Wanna Duel? I've Got the Pharaoh's Deck! [15]
Added 2025-06-13 08:40:47 +0000 UTCThe three of them left the dojo with just a few steps, arriving at the outdoor dueling field that had been mentioned earlier.
Sunlight poured from a cloudless sky, evenly casting its warmth and brightness over every corner—truly, a perfect day for a Duel.
“I’ll serve as the temporary referee for this match,” Mai announced, standing at the edge of the dueling field. “LP is set to 8000, the format is New Master Rule 2, and the match is a single game. If Yuuhi-kun wins, Yuki must approve his application to join the club. If he loses, he must withdraw his request. Any objections from either of you?”
The replies came without hesitation.
“No problem.”
“Same here.”
Yuki gave Yuuhi a cool glance from across the field. “This won’t be like my Duel with Mai. We’re using the 8000 LP format, and I won’t go easy on you. I hope you’re prepared.”
“I am. Otherwise, this Duel wouldn’t mean anything.”
Whether it was due to the earlier mention of Feel, or simply her serious demeanor, Izayoi Yuki standing on the Duel Field carried a certain pressure. But Yuuhi didn’t back down.
He attached his folded Duel Disk to his arm, locked it into place, and inserted his Deck, which auto-shuffled with a mechanical whirr.
“I’m ready, Izayoi-san. Let’s begin.”
“Then let’s Duel.”
Yuki raised her rose-colored Duel Disk in sync with his.
“Duel!” x2
[Yuuhi LP: 8000]
[Izayoi Yuki LP: 8000]
The moment the Duel was declared, a beep sounded from Yuuhi’s Duel Disk, lighting up to indicate he’d won the opening draw.
“I activate the [Heart of the Underdog]!”
After glancing at his hand for less than five seconds, Yuuhi made his move.
“It’s simple: while this card is on the field, if I draw a Normal Monster during my Draw Phase, I can reveal it and draw one more card.”
He slid two cards into his Spell/Trap zone and placed one monster facedown in Defense Position.
“I set two cards and one monster. End of turn.”
“Still keeping it simple, huh, Yuuhi-kun?”
Seeing four new cards appear on his field, Mai couldn’t help but smile as she recalled the first turn of their own Duel.
“But this kind of move might not work so well on Yuki. Because—”
“My turn.”
Yuki cut in calmly, her draw smooth and unhurried, just loud enough for Yuuhi to hear.
Yet there was no mistaking the force behind it.
“I Normal Summon: [Twilight Rose Knight].”
[Twilight Rose Knight | Level 3 | DARK | Warrior | Tuner | ATK: 1000 / DEF: 1000]
A flash of silver appeared as a young silver-haired knight raised his sword and stepped forth.
“When [Twilight Rose Knight] is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Plant-Type monster from my hand. I Special Summon [Lonefire Blossom].”
[Lonefire Blossom | Level 3 | FIRE | Plant | ATK: 500 / DEF: 1400]
With a slash of the knight’s sword, a plant sprouted from the earth. At its top, a closed bud pulsed with a firework-like glow before blooming—revealing the shape of another monster inside.
“Now I activate [Lonefire Blossom]’s effect. Once per turn, I can Tribute it to Special Summon another [Lonefire Blossom] from my Deck, then do it again. I Tribute the third one to Special Summon—[World Carrotweight Champion].”
[World Carrotweight Champion | Level 4 | DARK | Plant | ATK: 1900 / DEF: 0]
“A Level 3 Tuner and a Level 4 monster…?” Yuuhi’s eyes narrowed as realization struck. Don’t tell me…
“I tune [Twilight Rose Knight] with [World Carrotweight Champion]!”
Yuki removed the two cards from her field. The knight dissolved into three green Synchro Rings that wrapped around the vegetable warrior, highlighting four shimmering stars.
A beam of radiant light pierced through both stars and rings alike.
This was no Xyz Summon—this was a different kind of brilliance. A miracle formed by the addition of star levels.
3★ + 4★ = 7★
“Let the world be consumed by the flames of frost! Bloom, dark rose of ruin—Synchro Summon!”
“Come forth—[Black Rose Dragon]!”
Yuki’s voice rang through the air as a magnificent dragon unfurled its wings.
Unlike the typical Western dragon, this one was draped in rose petals. Its entire body resembled a deadly yet elegant bloom—beauty cloaked in lethal danger.
[Black Rose Dragon | Level 7 | FIRE | Dragon | Synchro | ATK: 2400 / DEF: 1800]
Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monster
It really is [Black Rose Dragon]—!
Yuuhi had heard her surname and should have made the connection.
Even in this new world, it seemed, the link between them still held.
“In front of [Black Rose Dragon], your simple, static defense is useless. Upon Synchro Summon, it activates its effect: destroy all cards on the field—”
“Hold it!”
Yuuhi interrupted with a shout.
“[Black Rose Dragon] hasn’t successfully summoned yet. At this moment—I activate my Set card: Counter Trap—[Horn of Heaven]!”
[Horn of Heaven (Counter Trap): Pay LP and Tribute 1 monster you control; negate the Summon of a monster and destroy it.]
One of Yuuhi’s Set cards flipped open, and the face-down monster on his field shattered. A divine horn sounded across the field.
The moment the blaring trumpet rang out, the blooming dragon froze—then let out a cry as it shattered into thousands of petals, vanishing into the wind.
“[Black Rose Dragon]...!”
“Its effect only activates if the Synchro Summon succeeds. If it’s negated, nothing happens.”
Yuuhi let out a breath of relief.
Good thing I had a trap ready for this. If I’d taken a full field wipe from Black Rose, it’d be over.
“Tch… you actually stopped it.”
Yuki sent the destroyed card to her Graveyard, a flicker of surprise passing through her crimson eyes.
She’d thought that move would leave Yuuhi unable to fight back. Looking back now, she had underestimated him.
“But it’s not over yet. If Black Rose didn’t work, I’ll go with brute force.”
“I activate [Unexpected Dai]. Since I control no monsters, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from my Deck. I summon [Angel Trumpeter].”
A spell card flashed, summoning a plant-type monster with trumpet-like petals shaped like a mandrake flower.
[Angel Trumpeter | Level 4 | EARTH | Plant | Tuner | ATK: 1900 / DEF: 1600]
“Then I activate [World Carrotweight Champion]’s effect. Once per turn, I can discard a Plant monster to Special Summon it from the Graveyard.”
With nutrients once again poured into the soil, the enormous carrot warrior rose from the ground a second time.
Though her Normal Summon and Black Rose were gone, Yuki’s field was now filled with two monsters—each boasting 1900 ATK.
“You’ve got no monsters left, and only one Set card. Think that’s enough?”
She didn’t waste the chance Yuuhi had given her when activating his trap. With cool detachment, she declared: “[Angel Trumpeter], [World Carrotweight Champion]—attack directly!”
“Ugh…!”
[Yuuhi LP: 8000 → 4200]
Both direct attacks landed cleanly—Yuuhi had taken the full brunt.
If this were a 4000 LP match, he’d already be in top-deck hero territory.
“Looks like that last Set card was a bluff. Main Phase 2—”
Yuki lifted her hand again.
“I tune Level 4 [Angel Trumpeter] with Level 4 [World Carrotweight Champion].”
The battle was over, but her offense was not. With a sweep of her hand, new Synchro energy burst forth on her field.
“Witness the awe of the Crimson King! Feel the force that shakes the heavens and earth!”
“Synchro Summon!”
“Appear—[Red Dragon Archfiend]!!”
