Let's play cards! In a fantasy world of swords and magic

**Kaiba Seto LP: 3600 → 1800** 

The number representing Kaiba's life points plummeted, dropping below half in an instant. 

Ilin and Aisha, watching from the sidelines, exchanged glances filled with astonishment. 

"I didn't expect this. Kevin actually has the upper hand." 

"Maybe he can do it. Maybe Kevin can actually win!" 

This move of using **[Ancient Rules]** to forcefully special summon the Red-Eyes Black Dragon from his hand was proof of Kevin's growth after his previous defeat. 

"End of turn!" 

After taking the lead, Kevin ended his turn. 

"How about that!" Kevin, having dealt massive battle damage, pointed forward and demanded. 

"If this were a 2000-life-point duel, I would've already won. Brother, even now, won't you acknowledge me?" 

"Hmph." Kaiba narrowed her long-lashed, beautiful eyes and let out a dismissive snort. 

"First of all, this isn't a 2000-life-point duel. Second, why do you have the illusion that you could win against me even in a 2000-life-point duel?" 

Taking her turn, Kaiba drew a card from her deck using her Spirit Eye. 

After just a brief glance, Kaiba Seto did something that shocked the entire arena. 

*Swish—!* 

Kaiba discarded all the cards in her hand, scattering them into the air like petals from a celestial maiden. The five cards floated and spun in the air before falling to the ground. 

Kaiba herself turned around, preparing to leave the duel arena. 

"What are you doing? Running away?" Kevin called out to stop her. 

"Running away? Ridiculous. The duel is already over. Defeating you only requires one card." 

Without looking back, Kaiba left behind only the cool, silver-white silhouette of her coat. 

At the same time, the card she had set face-down last turn was slowly revealed. 

As the Quick-Play Spell card depicting three white dragons was activated, the entire duel arena trembled and shook violently. 

**[Burst Stream of Destruction]** 

A Quick-Play Spell card exclusive to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. 

No one except Kaiba herself knew the exact effect of this card. 

From the holographic foil finish, it was clear that this was an A-grade rarity spell card. 

Crafting it required 400 spell points, and an A-grade card supporting the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon was undoubtedly terrifying. 

**[Burst Stream of Destruction Quick-Play Spell Card Effect: During the turn this card is activated, you cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters except "Blue-Eyes White Dragon."** 

**①: Shuffle all cards in your hand, field, and Graveyard into the Deck, face-down, then Special Summon up to 3 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" monsters from your Deck.]** 

At the cost of banishing all her cards face-down, Kaiba could summon as many Blue-Eyes White Dragons as possible from her deck. 

This also explained why Kaiba had discarded all her cards earlier. 

The five cards that had fallen to the ground a moment ago were now banished face-down, removed from the duel. 

In their place, the legend of the White Dragon, surpassing even the Black Dragon, descended with the might of an emperor. 

"This is the strongest monster! Triple Summon of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" 

**[Blue-Eyes White Dragon ★★★★★★★★ (8 stars) Light]** 

**[Dragon-Type ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500]** 

**[Blue-Eyes White Dragon ATK: 3000]** 

**[Blue-Eyes White Dragon ATK: 3000]** 

Three Blue-Eyes White Dragons soared through the sky, their souls capable of crushing time and space, exerting immeasurable destructive power that completely suppressed the Black Dragon that had dominated the battlefield last turn. 

Aisha exclaimed in shock, "Wait, wait, wait! Three Blue-Eyes White Dragons? I thought, like Kevin, Kaiba only had one!" 

After all, the rumors Aisha had heard from her classmates were that Kaiba, the eldest son of the Seto family, had summoned the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon during the midterm exams of his first year. 

However, Aisha had only heard the beginning of the legend, not its continuation. 

As one of the Twin Pillars of Fusion Academy, Kaiba Seto had successfully summoned the second Blue-Eyes White Dragon during the summoning test at the end of her first year. 

Then, upon entering her second year, she summoned the third Blue-Eyes White Dragon during last week's midterm summoning test. 

Having fully utilized the academy's abundant mana summoning ritual three times, Kaiba Seto had completed the summoning of the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon trio. 

Combined with the crafting of this A-grade Blue-Eyes spell card, **[Burst Stream of Destruction]**, Kaiba Seto's true power was now on a completely different level from the rest of the academy's students. 

Even if her opponent was her younger brother, the first-year No. 1, Kevin, who wielded the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, it made no difference to Kaiba. 

As Kaiba had boldly declared earlier, defeating Kevin required only this one card. 

Or rather, if Kaiba had wanted to, she could have summoned all three Blue-Eyes White Dragons on her first turn. 

In that case, Kevin wouldn't have even been able to touch her. 

"The struggle is over, my foolish little brother." 

Kaiba Seto, her silver-white coat billowing behind her, snapped her fingers crisply, signaling the three roaring Blue-Eyes White Dragons behind her. 

"Tear apart someone's naive and childish fantasies, Blue-Eyes White Dragon.—Burst Stream of Destruction!" 

The three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, upon receiving Kaiba's command, simultaneously opened their terrifyingly large mouths, gathering the destructive energy of light capable of annihilating the heavens and the earth. 

"Triple shot!!!" 

*Boom, boom, boom!* 

Three consecutive bursts of destructive energy bombarded Kevin's field, obliterating his Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Valkyrie of Strength, and finally Kevin himself. 

**[Red-Eyes Black Dragon] destroyed.** 

**Kevin LP: 4000 → 3400** 

**[Valkyrie of Strength] destroyed.** 

**Kevin LP: 3400 → 2200** 

**[Direct Attack]** 

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh—!" 

**Kevin LP: 2200 → 0** 

The legendary duel between the Black Dragon and the White Dragon ended with an overwhelming victory for the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. 

After this battle, it would be difficult to compare the two dragons again, as the gap between them was simply too vast. 

"He got destroyed," Ilin said, her eyes filled with pity as she looked at the duel field. 

After enduring three blasts of white light that would have been unbearable for most, Kevin knelt on one knee, his clothes smoking as if scorched by high temperatures. 

Why? Even after working so hard, he still couldn't come close to matching her. 

Watching Kaiba Seto's cold departure, Kevin had never felt such hopeless despair. 

He had thought that coming to the academy would change something. 

But now, it seemed like nothing had changed at all. 

"Kevin..." At this moment, Aisha became the one who could best understand Kevin's feelings. 

She empathized deeply. 

Aisha had thought that Kevin Seto, the super-elite son of a duke, was completely different from her, a bottom-feeder from a declining family. 

But every family has its struggles. Even Kevin, the first-year No. 1, had his own pain, just like Aisha once did. 

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see any reward. As You Ling had said, he was adrift on an endless sea of confusion.
