Chapter 1554 Heroes and Gods (Part )

"Hello?" Judai politely greeted the man in front of him and asked, "Are you also a duelist coming to the island to participate in the competition?"

"But it's strange, why didn't we land at the pier, but in this forest?"

The man glanced at Judai, and when he noticed the red dormitory uniform he was wearing, he immediately lost interest and said impatiently, "It has nothing to do with a lowly fry like you, right?"

"Of course it matters, okay? I'm really looking forward to it and deciding with a strong duelist." Judai seemed to be unable to see the disgust and contempt in the other party's eyes when he looked at him, and asked expectantly, "Hey, hey, uncle, are you a duelist here to participate? I saw you were wearing a duel disk."

"I think I am."

Wearing a long white trench coat over the suit he usually wears to work, the man in front of Judai, France, spoke with a guilty look on his face.

After all, if he really had the talent to be a duelist, he would have become a professional duelist and made a name for himself long ago. Why would he be a card designer at the International Illusion Society?

Needless to say, he was France, the former chief designer of the card design department of the International Illusion Agency, who had made a copy card of "Ra's Pterosaur" without permission, as mentioned by Hayato and Pegasus who were talking at the same time.

However, France looked at his duel disk again, as if he wanted to see through the deck the card of [Ra's Winged Dragon] that he relied on the most, and his original card that he used to enslave it. With these two cards, even if he did not have enough talent as a duelist, he could still show his strong strength among duel monsters and easily surpass those legendary duelists.

No, at this time, if I were to enlarge my ambitions a little, it wouldn't be too much to imagine that I could even defeat the Duel King. After all, Hayato Kobayashi has [Pterosaur of Ra], and I also have [Pterosaur of Ra], and I have also made a series of related support cards around [Pterosaur of Ra]. Maybe even Hayato Kobayashi is not my opponent!

"The Second Best Martial Arts Tournament in the World"? The Best Martial Arts Tournament in the World! Let's take this opportunity to get Hayato Kobayashi as well--

"Arnold, can you hear me, uncle? Uncle?" Judai waved his hand in front of France and said with a little dissatisfaction, "What's going on? You started to lose focus inexplicably in the middle of your conversation."

"Anyway, let's duel, uncle. You haven't dueled yet, have you? I haven't dueled yet either. One of the rules of the 'Second World Martial Arts Tournament' is that you cannot refuse the first duel of the day."

Seeing the enthusiastic Judai, France refused without hesitation: "No. I am not interested in wasting my time on minions. Only the strong ones are qualified to let my servants take action."

"I'm very strong, very strong!" Judai pointed at himself and said, "And didn't I tell you that the rules of this competition cannot be refused."

France sneered disdainfully: "What happens if someone refuses?"

"Fourth, he said that according to the intelligence he collected, this competition seems to monitor the signals of all duel disks that appear on the island to determine whether a duel has been held on that day. If you refuse the first duel or have not dueled in a day, it seems that it will be considered as a waiver and you will lose the qualification to compete. The badge representing your qualification will also be withheld."

As he spoke, Judai took out his own badge and showed it to him, but he didn't expect France to reach out and try to snatch the badge from Judai. Fortunately, Judai reacted quickly and took back the badge in time, otherwise it would have been snatched away by France.

"Uncle, what are you doing!" In cooperation with Judai, the monkeys living in the surrounding forests also excitedly called out to France.

"Tsk, you reacted pretty quickly. Why do you think I don't care about the rules? Because I wasn't invited by you to compete." France took two steps back to distance himself from Judai after failing to win. "The competition you're participating in is the 'Second Martial Arts Tournament in the World', but I, who have gods to serve me, will not be satisfied with just second place. I have to be number one!"

"Your target is Sensei Hayato? And what about the gods? Who ordered you to do that?" Judai looked at France, his expression changing.

Previously, he thought that France was also one of the duelists from all over the world who were invited to the island by the academy, and naturally he did not have any guard against him. But now France revealed that he was an uninvited intruder, which made it hard for Judai not to think of the previous "Seven Stars".

Is Duel Academy some kind of Feng Shui treasure land? How come it attracts so many people to invade here?

"Don't question God!" France said unhappily after hearing Judai's series of inquiries to him, "Also, my target is Hayato Kobayashi, tell me his full name. The person I hate most in my life is someone named 'Hayato', that damn koala."

"Hayato? Koala?" Judai raised an eyebrow and subconsciously thought of his classmates, and asked tentatively, "Maeda?"

"Um!?"

Seeing France's sudden big reaction, Judai realized that the person he was talking about was indeed his classmate Maeda Hayato. But he remembered that he had been hired by the International Illusion Society and entered the card design department of his dreams as a card designer. According to the information obtained by Liuzhe's investigation, Maeda's work even won the card design competition held within the International Illusion Society a while ago.

After that, Maeda used the winning reward to make some cards and gave them to Professor Chronos, who introduced him to the International Illusion Society. These were the cards that Professor Chronos used in the duel with Coach Napoleon not long ago.

Did Maeda, who joined the International Illusion Society, do anything to offend the uncle in front of him? Maeda's personality is good enough, right? Can he have conflicts with others?

While Judai was puzzled, France suddenly asked Judai: "Come to think of it, that Koala seems to be just a poor student in the worst dormitory in Duel Academy, that is, the red 'Osiris' dormitory. How did you know that Koala, that 'Maeda Hayato', you jellyfish-headed brat!"

"How rude of you to call me a brat, uncle." Judai protested unhappily, "My name is Yuki Judai, and I'm a hero enthusiast who wants to make friends with everyone in the school!"

"As for Maeda, he was my roommate before he was hired by the International Illusion Society. We were good friends, so of course I knew him."

