Chapter 1649 Childhood Sweetheart and the Cat Who Steals Fish
Looking at the girl in front of him, Judai blinked his innocent eyes that were not polluted by knowledge: "You are."

Hearing this, the girl looked at Judai expectantly.

"Who?"

“It’s Li!” The girl, who thought Judai recognized her and almost fell down in disappointment at the unexpected answer, stood up and reminded Judai helplessly, “It’s Li!”

"Li?" However, even though Judai heard the girl remind him of his name, he still couldn't remember who the other person was.

Seeing this, the girl had to remind him more: "It was the one who sneaked onto the island and was then sent back to Tong Minye City."

Seeing that Judai still looked confused, the girl had no choice but to say, "The deck I'm using is [Light Path]."

"Oh, I remember now. It's Rei!" After being reminded of the important keyword "Light Path deck user", Judai's brain instantly became clear and he immediately remembered who the person in front of him was, "Saotome Rei, right!"

"Really? Why did you only remember me when I told you what deck I was using, Judai-sama?" the girl, Saotome Rei, complained, but her shy tone sounded more like she was acting coquettishly towards Judai.

Looking at the girl in front of him and comparing her with the short elementary school girl in his memory, Judai was a little unconvinced of his own amazing wisdom: "Right, right?"

"That's right, it's Saotome Rei, big brother." Marufuji Sho looked at Saotome Rei and confirmed that she was indeed the little girl from before. He confirmed it to Judai, but he suddenly reacted, "Oh, no, no, why is Saotome Rei back? There is no GeneX competition now, and if someone other than the students on the island goes to the island without permission, it will be terrible if the teachers see it!"

"It doesn't matter, glasses boy." Saotome Rei puffed out her chest proudly after hearing what Xiang said, "Two years ago, when I went back, I immediately skipped a grade and graduated from elementary school. I was promoted to the middle school of Duel Academy. Then, I completed the coursework that others would take three years to complete in just one year, and skipped a grade again to graduate from the middle school."

"I am now enrolled as a first-year student in the Duel Academy's senior department."

"That's true." Asuka suddenly recalled something and said, "Teacher Ayukawa said that among the new students this year, there is a girl who is much younger than the others. He asked me to help take care of her. So it was you?"

"Rei is amazing. You're actually a genius who can skip a grade?" Judai looked at the girl in front of him who was almost a head shorter than him with admiration. "Unlike me, I almost failed the final exam last semester and almost had to repeat the grade."

"No way! Lord Judai is such a great man. It's just an exam. Even if I fail, it doesn't matter!" Facing Judai's eyes, Saotome Rei said shyly.

Asuka, who was standing by, had veins popping out on her forehead. "I've been wanting to say this for a while now - what does 'Judai-sama' mean?"

"Judai-sama is Judai-sama. Ah, but now that I've enrolled as a student at Duel Academy," Saotome Rei glanced at Asuka, curled her lips and sneered, "Should I call you Judai-senpai, or is Judai-senpai more intimate?"

"Tsk, a little brat like you is too familiar!" Asuka took a step forward and stood between Judai and Rei.

"Hey, you're so rude, you thieving cat!" Seeing Asuka standing between herself and Judai, the person she had been thinking about for a long time, Saotome Rei, who thought she was already quite reserved enough not to throw herself into Judai's arms the first time they met, immediately said to Asuka with dissatisfaction.

"Thieving cat?" Asuka didn't understand why Saotome Rei called her such a strange name.

(The thieving cat refers to Pharaoh)

"There are only two types of girls: childhood sweethearts and thieving cats!" Saotome Rei swore, "Because you have only been in school with Judai-sama for two years, you can't be his childhood sweetheart, so you can only be a thieving cat!"

"Huh?" Asuka also began to breathe heavily after hearing Saotome Rei's strange "dichotomy". "Then I can at least go to school with Judai for three years, right? What about you? Judai is already in the third grade now, so at most you can only go to school with Judai for one year."

"Compared to me, you are even less likely to be my childhood sweetheart, so you are twice as likely to be a sneaky cat!"

