Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

Chapter 1485: Five for one? One for five!

"It's actually the 'thief' Keith. Has a world-class professional duelist also been invited to this island by Mr. Hayato?" Maruto Sho looked at Keith, who was pretending to be calm, with curiosity.

Next to him, Tenjouin Fubuki held a plate of spaghetti in one hand, picked up a roll and said, "After all, he is the Duel King. It is normal for him to have a wide network of contacts. I guess Mr. Keith Howard also had a very friendly relationship with Mr. Hayato through duels in the past, right?"

Hearing the two students' speculations about the relationship between Keith Howard and Kobayashi Hayato, Amerda laughed wildly in his heart but remained calm on the surface.

"By the way, Mr. Amerda also knew Mr. Hayato a long time ago, right?" Fubuki thought of something and looked at Amerda and said, "Do you know any interesting stories about Mr. Hayato and Mr. Keith in the past?"

"Are you asking me? I don't know any interesting stories about them. If you want to learn about the stories of the legendary duelists from me, you are asking the wrong person." Amerda said calmly, "I am just a cook. I don't have the power of a professional duelist."

To Tenjouin Fubuki and Marufuji Sho, Amerda meant that although he had known Hayato for a long time, their interactions did not involve Duel Monsters, and he did not know the legendary stories between him and other duelists. This made the two of them a little disappointed as they wanted to know more stories about legendary duelists that were not recorded on the Internet through Amerda, but they felt that it was quite reasonable.

But he didn't know that what Amerda actually meant was that he couldn't remember when Hayato Kobayashi had a good relationship with the "thief" Keith, and it wasn't like the relationship between him and Seto Kaiba. Some of the "Hayato Kobayashi stories" were like "When Hayato Kobayashi came home from school, he found that the door did not open from this side" and "When Seto Kaiba took medicine, Hayato Kobayashi would read the instructions and break his medicine bottle."

Also, his last sentence plus the omitted part actually means "I'm just a cook, I don't have the (weak) power of a professional duelist (like the thief Keith)".

"Tsk, there are still some psychological traumas." Although he was indeed frightened at the beginning, Keith was not too afraid of Amerda after calming down. He was more nervous because of the sudden PTSD. He took a few deep breaths and regained his composure. He looked at Judai, "It's been five or six years. It's all the fault of that guy Kobayashi Hayato."

"Forget it, let's just focus on the duel now. Even though my opponent is just a kid, I know that 'a lion must use all its strength to fight a rabbit'."

After checking his deck, Keith inserted it into the duel disk and shouted to Judai on the opposite side: "Are you ready, kid? Are you ready?"

"Oh! I've prepared it long time ago." Judai also adjusted his own deck and inserted it into the duel disk.

The two sides looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Duel!" X2
[Yucheng Tenth Generation: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

[Keith Howard: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

"I'll take the first strike. It's my turn, draw a card!" Judai took the initiative by drawing a card first. He looked at the card he drew and played it without hesitation. "With no monsters on my field, I activate the magic card [Transformation Contact]. I select one [N] card from my hand and one from my deck, and send them to the graveyard. Then I draw two cards from my deck."

Judai retrieved a card from the deck, showed it to Keith along with another card in his hand, and sent them to the graveyard: "The cards I'm sending to the graveyard are [N·Giant Mole] in my hand and this [N·Flame Beetle] in my deck."

"Next, I draw a card from the deck, Draw!"

He drew a card from the deck, and without losing any cards in his hand, he completed the graveyard of two [N]. After looking at the card he drew, he immediately played it.
"Then, I will activate this Trap Card from my hand - [New Space Expansion]!"

Seeing this, Keith was also stunned: "It's actually a trap card like [Winning or Losing] and [Infinite Ethereal] that can be activated directly from the hand?"

"Oh? Mr. Keith, you noticed Caesar too." [Infinite Bubble] is a card that Marufuji Ryo started using after entering the professional duel world. Keith knew that its existence was not unexpected by Judai, and he explained while holding the [New Space Expansion] card in his hand that had not yet been inserted into the magic trap area, "Just like [Infinite Bubble], my [New Space Expansion] also has the ability to activate this card from my hand even if there are no cards on my field."

