Brier: "..."
Looking at the field—Nightmare Wheel, Bowganian, Submarineroid, and those annoying Ojama tokens—
A sense of deep helplessness.
Just one turn, and they’d lost 1900 LP, with the monster zones still locked. Their hand offered no hope of a comeback.
It was hopeless.
"Don’t give up!"
Beauregard suddenly spoke.
Brier was stunned: "Beauregard..."
But then he shook his head, gritting his teeth: "What’s the point? This is Ra Yellow’s Big Villain—we were never going to win.
And with this field, I don’t see any way out. We haven’t even scratched his LP.
Do you think we could turn it around with a single draw?!"
Beauregard fell silent.
Then spoke quietly: "Brier, honestly... I know I’m nowhere near as good as you at dueling. I don’t get it.
But no one ever cared about me before, until I ended up in the same dorm with you. When you got mad about my problems like they were your own, I was so happy.
I do this—not because I’m mad at those arrogant elites, but because I want to do something for you."
"Beauregard..." Brier was speechless, moved.
"So—"
Beauregard stepped forward, full of spirit.
"We’ve always relied on your tactics, your skills. But now it’s my turn—to do something for you!"
Kira: "..."
Wait, aren’t you two the ones illegally hunting rare cards? Why do your lines make me sound like the final boss?
"My turn! Draw!"
Beauregard drew, his arm arcing dramatically.
"Activate ’Allure of Darkness’—draw two, then banish a DARK monster from my hand!"
Motivated, Beauregard drew two.
Seeing the cards, Brier gaped.
"That card... you drew it, now, of all times... Beauregard, you really..."
He quickly regained composure.
"Summon it, Beauregard! This is proof of our bond—our comeback!"
"Alright!"
Beauregard showed a card.
"First, banish ’Goblin Black Ops’ for Allure’s effect."
He banished one card, then slapped down the one he’d just drawn.
"I tribute ’Gilasaurus’ to Advance Summon—appear, the card that connects our bond—
—Level 6, Prime Material Dragon!!!"
Gilasaurus vanished in the tribute vortex, replaced by a golden, abstract dragon emerging from the light!
[Prime Material Dragon, ATK 2400]
