Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

With an outstretched arm, Edward pulled it from his deck and placed it on his Duel Disk: "Like [Satellite Shining Blue Jet], [Satellite Shining Blue Jet] can be Special Summoned once per turn when I control a Level 2 or Rank 2 monster. And if this card is successfully Special Summoned, I can add one [Satellite Shining] Spell/Trap Card from my Deck to my hand... I choose to search for [Satellite Shining Ignite]!"

With a hint of pleasure in her voice, Ed, who was pretending to be a good girl, stretched out her arm again and added the magic card she had retrieved to her hand.

Searching for "Satellite Shining Blue Jet" will find "Satellite Shining Jet", and "Satellite Shining Jet" can also be used to search for "Satellite Shining Starter".

So far, she has essentially used one card to influence three cards.

And this development shows no signs of ending...

"Then I activate the effect of the Quick-Play Spell Card - Satellite Shining Awakener, at the cost of losing the monster's ATK as Life Points, to Special Summon the Satellite Shining monster from my Deck."

"...Appear! [Satellite Shining - Red Sprite] (Defense: 1800)!"

-

【Satellite Shining·Red Elf】

(Thunder Clan/Fire/2-Star/Attack: 1200/Defense: 1800)

effect:

This card's Special Summon as ① can only be performed once per turn, and its Effect as ② can only be used once per turn.

①: If you control a Level 2 or Link 2 monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.

②：对方把怪兽的效果发动时，把这张卡以外的自己场上1只2星·2阶·连接2的怪兽解放才能发动。那个效果无效。把2阶或者连接2的怪兽解放发动的场合，可以再把那只怪兽破坏。

"This...this terrifying ability to search and recruit...Satellite Shining...what on earth is this thing!?"

Just moments ago, Wan Zhangmu had been quite critical of Edward's unserious attitude in the duel, but after getting a glimpse of the new system's capabilities—which he had never seen before—he couldn't help but let out an uncontrolled shout.

442 Are all the freshmen this year monsters?

As a price for activating the [Satellite Shining Activator] to perform a Special Summon, Edward lost the ATK value of [Satellite Shining: Red Sprite], which is equivalent to 1200 HP.

(Ed Phoenix LP: 8000→6800)

However, as she continued, two bolts of lightning, one purple and one red, struck down from the sky just as before, transforming into two humanoid monsters that appeared in front of her.

The commonality among the appearances of the satellite Shining monsters lies in their postmodern punk style.

The Spinner was wearing a gray hoodie, while red lightning bolts, resembling twin tails, sprouted from the sides of the red sprite's head.

"Next, I will stack the 2-star [Disruptor Yellow] with the 2-star [Satellite Shining - Blue Jet Spirit] to perform an Xyz Summon!"

Jaden Yuki: "Ultra...Xyz Summoning?"

This new student... can actually perform an Xyz Summon?

Realizing this, Jaden Yuki subconsciously took a half step back, and his previously composed expression changed slightly.

"Senior, feel the despair!"

As he spoke, Edward stretched out his arm and shouted the monster's name: "Descend! Tier 2—[Giant Jet Satellite Shining]!!!"

Blue lightning enveloped the two monsters, then they were sucked into the Xyz vortex that appeared on the field.

After that, the blue giant, carrying a great will and wreathed in surging gamma lightning, descended upon this land in the manner of a king.

【Giant Jet Satellite Shining】

(Thunder Clan/Dark/Tier 2/Attack: 1600/Defense: 1600/)

Xyz/Effect: 2 Level 2 Monsters

This card allows you to use your Link 2 monsters as Level 2 monsters as Xyz Material for a Summon.

The second effect of this card can only be used once per turn.

①: This card's original ATK becomes double when any of the following monsters are used as XYZ Material: Fusion, Synchro, XYZ, or Link Monsters.

②：自己主要阶段才能发动。自己场上1个XYZ素材取除，从卡组把1只2星怪兽特殊召唤。这个效果的发动后，直到回合结束时双方不是2星·2阶·连接2的怪兽不能特殊召唤。

“Attack power 1600… Edward, is this your ace monster?” Looking up at the giant jet-like monster that was almost as tall as the sky, Jaden Yuki couldn’t help but ask this question.

Well, it just feels like this monster's appearance and attack power don't match up.

In Jaden Yuki's opinion, this monster probably only needs to be summoned by one of the Four Heroes of the Bone, Elemental HERO Electro, to be destroyed together with it.

I was startled just now; I thought some kind of powerful monster was about to appear...

Sure enough, a freshman is a freshman; he's not very good at playing cards, and the monsters he summons aren't particularly powerful.

Hehehe... Well then, let me, your senior, teach you properly and let you experience the vastness of the world!

"No, my story isn't over yet."

Tap his Duel Disk and continue, “The effect of ‘Giant Jet Satellite Shining’ is activated. Remove one Xyz Material from this card and Special Summon a Level 2 monster from your Deck. Also, after this effect is activated, until the end of this turn, neither player can Summon Level 2, Rank 2, Link 2 monsters.”

This blockade not only targeted Edward himself, but also affected his rival, Jaden Yuki.

After the effect of [Giant Jet Satellite Shining] is activated, monsters not within the Summoning Restriction cannot be Special Summoned, and even if Jaden Yuki has the meteorite in his hand, he can no longer use it to correct Edward's final move.

"Based on the effect of [Giant Jet Satellite Shining], I Special Summon [Ghost Frog] (Aqua/WATER/Level 2/ATK: 1000/DEF: 500) from my deck."

