I'm in Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm also in Machine Ascension.

Meanwhile, seeing this scene, Youfeng smiled and nodded:

"Hmm... well, if it's [Cyber ​​Angel], then let me use my [Ritual] deck—[Dragon's Radiance]—to battle you!"

As he spoke, Youfeng immediately opened his card box. However, he took out a brand new deck from the bottom of the top [Cyber ​​Dragon Deck]. This deck, which was much thicker than [Cyber ​​Dragon] and other [Fusion/Xyz Decks], and put it directly into his Duel Disk to shuffle.

Then, on the shore, both sides immediately took out a coin and tossed it high into the air. At that moment, the four duelists present clenched their fists and declared their duel in unison:

"Duel!!!" x2

"Duel!!!" x2

Then, with the coin landing, the choice of going first or second fell into the hands of Junko and Tenjouin Asuka, and the two girls made the same choice almost at the same moment: to choose to go first.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Senior Youfeng!"

Amidst the still-excited Asuka Tenjouin's earnest declaration, Yuuka immediately nodded in agreement: "Yeah... I won't hold back either, let's go, Asuka!"

In that instant, both sides immediately drew five cards from their decks as their initial hand resources.

Asuka Tenjouin immediately entered her offensive phase:

"Well, it's my turn then!"

A mysterious magic card was randomly drawn, and the girl said seriously:

"Now it's time to show you my superb skills, senior..."

79. [Electronic Emergency Call] Long Huiqiao? Your electronic dragon will cry!

And soon, facing the waters surrounding the girls' dormitory, Asuka Tenjouin immediately played the magic card from her hand that best represented the style of her Ritual deck within the entire deck:

"Then, Senior Yufeng~ this next card will demonstrate the power of my entire deck!"

As she flashed a smile of absolute confidence, a magical aura immediately filled Asuka Tenjouin's arena:

"Then, I will directly activate a [Normal Spell] card from the deck—[Compassionate Mechanical Angel]!"

In an instant, a "Battle Angel" card with pale blue skin, depicting a woman sitting cross-legged, holding a dress and a trident, flashed and activated its effect. The girl immediately selected a corresponding card from her hand.

"Based on this card's effect: You can activate this effect by Tributing 1 [Cyber] Angel Ritual Monster from your hand/field. Draw 2 cards from your Deck, then select 1 card from your hand and return it to the bottom of your Deck. After this card is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters other than Ritual Monsters until the end of this turn."

"Therefore, I will directly release one of the [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] cards in my hand!"

Soon, along with a female monster card depicting her wearing a golden mask, with her long hair tied up and flying backwards, dressed in a black, red and white battle suit, and wielding a strange nunchaku weapon with one side of a fiery red folding fan, Asuka Tenjouin sent it directly to the graveyard.

Then, based on the card's effect, Tenjouin Asuka immediately drew two cards from her deck. After reorganizing her deck, she selected one more card and inserted it into the bottom of her main deck on the Duel Disk.

...

"Hmm, is this a deck dominated by feminine angels? And it also seems to have a certain religious influence..."

"But... a mechanical angel?"

Upon seeing the card that flashed across the field, Jaden Yuki, who had already decided to go first with Junko but had not yet engaged in battle, slightly shifted his gaze, pondering the information of the card before him. Then, he looked at Yuuka, who was currently battling Asuka, with some surprise.

"The style of this card name is so similar to the concept of [Mechanical Ascension] by Senior Youfeng..."

And just as the jellyfish-haired boy, Yuki Jaden, was speaking in a soft, eerie voice, Junko and Momoe beside him simultaneously switched into "gossip mode"...

"Hmm...I also said that using Mechanical Angel is such a stylish...emmm...and...an extraordinary deck..."

"The root cause lies in Senior Youfeng's concept of 'Mechanical Ascension'..."

"Hmm... I think... Asuka and Yuuka-senpai must have a lot to do with each other!"

Soon, amidst the two's constant chatter that seemed to thrive on chaos, Asuka Tenjouin's face flushed slightly, and she pouted with a hint of reproach:

"...Why are you two joining in this...it's just ridiculous..."

...

Meanwhile, as the two girls were teasing Tenjouin Asuka in unison, Junko's joking voice, "These two must have some kind of relationship," was heard.

Jaden Yuki immediately nodded in shock:

"Hmm...is that so?!"

"...Could it be that—Yuuka-senpai and Asuka-senpai are father and daughter?!"

"..."

Youfeng: ...

Asuka Tenjouin:...

Junko, Momoe: ...

...

"...Judai-kun, where did you learn this skill of offending everyone with just one sentence?"

Soon, amidst Asuka Tenjouin's clearly angry tone, the "jellyfish-headed" boy immediately realized his mistake and scratched his head.

In this awkward situation, Youfeng shrugged slightly.

"Well... Judai... aside from being a bit unreliable, he's actually pretty reliable... let's forgive him..."

