The duel between Asuka and Judai is continued. Asuka has 3500 LP left as Judai has only 1300 left. Judai is now falling onto his knee and holding himself tightly because he feels very cold. When he gets damages, coldness will strike him. Asuka smirks and explains her triple combo. First, as long as Snow Sprite is on the field, Judai can neither set up nor activate his magic card. Second, by the effect White Night's Fort, Judai can't activate his trap card in Asuka's turn. Third, White Night's Queen has an effect to destroy one card set up on the field. According to these three potential combos, Asuka is certain that Judai's deck has been completely sealed. Fubuki and Manjyome understand that it means Judai can't use his skillful fusion combo. because Polymerization is a magic card, so it can't be activated due to Snow Sprite's special effect. Kenzan and Sho are very worried by how Judai's gonna do.

Judai tells himself to be calm down. He is considering the situation carefully as trying to get up. Everything turns back because of annoying Snow Sprite. He looks at the cold smile of Snow Sprite, which represents Asuka's smile, and thinks about beating it up. The turn is now with Judai. Drawing a card, he summons [Card Gunner - 4/400/400: Increase this card's ATK by 500 points until the end of the turn every time you send a card from the top of your Deck in the Graceyard. You can send only up to 3 cards to the Graceyard in a turn with this effect. When this card is destroyed, draw 1 card from your Deck] onto the field in attack position.

According to the effect of Card Gunner, for this turn, its attack points can increase by 500 points for each card up to 3 that Judai discards from the top of his deck into the cemetery. Thus, Judai sends H-Heat Heart, E-Hero Necro Darkman, and N-Air Hummingbird into the graveyard to boost up the attack points of Card Gunner to 1900 (400+500*3). He declares the strike of Card Gunner to destroy Snow Sprite. This reduces Asuka's LP to 2700 (3500+1100-1900). Sho and Kenzan are glad to see that Snow Sprite's destroyed. That means Judai can now play magic cards. Judai then plays Pot of Greed to draw two new cards. He next plays another magic card [O-Over Soul - Magic: Special summon 1 Normal Monster that includes Elemental Hero in its name from your Graveyard] to summon a monster from his graveyard. Therefore, he calls back E-Hero Sparkman from the cemetery onto the field in defense position.

Judai later activates the magic card [Spark Gun - Equipment Magic: This card can only be equipped to an Elemental Hero Sparkman. You can change the mode of 1 Monster on the Field. This effect can be used more than once, but if used 3 times, destroy this card], equipping it with E-Hero Sparkman. He uses the effect of Spark Gun to turn a monster on the field, Card Gunner, into defense position before ending his turn here.

Kenzan and Sho clap their hands together by the successfully multiple magic plays of Judai. It's such a rush play once Judai had a chance to activate magic cards. Kenzan believes that Judai may be able to beat Asuka shortly if he keeps on playing like this. Anyway, Fubuki doesn't think that Asuka will do nothing. Manjyome looks at Asuka's cold face and still feels upset. Fubuki holds up his handkerchief to clean his tear before saying that everything is because of Manjyome's fault. He also blames himself as an incompetent brother. Manjyome looks scared when this issues was brought up again. He tries to comfort Fubuki that it isn't his Big Brother's mistake. Fubuki tells him to stop calling him Big Brother, so Manjyome turns to call him Master (Fubuki is a master of love for Manjyome). Kenzan and Sho have cross eyes towards Fubuki and Manjyome who always seem to have fun with this topic while Judai's dueling very hard. They don't wanna care and turn back to the duel.

Sho	Way to go! It's a Magic Rush!
Kenzan	He'll beat her in no time if he keeps this up-saurus!
Fubuki	But, if he keeps this up, Asuka probably won't sit back quietly.
Manjyome	Still...How could an icy face like her's be smiling? Tenjoin-kun...
Fubuki	And it's all that White Thunder's fault.
Manjyome	T-This again...
Fubuki	No, I'm wrong...Poor Asuka...the blame's on everyone's incompetent Brother.
Manjyome	No, that's not true, Big Brother.
Fubuki	I never gave you the permission to call me Big Brother.
Manjyome	Errm, Master!
Kenzan	They're still at it-don.
Sho	That's interesting and all, but there are people dueling now.

The turn moves to Asuka. She draws a card and gets White Veil. After smirking, she opens her face-down trap card [Call of the Haunted ~ Living Dead No Yobi Koe - Permanent Trap: Select 1 monster from your Graveyard and Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position. When this card is destroyed or removed from the field, the summoned monster is destroyed. If the summoned monster is destroyed, this card is also destroyed]. By its effect, she calls back Snow Sprite from the cemetery. Judai is getting worried since this means he again can't activate any magic card. Asuka next claims the special effect of White Night's Queen to destroy Judai's face-down card. Although Judai couldn't activate his face-down trap card as a result of the permanent effect of White Night's Fort, Asuka didn't make him feel relieved by destroying that trap card by the effect of White Night's Queen.

Kenzan can notice that Asuka has changed completely as if she is a different person. Manjyome can't stand hearing. He argues that Asuka has merely been manipulated while holding Kenzan's neck tightly. Fubuki notes that he believes Asuka's kind heart must be hidden under her cold smile. If so, Sho wonders that it should be piercingly strong feeling. No matter people say, Manjyome convinces that Asuka isn't in her true personality. He is with her side as calling her name out loud.

Manjyome	Tenjoin-Kun hasn't changed. She has just been controlled.
Fubuki	Ah, under Asuka's cold smile, Asuka's kind heart must be hidden there.
Sho	Maa~kindness? That's such piercingly strong feeling.
Manjyome	Anyway, that isn't her original personality. Tenjoin-Kun!

It's still in Asuka's turn. She declares the attack of White Night's Queen to destroy defending E-Hero Sparkman. Then, she continues the next strike of Snow Sprite to destroy Card Gunner. Although Judai doesn't lose any LP, he has to receive physical damage from ice storm. According to effect of Card Gunner, when it's sent to the graveyard, Judai can draw a card. Asuka looks at him very coldly before ending her turn.

Judai looks that her and feels very concerned by that Asuka today may be a completely different person. Her play hardly has any openning. In his turn, he draws a card and summons [Dandelion - 3/300/300: When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard as a result of battle, Special Summon 2 Fluff Tokens (Plant-Type/WIND/1 Star/ATK 0/DEF 0) to your side of the Field in Defense Mode. The Fluff Tokens cannot be used in a Tribute Summon during the turn that they are Special Summoned] onto the field in defense position. He can do nothing else, so he ends his turn quickly.

It's now Asuka's turn. She draws a card and looks at her cards on hand. They are Stray Lambs, Cold Sleeper, White Veil, and Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon. Then, she summons [Cold Sleeper - 4/1100/?: {When a monster is destroyed on your side of the field, you can activate this effect. Designiate 1 spot from your own Monster Card Zone (At this time, you cannot designate a spot that has a Monster card in it.) After this, the designated Monster Card Zone cannot be used during the duel. You can Special Summon a monster destroyed as a result of battle at the end of your Battle Phase. The monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot change its Battle Position while is face-up on the field.}] onto the field in attack position, declaring its attack to destroy Dandelion quickly.

By the special effect of Dandelion, when it's destroyed, two Fluff tokens can be summoned onto the field in defense mode. Although Judai tries to extend time, Asuka thinks he still can't do anything. Judai disagrees. He believes that the duel is what people can't expect what's gonna happen until the end. If that's the case, Asuka intends to shatter his belief. She then keeps on the double strikes of Snow Sprite and White Night's Queen to destroy two Fluff tokens. Although his field's wiped out, Judai claims that he is getting very excited. Asuka wonders whether Judai is still trying to show his courage and strength in this crisis. Judai says that Asuka should also know it well; to have fun like this is because it's the duel. Asuka doesn't say anything but smirks. Here is supposed to be the end of her turn.

