Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

Chapter 1528: Let’s talk about the other side. The situation on Wanzhangmu’s side is miserable.

"There's something that I'm curious about, Mr. Hayato." After watching the helicopter carrying Ameruda and the others leave the island, Sera looked at Hayato in confusion and said, "Why aren't other people angry with you for treating others as tools to be used?"

"You were taking advantage of them without their knowledge."

Not only did Sera use the duels of Amerda, Kajiki Yuta, and Keith to collect duel energy for herself from various situations, but she was also referring to Judai and others who were sent to the island by Hayato for adventure and then sent back to the Duel Academy by Hayato immediately after the event.

It can't be that Hayato really cares about his students and their growth, right? That kind of reason can only fool people like Ed who have a fan filter for Hayato. If you tell Malik and others about it, no one will believe it.

Not only Sera, but Bakura was also looking at Hayato with an expression of "I'm curious", waiting for his answer.

"Because I'm strong."

Hayato said confidently, "I am stronger than any of them, and even if they join together, they are not as strong as me, so no one will be angry about being my pawns. After all, I treat them as precious pawns and use them, not useless pawns that can be discarded and sacrificed. Isn't this enough for them to be grateful?"

"Because of this reason?" Sera raised her eyebrows.

"As the old saying goes, 'It is the greatest honor to be a dog of the Ming Dynasty'. What's wrong with me using Kajiki Yuta and the others? It's not like I won't pay them." Hayato spread his hands, "Besides, I use them to help my students grow because I care about them. Alas, how can there be a duelist as caring as me in the world?"

Hearing Hayato's words, Bakura was quite moved and said, "You are quite gentle as always, Hayato-kun."

"Hehe, you are worthy of being my best friend, Baliang, you just understand me. I can't help it, I am just too kind and care about my students too much."

"Huh? Someone actually believed what you said, brother-in-law?" Seeing that Bakura easily believed Hayato's nonsense, and Hayato continued to talk along with Bakura, Malik couldn't help but complain, "It's the same with those students, treating everyone like chess pieces and dispatching them at will without caring about their feelings, calling them here and sending them away at will. Is your so-called 'care' the same as treating a useful chess piece?"

"Is there something wrong? Or rather, do you want me to regard them as 'soldiers' who can be sacrificed at will?" Hayato spread his hands, "There is no love or hate without a source in the world. Even the relationship between relatives is driven by blood or the experience of long-term companionship."

"My attitude towards Kajiki Yuta and the others comes from their strength. Their strength that caught my eye is the reason why I can treat them this way. In chess, people generally have different attitudes towards the queen, which can move freely, and the chariot, which can only move in a straight line, and the bishop, which can only move diagonally, right?"

"Ability, or the ability that has not yet been discovered and can only be called 'talent', this is the key to determine my special attitude towards them. After all, they don't have a close enough relationship with me to influence my attitude." After a pause, Hayato continued, "Those professional duelists are like this, even Yuki Judai and his gang are the same."

"Only things that can be used by me are worth taking seriously, and things that have no use to me should be out of print!"

Sera looked at Hayato and said, "You use people as chess pieces. Do you think you are the king of chess, Mr. Hayato?"

But Hayato shook his head without hesitation and denied it: "No, I have never regarded myself as the king chess piece on the chessboard that can determine the key to victory or defeat - I am just a chess player."

"You can actually say such words with confidence. You are worthy of being my brother-in-law. You easily did what I couldn't do. I can't help but feel excited and admire you!" Malik heard Hayato's theory of extreme objectification of people. He didn't feel disgusted at all, but agreed with it. At the same time, he looked at Bakura on the side, "But for this guy, isn't it a bit too dark?"

"Eh, is that so?" Bakura tilted his head as if he understood, and said in confusion, "Don't you mean that although Hayato is very realistic, he will still be affected by emotions and change his judgment? After all, he also said that the reason he used other people was just because they didn't have enough friendship with Hayato."

