Yu-Gi-Oh!: Worldwide Mix, the Ultimate Necromancer Duel

"Asuka!"

A clear shout came from not far away, and Junko and Momoe ran to the scene.

"Why are you here so early?" Junko asked, slightly out of breath, her curious gaze shifting between Yu Chen and Asuka, keenly sensing an unusual tension in the air.

Standing to the side, Momoe noticed Yuujin standing quietly on the other side—the boy was tall and straight, his eyes were too calm, and there was an atmosphere of imminent confrontation between him and Asuka.

"Huh? This setup..." Momoe blinked and whispered, "Could it be a duel?" Her tone was filled with the curiosity and excitement unique to young girls.

Asuka Tenjouin turned around, her flowing golden hair tracing elegant arcs in the morning light. She calmly said to Junko, "Perfect timing, Junko, lend him your spare Duel Disk."

"Huh?!" Junko's eyes widened in disbelief. "Seriously?! You don't even have a Duel Disk, and you want to challenge our Duel Academy's Duel Goddess?" She spread her hands dramatically. "Isn't that just... wishful thinking?"

She pursed her lips, looked at Asuka's calm yet unquestionable expression, and finally reluctantly took out a spare duel disk from her backpack and casually tossed it to Yu Chen.

"Here you go! Catch it! Honestly, what can you expect when Asuka's the one who spoke up..."

You Chen raised his hand and steadily caught the flying duel disk. It was light in his hand and ingeniously designed.

He skillfully slipped the Duel Disk onto his left arm, the "click" of the deck being inserted into the slot crisp and clean.

In the brief moment of waiting, his mind had already quickly previewed the random card deck that the system had rewarded him with—it turned out to be a complete Masked Hero deck.

In this era where duels are still in their early stages, this level of strength is considered super-powerful.

Masked Heroes focuses on rapid deployment and flexible transformation, capable of changing the course of battle in an instant. It is a typical fast-paced deck and has an overwhelming advantage against many early-stage decks that are still in the exploratory stage.

It's worth noting that in this world that blends multiple works, duels uniformly adopt the Master Rules, and Life Points are the standard 8000 LP. The rule framework is clear and straightforward, saving a lot of trouble.

"Well then," Yu Chen raised his head, his gaze meeting that of Tenjouin Asuka in mid-air. An invisible aura spread out from the two of them, as if even the morning breeze paused.

"The duel begins! Duel—!"

A silver coin was tossed high into the air, spinning and shimmering in the morning light, tracing a dazzling arc before finally falling to the ground.

Turn it up.

"I'll make the first move." Asuka Tenjouin's cool voice rang out, like an ice spring striking a stone.

She gracefully raised her slender fingers and drew from the five starting cards. Her clear blue eyes lit up slightly, and her delicate fingers had already pinched a magic card, holding it high above her shoulder.

The movements were as fluid as a dance, displaying the precision and composure characteristic of a top student from the Duel Academy.

"First, I activate the Spell Card from my hand—[Pot of Greed]!"

An ancient-looking, distorted, and greedy pot-shaped phantom materialized and appeared on her field, its spout emitting an alluring glow.

"Based on its effect, I draw two cards from my deck."

Her slender fingers traced the top of the deck with a light yet decisive motion. Two brand-new cards appeared instantly, replenishing her hand to six cards.

"Next, I activate the Spell Card—[Fusion Sage]!"

An elderly magician, carrying a heavy tome and wearing a pointed hat, appeared silently, the pages of the book moving without any wind.

"From my deck, I select one 'Fusion' Spell Card and add it to my hand." She calmly completed the search, and the deck was automatically shuffled with a pleasant swishing sound. "Then, activate the Spell Card I just added to my hand—"

She slammed the retrieved card into the duel disk, the sound suddenly becoming clear and bright:

"[Fusion]!"

A dazzling vortex of fusion erupted before her! Blue and white energy turbulence swirled and roared, emitting a heart-pounding fluctuation.

"I'm going to use [Cyber ​​Star] and [Blade Skate] from my hand as fusion materials!"

A dazzling, starlight-like stream of light and a heavy, earthy-yellow ray of light simultaneously plunged into the center of the vortex. The icy chill and the solid power of the earth intertwined, collided, and reconstructed within it!

"Fusion Summon!"

The vortex expanded to its limit and then exploded with a deafening roar! Countless ice crystals scattered like diamonds and stars, refracting a rainbow of colors in the morning light.

"Descend, Level Seven—"

"【Electronic Ice Skate Hands】!"

Amidst a clear, sharp shout, a female warrior with waist-length, light blue hair and a lithe, graceful figure like an icefield cheetah spun and leaped out from the center of the shattered vortex!

She stepped onto crystal-clear, curved ice blades, tracing a chilling path through the air. Holding a sharp, long ice blade in each hand, her eyes were as cold as the unmelting ice of the Arctic. She landed steadily on Asuka's field.

A chill spread out from her, and even the air temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

Electronic Ice Skate Hands

Earth Attribute/Seven Stars/Warrior Race/Fusion

Attack: 2100 / Defense: 800

"Wow! As expected of Asuka!" Junko couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, her hands instinctively clasped together, her eyes filled with starlight of admiration. "She summoned her ace right from the start! So cool!"

"Still the same as always," Momoe said, arms crossed, her tone tinged with a habitual感慨, but her eyes also revealed a deep recognition and pride in her friend's formidable strength. "Facing any opponent—even a random challenger encountered by chance—she gives it her all without holding back. That's the dignity of a duelist."

You Chen blinked as he looked at the imposing [Electronic Ice Blade Hand] on the opposite side of the field, who exuded a chilling aura.

Are you already excited?

It seems that the level of dueling in this era is indeed still in a rather classical stage.

Their deck tactics and strategies seem far from evolving to the dazzling, resource-managing level that they will later achieve.

"Two cards are placed in ambush." ​​Asuka Tenjouin placed her last two cards into the back row area with a clean and efficient movement, without any redundancy. "End my turn."

She raised her eyes, clear as an autumn lake, and calmly looked at You Chen, her gaze carrying the scrutiny and composed confidence unique to top students.

"now you."

For her, this opening—powerfully replenishing resources, accurately retrieving key components, smoothly summoning her main fusion monster, and setting up a complete defense—was flawless and impeccable. This was enough to overwhelm the vast majority of ordinary duelists.

"Alright!" You Chen's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, his voice clear and bright. "Then it's my turn!"

He swung his arm, his fingers tracing a clean arc across the top of the deck.

"Draw a card!"