The turn moves to Judai. He draws a card and activates the special effect of E-Hero Necro Darkman in the graveyard. While Asuka looks amazed, Judai explains that he previously sent E-Hero Necro Darkman into the cemetery to increase the power of Card Gunner. The effect allows him to special summon [E-Hero Neos - 7/2500/2000] onto the field in attack mode without any tribute. Judai lets it attack and destroy Snow Sprite. Thus, Asuka's LP decreases to 1300 (2700+1100-2500). Sho and Kenzan are glad to see that Judai finally made it. When Snow Sprite's gone, he can again activate any magic card. Fubuki doesn't think that Judai can be careless, telling people to look at Asuka's eyes. She doesn't look as if she has any advantage at all.

Asuka explains that Cold Sleeper has the effect to special summon a destroyed monster at the end of battle phase. In other words, Snow Sprite can be summoned back, again stopping Judai from activating any magic card. If that's the case, Judai declares that he just needs to activate a magic card before the battle phase ends. Asuka realizes that a magic card which can be used during the battle phase means an instant magic card. Judai then activates [Quick Summon ~ Sokkou Shoukan - Instant Magic: Normal Summon 1 monster in your hand] to summon [Card Blocker - 3/400/400: When this card is successfully normal summoned, flip Summoned or special summoned, it changes into defense position. When a face-up monster on your side of the field is selected as attack target, you can change the attack target to this card. When this card becomes an attack target, you can send up to 3 cards from your deck to the graveyard. This card gains 500 DEF for each card sent to the graveyard until the end of this turn] from his hand onto the field in defense position.

Cold Sleeper Monster Card	Card Blocker Monster Card

At the moment when Judai ends his battle phase, Asuka activates the special effect of Cold Sleeper. It designates one mosnter card zone on her field, so she can't use it during the duel. However, it allows her to special summon Snow Sprite back from the cemetery onto the field in defense position. People feel very concerned by that the annoying monster finally returns. Asuka explains that Snow Sprite special summoned by the effect of Cold Sleeper can't change its position. Judai doesn't make any comment, but ends his turn calmly.

The turn is now with Asuka. Drawing a card, she sacrifices White Night's Queen and Cold Sleeper on the field to call out [Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon - 8/3000/2500: Negate and destroy the effects of your opponent's Spell and Trap Cards that designate this card as a target. By destroying 1 Spell or Trap Card on your side of the field and sending it to the Graveyard, you can change the attack target of an opponent's monster to this card]. Judai looks very excited by such a great monster.

Asuka then plays the permanent magic card [White Blizzard - Permanent Magic: When a monster on your opponent's side of the field is destroyed as a result of battle, inflict 600 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points. When this card is destroyed, select 1 card on your side of the field and destroy it]. According to its effect, if a monster on Judai's field is destroyed, Judai will receive 600 direct damages to his LP. Asuka next activates [White Veil ~ Shiro No Veil - Equipment Magic: If the Equipped Monster attacks, all of the Spell and Trap Cards on your opponent's field are negated and destroyed. When the Equipped Monster is destroyed, your recieve damage equal to the ATK of the Equipped Monster] and equips it with Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon.

Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon Monster Card	White Blizzard Magic Card

People remember at once that White Veil was the card that White Manjyome used to play against Asuka. Sho and Kenzan then turn to look at Manjyome unfriendly. Fubuki notes that the situation doesn't look good. Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon has the special effect to destroy a trap or magic card on Judai's field that designates Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon as a target. Furthermore, Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon equipped with White Veil can destroy a trap or magic card when it attacks. To conclude, it doesn't matter whether Judai will attack Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon or receive the attack from Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon. His trap or magic card will be destroyed anyway. Sho feels very worried about Judai as Kenzan thinks that it's such a powerful combo.

