Chapter 042 God's Declaration

"The game begins!"

After the first move was decided by rock-paper-scissors, Nana Komikawa took the initiative.

"My turn, preparation phase, main phase, is there anything going on?"

Nana Komikawa declared her phase.

She waited until Momoyama Fruit gave a clear answer before she continued with the next operation.

This is a good habit.

It will save her from being dragged back and suffering a heartbreak like Jonouchi did in the previous game.

After that, Komikawa drew a card from her hand and placed it in the monster zone: "I Normal Summon Mathematician, is there anything going on?"

[Mathematician, 3*, Attack: 1500, Defense: 500, Effect:

①: This card can only be activated when it is successfully summoned. Send 1 monster of level 4 or less from the deck to the graveyard.

②: This card can only be activated when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard. Draw 1 card from your deck. 】

I heard Komikawa asking me.

Momoyama Fruit's eyelids seemed to twitch slightly, and then she shook her head: "No."

Pegasus Night Walk also suddenly realized something.

Then, Xiao Meichuan continued: "Then I will activate the effect of the mathematician..."

But at this moment.

"Please wait a moment, little sister!"

Momoyama Fruit suddenly stretched out her right index finger and shook it left and right: "You can't activate its effect now, because you have missed the timing..." Then, she cast her eyes on Pegasus Night Walk next to her: "Am I right, handsome boy?"

...

Pegasus Night Walk did not speak.

Nana Komikawa was a little confused: "Why did it miss the timing? Its effect is not when the summon is successful..."

"Because when you summoned successfully just now, you asked me if I had anything to do."

Momoyama Guozi smiled proudly at Nana Komikawa: "When you have priority, you did not activate the induced effect, but asked me if I had anything to do. I can regard it as you have given up activating that induced effect. When I gave up the chain, you wanted to activate its effect again, of course you would miss the timing."

"Ah!? Why is that?"

Nana Komikawa was stunned at the time.

She always thought it was a good habit to ask the opponent every time she made a move. Tianma Yexing also told her so just now, but she didn't expect that habitually asking the other party whether there was a chain would also lead to such a flaw.

"Little sister, this game is not so easy to learn. You are still too immature..."

Momoyama Guozi looked at Nana Komikawa with a look of a winner looking down on a loser: "Okay, now the timing has been missed, your mathematician cannot activate the effect, please continue your operation."

Nana Komikawa was a little at a loss.

She knew she was not strong enough, and she was not afraid of losing.

But because of this, she could not activate the card effect, and she felt like she was holding back a breath in her chest, which was very uncomfortable.

Alas...

Nana Komikawa sighed deeply in her heart.

She thought that if she didn't activate it, she would not be able to develop, so she might as well just finish it.

But at this moment,

"Wait a minute."

Pegasus Night Walker, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "Who said I missed the time?"

"Huh?"

Momoyama Fruit was also a little surprised to hear Pegasus Night Walker's voice: "Her monster successfully appeared, but she didn't activate the triggering effect but asked me if I had any action. Of course, I missed it..."

"Who said the triggering effect meets the conditions?"

Pegasus Night Walker glanced at her and said bluntly: "She asked you if you have anything to do, just to ask you if her monster successfully appeared. If you have a card that can counter the appearance of her monster and invalidate the summon, then the effect of the mathematician can't be activated, but now... you said nothing, so the mathematician successfully appeared and activated the triggering effect. Is there any problem?"

After hearing what Pegasus Night Walker said, Xiao Meichuan Nana was not stupid , immediately nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! That's what I mean!"

"Summoning invalid... This reason is a bit far-fetched, isn't it?"

Momoyama Fruit bit her lower lip and said: "There is no such card at all. The excuse you made up at random is simply..."

"No, that kind of card does exist."

Tenma Night Walk slowly took out a card from the box he had just opened and handed it to Momoyama Fruit: "It is this card [God's Declaration]. Its effect can invalidate the action of summoning monsters, that is, it can be activated at this point when the monster is about to appear but has not yet appeared. Since this card exists, then ask you whether the monster has successfully appeared. Is there any problem?"

[God's Declaration, Counter Trap Card, Effect: ①: You can pay half of your basic points to activate the following effects.

●Can only be activated when a magic or trap card is activated. That activation is invalid and destroyed.

●Can only be activated when you or your opponent summons, reverse summons, or special summons a monster. That summon is invalid, and those monsters are destroyed. 】

"Summoning invalid..."

Momoyama Fruit looked at the words clearly written on the effect column of this card, and read them word by word with some reluctance: "It is true that the summon is invalid... But I didn't have any cards on the field at that time, and it is unreasonable to ask whether it landed successfully..."

"Actually, there is no problem."

Tenma Night Walk stared at Momoyama Fruit's eyes and said: "Because she has only been exposed to Duel Monster Cards for a short time, she only knows that there are some cards that can invalidate the summon of monsters, but she doesn't know what kind of cards they are. What if such cards can be activated directly from the hand? She asked you specifically out of rigor, is there any problem with this?"

Momoyama Fruit is still arguing: "Activate from the hand during the opponent's turn? How can there be such a card? You are making a specious argument..."

"In fact, there is."

Tenma Night Walk thought for a while: "For example... Infinite Bubble?"

...

Now Momoyama Fruit has nothing to say.

Ko Mikawa Nana can continue to deal with the monster effect of the mathematician.

"Ye Xingjun, you are really awesome..."

While sending monsters to the graveyard in her deck, Nana Komikawa whispered to Pegasus Ye Xing: "I couldn't say anything just now, so I just had to listen to what she said..."

"This is the importance of mastering the rules."

Pegasus Ye Xing also whispered: "But generally speaking, you can also ask the referee in this situation. Of course, the referee can't speak for you like I do..."

They were talking in a whisper, and Momoyama Guozi saw it clearly and even heard a little.

But she had no choice.

She had been playing the game of Duel Monsters for a long time. She heard that there would be a large-scale points competition in Kaiba Paradise tomorrow, so she came here to take a look in advance today.

Duel Monsters has just become popular in Japan, and many people don't understand many things about the rules.

She thought that with her many years of experience in North American competitions, she should be able to overwhelm a lot of opponents just by relying on the rules. This game was also for her to practice and see the level of the duelists here.

But she didn't expect it.

I actually met Tianma Yexing here, a boy who is more proficient in the rules than me!