Jaden Yuki: "Hmm! I mean... um?! Something seems off..."

...

After this brief interlude in the duel, everyone's attention slowly returned to Asuka, who had just played a card with a draw effect:

"Huh?! Is this a 2-for-1 trade? And it's not even a precise search..."

"Won't Asuka-senpai waste her cards by doing this?"

Soon after seeing this, with only 4 cards left after losing one, Jaden Yuki sighed and "complained" about Asuka's card disadvantage.

Upon hearing the voice of the boy with the "jellyfish head," Youfeng smiled and shook his head.

"...This operation...should directly activate the [Benten-] in the graveyard, right..."

"but--"

"The Jaden who pulled off that ultimate five-for-one trade... I always feel a bit strange when you say he's wasting cards..."

...

At the same time, along with Yuuki's sarcastic remarks, Tenjouin Asuka glanced at him with slight surprise, then quickly nodded, pointing to the [Electronic Angel - Benten-] in the graveyard:

"Based on this card's effect: This effect can be activated if this card is Tributed. Add 1 Fairy/LIGHT monster from your Deck to your hand."

"Therefore, I can activate the effect directly from the graveyard and then draw another copy of [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] from the deck!"

Soon, with the girl's nimble movements, a Level 6 Ritual Monster, exactly the same as the one in the graveyard, was instantly searched and added to her hand.

Seeing the scene unfold as he had predicted, Youfeng nodded slightly.

"Hmm... as expected, it's about releasing [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] to find another [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-]. This opening move is just too classic..."

...

As Yuuki Kaze's soft voice of praise rang out, Yuuki Jaden nodded in understanding:

"Hmm... In that case, by adjusting resources, we won't lose any cards... In fact, if [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] can continue to activate its effect, Asuka-senpai could even gain another card..."

As Jaden Yuki pondered this, Asuka Tenjouin sorted out all the cards she held at that moment. After seemingly having gathered all the prerequisites in her hand, she immediately played her second [Spell Card] on the field.

A ritual spell depicting a priestess in a blue robe with flowing yellow hair beneath a fiery altar immediately appeared, engulfed in endless flames, in the open space on the shore that had been used as a duel arena.

"As the card activated this time, I immediately take one [Ritual Spell] card from my hand: [Ritual of the Machine Angel] - This card can Tribute monsters from your hand/field, and Ritual Summon 1 [Cyber ​​Angel] Ritual Monster from your hand until the total Level of the Ritual Summoned monster is equal to or greater than the Level of the monster!"

Looking at the girl in front of him, wearing the [Obelisk-Blue] dormitory blue uniform jacket, Youfeng nodded with a slight sigh:

"Hmm...are all you [Ritual] players able to start with [Ritual Magic]...? I suspect the cards weren't even shuffled..."

But in that instant, after a brief moment of吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining or criticizing), You Feng shrugged:

"However, compared to that man who glued three white dragons together, it's still somewhat reasonable..."

"..."

At that very moment, as she played this magic card that symbolized "Ritual Magic," a monster card was immediately thrown from the hand of the girl, Asuka Tenjouin, right in the center of the altar where a circle of faint blue magical flames was shimmering in the open space:

"Then, based on the material requirements of this [Ritual Spell], I choose to send the Level 6 [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] from my hand to the Graveyard to perform a Ritual Summon—"

"Then, I can summon a powerful 6-star Ritual Monster card!"

"Come forth—[Electronic Angel - Idaten]!"

Soon, as Tenjouin Asuka played a blue-glowing Cyber ​​Monster, exclusive to Ritual Summoning, as the third card of the turn, the red female angel warrior wielding nunchucks, chains, and folding fans, Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-, which she had just retrieved, was instantly sent to the Graveyard as a Tribute material.

Amidst the eerie blue flames of ritual magic emanating from this clearing by the water, a 6-star Light-attribute Angelic ritual monster, resembling a Valkyrie with an extremely sharp physique and draped in a red cloak, appears for the first time as the first monster to appear in this duel:

[Electronic Angel-Shengtutian-]

[Attribute: light]

[Race: Angel]

【Level: 6】

[Attack power: 1600]

[Defense: 2000]

...

Upon seeing this uniquely designed, somewhat Indian-style, 6-star Light-attribute Ritual Monster, even the jellyfish-headed boy, Jaden Yuki, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but let out a slightly surprised sound:

"Well..."

"This is the first time I've seen this... a duelist in the Duel Academy who uses non-Fusion cards!"

"However... Asuka-senpai... as the strongest female duelist in the entire Duel Academy, her strength cannot be ignored..."

"Although it's an ancient summoning method called [Ritual]..."

...

Meanwhile, Junko, who was also watching from beside Jaden Yuki, looked at Asuka Tenjouin's starting stance with confidence, and gave the boy beside her a rather "disdainful" glance:
