Alexis Tributes " Frost Tiger " and the " Pillar Token " to Summon " Ice Queen " .

Alexis attacks , and Reggie moves to activate her face - down card . Before she can , Alexis plays " Instant Freeze " from his her hand , which would return Reggie ' s Set card to its face - down position and prevent its activation for three turns .

Thus , she is able to activate " Light of the Master " , which increases the attack and defense points of one Fairy - type monster by 300 . " Ice Queen " is destroyed . Reggie has won , as Alexis as no monsters to defend her , and " Venus " would attack her directly next turn . Reggie thanks her for the Duel , stating she was glad to experience the strength that Duel Academy holds , and they both vow to Duel again in the tournament finals . Reggie asks Alexis if she knows anything about cards with spirits in them . Alexis responds that she doesn ' t , but that he heard Jaden Yuki talk of that once . Jaden himself has just met David Rabb in the forest , and is speaking to him in the best English he can muster , very slowly , not realizing that David is fluent in Japanese . David explains this , and Jaden challenges him to a Duel , which David declines , as dueling a Slifer Red student would garner as many tournament points as a Ra Yellow or Obelisk Blue student , and David aims to enter the finals . He states that Yellow would be worth five Reds , while a Blue would be worth ten Reds . In addition , he ' s already dueled one red student , and states he was no match for him . David departs , and Jaden is infuriated by his disrespect for the color red . He vows to make it the finals so he can Duel David . He encounters and Oblisk Blue student , who does agree to Duel him .