"However, when communicating with me, Hayato-kun lightly skipped over the fact that I failed to help him collect duel energy. Doesn't this mean that Hayato-kun thinks that my relationship with him is even greater than the strength of Mr. Kajiki Yuta and Mr. Keith, plus the benefits they can bring to Hayato?"

At this point, Baliang was stunned for a moment, and turned his head away shyly: "I suddenly feel so embarrassed."

"No, you're blushing, what's wrong with you?" Malik complained. "Every time I browse the forum, I can see your confident and cool look in the advertisements you put up. You're also quite normal when you're with Yugi Muto and the others. Why do you only show that sissy look in front of your brother-in-law?"

"Because, the commercials are all scripted performances, I don't need to show any real emotions, so there is naturally no need to be shy." Bakura said, "But even so, there are still many people who will develop real feelings for me because of the performance. I also have a headache with those female fans and even male fans."

"But Hayato is different. He is extremely important to me and has changed my life."

Tapir omitted some of his words and did not say them completely. For example, Hayato's change of Tapir's life mainly refers to the control of Tapir by the Great Dark Evil God who transformed into the personality of "Dark Tapir", and Hayato is the hero who expelled him and Tapir.

"Wow, are you guys going to do Nantong? And one of them is my brother-in-law, so I'm in trouble now. Are you going to knock my brother-in-law to the ground and have sex with him while my sister is away--"

"Oh!"

Using the Silence (Physical) technique, Malik was forced to squat on the ground, covering the large bump on his head. Hayato complained, "You caterpillar, you have such a good imagination, what's the use of it?"

"Although his style of doing things is full of the cold reality, he still has human sensibility in his bones." Sera heard this and summarized Hayato's words to herself, then looked relieved, "That's good."

As a fellow "New-Type", Hayato immediately guessed what Sera was thinking: "Are you worried that because I have been standing in a high position for a long time, I will gradually lose my empathy for other humans and become a machine that does not understand human nature and only cares about practical interests?"

"Because there are precedents like this. Wise kings worked hard to govern the country in the first few decades after ascending the throne, but became insane when they grew old. Heroes who upheld justice were struck down and corrupted by the cruel reality, and the dragon slayer became the next evil dragon. The only lesson that humans can learn from history is that humans cannot learn lessons from history."

Sera said seriously, "Even if you are Hayato-san, you can't guarantee that you will never change, right? Especially since you are the strongest in the world, the heaviness of that lonely strength can easily overwhelm the thinking of ordinary people."

"But I'm not an ordinary person. That's the only thing I'm proud of." Hayato smiled and rubbed Sera's head. "Besides, it's not the old people who create the new era. Although I said that just now, in fact, allowing Yuki Judai and the others to grow enough is also the main purpose of my event this time. By the way, I also want to confirm what their current level is and whether they need others to cover them." "Cover them?" Sera said puzzledly, "From what you said, Mr. Hayato, are they going to encounter something dangerous next?"

"Before the entrance exam, we have to take a mock test to confirm the level. In the Duel Academy, there will be a big storm because of the 'Second World Martial Arts Tournament'. I mean the 'GeneX' competition. Of course, I have to confirm whether their level is enough to protect the Duel Academy. Otherwise, if I blindly believe in their strength and cause my Duel Academy to be lost, wouldn't it be very troublesome?"

When Malik heard what Hayato said, he murmured quietly, "Others would say 'protect the academy', why do you say 'protect my academy' when it comes to your mouth, brother-in-law?" When he saw Hayato raising his hand, he quickly pretended to zip up his pants and stroked his lips to indicate that he would shut up.

Putting down his hand, Hayato pointed to the sky and said, "Have you heard of that rumor? The Kingdom of Mizgaruzen launched a satellite carrying a laser device into the sky, which is flying around the earth. It can fire a laser beam powerful enough to burn the world to a certain place on the earth at any time."

Bakura nodded. "Yeah, I've heard about it. It seems that because of this incident, the Kingdom of Mizgaruzen, which was previously subject to economic sanctions by other neighboring countries for 'possessing weapons of mass destruction', has suddenly gotten rid of its previous predicament and suddenly played an important role in international affairs. Even its economy has been revitalized and it has suddenly become rich."

