Yu-Gi-Oh! Fourseasons

"Report! Teacher! I'm sorry! I'm late again!" You Dong is always late.

Gui Hai, standing beside the podium, said slowly and deliberately, "Didn't I tell you that if you were late again, you'd be dead?!"

You Dong: "Um, teacher, I'll go first..."

Suddenly, Gui Hai's expression improved. He waved to You Dong and said, "But you're not late today. You're just in time. Go to your seat."

You Dong breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the empty seat next to You Xia.

You Xia laughed and whispered, "You Dong, it's really funny to see you get so embarrassed!"

You Dong lightly punched You Xia's thigh and said, "Don't gloat. Believe me or not, I'll invite you to my house tonight to eat You Yue's culinary disasters."

You Xia quickly shook her head and said, "You should forget about it. I had dinner at your house last night and got diarrhea in the middle of the night."

You Dong took the initiative: "So you have diarrhea! Look at me, I don't have any."

You Xia scoffed, "Don't think I don't know that you went to the bathroom more than a dozen times during the meal to induce vomiting."

Seeing that You Xia had exposed his secrets, You Dong turned his head to the side and stopped talking to You Xia.

……

Practical training.

On the playground.

"Class, this lesson is a practical lesson..." Gui Hai said.

You Dong complained, "Why is it that Teacher Gui Hai is also teaching the practical classes? Teacher Gui Hai's class meetings, Taoist techniques, and synchronization classes have already tortured me to death."

Gui Hai clearly heard You Dong's words. He accelerated his synchronization speed and came to You Dong, grabbed him, and questioned, "You have a problem with me giving a practical lesson?"

You Dong shook his head like a rattle drum.

Gui Hai smiled and said, "That's right." After saying that, she put You Dong down and went back to continue her story.

……

"Next, students will draw lots, and those with the same number will compete against each other," Gui Hai announced the rules.

You Dong muttered under his breath, "What? Can't I choose my own opponent? I still want to duel with You Xia."

……

A few minutes later, the draw was completed.

Gui Hai: "Please step forward, the two students who drew number one!"

You Xia smiled at You Dong: "I'm going up first."

A cold, blonde girl walked out from the other side.

You Dong muttered to himself, "Haven't I seen her somewhere before? She looks so familiar."

Gui Hai said, "Please introduce yourselves, both of you."

The blonde girl said coldly, "You Qiu."

You Xia greeted her warmly, "Hello, my name is You Xia. Um, haven't we met somewhere before?"

You Qiu completely ignored You Xia, unfolded the Duel Disk, and indicated that he was ready.

You Xia felt extremely embarrassed, but as the Duel Disk on his left arm unfolded, the embarrassment instantly vanished.

……

"Duel!" x2

You Qiu: "First strike is mine. My turn."

In that instant, a strong killing intent erupted from You Qiu's body. Apart from the boy who had been sitting next to You Qiu, everyone, including Gui Hai, was so frightened that they couldn't move!

You Qiu: "I usually summon [Autumn Harvest Brilliant Wheat]."

[Autumn Harvest Brilliant Wheat], Earth attribute, Level 3, Normal Monster, Plant type, Attack 1000, Defense 900.

"I've set up a link arrow for [Brilliant Wheat]! Come forth! The circuit that symbolizes my life! The summoning condition is one or more [Autumn Harvest] monsters! Link Summon! Link 1! [Autumn Harvest Harvester]!"

[Autumn Harvest Warrior], Earth attribute, Link 1, Effect/Link Monster, Warrior type, Arrow →, Attack 1000.

"I activate the effect of [Harvest Warrior] to Special Summon a [Autumn Harvest] monster from my Graveyard to my field. Come back, [Brilliant Wheat]!"

"I've set up a link arrow between [Harvest Warrior] and [Brilliant Wheat]! Come forth! The circuit that symbolizes my life! The summoning condition is one or more [Autumn Harvest] monsters! Link Summon! Link 2! [Autumn Harvest King of Fruits]!"

[Autumn Harvest King of Fruits], Earth attribute, Link 2, Effect/Link Monster, Plant type, Arrow ↙↓, Attack 2100.

"I activate the effect of [King of Fruits], which allows me to Special Summon one of my Link Materials to my Link End. Come back, Reaper Warrior."

"I then activate the effect of [Harvest Warrior] to Special Summon [Brilliant Wheat] from the Graveyard."

