“I challenge you to a duel.” The whip guy said, after he had heard my name.

  I holy could go for a Yugioh duel right now, but I assume this is something else.

  “What kind of duel are we talking about?” I asked.

  “Are you stupid? A summoner duel.” He said back.

  “Yeah, that doesn’t expin anything.” I answered.

  “What kind of a summoner are you? There is no way someone as stupid as you summon a heavenly dragon.” He said.

  “Well, sorry that I don’t know the summoner educate.” I said. “I haven’t actually met another summoner before. And I didn’t even know you were a summoner.”

  “What? So you are self-thought? And you still summons? That ’t be possible.” He said.

  “Perhaps it is possible because I’m self thought.” I told him. Or, because my summoning is doh a unique skill, but he doesn’t o know that.

  “If it was that easy then why do we need schools or institutes?” He asked.

  “Well, it’s not like the first summoner had someoo learn from.” I said back. ’t have a teacher if you are the first.

  “Hmp. You must be all talk and no a. But I guess you will find that out soon.” He said.

  “... maybe I will. But first, do you want to expin the rules of this ‘duel’ of ours?” I asked.

  “Fine, I will. But it’s quite simple, so even someone uneducated like you should uand. We’ll both summon one monster and have them fight. The winner is the one whose summon force the other to be unsummoned.” He told me.

  “Oh, so a Pokemon battle. Simple enough.” I responded.

  “Pokemon? What the hell is that?” He asked.

  “Don’t worry about that.” I said back.

  “Fine. I’ll give you a few mio get ready, so use that time well.” He said before walking off.

  “You don’t really have to do it.” One of his team members said to me.

  “Nah, it’s fine.” I said.

  “Try not to kill him.” The archer girl requested.

  “Yeah. I’ll try.” And if I do, I resurrect him.

  “Also, in case you want to know, Tye has two different summons, a spirit tiger and a samander. But he will probably summoiger as that is the more powerful ohe archer informed me.

  “Thanks for the info. But are you sure you should be tellihat?” I asked.

  “Well, he got info about you already, so I’m just making it fair.” She said.

  “I see. Well, thank you.” I said before taking some distance so I could gh my colle and check what I’ll use.

  Hmm. I probably shouldn’t use Blue-Eyes or Red-Eyes. They are too big and will most likely scare the horses. And they are also massively powerful, so I might cause some unintended damage if I do. And humanoid monsters are out of the question as they will cause a pile of questions.

  (How about _______? It’s strong but not te.) Laura offered.

  (Yeah. Let’s do that. But I’ll need a toploader.) I said.

  (On it.) Laura said.

  5x Token Thanksgiving, 5x Precious Cards from Beyond, 3x Ojama Trio, Ojama Green, Archfiend Soldier, 2x Pandemonium Watchbear, 2x Mefist the Infernal General, Vilepawn Archfiend, 2x Shadowknight Archfiend, Darkbishop Archfiend, Desrook Archfiend, Infernalqueen Archfiend

  (Clearing out some Archfiends I see.) I ented on Laura’s sele.

  (Better that thaing Master summon them a into trouble.) Laura said.

  (Thanks. Please apply the sleeve and toploader on that card.) I said.

  Now, I just need one more card. And that one won’t even need a toploader.

  I held a card close to my chest before I said: “Install.”

  This wasn’t the first time I did this so I’m somewhat used to this already. But the near bursting levels of poleasure is not something that I’ll ever truly be used to. But it didn’t get to the part where it ainful like it did with Raregold Armor.

  I took a deep breath to calm myself after the install was pleted. Then I quietly said: “Status.” to firm if it succeeded.

  Name: Brian WoodRace: Human !Level: 38HP: 820Mana: 91th: 235Defense: 485Magic: 295 Skills: Pack Opener LV.4 (uelekinesis LV.1 (extra)Summoner’s Prote LV.1 (extra)Dungeon Founder (extra)Summon Water Spirit (extra)Health scious (extra) Mana trol LV.1Shining Taunt LV.1 Water Spirit’s Blessing (Greater)Language prehension (humanoid)So, the result was ara skill. w. I didn’t level up because of the orc, that happened a few days ago when I cleared the duo gain points for the fanny packs. 1CH.128

  The card I installed ell Eics. And it resulted in ara skill called Health scious. I checked the information about it on my status, and it es any HP requirement of skills, ons or anything else like that. Basically, any HP cost is ed. The reason I did this is because the monster I want to use has an HP drain when I use it, but with this skill, that is ed.

  Good. Now I’m ready to go. I got out the four cards I need from the colle ao face Tye.

  “Are you ready to lose?” He asked.

  “If it is my fate to lose, I will accept it. But I’m not pnning on that, so you better bring your best summon against me.” I said.

  “Oh. So at least you speak a good game. But let’s see if you have the balls to call out your dragon here.” He said.

  “Oh don’t worry. I have just the dragon for you.” I said back. Thanks to Laura’s idea, I show him what he wants to see without sg the horses. Hopefully. And I would have e up with it on my own as well, if I had used a few minutes browsing my colle.

  “Well the’s see it.” He said. “Or if you are scared I go first.”

  “Then I think I’ll give you the honor of going first.” I said.

  “Then I will.” He said before saying something like a t. “Oh great tiger that ruween the words, appear and fight by my side. Spirit Tiger Ceart!”

  As he ted, a magic circle appeared on the grouo him, and as he said the st part, a rge saber-toothed tiger with blueish fur appeared from it.

  It wasn’t huge, like some of my summons (Master of Oz), but it was detly rge. Its back was almost at the shoulder level of Tye, making the tiger be around 1,5 meters tall. And it was just under four meters long, without the tail or head being sidered.