"It just feels so strange. Why did everyone sanction the Kingdom of Mizgaruzen before, but suddenly withdraw the previous economic measures?"

"Customs inspector A seized the goods of passerby B because he suspected that he was carrying dangerous goods into the country, but let terrorist C, who was wearing explosives, go because he really was carrying dangerous goods." Malik answered Bakuliang's doubts with a calm expression, "When someone says you have a pistol, you'd better really have one. This is a valuable experience I gained during my trip to America."

"Where did you get that experience?"

"You see it when the police catch a thief on the roadside and then let him go." Malik said, looking at the sky, "But why are you suddenly talking about that satellite, brother-in-law? Obviously, you can't see satellites in outer space from here, right?"

"Because someone wants to use the 'GeneX Competition' to gain control of the satellite from the Kingdom of Mizgaruzen, this is the challenge that the students of the Duel Academy will face next." Hayato said, still with a serious face, "This matter is related to something very important. I made a bet with Kaiba. If Judai and the others fail to protect the satellite from being launched, I will treat Kaiba to a meal of Saria!"

"In your eyes, brother-in-law, the safety of the world is not as important as a meal at Salia?"

"Kaiba said that if he lost, he would treat me to a year's worth of McDonald's."

"That's not surprising, that's not surprising."

"But, there is one more thing, Hayato." Bakura looked at Hayato, who was leading the way and leading the others back to the villa in the center of the island, and asked, "It didn't take too long to collect the duel energy of Mr. Keith and the others, and now you have enough duel energy in your hands, Hayato-kun, why do we still have to stay on the island?"

"Although it is an uninhabited island that has not been fully developed, there is no need to worry about people being active and being harmed by the Duel Monsters on the island." Hayato brought a few people to the garden in front of the villa and said in front of a pond, "But, I think it is still necessary to recycle the remaining Duel Energy on the island. We can't continue to waste it on maintaining the materialization of the Duel Monsters, right?"

"But there is no need to dismantle this device. If there are outstanding students in the next few classes, we can bring them to the island to experience it again."

Facing duel monsters that materialize without causing fatal damage, even Hayato can't think of a better way to train. It can help duelists quickly "communicate" with their own cards, but it's not like Kaiba's "Duel-Links" which requires multiple people to be online to jointly build a sufficiently real virtual world, which would be too much of a fuss.

"But, where is that device?"

Hayato did not answer, but spoke to the pool in front of him: "Speak to me, Hayato Kobayashi, the greatest of the Duel Monsters!"

As Hayato finished his lines, the fountain in the center of the garden sank into the ground, and then a strange device rose up in front of the surprised eyes of the people around him. The cylindrical glass cabin, which looked 100% or even 90% similar to the life support cabin used by Kagemaru in the past, was filled with duel energy, with only about one-tenth of the height at the top left vacant.

"I don't even know where to start complaining." Malik opened his mouth in surprise. "How can a duel between you and Kaiba Seto generate so much energy? And it took a week to consume only that much energy? And - don't think I can't hear it, the line just now is clearly from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!"

"Stop interfering in duel monster matters."

Hayato took out a card and threw it into the glass cabin in front of him. The duel energy suddenly began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was completely absorbed by the card Hayato threw. The blank card was gradually filled with color and words gradually appeared due to the injection of a large amount of duel energy.

On the other hand, when Hayato was holding the extra energy seals, Manjomu was in a terrible situation at the Duel Academy.

"Because of Hayato-sensei's impromptu extracurricular activities and the 'GeneX Competition' that is about to begin, I completely forgot about important things!" Covering his head, Manjome looked devastated, "My brother and the others will arrive at the Duel Academy tomorrow!?"

"It's not the Earl, it's the Duke!"

"Pink, blue, yellow and red? Doesn't that mean the end of the band?"

"Brothers, the situation is urgent now, let's kill the traitor!"
