Chapter 31 - Bug! It must be a bug!

"Teacher, can this match really be won?" Xia Yu came over and whispered, no confidence heard from her voice.

If she were to speak louder, she's afraid everyone would call her to stand on the table to duel.

"Not necessarily." Luo Bai said honestly.

"It still depends on the opponent's hand and on their operation."

What he was thinking was that if the opponent had a hand trap such as , he still couldn't win, but if the opponent was careless, he might not even be able to use it even if he had such a hand trap.

As soon as those words came out, boos resounded.

"Hmph, I thought you had some lofty views. Aren't you just treating the other person as a fool? Shu Yu'er snorted coldly.

"How can the opponent's Shadow Monarch on the opposite side use the effect to eliminate the backcourt?"

She thought that when Luo Bai said that it depends on the opponent's operation, he was referring to him making a misplay, where in the next turn, the opponent's Shadow Monarch wouldn't banish Crimson Fox, but instead banish one of the set cards.

The man in the Blue Side was relieved when he heard this.

Hearing Shu Yu'er's words though, Luo Bai just glanced at her like he was caring for a mentally retarded child.

Then, he turned to look at the man in the Blue Side and asked: "So, you mind playing along for one round?"

Intervening midway must require the consent of both duelists.

"I'm fine with it."

"Okay."

Both parties in the duel replied without thinking, and even the man in the Blue Side was curious. With such a set-up on the field, how can he lose?

[AUTHORIZATION PASSED]

The AI referee also issued a notice.

The Red Side is officially transferred to Luo Bai for him to operate.

Taking the Magic Cards from the woman in the Red Side's hand, Luo Bai subconsciously looked at the opponent he was facing and shuffled his hand around out of habit.

"I set one card."

The card-swiping action suddenly stopped, he directly set a and said.

When the Blue Side's activation timepoint wasn't triggered, Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief, at least confirming that the opponent didn't have the life-saving hand-trap .

However, Luo Bai's strange actions made everyone behind him confused.

"Teacher, did you set the wrong card?" Xia Yu came over again and whispered softly.

"Hey! Don't interfere with the teacher's operation." Xia Sheng frowned and hurriedly pulled the restless girl back.

"Enter Battle Phase." Without paying attention to the siblings, Luo Bai loudly declared.

The people behind him frowned even deeper, completely confused about his intentions.

" attacks ."

The moment Luo Bai finished speaking, the Blue Side flashed in response.

Luo Bai's heart tightened. The opponent really did have the hand trap . This can switch to Defense Position, making the attack useless.

Blue Side is thinking...

He pressed the Card Check button.

Confirming that there are no strange cards in the Red Side's graveyard or in the Banishment Zone, he thought about it.

Then, he canceled the activation of in his hand. After all, even if is destroyed, he can Special Summon another from the Deck.

Attack Declaration Step passed!

"Then, Damage Step." Luo Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

"C1, I activate the Quick-Play Spell: to destroy my set card."

As soon as these words came out, all kinds of sounds exploded.

"What the heck are you doing!?"

The first person to lose control was the woman who was controlling the Red Side. To her, that action was no different from giving up.

What's the point of using to destroy your other ?

What, just because they're useless at the moment, you're playing around with them now?

"If you're a duelist, then give a good fight!" Shu Yu'er's face was filled with anger and her voice was a bit harsh.

She despises people who think of a situation as hopeless and act irresponsibly. Even if a duelist were to lose, they should do so gracefully, with dignity.

"He's gone crazy." Everyone kept talking.

"Brother, what's the meaning of Teacher's actions?" Xia Yu whispered to Xia Sheng's ear, not daring to speak loudly at all.

This move left Xia Sheng feeling uncertain, and he began to stutter as he spoke, "T- Teacher... doing this, t- there must be a reason..."

Even the man in the Blue Side opposite him widened his eyes in surprise.

Destroying their own card is an operation that even a novice wouldn't think of doing unless they're that stupid or just made a misplay.

Even with all the ruckus happening though, Luo Bai ignored the commotion and said calmly:

"Chain. C2, I activate Quick-Play Spell: to destroy your ."

