Faced with the tidal wave of doubts and uproar from the stands, Yūki did not even furrow his brow.
He merely raised his hand and lightly tapped the device glowing with a strange fluorescence on Cyber-Stein's chest with his index finger.
"What's the rush?"
Yūki's voice carried clearly through his Duel Disk's speakers.
"Before you duel, you should at least pass basic reading comprehension, shouldn't you?"
"[Telekinetic Power Well]'s effect: only Psychic-Type monsters can equip it. The Life Points paid to activate the equipped monster's effects... are no longer required."
As his calm words fell, the roar throughout the arena seemed to be abruptly cut off by an invisible hand.
Several students who had just been shouting themselves hoarse about cheating choked on their words, their expressions frozen like ridiculous statues.
"No longer... required?!"
Paradox stared fixedly at that intricate metal exoskeleton, veins throbbing wildly at his temples.
"In other words... by changing its Type, you completely erased... the activation cost of five thousand Life Points?!"
His younger brother Gong's expression was equally grim.
The hefty threshold of five thousand Life Points had actually been crossed so effortlessly with a seemingly unremarkable Equip Spell Card!
But he took a deep breath, forced himself to steady his nerves, and folded his arms with a sneer.
"Hmph, nothing but a cheap little trick!"
"So what if you don't have to lose Life Points? You spent three whole cards just to bring out one monster with twenty-eight hundred ATK? The two guardian deities on our field aren't pushovers!"
"It's just a mere Fusion Monster. You think you can break through our defenses with that? What else can you do?!"
Watching the pair continue to talk tough, Yūki's lips curved into a playful smile.
He raised his right hand and pointed twice toward Cyber-Stein
