Iwana look at the remaining card in his hand smile as if victory already in his hand. "Uni-class Super-Dreadnought effect; If this card is special summon using Gunkan Suship Uni as material, it can attack directly. But-"
He looks at the last card in Ryuji hand and said: "If I remember correctly, Kiteroid effect can protect you from direct attack by discard it to your graveyard and it can activate again by banish it from graveyard, isn't it?"
'What the? Konami! This man breaks Yu-Gi-Oh anime rules! You're not supposed to know your opponent card effect unless they explain!' Ryuji cursed in his head but not panicked, he still has one more protection left. "So what? Can you deal with it?"
Iwana smiles confident. "How could I not? First, I activate this card from my hand, Dimensional Fissure! From now on any monster sent to the GY is banished instead." On the sky, a huge rift open, waiting for its prey to fall.
"Now I activate the final card on my hand, Confiscation! I pay 1000 Life Points. Look at my opponent's hand, select 1 card in it and discard that card. There's is no need to look, we all know what card it's. Because of Dimensional Fissure your Kiteroid is banished."
Ryuji frow as he watches his monster getting suck towards the rift on the sky and vanished completely. But what make him frow isn't because of that but because the card Iwana just use. 'Tch! Another banned card...'
Iwana: "Now you have nothing else to stop me! Uni-class Super-Dreadnought attack directly!"
The ship aims its cannon directly at Ryuji, ignore his monster. It's starting to fire at him; the hilarious thing is that all of its cannon balls are sushi.
His group watching outside instantly feel sorry for him, but Dextra just smile knowingly. 'As long as that monster still in his graveyard then he will never lose.' After all, she is among the person who lose because of it.
After a round of intense firing, the suship finally stop. Iwana immediately lock his eyes on Ryuji side then his pupils tremble in disbelief.
[Ryuji, LP: 1700 -> 700]
Before him, a huge dinosaur has protected him from all sushi fire at him.
[Stegocyber, def: 2400]
"Stegocyber effect; During damage calculation, if my opponent's monster attacks while this card is in my Graveyard: I can pay 1000 LP; Special Summon this card, and I take no battle damage from that battle."
Iwana sign helplessly, with no card in hand, there's nothing he could do. "I end my turn. Uni-class Super-Dreadnought return to normal."
[Gunkan Suship Uni-class Super-Dreadnought, atk: 2300 -> 2900]
"My turn, draw! During my Standby Phase, I can activate Dragonlark Pairen effect; I can detach 1 material from this card, then target 1 Level 5 or lower monster in my GY; Special Summon it. I detach 'Garura, Wings of Resonant Life'. If this card is sent to the GY: I can draw 1 card."
(Material of xyz monster did not count as monster card so it's not banished by Dimensional Fissure)
"I special summon Kaitoptera from my graveyard. Activate it effect to add 1 Polymerization to my hand."
Yuma and Tori outside the field already start to cheer for him. "Yes! Now he can fusion into Horned Saurus for direct attack and win the game, Iwana only have 2000 LP left!"
In contrast to what they think, Ryuji activate other card in his hand. "I activate Double Spell; By discard 1 spell card in my hand, I can activate 1 spell from opponent graveyard." Ryuji send a card from his hand to graveyard and then a card from Iwana graveyard flies out and land on Ryuji hand.
"The card I target in your graveyard is Pot of Greed and the card I send to graveyard is Card of Compensation. I activate both of their effect which let me draw 4 cards in total." Ryuji look at his newly draw cards and smile satisfied. 'All pieces are gathered.'
"I activate Trap Booster by discard 1 card. This turn, I can activate 1 card from my hand. I activate DNA Surgery from my hand! And since I activate a trap card, I can activate this monster effect from my hand to Special Summon itself, come here Flowerdino!"
[Flowerdino, atk: 2000]
"DNA Surgery effect; I turn every monster on the field to Warrior type."
Everyone present can't follow what Ryuji is doing right now. Among them, Dextra is the most confused since she knows almost every card in Ryuji deck but never see he use them like this. 'Warrior type? Wait... Now he has 2 level 4 warrior monsters on the field right now, could it be?' Dextra immediately think of the ace monster of their friend.
