Yu-Gi-Oh, the tenth generation of card-playing simulator!

"It's not that easy!" John waved his hand and pulled out a Trap Card from his Graveyard just as the Tenth Generation's Battle Phase began. "Bannerf the [Spirit Sealing Sword of Light] in your Graveyard. This turn, your monsters will not be able to attack directly."

"Well, as expected, the original plan was to hide the effect in the cemetery." Judai touched the bridge of his nose and chose to end the battle phase. In fact, he had already had a premonition when the opponent had precisely piled up the cemetery. The current attack was just an attempt.

"As expected of the top talent from the Northern Branch, it looks like this battle is still going to last." Judai's expression gradually grew serious, and he placed a card in his hand on the Duel Board: "Then, Fold a card and end this round."

"It's my turn!" John immediately announced the start of the round. Having lost the right to draw cards, he chose to enter the main stage directly.

"First, the magic card [Gem's Favor]!" John played the first one in his hand. "Based on its effect, I can place [Gem Beast Jade Turtle] and [Gem Beast Jade Tiger] in the graveyard as continuous spells on the face of the Magic Trap area."

As this card activates, two gems, a green and a yellow one, condense in John's backfield.

"Then there's the magic card [Rare Value]." John solemnly placed the last card in the center of the duel disk. "Its effect: When there are two or more [Gem Beast] cards in the Magic Trap Zone, you choose one of them. The chosen card is sent to the Graveyard, and I can then draw two cards."

"Just choose the [Jade Turtle]." After the other party told Judai all the effects, Judai thought briefly and chose to send the [Jade Turtle], which had been confirmed to have no tomb-entering effect, back to the cemetery.

“Swish swish—”

On the other side, John had two cards in his hand after doing this.

"Next, I'm going to activate the Equipment Spell [Golden Jade Strip]. Based on the effect of this card, I can place [Gemmon Amber Mammoth] and [Gemmon Amethyst Cat] in the Deck as Continuous Spells in the Magic Trap Zone, and then Special Summon [Gemmon Jade Pegasus] in the Graveyard."

Ding--

Two brown and purple gems floated in the backcourt of John, while a white horse with green wings came in the air after a long sigh.

[Gem Beast Jade Pegasus / Star Level 1800 / Wind / Beast Tribe / Attack 1200 / Defense ]

"Good afternoon, John." The Jade Pegasus had just flown into the arena when it turned and greeted its own elf user: "Looks like you'll need to borrow my power today too."

"Well, please." John on the Duel Field chuckled and immediately activated its effect: "According to the ability of [Jade Pegasus], when this card is successfully Special Summoned, I can place [Gem Beast Cobalt Spirehawk] from my Deck face-up in the Magic Trap Zone."

"This guy's backcourt..." Judai on the other side couldn't help but show a strange expression after seeing that John actually filled the backcourt with a bunch of monster cards.

But when I think about it carefully, I realize that the other party has retrieved six different gem monsters without realizing it. Including the [Red Jade Beast] I met before, it seems that he has seen all seven gem monsters.

So the core operation point of this deck is to gather different gem monsters in the backfield, but what effect will this produce? I suddenly started to look forward to it.

By the way, what would happen if Baoyumon met Kusha who could seal the magic trap?

Just as Judai was lost in thought, John on the other side took out a magic card from the graveyard: "Ban the normal spell [Galaxy Cyclone] and destroy the face-up equipment spell [Golden Rule] on the field."

Ten generations: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴

"What's going on... Why are you suddenly destroying your own cards?"

"Because there aren't enough slots..." John said with a hint of embarrassment. "When family members want to show off, it's inevitable that there will be some minor problems, but the prerequisites have finally been met."

John placed the last card in his hand on the last remaining space in the backfield. "Activate the Spell Card [Gem Flood], sending the four face-up [Gem Beast] cards in the Magic Trap Zone to the Graveyard. Send all cards on the field to the Graveyard!"

Chapter 253: John: Hey, where is my Honglong?

"Si Guoyi, you are so awesome!" Seeing that John could actually trigger a card with such demanding activation conditions, Judai's face was filled with admiration.

"Hahaha, same here, you're strong too." John continued in his warm tone, "Next is the follow-up effect of [Gem Flood]. I can Special Summon as many Gem Beasts from your Graveyard as the number of cards removed from your field by this effect!"

"Four cards were just sent from my field to the Graveyard..."

"That's right, so I can Special Summon four Gem Monsters!" John's voice suddenly rose as he spoke this point. "I'm going to Special Summon Jade Pegasus, Amber Mammoth, Amethyst Cat, and Jade Turtle to the field."

