Abandoning her old home, Yura now must compete for a chance to enter a grand dueling school. Then one day, as she prepares for a matchup, Yura encounters a familiar named Aru in her bag. What does this mean for Yura?

Chapter 10: Kenji's reign of destruction

Kenji was able to perform two different kinds of summon: Future and Synchro summoning. Now Yura finds herself in a tough bind.

Kenji: "I activate Darkstar Cosmos's special ability! By lowering its attack points by 1000, it can destroy a monster on your field (2600atk-1600atk)! Go Darkstar Charge!

Rays of black lightning surround Yura's hEARTH Caspian and destroys it.

Yura: "Oh no..!"

Kenji: "Now you have no monsters on your field! Go Darkstar Cosmos, attack her directly!"

Yura: 4000lp-2400lp

Kenji: "Now go Darkstar Chimera (2800atk), finish her."

Yura: "Wait...I lost already..?"

Yura: 2400lp-0lp

Kenji wins.

Announcer: "And that's it! The match is over! Kenji Rouko has defeated Yura Minako!"

Shizuka: "Yura lost?"

Yura smiles, picking herself up.

Yura: "Ah, oh well. This is a good start!"

Kenji: "Hmph." He turns around and heads towards the exit.

Yura: "Hey wait!"

Kenji: "What is it?"

Yura: "That was a great duel! We should do it again and I'll win next time!"

Kenji: "...We'll see..." He exits the stadium. Yura leaves also with a smile on her face. Shizuka meets her at the entrance.

Shizuka: "Hey are you okay?"

Yura: "I'm fine. This is great!"

Shizuka: "Yeah but how is that great? You lost..."

Yura: "If I'm gonna prove myself to everyone, I have to start at the lowest point and beat everyone that thinks otherwise right?"

Shizuka: "Haha, you really are weird Yura."

Announcer: "The final score of the match between Kenji and Yura. Kenji wins the duel with 44 points! That means he's in fifth place currently. Yura finishes with 16 points which means she's in 76th."

Yura: "It doesn't matter what place I fall into, I'll show them all that girls are just as capable."

Later it was Shizuka's turn.

Announcer: "Next is the 58th match, Shizuka Yanagi vs Nasai Arata! Let's go ahead and get this match started! Duelists, if you would."

Shizuka & Nasai: "Let's duel!

Both: 4000lp

Nasai: "I'll go first. I summon Satellarknight Deneb (LIGHT/Warrior/Lv.4/1500atk/1000def). I activate Satellarknight's effect. Whenever it's summoned, I can add 1 "Satellarknight" monster from my deck to my hand. I add Satellarknight Vega to my hand. I set 2 cards and end my turn. (Cards: 3) (Points: 4)

Shizuka: "I draw! I'll start by summoning Prominent Soldier (Lv.4/1900atk). Go Prominent Soldier, attack her Satellarknight Deneb!"

Nasai: 4000lp-3600lp

Shizuka: "I set 3 cards and end my turn."

Nasai: "Alright, I draw! First I'll activate the continous trap card, Celestial Aura! Once a turn, I can special summon a "Satellarknight" monster from my hand."

Shizuka: "A trap that lets you special summon..."

Nasai: "I special summon Satellarknight Vega (Lv.4/1200atk/1600def). I activate Vega's effect. She allows me to special summon a "Satellarknight" monster from my hand. I special summon Satellarknight Altair (Lv.4/1700atk/1300def)! Now I activate Altair's special ability! Whenever it's summoned, I can special summon a "Satellarknight" monster from my graveyard! So now I special summon Satellarknight Deneb! And you remember Deneb's effect right? It lets me add a "Satellarknight" monster from my deck to my hand. I add Satellarknight Altair."

Shizuka: "Is this what they call 'Looping'?"

Nasai: "I overlay my level four Satellarknight Vega, Altair, and Deneb!"

Shizuka: "All 3?!"