"I overlay Kaitoptera and Flowerdino, two level 4 warrior monsters. Xyz summon Heroic Champion - Excalibur!"
[Heroic Champion - Excalibur, atk: 2000]
Yuma eyes glowing when he sees the monster that just appear on Ryuji field. "So handsome!"
Dextra get even more confusion. 'Does not he always look down on Excalibur because it required to attack? And his LP right now is too much.'
Iwana also don't understand his play. "All of that just to summon a monster with 2000 atk? That's not enough to breakthrough my suship!"
Ryuji smile mysteriously. "You will know soon enough. First, I activate Mystik Wok; I can tribute 1 monster and select either its ATK or DEF and gain that many Life Points. I tribute Stegocyber and choose its atk gaining 1200 LP."
[Ryuji, LP: 700 -> 1900]
'??? Why choose lower atk over its def' Right now, no one understand Ryuji play anymore.
"Now, my final card Psychic Blade! I can pay LP in multiples of 100 (max. 2000); equip this card to a monster. It gains that much ATK and DEF. I pay 1450 LP and equip it to Excalibur!"
[Heroic Champion - Excalibur, atk: 2000 -> 3450]
[Ryuji, LP: 1900 -> 450]
"Now, Excalibur attack Gunkan Suship Uni-class Super-Dreadnought. Activate Excalibur effect; During either player's turn, when this card battles: I can detach all Xyz Materials from this card; this card's ATK is doubled, until the end of the Battle Phase." This is also one of the differences between anime and real-life version. Real life version doubles its original atk while anime doubles its current.
[Heroic Champion - Excalibur, atk: 3450 -> 6900]
"6900!!!" Everyone shouting in disbelief. Iwana looking at his monster and hesitate for a moment but didn't say anything.
Excalibur hold its sword with both hand and raise it above its head. A golden energy released from the sword and shoot towards the sky. Ryuji mimic certain King-Wife and shout out loud. "Excalibur!!!!"
The sword swings downward and cut the ship in half, then it keeps going, destroy everything in its path and hitting Iwana who was standing in daze.
[Iwana, LP: 2000 -> 0]
[Winner: Ryuji]
________________________________________
"So, you use to be a professional duelist?" Kari asks curiously, she's currently interview him after the battle, she plans to upload it along with the battle. Of course, it's after getting accept by Ryuji and Iwana.
"Hahaha, did I not look like one? I'm used to be top 10 duelist of Japen! Though I have quitting being duelist for 30 years, so I guess no one remember me anymore." Iwana say with a bit sadness in his voice, remember his glory days.
As for whether he lied or not, no one doubt it. His duel with Ryuji already prove his power.
On the other side, Ryuji was sitting quietly in the corner without anyone noticed. In front of him is a blue panel. He was sorting the list of the girls got affect by his Light of Corruption. Using the system function to show their age, race, body measurements and beauty level which determine by the type of girl he prefers.
There're two list, one is unnamed side character with beauty level over 90. The second is list of side and main characters appear in Yu-Gi-Oh anime and manga. He has to sort them because the system doesn't have auto delete function and he don't have time to pay attention to many people at once.
Right now, there're over 50 members in the first list. Beauty level over 90 is the lowest he can accept now and if the number keep rising then he will raise it. As for the second list. Well, he won't let anyone escape.
"Grahhh!"
Beside Ryuji, a black dragon head with red eyes appears and let out displeased cry. Ryuji smile helplessly trying to comfort it. "Sorry, next time I definitely summon you to the field."
The dragon let out a small roar before disappearing, but then a card appears on Ryuji hand. "Hmm? What's this?"
Ryuji look at the card in his hand with curious but quickly lose interest. He takes out a second deck from his pocket and put the card in. 'Evolsaur Darwino added, only lack Elias and Lios to complete the archetypes.'
The card that just got freshly printed by his monster is no other than a monster from Evol archetypes include Evoltile, Evolsaur and Evolzar. 'Sign... I almost forgot these two archetypes exist. Seriously, did anyone ever use monster from these two archetypes?' To him it's completely useless.
