Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"The winner of the third duel is Ryo Marufuji from the Obelisk Blue dormitory!"

No matter what the mood and state of others are, a decision must be made at the moment when the outcome is clear. This is Professor Kuronos's task as the referee at this moment.

The moment Banzhou's basic score dropped to zero under the attack of Ryo Marufuji's [Armor Black Dragon - Electronic Dark Dragon] with an attack power of 9700 points, he promptly announced Marufuji's promotion and Banzhou's elimination.

It was only after that that he, like everyone else, marveled at the final blow that Ryo Marufuji had just struck. In the past, even if [Electronic Terminator Dragon] used [Restriction Release] or [Power Welding], it could only have 8000 attack points. Although it was far beyond the attack power of monsters in ordinary duels, compared to The 9700 points just now were still a little worse.

However, what was Ryo Marufuji's performance in the duel...

Not far behind him, Jonouchi curiously put his head next to Hayato and said, "Have you found the thing you are interested in, Hayato?"

"Even if the software is designed by Haima and the hardware configuration is produced by Wan Zhangmu Consortium, the call of data will take time, and delays will certainly not be avoided."

Hayato held up a completely transparent display screen with no mechanism visible, "Besides, Kaiba is preparing for the final loading check of the game console 'Cocoon' and the virtual world 'Duel-Links' that will be launched on a large scale soon after the semi-finals. , even the servers on the island are occupied with computing power.”

"It's like going from the 2024G network in 5 back to the 2G network twenty years ago. Slow loading is normal."

"Huh? Hayato, what are you talking about? This year is only 2006, right? Didn't Doshino City already have a comprehensive 6G network five years ago?" Jonouchi said a little strangely, "Although it's just Doshino City, others Even in places where Haima Group’s satellite coverage is relatively poor, it won’t be that they will still be using 2024G in 5, right?”

"What Hayato means is probably using 5G in the most backward places?" Yugi also guessed.

"It's just how you understand it. Anyway, that's pretty much what it means." Hayato said, casually sighing, "It's still Isi who can occasionally get the jokes I say."

Although the [Millennium Jewelry] has long been buried underground together with other [Millennium Artifacts], just like Becas can rely on her long-term negative contact with the [Millennium Eye] to retain some magic power. Isis has been using it since she was a child. The [Millennium Jewelry] also left some of that special power behind.

Although he teases Kaiba every day for "thinking about things a thousand years from now", in fact Hayato is also a person who always looks to the future. Only Isis, who can also see the future, can keep up with his excessive Thinking about leaps and bounds, but only in areas other than Duel Monsters.

In the world of duel monsters, it is considered good if there are only ten people who can match him, but does anyone who can be evenly matched with today's Hayato really exist? Last time, even Jonouchi, Kaiba and Yugi had gathered together, and the final winner was still Hayato. Although part of the reason was that Kaiba and the others had been in internal strife, but the same was not true for Hayato. Didn't you take out the complete form of [Pearl Tears]?

Not to mention, the current Hayato even obtained the [Tear of Tears Elegy Clan Kusha Nuwei Clan], commonly known as the "Red Mermaid", through a duel with the three of them, and further unlocked the "Wrath Brawl", also known as the "Red Mermaid". Dili"'s [Jushe Nuwei Clan]. Now that the two super mainstreams have merged into one, who can still be Hayato's opponent?

What else in the world can I resist? Damn it, what else in the world can I resist? !

Hayato felt that if he were the protagonist of some novel, he might be the protagonist of a sad novel when he couldn't even handle Becas's attack at the beginning, but now he is clearly the hero of a cool novel!

It's impossible for me to be invincible. The title of the next chapter is "Enemies from Beyond", right?

"Dudulu~"

The beep of loading completed attracted Hayato's attention, reminding him that although he had unlocked the [Kusa Nuwei Clan], he did not have enough DP points to redeem them all, and he also remembered that he was still doing business.

Looking down at the tablet that made the sound, the transparent screen displayed the entire replay of the duel between Banjo Meshun and Marufuji Ryo. However, it was not just a simple video, but everything in the duel was recorded in the form of data. Everything is recorded and reconstructed, and you can even clearly see the heart rate and other data of the two people during the duel by adjusting the options.

Um? How was the data collected? Yes, how did Kaiba do it? Hayato is also looking for the reason.

In short, Haima Group’s technology is amazing, right?

Not interested in the physical data of these adolescent boys, Hayato sifted through the cards and listed all the cards that appeared in the duel recorded on the duel disk on the screen. He glanced over and quickly found a card with a purple border. The fusion monster card - Marufuji's [Chimera Fortress Dragon].

