Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

However, at this moment, Napoleon raised an eyebrow and pointed his gun at him.

"Third shot... Target Professor Chronos, fire!"

Professor Chronos: "...Huh???"

Upon hearing Napoleon's third instruction, Professor Chronos, who was momentarily stunned, stood frozen in place, completely bewildered.

While he was still in a daze, Toy Soldier No. 3 also pointed his gun at him and fired an attack with the same power as his comrades.

"...!!!"

Whether intentional or not, the blow struck Professor Chronos squarely in his lower abdomen, causing him to clutch his groin and collapse to his knees, unable to rise again...

(Professor Chronos LP: 4000→3600)

"Napoleon, you've got the wrong person!"

Professor Chronos, clutching his groin and struggling to his feet with a pained expression, turned his anger towards his teammate: "Aren't we teammates on the same side?"

"Hmph! Who cares about you!"

Upon hearing Professor Chronos's accusations, Instructor Napoleon dropped his pretense and responded with a cold laugh: "I will go to work at the International Fantasy Society as agreed. As for you, Professor Chronos, you'll obediently become my subordinate from now on!"

"Ugh... Unforgivable!"

Gritting his teeth in hatred, Professor Chronos's face revealed a look of clenched teeth.

The fragile alliance that existed before the duel had vanished without a trace, and what would follow was a true melee.

"Hehehe... Just as I expected, these two are at odds with each other~ In this situation, it's almost impossible for them to win!"

Seeing the two people opposite him erupt into an ugly argument, Pegasus, with his head down, immediately flashed a "planned" expression on his face.

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

Forcibly ending Napoleon's turn, Professor Chronos reached out and took the card that automatically popped out of the Duel Disk: "...I activate the effect of [Ancient Machine Demon], once per turn during my Main Phase, inflict 1000 damage to the opponent!"

Subconsciously, Professor Chronos pointed in Pegasus's direction.

However, after realizing what had happened, he quickly turned his gun around, his face contorted with rage, and pointed his finger at Napoleon: "You little dwarf, die! Take this!"

"……Varied?!"

Turning the cannon on its body around, the mechanical demon immediately fired an irresistible energy cannon at the location of Coach Napoleon.

As the sound of the explosion rang out, Napoleon's surprised exclamation was quickly swallowed up by the smoke.

(Napoleon's coach LP: 4000→3000)

"...What are you doing, Professor Chronos? If we don't join forces, we won't be able to find new jobs!"

Having taken a cannonball from the demon god, Napoleon emerged from the smoke, looking disheveled and ashen. He immediately uttered a rather hypocritical remark to Professor Chronos.

Hey, I can hit you, but you can't hit me, it's against the rules!

"Ha, you clearly started it, and now you have the nerve to ask me?"

Arms crossed, head held high, and upon hearing Napoleon's rebuke, Professor Kronos's head immediately contorted with a huge "hash": "Napoleon, what right do you have to criticize me!"

"Even if I were to find a new job, working under someone like you is absolutely out of the question! Don't even think about it! Here you go!"

"...Ugh, this is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!!!"

Speechless after Professor Chronos's words, Napoleon, feeling resentful, could only clench his fists and furrow his brow.

Those who cheat others will always be cheated in return.

Since they've made the decision to betray their teammates, it's only natural that they should bear the consequences of that choice.

However, even after taking such a step, Napoleon showed no intention of repenting.

At this moment, what he was thinking about was not how to make amends, but how to get revenge for this resentment.

It's decided, next time I'll unleash a three-hit combo of direct attacks on that damned "Pot of Greed"!

"...They're both adults, yet they're arguing like children..."

Watching Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon make a fool of themselves online, Yusei couldn't help but shake his head, amused: "Could these two guys be any more embarrassing?"

Kenzan: "It seems those two... haven't evolved at all!"

Wan Zhangmu: "How ugly! They fell for someone's divisive scheme so easily."

Jaden Yuki: "This... it's not a triangular duel at all, it's completely turned into a duel for Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon to vent their emotions..."

"Solidarizing with the coach was a completely wrong decision!"

"That suits me perfectly! Now I don't need to have any reservations and can attack directly without restraint!"

"...Ughhhhh!!!"

"...Nunuu!!!"

The two, caught up in their argument, put aside their duel and stared at each other.

The two, each carrying their own emotions, exchanged glances in the air, their gazes subtly pulsating with a series of electric shocks.