  (Laura, how strong is that tiger?) I asked.

  (Not nearly strong enough. Master will win no problem.) Laura answered.

  (Doesn’t really ahe question.)

  (Around low B-rank. Strohan a grounded wyvern, but not by much. A wyvern that fly is stronger.) Laura said.

  (Oh. Well then this is going to be a plete overkill.)

  “Speechless, are you? I don’t bme you. Ceart has beaten many powerful oppos and has gotteo B-rank as an adventurer.” Tye said.

  “B-rank, huh. Not bad. Not bad at all. I guess I should introduce yer to its oppo.” I said. “I summon two Outstanding Dog Marrons.”

  These two were nothing more than a means to an end. The monster I’ll actually use wo tributes to be special summoned when I summon it for the first time, and this is the first time. And the reason I used two Marrons is because they will automatically return to my colle if they go to the graveyard. And as tributes go to the GY, they will just immediately return to my colle, no sleeves or toploaders required.

  “I thought we were having a 1v1. Are you scared and had to summon two pathetic creatures?” Tye asked.

  “Oh, don’t worry. These two are just a means to an end. They won’t fight that tiger as they have no ce of winning.” I said before activating the card, and one of the reasons I installed Spell Eito myself. It’s also what I used the sleeve and toploader for. “Toon World.”

  As I activated Toon World, a rger than normal book appeared o me and opeo one of its middle pages, before a castle-like structure formed like from a pop-up book.

  “Yoing to fight me with a book? Don’t insult me!” Tye yelled.

  “As I said, the two dogs are just a means to an end. So is this book. Now I will summon the monster you will face. Are you ready?” I asked.

  “Stop stalling and summon it already!” He yelled back.

  “Fine, fine. But you still don’t have to yell.” I said before holding up the st card. “I tribute my two Outstanding Dog Marrons, to special summon Blue-Eyes Toon.”

  As I said that, my two dogs were absorbed into Toon World and Toon World closed its covers. Then after spinning around for a few seds, it reopened and from its pages out came my Toon, cag lightly.

  Spoilerhttps://youtu.be/38gN1cqdZ9I?t=16

  [colpse]Blue-Eyes Toon wasn’t that rge, only about 1 meter high, but it has a lot of power in a pact package.

  “Hah, hah, hahahahhaa.” Tye ughed at my dragon. “That? Hahaha. That is your dragon? That’s a joke! It’s tiny! A dragon like that do nothing.”

  “Then feel free to take it down. If you mao do that, I’ll give yold s back.” I taunted. I know there is basically no way he take my Toon down. Especially as I have Toon World out.

  “You make this too easy. I really should have gotten a wager from you before we began.” Tye said.

  “Why not now? It’s not too te.” I said, fully showing my fidence.

  “Oh. Well then, if I win I’ll have you hand over the tract with your heavenly dragon to me!” Tye demanded.

  “Oh, really now?” You want my Blue-Eyes, but also ugh at it? Well, you won’t win. “I’m fih that, as I won’t lose.”

  “That fidence will cost you.” Tye said. “So, what do you want if you win?”

  “Nothing. I highly doubt that you have anything I would care for. I’ll just beat you because I and because you ughed at my dragon.” I said back.

  “Arrogant fool!” Tye yelled.

  “It’s na’s fidence.” I said back.

  “Ceart! Attack that joke of a dragon!” Tye anded his summon.

  (Laura. Tell Blue-Eyes Toon it py with the tiger in any way it wants to.) I gave my and. I didn’t want to verbally and my dragon to assert dominance.

  (As you wish, Master.) Laura responded, before transmitting my order to Blue-Eyes Toon.

  As the tiger attacked with its cws, my Toon just casually dodged, by bending its body in unnatural ways. That’s probably something only a Toon monster do.

  The tiger tried to attack my dragon with its cws again and again, but every time, my dragon would stretd bend out of the way, never even ter attag.

  “STOP FOOLING AROUND! You are just making fun of me with a joke summo you!? Order that thing to attack ive up!” Tye yelled.

  “... fine. I will. Blue-Eyes Toon, attack that tiger.” I ordered verbally, but added: (But don’t kill it.) through Laura.

  After my order, my dragon was no longer just fooling around. It flew around the tiger at fast speeds while spitting out small balls of light from its mouth.

  While some of the attaded in the ground around the tiger, some of them hit, causing the tiger to yelp out in pain.

  “Ceart!” I heard Tye call out to his tiger, sounding genuinely worried for it.

  (Laura, tell him to hold for a sed.) I ordered my dragon through Laura again.

  My toon immediately seized its attacks and positioned himself betweeiger and I.

  “Surrender. You ’t win.” I said to Tye.

  “No. I’ll never.” He said.

  “Do you really think you win? Yer's attacks will never hit my Toon, while my dragon fly ps around yer while peppering it with attacks.” I said. “Please surrender, so I won’t have to keep this up.”

  “No! I won’t!” Tye yelled. “Ceart. Attack with Spirit on!”

  I just looked as the tiger charged a bst of energy in its mouth, before releasing a beam towards my Toon. Perhaps tanking this hit will make him surrender.

  Sadly for me, my dragon had other ideas as it bent its body and dodged the attack.

  CRAP! The beam is now ing right at me!

  I raised my arms into an X in front of my face, to protect it. I was holy hoping Threatening Roar would activate and protect me, but as it only stop an attack that was meant to me, before that attack even happened, I had no choice but to take this attack head on.

  Just before the attack ected, with Laura’s help, I was able t a Monster Reborn out of my colle, into my right hand. If this kills me, at least Lua or Alice should notice it and they will hopefully use it.

  With those thoughts running through my head, the beam hit me.
