#442 - Original Place
Finally, I can duel Judai again.
Gloria excitedly drew a card.
The first time I dueled Judai, I saw "Gem-Knight Fusion Dispersion," a card that can fuse from the Extra Deck. Under the dazzling gem colors, I experienced a completely new duel.
The original intention of her and her sister joining the Fusion organization was to have more duels to fill their emptiness and relieve their boredom.

And at that time, they saw something completely new—and that's why they slowly started trying new possibilities.
Both Gloria and Grace understood this very well.
Grace took a few steps forward and walked nearby. Gloria caught her in the corner of her eye and showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, Grace, I'll get a good rest after this duel."
"Then good luck, Gloria."
"Yeah—"
"My turn, draw!" Gloria drew a card, looked at the card in her hand, and the corner of her mouth raised. "Normal Summon, Amazoness Princess."
A silver-haired girl with a single ponytail appeared on the field.
Amazoness Princess, Level 3, Earth Attribute, Warrior Type, Defense 900.
"This card is treated as 'Amazoness Queen' while it is on the field or in the Graveyard! Then, if this card is Normal or Special Summoned, activate this effect. Add 1 'Amazoness' Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."
Whoosh—
A streak of silver light flashed from the deck. She raised her left hand and gently tossed her long golden hair, catching the card in the moonlight.
"Add Amazoness Secret Arts to my hand!"
A card that all three were familiar with flickered in her right hand. She held the card in her hand and showed it to Judai: "What do you think, Judai? The fusion you mastered, the fusion of Extra Deck monsters, and the Quick-Play Spell Cards you prepared in the Amazoness camp, I have now mastered them."
Judai nodded gently, acknowledging his opponent's growth.
"Then—Quick-Play Spell Card, Amazoness Secret Arts, using monsters on the field and in the hand as Fusion Material, Fusion Summon an 'Amazoness' Fusion Monster!"
"Fusion Summon, Amazoness Empress!"
The petite princess grew rapidly, her body gradually transitioning from immature to strong, from barren to full.
Amazoness Empress, Level 8, Earth Attribute, Warrior Type, Attack 2800.
"Set a card and end my turn!"
Judai was silent, he looked down at the cards in his hand, and then looked at Gloria.
Gloria was looked at with a puzzled look, and couldn't help but frown and ask, "What's wrong? Judai?"
"Gloria... do you know what mistake you've made recently?"
"Me? Made a mistake? Ha, you're not going to say that I didn't listen to your metaphysics and lost to Jun Manjoume, are you?" Gloria put her hands on her hips and waved her hand, unwilling to show her weak side even when she was tired. "I admit, I underestimated Jun Manjoume, he is indeed an excellent duelist. But, that has nothing to do with this duel."
"Is that so." Judai didn't say anything right away, and responded casually, drawing a card from the deck.
"At this moment, activate the Set Card, Continuous Trap Card, Amazoness Welcome!" Gloria immediately activated the Set Card, "As long as this card is on the field, every time you Special Summon a monster, I will gain Life Points equal to the ATK of that Special Summoned monster!"
"Great! A perfect start." Grace's eyes lit up.
Amazoness Empress can protect Amazoness cards on the field from being destroyed by effects and cards, and Amazoness Welcome can increase Life Points when the opponent Special Summons. For Judai, whose entire deck is basically Special Summoned monsters, this is tantamount to a lockdown.
However, looking at this card, for some reason, a green-haired figure slowly appeared next to Judai.
Midrash...?
That Midrash looked at the scene with strange eyes, and then looked down at Judai's hand, with a playful expression, looking a bit amused, which was puzzling.
What's wrong?
Grace was a little puzzled.
"Then—pay 1000 Life Points to activate the Normal Spell Card, Instant Fusion!"
"Ah, Instant Fusion!" Grace's previous surprise immediately dissipated.
Instant Fusion is a card that can directly Fusion Summon a Level 5 or lower Fusion Monster without Fusion Materials!
So—Judai only needs to Fusion Summon that card!
Judai LP: 4000 → 3000.
"Fusion Summon, Thousand-Eyes Restrict."
Judai's tone was very calm, not as serious as at the beginning of the duel, taking out Thousand-Eyes Restrict and placing it on the field.
Gloria was annoyed for a moment.
This is untreatable.
Because Thousand-Eyes Restrict's ATK is 0!
Thousand-Eyes Restrict, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster Type, Attack 0.
"Activate Thousand-Eyes Restrict's effect, equip Amazoness Empress."
Watching Amazoness Empress disappear, merging into Thousand-Eyes Restrict in a purple light, Gloria couldn't help but click her tongue softly.
But Judai's operation was not over yet.
"Next, Continuous Spell Card, Brilliant Fusion."
"Ugh..." Grace looked distressed.
Brilliant Fusion is a card that Fusion Summons Gem-Knight monsters from the Fusion Deck—at that time, the ATK and DEF of the Fusion Summoned monster will become 0.
In other words, the effect of Welcome still cannot be activated.
"Fuse Gem-Knight Lapis Lazuli from the Deck and Gem-Knight Peridot from the Deck." Judai operated casually, sending the materials from the Deck to the Graveyard, and then, a bright white knight that everyone present was familiar with made a shining appearance.
Gem-Knight Prismazer—Judai's favorite Gem-Knight.
Gem-Knight Prismazer, Level 7, Earth Attribute, Thunder Type, Defense 1400 → 0.
"Discard Gem-Knight Fusion from my hand to destroy your Amazoness Welcome."
Prismazer's spear aimed at the Continuous Trap Card, and the spear shot out a string of golden light, shattering the Trap Card.
"Then, activate the effect of Gem-Knight Fusion in the Graveyard, banish Gem-Knight Peridot from the Graveyard to add it to my hand."
"Set a card and end my turn."
"Hmph... my turn—"
"Before that!"
Suddenly, Judai interrupted Gloria's action.
His voice was full of "power", as if with some kind of magic, causing the twin sisters to look at him at the same time.
"Gloria, haven't you noticed yet?"
"Notice, what?" Gloria looked puzzled.
Grace frowned in confusion, muttering to herself.
Notice what?
"Can't you see, Gloria—this duel, from the beginning to now, is the 【same】 as our 【tag duel】 back then!"
Ah!!
The two sisters widened their eyes at the same time.
At this moment, they finally remembered—when they dueled Judai and Manjoume, Gloria's first turn and Judai's first turn were almost exactly the same as the two turns now!
Although the cards used were different, the interaction process was almost the same!
Gloria's hand froze directly in the air.
She stood there blankly, her body, which had been upheld by "belief" for a long time, almost fell to the side due to mental relaxation.
She took a step to the side with her left leg, staggered slightly, and then shook her head.
How... how could this be?
She asked herself in her heart.
Judai sighed softly.
"Gloria, don't you understand yet? Nothing has changed since then, you are still standing still."
Boom—
Under the moonlight, it was as if thunder had struck, shaking the hearts of the two girls.