Asuka smirks and tells Judai to surrender in front of the white light before declaring the battle of Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon against E-Hero Neos. At this timing, Judai activates the special effect of Card Blocker. It can change the attack target of Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon to itself. Judai declares that the opposing monster of Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon is actually defending Card Blocker as Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon is turning to destroy it. Although Judai could change his target monster well, Asuka claims that he has to receive 600 direct damages from the effect of White Blizzard. Therefore, his LP decreases to 700 (1300-600). Setting up a face-down card, Asuka ends her turn.

Asuka reminds him that it's useless for Judai to aim to Snow Sprite. According to another effect of Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon, Asuka can destroy a magic or trap card on her own field to change the attack of Judai's monster to itself. People understand that it means if Judai aims to let E-Hero Neos attack Snow Sprite, Asuka may destroy a trap or magic card on her field to change the target of E-Hero Neos to Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon. Manjyome thinks that Asuka is doing great, but Kenzan and Sho aren't pleased with his words. Asuka asks what Judai intends to do because he certainly looks to be blocked in all directions.

Kenzan and Sho are very concerned by the current situation. Judai has only 700 LP. If his monster is destroyed, he will receive the direct 600 damages by the effect of White Blizzard. Then, his remaining LP won't be sufficient at all. Nevertheless, Fubuki notes that Judai doesn't look that he has already given up. He looks at Judai confidently as other people are getting surprised. Fubuki is right. Judai says, "Asuka! I haven't given up yet. I already said, didn't I? Duel is what you don't know what will happen until the end". Asuka smiles and says that she will let him see his last useless struggle.

The turn moves to Judai. After drawing a card, he turns to look at Manjyome and Fubuki excitedly. He says that he would like to borrow their power once again. Manjyome wonders what Judai means. Anyway, Fubuki seems to understand what Judai has planned. He thinks that Judai's drawing skill (luck) is good as usual. Judai says that he has to remove two cards, Ojama Black and Swing of Reminiscence, in the graveyard from the game to satisfy the effect of Magic Striker that he was just able to draw. This play allows him to special summon [Magic Striker - 3/600/200: {This card cannot be Normal Summoned. Remove 2 cards in your Graveyard from the play in order to Special Summon this card. This card can attack your opponent's Life Points directly. Battle Damage the controler of this card recieves while it is conducting a battle becomes 0.}] from his hand onto the field in attack position.

After that, Judai normal summons [Armor Breaker - 3/800/800: Once per turn, if you control this monster on the field, you can equip it to a face-up Warrior type monster on your side of the field as an Equip Card, OR unequip it and Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position. If the equiped monster inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent, you can destroy 1 card on the field] onto the field in attack position. He makes it union with Magic Striker (The union is as a result of Armor Breaker's own special effect).

Magic Striker Monster Card	Armor Breaker Monster Card

Asuka asks what Judai actually aims to. Judai explains that Magic Striker has the special ability to make the direct attack. Asuka sees Judai so shrewd. Thus, he declares the direct hit of Magic Striker attached with Armor Breaker against Asuka. Judai smiles and claims that their LP should be the same now. Asuka's LP goes down to 700 (1300-600) after she receives the direct hit. Meanwhile, Manjyome gets mad and says how Judai dare attack Asuka. Sho also looks mad and turns to Manjyome. He should be the one who asks what Manjyome intends to say. Asuka feels very annoyed. She begins not to understand what this unpleasant feeling is.

Judai explains the special effect of Armor Breaker that when the monster it's equipped with, Magic Striker, could destroy a monster in battle, he can destroy an equipment card on the field. Judai points his finger to his target. Of course, he intends to destroy White Veil equipped with Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon. Magic Striker hits very hard by equipped Armor Breaker, destroying White Veil. Changing E-Hero Neos into defense position. Judai ends his turn.