However, when Hayato clicked on the card, the upper right corner of the screen automatically filtered out the cards with the same name in the database for comparison, and directly marked the differences with the records in the database, and notified Hayato whether Pop-up prompts for handling abnormal data.

After casually clicking "No" to close the pop-up window, Hayato checked the differences in the cards. Yugi also looked over curiously because Hayato did not hide it, but spread it directly in front of them: "[Embedded [Fortress Dragon], this card also has two versions of effects.”

"The first version of [Chimera Fortress Dragon] can only be specially summoned with [Fusion], and when the fusion summon is successful, all cards on its field other than itself will be sent to the graveyard. Although the attack power is 0, it will not be affected by It changes depending on the number of fusion materials, but the combat damage it can cause to both players is 0 and will not be destroyed by battle. Depending on the number of fusion material monsters, it can attack the opponent's monster multiple times, but each attack can be declared. Causes 400 points of effect damage."

Reciting the effect of the first version of [Chimera Fortress Dragon], the game complained: "Mr. Samejima's seems to be this version. The effect is quite consistent with the characteristics of his deck, especially when combined with [Nightmare Torment] room] when in use.”

(Fat Tiger and Xiaofu are convinced)

"Before Duel Academy was established, I suffered a lot when I met Mr. Samejima at the World Championships. Fortunately, Hayato called Mr. Samejima to Duel Academy as the vice-principal and prevented him from competing at the World Championships. Huh, I mean, let other players see the power of 'Electronic Flow'." Afterwards, he noticed that Samejima was looking at Hayato in the distance. He didn't know that he actually wanted to ask Hayato for a question. Jonouchi who said "Give Ryo the 'Ridenron'" thought he had heard him speaking ill of him behind his back, so he quickly changed his words.

In order to work with Hayato to open the final secret of "Electronic Flow" - that is, the seal of [Ryuuki Takumi], Samejima almost burned his souls to squeeze the cards he used [Electronic Darkness]. What happened afterwards Because of this, Samejima's body was damaged and it became difficult for him to bear that level of duel again. For this reason, he reluctantly gave the "Uratron Current" to Hayato when Hayato said that he could awaken a new [Ryuuki Takumi].

However, "I'm injured" ≠ "I can't duel". People like Malik whose soul has been literally cracked can pick up the duel plate again after recuperation, let alone Samejima, and he is just In the World Championship instead of a high-load duel like a dark game.

I remember that it was 2001, five years ago. It was the year Duel Academy was established, the year Hayato and the others graduated, the year GenX was held for the first time, and it was also the only year Samejima participated in the World Championship. In the semi-finals, Samejima faced Jonouchi, who signed a contract with the Duelist Agency of Kaiba Group after graduation and became a professional duelist. Even a gambling king like Jonouchi was almost defeated by Samejima's blood-burning combo, but in the end he was defeated by Samejima's blood-burning combo. Remember [Black Flame Bullet] to use the same blood-burning tactics to make a comeback. Needless to say, there was no need to say more about the subsequent finals, which was a "decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City". However, because the opponent in the city was actually Peacock Dance, the professional duelist world competition was turned into a show for this yellow-haired couple. A large-scale dog food distribution site for affection and flirtation. Samejima, on the other hand, accepted Hayato's invitation and became the vice-principal of Duel Academy with some regrets that he showed up again after Duel Kingdom but still only made it to the top four.

Jonouchi proved in that duel that even though they were among the top four of the Duel Kingdom, he was stronger than Samejima. He also felt the same frustration as Hayato and other opponents who had played against Samejima. The feeling of humiliation, that uncomfortable feeling of not being able to break through the opponent's watertight defense, but being burned little by little with various troublesome cards, among which [Chimera Fortress Dragon] left a particularly deep impression on Jonouchi.

"But the card named Ryo's kid just now doesn't have that effect, right?" Jonouchi looked at the tablet in Hayato's hand, "The fusion material is the same [Electronic Dragon] and one or more mechanical monsters, but it becomes Instead of being able to fusion summon, monsters on both sides of the field can be sent to the graveyard to be used as fusion materials for direct special summons. At the same time, they also gain resistance like [Five Array Magician] that cannot be used as fusion materials.”

"The attack power is not always 0 in Mr. Samejima's version, but has the effect of 'turning the original attack power into a value equal to the number of fusion material monsters x 1000 points'. I still like this version better than Mr. Samejima's version. A little more version.”

Compared to the blood-burning and tortured prison monster, Jonouchi is more accepting of this version of [Chimeric Fortress Dragon] used by Ryo Marufuji. But at the same time, he had new doubts.

