danger.

"My turn, draw!"

Switching to Amano starting his turn drawing cards.

Last second's Fusion Academy cheers abruptly stopped.

Synchro Academy's side... seed pretty quiet.

Where was his popularity?

"Committee mber, you're the best!"

"Committee mber, you're handso too!"

"We'll always support you!"

Fortunately his Duel Committee mber status let Class E classmates maintain so presence.

"Brother, do your best!"

How could there be such an especially cute voice, arriving from the spectator seats like an angel?

"I Set one card. Turn end."

"Amano Rei, you?" Masa's brows revealed confusion.

Kikawayu Set cards without summoning monsters because he went first in position one.

You also didn't summon monsters—aren't you too confident?

Not afraid Kikawayu will eliminate you next turn?

At least Masa couldn't be as reckless as Amano.

"My turn, draw."

After the previous two's lightning-speed Set-and-pass turns, Masa decided to properly showcase Xyz Summoning's superiority on this gorgeous central stage.

"I Normal Summon [Geargearman MK-II] in Attack Position!"

[Geargearman MK-II] [3★ EARTH]

[Machine/Effect] [ATK: 1000] [DEF: 500]

Golden chanical gear monster appeared making peace signs.

"By MK-II's summon effect, I Special Summon one [Geargearman] from my hand!"

[Geargearman] [3★ EARTH]

[Machine/Effect] [ATK: 500] [DEF: 1000]

Silver chanical gear monster appeared making hamr sign.

Seemingly two powerless monsters—but now two Level 3 monsters present.

Masa's arm swept horizontally, overlaying both Duel Disk cards together.

"I construct an Overlay Network using two Geargearn—Xyz Summon!"

Xyz Summon thod used sa-Level field monsters to overlay Extra Deck monsters of matching Rank.

"Rank 3—[Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction]!"

[Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction] [3★ WATER]

[Rock/Xyz/Effect] [ATK: 3000] [DEF: 3000]

[Level 3 monsters x2]

Black card fra with black stars. Xyz Monster overlaid using two Level 3 monsters already reached...

"(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ That's Blue-Eyes White Dragon level!"

From spectator seats, tily arrived an extrely cute, knowledgeable voice from an unidentified Amano Family little girl.

"Just two Level 3 monsters equal Blue-Eyes White Dragon! See? This is Xyz Summoning's infinite possibilities! This is the superior summoning thod!"

Compared to the previous two's Set-and-pass, Masa's Xyz Summon truly attracted attention on central stage.

But Amano still felt sothing wasn't right. This rock normally got summoned from opponent's field, right? Self-restriction preventing Special Summons while on field—basically self-amputation.

But considering first-year Axe King environnt, 3000 ATK/3000 DEF wasn't bad. Not everyone in Xyz Academy was Kaiba Chiha.

"I Set two more cards. Turn end!" Finishing his turn, Masa gave Kikawayu another aningful look.

His own field had 3000 DEF wall even blocking Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The other side—empty field. This situation—even not prioritizing targeting Synchro Academy, which side to attack first was obvious.

"My turn, draw. Then activating my three Set Continuous Trap cards."

Kikawayu's three previous-turn cheap Sets all flipped open.

[tal Sli]

[Call of the Haunted]

[Monster Box]

"Then activating Continuous Spell [Gate of the Seven Lights]. By activation effect, add [Uria Lord of Searing Flas] to hand!"

Flipping these three cheap Traps naturally aid at—

"Tributing three Continuous Traps as offerings, awaken divine flas from ancient tis—erupt! Uria Lord of Searing Flas!"

Essentially Kikawayu's signature monster now—like a crimson giant dragon, projected through Duel Disk, shaking the sky.

[Uria Lord of Searing Flas] [ATK: 0 → 3000]

"Next is [Uria Lord of Searing Flas]'s effect!"

[Once per turn: Target 1 Set Spell/Trap your opponent controls; destroy it. Cards and effects cannot be activated in response to this effect's activation.]

"Beautiful effect, Kikawayu-kun!" Masa couldn't help praising.

Currently empty-field Amano's only variable—that Set backrow card. Using Uria's effect destroying the Set card would easily deliver crushing blow to Synchro Academy.

[Sakuretsu Armor] destroyed

However, before Masa finished speaking, his own Set card got shattered by scorching fla waves into falling data debris.

Masa: "o_O???"