'Next time try to print some Jurrac monster instead.' Ryuji stand up and wake toward the others place after they've completely the interview. "... Nonetheless, thanks you, partners."
Right now, only Iwana was there, sitting alone. As for where's the others, he doesn't know. When Iwana see Ryuji, he hands him a glass of orange juice and pat the spot next to him telling Ryuji to sit down.
Ryuji take the glass and sit down. "Where are the others?"
Iwana: "I tell them to go get some food to bring home, since they say today is that Yuma kid birthday and I have a good mood."
Ryuji: "How generous. I'm gonna get some later too."
Iwana look at Ryuji mockingly. "Too bad, everyone except for you can have free food but you have to pay yourself."
"That's unfair! Did you hold grudge against me because you lose the duel?" Ryuji instantly voice out his dissatisfaction.
"Tch! How can I hold grudge over a lose duel? I'm not that childish. But I'm indeed hold a grudge against you, because-" Iwana glance at Ryuji with his sharp eyes. "-you dare to hold back!"
Seeing Iwana sharp eyes directly at him, Ryuji smile awkward. "Haha, I don't know what you are talking about. And if I actually hold back, doesn't you also? You clearly can use your Uni-class Super-Dreadnought to negate my Excalibur effect, doesn't it?"
"And what's the difference if I did? Your Dragonlark Pairen gonna directly attack me and I will lose anyway." Iwana take a sip from his tea and show Ryuji three cards from his deck. "Take 1, I only have 1 copy each so choose wisely." The card he shows is no other than his 3 xyz monster of suship archetypes.
Ryuji not immediately take one but ask Iwana. "Won't you feel heartbroken when giving your partner away like this?"
Iwana take a deep look at his monster and smile helplessly. "How could I not? But I don't want them to be forgotten like me. They're belong to duel field, I want them to continue to shine that's why I want to find them a new master."
He has no other choice, he doesn't have any children or successor so this is the only way he could find one to entrust his partners to other.
"I see... Don't worry old man, I will make them shine even brighter than when they're with you." He takes one card out from Iwana hand 'Gunkan Suship Uni-class Super-Dreadnought'.
"You truly love negate effect huh? When you collect seven suship card again, you can come directly to me for another card. No need for another test, by the way you can also have this card. I also only have 1 copy of it." The card Iwana give him is the field spell 'Gunkan Sushipyard Seaside Supper Spot'.
Ryuji: "Don't mind if I do, I will definitely come back soon so make sure all of your sushi in the future are fresh."
Iwana: "Hmph! My sushi always fresh."
After saying goodbye to Iwana, Ryuji waiting for others and going together to Yuma house.
________________________________________
On the way to Tsukumo household, the three girls going ahead laughing together while Yuma and Ryuji walking behind them.
Ryuji decided to start the conversation. "Since you want to become a duelist in the future, have you decided which type of deck you want to use?"
Yuma scratch his head embarrassedly. "About that, I don't think about it yet, but perhaps an aggressive deck focus on summon high atk monster like that Excalibur you summon just now. I will definitely look very cool doing that!"
"Haha, I see. By the way, I haven't given you birthday present yet, have I?" Ryuji slowly take out a card from his pocket.
Yuma shake his trying to deny his offer. "There's no need! Today I'm already very satisfying, get to watch so many duel in a single day is more than enough for me."
"Don't be shy, this is not even the present I plan to give you. But I not done prepare it so you can have it for now." Ryuji put it in Yuma hand and speed up to catch up with the girls. "If you want to repay me, then grow into a powerful duelist and give me a good duel. I have huge trust in you, Yuma."
Yuma look at the card in his hand in daze 'Heroic Champion Excalibur'. "I will definitely grow stronger, strong enough to defeat you!" Yuma said with determinate look in his eyes.
'This kid... He will become good friends with Nistro.' The reason he chooses to give Yuma Excalibur is because it's perfectly replaced Utopia. Both rank 4 warrior xyz monster, Yuma use Utopia by double its atk and Excalibur can do the same by itself.
As for Excalibur drawback, which protagonist in Yu-Gi-Oh don't have they LP become like candle in the wind once?
"By the way, don't forget to come and watch my battle tomorrow and the day after."
