A New Dueling Harmony
Here we go guys, after a small absence, it's time to hit back the road with a chapter that will introduce the most infamous cheesiest and funniest character of the series: Ibuki Mioda.
Rock N Roll
It's been two whole weeks since Hajime has met Chiaki and that the two usually meet up at the Dynamite Games club, not only in order to play some games together (Hajime usually lose to Chiaki but he admit that he was always enjoying playing with the Ultimate Gamer) but also, to train at Duel Monsters to which Hajime manage to become much more tougher than he was before as Chiaki taught him numerous strategies that allowed him to go toe in toe to the Ultimate Gamer.
One night, the Ultimate Gamer had invited Hajime to the club or another session of games and Duel Monsters to which he accepted, when she waited for him, she started to get worried as he was a bit late but eventually, she heard a severe screeching coming from a car's tire and she saw Hajime running towards her as he eventually stopped in front of her as he was exhausted.
"Hey there Hajime!" greeted the Ultimate Gamer.
"Hey! Sorry I'm late" apologized the young man who started to regain his breath "I was eating at my parent's house that I didn't notice the time and therefore, I had to run as fast as I can".
"It's all right, what truly matters is that you managed to come in here" reassured Chiaki "let's get inside so that we can start our training today".
"Okay" replied Hajime as he and the Ultimate Gamer entered the club so that they could join their special room where they will duel as they usually do.
Ever since they dueled each other and that Chiaki has agreed to train Hajime in Duel Monsters, the owner of the club has allowed them to have a special room so that they could train each other every day without bothering the rest of the customers who wants to play video games.
But when they were about to enter in their room, the young man decides to tell Chiaki about a urgency that needs to be ejected.
"Uh…Chiaki, before we begin, I need to go to the bathroom".
"Don't worry Hajime, you can go, I'll wait at the door" says the Ultimate Gamer as Hajime entered the bathroom (who was thankfully close to their special room) so that he could take a piss.
But while she was waiting at the door, Chiaki noticed a large group of people who were gathering around someone who seems to be playing an electric guitar, curious, she decided to join the group in order to see what was keeping their attention, at the same time, Hajime just leaved the bathroom and he expected to see the Ultimate Gamer waiting for him only to see that she was gone, while looking around the room, he saw that Chiaki went to the Rhythm Games section and he decided to go there in order to rejoin the Ultimate Gamer.
When he caught up with her, Hajime noticed that the crowd were looking at a short-to-average girl who was playing her guitar with lames coming out of the top, the girl possessed a mid-thigh length, sharp, jet-black hair with multiple white streaks and two blue streaks on either side of her head, her bangs consist of two layers, streaked with pink and blue, sharply swept to the left, an interesting part of her hair is that it is twisted into oni-type horns which surprised Hajime as he wondered how she could keep her hair like that, also, the young girl was wearing a white short-sleeved seifuku uniform with a black sailor collar, with two thick stripes at the sleeves and a single thin stripe at the hem along with a black pleated skirt with a pink ascot tied at her neck. Two white stripes are printed at the edge of her sailor collar while her legwear consists of ripped thigh-high socks, her right sock being pink and the left being blue, with flat white sneakers that have blue laces on the right and pink laces on the left.
The young girl was playing her guitar while shouting like if she was playing a metal song in front of metal lovers, eventually, she let out a large gust of fire strolling from her guitar like if she was using a flamethrower with one of the flames almost hit the Ultimate Gamer who backed it up with a yelp which worries Hajime.
"Are you alright Chiaki?" asked the young man.
"Yeah, I'm alright, I was just got caught by surprise that's all" reassured Chiaki who smiled at Hajime to ease his worries.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ibuki didn't mean to spook you, Chiaki-Chan, are you alright?" asked the girl who came down to check on Chiaki.
"I'm all right, thank you Ibuki" reassured the Ultimate Gamer.
"You two know each other?" asked Hajime.
"Well, yes, I do know her" says Chiaki to which the girl decided to introduce herself.
