Chapter 396 The Little KC Cup Ends
"You... your End Sigma isn't affected by the effects of cards other than the Slash card, is it?"
"Looks like you're really panicking. The release of [Synchro Barrier] is a cost, not an effect."
"Damn it!" This is really bad!
Results settlement
C4 Synchro Barrier effect activated successfully.
The C3 spell card "Monster Resurrection" was successfully activated, and the Fallen Angel Nurse - Refikul was resurrected.
C2 successfully activated the offering to the deceased; [Slash Machine + Weapon] destroyed.
C1宵星之闪光发动成功，0只效果适用，狄星生命值减半3500/2=1750
Di Xing's actions, though seemingly swift and decisive, resulted in his life points being halved. Now he only had one Manjusaka in his hand and one Fallen Angel Nurse in defensive position on the field. He couldn't draw cards next turn either, and it seemed he was truly doomed. However, it wasn't over yet; a voice from the opponent came through.
"Since Sigma the End was sent to the Graveyard, I also sent Nayuya the Machine Slayer to the Graveyard, triggering its effect. If it is sent from the Spell & Trap Zone to the Graveyard, I target 1 other Machine Slayer card in my Graveyard, add that card to my hand, and add 'Machine Slayer: Enbu' to my hand."
"They've taken back Yuan Shen again?" Di Xing was almost numb.
"Shooting Star, you're definitely going to lose this time!" The little dinosaur's innocent voice dealt Di Xing another heavy blow.
"It's not over yet, I haven't lost." Di Xing mechanically turned his head towards his graveyard. Now, he had no choice but to use the last trick he had reserved in his deck.
"I'm going to activate a trap card!"
"Oh? But you don't have any face-down cards on the field? Hmm? Could it be... the graveyard?"
"That's right, I banish the Graveyard's [Transaction Rewind], pay half of my Life Points, and activate the Graveyard's Trap Card [Heroic Gift]!"
Di Xing used the chain attack that ambushed the graveyard in the first round, and his life points were halved again: 1750/2 = 875.
"It's useless, I'm immune to any harm now," the opponent replied casually.
"I know, so the Hero's Gift isn't meant to hurt you. This card can only be activated when your base rank is below 2000, turning your base rank into 8000!"
"8000?" The other person said with some suspicion, "Just a heads up, because of the [Synchronization Barrier] effect, you can't damage me through the Fallen Angel Nurse's effect."
"I know that the effect of [Hero's Gift] is to directly 'increase' your health to 8000, and it won't trigger the Fallen Angel Nurse's effect."
"Are you crazy?" Bai Xi asked anxiously. "Why did you heal her so much?"
"Because the effect of [Hero's Gift] hasn't worn off yet, after instantly turning your HP into 8000, I can draw two cards! Draw cards!"
Di Xing drew two cards from his deck in one go, too nervous to look at them.
The girls, who hadn't considered Di Xing's concerns, looked at the two cards with suspicion. Mao Bohe was the first to react, "What is that card? You actually brought this card into a duel with only 4000 life points!"
Hearing Mao Bohe's words, Di Xing realized he had drawn the only card that allowed him to accept a duel. He then looked at the two cards and said, "I set two cards, set one monster, and end this turn."
"My turn, draw a card. During my Standby Phase, I activate the Spell Card 'Evil Ritual'. Change the battle positions of all monsters on the field, and for this turn, no monster battle position can be changed." The opponent was very confident; this was the decisive blow!
"You're too strong," Di Xing sighed, looking at the two monsters on his field that had been switched to attack position. "It's a pity I used a rather unconventional deck this time, so we'll have to leave the outcome for next time."
"What are you saying???"
"I activate the trap card [Self-Destruct Switch]!"
"What!???" The other side panicked for the first time.
Self-destruct switch: It can only be activated when your LP is more than 7000 less than your opponent's, and both of your LP will become 0 at the same time.
The girls in Hope Dormitory were also stunned. "But didn't the other side already activate [Synchro Barrier]? All damage should become 0!" Zhan asked, finally realizing what was happening.
"The [Self-Destruct Switch] directly reduces LP to 0, so it doesn't count as damage. This card is like [Hero's Gift]; its effect is very difficult to change," Mao Bohe explained to her.