Four rainbows of different colors lit up from John's grave, and four gem monsters appeared in front of him in an instant.

"Are you going to win, John?" The Jade Pegasus, who had returned from the cemetery, shook his ponytail, his tone somewhat excited.

"Yes, we will win!" John nodded and continued, "Then the effect of [Sapphire Pegasus] will be used to stick the last Gem Monster - [Gem Beast Ruby Beast] - into the Magic Trap Area."

"Very good, the war is about to begin!" After exchanging a glance with the four gem beasts in the field, John waved his hand and declared an attack.

"Is this going to work? I don't think it's going to be this easy." The mature and prudent Jade Turtle couldn't help but warn John, "A rash attack might just fall right into their trap."

"Well, but this is our only chance to win. If we can't pay it back..." John scratched his head and explained to the Jade Turtle with a wry smile.

"Hey, Jade Turtle, you are too cautious. The opponent's field is empty now. What are you afraid of? Let me go first." The Amethyst Cat on the side became impatient after the battle phase started. After saying this, it immediately jumped up high into the air, aiming its claws at Judai's cheek and ready to scratch the opponent's face.

"Except the [Roll Back Transaction] in the graveyard, I will pay half of my health points, and I will copy the effect of the [Holy Protective Shield] that was just sent to the graveyard." Facing the Amethyst Cat that was about to pounce on him, Judai immediately activated the only grave effect.

4000th generation LP: 2000->

"Meow, [Transaction Rollback]? When did that happen?" Seeing the divine power that was about to take shape, the Amethyst Cat was frightened and quickly stopped his four legs, ready to go home.

"That was when I was buried in a grave by Liquid Man." Judai responded to the talking elf with a smile.

"Damn it, this is not fun at all." But even though it ran as fast as it could on all fours, the Amethyst Cat was still caught up by Hanno's power and turned into a crystal stone that condensed in John's backcourt.

"This card...can we bring it with us next time?" Among the other three gem beasts that were also facing the dilemma of being destroyed, the Amber Mammoth sighed and made a request to John.

"This... let me think about it." Seeing the good situation suddenly collapse, John was scratching his head.

On the other side, Judai warned, "All your cards are now in your backfield, so this is the end of the round?"

"No." A reply beyond Judai's expectation came out of John's mouth: "Don't forget the number of my gem beasts."

"How many Gem Beasts are there...?" Judai blinked, then thought of a startling fact: "Including the cemetery, there are already seven Gem Beasts."

"Hehe, that's right, I'm awesome, right?" John, with his hands on his hips, showed a proud expression.

"From the beginning until now, the Gem Monsters have only been low-level three or four stars, so there's actually an ace." Judai looked at the other party with a hint of curiosity. "So, now that you've gathered seven Gem Monsters, will you be summoning an ace monster next?"

"That's right!" John nodded, his lips curled up slightly. "As expected of the tenth generation, you can discover the true nature of my deck with just a simple reminder. As expected, there is a fundamental difference between you and the others."

A proud look appeared on John's face. "My true trump card is actually the fusion of seven Gemmons. It is an extremely heroic Duel Monster, the [Ultra Gem God Rainbow Dragon]!"

"...When the seven gems gather, the light that connects the world will descend upon this place. This is the miracle of the gems! Come, the Ultimate Gem Beast - Rainbow Dragon!"

At John's call, the seven-colored gems dragged their tails and built a rainbow bridge connecting to another world.

As the rainbow bridge took shape, the shadow of a giant dragon, so huge that it almost covered the entire duel arena, slowly emerged in the white light.

"The ultimate gem beast..." Faced with this powerful aura, even Judai adopted a serious attitude, ready to carefully observe the approaching monster.

"Ahaha, I was kidding you." Seeing Judai finally reveal his tense expression, John showed a sly smile. At the same time, as his words fell, the shadow of the rainbow dragon that had just covered the sky and the sun disappeared into thin air.

"Hmm...? Where's that monster from before..." Judai's expression changed from solemn to puzzled, and he questioned the other party: "Hey, John, where's the ace monster we promised? Why did it suddenly disappear?"

"Oh...what should I say." Seeing that Judai actually took it seriously, John felt embarrassed: "Actually, Rainbow Dragon is not in my deck yet, hahahaha!"

Judai: “???”

"...Not in the deck?"

"What? This is too outrageous!"

"How can there be a deck without even an ace?"

"Then why would you use this deck to duel?"

The audience in the audience, who were also expecting something, were also confused after hearing John's explanation, and complaints came like a tide.

"But there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I didn't even get that card!"

