#446 - Mathematics, formulas, duel - Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!

The stage for the Top 8 was far above the audience. Standing on the stage, Misawa Daichi could feel a sense of excitement and passion.

He looked at Manjoume, who had also taken the stage, and a friendly smile appeared on his face: "It's been a while since we had a proper duel, Lightning."

"Indeed, it seems we only sparred during the first semester," Manjoume nodded, recalling the past.

Indeed, they hadn't dueled that many times.

Of course, this refers to proper duels. Within the Fusion Club, they had dueled many times at the Fusion Club's table with various decks.

Bang bang bang—

Confetti exploded, and holographic images of the two appeared in front of the audience.

"Duel!" they both shouted simultaneously.

Duel Academy Main School, Misawa Daichi, LP: 4000.

Flames rose from behind them.

Neither of them had their signature card appear.

Although someone from Kaiba Corporation thought they could give Manjoume a Light and Darkness Dragon, Manjoume refused.

On the other hand, Misawa Daichi used several decks in this final tournament, with various attributes, even using Amazon cards, so Kaiba Corporation couldn't find a signature card for him.

"I'll go first, draw!" Misawa Daichi drew a card.

"Activate the magic card, Pot of Greed, draw two cards."

Misawa Daichi drew two cards and glanced at them: "Then, I activate the magic card, Graceful Charity. This card allows me to draw three cards, and then discard two cards from my hand."

"Draw!"

He drew two more cards from the deck, and then his eyes lit up.

Perfect!

[Dragon's Mirror].

The first card of the key chain is in hand!

He looked at his hand again, gazing at the continuous trap and a monster, calculated for a while in his mind, and smiled: "Discard Chemical Beast Oxy Ox and Chemical Beast Dio Chemicritter from my hand to the graveyard."

"Oh—is that a Chemical Beast?" Manjoume couldn't help but speak up when he saw this series of cards, "You didn't use Chemical Beasts much in the previous matches. Are you finally using them this time?"

"That's right, dueling you is not the same as testing," Misawa Daichi looked at his hand, "Activate the magic card, Monster Reborn, to revive Chemical Beast Dio Chemicritter from the graveyard. Then re-summon it."

A bizarre-looking giant that seemed like a combination monster appeared beside him, with the chemical formula for dioxide on its body.

Chemical Beast Dio Chemicritter, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, Attack Power 2800.

"Dio Chemicritter—" The corners of Manjoume's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Some familiar friends couldn't help but smile.

Seeing this monster, they couldn't help but think of the jokes that Tenjoin Asuka often made with Misawa Daichi.

However, Manjoume wouldn't bring it up on this formal occasion. After a light chuckle, he nodded: "Summoning a monster with 2800 attack points on the first turn, is this your tactic?"

"Tactic? No—" Misawa Daichi shook his head, "This is just [preparation]."

Preparation?

Manjoume raised his eyebrows slightly.

"When I went to the Amazon camp with Asuka before, I thought a lot."

"Ah—I heard about it, you and an elf—"

"Cough cough cough, that's something that doesn't need to be mentioned here!" Misawa Daichi quickly interrupted Manjoume's tactless remark. He coughed twice and said, "However, what you mentioned isn't without reason.

After that, I kept thinking that the Fusion Army attacked the X Dimension, causing communication between our two dimensions to be hindered. This kind of thing will definitely happen again in the future.

After all, people can't understand each other. Different dimensions will inevitably be wary of each other. Furthermore, there might be misunderstandings, conflicts, or even [hatred] between elves and humans due to common sense or suspicion.

So, I plan to take this direction as a path to travel to all future dimensions."

Manjoume looked at him in surprise.

"This is not an easy thing to do, Misawa. How are you going to do it?" Manjoume looked at Misawa Daichi and asked the heartfelt question of countless people and elves, "There are language differences between countries, and even the summoning methods are different between dimensions. How are you going to do that kind of thing alone?"

"It's very simple. No matter what dimension, whether it's elves or humans, there's always one thing that will never change!" Misawa Daichi replied confidently.

"Is... what?" Manjoume asked doubtfully.

"Mathematics!"

Not only was Manjoume shocked, but some young viewers who were watching the match were also noticeably startled when they heard these two words.

"No matter what world, no matter what dimension, whether it's elves or humans, all dimensions, as long as they are duelists, must learn something—mathematics!" Misawa Daichi reached out to Manjoume and said, "So, as long as there is [formula], as long as there is [number], there will definitely be a way to make everyone peaceful and allow everyone to communicate with each other.

I want to become that mathematical extradimensional diplomat."

"...Hahahaha, amazing, Misawa!" Manjoume suddenly laughed loudly, "Then do your best, because I am the one who will surpass the past, present, and future to become the strongest duelist! If you can't show your full strength here, it will be difficult for people to trust you!"