"'I' 'Bu' 'Ki' 'Mio' 'Da!' put it together and what do you get? Ibuki Mioda! The Ultimate Musician!" chipped Ibuki as she jumped in joy over meeting Hajime "yeah, that's right, Ibuki was reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy enjoying herself there that she has forgot that they were a huge crowd applauding her".
The crowd cheered at the Ultimate Musician sentence to which it amuses Hajime who watched it with a smile.
"Your friend sure is something Chiaki" commented Hajime.
"Yeah!" admitted Chiaki but suddenly, they hear someone calling Ibuki's name.
"Yay Ibuki, that was great" chipped a petite twin-tailed blonde girl wearing a orange kimono who approached Ibuki in order to praise her but she stopped midway when she saw Hajime as her face drops into a look of carefulness "and who is that wuss?"
"Hiyoko!" berate Chiaki as she wasn't happy that Hiyoko Saionji, the Ultimate Traditional Dancer, was insulting her friend "don't call people wuss, it's a bad habit!"
"But he is a wuss, he is dressed like a wuss, he is standing like a wuss, he is smelling like a wuss, everything that he has is showing him as a wuss" criticized the petite girl which leave Hajime speechless, he never thought that someone who could like a kid could be so mean towards him.
"Who is she?" asked the young man.
"She is Hiyoko Saionji, the Ultimate Traditional Dancer" introduce the Ultimate Gamer to which her description surprise Hajime as he never excepted her to be an Ultimate.
"S-s-she is the Ultimate Traditional Dancer?" asked Hajime to which Chiaki confirms by nodding her head "she looks like more of a pre-school kid".
"Pre-school kid?" asked Hiyoko as she looked shocked o Hajime sentence, for a few seconds, it looked like that the sentence had created a awkward silence in the room but suddenly…
"WAAAAAAAAH!"
Hiyoko starts crying in the middle of the room much to Hajime's confusion as he wondered why she started to cry, suddenly, a young redheaded girl arrived at the small girl to comfort her, she was dressed in a white uniform dress shirt with short sleeves and a chest pocket and with a red-and-white plaid tie at her collar. On top of this, she wears an olive green school jumper with a pleated skirt while her legwear consists of a darker olive knee-high socks with lighter colored lines running around the cuff, with olive-black flat sneakers with white laces and soles.
"What's wrong Hiyoko?" she asked with a very polite voice just like a mother asking her child.
"T-t-t-that guy, hic, he said that I looked like a pre-school kid, hic, he disrespected me!" hiccupped the Ultimate Traditional Dancer as she hugged the young girl, after hugging her friend long enough, the redheaded girl turns her attention towards Hajime as he watched with surprise the fact that the young girl was glaring daggers at him.
"You, aren't you ashamed of what you've done? Bullying a person that you don't know? Is your parents have raised you to be so unlikable?"
"What the?" asked Hajime as he didn't understand why the young girl was calling him out but what really impressed him is the fact that she was yelling at him like if he was yelled at by his mom.
"Geez, boys always love to pick on people that they see as inferior to them, why they can't just be like everyone else?" sadly said the young girl to herself.
"It's alright Mahiru, I don't think that Hajime was picking on Hiyoko, he didn't know that calling her a pre-school kid would have hurt her" reassured hiaki.
"Mahiru?" asked Hajime.
"Yeah, Mahiru Koizumi, she is the Ultimate Photographer" introduce Chiaki to Mahiru to which Hajime noted to himself that it was easy to see that Mahiru was the Ultimate Photographer since she was holding a camera on her neck, a Canon model to be precise.
"I see, I'm sorry that I have upset your friend Mahiru, I am Hajime, Hajime Hinata" Hajime introduced himself to Mahiru who starts to relax at his presence.
"Well, outside of what happened, you look like decent enough Hajime but I am warning you, if I see you bullying Hiyoko one more time, I'm gonna be mad, you get that?" said Mahiru as her sentence made Hajime gulped a bit, she sure know how to make herself present.
"Y-y-yes ma'am" awkwardly said Hajime as Mahiru backed off to leave him some space between her and him but suddenly, Ibuki noticed that Hajime was carrying a Duel Disk on his arm.