A golden orb of light surrounding the giant was grasped in his hand. Then, light surged forth, and [Giant Jet Satellite Shining] pulled a yellow-brown frog from the void and threw it onto Edward's field.

After rolling twice on the ground, the ghost frog managed to land safely thanks to its supple body.

"At this moment, the effect of [Ghost Frog] activates! If this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, send 1 Level 2 or lower Aqua/WATER monster from your Deck and face-up monsters on the field to the Graveyard... I choose to send [Ghost Frog] (Aqua/WATER/Level 2/ATK: 100/DEF: 2000/) from my Deck to the Graveyard."

"Next..." After composing himself and making sure he hadn't missed anything, Edward continued, "Appear! Reveal the circuit of destiny!"

“召唤条件是——包含2星·2阶·连接2的怪兽在内的2只怪兽！我将阶级2的【巨大喷流卫星闪灵】与等级2的【卫星闪灵·喷流灵】设置箭头，来进行连接召唤！”

"...Show yourself! Connection 2—[Satellite Shining - Mischievous Sprite]!"

(PS: L·I·N·K is a prohibited word, so Chinese links will be used instead from now on.)

Red lightning surged like raging fire, and under its glow, the red Shining Beast, with two machine guns extending from its waist and two gliders unfurling from its back, revealed itself.

Her appearance gives the first impression of a crazy science PhD with a "life is a life of constant trouble" mentality.

【Satellite Shining - Mischievous Elf】

(Thunder Clan/Fire/Attack Power 1400/Connection 2/【↙】【↘】)

效果：2包含2星·2阶·连接2的怪兽在内的怪兽2只

The second effect of this card can only be used once per turn.

This card cannot be used as Link Material during the turn it is Link Summoned.

①: Monsters in the zones linked to this card cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects.

②：自己·对方的主要阶段，以自己墓地1只2星怪兽为对象才能发动。那只怪兽特殊召唤。对方场上有怪兽存在的场合，也能作为代替以1只2阶或者连接2的怪兽为对象。

-

"The effect of [Satellite Shining - Mischievous Sprite] is activated: Once per turn during the Main Phase of both players' turns, Special Summon 1 Level 2 monster from your Graveyard!"

"I resurrected [Soul Frog] in the graveyard, then I stacked a 2-star [Soul Frog] with a 2-star [Oni Frog] to perform an Xyz Summon! Appear—[Pancake Frog]!"

Using only one card as the starting point, Edward pulled out a large number of monsters from his deck in one go without consuming any extra cards in his hand!

After that, Edward used these resources to perform Connection and Xyz Summoning.

Under her manipulation, two white frogs, one large and one small, appeared on Edward's field, stacked one on top of the other like flat, round rice cakes.

Its憨厚 (honest and simple)... or rather, cute appearance is a kind of deceptive disguise that makes it impossible for people who see it for the first time to guess what kind of destructive power this monster actually contains.

-

【Frog Pancake】

(Aquatic/Water/Tier 2/Attack: 2200/Defense: 0)

Xyz/Effect: 2 Level 2 Aqua monsters

①: During your or your opponent's Standby Phase, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 "Frog" monster from your Deck.

②: Once per turn, when your opponent activates a monster's effect, Spell Card, or Trap Card, you can send 1 Aqua Monster from your hand or field to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it. After that, you can Set the destroyed card on your field.

③: If this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can target 1 WATER monster in your Graveyard; add that monster to your hand.

-

The Extra Zone's [Satellite Shining Mischievous Sprite], along with the Main Monster Zone's [Pancake Frog], [Satellite Shining Red Sprite], and [Giant Jet Satellite Shining], constitute the final battle that Edward orchestrated with a single card.

The full counter of [Frog Pancake] and the monster effects of [Satellite Shining Red Sprite] are nullified.

Judging from the current situation on the field, it already contains elements of both Kang and Kang.

"Okay, that concludes my strategy... I'll lay one card in, turn over, and now it's your turn, senpai~"

With a blink, Edward handed the initiative of the turn to Jaden Yuki.

Upon hearing this, Jaden Yuki eagerly drew a new card from his deck: "Oh! It's finally my turn! Then I won't hold back... My turn, draw!"

"At this moment, the effect of [Frog] activates, removing 1 Xyz Material from this card, and Special Summon [Magic Frog] (DEF: 2000) from the Deck in Defense Position!"

With its mouth wide open, the pancake frog inhaled a ball of light that surrounded it.

After that, it opened its empty maw again and spat out a purple frog wearing a graduation cap.

"...The Demon Frog? Another frog?"

Looking at this creature that appeared to be full of wisdom and intelligence, Jaden Yuki scratched his head in confusion.

First came all sorts of satellite-like cards, then various frogs, and even useless cards like Disruptor Yellow... Hmm, this new deck is really a mess...

"Hehe... When [Magic Frog] is on the field, the opponent cannot target other monsters for attack."

Pointing to the [Magic Frog] in front of him, which was constantly emitting an invisible taunt buff, Edward said with a smile, "Senior, in this way, you can no longer target the other monsters on my field. If you want to attack other monsters, you must first deal with the frog on my field!"

"It doesn't matter! As long as I defeat all the monsters, that's all that matters! I'll activate the spell card [Fusion], and..." Looking at his almost perfect hand, Jaden Yuki pulled out a Fusion card, intending to summon a powerful Fusion Hero.