"Ha, I certainly understand—set two cards, end my turn!"

"My turn, draw—at this moment, activate the quick-play magic card, Armed Dragon Blitz, special summon 1 [Armed Dragon] monster from the deck in defense position.

Special summon, Armed Dragon LV3!"

"Then—during the standby phase, activate Armed Dragon LV3's effect. This card sends itself to the graveyard during the standby phase to activate. Special summon 1 [Armed Dragon LV5] from the hand or deck!

Evolve, my dragon!"

The small armored dragon gradually grew larger, then turned into a sturdy young armored dragon.

Armed Dragon LV5, Level 5, Wind Attribute, Dragon-Type, Attack Power 2400.

"Using the quick-play magic card to special summon the weakest LV3 during the draw phase, and then directly evolving it into LV5—"

"Wow, an LV monster!"

"I didn't expect to see a legendary monster."

LV monsters may not be strong, but they are extremely rare. Every LV series monster is very rare. Seeing Manjoume use this card right away, the audience will naturally be excited.

"Want to use LV5's effect to directly destroy my Dio Chemicritter? But it's not that easy—before Armed Dragon evolves to LV10, you have to discard a monster with higher attack power than the opponent's monster to destroy the opponent's monster.

2800 points, Lightning, even you don't have that easily, right?"

"But, unfortunately—"

"Tch, you just happen to have it?"

"That's right—Misawa, activate Armed Dragon LV5's effect, discard Armed Dragon Thunder LV7 from your hand. Its attack power is exactly 2800 points!"

Directly throwing away LV7's Armed Dragon!?

Armed Dragon LV5 seemed to light up with intense electric light. It leaped up and charged towards Dio Chemicritter, the electric punch landed, instantly shattering Dio Chemicritter.

Misawa Daichi used his hand to block the storm caused by the explosion, but he himself was not impatient at all.

"Armed Dragon Thunder LV7's monster effect, this card can only be activated when it is sent to the graveyard for the effect activation of a Dragon-Type monster. Add 1 [Armed Dragon] from the deck to your hand!"

"I add Pile Armed Dragon to my hand, then immediately activate its effect—discard 1 Wind Attribute or Dragon-Type monster other than this card that is LV7 or higher from your hand to special summon it directly. I send Armed Dragon Thunder LV3 to the graveyard. Special summon!"

A huge LV7 Armed Dragon jumped to LV5 with a bang, and then grabbed a huge pile driver and roared at the sky.

Pile Armed Dragon, Level 7, Wind Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2800.

"Then, Armed Dragon Thunder LV3, like LV7, has an effect triggered by being sent to the graveyard by a Dragon-Type activation—draw one card."

Manjoume instantly drew a card and glanced at it.

"It's not over yet, activate Pile Armed Dragon's effect, send Armed Dragon Thunder LV5 from the deck to the graveyard to increase its own attack power—then, Armed Dragon LV5's effect, from the deck, add a Level 5 or higher Dragon-Type Wind Attribute monster to the hand—I add, Armed Dragon LV10!"

Pile Armed Dragon, ATK: 2800 → 4300

"Wow..."

"Monsters with 2400 and 2800 were special summoned directly without consumption."

"Moreover, it even destroyed the opponent's monster!"

"And it increased the attack power!!"

Just like Misawa Daichi said.

Mathematics is the most "direct".

Manjoume didn't waste a single card, not only special summoning a monster that was enough to directly kill 4000LP, but even directly destroying Misawa Daichi's monster. As long as it was a person who had watched a few duels, they would know how exaggerated Manjoume's actions were in this world.

"Hiss... Manjoume, this kid, how did he become so powerful?" Fubuki didn't understand what caused him to instantly become like this, as if he had opened up the Ren and Du meridians.

"Lightning—haha, that guy..." Judai looked at the duel with a pure smile on his face.

“It’s a fight! Misawa! If you can't even stop this—”

“Trap Card, Messenger of Peace!” Misawa Daichi said unhurriedly, with a slight hint of apology, “Sorry, Thunder, peace, peace. Starting off so violently will scare away people who could become friends.”

“...Heh.” Manjoume chuckled and shook his head.

That's reasonable too.

“I set two cards and end my turn.”

Pile Armed Dragon, ATK: 4300 → 2800.

After that, he folded his arms and waited calmly, watching to see what Misawa Daichi would do.

“My turn, draw!”

Misawa Daichi drew a card, glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

It's here—

The key [second] card!

He showed a confident smile, and beside him, Tanya's phantom also nodded slightly to him.

“Here I come, Thunder—”

“Come on, Misawa!”
