"Forced Transfer!?"
Oyama's face darkened.
"That's right. I choose 'Killer Tomato' on my field, and the selected monster is transferred to the opponent's field," Yugen smiled, "And you also need to select a monster to exchange control with me... Of course, you only have one monster on your field."
"Tch..."
With a calm face, Oyama could only select the only monster on his field, "Despair from the Darkness."
Thus, the demon moved to Yugen's side, while the little tomato happily jumped over to Oyama's field.
"Continuing with the battle phase," Yugen said, "Dragonbone Ghost, attack 'Killer Tomato.'
Dragonbone Ghost flew forward, its skeletal iron fist ruthlessly smashing the little tomato's body. The little tomato shattered into fragments, and Oyama braced his arms in front of him, his robust frame steadily taking the damage.
[Oyama, LP 4000 → LP 3000]
"At this moment, 'Killer Tomato's' effect activates," Yugen said, "When this card is sent to the graveyard through battle, Special Summon a Dark Attribute monster with 1500 or less Attack Power from the Deck."
Marufuji Sho was surprised again: "Huh? But wasn't the tomato destroyed on the opponent's field? Shouldn't the opponent's deck be searched then...?"
"When resolving the effect, Killer Tomato has already returned to the original owner's graveyard, so it's obviously Yugen's search," Hayato said.
"I see," Marufuji Sho glanced at Hayato, "Even you know this, Hayato..."
Marufuji Sho suddenly realized that among them, he was the only rookie...
"According to Killer Tomato's effect, Special Summon 'Leader - Zarug' from the Card Deck."
[Leader - Zarug, Attack Power 1400]
Oyama remained calm: "Using Forced Transfer, making me take the damage, yet allowing yourself to search from the deck?"
"Then, 'Despair from the Darkness,' direct attack," Yugen said.
Hayato said: "Excellent, if this leads to a two-hit combo, Yugen would win directly!"
But Asuka was not so optimistic: "Will it be that simple?"
Sure enough, Oyama said: "Then activate the Trap 'Absorption Shield!' Opponent's attack is invalidated, and I regain Life Points equal to the attacking monster's Attack Power!"
A colorful protective shield appeared, and the demon's heavy punch pounded on the shield, but its force was entirely absorbed.
[Oyama, LP 3000 → LP 5800]
As expected, he chose to use the trap to defend against the attack of the highest Attack Power monster, Despair from the Darkness.
"Then, 'Leader - Zarug' direct attack."
Zarug pulled out a gun, firing two shots, one bullet pierced through Oyama's heart, the other shot through one of the cards in his hand.
"Ugh..."
[Oyama, LP 5800 → LP 4400]
"Zarug's effect: when it inflicts battle damage, the opponent randomly discards a card from their hand."
Oyama looked at the card in his hand with a bullet hole through it and suddenly chuckled lightly.
"Heh, unfortunately, your monster hit the card I just drew into my hand..."
He revealed the card in his hand.
"Magic Card 'Card of Compensation,' when sent from the hand to the graveyard, draw two cards!" (Original Card)
"Again, a counter effect," Marufuji Sho frowned, "This guy seems to have a really strong draw."
Judai rubbed his hands: "Interesting, I want to try playing against him too."
Yugen: "Then, I'll set two more cards and end my turn."
"At this moment, I'll activate the remaining set card!"
Oyama's Trap in the backfield flipped over.
"Continuous Trap - Miracle Draw!" Oyama said, "During the Draw Phase, declare a card name. If I draw the declared card, I'll inflict 1000 damage to the opponent. If I declare wrong, I'll take 1000 damage!" (Original Card)
The Continuous Trap used by Oyama against Judai in the animation.
Everyone was taken aback.
"What kind of crazy trap is this!?" Asuka frowned.
"And declaring a card from a whole deck? Isn't it almost impossible?" Marufuji Sho also found it absurd, "The probability of taking self-inflicted damage should be much higher..."
"Interesting, really interesting." Judai's eyes sparkled.
"Then it's my turn, and I'll draw!"
Oyama closed his eyes, placing his fingertips on the top card of his deck, as if fully immersed in the moment of drawing the card.
"The essence of drawing is like flowing water, eternally unchanged. I can feel it, I can feel that my next card is—
—Card-Stealing Thief!" (Original Card)
Oyama swiftly drew a card and immediately displayed it; indeed, it was the Ordinary Magic Card "Card-Stealing Thief" that he declared.
"No way, he actually got it!?" Marufuji Sho was astonished.
Asuka was momentarily speechless, just observing this student who seemed like a wild man.
Could it be that this person actually practiced in the mountains and acquired the power to foresee destiny in a duel?
"Therefore, you will take 1000 points of damage," Oyama said.
"He actually hit it, impressive," Yugen said, "Then I'll activate the trap 'Energy Absorption Plate.' Convert the effect damage from the opponent's card into Life Points recovery of the same value."
A version of Absorption Shield for effect damage. A gigantic rectangular absorption plate appeared in front of him, with the energy from it piercing through, turning into golden light that descended into Yugen's body.
[Yugen, LP 1400 → LP 2400]
"Oh, as expected of Yugen." Judai was delighted, "It's not that easy to defeat him."
Oyama nodded with satisfaction: "Without such an opponent, there's no way to test the fruits of my training.
Then, I'll activate the card I drew from my hand, the Magic Card 'Card-Stealing Thief'!
Let the opponent draw a card from the deck. If I can guess the type of card drawn (Magic, Trap, Monster), then all cards in the opponent's hand and on their field are returned to the deck and shuffled!"
The same original card used by Oyama against Judai in the animation.
Everyone was surprised again: "What kind of crazy effect is this?"
Asuka looked at Oyama with curiosity: "Not only can you predict your own draws, but you can predict the opponent's draws too?"
This is already in the realm of superpower, right?
Yugen drew a card as requested.
Oyama closed his eyes, pondering for a moment.
Then abruptly opened his eyes, striking a "the culprit is you" death-god-esque pose with a shout: "You drew a Magic Card!"
Yugen chuckled and revealed the card he drew.
Magic Card - Pot of Greed.
"Indeed."
However, Oyama seemed to be somewhat restrained here. In the animation, when using "Card-Stealing Thief," he not only saw through Judai's magic card but also accurately pinpointed it as "Fusion Dispel."
To guess the exact card is firmly within the superpower domain.
Of course, this performance doesn't seem absolutely stable. In the creator's next turn, when Oyama guessed his own draw, he guessed wrong. Judging by his expression, he seemed to be ultimately overwhelmed by Judai's "momentum," his mind faltered, and his draws collapsed.
"Therefore, according to 'Card-Stealing Thief's' effect."
Oyama waved his hand broadly.
"All cards in your hand and on your field, return to the deck and shuffle!"