"I've set up link arrows for the three monsters on the field! Come forth! The circuit that symbolizes my life! The summoning condition is one or more [Autumn Harvest] monsters of the same attribute! Link Summon! Link Summon! Link 4! [Autumn Harvest Fiery Goose]!"

[Autumn Harvest, Fiery Wild Geese], Attribute: Fire, Link 4, Effect/Link Monster: Winged Beast, Arrow ←→↙↘, Attack Power: 2300.

"I activate the effect of [Fire Goose] to Special Summon one Link [Autumn Harvest] monster from my Graveyard to my Link. Come back, [King of Fruits]."

"I activate the effect of [King of Fruits] to Special Summon [Harvest Warrior]."

"Then activate the effect of [Harvest Warrior] to Special Summon [Brilliant Wheat]."

"I've set up a link arrow between [Fiery Goose] and [Brilliant Wheat]! Come forth! The circuit that symbolizes my life! The summoning condition is one or more [Autumn Harvest] monsters!"

"In the harvest season, golden fruits transform into a giant dragon, overlooking the earth! Link Summon! Link 5! [Autumn Harvest Dragon]!"

[Autumn Harvest Dragon], Attribute: Earth, Link 5, Effect/Link Monster: Dragon, Arrow ↖↗↙↓↘, Attack 3000.

Youqiu directly relied on the [Autumn Harvest] monster bug graveyard pull effect to summon his ace in the first round, and it also had a powerful 4000 attack power!

"I activate the effect of [Autumn Harvest Dragon]. If there is another [Autumn Harvest] monster on the field besides this one, its ATK increases by 1000!"

"I'll activate another effect of [Autumn Harvest Dragon]: When this monster is successfully Link Summoned, you can Special Summon one of your Link Materials from the Graveyard! Come back, [Fire Goose]!"

"I'll link [Harvest Warrior] and [King of Fruits] again! Come forth! The circuit that symbolizes my life! The summoning condition is one or more [Autumn Harvest] monsters! Link Summon! Link 3! [Autumn Harvest Rice Husk Warrior]!"

[Autumn Harvest Rice Husk Warrior], Earth attribute, Link 3, Effect/Link Monster, Arrow ←→↓, Warrior type, ATK 2300.

"I cover three cards, end of turn."

Yuqiu has 1 card in hand, 3 in front row, 3 in back row, 8000 life points, 3 in graveyard, and 0 in banished zone.

You Xia complained under her breath, "She's been talking to herself for so long, and it's finally my turn. Tsk, her [Autumn Harvest Dragon] has 4000 attack power, this is going to be tough. Looks like I need to let that trump card out for a bit."

“My turn, draw a card!

"When you have [Summer Guitarist Cicada] and [Summer Home Frog] in your hand, you can Special Summon [Summer Drummer Lily] from your Deck."

[Midsummer Guitarist Cicada], Attribute: Fire, Level 4, Normal Monster, Insect Type, Attack 1500, Defense 1000.

[Midsummer Drummer Lotus Leaf], Attribute: Fire, Level 4, Effect Monster, Plant Type, Attack 1200, Defense 1600.

[Midsummer Lead Singer Frog], Attribute: Fire, Level 4, Effect Monster, Insect Type, Attack 1700, Defense 1500.

"I usually summon [guitarist cicada]."

"When there is [Guitarist Cicada] or [Drummer Lotus Leaf] on the field, [Singer Frog] can be Special Summoned from your hand."

"I'll use the three monsters on the field to create a superimposed light network!"

"At that moment, I activated the effect of [Singer Frog]. When this monster, along with [Guitarist Cicada] and [Drummer Lotus Leaf], are defeated, the levels of these three monsters rise by 2!"

"Xyz Summon! Rank 6! [Midsummer Rock and Roll Tiger]!"

[Midsummer Frenzy Tiger], Attribute: Fire, Rank 6, Effect/Xyz Monster, Beast-Warrior Type, ATK 2500, DEF 2600.

"I activate the effect of [Rock Tiger] once per turn, consuming one Xyz Material, and its ATK increases by 200 times the number of monsters on both sides' fields. That is to say, the ATK of [Rock Tiger] increases to 3300."

"Then, I'll activate another effect of [Rock Fever Tiger], consuming one Xyz Material to negate one monster effect; and the one I want to negate is the one that makes [Autumn Harvest Dragon]'s ATK 4000!"

