Chapter 801: Regret and Growth: The Duelist (4K)

After the duel ended, Yuri leisurely left the scene. Kaiba Corporation's medical staff immediately took Rin to the hospital, while the members of 5DS and Yugo and the others naturally rushed to the joint dimensional hospital built by the four dimensions.

"stern!!"

"Quiet!!! The patient needs a low-noise environment!"

"Uh……"

Although he really wanted to retort, "Doctor, your voice is louder than mine," Yugo clearly couldn't bring himself to say such a thing.

He sat down next to Rin, took her hand, looked at her, and asked her anxiously how she was feeling.

Feeling Yugo's warmth, Rin blushed slightly, but quickly coughed, muttered something, and then said, "It might take a long time in the hospital..."

According to the doctor's deduction, Rin suffered both internal and external damage. As a child who is still growing, if she does not take good care of her body, it may have an impact on her future.

"Only seven or eight days?" Yugo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

For duelists, seven or eight days can be shortened to three or four days, so that Rin still has a chance to participate in the next round of duels.

Yes--

hope.

With the first round of duels over, the second round will now begin.

However, the second round of the duel will be shorter than the first round!
It's not just because there are fewer people, but more importantly, because this stage of the competition uses a "time calculation" rule, so the time for each duel is compressed.

Scenes like chatting and joking during duels, or even interacting with the "audience" from time to time, as in the duel between Yuri and Rin, are clearly not going to happen in this round of duels.

After all, the time allotted for each duel is very limited, and wasting time will result in an immediate loss, which is a very serious punishment.

Therefore, the preliminary rounds, which already had half fewer contestants, will eliminate even more contestants in this round.

Considering that the vast majority of contestants in the world have no concept of "time management," the elimination rate will probably be very fast.

Therefore, if it really drags on for seven or eight days, let alone the second round of the duel, the third round of the duel might be over by then.

You Wu thought positively.

Rin's body and physique are far superior to his. She has been exceptionally strong since childhood. Seven or eight days of injury would be difficult for an ordinary person, but for a duelist, half the time would be more than enough. If it were Rin, it would be even shorter.

They should have a chance to participate in the second round of the duel.

"I probably won't participate in the later duels, Yugo..."

Unexpectedly, Rin suddenly said that.

Yugo stared blankly at Rin, opening his mouth as if to ask, "Rin?"

Rin couldn't help but smile, then looked in front of her, leaned back slightly against the pillows, and said, "Yugo, although I'm very unhappy, that guy is right..."

I...I don't have the courage.

"Rin!??" Yugo jumped up abruptly, gesturing wildly, "How is this possible? You're the bravest girl I've ever met—"

Rin gently took his hand, which gradually calmed him down.

Yugo is a pure duelist.

It's not just that he's "innocent," which makes him a pure duelist, but that he has always been very "pure," purely gazing at his dreams and the future, purely wanting to change his life through dueling, changing Rin's life and his own life, and changing the lives of the Lower City.

And this idea remained unchanged no matter what happened.

Before meeting Rin, he thought he would work hard on his own.

After meeting Rin, he thought about working hard and reaching the top together with Rin.

After being adopted by Yusei, he thought about learning Yusei's skills and then helping him to advance into the upper city.

When he was exchanging duels with the fused dimension, he thought about gaining recognition through his own duels and participating in the Lucky Cup.

During the WRGP tournament, the Lower Town and Upper Town were reconnected. He was not confused, but even more excited and eager to make this bright future even more beautiful.

Even now!

The City is under the jurisdiction of Chief Jaeger. Yugo and Rin have the backing of Jack Atlas, a "high-ranking government official," and the support of Crohogan, a "national hero." They also have the siblings Ryuya and Ryuko from the Upper City as friends, as well as many orphans from the Lower City as friends. More importantly, they also have Fudo Yusei, a "god who is not a god," secretly helping them.

Their lives had actually changed completely, and they no longer needed "challenges," but Yugo still didn't change himself!
On the contrary, he became more passionate, worked harder, and wanted to strive even more.

His thought was that since the predecessors had already built the world, they should inherit their beliefs, help them, and spread the "beliefs" that our City has changed and that we understand each other.

He's so pure!
He's a pure duelist!
Can……

Rin understood.

She was afraid.

From the very beginning, she was not as pure as Yuugo.

Although she made grand pronouncements at the WRGP tournament, wanting to follow in the footsteps of her predecessors, when everything really settled down and she and Yugo were living a fairly happy life, her former "drive" and "fighting spirit" were slowly worn away.

She...did not survive this challenge that belonged to her, the challenge of the duelist's "belief"!

It would be pointless to have her participate in the KC Cup under these circumstances.

“…I understand.” Yuugo took a deep breath, then smiled, bent his arm with one hand, and struck a bodybuilding pose. “Don’t worry, I’ll win your share too!”