"Oh? Are you a duelist Hajime?" asked Ibuki to which her sentence surprise Hajime as he didn't expect that question after the berating that he was victim for.
"Well, yes, I'm just beginning to learn about the game but I'm regularly training with Chiaki" explained the young boy.
"Okey Dokey, then get ready Hajime because it's time to d-d-d-d-d-duel!" said Ibuki as she moved her arm in order to reveal her Duel Disk to everyone.
"Wait, you're a duelist?" asked Hajime.
"Ibuki is one and she wants to play like a sick cute little puppy and since you're a duelist, that means we could have a lot of fun, YAHOOOOO!" cheered Ibuki as she was vibrating with energy as the prospect of facing another duelist, Hajime, worried, decided to turn his gaze at the Ultimate Gamer who smiled at him to reassure him.
"It could be interesting, that duel will allow you to test what I taught you against another opponent, you'll finally see if your training has paid off" reassured the Ultimate Gamer to which her sentence gave Hajime a smile as he think that if Chiaki allowed him to duel, that means that she trust him to duel Ibuki even though he thought that even after all his training, his skills might not be the greatest but at least, he could give it a shot.
"All right Ibuki, I accept your challenge!"
"YAHOOOOOOO!" Ibuki screamed in joy "then let's play Hajime like puppies"
The two prepared themselves to draw their cards as they were now ready to duel.
IT'S TIME TO DUEL!
Hajime vs Ibuki
(BGM : Guilty Love – Apollo Justice Ace Attorney)
"Since Ibuki is the challenge, she'll go first" state Ibuki as she drew her sit hard "Ibuki put one facedown card and she ends her turn".
A hologram of a card appeared on Ibuki's side of the field which surprise Hajime.
"So soon? She must have something that she has planned sine she can't just play one facedown card and end her turn like that, I should better play defensibly for now" thought Hajime as he begin to begin his turn "I summon a facedown monster in Defense mode".
A hologram of a card appeared on Hajime monster field.
"I end my turn" said Hajime as Chiaki looked at him with a smile, he made a good move, Ibuki probably played that facedown card in order to attract him in a trap as her facedown could have been a trap card that could destroy a monster if it attacks.
"Ohhhhhh" Ibuki said before she starts to let out a quiet laugh "how bold of you Hajime, to think that Ibuki has a trap card that could have destroyed your monster but…. Ibuki is planning something BETTER".
"Oh? Is that so?" awkwardly asked Hajime as he did note that despite her appearance, Ibuki is a very lively girl who is always full of surprises.
"Yup and Ibuki plans to do a little magic trick as she activate Polymerization" Ibuki state as she activate her Spell card "she put Black Witch of the Black Forest with a Lady of Faith and voila, she summons the mighty, ultra, extraordinaire Guitar Hero!"
The fusion starts and two monsters, a lady wearing a black robe and sporting a third eye and another lady wearing a blue dress and a magician crown on her head use together in the void created by Polymerization and a new monster came out of it, a pretty topless young rebel who carried a guitar with him.
(BGM ends)
"Seriously?" sighed an exasperated Hiyoko while Mahiru took a picture of Ibuki's new monster "even I who doesn't play that childish game knows that his true name is King Musician not Guitar Hero, where did she come out with this stuff?"
"Well, that's Ibuki whatever we like it or not" said Chiaki as she let out a little giggle as she was amused of her friend antics.
Meanwhile, on the field, Hajime starts to process Ibuki monster but he noticed that its attack points doesn't seems to be too much of a threat to him (A:1750/1500).
"Well, she did manage to make a fusion but thankfully, her monster's attack points doesn't surpass my Giant Soldier of Stone Defense points" thought Hajime as he looked at his facedown card who was Giant Soldier of Stone (A:1300/2000) "So when she will attack me, my monster will repel her attack".
"And net, Ibuki activate one of her favorite cards: Metalmorph!" the trap card that she has placed on her field activate showing a suit of armor who starts to envelop King Musician as he transform changing him and granting him a black leather suit with spikes appearing on his shoulders "this gives Ibuki's Guitar Hero 300 attack points and transform him into Heavy Guitar Hero!"
