By now, the watching students were beginning to see through Kira's tactics.

The invincible Submarineroid could slap the opponent directly, and "Megaroid City" allowed it to swap its ATK and DEF at the moment of attack, turning what should have been 800 damage into 1800.

On top of that, Submarineroid could switch to defense after attacking, and its defense was a solid 1800 DEF—making it good both offensively and defensively.

As they realized this, many students had odd looks on their faces.

None of them thought this non-confrontational, monster-dodging strategy was especially strong, but it sure was... annoying.

Even though Yuichi had just been smacked painfully by the sub, everyone still felt he had the advantage on the field—including Yuichi himself.

"Tch, just cheap tricks," Yuichi scoffed. "But this is as far as your little stunts go.

My turn, draw!"

Yuichi had entered Duel Academy full of ambition. Ever since he'd learned to duel, everyone around him had treated him as a prodigy. He'd cruised through life until now. Sure, his written test was a bit weak, but he was confident that in actual duels he'd be second to none.

He set a small goal for himself: advance to Obelisk Blue Dorm in the first semester, and become freshman champion by the end of the year!

That meant beating even those elite transfer students who came straight into Obelisk Blue Dorm from middle school. If he couldn't even overcome a mere Ra Yellow's No.1, what was there to talk about?

So, in his mind, Kira was just a stepping stone, a small hurdle on his way to greater things.

Today, he would make a name for himself in Ra Yellow!

"I activate Quick-Play Spell—Mystical Space Typhoon! Destroy one Spell/Trap on the field.

I'll destroy your left set card!"

A black whirlwind whipped up, lifting one of Kira's set cards into the air and shattering it with lightning. It was a Trap Hole.

"Ha, so it was Trap Hole. Close one. If I'd recklessly summoned another monster with over 1000 ATK, I'd have been trapped."

Yuichi was quite pleased with himself for hitting the right card.

"Now I normal summon 'Ape Fighter'!"

[Ape Fighter, ATK 1900]

A Level 4 monster with 1900 ATK, and it gains 300 more ATK when it destroys a monster in battle—easy to surpass 2000. It was one of his favorite strong low-level beaters.

Kira remained expressionless: "Flip Trap—Trap Hole. When a monster with over 1000 ATK is summoned, destroy it."

A dark pit opened, and before Ape Fighter could even steady itself, it fell into the abyss and exploded into pieces.

Yuichi: "..."

Seriously, you had a second one!?

Fine.

Yuichi forced himself to accept it and continued: "Then I activate 'Monster Reborn' (anime effect) to revive a monster destroyed this turn."

The just-sent-to-the-grave monster card popped back out.

[Ape Fighter, ATK 1900]

[Swamp Mirrorer, ATK 1800]
