“What? He’s actually choosing to attack?!”
“Huh? Is he crazy! Sky the Sky Scrapper’s attack power is only 1800, how could he possibly defeat the Electron Iceman with an attack power of 4200!”
“Jaden Yuki, what are you trying to do?!”
Seeing Jaden Yuki actually launch an attack against the Electron Iceman with an attack power of 4200, the students watching seemed to explode, their cries of shock ringing out.
“Elemental HERO – Sunrise, as long as this card is on the field, the monsters on the field will have their attack power increased by 200 x the attribute type of the monsters on the field.”
A voice echoed from the classroom doorway.
All the students turned to look.
They saw a handsome blue-haired boy.
He stood there with his arms crossed, watching the duel.
“It’s the third-year senior, Jesse Anderson!”
An unknown girl in the crowd shouted.
Immediately, a group of girls started screaming excitedly.
“It’s Jesse-senpai!”
“He’s so cool! Jesse-senpai!”
Faced with the hearts in the girls’ eyes, Jesse Anderson didn't say a word. He simply watched the duel between Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes.
“But even with that effect, Sky the Sky Scrapper’s attack power is only 2200, right?”
Another voice rang out from the doorway.
Jesse Anderson glanced over and saw a black-haired boy with his hands in his pockets, walking over with a cocky smile on his face.
“Blizzard…” Jesse Anderson smiled, a rare expression on his face.
“Yeah, with just Sky the Sky Scrapper's 2200 attack power, he’s not a match for Electron Iceman.”
“But with Sunrise, things are different.”
The appearance of the black-haired boy caused another stir among the girls.
“Another handsome guy, huh.”
“Who is that handsome guy…?”
“I remember, it’s the third-year senior, Alexis Rhodes!”
“Rhodes? That surname, could it be…?” One of the girls, with curly hair, placed a finger against her lips, as if she had realized something.
Everyone turned to look at Alexis Rhodes, who was in the middle of the duel.
“Ah, this lovely lady is just as you thought.” Blizzard Rhodes grabbed the curly-haired girl's hand and looked at her with a serious expression.
“I am Alexis Rhodes’ older brother, ten—Join, Blizzard!”
He flashed a smile that he thought was cool.
Blizzard Rhodes’ shameless act caused a swarm of fangirls to scream.
Jesse Anderson: “…”
Alexis Rhodes: “…”
Although they had noticed what was happening over there, Alexis had no time to deal with her foolish brother’s shenanigans.
The duel had entered the battle phase.
Sky the Sky Scrapper’s wings unfurled.
The two fan blades spun like electric saws.
The wind howled.
But this power wasn’t enough to defeat the Electron Iceman!
Unless…
Alexis’ eyes focused on Sunrise.
“Whoa!”
Sunrise’s body shone like a sun.
The light, as if capable of breaking through darkness, instantly enveloped the Electron Iceman.
“Aaaaaah!”
Amidst the Electron Iceman’s pitiful scream, the last barrier protecting Alexis shattered into fragments.
“How…?”
Alexis took a step back, fear in her eyes.
“Elemental HERO – Sunrise, when another monster with ‘HERO’ in its name attacks, you can choose to destroy one card on the field!”
Only then did Jaden Yuki slowly explain the other effect of Sunrise.
By now, all of Alexis’ cards had been destroyed.
Standing before Alexis were Sunrise and Sky the Sky Scrapper, two towering figures.
“Waah!”
As the heroes launched their final attack, Alexis Rhodes' life points instantly plummeted to zero.
She was blown back by the simulated air current and fell to the ground.
【Jaden Yuki WIN】
The surrounding images gradually dissipated.
Only a deathly silence remained.
“Alexis, are you okay?!”
Asuka and Bonita rushed over and helped Alexis up.
“I’m fine… what time is it…?”
Alexis looked at Asuka with a disappointed face.
“Huh? What time? Why are you asking that…?” Asuka immediately checked her phone, “Eleven thirty.”
Eleven thirty…
The duel started at eleven twenty-five.
That meant she had lost in just five minutes…
Disappointment filled Alexis’ face.
She wasn’t disappointed because she lost. She was disappointed because she couldn’t even last ten minutes and had fallen to Jaden Yuki.

The system’s voice gradually faded away.
Jaden Yuki put his Duel Disk back in his backpack and turned to leave.
“Seriously, how can he just leave without saying a word…?”
Asuka helped Alexis up and glared at Jaden Yuki as he left.
“It’s okay, Asuka…”
“I just wasn’t good enough. I lost.”
Alexis hung her head and chuckled bitterly.
