Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

The next day, the sunlight gently fell on the earth like a golden veil, covering the whole world with a warm and bright glow.

Lin Hao and his classmates arrived at the classroom early, ready to start the new day's classes.

There was a faint learning atmosphere in the classroom, with students either talking in low voices or looking down to preview the textbook contents.

Lin Hao sat in his seat, looking through the window at the blue sky outside, feeling particularly relaxed.

The class bell rang crisply, breaking the silence in the classroom.

Our homeroom teacher, Gao Hongliang, walked into the classroom with a steady pace, his face etched with his usual seriousness and earnestness. He cleared his throat and began today's class.

"Today I will tell you what a double monster is." Gao Hongliang's voice echoed in the classroom, clear and powerful.

The students all pricked up their ears and listened attentively to the teacher's explanation.

"A so-called Double Monster is a normal monster when it's first summoned, but it can be awakened and transformed into an Effect Monster by being summoned again."

While explaining, Gao Hongliang turned on the multimedia and showed some card pictures of double monsters that he found on the Internet, so that the students could understand this special monster more intuitively.

At this time, a classmate raised his hand and asked, "How can we perform another summon?"

Gao Hongliang smiled and replied, "Everyone knows that the rules of our duels are that we can only Normal Summon a monster once per turn. Normally summoning monsters means we summon monsters from our hand. Double Summoning, however, means we give up our chance to Normal Summon a monster this turn and summon the Double Monster on the field again."

After listening to the teacher's explanation, the students all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

But then, another student asked curiously, "Isn't that a waste of a precious summoning opportunity?"

Gao Hongliang patiently explained, "Because the effects of a double monster awakened by resummoning are usually quite powerful, it's quite practical for many people."

Gao Hongliang continued to explain in depth the characteristics and usage of the double monster, and the students listened with great interest.

They sometimes lowered their heads to take notes, and sometimes asked their own questions. The classroom atmosphere was very lively.

Time passed by unknowingly, and the bell for the end of get out of class finally rang.

Gao Hongliang announced the end of get out of class and called Lin Hao at the same time.

Lin Hao's heart moved slightly, wondering what the teacher wanted to talk to him about.

He stood up and walked towards Gao Hongliang.

In the classroom corridor, sunlight shines through the windows onto the ground, forming bright spots of light.

Lin Hao walked up to Gao Hongliang and asked softly, "Teacher, is there anything wrong?"

Gao Hongliang looked at Lin Hao and said, "I heard that you defeated Tan Cheng and Song Wen in succession."

Lin Hao smiled sheepishly and said, "It's all luck, it's nothing."

Gao Hongliang nodded and said, "Including you, there are now three duelists in our class."

After a pause, Gao Hongliang continued, "Recently, all the colleges and universities in Xingsha City have united to hold a campus duelist tournament. However, our school only has ten spots. Therefore, we will first organize a qualification challenge duel within our school."

Lin Hao asked curiously, "Teacher, do you mean to let me participate?"

Gao Hongliang nodded and said, "I have a general understanding of your strength. Although you may not be able to get a place, you can still gain more experience."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

Gao Hongliang continued, "So in this afternoon's class, I want you to duel with Tang Shengzhi to prove your strength."

Lin Hao said without hesitation: "No problem at all, I understand."

After Lin Hao returned to the classroom, Liu Feng and others gathered around him and asked, "Haozi, the teacher called you over. What did he say?"

Lin Hao said, "Let me have a duel with Tang Shengzhi this afternoon."

Hearing this, Tang Shengzhi was immediately surprised and said, "I don't think I can be a match for Lin Hao right now."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Everyone just needs to do their best. Winning or losing is not important."

Hearing this, everyone nodded. They all knew that this duel was not just a contest of strength, but also an opportunity to learn and grow.

Everyone was looking forward to the duel in the afternoon to see what kind of sparks Lin Hao and Tang Shengzhi would create.

……

On a hot afternoon, the scorching sun was burning the earth.

The class teacher Gao Hongliang knew very well that in such hot weather, outdoor activities could easily cause heatstroke, and the space in the classroom was very small, making it impossible for students to duel to their heart's content.

So he decisively led the whole class to the spacious and bright dueling arena in the school.

This duel arena is located in the core area of ​​the school. The surrounding walls are as white as snow, exuding a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

The roof of the duel arena is made of special transparent heat-dissipating glass. Although sunlight can penetrate the glass unimpeded into the arena, it does not make people feel stuffy.

This magical glass material can not only effectively block the invasion of heat, but also save electricity consumption to the greatest extent during the day. It can be said to be a perfect combination of technology and environmental protection.

Soon, Lin Hao and Tang Shengzhi stood in the center of the duel arena. Their eyes were determined and full of desire for victory.

The two men skillfully activated their duel disks, and the crisp electronic sound resounded throughout the duel arena, as if announcing that a fierce battle was about to begin.

Then, they exchanged decks of cards and shuffled them carefully, each shuffling action full of ritual.

Teacher Gao Hongliang stood in the audience, gazing intently at the two students. Then, he addressed the surrounding students, "Look, students! There's a random fate pointer on the duel board. Whoever the pointer points to gets the chance to attack first. As the saying goes, one step ahead, every step ahead. The student who attacks first has a certain advantage; after all, they get to draw an extra card."

On the stage, Tang Shengzhi couldn't help but feel secretly delighted when he heard Teacher Gao's words.

When the pointer of fate slowly stopped and pointed at him, he shouted happily: "I was the one to attack first, so I will go for it."

"My turn, draw a card."

Tang Shengzhi's voice was full of confidence.

He looked down at the card he had just drawn, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

Then, he made a decisive decision: "Summon [Hidden Dragon of the Cave] (ATK 1300/DEF 2000) in Defense Position. Then, cover a card, and the turn ends."
