Bastion Misawa's confidence didn't come out of nowhere.
Just as he said, he had already seen the HEROes' biggest weakness.
"After my all-night research, the strength of HEROes mostly lies in field clearing and effect destruction."
"However, the biggest problem with HEROes themselves is that their ATK is generally not high."
Bastion Misawa confidently expressed his views on the HERO Deck.
After a week of research, Bastion Misawa was very confident that HERO monsters' ATK would generally not exceed 3000.
Because whether it was Masked HERO Dark Law, Destiny HERO - Phoenix Enforcer, Elemental HERO Sunrise, or Elemental HERO Absolute Zero used by Jaden Yuki.
None of their ATK exceeded 3000.
Even with Elemental HERO Sunrise's effect boost, their ATK would at most be just over 3000, not much higher.
And faced with this obvious drawback, most people didn't dare to directly confront the HEROes' ATK problem.
Instead, they turned to other forms of lockdown.
Sealing the Extra Deck, sealing effects, sealing Special Summons.
These might place some restrictions on HEROes, but in the end, they would still lose to Jaden Yuki.
So, Bastion Misawa went against the grain, aiming to target the HEROes on this subtle yet fatal point of ATK.
"Activate Continuous Spell Card, [Aqua Spirit Charm]!"
Bastion Misawa activated another card.
"As long as this card remains on the field, all WATER monsters on my field cannot be destroyed by my opponent's card effects!"
Boom!
Waves instantly surged in the ocean layer.
Amidst the surprised expressions of the students, a giant charm stood behind Bastion Misawa.
It completely protected the three Hydrogeddon monsters on his field.
"Is this to prevent HEROes' destruction effects?"
"Amazing! In that case, Jaden Yuki's Elemental HERO Sunrise and Destiny HERO - Phoenix Enforcer will be difficult to use!"
"Bastion Misawa is pretty capable, isn't he? It feels like he's a bit wasted in Ra Yellow."
The students exclaimed in admiration.
Being able to completely block Jaden Yuki's attack angles, Bastion Misawa's strength was indeed top-tier in Duel Academy.
"Activate Spell Card [Graceful Charity]! Draw three cards from my Deck, then choose two of them to discard."
Bastion Misawa drew three cards. When he saw one of them, his expression slightly froze.
Has it arrived, my sure-win card…
A smile unconsciously formed on his lips, and Bastion Misawa sent that card, along with another, to the Graveyard.
"Then, I Set two cards."
Bastion Misawa Set the cards on the field, and a flash of sure-win light gleamed in his eyes as he looked at the two cards in his hand.
"As long as Jaden Yuki Summons a monster..."
"My victory will arrive!"
"With that, I end my turn!"
Bastion Misawa loudly declared the end of his turn.
At this moment, all eyes in the audience focused on Jaden Yuki.
Anyone with a keen eye could tell that the two cards Bastion Misawa Set definitely posed a problem.
Currently, the situation on the field was so severe.
And because of the Field Spell 'Umiiruka', the ATK of all WATER monsters on the field was boosted.
If Jaden Yuki's HEROes couldn't choose a frontal breakthrough…
However, many students noticed.
Even when faced with this situation, Jaden Yuki's face showed no change in expression.
It seemed.
Everything was under his control.
"My turn, Draw Card...!"
Jaden Yuki drew a card from the top of his Deck.
[Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier]!
Looking at the card in his hand, Jaden Yuki's mind had already outlined the blueprint for victory.
With the card between his fingers, Jaden Yuki looked at Bastion Misawa in front of him and said, "Misawa, if you think that 3000 ATK is the limit for HEROes."
"Then you're gravely mistaken."
"I activate the effect of [Phantom HERO - Bionic Man], banishing [Vision HERO Faris] from my Graveyard."
"From my Deck, I add one Fusion Spell Card to my hand."
Polymerization!
Seeing this card, many people's eyes lit up, revealing surprised expressions.
It's here! The soul card of the HERO Deck!
Everyone watched eagerly.
Bastion Misawa also swallowed, nervously observing Jaden Yuki's actions.
"Activate Spell Card! [Polymerization]!"
"I send [Elemental HERO Shadow Mist] and [Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier] from my hand to the Graveyard!"
"Fusion Summon, [Elemental HERO Sunrise]!"
A colorful Fusion vortex expanded behind Jaden Yuki.
Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier, clad in indigo armor, and Elemental HERO Shadow Mist, a female HERO in black armor, leapt into the vortex.
"Hmph!"
With a roar.
The fiery red HERO, clad in a blue cape, burst forth from the colorful vortex.
The dazzling light immediately caused countless students to gasp in astonishment.
[Elemental HERO Sunrise]
[Level: 7]
[ATK: 2500, DEF: 1200]
"Is it here? The combo of Elemental HERO Sunrise and Elemental HERO Absolute Zero!"
