However, the Morning Light Duel Academy is not just a pretty face.

Because of their different teaching focuses, Kiyosumi High School and Morning Light Duel Academy don't have much interaction. Why would Kno accept Kiyosumi's request to be an insignificant special admissions examiner...?

"Wait, there's one!"

A figure that had almost been forgotten in a corner flashed through Izayoi Yuki's mind.

There is one reason, the only reason, that would make Kno willing to take time out of his busy schedule to come over.

"Oh dear, has the duel already begun? Heh heh, it seems I've arrived just in time."

The stadium doors opened, and a flippant male voice came from the other side.

Two followers with red and yellow hair followed behind, the one leading them being the boy who had been beaten up by You Xi just two days ago.

"Young Master Satomi, you've arrived."

"Sho Satomi, it really was you behind all this."

Two different reactions came from the two people, one fawning and the other annoyed.

Satomi Sho casually brushed his meticulously styled bangs aside and said, "Yuki-chan, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Everything in this duel assessment is proceeding according to procedure. I haven't done anything disruptive."

"But I really didn't expect this. After I got back that day, I did a little research and found out that You Xi isn't even a student at our school. This is getting interesting."

Satomi Sho's lips curled up as he looked at the boy being looked down upon by the "ancient mechanical giant" with ill intent, and he chuckled, "What if he loses this duel and fails the entrance exam? He won't be able to get back into school for a while. Oh dear, what will we do then? He won't be able to participate in the Star Cup as a member of Kiyosumi's Duel Club anymore."

"So that's where you were waiting for me," You Xi said, suddenly realizing.

During this time, Yu Xi and Xing Ye Wu were on guard against what kind of tricks Satomi Sho might play, but Satomi Sho did not come directly at Yu Xi, but instead took a slightly different approach.

...It has to be said that this turn was indeed a perfect shot, hitting Youxi's weak point.

"But are you so sure that this Mr. Kno has me cornered? What if I win in the end again?"

"Hahaha! You really know how to tell jokes!"

As if they had heard a really funny joke, Satomi Sho and his henchmen burst into laughter and vehemently denied the possibility that Yuki had mentioned.

"Impossible! Impossible! You couldn't possibly do something like that! Who do you think your opponent is? Kno, do you think you'd lose to such a third-rate nobody?"

"of course not."

Kno said calmly and without a doubt, "It is a bit surprising that you can successfully fuse and summon without feeling, but if it's just like that, Yuki can't possibly beat me."

"That's exactly it! Your little tricks from a few days ago won't work against Kno. You'll just struggle against the power of 'Ancient Machinery,' and then desperately beg for mercy on your knees!"

Satomi Sho prematurely pronounced the death sentence on Yuki, as if he could already imagine that scene, and was extremely excited.

"However, it's not enough for just me to enjoy your embarrassing moment, so let me add a little more spice to this test. Judging by the time, they should be here soon."

"Ok?"

Yuki and Izayoi Yuki didn't quite understand what Satomi Sho meant at first, but soon they heard a series of noisy footsteps.

"Is it possible..."

Just as a certain conjecture crossed their minds, several more students entered the gymnasium building.

They were curiously observing the situation inside the hall, their gazes mainly fixed on Yuki and Keno, who were engaged in a duel.

"Thank me, Yu Xi. I've prepared the 'best' stage for you!"

Chapter 42 The Entire School Watches

"Whoa, what's going on?"

"A duel? That looks interesting."

one by one.

After Satomi Sho entered, many more students wearing Kiyosumi school uniforms poured into the gymnasium.

They looked at Youxi and Kenuo with some surprise and astonishment at first, and then, guided by the teachers, they moved to the side to make room for the students behind them.

Before long, hundreds of students surrounded the two people in the practical assessment, becoming the witnesses to this duel, apart from the examiners.

"...What's going on?" This unexpected turn of events caught Izayoi Yuki completely off guard. "Why are so many people here?"

"I called them here."

"Director Shancheng?"

Standing obsequiously beside Satomi Sho, Yamashiro, in cahoots with him, snorted, "After all, this is a great teaching opportunity, isn't it?"

"Little Snow!"

A young girl emerged from the throng of noisy, laughing students, her short, golden hair shimmering as she quickly approached the white-haired girl.

"dance."

Hoshino Mai was temporarily leaving the team because she had to attend classes.

"Our teacher just said that the head of the teaching department notified the first and second grade students to come to the gymnasium for an observation and learning session, so we came here completely confused."

Hoshino Mai briefly explained the reason for the gathering to Izayoi Yuki, and then looked at Yuki, who was the focus of everyone's attention, with a somewhat worried gaze.

"Something seems off here. The person who dueled with You Xijun wasn't one of our school's teachers, was he?"

"Yes, those are people from Morning Light Duel Academy. Satomi Sho specifically called them over to prevent Izumi from enrolling."

"From Morning Light Academy? Could that be a bit ominous?"

