At an empty field on Ceasar Street
Both girls stepped onto the field, their faces extremely serious
I, Alvin and Lucas carefully sat down in the middle while on the right was the gang group of Yukiko's side and the noble group on the left of Lisa's side
"Uhm... Is sitting here a good idea?" Alvin asked, looking extremely worried
"Probably? We didn't badmouth them or anything, right?" I said, looking completely natural
In the end they were good people, just a bit overprotective of their leaders, especially Lisa's noble group where all of them were tsundere
"Whoa! Sugoi sugoi! This is so cool!" Lucas on the other side sat closer to a guy with spiked hair
"Right?! This is the card big bro spent 3 months of credits to make!" He raised his face and said proudly
"Yours ain't worth a cent! Look at mine!" Another guy came over and showed his card to Lucas
"Not your turn yet! Look at this!" Another guy kicked the bragging one in the head then took out his card to show
"Whoaa!!!" Lucas's eyes lit up continuously as he saw those super cool monsters in his eyes
"YOU GUYS!!"
The voice of the guy with Pompadour hair shouted loudly making the whole group fall silent
"W-We're sorry!" The whole group panicked and lowered themselves, he just huffed lightly then looked at Lucas
"...Do I need to apologize too?"
"No need" he said then walked closer to Lucas
A card was drawn out for Lucas to see, making Lucas blink as he looked at the card then up at the guy's face
The guy looked away and coughed lightly
"...whoa, cool... Really cool"
"Hmph, of course"
I pulled back, both groups had tsundere
And Lucas made friends with this group easily huh? Almost no problems at all
"Look, they're about to start the duel" Alvin poked my shoulder and pointed forward
Both Yukiko and Lisa took their decks and shuffled them, placed them beside and drew 4 cards
"Ohohoho, can't believe there would be a day I duel with you, so pay close attention to know how you lose~" Lisa raised her hand and laughed hoho
"Shut it, I'm definitely going to make that mouth of yours only drink water to live"
"Try me, commoner"
"Oh I will, bitch"
"Ara ara how rude, didn't anyone teach you how to sew your mouth shut when talking to others?"
"Even if sewn it won't stop me from tearing that mouth of yours apart"
Oi oi oi, just starting and already beefing each other so loudly, calm down
"Duel~" "Duel" both shouted, immediately auras erupted from both
[Turn begin, 10 seconds preparation]
Lisa Lisanna: LP 4000
Yukiko: LP 4000
Both then raised their cards and began chanting
...
...
...
My eyes twitched a bit seeing both still chanting to summon, a bit impatient
With this style I definitely have to create duel disks for this world, because summoning takes so much time that of course there are ways to counter duelists
"I summon Zip zap bird!"
"Come forth Scrap bike!"
A yellow-feathered chicken with some electric details
Uhm, it's called Bird but looks no different from a chicken
The other side was even worse, it was a bicycle with 2 cartoon-like eyes, its body pieced together from scrap iron
"OHHH!! BIG SIS SUMMONED HER REPRESENTATIVE MONSTER!!"
"As expected a refined person like Lisa must summon a monster that matches those standards"
Then those people hyped up about what?
Zip Zap Bird (lv 2)
Type: Electric
Atk: 50
Hp: 300
Race: Bird(?)
Scrap Bike (lv 1)
Type: Metal
Atk: 0
Hp: 500
Race: Mech
Just looking at the 2 types you can tell right away the dueling styles of both
Lisa focused completely on fast attacks and quick wins in an elegant way, while Yukiko was the tanky type that hits hard like Hulk
Currently both knew nothing about the opponent's cards so they played carefully by summoning weak ones first
"Ara ara? Are you so afraid of being defeated early that you summon a monster with no attack power? If so then why not let me finish it quickly so you don't feel humiliated anymore?"
"Look at your weak monster, are you sure you'll beat me with a monster that looks like a Christmas meal?"
"How rude"
And both of them argued again
[Turn 1]
"Zip Zap Bird, attack!" Lisa ordered
Zip Zap Bird immediately charged with lightning speed, using its feet to kick 3 times into Scrap Bike
Hp: 500 > 350
"What?! Kicking so fast?!" Lucas was surprised
"So that's why Atk is only 50, truly a worthwhile trade-off"
However right after Zip Zap Bird finished attacking, Scrap Bike split into 3 scrap pieces
"This is...?" Lisa raised her eyebrows looking
"Activate spell card Life Shield! Allows my life core to take no damage this turn"
"Here it is! That's exactly big sis's ultimate strategy!" A guy with extremely shocking hair said
'ultimate strategy?' Lucas and Alvin both thought
"I don't know what you're planning but it's useless against me!" Lisa said
"Useless? Not necessarily correct" Yukiko replied, looking extremely confident
'tch, still so many seconds left but I can't attack her life core, so annoying' Lisa thought silently
[Turn 1 end, draw phase]
Both drew cards, Lisa glared at Yukiko who still looked indifferent and got annoyed
"Let's see how long you can stay indifferent! Use equip card!"
