Chapter 1575 Yesterday’s enemies are still enemies today for various reasons

"Okay, five hundred. This is your GeneX badge. Please keep it and come back next time."

Who else could it be but Kira Aoki, who recites the lines skillfully and works at the "Gold Exchange" and is responsible for distributing badges to the contestants?

Although the school also issued GeneX badges to teachers for participating in the "Second World Martial Arts Tournament", Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon also fought the first duel of this event.

But it is obvious that just like Marufuji Sho considers completing the task after one match every day, Manjome actively eliminates other players, and Yuki Judai chooses to look for interesting opponents to duel, everyone has their own attitude towards this game, and naturally not everyone is very interested in participating in the competition.

Kira Aoki, the dormitory head of the Sun God-Yellow Dormitory, used to work in the event planning department of Kaiba Entertainment Group. He won the third place in the first GeneX competition and entered the Duel Academy as a teacher. Rather than "changing jobs", it is closer to "changing positions". He is one of the people who is not very interested in this event.

As we all know, although Haima Group has the word "entertainment" in its name, Haima Group, formerly an arms company, is actually a scientific research group engaged in high-tech. The scientific research department is the busiest and has the heaviest tasks. However, after the scientific research results are launched, the task of finding ways to bring these scientific research results to the market is the responsibility of the event planning department.

In particular, the president, Seto Kaiba, often has an idea to tinker with some weird technology, and then squanders funds lavishly, and then says "I was thinking" in a very green-skinned way, and then he really develops some technology that is completely impractical and can only make him play cards more happily.

Then, the stingy vice president Kaiba Keihei began to complain about his brother's reckless spending and transferred the financial pressure to the event planning department, asking them to come up with an event that could use new technologies to make money and recover funds.

If it was only once every few months, no one would have any objection considering that Kaiba Group's salaries, subsidies and bonuses far exceed those in the world. But the problem is that Seto Kaiba does things on a whim too often, especially when his good friend and Duel King Hayato Kobayashi was still in Domino City, he would come to the headquarters of Kaiba Group from time to time, play cards with President Kaiba to relieve his stress, and provide him with all kinds of weird ideas to generate new creative inspiration.

Three days for a small invention, five days for a big toy, a new project every week, a major breakthrough every month, the pressure on the scientific research department is as great as that on the event planning department. The special floor of the Haima Group headquarters building that displays Haima's scientific research results is not only the unfinished products of Haima, but also the source of pressure for the event planning department of Haima Group!

Kirara Aoki, who had been working for Kaiba Group when it was still an arms company and had been a corporate slave for more than ten years, was quickly exhausted by the pressure of work within a year after Duel City, and then he had the idea of ​​changing his career. Thus, he became a teacher at Duel Academy after making a big splash at the first GeneX competition.

Even though his students say he is either on a business trip or preparing to go on a business trip, he uses the school's funds to visit various Duel Academies around the world and enjoys the treatment of a guest for exchange activities. After work, he can not only enjoy a short vacation in the local area but also taste the local food and scenery. It's super cool and leisurely!

Even the course he teaches is just an elective course on palm care, which sounds unimportant and seems like only girls who love beauty will sign up for it. Although it accidentally attracted many boys who had the same illusion and wanted to appreciate the beauty of girls of the same age, it is ultimately just an elective course and not a required course like the Basic Theory of Duel course (card name) that Professor Chronos is in charge of, so the work pressure is simply too low.

Even if he occasionally did not appear in the game but stayed in school, he only added a basic theory course of duel (chaining). Compared with when he was still working at Kaiba Group, it was much easier. He could even take over the cooking class for Mr. Karayama, who occasionally accompanied Coach Napoleon on business trips to other duel academies.

Kira Aoki is such a person who likes a peaceful and comfortable life like plants. He is not obsessed with promotion and is not entangled in troubles. Naturally, he will not accumulate stress in life and can maintain inner peace and live a happy life.

——However, this “Second Martial Arts Tournament in the World” was an event that was extremely inconsistent with Kira Aoki’s inner aesthetics.

