Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Oh? Isn't that a specially admitted student?"

"I clearly saw him being grabbed by the girls, so what happened?"

Could it be that Yusei actually managed to escape from those girls?

Who knew this kid was such an awesome guy?

To be able to escape unscathed from such a desperate situation...

As Professor Kunonos watched the small boat approaching in his direction, he couldn't help but start to think.

……

Youxing and the three girls rowed their small boats to the middle of the lake.

They then moored the small boat directly opposite the other party.

Yusei and Asuka, as members of the duel, stood in front of the two small boats respectively.

The two of them just stared at each other like that.

Behind Asuka, Yusei saw Junko and Momoe.

By this time, they had changed into Obelisk blue girls' uniforms.

After all, pajamas are a very private garment and not really suitable for wearing outside.

Noticing Yusei's gaze, the two girls waved and smiled in his direction, seemingly cheering him on.

In short, Yusei and his friends plan to start their duel right here tonight.

This lake separates the Osiris Red from the Obelisk Blue.

Here, you can duel without worrying about being discovered by the teacher or being noticed by others.

It couldn't be better.

(Professor Kunonos: Excuse me???)

084 Dealer, I wish you and your family good health!

"It seems like those guys are about to start a duel..."

"I don't know what's going on, but... it seems to be turning into something really interesting..." Professor Chronos floated on the lake, watching Yusei and Tenjouin Asuka face off, each holding their duel disks.

"Here we go!" Asuka leaned forward slightly and called out to Yusei.

"Okay, let's go!" Yusei nodded, indicating that the duel could begin at any time.

"duel!"

"duel!"

As the duel began, both duel disks opened simultaneously.

(Tenjouin Asuka's LP: 4000)

(Yusei's LP: 4000)

"My turn, draw a card!" Asuka took the initiative, drawing a card from her deck.

She looked at her hand; the five cards were an Equip Spell Card [Precious Armor], a Normal Spell Card [Fusion], a Quick-Play Spell Card [Fusion Deactivation], and two Monster Cards: [Blade Skate] and [Cyber ​​Star].

The card I just drew is the Normal Trap Card [Double Bass Dance], which can counterattack against the monster's attack.

However, this card has a slightly negative effect.

"..." Asuka stared at the trap card she had drawn, lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" Yusei asked, somewhat puzzled, seeing Asuka fall silent.

"Nothing... I was just thinking."

"I summon [Cyberstar] (Warrior/Earth/Level 4/Attack 1200/Defense 1600) from my hand in Attack Position".

Asuka shook her head to come back to her senses, and then affixed the monster cards from her hand to the Duel Disk.

Golden particle effects appeared on the field, and a woman with long, wavy brown hair, wearing a red and white leotard, appeared on the field, spinning her body.

Because the duel arena is currently on a lake, the monster is floating on the lake.

"Because you can't attack in the first round."

"So I've placed two cards in my hand, end of turn." Asuka placed two cards into the back row of the Duel Disk, smiled slightly at Yusei, and ended her turn.

"It's my turn next!"

"Draw a card!"

Yusei drew a card from the Duel Disk, and the card he drew was the Normal Spell Card "Hero's Arrival".

The effect is that if you have no face-up monsters on your field, you can choose to pay half of your Life Points to Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Elemental HERO monster from your Deck.

The moment Yusei drew this card, he already envisioned the scene of Touhou Man appearing.

【Hero Arrival】Pull 【Elemental HERO: Lady of the Mist】, 【Elemental HERO: Lady of the Mist】Activate effect to search for 【Mask Change】, 【Mask Change】Send a DARK HERO monster to Graveyard and Special Summon 【Mask HERO: Dark Claw】.

This is a memory etched into Yusei's DNA, a tactic so familiar that it can be used almost without thinking.

Yusei looked at his hand.

The five cards in his hand are the monster cards [Elemental HERO Wingman] and [Elemental HERO Burst Girl], the field spell [Fusion Gate], [Elemental HERO Flash], and [Hero Mark].

