"My turn, activating the Spell Card, Pot of Greed."
He drew two cards.
Hmm, Morphing Jar?
Although not the best choice, it's good to draw this card.
"Set a Monster."
Then he looked at the other cards in his hand, chuckling.
"Set three cards, ending the turn."
"It's ending like that again."
"Damn it, does he just want to destroy all of Brother Hikari's deck!?"
"This, is Brother Hikari okay? I saw a lot of Fusion Cards sent to the Graveyard..."
The murmurs among the classmates grew louder.
At this moment——
Tenjo Hikari instead smiled.
"My turn, draw!"
Tenjo Hikari drew a card with vigor, the card sweeping through the air like a blade.
But——
It doesn't matter what I draw!
"Activate the effect of Thunder Dragon Fusion in the Graveyard!" Tenjo Hikari pointed to the field, "Not in the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard, banish this card, add a Thunder-Type Monster from the Deck to the Hand Card!"
"I'll add the Gem-Knight Tourmaline from the Deck to the Hand Card!"
"And it's not over——activate the effect of Gem-Knight Fusion in the Graveyard, when this card is in the Graveyard, banish a Gem-Knight Monster from the Graveyard, add this card to the Hand Card!"
"I'll banish Gem-Knight Lapis from the Graveyard, to add this card to the Hand Card!"
"This..." Ex couldn't help but step back, "It's actually Graveyard effects?"
"As expected of Brother Hikari, even if cards are sent to the Graveyard, he can still perform Fusion."
"With this, Brother Hikari can use Gem-Knight Fusion and Tourmaline to fuse into Prism Crystal!"
"Indeed, and like this, Brother Hikari can even use the effect of Gem-Knight Fusion to recycle Gem-Knight Fusion, and then use Prism Crystal's effect to destroy Monster counters!"
Everyone basically understood Tenjo Hikari's Deck, they were also familiar with the Fusion Spell Cards he often used, so when Tenjo Hikari made his move, they figured it out.
Using Thunder Dragon on the field and Tourmaline in hand to perform Fusion, although losing another 7 cards from the Deck, it can destroy Monster counters.
Without the Monster counters, the Monsters on Ex's field are but lambs to the slaughter?
"Hum, hum, hum, you want to fuse?" At this moment, Ex chuckled, "Naive, naive—did you think I wouldn't foresee this!?"
"Activate two Set Cards—Success Rate 0!"
Huh?
Tenjo Hikari slowly widened his eyes.
"Oh no!" Mitsuzawa Daichi stood up and yelled.
"What's wrong, Mitsuzawa?" Judai asked.
"It's bad, the effect of that card is to destroy the Extra Deck!" Manjome also showed a shocked expression, "Tenjo seeks Fusion, but if he's unable to fuse, that would be ten times, even a hundred times more terrifying than destroying the Deck!?"
Destroy the Extra Deck?
Ed looked at his Deck.
His Extra had only five or six cards.
If his Extra Deck were destroyed, he could still use Main Deck Monsters to secure victory.
To him, one Trap Jammer and one Gravity Bind are no issue.
In face of this situation, Tenjo Hikari, what will be your judgment?
"Roar, finally showing a change of face?" Ex laughed seeing Hikari's shocked expression, "Feels so good, it's too good, seeing you Duelists with faith, having that faith shattered...
Success Rate 0 Card effect, randomly select 2 Fusion Monster Cards from the opponent's Extra Deck to send to the Graveyard, two means four cards."
Four cards?
Tenjo Hikari raised an eyebrow.
"Unlike the Main Deck limit of 40 to 60 cards, the Extra Deck can hold a maximum of 15 cards." A student explained.
In real Duels, often people don't calculate the Extra Deck.
But in this type of Duel, everyone calculates.
"Having used 1 Fusion Monster, still need to discard 4, this means your Fusion Deck will only have 10 cards left."
"Come, come, Tenjo Hikari, discard the cards." Ex, like a cashier, gently stretched out his hand, signaling Tenjo Hikari to confirm quickly.
"This really is..." Tenjo Hikari couldn't help but shake his head, "Alright. I have no cards to activate, so do as you wish."
As he spoke, Tenjo Hikari raised his left hand, letting the cashier-like machine randomly draw cards from his Extra Deck.
"Hum, hum, hum, ha ha ha, feels so good."
"Damn it, that guy, he actually dared to destroy Hikari's Fusion!!" Judai rarely showed anger.
To him, the greatest crime is destroying "Friendship" and "Bonds," for these are things he obtained with difficulty, thus treasured even more!
"Ugh..." Manjome felt a bit uneasy, "Can the guy Tenjo really endure such a thing?"
"Brother Hikari!!"
"Too despicable, do you have no dignity as a Professional Duelist?"
"A bit hard to watch—"
Yet just as everyone was tense, Tenjo Hikari waved dismissively.
"Everyone, it's unnecessary."
Eh?
Ex seemed to notice something.
Indeed——
Tenjo Hikari was merely [surprised], not [afraid] nor [fearful], a completely different emotion from the Duelists he'd previously faced!
How, how could this be?
"Classmates, perfect timing—this is a great opportunity." Tenjo Hikari coughed lightly, as he watched four purple cards sent to the Graveyard, "Recently, because of Caesar's situation, everyone seems agitated, now, it's an opportunity."
"Eh?"
"What does Brother Hikari mean?"
"Senior Tenjo, what are you saying, your Fusion Monsters are in the Graveyard——"
"No matter!!"
Tenjo Hikari smiled at his opponent, and just with a confident smile, shocked Ex who expected to see Hikari despair and suffer, causing him to retreat.
He was chosen by Saiou, possessing the destiny of [Death].
This foretells that many Duelists facing him, like reaped by death itself, lose passion and hope for Duels.
But——
But, Tenjo Hikari during this Duel seemed unaffected at all!
"I originally thought, this turn would be unable to defeat you, but I personally didn't expect events to unfold this way!"
What, what are you saying?
Defeat me?
Now!?
Tenjo Hikari waved a large hand: "My club members, witness my Duel, my [Fusion]!
Hand Card? Deck? Graveyard? Extra? Banish——
No, it makes no difference!
No matter where, no matter where my cards are, my pursuit in Duel is only [Fusion]!"
Tenjo Hikari squinted, unable to contain his excitement: "Activate the effect of Fusion Monsters sent to the Graveyard!"
When else could he encounter this good fortune!?
"Wh... what!?"
"Activate, El Shaddoll Wendigo's effect, activate Elder Entity N'tss's effect!"
