Before Melissa could react, the boy said "You have one more phase, to special summon monsters, or to place any more spell or trap cards down." She shook her head, and replied "I'm good."

He laughed, saying "Very well. Then I draw my card. Next," he looked at his hand, "I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior in attack Position! And, because I summoned him, he gains a spell counter." A small circle appeared above Breaker, with the spell symbol above it. "With his Spell Counter, he gains 300 attack power. However, I am going to activate Breaker the Magical Warrior's last effect, allowing me to remove the counter," the counter vanishes from above Breaker's head, "and because I removed his counter, I can now destroy one of those face down spell or trap cards! I choose the one in on your right!" Melissa looked shocked, but removed the card from the field. As she did, it appeared on the field, vertically. "Ah, the Call of the Haunted. Glad I got rid of that card!" Melissa placed that card in her Graveyard, calling "Are you going to finish your turn or what?"

"Or what. Next, I set one more spell or trap card, right here. Then, I attack your Phantom King Hydride with Breaker the Magical Warrior!" Melissa shouted "Wait! I activate this trap card, Magician's Circle!" She flipped the card face-up, and then called "We each get to summon a monster with 2000 or less attack from our decks! I summon a Dark Magician Girl!" as she flipped through her deck for another Dark Magician Girl, he called "Smart move! I summon Silent Magician LV 4!" They each placed their card onto the field. "Very well, I will play Village of the Spellcasters, a Spell Field card. Field cards stay in play until removed by another card effect, and they don't take up room in my Spell or Trap card area! This makes it so that only people with Spellcaster monsters in play can play spell cards. Next, I play Emblem of Dragon Destroyer!" He started rummaging through his deck, and as he did he explained what the card does. "You see, Emblem of Dragon Destroyer allows me to search my deck for a Buster Blader. Pretty nice, huh? Now, I attack your Life Points directly!

"Anyway, with that, I end my turn." Melissa sighed, drawing a card. It was Magical Dimension. "All right! Well, I suppose I will go ahead and play this card. I summon Exodia the Forbidden one! Well, his head at least." She gave a small laugh as she played it. "Next, I play this card, Magical Dimension! I don't know what the new card of yours does, but I don't trust it. So, I sacrifice my Exodia head to summon Dark Magician Girl!" She slapped down the card, and Dark Magician Girl appeared. "Wow, Dark Magician Girl…" breathed the boy. Melissa shook her head. "There is one more thing, although I am sure you know what it is. I can now destroy one monster on the field! That means, say good-bye to your Silent Magician!"

He removed the card from the field, and then said "Another smart move. Of course, I am not playing with my real deck, so this isn't much of a challenge, but if you train, you could become a very strong duelist!" Melissa shook her head, and said "I just want to get through this duel first. Now, Dark Magician Girl, destroy Breaker the Magical Warrior!" Dark Magician Girl released her attack, and shattered his Breaker the Magical Warrior. "That is for destroying Phantom King Hydride."

Melissa looked at the Life Points. She had lost 1600 Life Points. "Wait, how have I lost so many Life Points? Your Silent Magician didn't have-"

"My Silent Magician's effect increased its attack by 500 for every spell counter it had on it, and for every spell card played, it gained a spell counter. That is how you lost so many Life Points." She looked at his Life Points and said, grinning, "You aren't doing much better, though." He only had lost 500 Life Points, but maybe he wouldn't notice that.