Rin covered her mouth and laughed twice. Then, she took out the deck, returned the Crystal Wing to Yugo, and found another card.

"What is this card?"

Yugo has never seen this card before.

"Just consider it a talisman," Rin tilted her head.

Yugo nodded firmly, then carefully put the card away silently: "Don't worry, Rin, I will definitely defeat that guy and avenge you!"

Rin, with a bitter face, laughed along for a while.

Outside the ward, the members of 5DS breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the scene inside.

They naturally noticed that Rin was in a bad state, but duelists must rely on themselves to overcome difficulties. Now that Rin had not overcome her own challenge, they could only hope that Rin would move with the wind again next time.

"I... I'll stay and take care of Rin from now on," Aki said softly.

Aki Izayoi is also a special invited duelist in Synchro Dimension.

Originally, Aki Izayoi thought it would be better to participate in the auditions and gradually accumulate experience.

After all, she hadn't participated in many duels in the WRGP tournament, so she still needed to warm up a bit.

However, Jaeger upheld the fine traditions consistently upheld by the Goldwin lineage—

You should use your privileges when the time is right!
Having privileges and not using them is the same as not having privileges at all!
Since their Synchro Dimension has so many invited contestants, they must have included all the contestants, whether they know them or not. Otherwise, wouldn't his role as the representative of the Synchro Dimension be meaningless?
For this reason, Aki Izayoi was also included in the list of invited contestants. Aki Izayoi herself is a little socially awkward, so when she saw that she had become an invited contestant in the end, she did not go to Jaeger again.

After all, she is absolutely qualified to be a special guest.

Now, this happens to be an opportunity.

The invited contestant doesn't need to participate in the auditions, so she'll have plenty of time to take care of Rin, which will ease Yugo's and the rest of 5DS's worries.

The remaining people exchanged glances but remained silent.

There's no way around it; after all, a girl definitely needs a girl to take care of her.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Qiu."

After a moment of contemplation, Yusei, whom he hadn't seen for many days, spoke to Izayoi Aki.

"No, it's okay."

Aki even felt a little grateful to Rin.

Since proving his ideas to the Red Dragon, Youxing has been immersed in research almost all day long. Jaeger provided him with the best laboratory and the most complete experimental equipment and researchers in the world. Every day, they specialize in studying the operation and improvement of perpetual motion machines.

It had been a long time since Izayoi Aki had seen Yusei.

Seeing Yusei again now is probably thanks to Rin's luck—though that sounds like hell. "Yusei, it's been a long time."

Yusei glanced to the side and saw Hikaru Amagi walking slowly towards him: "Hikaru, it's been a long time."

He responded with a greeting, then frowned and looked out the window.

Hikaru Amagi greeted his friends on 5DS one by one, and then asked them curiously what they were doing.

Kro pointed to the ward, drawing Amagi Hikaru's attention to Rin, who was whispering to Yugo. Amagi Hikaru shrugged, knowing he couldn't go in and disturb him, and continued catching up with his friends.

After chatting for a while, Yusei, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "That's a perpetual motion machine, isn't it?"

"?" Everyone looked at him.

What perpetual motion machine? What's wrong?
"Um...that? You mean...the pendulum?"

"As expected of you." Yusei nodded silently. "So, you noticed it before too?"

"Uh, I went to Pendulum Dimension a little over a month ago. Reiji Akaba from Lion Corporation was experimenting with a perpetual motion machine."

"As expected..." Yusei sighed.

"What? That guy should know about perpetual motion machines, right?" "That kid, does he even know what he's doing?!"

Crowe and Jack immediately panicked.

Does this mean they don't consider the people in their own world to be human?
Yusei remained calm and composed, not in a hurry. Instead, he silently pursed his chin, looked into the window, and then looked at Amagi Hikaru.

Even Amagi Hikaru felt uneasy under his gaze.

"Yusei, what did you see?"

“There are traces of a perpetual motion machine extracting energy from Rin’s body.”

"?" Kro immediately retorted, "Impossible! Neither Rin's Duel Disk nor that Yuri's Duel Disk showed any signs of a perpetual motion machine!"

When a perpetual motion machine is running, it emits bright colored light.

But neither Yuri nor Rin had this fluctuation in their Duel Disks.

“…That’s the problem,” Yusei said calmly.

!!!

Jack and Crow exchanged a glance.

Why is this the problem?

because--

If this really happens, it means that the perpetual motion machine has generated special "emotions" or begun to respond to special "conditions"!
Hikaru Amagi thought for a moment and then told them about his experiences and some speculations in the Pendulum Dimension.

"...Hoo, ha—using infinite energy to create infinite mass, and then compressing it into a single card. Makes sense." Yusei stated a conclusion first.

“But, just like a perpetual motion machine, if during this process…” Crowe’s expression turned grim.

