Chapter 1171: Addicted to getting beaten?

Manjoume: "I'll go first, draw!"

"Activate the Spell Card 'Polymerization', fusing 'Ojama Yellow', 'Ojama Black', and 'Ojama Green' from my hand! Fusion Summon! Appear, my trash—"

"—Ojama King!"

There was a saying: with a tailwind XYZ, with a headwind Armed Dragon, in a desperate situation Ojama King; this time Manjoume didn't talk much and didn't even bother with the cutscene, coming straight out with the trash trio Ojama King to hold the field, showing how serious he was.

【Ojama King, DEF 3000】

Yuma: "Whoa, a monster with 3000 DEF right off the bat!"

Manjoume chuckled: "That's not the point. Ojama King's effect: this card can choose three of the opponent's monster zones to seal, turning them into unusable states."

"I'll seal three of your monster zones!"

Ojama King waved his hand, and three monster zones on Yuma's field were directly sealed, with yellow, green, and black Ojama trash jumping out to occupy the monster slots.

Yuma blinked twice: "Three monster slots, so this way I only have two slots left..."

He quickly calculated, this probably meant that monsters requiring more than three materials couldn't be Xyz Summoned...

"Next, activate the Continuous Spell Card 'Ground Collapse'!" Manjoume said, "This card can choose two monster zones on the field to seal; as long as this card exists on the field, those two monster zones cannot be used."

So two more plots of land on Yuma's field collapsed with a rumble, leaving two huge "X"s indicating they couldn't be used.

"Huh? Sealing two more monster zones?"

Yuma blinked twice more.

"Wait..."

He looked at the three ugly-cute Ojamas on the field, then looked at the other two big "X"s, and his slightly long reflection arc finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Na-na-na-na-nani!?" Yuma was shocked, "Doesn't this mean I can't summon monsters!"

Astral floated behind him and said leisurely: "You've discovered it, Yuma."

Yuma grabbed his head: "Ahhh, how can this be? My turn hasn't even started yet, and I can't summon monsters directly... Speaking of which, doesn't not being able to summon monsters mean I can't duel!?"

Astral said slowly: "Actually, it's not like there's no way..."

"Wait." Yuma interrupted, "This is my own duel."

Astral nodded to show understanding: "Fine."

Usually, in life-or-death card games betting on Numbers, they were one body, and if they couldn't beat the opponent, they could fuse. But now, there was naturally no need for that in such a practice match. So Yuma directly chose to turn off the external brain server and rely entirely on his own feelings.

However, it was well known that the early Yuma couldn't even beat his own classmates without Astral, so the result was naturally...

【Yuma, LP 0】

"Ahhh, I lost!"

Yuma sat on the ground and clutched his head.

"Not even being able to summon a monster is too cunning!"

Yes, without any waves, Yuma, whose five slots were completely sealed, couldn't summon a single monster throughout the entire duel and just died so plainly.

Manjoume put away his duel disk and frowned slightly.

He originally felt a hint of a familiar scent from this boy, feeling that he might be the same kind as his rival Judai, which was why he was the first to make a move. A duelist's instinct told him that this lobster head wasn't simple.

But now it seemed he felt he had sensed wrong.

"Damn, what a pity... but it's okay, again!"

Yuma immediately shook off the frustration of defeat and jumped up again: "Is there anyone else who wants to duel?" Everyone felt a bit surprised.

Generally, being beaten like this in a game where you couldn't even summon a monster, you should probably be autistic. Not to mention excessive, at least for a while, you shouldn't want to touch cards.

This kid actually wanted to come again immediately? Was he that addicted to cards?

So soon a second person spoke up to challenge.

"I'll do it!"

This time it was a Yellow Dorm student.

"..."

"I activate the Spell Card 'Level Up!'! This card can increase the level of a 'LV' monster on the field!" The Yellow Dorm student said, "I'll increase the level of my 'Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6'!"

"Send LV6 to the Graveyard, ignore the summoning conditions, and Special Summon 'Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8' from the deck!"

【Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8, ATK 3000】

Yuma was excited: "Oh, oh, it seems like a very powerful guy has come out!"

"Hehe, don't look forward to it yet." The Yellow Dorm student laughed, "When Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 is on the field, all Spell Card activations and effects can be negated and destroyed."

Yuma was shocked: "Huh? So I can't use Spell Cards?"

Yellow Dorm student: "Next, activate the face-down card, Continuous Trap 'Royal Decree'! Let all Trap Cards on the field other than this card be negated!"

Yuma: "!??"

Nani, doesn't this mean even Trap Cards can't be used!?

So Yuma was dumbfounded again.

The last card game couldn't summon a single monster, and then this card game couldn't use Spells or Traps...

What is all this?

No, does Duel Academy play cards like this?

A simple Xyz boy seemed to feel the malice of the card world for the first time in his life.

So again, without any waves, Yuma was tragic again.

Actually, it wasn't just because of the lack of Astral's assistance. Yuma had another big difference from other protagonists; in the early casual matches, his own strength was much worse than in life-or-death matches.

It was well known that the main force of Yuma's deck was Hope stacking, and the overworked Hope slashed from the first episode to the finale; if there was a ranking for the number one overtime worker in Yu-Gi-Oh! history, it would definitely be Hope. Dark Magician, Neos, Stardust Dragon, they would all have to be tied together to compare overtime hours with Hope.

However, in Yuma's cognition, Number monsters belonged to the "cheat" type, and Yuma was a person with very good card ethics; generally, as long as the opponent didn't cheat first, he would insist on not using cheats. So not only Hope, but all the Numbers in his hand, he wouldn't use.

And the "not using" here didn't just mean "not summoning"; in casual matches, Number cards often weren't even in his Extra Deck. In the anime, there were several clear shots showing the audience that when the card game was halfway through, Yuma's card box would suddenly glow, and then the originally non-existent Hope would appear out of thin air.

Numbers didn't necessarily have to be summoned to be useful; as long as they were carried on the host, the host could obtain a steady stream of "power," which also belonged to part of the cheat. And Yuma, who had card ethics, not only didn't summon them, but often didn't have Number cards in his Extra Deck at all, meaning he didn't even have the blessing of this part of fate power, which was equivalent to fighting people in a "self-sealed realm" state.

Plus his early card skills were originally poor, so getting beaten was a matter of course.

However, Yuma had a strength, which was that he became braver the more he was beaten; after being beaten like this for two games in a row, he actually cheered up immediately.

"So amazing, as expected of Duel Academy, actually being able to make the opponent unable to even play cards!"

Yuma was very surprised.

"Is there more, is there more? Is there anyone else coming next?"

The students looked at each other again.

This kid... could it be that his brain was broken from the stimulation? ===== CHAPTER 1172 =====
