Chapter 18 The protagonist falls behind without making a declaration of victory in advance
The duel between Gen and Maki Island continues, and the lives of both sides are 1500 vs. 2000.
"I activate this card from my hand, my other trump card - 'Force Transfer'! Each side chooses a monster on the field and exchanges control, and the chosen monster cannot change the representation this turn! I chose to attack the 'Seal Lock'! Makishima Seigo stretched out his white index and middle fingers in his right hand and picked up the "Seal Lock" and threw it in front of Genji. The card, which had become his Achilles' heel on the field, spun in a circle, and finally determined the "attack indication" vertically.
Seeing Makishima's precise card throwing technique, the audience burst into sporadic applause. As if dissatisfied with the unintentional interruption of these people, Makishima raised the hand he had just used to signal them to be quiet, and then he said to his opponent in an unhurried tone, "It's your turn, Miss Kobayashi!" Which card do you want to exchange it for? Is it the 'Earth Star Swordsman' or the 'Three-Eyed Monster'? No matter which one you choose, my 'Mahavilu' will attack the 'Seal Lock', dealing 3550 HP of damage to your health. β
"......" Xuan didn't rush to choose, he didn't know when it started, he kept his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking. This unserious attitude caused Makishima's dissatisfaction, and the handsome young man urged with a cold face, "What are you waiting for, Miss Kobayashi!" There's only a lot of time to think about each turn, so hurry up and make a decision so that I can win this duel and the glory of being the Chosen One, along with your 'True Red-Eyed Black Dragon'!" β
However, no matter how anxious Maki Island was, Gen was unmoved. At this point he was thinking about another important matter.
β¦β¦
Hyun is now calling the system in the spirit world.
"Time is limited, Amilia, tell me where the game, Apricot and Yui are."
[Remind the host that this system is not clairvoyant and cannot know information from a distance-]
"Is that really the case? You could hear the conversation between your mother and Yui downstairs at home, and you showed me the video. β
[Yes.] Because the system will pay attention to collecting information that is helpful to the host, if the host does not get the prompt of the system, the host will have an 80% chance of failing the novice taskββ]
There were a few strange pauses in the system's words, and Hyun felt strange. Although the tasks assigned by this system to themselves are very tricky, it takes a lot of brain cells and a lot of effort to complete them every time, and I once thought that the system deliberately tricked myself; But from the tone of what the system has just "spoken", it is clear that there are signs of vacillation. It's like the tone of my roommate when I flew low at a low altitude with 60 points in the final exam of the previous college. Is this system worried about me?
"I see, you're with me, aren't you? What an unexpected piece of good news. β
[Thank you for your understanding.] This system is deeply distressed because it has not been able to answer the host's question, and the host's words are like charcoal in the snow, warming the systemββ]
After learning the definite answer, Hyun felt a little fever on his face. What does the distressed Emilia look like? Years of anime experience made Xuan quickly sketch a vivid scene in his mind, a blonde girl in a black and white maid costume frowned, distressed that she had nowhere to convey her feelings to her master, but was suddenly broken by the smart master, and instantly revealed a cheerful and smiling face. Emilia shouldn't be so cute!
"Ahem! Okay, okay, don't sell cute. Actually, you've helped me, Amilia. If the three of them were nearby, or sitting in a playhouse, you wouldn't be unanswered. Considering the range of action of high school students, the three of them must be in school. Is it going to happen anyway......"
Thinking of this, Xuan of the spirit world shook his head with an unwilling expression.
[Yes.] Because this is what must happen to this "route" chosen by the host. Not only will the "this" considered by the host happen, but there are also many "events" that need to be kept secret. Please rack your brains and continue to think, only by keeping thinking can the host survive-]
"I understand, the opponent is impatient to wait, so I'll go first."
[Host, please keep up the good workββ]
β¦β¦
Opening his eyes and looking around, Gen saw that every face had a quiet expression, and of course, this was the scene after removing his opponent. Makishima is now staring at him anxiously, and if Genki returns to reality, I'm afraid Makishima will have to call the referee to abstain from voting. Deliberately delaying time in the duel, if it was at the original time, I am afraid that I would have been sentenced to DQ. Before the matter is too big, apologize quickly.
"I'm sorry I was thinking about something else and I was delaying you." Hyun bowed his head deeply, doing his best to make everyone feel sincere.
"Tsk, I won't blame you, that's it." Makishima returned to his indifferent expression and continued, "So Miss Kobayashi, which monster are you going to give me control?" β
"I'll make a decision right away!" After making a guarantee, General Xuan's hand swept over the monster in turn, and the words in his mouth were chanted, "Okay, which child to choose?" The 'Three-Eyed Monster' is still a baby and can't leave my care, so it's not good;The Earth Star Swordsman" is dressed shabby, and if you go out without equipment, you'll be bullied by the bad guys, so it's not okay;The 'Command Knight' is my right-hand man, and I'll be sad to lose her, so I can't hand it over to you~~"
In the end, General Xuan stopped his hand on the "Giant Axe Raider" and said, "It's decided, I choose the 'Giant Axe Raider' and exchange control with your 'Seal Lock'." β
Taking care not to hurt the frame of the card, Gen carefully picked it up from the table and stretched out his arm to hand it to Makishima. The white-haired boy also politely took the "Giant Axe Raider" and gently placed it in the vacated position of "Seal Lock".
"I don't know what your idea is, but my plan won't change." Makishima's face was indifferent, and he waved his arms handsomely, "Beautiful flowers will eventually wither and wither, this is the fate of all species that have life, so it is better to stay in the posture of finally blooming dazzlingly." I'll pay 500 HP, 'Mahavilu', to break the 'Seal Lock'! β
At this moment, the corners of Xuan's mouth were gently lifted to both sides.
"Maki Island Shogo, do you remember what I said at the beginning of the round?"
"What?"
Hearing the beautiful boy's rhetorical question as he expected, Hyun seemed very happy. He placed the center of his right fist outward in front of his left eye, raised his index finger and quickly swiped it in front of his face, revealing the cute expression of closing his left eye when he was blocked by his right hand just now, and replied confidently, "That sentence is; The duel will be decided in this round! β
Then, Xuan flipped through the card he had covered in the third round and said loudly: "Open the fold 'Magic Arm Shield', according to its effect, when the monster on my field is attacked, you can use one of the opponent's monsters other than the attacking monster as a shield." The monster I'm going to choose isβ"
"Attack the 'Giant Axe Raider'!"
Makishima's pupils narrowed sharply, and he said with a flustered expression: "It's okay, the difference between the attack power of the 'Giant Axe Raider' and the 'Mahavilu' is only 1450, I haven't lost yet, Miss Kobayashi, your prophecy has failed!" β
"Oh? Mr. Makishima, do the math again. Xuan said with a triumphant smile, "The 'Command Knight' only strengthens your own warrior monsters, and by the time the 'Giant Axe Raider' runs to your field, its attack power has already become 2700!" Subtract 2700 from 4550 and your health will take 1850 damage! β
"And I paid another 500 cents according to the 'toll tax' for the attack." Zero health! Makishima Shogo hung his head helplessly, "I lost, it was a wonderful duel." ββ¦β¦ The effect of the magic arm shield is the original version, and OCG's magic arm shield is self-inflicted damage.
