Chapter 1495: Heavy Trap vs Heavy Trap. Part
"Qiang——!"

The sound of metal friction was heard, and the Six Samurai - Nizo, who was wielding two swords, crossed his weapons and stuck them to a pair of broad green toothed leaves that suddenly rose from the ground and intended to bite Misawa and the others, giving them a chance to escape, but a dissolving liquid suddenly spit out of the leaves and hit the Six Samurai - Nizo at close range, rendering them powerless and falling into the "hole" that suddenly appeared under their feet.

Because the summoned duel monster disappeared, Misawa suddenly felt deeply tired and his running speed slowed down a little, but fortunately, Kenzan and Manjōmu beside him pulled him and ran together, so he was not left behind.

"That's because the monsters we summon can only last for a moment before disappearing." Pulling Sanze to avoid a spider web that covered the sky from above, Wanzhangmu said to Jianshan, "We only summon monsters when necessary."

"【Dark Armed Dragon】!"

The moment the giant spider that failed to catch its prey with its web swooped down from the sky, the black dragon swung its tail and accurately swept the spider's body, knocking it away. At the same time, it turned around and smashed its arm, using its sturdy arm armor to accurately catch the leaves of the pitcher plant that was attacking from behind, preventing it from closing.

"Now is the time to break out!"

Seizing the opportunity when the surrounding monsters were restrained by the [Dark Armed Dragon], Wanzhangmu hurriedly called out to Jianshan to follow him and run away quickly.

"There really are materialized Duel Monsters." Jianshan looked back at the Dark Armed Dragon. An antlion broke out of the ground and launched a sneak attack, breaking the stalemate. The Dark Armed Dragon also dragged several huge carnivorous insects and plants and broke several large trees before being swallowed by a dangerous "hole". "I have to believe it now."

Misawa had just recovered, and now it was Manjome's turn to become exhausted because the monster disappeared. Moreover, due to the visible gap between [Dark Armed Dragon] and [Six Samurai - Nizo], Manjome's loss of physical strength was obviously much higher, and even his face turned pale.

Now it was Kenshan's turn to stand between Misawa and Manjyoume, dragging them one by one and running away together. As he ran, he asked, "Principal Kobayashi is so irresponsible to arrange such a dangerous environment for us! Where are the 'small animals' that were promised to be on the island?"

"If you really believe it, then you've been fooled. After all, we are duelists, right? From the beginning, we should be ready to fight." Manjomu complained and pointed forward, "If I remember correctly, this direction is the destination villa that Mr. Hayato mentioned. If we quickly escape to the destination, we can end the chase."

"That's right, I just confirmed it on the mountain." Misawa said, and then looked at Kenzan, "But don't worry, although it looks extremely dangerous, Mr. Hayato won't joke with our lives. As long as we are prepared to fight to the death, we should be able to escape successfully, right?"

"We all saw how those materialized Duel Monsters acted. Seniors, you guys are too confident that nothing will go wrong, aren't you?" Thinking of those ferocious plants and animals just now, Jianshan complained again, "But what kind of cards were those monsters just now? I've never heard of a deck that has both Plant and Insect types."

"No, I remember seeing both plant-type and insect-type [Natural] monsters in Vanaheim in [Light World War - Queen Mador], but their personalities were much more docile, more like the [Cartoon] monsters of Mr. Bekas, the father of Duel Monsters." Misawa paused, looking back at the pursuers who were gradually being left behind, "And these latter ones give people the feeling that they are more like Mr. Hayato's [Predatory Plants]."

"It probably has nothing to do with [predatory plants]. Among those guys behind us, there are not only plants, but also many arthropods. The commonality is not 'carnivorous' or 'predators', but something else." Manjomu denied Misawa's speculation, "But now is not the time to think about those things. Relax after reaching the end."

As they ran, they saw the finish line appearing in front of them very quickly. Many people, including Hayato Kobayashi, were waiting in front of the finish line to welcome their arrival.

It felt like they hadn't run very far, but they had reached the finish line so quickly? It was a bit unreal, but the finish line was right in front of them. The three of them didn't hesitate and ran towards the finish line.