"What's worse, according to Amagi, the first one injected was that bastard Akama Zero, and the second one was that crazy Yuri... There's no way anything good could come out of that!"

Yusei couldn't help but pinch his brow. After a while, he suddenly looked at Amagi Hikaru.

"I see."

"what happened?"

“Hikari, no wonder you love traveling.” Yusei suddenly smiled as if he had just realized something. “I’ve always wanted to improve the perpetual motion machine, but I haven’t been able to achieve anything despite all my efforts.”

But now, it suddenly occurred to me.

I've got it! ? ?
Not to mention Jack and Crowe, even Hikaru Amagi and Tyella were shocked.

What do you mean, "You suddenly thought of that!"?
How could someone suddenly think of something like this?!

"Impossible! Even I couldn't understand this in an instant!" Tierra exclaimed in disbelief.

She's the goddess of creation in the science and technology department!
“The scenery, the sights, everything you encounter can be a reference.” Yusei suddenly smiled. “I was a little reluctant to participate in the KC Cup before… Now it seems I was wrong.”

He couldn't persuade Jaeger otherwise, after all, it was a bit much for him to accept that a city president was kneeling before him, so he finally agreed to participate in the KC Cup.

But his mind was still entirely focused on modifying the perpetual motion machine, and he kept thinking about it.

If he hadn't suddenly seen Rin today, and hadn't been so anxious about Rin's injury that he was teleported to this medical dimension, he probably wouldn't have discovered the hidden details.

"Using infinite energy to create infinite mass—isn't this process precisely about improving and promoting the use of perpetual motion machines? As long as we keep paying attention and observing the process and everything that happens, then it will be the best reference..."

Yusei said, "This might greatly speed up our experiments."

"Oh! There's that trick too!" Jack exclaimed in surprise.

Yusei laughed: "This isn't a view I'd notice while working in the lab all the time."

light.

You have traveled through countless dimensions and many human worlds, encountering countless unique spirits and countless duelists of all kinds…

After these words were spoken, Jack and Crow's gazes toward Hikaru Amagi gradually changed.

The joy of "saying goodbye to friends" gradually turned into enthusiasm, and then into excitement.

The duelist's excitement!

"How much brilliance have you absorbed during all these countless journeys?" Yusei couldn't help but laugh. "Since you're participating in the competition, then—let's meet again on the field!"

"Ha, stop talking to yourself, Yusei! There can only be one true king, and that is me!"

"...Ha, Yusei, you can say something that gets people excited sometimes, huh? Hmm, that's interesting. Amagi, if we meet in the finals, I won't hold back either."

Hikaru Amagi moved his gaze, meeting the eyes of the three in turn, before he couldn't help but laugh: "Ha... interesting, but you're all already enveloped in my [Fusion]. I won't lose!"

-

A brief silence.

"Hahaha--"

Then, all four of them burst into laughter!
"Didn't we say no loud noises in the hospital?!"

The four members of Tiancheng immediately lowered their heads like geese with their necks being choked, and slunk away. Once they were outside the hospital, they couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Hikaru Amagi had a long-awaited and enjoyable reunion with old friends. After visiting Rin and thoroughly inquiring about her condition, he deduced that her "Eve Factor" had been lost before leaving.

"Eve Factor is gone, what will happen to the child?" This was the first time Tiera had shown concern for an extra human.

Maybe... she looks too much like Serena?
"Without the Eve Factor, she might not be able to master Spirit Power as quickly as other counterparts, right? Or she might not have such a high Pendulum Affinity or Adaptability?" Hikaru Amagi pondered.

"...Isn't this very serious?" Tiera asked with some concern.

“But it’s a good thing too.” Hikaru Amagi hesitated for a moment before saying, “At least this way, she is completely and utterly [Rin], no longer someone else’s clone, but a separate, independent, and unique [Rin].

Upon hearing this, Tiera's expression softened considerably: "Oh, a blessing in disguise, that's not bad either?"

Amagi Hikaru pondered for a while, but couldn't quite put his finger on the specifics.

He stretched his limbs: "I wonder if Akama Reiji is having a headache right now."

"Go and see?"

“No—” Amagi Hikaru shook his head slightly, “There’s no time to waste anymore.”

He smiled and said, "Yusei... he's amazing."

Although there was no duel, the feeling was completely different!
He is completely different from the Pendulum Dimension and the duelists I have met recently!
After the Red Dragon incident, Yusei seemed to be constantly conducting experiments, but in reality, he was also constantly "evolving" and "coordinating"!
The opponents he will face in the future are Jack, Crow, Yusei, Manjoume, Edward, Jaden, Yuma, Kaito...

Even... Yugi Muto!
First, make sure you've completed all the necessary preparations!

Otherwise, if you focus on other things and neglect your own, you'll lose more than you gain!
