Campus Courtyard

"Glad to help. Accidents happen, after all." Ernie replies with a warm smile.

Campus Courtyard

The young man who stood across from Drake flashed a cocky smirk as he finished shuffling his deck and inserted it into his duel disk.

"Eh? The name's Seamus, and I'm extremely lucky. Y'see, I'm da sevent' son ov'a sevent' son! Y'aint got no chance of takin' me down."

His duel disk activated and he drew five cards.

A massive holographic coin appeared between the pair, one side with Seamus' face, the other with Drake's. It flipped itself up into the air and landed on the ground with a metallic thunk, showing Seamus' face.

"Ha! Just as I says!"

He looked over his hand then took a card and slapped it into his field zone.

"I activate A Legendary Ocean! What it does is that it reduces the level of all WATER monsters by 1 and gives them a 200 attack and defense buff!"

The field shifted and changed into a massive underwater city.

"Since it's now level 4, I can summon my Terrorking Salmon wit' no tributes!"

He slapped a card down and a stream of bubbles came up from below the duelists as a viscious looking fish swam onto the field. (2400 ATK -> 2600 ATK)

"I'll end my turn dere."

LP: 8000

Field: Terrorking Salmon (2600 ATK), A Legendary Ocean

Hand: 3 cards

Campus Courtyard - Fish vs Maids

Drake flinched at the boasting of his opponent and that flinching continued as the coin flip went their way followed by the playing of a Field spell and the summoning of something actually fairly powerful. Drake glanced down at his own hand: A lot of it was stuff he couldn't really use first turn but there was two cards that looked decent.

"Right then, first I play something face-down in my spell slash trap area!"

Dragonmaid Downtime, a decent repeatable for his purposes. And now it was time to embarrass himself and the Academy by showing exactly what kind of thirst his deck was built around.

"And I call the first of my servants to attend! Lorpar, assume your human form and show our guest your service!"

He did admit, seeing Parlor Dragonmaid appear in full holographic glory did make him feel better about getting in a duel in the first place.

"Parlor Dragonmaid's effect allows me to send a Dragonmaid card from my deck directly to my graveyard. This of course will be her true form, Dragonmaid Lorpar!"

And the automatic deck-searching wasn't a bad feature to have on hand either.

"Now, if you have no responses, I would like to move to Battle Phase."

Campus Courtyard-Fish vs. Maids

"Not so fast!"

Just as Drake entered his Battle Phase, Seamus he took a card from his hand and flipped it around, showing it was a Trap.

"This is Phantasm Spiral Power! If 'Umi' is on the field, and it is t'anks to A Legendary Ocean being treated as 'Umi', I can activated it from my hand wit'out setting it beforehand. Since I control a Normal Monster, I can target one effect monster you control and negate its effect, as well as reduce its attack by 1000!"

A whirlpool shot out of the card, trapping the Dragonmaid.

Dragonmaid Dueling

"S-so I guess I go to Battle Phase but the little swap-out mechanic doesn't go off? Okay well in that case I shall refrain from attacking at all and move to End Phase. Is that... Acceptable?"

Campus Courtyard-Swimming with the Fishes

"Ha! I gotcha on the ropes, buddy!" Seamus ripped a card from the top of his deck and looked at it, a little disappointed.

"Well, your Maid's effect and attack power are restored, but she's still no match for me Salmon. Moving to Battle Phase. Attack!"

He moved to his Battle Phase, not knowing the maid's effect proccs on his turn as well.

Dragonmaid Dueling

"Hold up! Parlor Dragonmaid's effect can proc and I'm choosing to do so. Lorpar, reveal your true form!"

Drake did a little happy spin, ejecting Parlor Dragonmaid and slotting in Lorpar from the graveyard. On the holographic front this was represented with that glowing white transition transformation.

"My estate is well-guarded by my attendants, do you still wish to attack?"

Campus Courtyard, Popcorn Gallery

Enrie, as he watches this, gives quite a smirk. "Show them the real power of dragons!" He says cheeringly.

Courtyard

Seamus cursed under his breath.

"A'right, I call off my Salmon's attack and pass to you."

The salmon swam back to his side of the field. Seamus stared daggers back at Drake as he ended his turn.

Dueling Dragonmaids

"And at the end of your Battle Phase I activate Dragonmaid Lorpar's effect. The danger has passed Lorpar, return to your more wonderful appearance... But then I chain my trap card in too! Dragonmaid Downtime, I return Lorpar to my hand to return A Legendary Ocean to your hand!"

Dragonmaid Downtime went off first, ejecting Dragonmaid Lorpar (and the opponent's Field spell) to their respective owner's hands before Parlor Dragonmaid returned to the field, this time in defense position.

"Enter the— Summon effect triggers again, I send Dragonmaid Tinkhec to my graveyard. And I think that's all my end of Battle Phase stuff... Do you wish to take your second Main Phase or is it my turn?"

He waited for a few seconds just to get confirmation before beginning his turn. Draw phase, Eye of Timeus; neat but not useful just yet. There was at least some stuff he could do this turn just with what she had on the field.

"Alright I activate Dragonmaid Downtime again to return Parlor to hand and retrieve a Dragonmaid card from my deck which is going to be Dragonmaid Changeover which I will then immediately play to fuse Lorpar and her maid form to summon the grandest of my servants in her true form! Sheou, come forth and serve your master!"