Heavy King Musician begins to play a solo as his attack points rose (A: 1750-2050).
"Damn, it can be best Giant Soldier of Stone defenses!" silently cursed Hajime as he was now open for an attack.
"Now, in addition of the attack power boots, Ibuki's Heavy Guitar Hero gains half the attack power of its victim when it attacks" explained Ibuki as she prepared to send a attack "now, Heavy Guitar Hero, play Hangar 18 on Expert Mode, nothing can survive that attack, YAHOOOOOO!"
(BGM : Hangar 18 – Megadeath)
Heavy King Musician starts to play a powerful guitar riff that allowed it to summon a sonicwave attack that allowed it to increase its attack points (A:2050-2700) and destroy Giant Soldier of Stone although Ibuki didn't make any damages to Hajime's lie points.
(BGM ends)
(BGM: Guilty Love – Apollo Justice Ace Attorney)
"Your turn Hajime" said Ibuki with a smile.
Hajime draws his new card and he looked at Ibuki's Heavy King Musician, there was something that bothers him about Metalmorph effect.
"So far, Ibuki has the advantage, she has a powerful monster that is powered up by her trap card but Metalmorph, Chiaki told me something about that card that can be exploited" thought Hajime as he prepared his next move "Alright, I'm ready Ibuki, since you've made a fusion, I should follow suit by activating my own Polymerization".
The young man activate his Spell card, creating a void while he adds two monsters in it, a wolf that is cloaked in mechanical parts and The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion.
"I'll fuse Giga Tech Wolf and The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion who can be used as a substitute in case I want to fusion summon a Dark monster, in order to summon Labyrinth Tank" said Hajime as the two monster used together in order to create a dark blue tank with red drills coming from it in Attack Mode (A:2400/D:2400)
"Oh? Did you planned to give your tank to Ibuki? That so nice coming from you Hajime, although I think I would have preferred a black or pink one" teased the Ultimate Musician.
"Well, I don't know about your tastes Ibuki but there is one thing that I am certain, is that I planned to launch an attack on Heavy King Musician right now, now go Labyrinth Tank, destroy Heavy King Musician with your dark drills!" ordered the young man as the tank rushed towards Ibuki's Heavy King Musician much to the surprise and shock of the audience.
"Wait, what is he doing? That idiot would only succeed in destroying his Labyrinth Tank" criticized Hiyoko as she was shocked of Hajime course of action but Chiaki was confident and watched the duel with interest while Mahiru took a picture of the duel.
Labyrinth Tank charged towards Heavy King Musician as he prepared to counter the tank's attack but suddenly, it got impaled on his drills to which the tank rotate its drill so much that the monster disappeared much to Ibuki's and the audience confusion.
(BGM ends)
"OBJECTION!" said Ibuki as she points her finger a la Phoenix Wright towards Hajime "how come Guitar Hero was defeated? It should have gained attack points through the half of Labyrinth Tank".
"It is the effect of Metalmorph Ibuki" reat the Ultimate Gamer "Metalmorph only increase the attack of your monster when it attacks not when it is attached, therefore, Labyrinth Tank was much more powerful that Heavy King Musician".
"Oh?" created Ibuki as she noticed that her life points has felled down since Heavy King Musician attack points didn't increase when Labyrinth Tank attacked it therefore she lost 350 life points (Ibuki: 3750), she then starts to sheephely laughed at her misfortune "Ibuki always forgot that last part".
"It's okay Ibuki, we all make mistakes, I did my own share of mistakes when I started to duel" reassured Hajime before he decided to end his turn "I end my turn, it's your turn Ibuki".
"Don't mind if I dooooooooooooo!" Ibuki sing-said as she drew her next card "Ibuki put a facedown card in Defense Mode and she put a facedown card and she ends her turn".
Two holograms appeared on Ibuki's field while Hajime draw his next card.
"Well, I don't know what Ibuki is planning but whatever it is, I must not take this lightly" thought the young man as he decide to set his next move "I put a facedown card and now, I send my Labyrinth Tank in battle, go!"
