Chapter 23- Fire Power

"You know the drill, and so do I," Yuuta muttered to himself, eyes already sliding toward the leftmost card like a gambling addict spotting a familiar slot machine.

Just like always, he started from the left. And just like always, what greeted him made him lose all sense of dignity—if he even had any left.

The moment he laid eyes on the drawing of a swirling ball of magical chaos, his whole ugly frog face lit up.

"FUCK yes!" Yuuta bellowed, leaping into the air like a jacked-up spring, his slimy frog tongue lashing out and whipping around like an idiot's party streamer.

He landed with a little bounce and rubbed his green hands together like a scheming villain. The card floated serenely before him, displaying its description in crisp, glowing script:

[MAGIC MISSILE]
