Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Ugh! Dad, you always cheat like this when you're at a disadvantage!" Hayato complained as he watched his ace monster being destroyed in this way.

"Ahahahaha!"

"What the parents say and do is right!"

In front of Maeda Mozan, who was laughing loudly, the "Drunken Angel," who should have been destroyed by the "table-flipping" effect, returned to the field, swaying and hiccuping.

Unlike the giant koala, who turned into particles of light and disappeared after being knocked to the ground, he stood up as if nothing had happened, dusting himself off.

"Hey? Why?"

Seeing the unbelievable thing happening before his eyes, Hayato's face immediately showed a big question mark.

"You're still too naive, Hayato!"

With a smug expression, Maeda Mozan answered Hayato's question: "The effect of [Drunken Angel] is that it won't be disrupted by the 'Table Flip' effect!"

"Because of the effect of [Table Flip], my Continuous Spell Card [One Wine Jug] on the field is destroyed. In exchange, one of your cards on the field will also be destroyed!"

"In other words, the only one whose monster was destroyed was you!"

"Wha...what?"

Hayato stood there, stunned, listening to his father's story.

This is the difference between the strong and the weak. Maeda Mozan, with just one Continuous Magic Card, seized the initiative from Hayato.

With the monster destroyed, Hayato's field is now empty.

"What... Does this mean we have no advantage now?"

Holding a bottle in his right hand and swaying his body, the "Drunken Angel" delivered the finishing blow to the dazed Hayato.

"Next, I activate the effect of the Continuous Spell Card 'One Jug'. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, inflict 500 damage to your opponent."

174 Unleashed Wildness! The Koala's Counterattack!

Maeda Mozan placed the Spell Card "One Sake Jug" into the Graveyard of the Duel Disk, pointed towards Hayato's location, and said, "Hayato! Take this 500 points of damage!"

The sake bottle shattered in front of Hayato, and pink smoke began to rise around him.

"Ugh...the smell of alcohol is overwhelming..."

Once again enveloped by the strong smell of alcohol, Hayato couldn't help but pinch his nose, a pained expression appearing on his face.

(Hayato’s LP: 3300 → 2800)

"Heh heh! Prepare yourself, Hayato!"

"【Drunken Angel】(Attack Power 1800) Direct attack on Hayato! Red Wine Cannon!"

Facing Hayato, whose field was completely empty, Maeda Mozan gave the order to attack.

Upon receiving the instruction, the drunken angel raised the bottle in his hand towards Hayato.

Amidst the drunken angel's loud shouts, a large amount of red mist suddenly shot out from the bottle's mouth. The impactful red mist knocked Hayato directly to the ground.

(Hayato’s LP: 2800 → 1000)

"Hmph! You've learned your lesson, haven't you?"

Looking at his idiotic son who had been knocked to the ground by his own monster, Maeda Mozan struck a rather smug pose, "Set up a trap card, end your turn!"

After burying a card in his hand in the back row, Maeda Mazan ended his turn with a wave of his hand.

"It's not over yet! I haven't given up!"

Hayato got up from the ground with a defiant expression on his face.

If you choose to give up here, you will really have to face dropping out of school.

That kind of thing, absolutely not!!!

"Hayato..."

Seeing the resolute expression on Hayato's face, Marufuji Sho subconsciously murmured his name.

"Hmm... There are still 1000 health points left. From now on, this is the crucial moment for Hayato to win or lose..." Teacher Daitokuji said in a leisurely tone, stroking the Pharaoh lying on his lap.

"Hey, which side do you think will win?"

Tengu Yui gently tugged at Yusei's uniform and asked him a question.

"emmm..."

Upon hearing Ms. Yui's question, Yusei answered without hesitation: "Judging from the current situation, it's obvious that the winner will be Hayato's father."

After all, whether in terms of dueling experience or personal strength, Hayato is far inferior to his father.

Hayato, who doesn't even understand the effects of his own monsters, has no idea how he could possibly defeat his father, a professional duelist.

"If we can't deal with the Continuous Spell [Table Flip] this turn, then Hayato will face the same situation again next turn..."

As Yusei stroked his chin and analyzed the battle situation, he suddenly thought of something.

Maeda Mozan currently has 3100 LP, and on his field is only one Drunken Angel (ATK 1800) in Attack Position.

The destructive effect of "Table Flip" can only be activated during Maeda Mozan's turn. In other words, as long as Hayato summons a monster with an attack power of 4900 or higher during this turn, he can avoid the effect of "Table Flip" and directly destroy "Drunken Angel" by battle, thereby reducing Maeda Mozan's LP to 0 and winning the duel.

However, there is indeed a sliver of hope for victory hidden within Hayato's deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

With a resolute expression, Hayato drew a new card from his deck.

"This card is..."

Looking at the [Death Kangaroo] he drew from the deck, Hayato's mind immediately conjured up the face of Marufuji Sho.

Recalling what he had said to him last night, Hayato secretly made up his mind.

I don't want to drop out of Duel Academy!

Therefore, I must cross this high wall in front of me!

"I activate the Spell Card 'Monster Resurrection' from my hand!" Hayato inserted the Spell Card from his hand into the back row of the Duel Disk to activate it, and then said, "Based on the effect of this card, I can Special Summon a monster from my Graveyard to the field!"

After saying that, Hayato reached out and placed the card that popped out of the graveyard into the front field of the Duel Disk.

"Rise, [Giant Koala]!"

The enormous blue koala returned to the field, accompanied by a burst of light.

Looking around at the familiar scenery, it subconsciously scratched the back of its head with its paw, and a confused expression appeared on its honest face.

It seems that its memory is still stuck at the moment it was overturned from the dining table.

It died, but not completely.

Under the influence of [Monster Resurrection], it has now been resurrected.

"Next, I will activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand!"

Hayato, who Special Summoned the Giant Koala with 2700 Attack Power, did not rush into the battle phase but instead chose to deploy again.

"?!"

Watching Hayato's actions, Maeda Mozan's brows began to furrow slowly, and his expression gradually became serious.

"I'll merge the Giant Koala on the field with the Death Kangaroo in my hand!"

A green kangaroo wearing a purple vest and boxing gloves appeared next to the giant koala, swinging its fists, and was then sucked into the vortex created by the fusion.

"Fusion Summon! [Lord of OZ] (Beast/Earth/9-Star/Attack 4200/Defense 3700)!"

Accompanied by a dazzling light, a huge beast with a scar on its left eye and dressed as a boxer appeared on the field.

Although it is an ordinary bone monster with no effect, it has an attack power of up to 4200 points!

The fusion monster, Lord OZ, which combines the size of a giant koala and the appearance of a death kangaroo, raised its fist toward the ceiling.

His imposing posture made him seem like the king of the koalas...

"Hayato's deck actually contains such a powerful monster..."

Looking at the fusion monster that didn't exist in his memory, Maeda Mozan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Last night, Maeda Mozan overheard Yusei and the others talking and learned about Hayato's tactical arrangements.

After that, he secretly went up to the second floor to check on Hayato's condition.

"Ah……"

Thinking of the strong bond between his son and his friends, Maeda Mozan's lips slowly curled up, and his previous firm idea of ​​bringing his son home began to waver.

"Dad! Witness my determination!"

"I target the [Lord of Oz] on the field and activate the Spell Card [Wild Release] from my hand!"

Filled with determination, Hayato inserted the last card from his hand into the Duel Disk to activate his Duel.