Labyrinth Tank charged towards Ibuki's facedown monster but she suddenly jumped in joy just like if something caught her attention.
"Not gonna work, it's not gonna work, what time is it?" said the Ultimate Musician as she cheeks her wrist where there is no watch but she then raised her head after this "it's not gonna work o clock because Ibuki has a trap card!"
Ibuki activate her trap card who is it none other than Castle Walls.
"And what does it do?" asked the young man.
"That trap card allowed Ibuki monsters to gain a Defense boost of 500 points" Ibuki explained as Labyrinth Tank charged towards the Ultimate Musician but a snake appeared out of the facedown card and managed to repel the attack because of the Defense boost(A:100/D:2000-2500) causing some damages to Hajime life points (Hajime: 3900) which cause Ibuki to laugh it out "AHAHAHA! I can't believe that you fell for it, Ibuki was certain she was going to take lie point damage!"
Hajime groaned but he admitted that Ibuki had played him there.
"That was a good move Ibuki, I'll give you that, my turn's over" said Hajime.
"All righty then, time for Ibuki to finish what she started" Ibuki said as she drew the top card off of her deck "Ibuki's gonna put away her snake or something that's gonna blow you out of the water or blow you back, I guess you could all it a blow-"
"NO!" yelled Hajime as Ibuki was about to make a blowjob joke "please, just play the card, don't intend to finish that joke!"
"Okey-dokey, then for the final showstopper, feast your eyes on THIS!" Ibuki said as she summons a reddish machine with two thick, therapod-like legs, a long saurian tail and a giant canon attached for a head "BLOWBAK DRAGON!"
(BGM: Turn it on – Rocky Legends)
The dragon appeared on the field like a boxer entering a boxing ring with some members of the audience clapping and calling Blowback Dragon name while Ibuki folds her hands and shake them in celebration as the dragon finally steps on the field (A:2300/D:1200)
(BGM ends)
"And my buddy had one powerful of a effect, here's how it works, see that big long canon on Blowback Dragon's head?" asked Ibuki "well, it can destroy one card Ibuki selects provided that it doesn't overhead or misfire".
"Damn, if she succeeds in this, I will be out in the open!" thought Hajime as he started to be worried about the dragon effect.
"Sure, that dragon can instantly kill a monster but she has 1/5 of a chance to hit, what is she thinking?" sarcasticallysaid Hiyoko as Mahiru takes another picture, this time of Blowback Dragon.
"You shouldn't be laughing of its effect, even if Blowback Dragon miss its effect, it is still a force to be reckoned with" says Chiaki as she looks on Hajime, the young Ultimate Gamer starts to be worried about her friend as she hoped that if Ibuki succeed in destroying his Labyrinth Tank, he will be able to recover from this and plan a counter-attack.
"And now, Blowback Dragon, just like we said in the army, FIRE AT THE HOLE!" ordered the Ultimate Musician as Blowback Dragon fire a blast from its head into the air, Hajime starts to cross his fingers as he hoped that the hit will miss but unfortunely the blast came down on Labyrinth Tank, destroying it.
(BGM : Wild Cyclone – Yu-Gi-Oh GX)
"LABYRINTH TANK!" yelled Hajime as he was horrified of his monster destruction.
"Bye-bye Labyrinth Tank it's been a….blast" Ibuki said while she let out a giggle "and now, time for the attack, Blowback Dragon attack Hajime directly!"
Blowback Dragon start to charge up his canon and he ire up a new shot, this time, directly at Hajime who took the hit, making him hit the ground (Hajime: 1500)
(BGM ends)
"That should do the trick Hajime-me, I'll end my turn" stated Ibuki as she let out a big grin while Hajime gets up from his position.
"It's my turn, DRAW!" said Hajime as he drew his next card and he looked at his hand as he prepared his strategy after he saw Wroughtweller, a monster resembling a cyber-dog in his hand.
"I got four dragons, I just need one for a fusion substitute in order to summon Five-headed Dragon but with Wroughweller, I can bring Polymerization back to my hand" thought Hajime as he has now a plan "I summon a facedown monster in Defense mode along with a facedown card and I'll end my turn".