No chain, effect processing.

is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, destroys .

"That's useless. would activate its graveyard effect." Melonica was the first to point out.

At that moment, the man on the Blue Side spoke indifferently: "Hmph, when is sent from the field to the graveyard, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower from my Deck in Attack Position."

"I Special Summon the second ."

But when he smiled and cheerfully retrieved the second copy of from his Deck and placed it on the table... The AI referee issued an alert.

[INCORRECT OPERATION, THE CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATING NATURIA CLIFF'S EFFECT NOT MET]

"Hm?"

"What's going on!?"

"Did I hear that correctly!?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, looking at each other with eyes wide open, slightly doubting what they just heard.

"It can't be a malfunction, right?" Discussions began.

"A bug?"

"A glitch? Never heard of the AI referee malfunctioning before."

A hint of embarrassment and awkwardness flickered across the man in the Blue Side's face as well.

"How... How is this possible? I can obviously summon a second according to its effect." Muttering to himself, he found the warning from the intelligent referee unbelievable, and his perspective collapsed.

Angrily, he placed the second on the mechanical table again.

The AI referee issued an alert again:

[INCORRECT OPERATION, THE CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVATING NATURIA CLIFF'S EFFECT NOT MET]

[WARNING: YOU HAVE MADE THIS MAKE FOR THE SECOND TIME]

"It's not a glitch!?" Everyone exclaimed again.

Then, out of some tacit understanding, they all turned their attention to Luo Bai.

He was the only one in that area who looked calm.

It was as if this happening was just as he expected.

"Did you know this would happen?" Shu Yu'er asked first.

Her eyes were filled with confusion, unable to comprehend what was going on. It couldn't be a malfunction of the AI referee; she was very familiar with their own product.

"What the heck is going on!?" The man in the Blue Side opposite him also shouted in confusion.

However, Luo Bai didn't answer their questions, but instead said calmly: "Is there a chain, or would you like to use or ?"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers suddenly remembered that they were still in a duel.

The clock is still ticking, it's not teaching time, and he had no obligation to explain such matters.

Anyhow, keeping silent at that moment wouldn't prompt the AI referee to give him a violation.

Even if that's so, the onlookers looked at him confused, feeling crazy in their hearts.

This guy still keeps in mind that it's duel time now?

"Breathing so calmly..." Seeing him like that though, Melonica vaguely recalled the scene when she was creating a card at the Alterlife Shop...

Although she was unconscious at that time... She had heard such steady breathing before.

They're somewhat familiar...

"Attack rollbacks, direct attack", Luo Bai said indifferently.

The man in the Blue Side was anxious, his eyes widened, and he quickly threw out a card and shouted: "I activate the effect of in my hand to turn into Defense Position!"

"Sorry."

[INCORRECT OPERATION]

Luo Bai gently raised his hand and said in unison with the AI referee:

"The effect of can't be activated during the combat step."

[THE EFFECT OF CAN'T BE ACTIVATED DURING THE COMBAT STEP]

can only be activated when an attack is declared. After the attack is declared, it can't be activated during the combat step.

"What!?" The man in the Blue Side shouted, his eyes becoming dull.

"Then, wouldn't that mean..."

Under the gaze of everyone, who looked either stunned or confused...

The mini projection of rushed in front of the duelist's avatar——- , then twirling her body around, and with a powerful kick, the attack went through.

The avatar used in the mechanical table is just a mascot. Apart from being cute or handsome, its presence has no effect. One can ask the Company's to buy such a setting. It's not an expensive add-on, ranging from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands.

"Krrrrr... Crack!"

Blue Side LP: 1200 -> 0

The image avatar emitted a withered sound, gradually wilting.

The Blue Side cardpad erupted with the effect of cracking and collapsing, and a mechanical boom echoed in everyone's ears.

[DUEL ENDS]

For a moment, the world seemed to freeze in place, the voices of doubt, noise, and astonishment coming to an abrupt halt.

All sounds ceased at that moment.