If everyone forgot, equip cards are spell or special cards, the type Lisa used is a spell card
"I equip Free Feet to Zip Zap Bird!"
Zip zap bird immediately wore a pair of light yellow sneakers, it struck a pose with those shoes
"...There are sneakers in this world?" I blinked looking
"Then I summon Agile Squirrel!"
A white-furred squirrel with some yellow lightning details
Agile Squirrel (lv 1)
Type: Electric
Atk: 50
Hp: 50
Race: Animals
"Use electricity production skill!" Lisa immediately ordered Agile Squirrel
It took out a round wheel and ran inside it, then produced electricity
"What the hell is that?" Alvin was completely confused, not understanding what was happening
"Hmph, commoners like you how could you understand the intentions of Lady Lisa?" A follower of Lisa said with a contemptuous look
"So do you know?" Lucas asked with an innocent face
"...Lady Lisa's strategy is not something easy to understand, only she knows what she plans to do"
IF YOU DON'T KNOW JUST SAY SO!
"Then I set 1 card on the field" Lisa placed it down then looked straight at Yukiko
"If that's all you have then I'm a bit disappointed"
"Nani?" Lisa narrowed her eyes looking, face displeased
"I tribute summon!"
What?!
The whole group was confused except me and Yukiko's followers
"There's no other monster on Yukiko's field??" Lucas stood up saying
"You're so dumb, look carefully at those scrap pieces" I said
Alvin and Lucas confusedly looked then realized something was off
Normally when monsters are defeated they disappear immediately not leave anything on the field
Moreover it was strange, Zip Zap Bird didn't have enough damage to finish a monster with 500 hp, yet it broke into pieces
Could it be...?
"I get it, truly the strategy of a dirty rural person" Lisa realized immediately
"Splitting into 3 scrap pieces is its Passive, and those scrap pieces can be used as tribute materials if the monster you summon is the same type as it, right?"
"As expected the top student, just a pity you realized a bit late, come forth! Unstoppable Motorbike!"
... Unstoppable Motorbike? Who named that?
Immediately 2 scrap pieces became a silver and black motorcycle, full of spikes and with 2 cartoon eyes
Unstoppable Motorbike (lv 6)
Type: Metal
Atk: 2500
Hp: 1000
Race: Mech
"HERE IT IS! BIG SIS'S ACE MONSTER!!"
"DESTROY THAT CHICKEN AND CRUSH THAT SQUIRREL BIG SIS!!"
"SHOW THEM THE POWER OF OUR MOTORCYCLE GANG!!!"
"GO GO UNSTOPPABLE MOTORBIKE!!"
No, seriously, who named it that? Don't you see its face looking sad?
Yukiko's underlings made a ruckus, while the nobles' faces got worse
'A lv 6 monster that needs 2 tribute materials? Weird' I put my hand on my chin thinking
Lucas and Alvin didn't know about tributes so they didn't understand this since they hadn't learned it yet, both just felt overwhelmed seeing a high lv monster so close to them (Geo-Drake: are you guys kidding me?)
"To inaugurate its appearance in front of those who have never seen it, I'll unleash it" Yukiko smiled confidently, making Lisa narrow her eyes
[Turn 2]
"Attack, UNSTOPPABLE MOTORBIKE!!!"
It roared like an uncontrollable fierce beast, then charged at high speed
The ground under the wheels flew everywhere, sticking straight into Lucas's face
"AGHHH!! MY EYES!!" Lucas fell down covering his face, Yukiko's underlings still stood there seriously watching the battle
"Truly no different from its master, zip zap bird dodge quickly!"
Zip zap bird then jumped up, and unlike a normal jump, this jump was clearly higher and fell slower
'free feet, an equip that allows the monster to run faster, jump higher, fall slower and foot attacks stronger and faster, a perfect equip for monsters that attack with feet' I thought, Zip Zap Bird was still floating slowly
But what they didn't expect... More accurately accidentally forgot
Unstoppable Motorbike still charged straight, and was about to ram into the life core!!