Seeing White Veil send to the cemetery, Asuka gets mad and asks how dare he do to her card. Her sound is so scary that Sho, Kenzan, and Sho all get frightened. They see Asuka look uncool and scary merely because White Veil was destroyed. Fubuki wonders whether the control on her has been weakened. People are amazed when they see Fubuki staying very behind from his original seat. He seems to get more scared of Asuka than anybody. Asuka then says coldly to let Judai prepare for what he did.

Asuka	My sacred White Veil...how dare you do that to it!!
Sho	Huh? Just now, Asuka-san...
Kenzan	...wasn't cool at all!!
Manjyome	With White Veil destroyed...
Fubuki	...the spell on Asuka's loosening?
Asuka	Prepare yourself, Judai!

The turn now moves to Asuka. She draws a card and plays the instant magic card [Mystical Space Typhoon ~ Cyclone - Instant Magic: Destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field] to destroy Armor Breaker equipped with Magic Striker (Armor Breaker is equipped with Magic Striker in a hammer form. It's counted as an equipment magic card). After Armor Breaker is blown away and explodes, Asuka declares the attack of Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon to destroy Magic Striker (Asuka destroys Armor Breaker first because it has the special effect to protect Magic Striker from destruction. If Magic Striker isn't destroyed, she can't activate the special effect of White Blizzard). Judai claims the special effect of Magic Striker that any battle damage he will receive reduces to 0. Anyway, Asuka reminds him of her White Blizzard's effect. When her monster could destroy a monster Judai has to receive direct 600 damages. Thus, his LP still reduces to 100 (700-600).

Kenzan feels as if Asuka has returned to be normal. so does Fubuki. When Sho sees Fubuki, he wonders when Fubuki has returned to his seat. At this rate, Manjyome feels that Judai is going to lose, and Saiou's curse will remain. However, Fubuki is certain that Judai must be able to do something. On the stage, Judai laughs although he is getting beaten up. He looks happy and says that Asuka is actually warm. No matter what happens, he won't give up. His words seem to annoy her pretty much.

Judai's turn has come. He draws a card and gets his expected one. He then summons it, [N-Flare Scarab - 3/500/500: Increase the ATK of this card for each Spell or Trap Card on the opponent's side of the field x400 points], onto the field in attack position. Asuka wonders what Judai intends to do. It doesn't matter how many trashes he keeps on summoning. Her monster can destroy them, and her White Blizzard can take effect. Judai convinces her that he always says that his mosnters aren't trashes. He hopes Asuka will watch his play carefully.

Kenzan	What's up? It looked like Asuka-sempai returned to normal!
Fubuki	Yes...Her face did look like it showed some life.
Sho	What? When did you get there?
Manjyome	But, Judai's going to lose if he doesn't do something. Then, Saiou's curse will never get lifted.
Fubuki	No...this is Judai-kun. I'm sure he'll do something.
Judai	You've really got me beat! You still got some fire left in ya, Asuka!
Asuka	You'll get put on ice in the face of White Blizzard next turn.
Judai	I won't give up to the very end!
Asuka	Hmph...
Judai	Ah! Alright! Come on! My Neo Spacian! Flame Scarab!
Asuka	And so? No matter how many of those scrubs you summon, White Blizzard will eventually...
Judai	My monsters aren't scrubs. It's like I keep saying, right? Watch closely, Asuka!
Asuka	It can't be...

Judai then declares the Contact Fusion (Fusion between E-Hero and N-Spacian without Polymerization) between E-Hero Neos and N-Flare Scarab into [E-Hero Flare Neos - 7/2500/2000: This card cannot be Special Summoned except by returning the above cards on your side of the field to your Deck; then you can Special Summon this card from your Fusion Deck (You do not use Polymerization). The ATK of this card is increased for each Spell and Trap Card on the opponent's side of the field x400 points. Return this card to your Fusion Deck during the End Phase]. Due to the special effect of E-Hero Flare Neos, it attack points can increase by 400 for each magic or trap card on Asuka's field. There are three magic cards on the field (White Blizzard, White Night's Fort, and a face-down card), so the attack points of E-Hero Flare Neos become 3700 (2500+400*3).