"Yes, kids. I am Judai's childhood sweetheart." On the side, Manjomu complained, "What the hell are these two women messing around with? Let me tell you again how I won the championship."

"If you keep doing this, I'm really going to fight you one-on-one, Manjome." Marufuji Sho said, bending his arms to try to pose with muscular bodybuilding. "I've been working out recently."

(In a fight, he can be suppressed by Marufuji Sho and Namanjome Na)

"Ah, this kind of turmoil and restlessness is indeed youth~" Fubuki sighed, and chose to let Manjome and Marufuji Sho continue to fight, and intervened on Judai's side - compared to her own "apprentice", her sister's side is indeed more important.

"Miss Saotome, you were so excited to return to Duel Academy, why did you get off the ship so late?"

The question that Fubuki suddenly asked seemed to be unrelated to the previous topic of discussion, but it was actually quite sharp. It indirectly questioned Saotome Rei's so-called "missing Judai", which only meant that Asuka's relatives and friends were starting to make a move.

But Saotome Rei said calmly, "Because I'm the top first-year student this year. Just like my idol Judai-sama always protects others, I've become the big sister. The reason I got off the ship last is because my new little brother couldn't find his luggage, so I'm just helping him look for it."

"Eh? Wait, where's Xiao Ma?" Just when she wanted to introduce her new "little brother" to Judai and the others, Saotome Rei turned around and found that her little brother didn't seem to follow her to Judai, but ran away to who knows where. She hurriedly said to Judai, "Anyway, we still have a long time to live together, so let's save the warmth of reunion for later. Judai-sama, I'll go find where Xiao Ma ran off to."

After saying that, Li looked at Asuka with a provocative look before leaving.

Asuka looked at Li with a dark face as he left, muttering the key words in the other party's last provocative words: "Live together. Be gentle."

"Stealing cat!"

After two years, Asuka had long since realized that she did have feelings for Judai in her heart, but the reserve of a girl always made it difficult for her to take the first step, especially since Judai, whose mind had become more and more focused on playing cards since entering school, was completely unable to read her thoughts even if she hinted at it.

In the past, the appearance of Saotome Rei could barely be regarded as a slight stimulation to her. It helped her to recognize her inner thoughts, but she did not regard her as an opponent at all. But now, seeing that this thirteen-year-old girl actually tried hard to enter the Duel Academy before Judai graduated, Asuka suddenly felt a sense of crisis!
The situation is urgent now, and I don't want to ask about girls' modesty. It's time to express my feelings to Judai! "Judai, I--" Just as Asuka was about to tell Judai about her feelings with a resolute expression and not caring about other people around, she could see another cruise ship approaching the dock from afar. The sound of the ship's whistle interrupted her words.

"Ah, the cruise ship is here. The exchange students who are here to participate in the college exchange competition should be on this ship." Misawa has taken out a pen and a writing board from somewhere, ready to record the information of the exchange students at any time. This is also his biggest interest besides the "Grand Unified Theory".

——Especially when other people know nothing, but you can throw out a lot of information to bluff them, the sense of accomplishment is simply amazing. For Misawa, who is often called by the wrong name, it is simply a pleasure. And when others ask "How do you know so much", the moment you give "Don't underestimate my intelligence network" is simply bliss!
At this moment, the perspective switches to the cruise ship about to dock.

"We arrived at the sea area near Duel Academy at 9:50 this morning." A boy with glasses and a gentle face, wearing a large Buddhist bead around his neck, looked at the Duel Academy Island that was about to arrive and spoke to an electronic device in his hand, as if he was recording something with voice. "The three-day sailing experience was quite good. The only bad thing was that the Seahorse Group spent a lot of money on this voyage, but there were only five passengers on the ship, which was a bit wasteful."

"Besides me, the student representative of the Eastern Branch, Amon Garem, the person who appeared on the deck the most was..."

Looking at the man in a cowboy hat lying in the sun on the deck in front of him, and the alligator next to him that was as long as a person and could not be ignored, the boy named Amon Gallum calmly read out the man's name, "South Branch Student Representative, Jim Crookedal Cook."

