……
After some time, the on-site construction phase finally ended, and both sides obtained a complete set of forty cards.
Inevitably, some single cards with limited usefulness were included in these forty cards, but this actually increased the fun of the game.
After speaking with the audience, Judy had the two girls each choose and put on their Duel Disks. She then taught them how to use the Duel Disks and took the opportunity to demonstrate.
Although it was Pandora and Winnie's first time actually using the Duel Disk, they had both done some prior research and quickly acquired it.
"Please create a title, duelist."
After they activated the Duel Disk, they heard a monotone voice prompt.
"Log in, Silver Dragon Girl!"
"Login, Daughter of Winter!"
……
After completing their ascent, the two exchanged a glance, stood apart, and raised their Duel Disks to "connect" with each other.
A moment later, a voice prompt sounded from the Duel Disk: "Connection successful."
"Silver Dragon Girl VS. Daughter of Winter."
……
Just as Witt and Robert had demonstrated, thick iron chains emerged from beneath their feet, extending forward along both sides and connecting instantly.
"Crack!"
The venue connection is complete.
The entire arena was suddenly engulfed in flames, and numbers representing health points appeared within the flame frames at both ends.
In the middle of the venue, the words "Preparation Phase" were also displayed.
Pandora glanced down at the Duel Disk that was automatically shuffling, and felt a slightly different feeling than before.
Although she didn't deliberately look at the audience seats, she knew that Hephaestus must be watching from somewhere.
"So that's what it feels like to have family watching from the audience?"
Pandora squinted slightly, recalling the first time Dark Dimon stepped onto the dueling ring in this open-air arena.
At that moment, he seemed slightly melancholy because he had spotted Arvit in the audience.
"This feeling is surprisingly good."
Pandora immediately looked up at Winnie Skadi across from her.
She wasn't particularly competitive with this girl a year below her. But sorry, she absolutely had to win this mock duel.
……
Winnie noticed her gaze and smiled as if in response.
After the shuffle was finished, both players lit up a button on the duel disk.
A giant dice projection jumps out from it and spins rapidly in front of both players.
The dice gradually come to a stop, determining the number.
Pandora: 5
Winnie: 6
……
"Looks like I won!"
A smile appeared on Winnie's face.
Although the simulated duel has a rule that you can't attack at the start, she still believes that only the player who goes first can take control of the situation.
"It's just dice."
Pandora gave a curt reply.
Then both parties draw cards at the same time.
With five cards in hand, both players' expressions shifted slightly as they quickly began to think.
The "preparation phase" above the field has also switched to the "battle phase".
Below the "Battle Phase" is marked "[Round 1 (1)]".
(1) represents the first player's turn.
"The battle begins!"
As the referee, Judy spoke up at the right time.
Winnie smiled slightly, drew one card from her five-card hand, and then activated it immediately: "I activate the 'Field Card' from my hand—'Flaming Mountain'!"
At the start of the battle, Winnie immediately deployed "Field Cards" to establish her presence on the field.
As the "Flaming Mountain" card design appeared in the center of the arena, continuous mountain ranges suddenly rose up on both sides of the arena, with blazing flames leaping above the mountains and blood-red lava flowing.
Winnie, whose name is "Daughter of Winter," chose a fire element deck!
After activating "Fire Mountain," she immediately drew her second card and announced, "In a Fire Field, a Magical Spirit with the special move 'Eye of Fire' can be Special Summoned without occupying a Normal Summon slot."
"Therefore, I hereby Special Summon a four-star magical spirit—'Fire Elemental Lizard'!"
Card Name: Fire Elemental Lizard
【grade:】
[Race: Elemental]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Attack power: 1800]
[Defense: 600]
Ultimate Skill: Eye of Fire
Fire elemental lizards, born from flames, emerge in the "Summoning Zone".
Without a second thought, Winnie continued summoning: "I'll summon another 3-star magical spirit in 'Defensive Position'—'Elemental Totem? Fire'!"