"This card is just too difficult to activate. I've only seen it in Master Rule 8000 LP duels, where you use cards like [Divine Judgment] to quickly lower your life points to activate it. In the 4000 LP rule, this card is basically impossible to activate."
Di Xing was certainly aware of this. The [Self-Destruct Switch] was his last resort card when he couldn't draw both the Fallen Angel Nurse and the drug side effects at the same time. He would use [Gift Card], [Three Choices], and [Golden Goblin] to quickly increase the opponent's health, and then use the [Self-Destruct Switch] to take them down with him.
"So that's how it is. That's why you activated [Heroic Gift]? Hahaha, I'm truly impressed."
A button with a skull icon appeared on Di Xing's screen. Without hesitation, Di Xing clicked it. Instantly, flames from an explosion engulfed both players' screens, and both players' health points simultaneously reached zero.
"Then as you said, let's save the real battle for next time, but..."
Huh? Di Xing seemed to hear a soft chuckle from the other side.
"There's no average in the Little KC Cup competition because Ms. Ke Xue, the programmer, forgot to include that in the design."
"Holy crap, Ke Xue, can you be a little more reliable?" In Di Xing's mind, Ke Xue tapped her head and cutely stuck out her tongue, "Hehe!"
"So she made a patch: in case of a tie, both sides flip a coin to decide the winner. Teacher Ke Xue said, 'A match that calculates wins must have a winner.'"
"That's just her excuse!" Di Xing retorted without hesitation.
At this point, the game system scanned the remaining face-down card of Di Xing and discovered that it had the effect of "Fork in the Road of Fate," which could be used to toss a coin. Therefore, it forcibly activated the card (the effect is different; it simply activates the card to toss a coin).
A fork in the road appeared before both Di Xing and the person opposite him; one path led to victory, the other to death.
"Come on, didn't you say I had bad luck? Let's gamble again." The other person seemed quite happy.
"Okay, if I can beat you once in a coin toss, I can beat you a second time. I guess heads!"
A coin flew through the air, and Di Xing stared at it nervously. The student council president across from her gently tucked her pink hair behind her ear, chuckling as she watched the coin.
The coin fell during the viscous time, bounced three times on the ground, and then lay flat on its back. The result was reverse!
"Damn it!" Di Xing also fell straight backward. The girls all moved aside, and he crashed to the ground, tears streaming down his face from the pain. "Waaah, I'm not reconciled!" And just like that, his ranking was fixed at fourth place.
"What an interesting person! I really look forward to meeting you!" Student Council President Luo Jixian smiled happily, her stunning face reflected on the black computer screen opposite her, which displayed the words "YOU WIN" in red lettering.
"It seems there's a strange connection between us," she said, raising her beautiful chin, her gaze piercing through the ceiling, through the foundation of the second floor, and across the entire Durum Durand. "Father... I hope he can become... my helper."
However, Luo Jixian forgot that, as she herself said, her luck was conserved. She won against Di Xing this time by luck, but what would happen when she met Di Xing again... In short, their ill-fated relationship would far exceed her current expectations.
Meanwhile, Di Xing, who had already gotten up, was staring blankly at the card [Fork in the Road] that had popped out of the Duel Disk. On it, text visible only to him was appearing: Clue Card—Global Competition—000
000? Does this mean it's the first card story in this storyline? But this time, no memories flooded in. What card stories will unfold at this crossroads of fate? Di Xing was full of questions, but a green raindrop interrupted his thoughts.
Di Xing instantly felt refreshed, all the fatigue from a day of dueling in front of the computer vanished. "Awesome! What is this?"
"It was the magic card 'Rain of Grace' activated by the head of the school's medical department to alleviate everyone's fatigue across the entire academy," Bai Xi explained.
"That magic card can cover the entire school?"
"You don't even know this? Unlike monster cards, spell and trap cards don't have fixed levels. Their levels are determined by the amount of energy the card artist injects into them."
"The director used more energy than usual. This [Rain of Grace] is now at the second-tier village level. If enough energy is injected, the spell card could even become a world-class spell that can influence the world! Oh dear!" Bai Xi glanced at her watch.
"The awards ceremony is about to begin, let's hurry!"
"oh oh!"
Di Xing was pulled by Bai Xi towards the school playground. What he didn't notice was that when Bai Xi mentioned "world-class magic," the clue card [Fork in the Road of Fate] had flashed.