If it were a dueling instructor at a school, Xingye Wu wouldn't be worried about whether Yu Xi could pass the practical assessment, but it's hard to say if it were Keno.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only trust Izumi."

It wasn't that Izayoi Yuki didn't want to protest.

But she knew that with the principal sidelined, this wasn't her place to shine. Her student status was too insignificant; the position of head of the dueling club alone wasn't enough to change the current situation.

Yamashiro and Satomi Sho were determined to make Yuki fail the exam. Once Yuki failed, they would have a hundred excuses to prevent him from passing.

She tried to contact the principal, but the signal was blocked.

There is only one way to break this deadlock.

"How about it? I've prepared a fantastic stage for you, Youxi!"

Satomi Sho ignored the whispers between Izayoi Yuki and Hoshino Mai.

In the past, he might have shamelessly approached and tried to get close to him, but at this moment, Satomi Sho only had one figure in his eyes.

He only wanted to see the black-haired boy defeated, his face filled with regret and despair, and he only wanted to satisfy his burning desire for revenge.

"If you win, you'll become famous throughout the whole school. But if you accidentally lose, you'll become famous in a different way."

Satomi Sho wanted to make this guy taste the humiliation he had experienced back then! He wanted to make sure this guy never had the face to stay in this school again!

"Then I really have to thank you for going to so much trouble."

Yu Xi noticed that Satomi Sho's two henchmen had already started recording video with their digital cameras, and many students were also recording it on their phones. The teachers who should have stopped them were suppressed by the dean of students and had to stand by and watch.

...It is estimated that before long, not only will the name You Xi be known to the entire school, but also to a wider range of teachers and students.

Whether it's good or bad depends entirely on Youxi's performance going forward.

"I'm sorry, You Xi."

At this moment, Keno spoke to Youxi, saying, "I have no personal grudge against you and I deeply sympathize with your situation. But I am, after all, begging for food in someone else's school, so I can't refuse this request."

"Ha, you really dare to say that. You were the one who offered to help me out. But whatever, as agreed, if you help me deal with that guy, I'll ask my dad to give you a permanent position."

Satomi Sho bluntly exposed Kno's facade of being a nice guy, but the latter nodded without changing his expression, saying "It's a deal," and then said to Yuuki, "That's right, let's continue the duel that was interrupted earlier, Yuuki-kun. At the moment after 'Ancient Mechanical Titan' is successfully Special Summoned, the effect of 'Gear City' activates."

"When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 'Ancient Gear' monster from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. Special Summon 'Ancient Gear Dragon'."

As Kno's voice fell, a mechanical dragon, much smaller than the "giant" but still as tall as a person, emerged from the steel ruins destroyed by the "shooting machine".

It looked like a distant relative of "scrap metal," with gears visible through gaps in the unprotected armor.

"Ancient Mechanical Wyvern, Level 4/Earth/Mechanical" "ATK: 1700/DEF: 1200"

"If 'Flying Dragon' is successfully Normal or Special Summoned, you can add 1 'Ancient Gear' card from your Deck to your hand. After this effect is activated, you cannot set any cards this turn."

The card added to my hand is "Ancient Machine Box". If this card is added to my hand from the Deck or Graveyard by means other than drawing, a Machine-Type EARTH monster with 500 ATK or DEF is added to my hand.

Then search for "Ancient Mechanical Entity" and summon it by attack.

"Ancient mechanical prototype, Level 4/Earth/Mechanical" "ATK: 1600/DEF: 500"

The card was drawn, and the "Ancient Gear" monster of the third entity was summoned. Judging from its appearance, it was a miniature version of the "Ancient Gear Giant".

It could be called a prototype.

"Once per turn, activate the effect of 'Base Body'. Discard 'Machine Box' from your hand, and add the Spell Card 'Ancient Gear Fusion' from your Deck that has 'Ancient Gear Giant' in its name: to your hand. Then activate 'Ancient Gear Fusion'."

Emerald green cards appeared in front of him, and following Yuxi, Kno's field also displayed the unique Fusion effect.

However, what he used was not an ordinary "fusion," but a special fusion summon with limited conditions, but whose power far exceeded his own.

"Because I use the 'Ancient Gear Giant' on the field as Fusion Material, the monsters in my deck can also be used as Fusion Material."

Send the other two "Ancient Gear Giants" in your deck, along with the "Giants" on the field, to unleash a devastating attack, shattering mountains and destroying everything in their path! Fusion Summon, "Ancient Gear Giant!!"

"Ancient Mechanical Colossus, Level 9/Earth/Mechanical/Fusion" "ATK: 3300/DEF: 3300"

"[Ancient Mechanics] Monsters x3"

Chapter 43 The Sharp Blade of Counterattack!

A deafening roar shook the earth, as if the ground itself were trembling.

The "Ancient Mechanical Giant," already as tall as a small building, became even more majestic and towering. It gained two more legs to support its body and two more pairs of upper arms.