Hearing this, France sneered: "Very good answer, kid. You gave me a reason to change my mind."

"First of all, I want to correct one thing. You are the one who is rude to others. You called me uncle? I am only 24 years old!" France stretched out a finger, paused, and stretched out the second one. "Then, secondly, your attitude makes me uncomfortable. You are so disrespectful to God - to me, and you have such a childish and disgusting dream. It makes me uncomfortable."

"The most important thing is the third reason that made me change my mind and decide to duel with you - you know that Maeda Hayato. This reason alone is enough for me to bring down divine punishment on you, because that Maeda Hayato is a shameful thief who stole the honor that should have belonged to me and trampled on the dignity of me as the chief designer. I cannot forgive him, so my anger, the anger of God, will be directed at you!" "Duel!"

[France: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

"You keep saying nonsense, like 'God' and 'dignity'. Who would understand that?" After complaining, Judai took out a deck from the card box on his waist and unfolded the duel disk. "But if I understand correctly, uncle, could it be that you are also a designer of the International Illusion Society? If Wuzhe's information is correct, Maeda won the competition within the International Illusion Society not long ago. Could it be that you think your dignity has been hurt because of this?"

"What kind of childish reason is it to be angry? Are you an idiot for being so jealous of others?"

"I just don't want to be told that by a fool like you!" France glared at Judai. "It's decided. You will be the first sacrifice to God! Use your competition badge to open my long ladder to godhood!"

"Here you go again, stupid talk like 'God'. Even I know that the legendary 'God Card' is no longer in the world. Besides Hayato-sensei has Zhang [Pterosaur of Ra]." Judai raised the duel disk and looked at France. "Although you don't have a badge because you are not an official contestant, it doesn't matter. I will be your opponent-"

"Wait a moment!" Just as Judai was about to insert the deck into the duel disk, a voice intervened between the two. A man walked out of the bushes, removing the branches and leaves stuck on his clothes. He looked at Judai and France who had not yet started the duel, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Great, I finally caught up. Fortunately, the duel hasn't started yet."

Judai looked at the green-haired boy in front of him, and his lake-blue eyes, and felt a sense of familiarity. He suddenly remembered that he could always see this kind of innocent eyes that were not polluted by knowledge in the mirror every morning when he got up and washed. The other person didn't look very old, and was not much different from himself, but he didn't remember seeing him in school?

With France's previous experience as a lesson, Judai looked at the other party with some caution and asked, "You again?"

"Ah, hello, I am..." Before the young man could finish his words, a strange blue creature suddenly ran out from behind him. It looked like a squirrel and a cat, and had four ears. However, the most eye-catching thing was the lightly swaying gem at the end of its tail, which was the same deep and elegant red as the small animal's eyes.

At the same time as the ruby-like creature appeared, a phantom flew out from the deck that Judai had not yet had time to insert into the duel disk, flapping its small wings behind it, and [Winged Kuritama] appeared in front of Judai.

The ruby-like little animal and the [Winged Chestnut Ball] approached each other curiously, and then touched each other playfully.

"Ji Li!"

"Curry!"

"Jilijili!"

"Kuri Kuri!"

"Ah, Ruby. Huh? This is-" "Ah, Aibo. Huh, this is-"

Seeing their respective partners appear, the green-haired boy and Judai spoke at the same time, and were also surprised by the other card spirit that appeared in front of them. Then, they both realized at the same time that the card spirit in front of them actually came from the person in front of them. When they looked up at each other, they had the same surprised expression and said in unison: "Could it be that you also--"

“How dare you ignore God!”

France angrily interrupted the conversation between Judai and the green-haired boy. For him, who couldn't see the card spirits, Judai and the boy were just staring at the empty space in front of them and calling out some inexplicable names. This kind of treatment of being ignored by others while doing something meaningless was the greatest humiliation for France, who cared a lot about how others viewed him.

"It doesn't seem like the time to talk about 'that' now? But with such a companion, you shouldn't be a bad person, right?" Judai said as he looked at the green-haired boy and thought that people who were accompanied by card elves were not bad people. He had no idea that people who were deeply attached to elves were not necessarily good people. The best example was his principal.

Turning to look at the angry France, Judai said, "Sorry for the long wait, uncle. So, as I said just now, I will be the—"

"No, I should be the one dueling with Mr. France." The green-haired boy suddenly said, standing in front of Judai.

".Did I say my name? Also, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?" Hearing this, France looked at the boy warily, "Who the hell are you!"

"Principal Ichinose asked me to help him get a student back. I turned down this year's college exchange competition and came here to participate in the 'Second World Martial Arts Tournament'. I also wanted to make up for my absence last year and not being able to visit the headquarters." The boy pointed at himself with a thumbs up and smiled cheerfully. "Then, I happened to learn from Mr. Becas that someone had printed a copy of the 'God Card' without permission."

"Although it seems that others have told him not to worry, he is still a little worried that you, Mr. France, will make an irreparable mistake. So Mr. Becas, who has not yet arrived on the island, asked me for help to stop you from making a mistake. That's why I came to you, Mr. France."

Judai behind the boy blinked, "Just now, did you mention the copied 'God Card'?"

"Yes, and he is the strongest one." The boy looked at France and said, "I heard part of your conversation before, so I can give you the answer. Yes, there really is a 'God Card' in his deck, and it is a copy of the [Pterosaur of Ra], which is the strongest among the 'Three Mythical Gods'!"

"Let me tell you my name, too—John Anderson, a sophomore at the Duel Academy North Branch!" The green-haired boy inserted the deck into the Duel Disk and activated it, connecting it to France's Duel Disk. "I'll be your opponent. Come meet my family!"

"Duel!"

[John Anderson: 4000LP, Hand 5]

Although the title says hero, you wouldn’t have expected it to be John!