After all, the rule that forces everyone to participate and that cannot refuse the first challenge of the day is like a durian that has been exposed to the sun for ten days, it cannot stink any more!

The reason he showed up at the GeneX competition was because he needed victory in order to have a more peaceful life like he does now. However, winning the "World Second Martial Arts Tournament" this time would not bring him a better life than he has now. Kira Aoki, who has no desire for money, fame, or fortune, has no motivation to participate in any competition.

But! It was quite uncomfortable for him to pretend to lose to others in a duel. He was indeed not obsessed with winning or losing, but that didn't mean he was a person without dignity. Losing to an inexplicable guy would only make him feel uneasy. This was a pressure that he couldn't eliminate no matter how much he did stretching exercises or drank milk before going to bed!

Therefore, Kira Aoki, with his "amazing wisdom", came up with a brilliant idea - he didn't want to show up in public, but wanted to live a peaceful life, and didn't want to lose to ordinary people and be eliminated, so if he could find a way not to be challenged and not complete the mandatory duel requirement once a day, wouldn't he be eliminated peacefully?

This is even better than actively challenging a strong man like Principal Hayato. After all, losing is losing. No matter how powerful Kobayashi Hayato is, he will still feel unwilling to lose because his fantasy has not been fulfilled. This is something Kirara, who pursues a peaceful life, cannot accept. However, if he is eliminated for the reason of "not completing a duel every day", that is another matter.

As for avoiding the challenge and being eliminated? That would be even more unacceptable to him than pretending to lose, so don't even mention it.

To this end, he even took on the job of distributing GeneX badges to outsiders who were interested in participating in the "Second World Martial Arts Tournament". Under normal circumstances, he would never take the initiative to take on this troublesome job, but think about it from another perspective - no one would think of challenging the staff who distributed badges to themselves and others, right?

Not only is it a mystery, but if the staff is challenged, wouldn't the time of the other people in the queue behind him also be wasted? No one would be that stupid, right?

"Teacher Aoki, you seem very happy?" Next to Kirara Aoki, Sato Koji, who was also in charge of distributing badges, was curious, "Aren't you usually an energy conservationist?"

"Once you enter society, your own rules won't work. You have to work hard where you need to, and that's to save energy." Kirara didn't tell Mr. Sato directly that his goal was to play so badly that he was eliminated. He left a little riddle in his words, "And aren't you the same, Mr. Sato?"

"Although it is necessary to conduct a certain check on the participants, even a school worker can complete this task successfully. There should be no need for you to come to work as well, right? Isn't there a newly released restricted and banned card list that needs to be sorted out and analyzed a while ago?" "Mr. Shunsuke Kazama? Okay, I'll give you five hundred. This is your GeneX badge. Please keep it and welcome back next time." After checking that the data was correct, Kira Aoki accepted the other party's registration fee and handed over the GeneX badge to the other party. He no longer paid attention to the young man wearing a strange headscarf covering his multi-colored hair as he left.

"It's not that I don't trust the other staff members, but I personally think that it would be better for me to participate in person rather than let the school workers complete it. If I work harder now, I can save the students from more hard work and let them grow more through this activity."

After entering the name of the contestant into the database, Sato Koji accepted the application of the next entrant and retrieved the relevant information of the opponent from the Kaiba Group's global database. After confirming that he was not a wanted criminal and the strength data of his deck, he evaluated whether he was suitable for participating in the competition. At the same time, he continued to reply to Kira Aoki's words, "Compared to those children, I no longer have the ability to travel to a more distant future, so I want to use my remaining energy to keep their fire burning."

“Wherever the leaves dance, so does the fire.”

Compared to Kira Aoki, an energy conservationist who likes a quiet life, Sato Koji is his complete opposite. He used to be active as a professional duelist, but due to his physical limitations, he was unable to continue to compete in duel tournaments. His purpose of becoming a teacher was not for his own stable life or other fame and fortune, but just to use his abilities to help other students go further.