Two holograms of cards appeared on Hajime's field.
"Ohhhh, mysterious with two facedowns, I like that, I draw" declared Ibuki as she drew her new card "I hope you love Russian Roulette Hajime because here comes Twin-Barrel Dragon".
Ibuki summons a raptor-like machine with a twin-barreled gun for a face on the field (A:1700/D:200).
"And like Blowback Dragon, Twin-Barrel Dragon has the same ability meaning that Ibuki has 2/10 of a chance to strike but she knows that she will land a good strike, here we go Twin-Barrel Dragon, destroy that Defense Mode facedown card" ordered Ibuki as Twin-Barrel fired a shot in the air.
"I hope that she will miss otherwise I'm toast!" thought Hajime as he crosses his fingers but eventually, the blast came down two spots far away from the right, missing Hajime's facedown card.
"And she missed" deadpanned Hiyoko as she was disappointed that Ibuki's monster has missed it's shot.
"Blowback Dragon, same card! Blowback Canon!" ordered the Ultimate Musician but as Blowback Dragon prepared its shot, the canon sputtered and coughed, causing smoke to came out of the canon causing Hajime to let out a sigh of relief and Ibuki to sulk "awwww, come on big guy, I polish you every day and this is how you treat me?"
"Seriously Ibuki?" asked Hiyoko as she groaned of how Ibuki was considering a monster to be a friend "it's just a card, you know he can't feel what you feel right?"
"Well Hajime is safe or now but she has still two powerful cards on her field, I wonder what Hajime has in store for us?" wondered in thought Chiaki as she looked at the young man who was relieved that he has survived Ibuki's monster effects.
"Oh well, time for Ibuki's Battle Phase, Ibuki may not have been able to destroy your facedown but she can still attack twice" said Ibuki as she goes back to her jovial side "go Twin-Barrel Dragon, attack!"
Twin-Barrel Dragon charged up its cannons and launched an attack on Hajime's facedown who is destroyed and revealed a cyber-dog who is instantly destroyed since its defenses were no match for the mechanical being (A:800/D:1200).
"You've destroyed Wroughtweller, when it is destroyed in battle, I can add from my Graveyard to my hand, a Polymerization, normally, I should have able to add an Elemental Hero rom the Graveyard but I will just focus on the Polymerization card" said Hajime as he returned Polymerization back to his hand.
"Well, Ibuki will follow that by a direct attack from Blowback Dragon, Blowback Canon" ordered Ibuki as the red dragon prepared to ire its shot but Hajime was prepared for that.
"I'll activate my trap card: Threatening Roar!" Hajime activate his trap card to which a giant roar is heard across the field putting an end to Blowback Dragon Canon charging "you cannot declare an attack for the reminder of the turn!"
"Killjoy" sulked Ibuki as she realized that she was tricked, however, Hiyoko was surprised of that move.
"Wait! If he put that card on the field, why he didn't activate it when Ibuki declared her first attack?" asked the Ultimate Traditional Dancer.
"So that Wroughtweller could bring his Polymerization card back to his hand, had he activate his Threatening Roar too early, he would have lost the chance to bring back his Spell card, Wroughweller could only bring Polymerization if it is destroyed in battle" explained the Ultimate Gamer.
Hiyoko seems to have understood Chiaki's explanation while Ibuki was about to end her turn.
"Well, at least, Ibuki can still have some fun with Hajime, come on Hajime, it's your turn" said Ibuki.
"I shall, I draw!" declared the young man as he drew his new card "first of all, I'll activate Instant Fusion!" says Hajime as a Spell card with a sushi box with the word fusion is written in it "by paying 1000 life points, I can special summon a fusion monster as long it is 5 stars or below and I'll summon with it: Darkfire Dragon!"
As Hajime life points decrease in order to activate Instant Fusion (Hajime: 500) a red flaming dragon appeared on the field (A:1500/D:1250).
"Do also note Ibuki that it can't attack this turn and that in the end of the turn, he will be summoned back to the Extra Deck" Hajime explained.