[Card Name: Elemental Totem - Fire]
【grade:】
[Attack power: 0]
[Defense: 2000]
Ultimate Skill: Fire Element Aura
"When 'Elemental Totem - Fire' is present, all our Fire-type Magical Spirits except for those with 'Elemental Totem - Fire' will receive a 300-point attack bonus."
"In addition to the 'Flaming Mountain' terrain effect, all 'Fire-type' magical spirits will receive a 200-point attack bonus."
"Therefore, the Fire Elemental Lizard's attack power has been increased to 2300 points!"
"I'll put one more card down, and the round ends."
With only one card left in her hand, Winnie declared the end of her turn.
The words above the field instantly changed to 【Round 1 (2)】.
……
"You increased your attack power to 2300 points in one go?"
Pandora calmly looked at the cards in her hand, then drew a magic card and said.
"In that case, I'll borrow your space for a bit."
"Trigger 'Eye of Fire' to Special Summon the Spell Spirit with 'Eye of Fire'—'Fire Elemental Warrior'."
Card Name: Fire Elemental Warrior
【grade:】
[Race: Elemental]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Attack power: 1700]
[Defense: 700]
Ultimate Skill: Eye of Fire
When the "Fire Elemental Warrior" wielding a sword and shield was projected from the "Summoning Zone," Winnie's expression clearly changed.
Judy, the senior student, explained, "In simulated duels, almost all 'Field Cards' alter the entire field, and the field effect applies to both players... Unfortunately, the 'Eye of the Elements' series of Magical Spirits generally have low attack and defense. This 'Fire Elemental Warrior' and even 'Fire Elemental Lizard' are even lower. Let's see what Pandora can do next!"
Before she could finish speaking, Pandora used her normal summon for this turn: "I now summon a Level 2 Magical Spirit in Attack Position—'777 Mimic'."
……
“It’s your magical sprite!” Susan and Lucy exclaimed, tugging at Emma’s sleeve.
Emma, however, glared at Dark's retreating figure with displeasure.
"777 Treasure Chest Monster" is a very unique magical spirit, and very few students in the academy have this magical spirit.
Darko Dimon got his design inspiration from her without saying a word.
(^) Hmph...
Although named "Mimic," "777 Mimic" is more like a slot machine shaped like a mimic.
After summoning it, Pandora said, "'777 Mimic,' use your special attack '777.'"
Then the "777 Treasure Chest Monster" moved accordingly, and the right lever automatically pulled down.
The three numbers on the treasure chest lid immediately began to flip.
Three seconds later, the lever snapped back, and the numbers stopped flipping.
→【777】
Half a second later.
The treasure chest suddenly opened its lid and inflated like a balloon.
"Good luck."
Pandora glanced at Winnie across from her and gave a barely perceptible smile.
Winnie was also keeping a close eye on the "777 Treasure Chest Monster".
Then you can see that the attack and defense power of this magical spirit has changed from "700" multiplied by 3 to "2100"!
"A two-star magical spirit with 2100 points in attack and defense..."
The audience erupted in uproar.
This isn't the first time the "777 Mimic" has appeared on the dueling stage. However, there are almost no duelists who can roll "777".
Many people were seeing the effect of this ultimate move for the first time, and suddenly felt an indescribable excitement.
But back on the field.
Even though the "777 Mimic" has a high attack and defense stat of 2100, Winnie's "Fire Elemental Lizard" has an attack stat of 2300, which is still higher than the "777 Mimic".
Even if the "Elemental Totem - Fire" is killed, the "Fire Elemental Lizard" still has higher attack power than the "Fire Elemental Warrior".
Winnie will also have a four-star magic sprite in her field.
Therefore, after a moment of slight surprise, Winnie stopped looking at the mimic and instead focused intently on Pandora's movements.
The two summons were just the beginning.
Pandora then drew two cards in quick succession: "I'll place these two cards face down in the 'Face Zone,' and then... '777 Mimic,' attack 'Elemental Totem'!"
"Roar!"
The "777 Treasure Chest Monster" suddenly opened its lid, and the white light that shot out from it instantly pierced through the "Elemental Totem - Fire"!
The Fire Elemental Lizard's attack power immediately dropped to 2000 points.