Manjyome and Fubuki can notice that this is Judai's chance. Judai asks whether Asuka begins to fear. He looks down her by saying that Asuka who is controlled by Saiou is very boring and uncool. Asuka tells him to stop talking because Judai has no right to comment. Manjyome's eyes glow with hearts because he is impressed by Asuka's outburst. However, Kenzan sees Asuka look scary. Fubuki notices Asuka getting more set up in her fighting spirit, hoping Judai will do his best to keep on doing like this. Judai tells Asuka before his last action that he doesn't care of any white night or whatever. Everything has daybreak as the sun rises highly. Thus, he hopes Asuka should cut it out and wake up. Asuka argues that she has been in her true form already, so she doesn't have to get up. Judai knows that Asuka leaves him no choice but to strike. He declares the attack of E-Hero Flare Neos against Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon. This strike is buring together high spirits of Kenzan, Sho, Fubuki, and Manjyome. Judai hopes it can transfer people's feeling to Asuka and heat her ice heart up.

Manjyome	So Tenjoin-kun's...
Fubuki	Now, Judai-kun! Press on!
Judai	Are you scared, Asuka? You aren't much at all!
Asuka	What did you say?
Judai	Quite frankly, only the you now being controlled by Saiou is kinda boring. Uncool, you know.
Asuka	I'm Boring...I'm uncool...?! Stop playing with me!! You have no right to talk!!
Manjyome	Wow! That outburst! That's Tenjoin-kun all right!
Kenzan	That was truely scary!
Sho	Manjoume-kun...Down, boy....
Fubuki	All right! A spark's set in Asuka's fighting spirit! Go for it, Judai-kun!
Judai	Look, Asuka! Whether it be a white night or whatever, every night has its daybreak! The sun will still climb high! So cut it out and open your eyes!!
Asuka	Impossible. Who I am right now is the true me. There's no need for me to open my eyes!
Judai	Then you leave me to use force! Battle!!
Asuka	Come at me!
Judai	Flare Neos! Attack Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon!! Go! Flare Neos!! Reach her! Everyone's fiery feelings!! Set the Asuka in the ice free!! Burn!! Burst Rush!!

E-Hero Flare Neos finally burns out Blue-Ice White Night's Dragon as Asuka's LP decreases to 0 exactly (700+3000-3700). The ice stage is then gone while Asuka falls onto the ground and falls asleep. Manjyome wonders whether Asuka will be okey. Fubuki tells him not to be worried and lets him look at Asuka's face closely. Judai walks in and says, "Asuka, it's been morning already. For how long have you slept? Wake up, Late Riser!" (Nebosuke ~ a kid or a person who always gets up very late in the morning). Hearing those words, Asuka eventually wakes up and looks very mad. She tells him, "Late Riser? Don't call me like that! You did to me pretty, didn't you? Because I wont be defeated next time!"". "As you wish~", Judai says and hands over to raise Asuka's up. Manjyome obviously looks very jealoud of them. Fubuki sees such good feeling from them, hoping that Manjyome thinks of nothing. Sho thinks that Fubuki just rubbed his wound, but Kenzan thinks that Fubuki said without thinking of anything at all.

"I am happy that Asuka has finally returned to be normal", Judai says. Asuka looks very amazed by his words and seems to know nothing. "But the real enemy is at other place!", Judai notes while looking at other direction. The real enemy he mentioned is actually Saiou.

At the white dorm, Saiou smirks and says, "Maaa, that's good anyway. Next time, I will definitely take back that key". Meanwhile, Edo is holding the key he was assigned on his cruise, looking very serious.

Judai tells his friends that the real battle is going to start from now on. People have realized that and been ready for it. Judai then looks at the key he has got, having prepared for any coming destiny.

to be continued...

Sho	I have known it well that this day must have come someday since the day I decided to enter Duel Academia. I today will challenge Dear Brother...Hell Kaiser!