Bastion Misawa gritted his teeth, nervously staring at the current situation.
"When Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier is used as Fusion Material and sent to the Graveyard, I can draw two cards from my Deck and discard one card from my hand."
"Then, according to Elemental HERO Sunrise's effect, I add one [Miracle Fusion] from my Deck to my hand."
"And when Elemental HERO Shadow Mist is sent to the Graveyard, I can add one HERO monster from my Deck to my hand."
A standard and smooth chain reaction instantly replenished Jaden Yuki's hand, which had only one card left, to five cards.
"I send [Destiny HERO - Destructive Guy] which I just added to my hand to the Graveyard, then activate [Miracle Fusion]!"
"I banish [Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier] and [Elemental HERO Stratos] from my Graveyard to Special Summon [Elemental HERO Absolute Zero] from my Extra Deck!"
Light flashed in Jaden Yuki's Duel Disk.
The two HEROes in the Graveyard fused once more.
A white cape fluttered in the wind, and a pure white HERO appeared on Jaden Yuki's field, stirring up a light blue ice mist.
[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero]
[Level: 8]
[ATK: 2500, DEF: 2000]
Elemental HERO Sunrise and Elemental HERO Absolute Zero exchanged glances, then simultaneously turned their gazes towards the three Hydrogeddon monsters on Bastion Misawa's field.
"They're here! Elemental HERO Sunrise and Elemental HERO Absolute Zero's standard HERO combo!"
"So cool! These two HEROes are on the field together again!"
"Oh, with two HEROes standing on the field, that's a lot of security!"
The appearance of the two HEROes immediately sparked a heated discussion among the students.
What could be more exciting than witnessing two HEROes make a dazzling entrance?
"Now!" However, at this moment, Bastion Misawa also showed an excited expression.
"Open face-down card! [Vivid Tail]! Target one card on your field, return that card to its owner's hand!"
"I choose to return one [Hydrogeddon] on my field to my hand!"
The Hydrogeddon with the lowest ATK on Bastion Misawa's field instantly transformed into a ray of light and returned to Bastion Misawa's hand.
Immediately after.
Bastion Misawa waved his hand, and his second face-down card was also activated.
"Then! All the preparations I made to defeat you are complete! Jaden Yuki!"
"Let me show you the perfect plan I designed to defeat you!"
"!!!"
Bastion Misawa's loud declaration energized everyone present.
All eyes converged on the face-down card Bastion Misawa had just revealed.
[Bonding - DHO]!
"This… this card."
Zane Truesdale was momentarily stunned, his expression showing a hint of shock, "Could it be that Bastion Misawa really has a chance to defeat Jaden Yuki?"
"What's wrong? Does this card have some special effect?" Alexis Rhodes asked anxiously, looking at Zane Truesdale.
"It's coming, the calm before the storm," Zane Truesdale muttered, frowning.
The ocean summoned by the Field Spell churned with massive waves.
Mountain-high waves erupted behind Bastion Misawa.
A thick bolt of lightning momentarily illuminated the entire cloud-covered sea.
"Return one [Hydrogeddon], [Duoterion], and [Oxygeddon] each from my hand to my Deck!" Bastion Misawa raised the three cards in his hand.
The three cards immediately transformed into rays of light soaring into the sky and returned to Bastion Misawa's Duel Disk.
"Special Summon one [Water Dragon Cluster] from my hand or Graveyard!"
From the Graveyard, a light blue glow flashed and disappeared.
"Roar!!!"
The surging waves behind Bastion Misawa transformed into two giant red-eyed Water Dragons, standing tall behind him.
[Water Dragon Cluster]
[Level: 10]
[ATK: 2800 → 3300, DEF: 2600 → 400]
"What, what is that!"
The appearance of the Water Dragon caused all the students on the field to gasp in surprise.
"Such a powerful monster!"
"Le... Level 10?!"
"And, because of Umiiruka, this monster's ATK is 3300!"
Listening to the astonished shouts around him,
Bastion Misawa's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Jaden Yuki.
"When Water Dragon Cluster is Special Summoned, all Effect Monsters on your opponent's field have their ATK become 0!"
"Also, their effects cannot be activated!"
The waves swept over Elemental HERO Sunrise and Elemental HERO Absolute Zero.
In front of the towering waves, the two HEROes seemed like two small boats, swaying precariously.
[Elemental HERO Sunrise: ATK 2500 → 0]
[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero: ATK 2500 → 0]
"All their ATK became 0?!"
"No way!" Alexis Rhodes turned pale with fright, looking in shock at Jaden Yuki's HEROes on the field, who had completely lost their combat power.
"Could it be that in the face of absolute intellect, the gap in strength can really be infinitely narrowed?" Zane Truesdale muttered in a low voice, his face also filled with disbelief.
No!
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Because he clearly saw a triumphant smile on Jaden Yuki's face.