"Then under the effect of [New Space Expansion], I can select [N] monsters from my hand and graveyard and Special Summon any number of [E·hero New Yuxia] in Defense Position. At most one monster with the same name can be Special Summoned by this effect."

On Judai's field, five wormholes with rainbow light flowing inside opened at the same time, and sparks, bubbles, primordial rocks, whirlwinds, and a flash of light flew out of them!
Judai retrieved the two cards that had just been buried in the graveyard, and played them and the other three cards in his hand, a total of five cards, all at once on his field!

"I Special Summon [N·Flame Beetle] and [N·Giant Mole] in my Graveyard, [N·Sky Hummingbird] and [N·Water Dolphin] in my Hand, and [E·hero New Universe Man]!"

"Iku go, Mina!"

Seven colors of rainbow light burst, and on Judai's field, one after another new monsters appeared together and made a grand appearance, guarding Judai in front of him.

"I. Special summoned five monsters in one go!?" Marufuji Sho's eyes widened outside the field. "This is too strong, isn't it? Big Brother's new card?!"

"Although their individual strength is not outstanding, their numbers make up for it. Summoning five monsters at once is really outrageous." Fubuki couldn't help but sigh, "Not to mention, there's the [E-hero New Martial Arts] who looks quite majestic. The name 'Neos', could it be that the prototype is Ultraman Neos? Just looking at his standing posture, you can tell that he is too strong!"

But at this moment, Amerda poured cold water on him and said, "Do you need me to remind you? The [E·hero Xinyuxia] you are concerned about is just a normal monster with no effect. According to Yuki Judai, it is because the impression he had when he was a child that Ultraman Neos did not have many special abilities."

"Huh? It's really a normal monster." Maruto Sho looked at the field and found that [E·hero Xinyuxia] really had no effect, but he still said, "But it doesn't matter, because the other [N] monsters don't look like they have no useful effects. They cover the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire, so their effects must be very strong!"

Although Maruto Sho only learned about the effect of [N·Water Dolphin] from Judai and did not have time to memorize the effects of other [N] monsters, he has confidence in Judai. He believes that the effects of other [N] monsters will not be too far away from [N·Water Dolphin] and should all be of similar strength.

It was at this time that Judai began to explain the effects of his monsters: "The [N]s from the 'New Space' have their forms based on the elements and creatures on Earth, and thus have their own different effects."

"The [N·Flame Beetle] on my field can increase its attack power by 400 points for each Magic and Trap Card on the opponent's field; when [N·Giant Mole] and the opponent's monster are in battle, both monsters will be returned to their respective owners' hands; [N·Sky Hummingbird] can restore my life points by 500 points for each card in the opponent's hand once per turn."

After a pause, without introducing the effect of [N·Water Dolphin], Judai chose to activate the effect of [N·Sky Hummingbird] first and said, "Well, now, while Mr. Keith on the opposite side has a full five cards in his hand, I will activate the effect of [N·Sky Hummingbird] once and restore my 2500 basic points!"

As he spoke, Judai opened his arms, waiting for [N. Sky Hummingbird] to give him the basic points.

However, [N Sky Hummingbird] on Judai's field scratched the strands of hair on his head awkwardly and said to Judai: "Sorry, Judai, I don't think I can restore your basic points now."

"Even if the opponent has Magic or Trap Cards, I won't increase my attack power." [N. Flame Beetle] crossed his arms over his chest and said coolly.

[N. Giant Mole] rubbed his hands together: "It's the same for me. I can't return the opponent's monster to the hand."

"Huh?" Judai blinked and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"So, Judai, when you use a card, remember to read all the effects." [N. Dolphin] said helplessly, pointing to the [New Space Expansion] on Judai's backcourt that he had not yet put into the graveyard, "The reason is written on it."

Hearing this, Judai also picked up the card and read the subsequent effects of the card: "The effect of [New Space Expansion] can only Special Summon a maximum of one monster with the same name. And the effect of the Special Summoned monster is negated? Huh?"

“I see, I thought…” Judai didn’t continue, touching his nose awkwardly, “Luckily I didn’t use your effect of [N·Water Dolphin] first, otherwise I would have discarded my hand for nothing.”