It only took a few seconds, perhaps because willpower squeezed out all the physical strength, the three of them actually quickly ran to the villa at the end. Only after they stepped through the gate of the villa and into the garden did they slow down a little and relax a little.

It was also at this time that the dangerous monsters that had been following the three people reappeared. Although Manjomu and the others had already run into the garden of the villa, they still tried to break into the safe zone and catch these "cooked ducks that had flown away" with some determination.

But obviously, Hayato Kobayashi also released his [Plant Predator] monsters here, and they did not allow other predators to trespass into their territory. The vines entangled it and turned it into a three-headed dragon, slapping a monster to death with one slap, and killing the trespassing monsters, and soon drove them all out.

Seeing monsters like spiders, flytraps, and antlions being driven away, Manjōme and the others confirmed that they had truly entered the safe zone, and they couldn't help but relax. Although Kenshan still had a lot of strength, Manjōme and Misawa sat down in the garden to rest.

"We escaped? From that demon?" Misawa said uncertainly.

"Yes, children, you escaped."

The one who answered him was not Kenzan or Manjyoume, but Hayato Kobayashi who was waiting for them in front of the villa.

"Teacher Hayato?" Misawa looked at the peacefully smiling Hayato in front of him with some surprise, and then looked at the group of monsters behind him that had long disappeared. He did not find the "devil" he saw at the beginning among them. "Why are you in front of us? I thought you were..."

"The one who controlled the group of monsters and attacked us with the 'hole' that seemed to lead to another dimension was not you, Mr. Hayato?" Manjomu was a little embarrassed. He thought that it was Hayato himself who was chasing them, so he was so nervous. It turned out that Hayato had been waiting for them at the finish line. He was completely wrong.

It was precisely because they thought that person was Hayato that Manjome and Misawa chose to only address the pursuer as "that devil", a term similar to "You-Know-who". After all, it would be absolutely impossible to expose Hayato's disguise. This matter was also recorded in the "Duel Academy 2005 Halloween Celebration Summary Report".

On Halloween Eve, the students of the Duel Academy are on holiday and will not attend classes, giving them plenty of time to prepare for the night's carnival. Most of them will cosplay as various ghosts or duel monsters to participate in the joint celebration held by the academy. For example, last year, Manjomu carefully prepared a [Destruction Swordsman] costume on that day, because it is indeed terrifying for users of Dragon decks to encounter a [Destruction Sword] deck.

As a celebration for duelists, duels are inevitable. Last year's celebration activity was "ghost catching people", where school staff dressed as ghosts wandered around. Participants who defeated the ghosts could get various generous rewards, including candy, snacks and even Halloween-themed duel monster cards.

As the principal, Kobayashi Hayato naturally also participated in the event and played a ghost. He played the classic monster zombie - although the style looked a bit special, with clear black and white, it was more like a masked O-man or the kind that ran out of a video game than a zombie.

He was acting well at first, and because he was using a Halloween-related [Ghost Trick] deck, even Manjome fought him back and forth, and he almost defeated Hayato who was letting him win.

As a result, Manjome was too arrogant because he was able to defeat Hayato, and even threatened Hayato who was playing the role of a ghost, even though Hayato repeatedly emphasized that "he was just a zombie passing by." As a result, Kobayashi Hayato, who was annoyed by his own shouting, said something like "I'm tired of these red tapes" and "I'm abandoning my bottom line here", and suddenly started to beat himself up. He also changed his previous attitude of slacking off and started hunting mode, capturing and defeating students who were wandering around the academy, and then assigned a lethal amount of homework.

Since then, all the students in the school know one thing - when Hayato Kobayashi appears in a disguised identity, even if you can see it, it is better to pretend that you didn't recognize him. It is better to pretend that you didn't recognize him than to go head-to-head with the Duel King.

When Misawa and Manjome were in the forest before, they really felt that they met Hayato Kobayashi, because although they couldn't see the face and body shape of the person who controlled the group of monsters and could release the "hole", the tone of his speech was exactly the same as the tone of Hayato's speech sometimes. To describe it in one word, it was "Dio within Dio".

