Chapter 823: Morphtronic Sortie

"The monster effect of Marshmallon."

Fujiki You Xuan explained to Leo with a chuckle.

"After this card in face-down Defense Position is attacked, the player who attacked this card takes 1000 points of damage."

Leo: "Ah? There's such a thing..."

The bespectacled student next to him said: "That's not right, even so, the monster should have been destroyed by battle..."

"Marshmallon cannot be destroyed by battle." Fujiki You Xuan said.

Leo: "Ah!? It cannot be destroyed by battle, then Datatron's effect of attacking twice has no meaning..."

Fujiki You Xuan said: "And flip the set card, Trap Card 'Card of Sacrifice'."

"If the total ATK of all monsters on my field is lower than the lowest ATK monster on the opponent's field, draw two cards from the Deck." (Original effect)

Leo: "Marshmallon's ATK is lower than Datatron..."

The small Marshmallon held its head high, as if proud of the fact that its ATK was low.

"Yes." Fujiki You Xuan said, "Therefore, I draw two cards from the Deck."

"However, the turn this card is activated, I cannot perform any monster Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon."

Leo said disappointedly: "Fine, then turn end."

In the original work, Yusei evaluated that Leo at the current stage mostly immerses himself in his own duels, wouldn't consider the opponent's tactics and responses, and would only be proud of his own combo.

This, although it shows his enthusiasm for dueling, Yusei said that he wouldn't go far like this. Dueling should be an interaction between both sides, a collision of strategies and tactics.

This theory still makes sense in the current era, but Fujiki You Xuan thinks that it might not be the case in the distant future.

After all, in the modern Yu-Gi-Oh era, holding a mainstream deck and talking to the wall for five minutes, and when finished, the game is almost over, there is no interaction at all. You only need to focus on your own development.

Looking at it this way, Leo's understanding of dueling is too advanced.

Fujiki You Xuan said: "Then it's my turn, draw."

"Activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Duality'."

"Excavate the top three cards of my Deck, choose one and add it to my hand. The remaining cards return to the Deck."

Fujiki You Xuan drew three cards, glanced at them, picked one to add to his hand, and inserted the rest back into the Deck in the Duel Disk. The Deck was automatically shuffled.

"However, Pot of Duality has side effects." Fujiki You Xuan said, "The turn this card is activated, I cannot Special Summon monsters."

Leo put his hands on his hips: "What, if you can't Special Summon, it's very difficult to launch an effective attack."

"Indeed."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and continued.

"Then set two cards in the back row. Next, activate the Spell Card 'Hand Destruction' from my hand."

"Both players discard their entire hands, then draw the same number."

Leo's face shriveled up: "Ah? Discard hand again..."

He gritted his teeth, looking very reluctant to part with every card, muttering while slowly sending cards to the Graveyard one by one.

The bespectacled student watching from the side felt secretly strange.

"This person has been drawing cards and replacing his hand, it's only the second turn and he's already gone through so many cards..."

Marshmallon is a meat shield that can't be moved on the field, but it has no other offensive ability besides the 1000 burn damage when flipped. But the opponent doesn't seem to have any intention of launching other offensive means.

It looks like he is just stalling for time.

Stalling for time with Marshmallon, seemingly preparing to find something specific in the Deck.

"The effect of Hand Destruction, one of the cards just discarded to the Graveyard is the monster card 'Scholar Spirit'."

The ghost of the bespectacled spirit appeared on Fujiki You Xuan's field, adjusted his glasses, and read the spell while looking at the complex magic books in his hand.

"When Scholar Spirit is sent to the Graveyard, I can draw one card from the Deck."

Fujiki You Xuan drew another card.

"Then activate the set card on the field." Fujiki You Xuan opened the back row, "Spell Card 'Burial Spell of Treasure'."

"This card can draw two cards from the Deck by banishing three Spell Cards from the Graveyard." (Original card)

A golden light flashed in Fujiki You Xuan's Duel Disk Graveyard, and three cards were returned to his hand in order. Fujiki You Xuan displayed the three cards.

"Banish the Spell Cards 'Hand Destruction', 'Dark World Dealings', and 'Pot of Duality' from the Graveyard, and draw two cards from the Deck."

Leo: "Draw cards again?"

He was a bit dumbfounded. He had lost count of how many cards the opponent had gone through in just two turns.

Is this guy here specifically to play card-drawing, or to duel him?

"Then Normal Summon 'Air Circulation Machine' in Defense Position."

Fujiki You Xuan finally summoned a monster. What appeared was a robot with a blue shell, with a huge fan on its head, spinning and whirring from the moment it was summoned.

【Air Circulation Machine, DEF 600】

"The effect of Air Circulation Machine," Fujiki You Xuan said, "Activate when this card is successfully summoned."

"Return two cards from my hand to the Deck and shuffle."

Fujiki You Xuan picked out two more cards from his hand, inserted them into the Deck, and shuffled them automatically. Then two more cards popped out from the top and he drew them into his hand.

"After shuffling, I can draw two more cards from the Deck."

"Change hand again..." Leo scratched his head, "Mister, can you hurry up? Isn't it my turn yet?"

Fujiki You Xuan was amused.

A child's patience is really not good, it's only been a while and he's already impatient. If he came to the modern Yu-Gi-Oh environment and the opponent talked for five minutes, wouldn't he be autistic?

"Finally, set one card, my turn ends."

The bespectacled student was not like Leo who only cared about playing cards. He looked at Fujiki You Xuan who kept drawing cards, feeling strange in his heart: "Leo be careful, I feel this person's duel is weird..."

"I know I know! Don't worry!"

Leo was excited.

"Good, finally finished, it's my turn again, draw!"

Leo drew a card.

"Summon Tuner monster, 'Morphtronic Remoten'!"

A small white device, looking like an air conditioner remote control. A pair of cartoon green eyes lit up on the remote's display, thin little hands stretched out on both sides, and a pair of little legs at the bottom, jumping very lively.

【Morphtronic Remoten, ATK 300】

"Here here here! Finally coming!"

Leo's emotions reached their peak.

"I use Level 3 'Morphtronic Remoten'!"

"Level 4 'Morphtronic Datatron', Synchro Tune!"

【3+4=7】

"To protect world peace, connect courage and power! Synchro Summon!"

"Messenger of love and justice—"

"—Power Tool Dragon!!!"