"Activate trap card! Thunderbolt!"
Immediately a black cloud appeared, shooting thunder straight into Unstoppable Motorbike
However even hit by the trap card, Unstoppable Motorbike still charged like a mad buffalo
"What?!" Lisa was startled, after all the Thunderbolt trap can deal 1000 damage to a monster intending to attack the life core, and that Unstoppable Motorbike had exactly 1000 hp!
"I'll tell you some bad news but to bad that I don't have time to explain!" Yukiko grinned showing teeth
Then the bike rammed straight into the life core, making Lisa's LP drop nonstop
LP 4000 > 1500
Then Unstoppable Motorbike released a stream of black smoke covering Lisa's entire field
From this point, everyone except Yukiko's underlings noticed one thing
It seemed Yukiko didn't give orders and this monster mostly acted on its own?
After all summoned monsters have low intelligence, you have to order them to act unless related to its own Passive
"Out of control... I see, she took a real risk"
"Huh? You know something Igor?" Alvin asked
"That's the Passive of that monster, allowing that monster to act freely according to its instincts, it makes that monster immune to trap cards too"
"What?! Immune to trap cards?!"
Immunity is the best ability a monster should have, and it's even trap cards? No different from a 6-tusked elephant, with dragon wings, cannons on its feet and the ability to destroy an entire continent! (Igor: you're exaggerating way too much)
"Well, in exchange it can't be ordered by its master, so plans that need the monster's obedience definitely don't have it"
"...Thinking about it now it doesn't sound very stable"
"Yeah, telling it to dodge and it refuses to dodge, then dies right in the turn it came out isn't rare"
Adding a few facts to avoid confusion later, there are 2 types of out of control, 1 is intentional type, 2 is completely out of control type
If it's the intentional out of control type due to Passive then it can still be controlled, sounds a bit confusing but remember Passive is part of that monster's power so if you want to return it to card you still can (or use spell cards)
Its special characteristic is the ability to act independently and loyalty remains intact (unless the opponent uses some spell card)
But if it's the out of control type not due to Passive or any card affecting it then that's the problem
Because then, the monster completely doesn't care about enemy or ally, ready to fight to the death, you also can't return it to card unless you defeat it
Juris, the Sage of this world also has one, and it's also his signature monster
Heard that he got that card by slamming his hand into the ground then pulling it out from nothingness like Kaiba summoning Obelisk, this world is also crazy like Yugioh with unmatched cheat abilities thanks to
"Kuh! You look down on me that much?! Agile Squirrel, use 'charge' skill on zip zap bird!"
The squirrel immediately shot electricity onto zip zap bird, charging it with the amount of electricity it just produced making its stats change drastically (specifically ×2)
Atk: 50 > 100
Hp: 300 > 600
...Actually the increase wasn't that strong since the opponent has up to 2500 atk, but it was enough
"Then I activate the spell card!" Lisa said
The spell card appear, revealing a support spell card named "Legacy Inheritance"
"Legacy Inheritance, allows me to tribute my only monster on the field to summon a monster under lv 5 from the deck, and I summon White Prince!"
Immediately, Zip zap bird shattered like glass then reassembled into a young man wearing a eye mask with feather, pure white royal clothes and white hair
White Prince (lv 5)
Type: Normal
Atk: 1000
Hp: 1000
Race: Human
...the first human monster I've seen, a bit surprised
"And Legacy Inheritance isn't just that, it allows inheriting everything the tributed monster had to pass to the current monster"
Atk: 1000 > 2000
Hp: 1000 > 2000
Equip: Free Feet
Stats very balanced, might be able to defeat Unstoppable Motorbike if knowing how to order
"White Prince, just protect the life core until the end of the turn!"
White Prince drew his rapier, looking at the Unstoppable Motorbike in front
With a hot-tempered personality that doesn't listen to its master like Unstoppable Motorbike being stared at was no different from provocation, so it charged as if just fully fueled
"Defend!"
Clang!
The impact sound rang out making Unstoppable Motorbike step back, it looked confused at White Prince still fine despite just being rammed
"She also knows how to parry?" Alvin opened his eyes wide
Almost anyone who knows Parry are those with certain experience in dueling, and she just perfectly parried an attack charging at high velocity
As expected even being a problem student doesn't change her real combat ability
Especially the person beside him, Igor (what did I even do that you're glazing me like this?)
So the battle continued with White Prince continuously parrying Unstoppable Motorbike until turn 2 ended
At that time both Lisa and Yukiko thought
'damn, this bitch is annoying but really strong!'
