"Duel!" X2
[Johan: 4000 LP]
[Hayato: 4000 LP]
After receiving encouragement from Rafael, Johan also mustered his courage. Looking at Hayato, he drew his hand, and even took the first turn before Hayato. "I understand, Teacher. Then I'll take the first turn, Mr. Hayato. My Turn, Draw Card!"
Watching Johan draw his card, Hayato glanced at the Perfect Hand in his hand, and smiled calmly. "That's right, Johan, show us your will! I'm really looking forward to seeing you play."
"However, what is this dream Rafael mentioned?"
"Well..." Johan shyly touched his nose. "That's my secret. It's too embarrassing to tell others." Looking at Hayato with clear eyes, he chose to use the duel to change the subject.
Taking out two cards and placing them on the Duel Disk, Johan said, "From my Hand, I Normal Summon Earth Spider in Face-up Defense Position, and activate the Equip Spell Card Guardian Power, equipping it to it."
To the surprise of Joey Wheeler and the others watching nearby, the monster used by the cute-looking Johan was a terrifying-looking Insect Type monster. A strange-looking spider descended along a silk thread onto Johan's Field in Defense Position, and a strange radiance fell and enveloped it.
Earth Spider [Level 4 / EARTH]
[Insect Type / Effect]
[0 ATK / 1500 DEF]
However, Hayato wasn't too surprised that Johan was using an Insect Type Deck. After all, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga Timeline where Pegasus was deceased, Jesse Andersen, who didn't have Crystal Beast, used an Insect Type Deck.
Although the hat Johan wore covered most of his hair, the parts visible from the edges showed that his hair color was the same aquamarine as his eyes. Combined with being the same age as Judai Yuki and Manjoume Jun, and even having an almost identical personality and the rare ability to see spirits.
Hayato was certain that Johan, adopted by Rafael, was very likely the future Crystal Beast User, Jesse Andersen. Although he couldn't help but remark on how coincidental things were, perhaps it was truly as that saying went, "people meet because of attraction."
"Insect Type cards, huh? And such a simple opening, it really feels like returning to Duelist Kingdom," Hayato said casually. "However, that Guardian Power card is..."
Hearing this, Johan glanced at Rafael beside him, and Rafael pulled down the brim of his hat. "Even I couldn't just stand by and not help Johnny, and just watch him use his Deck. I merely gave him one copy of the Guardian Power card that I didn't urgently need."
"One? Drawing a one-of-a-kind card from the Deck on the first turn is quite good," Hayato smiled, but then said, "However, Guardian Power in a state without even one Spell Counter is basically just a blank slate. I can easily destroy your Earth Spider just by using cards like Raigeki."
"I wouldn't fail to consider that, Mr. Hayato. If I want to avoid that situation, wouldn't adding a Spell Counter to Guardian Power be enough?" Johan smiled and played another card from his hand. "Activate the Spell Card Spell Power Grasp, targeting the Guardian Power on my Field that can have Spell Counters placed on it."
"Place one Spell Counter on it, and after that, add another Spell Power Grasp from my Deck to my hand."
Guardian Power (Counters 0 → 1)
Earth Spider [0 ATK / 1500 DEF → 500 ATK / 2000 DEF]
With the placement of the Spell Counter, the ATK/DEF of the Earth Spider on Johan's Field was increased. Johan then drew two more cards from his hand and placed them in the Back Row. "Then I Set two cards. My turn ends here, Mr. Hayato."

Earth Spider (Guardian Power) [2000 DEF]
[Set Card] X2
When it was Hayato's turn, he first drew a card from his Deck. After glancing at the Earth Spider on Johan's Field, he also performed a Normal Summon of a monster first. "My turn, draw card! Then I Normal Summon Dragonmaid Laundry Dragon."
"Hehehe, Little Blue is here!"
On Hayato's field, Little Blue hurriedly appeared holding a basket of folded clothes. After placing the basket in his hand on the ground, he wanted to spin in place and strike a cool pose, but didn't expect his tail to accidentally hit the basket and knock it over, and the clean clothes fell onto the ground and got dirty again.
Little Blue: "Ying ying ying~"
[Dragonmaid Laundry Dragon] [500 ATK]
"Do you believe in milling? I really admire the first person who put three copies of Little Blue in their Deck, because they might send all the Pot of Greed to the Graveyard." Muttering lines that seemed meaningless, Hayato said with a wave of his hand, "Activate her effect when Dragonmaid Laundry Dragon is successfully Normal Summoned. Send three cards from the Top of my Deck to the Graveyard."
"The cards I send to the Graveyard are these three!"
Revealing the three cards from the Top of his Deck, appearing in Hayato's hand were Aleister the Invoker, Rainbow Kuriboh, and Pot of Greed.
Raising an eyebrow, Hayato sent all three cards to the Graveyard and sighed helplessly. "As expected, this is the kind of Graveyard Little Blue mills. It's really disappointing. However, although it's a pity that Pot of Greed was sent to the Graveyard, it's not like I didn't send useful cards to the Graveyard."
"Fusion Summon is the most noble summoning method! I must immediately activate a Spell Card, Invocation!" Hayato played the card from his hand. "Send the Fusion Material determined by the Fusion Monster from my hand to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from the Fusion Deck. This is the effect of this card."
"But when I Fusion Summon a Summoned Monster Fusion Monster, I can banish Fusion Material from my Field and both players' Graveyards."
Aleister the Invoker and Rainbow Kuriboh, the two cards just now sent to the Graveyard, were taken out of the Graveyard by Hayato again, turning into phantoms on the Field.
"The Fusion Material is Aleister the Invoker and one LIGHT Attribute monster! Oh, Chariot of Light named after the divine Hexagram, dispel everything and bring me victory!"
"Invoked Mechaba!"