"Mr. Samejima's style is blood-burning tactics, and the kid named Liang prefers to attack more forcefully, so he uses two different versions of cards. I can understand this." Pointing to the data displayed on the tablet, "But I had doubts during the duel just now - why can the attack version of [Chimera Fortress Dragon] be summoned by [Fusion] like the blood-burning version of [Chimera Fortress Dragon]? The effect is still the same as before. version of."

"This is probably growth. Changes in the physical body will affect the human spirit, and similarly, spiritual transformation can also make changes in the material world." Hayato thought of his [Hungry and Poison Fusion Dragon] and said. When I first got that card, her effect was still the real card version, but now it has transformed into a perfect version that retains the advantages of the real card version and the animated version and removes the flaws as it continues to absorb and devour the power of other beings. Even The same is true for cards such as [Desire Poison Fusion Dragon] that evolved later.

"It has evolved in terms of summoning conditions, but still retains its underlying effects? It is indeed similar to the child himself." Watching Ryo Marufuji leave the field, Yugi said, "In the middle of the duel, suddenly He realized something and drastically changed his dueling style and even his personality. It seems really scary, but if you look closely, you can realize that he has not changed the deepest color of his heart. "

"Even if the method used seems to be 'blackened', he still retains his 'light' as a duelist." After a pause, Yugi smiled, "This is probably the 'black will' and the 'golden will' Spiritual coexistence, right? He is a student very similar to you, Hayato."

Saying that, Yugi turned his head and saw Kyoko looking at him with a subtle expression: "What's wrong, Kyoko?"

"We don't know much about dueling monsters, but you said, Yugi, that kid's personality suddenly changed during the duel, and we have a lot of say." Kyoko complained, "We are the least qualified to say this about others. Aren't you just a game? In the past, when Atum was still in the world, you sometimes behaved as if you were schizophrenic. Even the teachers at school told us to take more care of you as friends. "

"Ah hahaha, is that so?" Hearing Kyoko say this, Yugi laughed a little embarrassedly, as if he had turned back into the shy boy in high school.

When Rebecca heard this, she suddenly stretched out her hand and hugged one of Yugi's arms, squinted at Kyoko and said, "Don't always mention the things in high school that only you two remember. Do you think you and Darling are the only ones who have something special?" Shared memories? Darling and I went to the same university!"

"I'm not convinced when you say this. If you have to say it, Yugi and I are childhood sweethearts, right?" He also hugged Yugi's other arm unceremoniously and squeezed it tightly with his strong chest muscles. , increase the pressure to increase the friction, Kyoko deliberately teased Rebecca, "Not to mention high school, even in junior high school and elementary school, I have unique memories of the game~"

Looking at the game of "It's over! I'm surrounded by young girls and blondes", Jonouchi subconsciously complained: "They're just one step away from getting the marriage certificate, but they're still arguing. Is this also part of their game?"

"It sounds like you also want to find someone to play that kind of play?" The gentle voice of Peacock Mai came to my ears, but it made Jonouchi's breathing suddenly hitch. She put her arms around Jonouchi's neck and made love to him very affectionately. After making a hug, Maoque Wu's other hand suddenly grabbed Jonouchi's ear, and gradually increased his strength and said, "Be honest, did you have any idea in your mind that another woman was sitting next to you and snatching you away from me? !”

"That Kitamori Reiko who signed a professional duelist agency with you? That Vivian Wang who flirted with you at last year's World Championship? Don't tell me you were thinking of Barong just now!"

"It's unfair. Although Kitamori Reiko confessed her love to me, didn't I refuse in front of you? Vivian also asked me if there was any way to get Hayato's autograph. After the game, I wrote it for me by Hayato. His name was deducted from the written review and given to her. Barong, I don’t even know where he is!”

------

"Ah sneeze!" At the gate of the Electronic Flow Gym, Barong was lying on a deck chair, enjoying the warm sunshine at noon. He suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said to himself: "How come all of a sudden? Are you sneezing? Could it be that the nun you met in the church yesterday was talking about me? No, she must be thinking about me!"

"It won't rain all the time, but it will rain first." The voice of the former teacher came from the gym, "Barong, the toilet is blocked!"

Helplessly getting up, Barong walked towards the gym and replied: "I know, here we go -"

------

"Huh? You really thought about Barong!"

"Darling/Game, she and I fell into the water, who do you save first?"

"Hey! Hayato save me!" X2

Hayato, who stood up from his seat and left the scene temporarily, looked back at Yugi who was "hugging left and right" and Jonouchi who was "kissing" Maiko Mai: "Jounouchi? Yugi? (No concern)" (End of this chapter)