It was this same concept that impressed his interviewer, Professor Chronos. Mr. Sato Koji was responsible for the Duel Construction Class, which is extremely important for a Duelist. This course is quite easy for students, but it is also an unusually heavy task for the teacher. Not only does he have to keep an eye on whether new routines and new combos are being developed around the world, but he also has to provide students with extracurricular construction guidance on a regular basis. Only Mr. Sato Koji has the enthusiasm and ability to teach this course well.

"As for the latest restricted and banned card list, I have already finished it when it was just released at 8 o'clock this morning. But Mr. Aoki, you reminded me that I am worried that there will be omissions if I do it so quickly. I will go back and check it again after I finish the work here."

"I have received your transfer of 500 yuan, Mr. Seahorse Man. This is your GeneX badge. Please keep it."

Even though the applicant was wearing an awkward Blue-Eyes White Dragon helmet and the white long windbreaker that Kaiba's president liked the most, and seemed to be cosplaying him, the data he provided from the Kaiba Group database was reviewed without any problems. After receiving the registration fee, Kirara Aoki handed the badge to the applicant, watched him snort out of habit, and then took it and left. He continued to say to Sato Koji: "For an ordinary person like me, your philosophy is too exciting, Mr. Sato."

"Is this considered exciting?" Pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose, Sato Koji just smiled, "Sure enough, Mr. Aoki and I are two completely different types of people, because I believe that if people with power cannot discover the truth, this world will be hell for human beings. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility."

Huh? Who would understand what you're saying?

Kirara Aoki looked at Sato Koji in a strange way, and said perfunctorily: "So, Mr. Sato, you have also seen that I am also taking the initiative to 'shoulder the responsibility' like you, and I took the initiative to come here to help with the work."

When Kirara Aoki was mentioned, Sato Koji was silent for a moment. Just when Kirara Aoki thought that the matter had been dealt with and he could continue to slack off until he was eliminated, Sato Koji suddenly said, "It was not my initiative."

"Teacher Aoki, after you received the GeneX badge from the acting principal of Samejima, you volunteered to come here to help with the work. You have hardly ever been separated from me who also applied to help here. Since the start of this 'Second World Martial Arts Tournament', you have been enjoying being busy here, which is unusual."

"You don't seem to be worried at all that you don't have time to complete the requirement of a duel every day. I am like that because I have already dueled with Mr. Kabayama and won. What about you, Mr. Aoki? Aren't you worried about being eliminated? I'm not worried, because Mr. Aoki, this is probably what you are thinking, right? To eliminate yourself in the least noticeable way."

Cold sweat streamed down Kira Aoki's face!

"Could it be that, Mr. Sato, you are planning to..."

"No, I didn't take the initiative to challenge your idea, Mr. Aoki. A duel with you has no meaning to me. Although I believe that people with greater power must also shoulder greater responsibilities, if it is energy conservationism like Mr. Aoki that does not affect others, I have no objection."

Sato Koji shook his head, which made Aoki feel relieved, but he was still very confused. If he didn't want to challenge himself or disturb his plan of being eliminated in peace, why did Teacher Sato explain this to him?

As if he could see the doubt in Aoki's heart, Mr. Sato smiled mysteriously and pointed in a direction, causing Aoki to look over there subconsciously. Although the two of them spoke quietly and only communicated intermittently during work, Mr. Sato's words just now were not among them. Instead, they spoke them in one breath. Even if the cause and effect were not clear, it was enough to make one fact clear - that is, Aoki, as a staff member, was actually one of the people who could be challenged, and he could not refuse the first challenge.

Aoki, who looks like an office worker, doesn't look very capable. Just after Mr. Sato finished speaking, he was already targeted by the contestants who had just lined up in front of him!

"Teacher Aoki, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I can complete the work here by myself." In order to prevent Aoki from using work as an excuse to evade challenges from others, Sato Koji cut off Aoki's retreat at the first opportunity!

Even Aoki was a little anxious because of Teacher Sato, and he quickly came up with an excuse: "Although I understand your feelings, those who haven't received the badge are not considered official contestants."

Now! Before new GeneX badges are handed out by Sato-sensei, I must escape immediately!

However, just as he was about to run away, a person blocked his way.
