As it moved, a huge, pure white crystal slowly descended, and the witch, clad in complete white and wearing a white witch's hat, lightly landed on the ground.
Rilliona, the Magistus of Verre, LV 4, Light Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 800.
"Wow!"
"Ohhhh—"
This is the true form of the Great Sage!
Some new apprentice Witchcrafters were even seeing this form of the "Master" for the first time. To be honest, even the Tailor was seeing this form for the first time.
Such a feeling of "holiness," distinct from the usual "trash" and "touch."
Tenjo Hikari raised his eyebrow.
Could it be time to pivot to the Great Sage deck?
But he was wrong.
No such thing happened.
"When I successfully Summon·Special Summon, I can choose 1 effect from the following. 1. Add 1 Great Sage Spell or Trap from the Deck to the hand; 2. Return 1 banished LV 4 or lower Spellcaster-Type Monster to the Graveyard."
"I choose to add the Great Sage Spell Card from the Deck to my hand."
Using its small body to control the crystalline structure, it lightly raised its left hand, and a card flashed with light, emerging from the Deck—not, appearing out of thin air.
"I add Verre Magic - Lacrima of Light to my hand!"
"Verre Magic?"
"Eh, isn't this card supposed to be—"
"This card is also treated as a Great Sage or Witchcrafter card according to the rules."
There really is such a thing.
A bunch of Spirits exclaimed in awe.
"Activate Spell Card, Witchcrafter's Slack Off." Seeing Tenjo Hikari still hasn't made a move, Rilliona knew that she couldn't just directly use Lacrima of Light right now, so she opened one of her hand cards.
The card image depicts her sleeping soundly in the glass workshop and then being found by the disciples.
"This card allows you to Special Summon 1 Witchcrafter Monster from your Graveyard."
"Special Summon Witchcrafter Madame Verre."
One big, one small, one from the past, one from the present, two different yet same Monsters appeared at the same time.
Witchcrafter Madame Verre, LV 8, Light Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, DEF 2800.
Rilliona looked at Tenjo Hikari's field, making her own judgment.
Magnum's effect must be triggered by other cards' effects, then it follows up to destroy a card on the field, so if she uses her effect to invalidate the opponent's effect, it will surely be counteracted and destroyed, making its nullification meaningless.
Therefore, she must first let the opponent trigger an effect and then follow up with hers; that would be reasonable.
"Activate Quick-Play Spell Card, Verre Magic - Lacrima of Light."
She takes out the Spell Card she acquired earlier, and countless transparent crystals begin to shimmer in the Dueling Hall, "One of its two effects can be activated. Since its second effect can only be activated when the opponent triggers an effect, I will directly use the first effect.
Activate if a Great Sage or Witchcrafter Monster exists on your field. Send 1 Spellcaster-Type Monster or Spell Card from the Deck to the Graveyard.
I send Witchcrafter Artisan to the Graveyard."
"Then—my beloved students, what's next is a display of advanced applications in Magic."
A group of Witchcrafter apprentices looked at each other, not knowing precisely what she was referring to.
Tierra curiously gazed over, pondering what "advanced techniques" she referred to, sounding so serious.
"Activate the effect of Witchcrafter Artisan in the Graveyard, once per turn, I can banish this card and 1 Witchcrafter Spell Card from my Graveyard to activate it. This effect becomes the effect when the card is activated—
What I want to activate is the second choice of Verre Magic - Lacrima of Light!"
"What, what?"
"It can't be; didn't you say the second effect can only activate when the opponent triggers an effect?"
A group of Spirits erupted into a passionate discussion as if in a boiling cauldron.
Rilliona's operations seemed as if nonsensical, seemingly pulling something out of thin air, leaving them in disbelief.
Tierra blinked, then turned to Tenjo Hikari; Hikari nodded and said, "Yes, it can be used, just like Diamond Man, you should have seen it."
So, that's how it is.
Tierra suddenly understood.
"The copied effect is the effect at activation, not requiring COST or anything; as long as it can be activated, it can be used." It gently sketched a few patterns in the air, turning into transparent crystals, "I banish Verre Magic and Artisan, special summon—Forge Witch."
Forge? Really?
A few Witchcrafter apprentices looked at each other, confused.
"I must admit, last turn I wasn't serious, not acting as a proper Trial Taker, so I haphazardly sent Witchcrafter Edel to the Graveyard. If possible, I should have chosen a more suitable card."
"But now, I'm giving it my all~ Activate Spell Card, Witchcrafter Confusion Confession~"
The card depicts her casually dumping tasks on students and then running away herself.
Clearly, Witchcrafter Edel had a significant grievance with her, while the Tailor wasn't mentally ready to become a "Master" so suddenly.
"As someone pursuing Extreme Fusion, Duelist, let's see how this unfolds~" It smirked, "The Fusion Conditions are 1 Witchcrafter Monster and 1 Spellcaster-Type Monster. Chain, anyone?"
