Hutou: 'Cover a card, end turn.'\Mitsuzawa: 'My turn, draw a card, activate the Spell Card Pot of Greed, draw two cards, then activate Angel's Gift, draw three cards, discard two cards. Looks like this deck can counter you too. I summon Oxygen Dragon (ATK 1800), then activate the Trap Card Blood Cost. For every 500 LP paid, I can perform another Normal Summon. I pay 1000 LP to summon two Hydrogen Dragons (ATK 1600), then activate the Spell Card Chemical Combination - H2O. The effect of this card is to use 2 'Hydrogen Dragons' and 1 'Oxygen Dragon' on your field as tribute to Special Summon 1 'Water Dragon' from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. Come forth, Water Dragon (ATK 2800)! Water Dragon's effect activates: As long as this card is face-up on the field, Pyro-attribute, Pyro-type monsters' ATK becomes 0. Blaze-eyed Pyro is also Pyro-attribute, so their ATK becomes 0. Water Dragon (ATK 2800) attacks Blaze-eyed Pyro's Avenger (ATK 0).'\Hutou: 'Don't ignore my set cards. I activate the Trap Card Nullification of Attacks; you know the familiar effect, I don't need to explain.'\Mitsuzawa: 'My turn ends.'\Hutou: 'My turn, draw a card. Water Dragon makes Pyro-attribute ATK 0, huh? Then I'll summon a new monster, summon Yagyu Yoshinori (Level 4, ATK 1600), activate its effect, Blooming Splendor, Special Summon Sword Princess - Yagyu Yoshinori (Level 8, ATK 2800), activate its effect, which allows it to take control of an opponent's monster once per turn. Water Dragon, come here. Yoshinori (ATK 2800) attacks Mitsuzawa (LP: 2500) directly.'\Mitsuzawa: 'Not so easy. I activate the Trap Card Nullification of Attacks: your attack is negated and your Battle Phase ends.' Hutou sighed: 'Sigh, losing now would have been fine, huh? But I have to endure one more turn. End turn.'\Mitsuzawa: 'I won't give up until the end. My turn, draw a card, activate the Spell Card Divine Treasure, both players draw until they have 6 cards, then activate the Spell Card Seizure to take back Water Dragon, activate Spell Recycle, discard two cards to add a Spell Card from the Graveyard to my hand. Water Dragon (ATK 2800) attacks Yoshinori (ATK 2800).'\Shou, watching the duel as Mitsuzawa attacks Yoshinori with Water Dragon instead of attacking Shana whose ATK has become 0, seemed puzzled and asked: 'Why is Mitsuzawa attacking Yoshinori instead of Shana? Wouldn't that destroy his own monster?'Asuka: "No matter what, Misawa is an outstanding student of Taiyo Kami, so he must have some strategy."
Houdou: "As expected of a theoretical genius. The card you just added from the graveyard to your hand is Chemical Combination - H2O, right? If I'm correct, you should have Time Goddess's Mischief either in your hand or on the field, which could deal with my two monsters—no, my two spirits."
Misawa: "Your written test would score zero. That's because you simply don't want to do it. You're right: the Water Dragon and the Righteous Fairy simultaneously disappeared from the field. Water Dragon's effect activates: when Water Dragon goes from the field to the graveyard, you can Special Summon two [Hydrogen Dragons] and one [Oxygen Dragon] from the graveyard. Then, I activate the spell card Chemical Combination - H2O, sending the two Hydrogen Dragons and the Oxygen Dragon on the field to the graveyard, Special Summoning Water Dragon (ATK 2800). Next, the Time Goddess's Mischief is activated. Returning again to my Battle Phase, Water Dragon (ATK 2800) attacks Shana (ATK 0). Houdou (LP 1200), end of turn."
After seeing his two monsters destroyed on the field, Houdou said to Misawa: "This turn is your last. Draw phase, activate the spell card Monster Reborn, revive Shana from the graveyard, and equip the spell artifact - Fireproof Ring. The monster equipped with this card will not be affected by FIRE attribute monster effects, and this card itself will not be affected by FIRE attribute monster effects either. Shana's effect activates: Heavenly Shattering, destroying all cards on the field, then Special Summon Punishment God - Alastor (ATK ?). This card's attack is equal to the total attack of the destroyed monsters on the field, but the Fireproof Ring's effect makes it so my Shana won't be destroyed, so only your cards are destroyed. Punishment God (ATK 2800), plus Water Dragon being destroyed, my Shana's attack returns to original, allowing two monsters to attack directly. Misawa (LP 0)."
Misawa: "I lost. Houdou, you're really strong!"
Houdou: "Still inexperienced, it's my first time using this deck and I actually let you destroy two monsters."
Everyone felt a bit embarrassed—after all, destroying just two monsters is quite common in a duel.
Asuka: "So that's your deck? Synchro Summons… can you finally tell me what it actually is?""Guard Hall looked at everyone's expression full of curiosity, cleared his throat twice: 'Synchro Summon, well, it's one Tuner monster, plus one or more non-Tuner monsters, the levels must equal the level of the Synchro Monster.' Everyone: '......That doesn't really explain anything, who even knows what a Synchro Monster is.' Guard Hall: 'The Shana I summoned is one.'\ While everyone was discussing Synchro Monsters, Professor Chronos took the stage and said: 'Tomorrow, Jaden and Guard Hall will duel to choose the academy's representative. That concludes today's session.' After learning that the duel with Jaden would be tomorrow, Guard Hall left the dueling field and headed towards the dormitory. As for their questions, he didn't care.
