It was about two days after Sho's victory against Jun…
"How can this be…? I lost… to that shrimp…" Jun muttered as he sat by the docks, "Then I might as well get out of here before anybody makes fun of me again… for losing against an Osiris Red," Jun said with a sigh.
The boat back to Domino City appeared, and Jun stepped on it, leaving…
It was in the meeting room then… Principal Samejima sat on the chancellor's seat.
"Well the annual School Duel is coming aboard, this year we're against North Academy," Principal Samejima said with a smile as he turned to his right, standing there was Marufuji Ryo.
"Ryo-kun, I thought you'd do the honors this year like every year and you duel against North Academy's representative," Principal Samejima said with a grin.
"No," Ryo said which gave everybody at the meeting a shocking look. "Not this year, I thought I'd step back this year and watch somebody duel the school's representative. I've already faced North Academy once," he added.
Principal Samejima blinked a couple times then nodded, "I'll respect your choice, but then who do you reckon should take this year's duel?" he asked Ryo who simply answered, "Yuki Judai."
The two had dueled before; therefore, Ryo knew Judai's skills.
Principal Samejima nodded but Cronos De Mediz quickly objected to have the Osiris Red take the duel, "But I think Tendou Souji should take this duel… I mean it's an Osiris Red or an Obelisk Blue…" Cronos De Mediz explained with a smile.
Principal Samejima blinked a couple times, "However, Tendou Souji said that he wanted to de-rank himself into the Osiris Red stage… but okay, we'll let Tendou Souji and Yuki Judai duel each other and the winner will duel for the Annual School Duel," Samejima said with a smile.
What?!? Tendou Souji wants to de-rank himself?! Cronos De Mediz thought with horror, Oh my god…
Class was held soon after and it was nearly the end of class "Alright class," Cronos De Mediz started which caught everybody's attention. "The Annual School Duel will be taking place soon; there are two possibilities to who will take this duel. Yuki Judai and Tendou Souji. These two duelists will duel tomorrow and the winner will represent Duel Academy for the duel," Cronos explained.
Tendou Souji was wearing a red blazer this time as he was ordered to sit beside Saotome Rei who seemed to have been blushing all class.
Tendou looked down at Judai and smiled, he had won once… but this time he had a new deck… so this might be interesting.
It was just a couple days ago, when he was called to the Principle's office. Pegasus J. Crawford had given him some new cards, cards based off the E-Heroes.
"Good luck, Judai," Tendou said with a smile as Judai gave him the 'Gotcha' look.
Then it happened. The day passed quickly and Judai and Tendou were already on the field.
"Alright, may the best duelist win," Tendou said with a smile.
"Duel!" the two said as their life point counter rose up to 8000
Judai: 8000 Tendou: 8000
"I'll go first," Judai started, "Draw!"
He took a couple seconds to look at his hand, "I'll summon Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode! Turn end," he said with a smile.
Judai's Field:
1x Elemental Hero Sparkman
5x CIH
"My turn, draw!" Tendou yelled across the field then smiled, "Get a load of this, my new deck, come forth, the new series of heroes. The U-Heroes, the Universal Heroes!" he said as the first monster of the series appeared on the field, "U-Hero – Mercury!" Tendou said.
The blue planet appeared on the field with 1000 attack points.
"Now his effect activates, I can send one of my U-Heroes from my deck to the graveyard, U-Hero Earth!" Tendou explained then sent the U-hero to the graveyard.
"I'll now activate the spell card S-Shining Heat! This card lets me special summon a U-Hero in my graveyard. I chose U-Hero Earth! Now for his special ability, I can destroy 1 face-up card on the field, I chose Sparkman!" Tendou said as U-Hero Earth used his ability, it had 1500 attack points.
"Now, let's go! U-Hero Mercury, U-Hero Earth, direct attack!" Tendou said as the two monsters struck Judai directly.
Judai: 7000 Tendou: 8000
Judai: 5500 Tendou: 8000
"I'll throw two face-downs and end my turn," Tendou completed with a smile.
