I Have a Card Here, and It Needs to Go to You

This is Jinzo.

Back in the day, this card was a real standout.

However, because the environment didn't have many heavy trap cards, it wasn't played as much. It was mainly used for Tribute Summons; if it could be special summoned, it would be a god-tier card.

Of course, if you have a dedicated deck, special summoning it is quite easy.

Jinzo

Dark/Level 6/Machine

ATK: 2400/DEF: 1500

Huang Tianhai finally broke into a sinister grin, a hint of Face Art already showing. His lips peeled back, and his hands curled into claws, snatching at the air as if shadows danced across his face.

"Heh heh!! As long as this card remains in the Monster Zone, neither player can activate the effects of Trap Cards on the field, and the effects of Trap Cards on the field are negated."

"With this one card, I'll be able to crush you two lovebirds!"

"I'll return all the humiliation I suffered earlier, in full!"

Huang Tianhai was clearly enraged by the earlier life point reduction of over 3000. His emotions had erupted, and his words were completely out of line.

He completely forgot that this was the Collegiate League, not just a casual duel.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke.

Many people began to denounce him, verbally attacking him.

"Is he seriously losing it? Calling them 'lovebirds' directly?"

"While I also hate that I can't get favored by beautiful women, swearing in a duel is just so low-class."

"Tsk tsk, and he's a student from First High School, with that kind of behavior."

The murmurs instantly broke out.

Lin Yingying couldn't help but remind him, "Student Huang!"

Huang Tianhai finally realized he had made a huge mistake. He was so caught up in the moment that he blurted out some low-class language. Now he was screwed.

No matter if he won or lost, he was guaranteed to be flamed.

If he won, maybe the criticism would be softer, but if he lost, he'd be utterly disgraced.

The school would definitely punish him too.

Damn it!

It was all because of those two lovebirds, not playing a proper duel and insisting on these disgusting tricks, making him lose his cool.

There was no turning back now.

He had to win.

But with this card out, he was pretty much set.

Hua Ningning narrowed her eyes, an unpleasant expression on her pretty face. This was the first time she had been called a "lovebird." Just wait, this wasn't over. She wasn't someone who would just swallow her anger.

As for You Chen, he yawned, seemingly unconcerned, completely unfazed.

Even with Jinzo's appearance, everyone was worried for him, but he wasn't in a hurry at all.

It was impossible to read him, impossible to figure him out.

"It's not over yet! I'm Special Summoning Cybernetic Cyclops from my hand!!"

"If the number of Spell/Trap Cards on your opponent's field is greater than on your field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand."

"Come forth!! Cybernetic Cyclops!"

Huang Tianhai raised his hand high, his expression even more excited, and let out a shout.

In front of him, a light burst forth, streaked with lightning.

Within the enveloping light, a golden figure lunged out.

A massive golden giant, with red blade rings on its wrists.

Cybernetic Cyclops

Dark/Level 6/Machine

ATK: 2200/DEF: 1200

"Even so, you still can't use trap cards. Neither of us can, and I'm not entirely against that."

Hua Ningning mused.

Huang Tianhai's mouth twitched when he heard that.

"You're thinking too much. We're not affected."

Hua Ningning frowned, surprised, when she heard this. "What?"

Huang Tianhai then clamped a card between two fingers and brandished it!

"Because I'm also activating an Equip Spell Card, Cybernetic Amplifier!"

"Only Jinzo can equip this card. The activation and effects of this card cannot be negated."

"The equipped Monster's effect of 'Neither player can activate Trap Card effects on the field, and Trap Card effects on the field are negated' now applies as 'Your opponent cannot activate Trap Card effects on the field, and your opponent's Trap Card effects on the field are negated.'"

"Heh heh! What do you think?"

"I'll set one card face down and end my turn!"

"Please, begin your performance. Keep activating your red traps. I love to watch, I want to enjoy your red trap bombardment!"

Huang Tianhai was clearly gloating, talking about enjoying a red trap bombardment, which was undoubtedly a blatant provocation.

His smug expression annoyed many people.

However, this move certainly elicited gasps from the surrounding audience once more.

Huang Tianhai's hand was undoubtedly a perfect draw.

Jinzo, Cybernetic Cyclops, and Cybernetic Amplifier!

This was a god draw!

First High School students' cheers and shouts of encouragement were already growing louder.

The situation was quite stable now.

Once Jinzo came out, it was already very difficult for the opponent to win.

Not to mention dealing with an Underworld Deck, that made it even more hopeless.

You Chen heard that his opponent's turn had ended. Only then did he place two fingers on top of his deck and slowly draw a card.

"Alright, I didn't realize you had such a… particular hobby."

"The last Tyrannosaurus Rex who asked for that, I made sure he was very satisfied; he even roared with pleasure."

"And this time, your request is just as exciting."

"Well, I can only try my best to fulfill it."

You Chen's words made everyone stifle their laughter. Those who didn't know him might actually think he was genuinely enthusiastic.

"Haha, how can You Chen still be so relaxed?"

"How is he going to deal with the opponent's Jinzo?"

"Something's not right. Shouldn't he be frowning in worry right now?"

"Could there be a comeback?"

In the arena with tens of thousands of spectators, discussions rose and fell.

Not only the audience, but even Principal Chen of First High School and Principal Hua of High School Nine couldn't help but engage in a war of words.

"Principal Hua, it seems your High School Nine's analysis and deck building are lacking. I didn't expect you to be so good at talking tough. At this point, you don't seriously think there's still a solution, do you?"

Principal Chen's lips curled into a smug smile.

Principal Hua, unwilling to be outdone, said in a deep voice, "Maybe a magic card can solve it? Aren't you afraid of celebrating too early, Principal Chen?"

Principal Chen shrugged indifferently. "Most known magic card destructions are ridiculously expensive. Those cards that can clear the field aren't cheap, so I don't think your student has one."

"So, it's basically waiting for death."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the analysts have already investigated You Chen's financial background."

Hearing this, Principal Hua's expression grew even uglier.

What kind of analyst was this? A spy!

It was just a duel, why were they going to such extremes?

The next moment, while everyone was discussing, Hua Ningning also looked anxiously at You Chen, wondering if he could clear the field. If he couldn't, this two-person duel might truly be over.

But for some reason, meeting his gaze always gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

"Just now, Hua Ningning gave you a gift."

"I also have a gift for you here."

"Hmm, this card says it wants to go to you. Please cherish it."

You Chen held a card between two fingers, slowly flipping it over as he spoke.
