"Huh?"
Everyone is familiar with this card.
But the problem is, Yuya doesn't have any Spell Trap Cards on the field!
"Really none?"
Really none, right—
The crowd looks at the light pillar.
"Could it be?"
"That's my thought too." Muto Yugi holds up the card, pondering, "Even though it exists in a new grid, since it's a grid, shouldn't it be used as a card? If it can't be attacked... then could it, like a toy, actually be [Magic]?"
A wild wind blows, Sakaki Yuya looks to his side, where two Performapals in the light pillar are blown away by the wind, screaming as they turn into light points.
However...
They are not banished, but appear at the top of Yuya's Extra Deck.
"Thank goodness..." Yuya breathes a sigh of relief.
"Huh? Aren't monsters supposed to be banished? How did they end up in the Extra Deck." A child can't seem to understand.
"It seems just as Mr. Yugi said," Sora Shiunin bites into a chocolate bar he switched to at some point, making a crisp sound, and says, "The two monsters used as Pendulum Cards are indeed considered as Spell Card or Trap Card, and when destroyed, because they are [Spell Card], they won't be banished, but rather handled like Pendulum Monster commonly does."
"Truly... A game designer, with such a precise understanding of details." Yuzu can't help but praise.
Moreover, she's no longer worried like she was at first.
Because this Mr. Muto Yugi seems not only rational but wise, guiding Yuya out of the shadows...
However, at this moment...
With crackling sounds, a group of people in black rush into the Dueling Arena, looking at Muto Yugi and shouting urgently: "Please stop, this duel is not suitable to continue!"
Yugi gives them a glance, still kindly: "Sorry, everyone, I'm in a duel with this young man. If there's something, can we discuss it after the duel? My apologies."
The black-clad men glance at each other, unsure.
At this moment, the president of Leo Company, Akaba Reiji arrives, the black-clad men quickly greet him, he nods lightly, indicating understanding.
"Akaba Ling'Er..." Yuya sees him, feeling slightly conflicted.
But then, he recalls what Muto Yugi just said.
Right—
The real focus shouldn't be monopolizing, if only I monopolize, will everyone be happy together?
What I should do is understand and comprehend Pendulum more.
"Please continue the duel, Mr. Yugi." Sakaki Yuya quickly calls out.
The black-clad men look at Akaba Ling'Er, Akaba Ling'Er hesitates for a moment, adjusts his glasses, and nods again.
It seems, it's fine now.
At this moment, Yuya already knows, he's likely... almost certainly not a match for the man in front of him, but he really wants to try more.
"Then... I'll set two cards, activate Toy Box's effect, and cover Toy Soldier from the Graveyard."
Silent Magician, ATK: 4000→3000.
The field is full again.
Sakaki Yuya only feels his stomach churn.
Although Mr. Yugi speaks so pleasantly, why... does it feel so uncomfortable.
"Come on, Yuya! Although your field is empty, you have 7 cards in hand now, still a strong advantage! Silent Magician now only has 3000 ATK!"
Hikari once again cheers for Yuya.
Of course, he knows.
The advantage of Pendulum Summon is being able to Special Summon from the Extra Deck repeatedly.
Just now he has the perfect scale in hand.
"I'll set Stargazer Magician with Scale 1 and Timegazer Magician with Scale 8 as Pendulum Scales..."
"Wait."
Just as Yuya is about to set the two monsters into the Pendulum zones as usual, Yugi suddenly interrupts him: "Which are you going to set first?"
This question stunts Yuya a bit, hesitating for a moment, he says: "Um... Timegazer?"
"Then, activate Silent Magician's effect."
!!
"Once per turn, when a Spell Card is activated, you can activate. That activation is negated."
Advantage sees Timegazer Magician flickering and then disappearing from the field and... sent to the Graveyard!
"Huh?"
This scene confuses the children again: "No, shouldn't it go to the Extra?"
"...Did it fail to activate?"
"Indeed." Akaba Ling'Er adjusts his glasses, "A negated Pendulum Card, lacking Pendulum's attributes, will directly go to the Graveyard?"
Is that right?
Yuya realizes.
If so, then he can't use this set of scales.
Fortunately, he has another Scale 8 in hand.
"I'll set Stargazer Magician with Scale 1 and Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn with Scale 8 as P Scales."
Though not a pair of magicians, Odd-Eyes Unicorn is also Odd-Eyes, preventing the magician's scale from changing to 4.
"With this, I can Special Summon monsters from LV 2 to LV 7 at the same time!"
Although Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon is banished, it's not a big problem, Special Summoning 5 monsters each turn, it can be sustained—
"Come forth, my monsters!!"
He rushes to Special Summon all of the monsters from the Extra Deck and the two Pendulum Monsters in his hand.
"5!?"
"Wow, that's amazing, thinking that you can Special Summon 5 monsters every turn, feels tough..."
The black-clad men whisper to each other.
However, at this moment, Yugi can't help but shake his head: "This won't do, Yuya."