Tendou's Field:
1x U-Hero Mercury
1x U-Hero Earth
2x f/d s/t
2x CIH
If this keeps up… I'll lose Judai thought as he shook his head, "Sweet new monsters," he complimented feeling a little jumpy already. "This duel is awesome, but the best part is that it's my turn now," he said with a smile
"My turn, draw!" he said as he drew a card from his hand then smiled. "I activate the spell card Fusion, I'll fuse together Elemental Hero Featherman and Elemental Hero Burst Lady for Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" he said as the 2100 attack point monster appeared on the field.
"Now I'll attack U-Hero Mercury!" Judai said as his monster hit the 1000 attack point monster.
Judai: 5500 Tendou: 6900
"Now my Flame Wingman's special ability activates! You lose life points equal to the amount of attack points of your monster!" Judai explained as Flame Wingman burned 1000 more life points from Tendou.
Judai: 5500 Tendou: 5900
"I'll end my turn there," Judai said with a smile.
Judai's Field:
1x Flame Wingman
3x CIH
"My turn, draw!" Tendou said drawing a card to make his hand 3. "I summon U-Hero Mars in attack mode! When this monster is face-up on the field, all my monsters can attack you directly as soon as long as I discard a card per direct attack when you have monsters on the field," Tendou explained with a smile. Mars had 1000 attack points.
"I'll now discard U-Hero Venus so that Mars can attack you directly!" Tendou said as Mars knocked 1200 life points out of Judai.
Judai: 4500 Tendou: 5900
"Now I'll activate Venus' special ability, when it's sent to the graveyard from my hand due to a monster effect, I can use an effect of any card, once per turn, without having to pay the cost, now Mercury, direct attack!" Tendou said with a smile.
Judai: 3500 Tendou: 5900
"Turn end," Tendou finished with a smile, he had a nice lead.
Tendou's field:
1x U-Hero Mercury
1x U-Hero Mars
2x f/d s/t
1x CIH
"My turn, draw!" Judai said as he drew a card… just what he needed, "I'll activate the spell card Future Fusion! I'll send Featherman, Burst Lady, Bubbleman and Clayman to my graveyard so I can fusion summon Elemental Hero Elixier on my second standby phase," Judai explained with a smile.
"Now I activate the spell card Fifth Hope! I'll send Sparkman, Featherman, Burst Lady, Bubbleman, and Clayman back to my deck; shuffle then I draw two cards!" Judai said as he did his steps.
"Now with 2 new cards in my hand to make my hand 4, I activate the spell card, Polymerization, I'll fuse Wildman and Necroshade together to fusion summon Elemental Hero Necroid Shaman, this monster will allow me to destroy your U-Hero Mars, however I'll have to make a replacement for it… I'll special summon U-Hero Earth in defense mode!" Judai said with a smile.
U-Hero Mars obliterated itself as Earth replaced it with 0 defense points.
"Now I activate Necroshade's effect, once per duel, I can normal summon an Elemental Hero without tribute, like so, Edgeman come onto the field!" Judai said with a smile.
"Now Edgeman has his own special ability, if it attacks a defense position monster, the difference between its attack points and your monster's defense points will be dealt directly at you! Edgeman attack Earth… er… U-Hero Earth," Judai corrected himself since it had sounded kind of awkward.
Edgeman destroyed Earth as it did 2600 points of damage to Tendou.
Judai: 3500 Tendou: 3300
"Flame Wingman, attack Mercury!" he said with a smile as 1100 points of damage was deal to Tendou and another 1000 points of damage was dealt due to the special ability of Flame Wingman.
Judai: 3500 Tendou: 1200
"Now for game, go! Necroid Shaman! Direct attack!" Judai called out as 1900 points of damage was dealt to Tendou.
However… after the smoke was gone and Tendou was showed, Tendou smiled with 250 life points left.
"What…?" Judai asked confused.
"Let me explain, I activated my continuous trap card, I can half the damage of a direct attack… thus that only means you dealt 950 life points to me," Tendou said with a smile, "You weren't expecting me to go down that easily.. were you?" Tendou asked with a chuckle.
To be continued…