"It's so funny. I can tell you're really not familiar with the new cards. Even if you're not familiar with them, remembering the effects of the cards should be the most basic of the basics, right?" Seeing Judai's embarrassment, Keith laughed out loud and mercilessly, "You summoned a bunch of monsters with no mechanics and no stats. It's basically an invalid deployment. You even used up all the cards in your hand, leaving only the last two."

The special summon of [New Space Expansion] is indeed very powerful, but three of the monsters are not special summoned from the graveyard but from the tenth generation's hand. This causes the number of cards in his hand to drop sharply from the initial six to only two. Anyone who sees this will think that unless he takes out a card like [Treasure from the Sky], it will be difficult to perform any operations.

However, Judai smiled when he heard what Keith said, and pulled out a card and shook it: "Don't worry about this, Mr. Keith. Although I can't use the monster effect to show the power of the 'New Spaces', they have given me a card that can effectively solve the biggest drawback of the fusion deck."

"That is——this magic card, [Space Gift]!"

As Judai inserted the card into the magic trap area, the colorful rainbow light from before reappeared, but this time it did not send monsters to Judai's field which was already full of monsters, but instead spit out a gift box that fell from the sky?

"The effect of [Space Gift] is that for every [N] face-up monster on my field, I can draw a card from my deck." The effect sounded so simple and powerful when spoken by Judai, and the cards he drew from the deck in one breath were so shocking, "Because I have four [N] monsters on the field, [N·Flame Beetle], [N·Giant Mole], [N·Sky Hummingbird], and [N·Water Dolphin]——"

"——So I can draw four cards from the deck at once!"

What kind of fake card is this? If you put five kinds of monsters on the field, wouldn't you be able to draw five cards at a time? Keith was complaining about the absurdity of [Space Gift] in his mind. He saw clearly that the effect of [Space Gift] was only written in two short lines on the card, without any messy side effects or long-winded restrictions.

In other words, if Judai brought three [Space Gifts] and the field was full of [N] monsters, he could activate three cards in one turn and draw fifteen cards without any problem. He didn't even have the side effect of discarding all cards in his hand after five turns like [Life-Cut Treasure Card] - although the negative effect of [Life-Cut Treasure Card] seemed to be the same as not having it, at least he wrote it, unlike this [Space Gift] where he was too lazy to even install it!

Judai's hand reached five cards in the blink of an eye. He took out a card and looked at his field. "Even though the [N]s Special Summoned by [New Space Expansion] can't use their effects when they are single, I just need to let them show a new appearance, right?"

"I activate the Spell Card [NEX], and this card can send the face-up [N·Water Dolphin] on my field to the Graveyard, and then Special Summon it from my Fusion Deck as a Level 4☆ Monster with the same name as the card sent to the Graveyard!"

Taking the [N·Water Dolphin] off the duel disk, Judai took out another card, looked at the [N·Water Dolphin] on the field and said, "It's time to go, [N·Water Dolphin]!"

"Oh! Shout out my name loudly, Judai!" Nodding to Judai, [N·Water Wave Dolphin] also leaped up suddenly and jumped into the rainbow light unfolded by [NEX] on Judai's backcourt, and suddenly a huge wave surged out from it.

"Oss!" Judai shouted, holding up the card, "Hero of the new dimension from the other side of the universe, show your original form that breaks free from the constraints of gravity!"

"The original is back! [N. Ocean Dolphin]!"

There is something very interesting about the mole in the animation. When it first appears, it is a beastman. It cannot speak and can only make sounds like small animals. The effect is activated after the damage is calculated.
But later, as the animation was synchronized with the real card, the giant mole became a rock tribe, the effect was activated before the damage was calculated, and even the giant mole could speak, and the voice was that of an adult man.

Also, like the new Bubble Man and Clay Guard, Ehero's Sudden Mutation series was cut short because of the sudden mutation, but the NEX series of the new space is also the same. Only Dolphin and Moss were released, and no new ones were released. I don't know when Konami will remember to release new NEX cards for Beetle, Cheetah, Hummingbird and Mole.