Nasai: "With these 3 monsters, I build the overlay network! XYZ Summon! The stars in the sky shall give a new birth to a new kind of star. Appear, Satellarknight Delteros (Rnk.4/LIGHT/Warrior/2500atk/2100def)!" Stars clustered together making an entrance for Delteros. The crowd is amazed at the beauty of stars as they cheered. "I activate Delteros's special ability! Once per turn, by using an overlay unit, I can destroy one card on the field!"

Shizuka: "Destroy..?"

Nasai: "That's right! Destroy her Prominent Soldier!" Delteros flies towards Prominent Soldier and slashes it, destroying it. "Sorry but it's only gonna get even worse. Because not I activate the equip spell card Satellarknight Factor! With this, it boosts my Delteros's attack by 500! (2500atk-3000atk) Also it becomes unaffected by all other cards! So other spells and traps won't work on him."

Shizuka: "This is bad..!"

Nasai: "Now go Satellarknight Delteros! Attack her directly!"

Shizuka: "Aaahhh!" (4000lp-1000lp)

Nasai: "And with that, I end my turn."

Shizuka shakes off the damage she took. She draws a card.

Nasai: "Before you continue, let me tell you something to think about."

Shizuka: "Hm?"

Nasai: "You see, Delteros has another special ability. If he's destroyed by any means, I can special summon a "Satellarknight" monster from my deck or graveyard." He reveals Satellarknight Alsahm that's in his hand. "I have another copy of this card in my deck. If this card is summoned, you take 1000 points of damage."

Shizuka: "What?!"

Nasai: "That's right. So even if you destroy my Delteros, you'll lose. What will you do?"

Shizuka: "[He's right...What will I do? His Delteros is immune to any other spells or traps, so I have to destroy it by battle.]"

Yura: "Shizuka!"

Shizuka listens to Yura.

Yura: "Don't give into his words! I know you can pull through and win this!"

Shizuka: "Yura has a point. I might not be able to win this, but I have to at least try..."

Nasai: "Well? Will you continue?"

Shizuka: "I summon Prominent Jester (Lv.2/500atk/1000def)! I banish from my field, my level 2 Prominent Jester, and from my graveyard, my level 4 Prominent Soldier! By allowing this monster to stay on the field for 6 turns, Future Summon! I'm counting on you, Prominent Esper (Lv.6/2700atk/2000def)!

Nasai: "While I applaud you were able to Future summon, your monster only has 2700 attack points. It's not strong enough to take down my monster."

Shizuka: "Yeah until I activate it's effect!"

Nasai: "What's that?"

Shizuka: "Prominent Esper's attack points increase by 100 times it's level."

Nasai: "So that means it has 3300 attack points?"

Shizuka: "No. I now activate the spell card One final attack. I can double the amount of attack points of one monster I control. But if I do...My life points hit 0 at the end of the turn. But for now, Esper's attack is now 6600!"

Nasai: "6600-3000 would equal 3600. Wait a minute, that's how many life points I have! No..! If I knew it'd be enough to finish me, I would have activated my Celestial Factor trap to tribute my Delteros and negate the spell card. Then Delteros's effect could've activate to let me summon Alsahm and win...How could I have let that happen?!"

Shizuka: "This is the end! Go Prominent Esper, destroy his Satellarknight Delteros!"

Nasai: "Ah...AAAAHHHH!" (3600lp-0lp)

Shizuka Yanagi wins.

Nasai: "I can't believe it...How could I have been so stupid..!"

Points: Shizuka: 30/Nasai: 31

Announcer: "Despite winning, Shizuka Yanagi was unable to use a lot of spells or traps. Neither was she able to summon as much as Nasai did. Because of that, Shizuka's current rank is 51st while Nasai is ranked 49th. Nonetheless, a great duel between these two! We will continue the Ranking Round as scheduled..."

Shizuka meets with Yura at the stadium entrance.

Yura: "That was great! I'm so proud of you!"

Shizuka: "Thanks. But YOU still have work to do. So since we're both finished, how about a quick duel outside?"

Yura: "Heheh, you're on!"

They both happily run out of the stadium...