"...Holy crap!"

Looking at his hand, Yusei couldn't help but complain.

The deck only contained one copy of each type of monster, intended solely as fusion material, but suddenly three copies appeared in my hand. The only trap card was the [Hero Mark], whose purpose was unclear.

To pull this stunt at such a crucial time...

Dealer, I wish you and your family good health! (Sarcastic remark)

"Lord Yusei..." Junko and Momoe couldn't help but start to worry about Yusei.

"Looks like he didn't get the card he wanted." Asuka on the other side noticed Yusei's reaction and said instinctively.

"Hmm...I think there's still a chance to salvage this..."

Yusei quickly cheered up.

He inserted the newly drawn "Hero's Arrival" into the back row of his Duel Disk and activated its effect.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Hero's Arrival' from my hand!"

The giant card image of the hero's arrival was projected onto the lake by the Duel Disk, and the three girls on the opposite side, as well as Professor Chronos hiding to the side, all saw the effect of this card.

"Based on this card's effect, I can choose to pay half of my Life Points to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Elemental HERO monster from my Deck."

"What I'm summoning is... [Elemental Hero: Shadow Mist Lady] (Warrior/Dark/4-Star/ATK 1000/DEF 1500)!"

The Duel Disk in the left hand detected the activation of the card effect and automatically ejected half of the Shadow Mist Lady from the deck.

Yusei reached out and pulled out the card, then placed it in the front field of the Duel Disk.

A female hero monster with long, blue-black hair, dressed in black, form-fitting armor, appeared on the field.

(Yusei's LP: 4000 → 2000)

"A monster with an attack power of 1000?"

"With this level of skill, it's not enough to defeat the monster on Asuka's field." Junko, standing behind Asuka, couldn't help but speak up as she looked at the Shadow Mist Girl on Yusei's field.

"Well... let's not jump to conclusions."

“Lord Yusei must have his own reasons for doing this.” Seeing the confidence on Yusei’s face, Momoe, who was standing next to Junko, reminded Junko not to rush.

"..." Asuka stared at Yusei without saying a word.

In her previous duels, she had only seen Yusei's [Elemental HERO Grand Hero], [Elemental HERO Ocean Neos], and monsters from the [Summoning Beasts] series.

She was seeing the Shadow Mist Woman in front of her for the first time.

Unlike Jaden Yuki, who was defeated by Yusei twice.

Asuka Tenjouin, the model student of Obelisk Blue, has not yet been baptized by the Masked Hero Dark Claw.

"If I activate the monster effect of Lady of the Mist, and this card is Special Summoned, I can add one [Change] Quick-Play Spell Card from my Deck to my hand."

"My choice is definitely the quick-attack spell [Mask Change]."

Yusei added Masked Change to his hand from his deck.

"It's not over yet! I can attack this round."

"Then my presentation will continue."

"I activate the Field Spell Card [Fusion Gate] from my hand. While this card is on the field, neither player needs to use a [Fusion] Spell Card to perform a Fusion Summon. However, at that time, the monsters used as materials must be banished from the field."

A dedicated area for field spells popped up on the side of the Duel Disk, and Yusei placed the [Fusion Gate] from his hand into it.

Everyone present could feel that some kind of space enveloped the surrounding area.

Although the surrounding scenery cannot be seen to change.

But it's clear that the Field Spell Card has already been activated.

085 The tactics that were seen through

It's the same as the field spell "Skyscraper" that Jaden Yuki used before.

The effect of the card 【Gate of Fusion】can be used not only by Yusei, who activates this card, but also by Asuka, who is his opponent.

Asuka glanced around, then silently looked at the [Fusion] card in her hand.

It looks like this magic card won't be useful.

"Based on the effect of the Fusion Gate, I can perform a Fusion Summon by banishing monsters that serve as Fusion Materials from my hand or the field."

"..." Asuka glanced at her backstage area but remained silent.