"But that's all the information we got. Apart from the fact that he's an expert on rocks and reptiles, we didn't get any information about his expertise because during the three days he was on the ship, he only went to the deck to bask in the sun and to the restaurant to eat."

"If I have to sum it up in one word, it's cold-blooded animals."

After a pause, Amon Gallum talked about other things: "Next, it is the student representative from the Western Branch, Osin O'Brien."

"It is said that he was once active as a mercenary on the battlefield with his father, so he has very strict discipline. However, since he does not like to show up on the ship and prefers to stay in his room, the credibility of the specific information is questionable."

"The same thing happened to Professor Klaus Wallis of the Western Branch. This dean, nicknamed 'Cobra', seems to have military experience and dresses like a soldier. However, he only showed up on the day he boarded the ship. He has been staying in his room like Osin O'Brien these past few days."

"Perhaps this is a feature of their military training? They don't act recklessly in such situations to avoid being sniped?"

As he was talking, Amon, who was somewhat joking, was amused by his own words and said casually, "But my training did not include this aspect."

(Honda's same super invincible extended Plus version hairstyle, you can tell at a glance that she is a professional at playing cards)

"To describe these two people, Osin O'Brien is probably the kind of 'volcano' who is usually silent but can erupt with unimaginable power when necessary? And Professor Klaus Wallis, perhaps the students of the Western Branch have already given him the most suitable adjective - 'cobra'."

After talking about the three branch schools and the teacher leading the team this time, Amon Gallem paused for a moment, just like the last time, but he seemed to be hesitating whether to continue to tell the information about the remaining person.

"The last one is the student representative of the Northern Branch, John Anderson. It is said that the Northern Branch sees him as a special student who will never appear again in the past five years or the next five years. He is said to have the strongest talent among the students of this class. This "class" does not only include the Northern Branch but also includes students from all branches of Duel Academy and even the main campus."

"However, considering that the school he came from is the Northern Branch, which has not produced many decent students in the past five years and has the least resources and the worst results, the authenticity of this Duel Academy branch is very questionable."

"Rather than 'ghost', I think that's the only word that fits John Anderson."

"A ghost, a non-existent ghost, is wandering around this cruise ship, because no one has seen him since the first day of departure, except for the boarding list which shows that he was on board before everyone else."

"But I think that when the cruise ship arrives at Duel Academy, this 'ghost' classmate will be forced to reveal his true identity."

As the Duel Academy Island got closer and closer, and he could even see the forests, rocks and lakes on the island clearly, Amon Garem's voice recording ended here.

Amon Gallum was not the only one who noticed the Duel Academy Island was right before his eyes. Although Jim Crocodile Cook had been lying on the deck by the swimming pool enjoying the sun, he suddenly sat up from the ground and turned his head with the keen instinct of a wild animal to look towards the Duel Academy Island.

"I smell it! The scent of the azure sky, the blue sea, and the vast grassland!"

"It's beautiful! Don't you think so too, Kallen?"

"Are you excited to be back on land?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind Amon Gallum. He subconsciously wanted to react, but stopped in time. The person who came was none other than Osin O'Brien, whom Amon had just mentioned.

"You suddenly appeared behind me and really gave me a fright, O'Brien-san."

“Sorry.” Although he looked very serious and difficult to talk to, Osin O’Brien still apologized to Amon very seriously, even though he could see that before he pushed open the door behind Amon, the other party had actually noticed his approach - the instant tenseness of his muscles could not deceive him.

"The professor is sorting out the materials and won't be coming on deck." O'Brien glanced at Jim Crocodile Cook, who was cheering on the deck with a crocodile in his hand, and told Amon that "Professor Cobra" would not come to the deck to see the Duel Academy Island that was so close. After looking around, he said, "But, we are almost at our destination, and the fourth person is still not going to show up?"

"Perhaps it's because our 'ghost' classmate is shy." Amon smiled gently and pushed his glasses up. "But the professor chose not to come to see the Duel Academy Island. He is indeed an adult. He knows that we have plenty of time to explore the main academy in the next year."

"Well, I have to go back and pack my luggage. Goodbye, O'Brien."