"Ah, what's going on?" Judai asked in confusion.

"Because according to ancient Roman documents..." John explained with a smile, "There once was a Rainbow Dragon Slate that housed the Seven-Colored Jade, but it hasn't been discovered yet..."

"Oh, so that's how it is..." After listening to John's explanation, Judai finally understood and showed an expression of understanding.

If John couldn't summon the ace monster because he had no cards, then his behavior would be understandable, but it seemed a bit regrettable for the duel.

"But, I've already made an agreement with President Bekas. Once I find the stone tablet, he will help me make it into a card." John shouted to the people around him:

"Then I'd like to ask everyone, if you find any information about the stone tablet, please inform me as soon as possible. Thank you! Of course, it's not something that can be easily found, so I can understand even if there is no news! Hahahaha."

"This guy is really interesting." After muttering, Judai took over the control of the round.

"Then it's my turn." The top card of the deck was picked up by Judai again:

"Normal Summon [Skyman], and based on its effect, add [Elemental Hero Sincere New Skyman] to your hand."

"It looks like it's almost over!" With the addition of this card, Judai directly announced the start of the battle phase.

As the smoke and dust cleared, John, who had been knocked to the ground by Skyman, patted his butt and stood up again: "Oh, that hurts. Is this what failure feels like?"

...

At the same time, in an abandoned laboratory of the Duel Academy, Cobra was standing with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the large container in front of him.

Looking at the insignificant duel energy inside, the veins on his forehead couldn't help but throb.

According to the time, the duel should have already begun, but why...why has such a long time passed and only a little bit of fighting energy has been transmitted?

Weren't we supposed to be the top masters of the academy? Where's your fighting spirit? Where's it?!

Chapter 254: Professor Cobra: O'Brien, go and kill VI!

Time passed again, until Judai and John on the duel stage shook hands, indicating that the duel was over. Professor Cobra, the organizer of the game, then slowly walked into the duel hall with a gloomy face.

However, Cobra obviously managed his expression very well. After he came to the stage, he returned to his expressionless look.

After praising the two people on the stage, Cobra began a new round of speeches towards the audience below:

"Very good. I believe you have all seen that my teaching principle is practical combat. Therefore, in the coming year, all students must wear dueling wristbands when dueling. Moreover, duels are not restricted by grade or school.

Fight! Fight! Fight with all your might, classmates! "

Cobra waved his advantageous arms and conveyed his duel philosophy to the people below in a voice that was almost like a roar.

"This new teacher is really passionate about duels." Judai, who had already returned to the stage, couldn't help but make such a comment after hearing the other party's words.

However, soon after, Cobra's subsequent words made the crowd below become noisy.

"I've already said that the dueling bracelet can detect the duelists' concentration, willpower, and judgment, and report it to the terminal.

Therefore, if I find that someone is found to be lacking in dueling will and strength, I will immediately lower their dormitory level. If they still fail to meet the requirements after that, they will be expelled and kicked out of the academy immediately!

A guy who has no enthusiasm for dueling is not worthy of being a real duelist!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Professors Kurolos and Napoleon, who had remained silent before, could no longer sit still. They immediately ran to Samejima's location and asked him to stop Cobra's behavior immediately.

The students in the audience were also discussing the matter. Although they had prepared themselves mentally and believed that Professor Cobra's teaching would be very strict, they never expected it to be so harsh.

"If we do that, won't every battle be an arbitration duel?"

"Isn't this professor a devil?"

"Oh no! I searched and found out that this guy's nickname at the Western Branch is Cobra. How could someone with a nickname like that be a good person?"

"Ah, why does the academy have to welcome such a teacher? I miss Professor Daitokuji so much."

"Tenth generation..." Although they were strong in Osiris Red, the words around them still made everyone waver, and Asuka was about to speak.

"Although it sounds harsh, this should be for the good of the students." Judai has a nonchalant attitude towards this system for the time being.

"It's not that simple." Misawa shook his head. "Excluding us, regardless of school or grade, this kind of duel would be too advantageous for the third-year Obelisk Blues, and it would also greatly dampen the enthusiasm of the first-year students..."

"Is that so..." Judai nodded: "Then let's discuss this with the principal and the others."

...

"What the hell are these students doing? Why is everyone's fighting energy so weak?!"

As soon as the opening ceremony ended, Judai took Misawa to find Samejima and Cobra. After some friendly consultations, some punishment plans were forced to be modified.

In this situation, Cobra, who had returned to the laboratory in anger, suddenly became angry when he saw the prompt on the analysis interface that the current duel energy was weak.