The attitude of playing with each other, which was somewhat similar to that of a cat playing with a mouse, and the strength displayed by the opponent was indeed overwhelming, so Misawa and Manjōme both thought that the opponent was really Hayato Kobayashi, and he was pretending to be some role to play the "hunting game".

Who knew, it wasn’t?

"What? Was it Principal Kobayashi who was chasing us just now?" Jianshan said in surprise.

"This topic has passed." Upon hearing this, Manjomu complained with some disdain. After a pause, he looked at Hayato again and asked something he was very concerned about, "Teacher Hayato, has anyone else reached the finish line before us?"

"No, you are the first to arrive." Hayato smiled at them gently and said, "According to the order in which they came in just now, you, Manjome Jun, were even the first to walk in here, followed by Misawa Daichi and Dilano Kenzan."

"Really?!" Wanzhangmu was a little surprised, "I am actually the first one?!"

"Brother, is he still behind me?" Jianshan was also a little surprised.

Misawa was even more touched: "My name was pronounced correctly?!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"You're focusing on the wrong thing!" Wanzhangmu and Jianshan complained in unison.

"That's right, okay? What do you know? You guys have never been called the wrong name before!" Misawa's face was heavy and serious, "People really can't understand each other!"

"Don't quarrel. At least now, you can enjoy the joy of being the winners together." Hayato interrupted the conversation and took out a few medals with a smile. "Now, congratulations on passing this event."

At the same time, several lovely girls walked out of Hayato's villa. They looked somewhat familiar, but Manjomu and the others could not remember where they had seen them before.

"Congratulations."

As Hayato walked towards the few people with medals, as if he was going to put the medals on them and "award" them, the girls laughed and applauded, congratulating them.

"Congratulations, Dilano Kenzan." A middle-aged man who looked like an archaeologist appeared in the garden. When Hayato hung the bronze medal representing the third place on Kenzan's neck, he also handed a stone to Kenzan and said, "Take it. This is the skull of a new dinosaur we recently excavated. We plan to name it after you."

"Really?!" Surprised, Jianshan took the fossil and couldn't let it go.

"Congratulations, classmate Misawa Daichi." Another white-haired old man appeared. Misawa recognized him at a glance. He was Professor Bein Stein, who proposed the "Dueling Grand Unification" theory and was going to give a lecture at the Duel Academy this semester. "You are really excellent and outstanding. People can't forget you after seeing you once. I am still in need of an assistant. I wonder if you are interested in helping me?"

"Of course I do!" After Hayato hung a silver medal around his neck, Misawa immediately shook hands with Professor Bein Stein excitedly and accepted the invitation.

Behind Manjomu, Judai and the others had reached the finish line at some point, and said to Manjomu with envy, "Wow, Manjomu, you're actually the first place, isn't that amazing?"

"Stupid Yujo Judai, it's Mr. Manjome!" Marufuji Sho scolded Judai and looked at Manjome with admiration, "Compared to Yujo Judai, Mr. Manjome Jun you are more suitable to be my big brother!"

"You're really impressive, that's right. No, you're the best in our family!" Even Manjomu's eldest and second brothers showed up here. They looked at Manjomu with satisfaction as he received the gold medal awarded by Kobayashi Hayato, and gave him a thumbs up with an approving expression.

"Congratulations." The legendary duelists, Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba and others surrounded him and applauded.

"Congratulations." The designers of the International Illusion Agency, led by Bekas, presented various powerful cards to him.

"Congratulations." All the teachers and classmates I know in the college are full of admiration for me.

Something seemed wrong? But the air was too sweet, and no one had the extra energy to divert their attention from everything in front of them and think about unimportant things.

Looking at the three people immersed in their own fantasies, the real body of "that devil" who was controlling many monsters to chase them also walked out of the forest calmly.

"Compared to the past [Star Warriors], the power of this deck of cards is really strong." Looking at the ferocious monsters around Manjomu and others, which existed in the places where cute girls were in their illusions, the mysterious man wearing a mask stretched lazily, revealing his graceful figure.

I have a feeling that the illustrations for the next few chapters will not pass review (after all, even the original drawings of Explosion Girl are going to be rejected)