The incredibly powerful monster [Autumn Harvest Dragon] with 4000 attack power has been reduced to a normal monster with 3000 attack power. Now, the [Rock Fever Tiger]'s attack power is enough to destroy the [Autumn Harvest Dragon]!

Yu Qiu became slightly more vigilant—even if [Autumn Harvest Dragon] was destroyed by [Rock Fever Tiger], Yu Qiu could use the effect of [Blazing Wild Goose] to pull it back from the graveyard in the next turn, and to refresh the effect of [Autumn Harvest Dragon], he only needed to summon an [Autumn Harvest] monster in the next turn; however, Yu Xia was slow to enter the battle phase. Everyone could see that Yu Xia activated the effect of [Rock Fever Tiger] to fill the graveyard, but no one could see what Yu Xia ultimately wanted to do.

Yu Xia smiled and dramatically activated a spell card in his hand: "I activate the spell card [Rank-Up Spell: Midsummer's Last Wish]. The rank of one [Midsummer] Xyz Monster on the field can only be increased by the same number of [Midsummer] Monsters in my Graveyard. I only have two [Midsummer] Monsters in my Graveyard, which means that [Rock Fever Tiger] can only be increased by a maximum of 2 ranks, but that's enough!"

You Dong, standing in the crowd, started calculating: "6 plus 2 equals 8! You Xia's trump card is coming!"

You Xia pointed to the sky and shouted:

"The scorching dragon, carrying the sun's radiance, soars into the sky, scorching the earth! Upgrade to Super Transformation! Rank 8! [Midsummer Dragon]!"

"Because of the effect of [Midsummer Dragon], its attack power is reduced by 100 times the number of [Midsummer] monsters on the field."

Yu Dong, standing in the crowd, thought to himself, "Next, I should be able to negate the effect of consuming excess materials, and then use the [Midsummer Dragon] effect to boost my attack power."

However, Youxia did not use the effect of [Midsummer Dragon] to negate this effect, but had other plans.

You Xia waved his hand and said, "I will construct the [Midsummer Dragon] as a whole, Oppa Lei!"

"The dragon of the sun is reborn in flames, burn the earth! Xyz Transformation! [Midsummer Phoenix Dragon] (Defense Position)!"

[Midsummer Phoenix Dragon], Attribute: Fire, Rank 8, Effect/Xyz Monster, Dragon, Attack: ?, Defense: 3800.

"[Phoenix Dragon]'s ATK is the number of times this monster has been Special Summoned from the Graveyard x 1000. Since [Phoenix Dragon] has been Special Summoned from the Graveyard 0 times, its current ATK is 0."

"I cover a card and the turn ends."

1 card in hand, 3 in front row, 4 in back row, 8000 Life Points, 3 in Graveyard, 0 banished cards.

Yu Xia has 1 card in hand, 1 in front row, 1 in back row, 8000 life points, 3 in the graveyard, and 0 banished cards.

……

Just then, the principal, who was taking a walk on campus, saw You Xia and You Qiu dueling on the playground. He rushed over to Gui Hai and asked, "Xiao Hai, why are those two fighting?"

Gui Hai turned around and smiled: "Dad, of course it's by drawing lots."

The principal breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then immediately sighed again.

Gui Hai raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong? Can't the two of them duel together?"

The principal sighed again and explained, "Due to some special circumstances, the two of them will not face off in the end."

Upon hearing the words "special circumstances," Gui Hai's expression immediately darkened: "Special circumstances! It's always special circumstances! Every time something happens, you and Brother Ling Shou use 'special circumstances' to brush me off! You keep everything from me!"

The principal put his hand on Gui Hai's shoulder and said helplessly, "That's because these things are too dangerous. Ling Shou and I don't want you to get involved or be in danger."

Gui Hai slapped the principal's hand away and demanded, "Then why did you transfer me from Class 1 of Grade 2 to Class 12 of Grade 1, the worst class, to be my homeroom teacher?!"

The principal explained, "That's because four children who shouldn't be together are all in this class. I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives might discover their secret and use them for bad purposes. I transferred you here to prevent that from happening, and I also hope you can help keep an eye on things and report any unusual activity immediately."

After saying that, the principal left.

Gui Hai shouted towards the spot where the principal had left, "One day, I'll dig out all those so-called secrets you and Brother Ling Shou have!"