"Well, that was just stupid" commented Hiyoko "what's the point of tributing 1000 life points or a monster that can't attack and that it can be summoned back to the Extra Deck at the end of the turn".
"I kind agree with Hiyoko there, he took a risk of summoning that monster by giving his life points, did he planned to lose to Ibuki?" wondered Mahiru.
"No, I think he has done that for a good reason" says Chiaki.
"Now, I activate Monster Reborn, thanks to it, I can summon back Giga Tech Wolf from my Graveyard" declared Hajime as he summons Giga Tech Wolf on the field (A: 1200/D: 1400).
"Oh? Hajime tries to be a Big Bad Wolf? But-but-but, it is still weaker than my two dragons" teased Ibuki.
"That's why I'm going to tribute them both" says Hajime as the two monsters disappeared of the field letting out a burst of light appearing on the field "in order to summon Buster Blader!"
The blue armored knight wielding a giant sword appeared on the field (A:2600/2300).
"I knew it that Hajime was planning this from the start!" says Chiaki as she looked proud of Hajime's move.
"When Buster Blader is summoned on the field, he can gain 500 Attacks points if there is any Dragon monsters on my Graveyard" explained the young man to which Ibuki gasps.
"500?! Oh no! Ibuki remembered that Hajime threw one of his Dragons by summoning this bad boy!" commented Ibuki as Buster Blader Attack points rose (A:2600-3100).
"Alright! Buster Blader, attack Blowback Dragon!" ordered Hajime as the blue knight charged towards the dragon and it gives a powerful slash at the monster destroying it and taking with it, 800 lie points from Ibuki (Ibuki: 2850) which seems to rub the Ultimate Musician the wrong way.
"Grrrrr, you've destroyed my favorite monster, I'm gonna make you pay Hajime!" says Ibuki before she switch back to her jovial side "but it's okay, I still love you Hajime".
"Uh…..Thanks?" says a hesitant Hajime as he admitted one thing for himself, she is sure is a strange girl.
"You're welcome, Ibuki guess that you have finished your turn?" asked the Ultimate Musician.
"Not quite, I put one facedown ard and I'll end my turn" Hajime replied as a hologram appeared on his side of the field.
"Okay, time to avenge Blowbak Dragon, I draw!" declared Ibuki as she drew her new card, she appeared happy of her draw "that's a good one, just like you Hajime, I can use Monster Reborn in order to summon back from my Graveyard Blowbak Dragon!"
"Great!" spatted Hajime as the red mechanical dragon appeared on Ibuki's field (A:2300/D:1200).
"Alight, time to see if Ibuki's luck will shine through this time! Blowback Dragon, fire at will!" ordered Ibuki as the dragon managed to fire a shot in the air and eventually it falls on Buster Blader, successfully destroying it "all right, direct hit! Victory! Now Ibuki can attack you directly, Blowback Dragon, Blowback Canon!"
The dragon fired a new shot but Hajime was once again prepared for it.
"I'll activate my trap card : Negate Attack!" declared Hajime causing Blowback Dragon attack to disappear in a vortex "when you ordered your Battle Phase, it canceled it immediately".
"Ohhhhhh, so you want Ibuki to keep playing? You know you're about to lose Hajime and yet, you still want to play with Ibuki? That's so nice coming from you Hajime" teased the Ultimate Musician.
"I'm not going to lose Ibuki, I may get back on my feet" says Hajime as he prepared to draw, he has to draw the right card right now, otherwise, Ibuki will win this duel "I draw!"
Hajime drew his next card and he looked at it, this was the perfect card that he needed right now!"
(BGM : Flash Train – Street Fighter EX2)
"I have now everything that I need, I activate Polymerization" says Hajime as a vortex appeared behind him "I use four dragons of Thunder, Water, Dark and Fire along with The Earth - Hex-Sealed Fusion in order to fusion summon : Five-headed Dragon!"
As Hajime summoned the monster, a giant pillar of light appeared on the field, blinding everyone who looked at it, after a few seconds, the pillar disappears in order to introduce the five-headed monster who let out a powerful roar (A:5000/D:5000).