"Oh no! The appointed time is getting closer and closer!"

With a smile at the farce he had orchestrated, Pegasus reached out and pulled a gold pocket watch from his pocket.

He glanced at the current time displayed above, then immediately pressed his hand to his head, adopting a hurried expression: "You two, if you don't continue your duel, I might have to change my mind!"

614 Sharp tongue but soft heart

"...If you two don't continue your duel, I might have to change my mind, you know?"

After glancing at the time displayed on the gold pocket watch, Pegasus immediately put it back into his pocket.

Seeing that the ugly argument between Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon was affecting the duel to some extent, Pegasus, having had enough of watching the show, spoke up casually and said something that neither of them could ignore.

Instead of playing cards, you two are arguing. Are you even planning to join the International Fantasy Club?

"Varied……?!"

"Nani?!"

After a slight pause upon hearing this, the two finally realized the most important thing at the moment.

After twitching their lips, they could only turn their heads away in a huff, no longer looking at each other.

"Hmph... I've hidden a card, end of turn~ Here you go!"

Professor Chronos placed a card face down in his back row and then waved to end the turn.

The Ancient Mechanical Demon on his field, despite its somewhat weak base stats, has an attack power of only 1000 points, despite being an 8-star Fusion Monster.

However, it possesses invincible all-resistance attributes and is not affected by the effects of other cards.

Furthermore, when [Ancient Gear Demon] is destroyed by battle, its Last Word effect will be triggered, allowing Professor Chronos to Special Summon an [Ancient Gear] monster from his Deck to the field, ignoring the Summoning conditions.

……

With Professor Chronos's turn over, it's Pegasus's turn next.

"My turn... Draw a card!"

Pegasus slowly drew a card from his deck, a knowing glint in his eyes: "...Just like I said, the appointed time is approaching, so let me finish this quickly here!"

"...Next, I'm going to take you two to my favorite cartoon world!"

"Cartoon...world?"

As Pegasus made this announcement, he simultaneously reached out and placed a card in the back row of the Duel Disk: "...Activate the Spell Card [Shadow Toon]! If you control [Toon World], you can target one face-up monster your opponent controls and inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's ATK."

"My chosen target is none other than the [Ancient Mechanical Demon God] (Attack Power: 1000)!"

As the magic card was activated, a comical-looking black ghost suddenly emerged from the castle generated by the Toon Kingdom behind Pegasus.

The ghost that appeared from the book scanned its surroundings and then locked onto the location of the [Ancient Mechanical Demon God], transforming into black mist and enveloping it within its own body.

The Ancient Mechanical Demon God has an attack power of 1000. With the activation of this magic card, Professor Chronos, who was fortunate enough to be chosen, also suffered effect damage equal to its attack power, which is 1000.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the black mist exploded in an instant, and the aftershocks of its power took away 1000 points of Professor Chronos's LP.

"...Mommy!!! Why me???"

Professor Chronos, covered in dust and dirt from the explosion, couldn't help but let out a grumbling shout.

(Professor Chronos LP: 3600→2600)

"Hehehe...Serves him right, Professor Chronos~~"

Not forgetting Napoleon, who had secretly chuckled while covering his mouth, a sense of smug satisfaction flashed through his mind.

"...Next, I will activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Toon Dragon] again. Once per turn, during my Main Phase, I can Special Summon one Toon Monster from my hand, other than [Red-Eyes Toon Dragon], ignoring its Summoning conditions!"

With a mysterious smile on his face, Pegasus placed a new card between the two: "Come on! [Cartoon Black Magician]!"

Cartoon Black Magician

(Mage/Dark/7-star/Attack: 2500/Defense: 2100)

Cartoon/Effect:

①: This card cannot attack during the turn it is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned.

②: If you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack directly.

③: Once per turn, you can discard 1 "Toon" card from your hand and activate 1 of the following effects.

●Special Summon 1 Toon monster from your Deck, except "Toon Dark Magician", ignoring its Summoning conditions.

● Add 1 "Toon" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.

As Pegasus finished speaking, one of the three monster cards he had previously shown, "Toon Dark Magician," appeared before him at the call of "Red-Eyes Toon Dragon," accompanied by an open toy book.

The chibi version of the master, holding a long, azure staff, may look less imposing than the original, but his strength remains undiminished.

"A...a black magician?!"