The spectacular little light show that accompanied the casting of Changeover and the reveal of the grand draconic form of Dragonmaid Sheou caused Drake's expression to brighten considerably. Here he was, at the top of his deck's power, surely.

"Battle phase, I attack your pitiful fish."

Campus Courtyard

Drake's pupils shrank.

"...uh oh."

He gritted his teeth as his Salmon was obliterated.

LP: 8000 -> 6900

"Careful. The sea isn't a forgivin' mistress. She is spiteful and will return this attack back onto you a thousand fold."

Dragonmaid Dueling

"The sea has got nothing on flying dragons and my estate is thankfully fairly inland. I have no further moves on my turn. Your go!"

Sheou's got an effect that triggers on every Standby Phase. Also two possible responses on the board in Sheou's effect and Dragonmaid Downtime.

Campus Courtyard

Seamus grimaced and drew a card, letting Drake resolve Sheou's effect during the Standby Phase.

"I'll activate my Legendary Ocean again, then I'll summon my Codarus."

The sunken city returned and a small sea serpent appeared on the field. (1400->1600 ATK)

"I'll activate its effect and send my Ocean to the graveyard to send your Sheou and Downtime to the GY!"

The already sunken city sank as Codarus charged up an electric blast...

Dragonmaid Dueling

"Okay Standby Phase I summon Lorpar from the graveyard..."

The green dragon returned to the field.

"And when you activate Codarus I activate Sheou's second effect! Which negates the effect activation and destroys the card that caused it! Sure, I have to send Sheou's true form back to the Extra Deck but in return I bring out her much more appealing maid form: House Dragonmaid!"

Drake was trying his best not to laugh as his response played out.

"Alright, alright. As you were saying, fishy boy?"

Courtyard

Seamus growled and shook his fist.

"Urgh...I set 1 card facedown and end my turn."

LP: 6900

Field: 1 Set

Hand: 2 cards

1 potential response.

Campus Courtyard

Ignia stands on tiptoes to peek over the crowd as she is not a tall girl.

“Wooooooah, dragons! They’re so...cute!”

She giggles, “Uncle M’d love these.”

Dragonmaid Dueling

"On my own Standby Phase, I— wait no that doesn't work. Alright fine I draw..."

Instant Fusion, could bring out Darkfire but that would do nothing right now. So instead, best to just rely on the field.

"Let's make this quick, so I'm not late for teatime. I move to attack and attack directly. But starting with Lorpar just in case your trap card is a nasty trick on whoever attacks first."

Both dragons charged up their respective breath weapons.

Courtyard

Seamus braced himself as the combined attacks hit. He was sent flying back by the shockwave.

LP: 6900-1200

Wincing he stood back up.

"Me lucks not run out yet, I activate my facedown, Set Rotation!"

A pair of cards slipped out of his deck and he threw one to Drake.

"Now I set two field spells into both of our field slots. As well no other field spells can be activated "

A set card appeared on Seamus' field. The card he just threw to Drake was Umiiruka.

Dragonmaid Dueling

"Alright cool, some more ocean stuff."

Drake just slotted in the Field spell face-down.

"I don't use any Fields myself, so this really doesn't effect me beyond shutting you out of Field spells if I manage to send yours away. Regardless, I don't wish to return my dragons to hand just yet, I will end my turn."

Courtyard

Seamus dusted himself off and drew a card.

"I'll go ahead and flip up my facedown field spell, Pacifis, the Phantasm City!"

Another sunken city appeared, this one with a large stone casket in its center.

"And then I'll normal summon my Megalo Smasher X."

A prehistoric reptile with a massive set of jaws took to the field. (2000 ATK)

The lid of the casket raised a little and a stream of bubbles came out.

"Now my City will grant me a treasure in the form of a Phantasm Spiral card from my deck to my hand."

Dragonmaid Dueling

"Ah, heck wait is it too late to do Dragonmaid Downtime returning Lorpar to return Pacifis before you bring in Megalo Smasher?"

A crack in the facade. He looked at the field.

"I'm gonna do that to prevent you fetching your likely removal hand trap."

Courtyard

Seamus started cursing up a storm as his city started vanishing. Out loud. The media present had to quickly cut to commercial.

"Alright, well before it disappears I will activate its other effect. Since you activated an effect I can summon a Phantasm Spiral token."

The lid of the casket blew off and a ghostly sea serpent appeared on the field, coiled up in defense mode. (2000 DEF)

Pacifis disappeared and he never got his search. Huffing he set a card facedown, unable to replay Pacifis.

"End. Go."

He was not happy.

Dragonmaid Dueling

"Well, as a consequence of returning one of my dragons to hand, House Dragonmaid destroys one monster you control, which shall be the non-token fish. So yeah, now's my turn and I draw."

Dragonmaid Clean-Up (or Tidying as the actual system itself said). Not particularly good but these turns of doing nothing with the hand had kinda left him with no option but to play something.

"Alright I set two traps and slash or spells..."

The Flute of Summoning Dragon went down first, not that his opponent knew what it was. Then Dragonmaid Tidying.

"And if that's all I shall move to my Battle Phase."

Courtyard

Seamus looked a little shaken.

"Hey! Ugh...you better not attack or my trap will wipe your field!"

Dragonmaid Dueling

"That sounds like a bluff. I'm gonna call it. House Dragonmaid attacks your Phantasm Spiral token. It does you no personal damage but it's one more blocker off the board."