"Wow, it's a big kaiju!" commented Ibuki as she was impressed and intimidated by the size of the Five-headed Dragon "but it's super dubly bad, Ibuki can't counter that summon!"
"Then it is over Ibuki, Five-headed Dragon, attack Twin-Barrel Dragon with your Multi-Elemental Blast!" ordered Hajime as the dragon mouths begin to glow with energy which causes Ibuki to panic as she knows that if the attack connects, she will lose the duel.
"H-hey, let's talk this over big guy um…..L-look, Ibuki has candy!" says Ibuki as she holds up a jar of gum that she has found from who know where but when she notes that the dragon was still charging its attack, she throws the jar aside (injuring a bystander in the process) and she starts to look for solutions but then she got an idea "Ibuki got it, music always sooths the savage beast!"
But as Ibuki was about to play a note, Five-headed Dragon launch its attack at Twin-Barrel Dragon, destroying it and covers Ibuki with it which leaves her in a charred state and deplete the rest of her life points(Ibuki:0)
(BGM ends)
Hajime wins!
Everyone started to applaud Hajime after his victory which pleased him as he was honored to have succeeded in winning his duel but as he looked at Ibuki, it seems that the young girl was attempting to speak to Hajime.
"That was…."
"Ibuki?" carefully asked the young man as he didn't know if Ibuki was a sore loser or not.
"That was…." Ibuki said before she became more chipper as she literally had stars in her eyes "so totally awesome! Man, Ibuki really thought she had you."
"Had I didn't draw the right card, yeah, I think you could have won" Hajime said.
"Right? Hajime is so awesome, you managed to get the right card at the right time, that was so cool, we have to get another match next time!" asked the Ultimate Musician.
"Sure, when you will be ready, I will give you another match Ibuki, I did enjoy our duel myself" promised the young man.
"YAHOOOOO! Then it's settled" chipped Ibuki as the other girls comes closer in order to see Hajime.
"Nice duel there Hajime" congratulate Chiaki as she was proud that Hajime has won which prove that her lessons weren't for naught.
"I should be thanking you Chiaki, it was thanks to your training that I was able to improve myself in dueling" says Hajime which seems to interest Ibuki.
"Ohhhhhhh? So Hajime is your student Chiaki? You teach him how to play Duel Monsters?" asked the Ultimate Musician.
"Well, I am more teaching him some techniques about dueling so that he knows more about the game" says the Ultimate Gamer.
"And tell Ibuki, is he good at bed?" asked Ibuki which cause Hajime to blush as he feels that the question was really not needed.
"N-n-no, it has nothing to do with that, we are just training, there is nothing else attached!"
"Are you certain wuss? I'm sure you get a boner every time you come to one of her lessons" teased Hiyoko which cause Hajime's blush to deepen.
"I-i-i-I'm not!" defended the young man to which Chiaki decides to interfere.
"I think we should stop, Hajime is just a friend, that will be all" says Chiaki which cause Ibuki to sulk as she was expecting another kind o answer but Hajime was thankful that Chiaki had settled down the argument.
"I think you're right Chiaki, I think that Hajime seems to be kinda ok for a man so I don't think that you will do something reckless with her aren't you ?" asked Mahiru as she was still suspicious of the young man but she starts to ease up at his presence.
"Yeah, there are nothing attached, really, she is a good friend of mine, that's all" confirms Hajime.
"Okay then, now that you have done your dueling training, how about a little game session with me so that you could enjoy your time at the club" proposed Chiaki.
"Sure!" agreed Hajime.
"All right then" says the Ultimate Gamer as she was happy that Hajime agreed to stay playing games with her but she turned to Ibuki and the others in order to propose to them "and what about you? Will you tag along with us? We can play a Mario Kart session together".
"YAHOOOOO! Ibuki is fully ready to race with you!" chipped Ibuki.
"Why not? I can spare a few games with you Chiaki" agreed Mahiru to which Hiyoko seems to be ready to join in too.
The group eventually goes to the racing games room so that they could enjoy rounds of Mario Kart 8 together.
