Chereads / Zexal Reborn: A duelist's destiny / Chapter 3 - First duel

Chapter 3 - First duel

Reginald had 4000 LP while the guy he was facing only had 800 LP.

Reginald used a level 3 kraken and a level 3 shark and summoned XYZ Submersible Carrier Aero Shark.

Water/Fish - Rank 3

[ATK 1900/DEF 1000]

Then Reginald attacked with his monster and ended the duel.

"It was a pleasure, thanks for the gift." Reginald took the other guy's deck.

Suddenly someone shouted "Not so fast !"

I turned and saw that it was Yuma. If i remember correctly he is gonna challenge Reginald.

Let's see if it's different from the anime.

"Who are you ?" Reginald asked.

"My name is Yuma, and i'm a friend of Bronk. You can't just take his deck like that !" Yuma approached Reginald.

Reginald only smirked "He bet it, and he lost. That's how it works. Don't like it ? Too bad."

Yuma's face turned red with anger "Then I'll duel you ! If I win, you give Bronk's deck back !"

Without a word, Reginald grabbed the strange key Yuma always wore around his neck and yanked it off.

"Hey, give that back !" Yuma yelled.

smirked and dropped the key on the ground. Then, with a single step, he crushed it under his shoe, snapping it in two. The pieces scattered as he kicked a part toward the bushes.

Yuma's whole face lit up with anger. He clenched his fists and glared at Reginald.

Reginald just smirked again "You want to duel me so bad ? Meet me at the station square this Sunday. Winner takes the other's deck. Got it ?"

"Forget Sunday. I'll duel you right now, Reginald." I said as i walked toward them.

Yuma looked surprised, while Reginald raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.

"Who do you think you are ?" one of Shark's grunts barked, stepping toward me "You don't just get to challenge Shark out of nowhere !"

"Yeah, beat it, wannabe !" the other chimed in.

I ignored them and kept my eyes on Shark/Reginald "What's the matter ? Afraid I'll beat you in one turn ?"

Shark chuckled, waving his hand to silence his lackeys "You've got guts, I'll give you that. Fine. Let's do this. Right here, right now."

A crowd formed around us and buzzled with excitement.

Shark activated his Duel Disk as i oulled mine out of my bag, snapping it onto my arm and activating it.

Shenlong : 4000 LP

Shark : 4000 LP

I locked eyes with Shark "Let's see if you live up to your reputation."

Shark smirked "You'll regret this, newbie. Your move."

"Fine by me." I drew my first hand, scanning my cards before grinning "I summon Minairuka in attack position !"

Minairuka

Water/Fish - Level 4

[ATK 1500/DEF 500]

"I set two cards face-down and end my turn."

"My turn." Shark said as he drew "I summon Shocktopus in attack position !"

Before his monster could even materialize, I flipped one of my set cards "Not so fast. I activate Bottomless Trap Hole ! Your Shocktopus is banished the moment it hits the field."

Shark scowled as his monster disappeared in a swirl of light "Tch. I set one card face-down and end my turn."

"My draw." I looked at my hand and smirked "I sacrifice Minairuka to summon Frostosaurus in attack position !"

Frostosaurus

Water/Dinosaur - Level 6

[ATK 2600/DEF 1700]

"Frostosaurus, attack Shark directly !"

The holographic dinosaur roared as its icy blast struck Shark, forcing him to shield himself from the impact.

Shark : 1400 LP

"I'll end my turn there." I said, crossing my arms.

Shark clenched his teeth as he drew. "I summon a monster in face-down defense position and end my turn."

"I draw." I announced "I summon Barrier Statue of the Torrent in attack position !"

Barrier Statue of the Torrent

Water/Aqua - Level 4

[ATK 1000/DEF 1000]

"Barrier Statue, attack his face-down monster !"

The small, crystalline barrier launched its attack, revealing Shark's monster to be Big Jaws. With only 300 DEF, it was destroyed instantly a'd sent to the GY.

"And now, Frostosaurus, finish this duel ! Attack Shark directly !"

The dinosaur unleashed another freezing attack, and Shark's Life Points dropped to zero.

Shark : 0 LP

The crowd fell silent as Shark dropped to his knees, stunned. "I... I lost ?"

I lowered my Duel Disk "That was a good duel. Let's see you all on sunday." I said, walking away as the murmurs of the crowd started up again.

Behind me, Yuma stared in awe, his fists clenched with determination.

[First time writing a duel, did i do a good work ? What can i improve ?]
