Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 - 164: Cyber Showdown

"Duel!" x2

[Alexis, LP 4000]

[Takahashi, LP 4000]

There was still time before the conference started, so experts from all around gathered to watch.

"Hey, isn't that the Cyber Angel?"

"That's Chief Takahashi—the top authority in the field. But her opponent looks like just a student. Does anyone know her?"

"I heard she's a Duel Academy freshman..."

"Huh? For real?"

"..."

Misawa, the golden commentator, stood next to Kira.

"Her opponent is the top expert, and she's even using the same type of deck. Do you think Rhodes will be okay?"

"Expert means great research, but not necessarily dueling skills. Besides, with our recent breakthroughs, we're not any worse than them, are we?" Kira smiled.

"Well, that's true..."

"Don't worry, just watch." Kira patted Misawa's shoulder, confident. "She'll be fine."

"..."

"Then, I'll let the young lady go first." Takahashi showed her sportsmanship, giving the first move.

Alexis nodded, not holding back: "Then it's my turn—draw!"

She quickly scanned her hand, recalling the new strategies after the Cyber Angel upgrades, and the deck build she'd revised under Kira's advice.

"First, the Spell Card 'Terraforming'!" Alexis declared. "Add a Field Spell from my deck to my hand.

I add 'Ritual Sanctuary' from my deck!"

Chief Takahashi nodded. This Field Spell was also developed by their association, granting access to key combo pieces.

"Then I activate the Field Spell!"

As Alexis slotted the card into her duel disk, the scene changed—a grand cathedral rose. Sunlight streamed through stained glass, roses floated down, and an ornate altar held a Bible and cross.

"Ritual Sanctuary lets me discard a Spell Card to add a Ritual Spell or LIGHT Ritual Monster from my deck to my hand."

Alexis discarded a card and searched her deck.

"I add 'Cyber Angel Benten' to hand! Then activate 'Preparation of Rites'! Add a Level 7 or lower Ritual Monster from my deck and recover a Ritual Spell from my grave."

"I add the Level 5 'Cyber Angel Natasha' to my hand, and retrieve the Ritual Spell 'Machine Angel Ritual' I just discarded!"

"Natasha?" Takahashi was shocked.

There's a Cyber Angel like that? How did I not know?

"Oh, we just finished this card yesterday, so it wasn't in the paper." Alexis showed the newly searched Ritual Monster. "Now's a great chance to show you—please give me your guidance, Chief."

"You...you made a new card just in these few days!?" Takahashi was stunned.

Even the watching experts were shocked, glancing at the Academy kids in disbelief.

A brand new card, unknown even to the Chief herself...

Are these really students?

"Interesting. Very interesting." Takahashi's anticipation only grew. "Let me see this new Cyber Angel power for myself."
