Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

It was as if there were no living people inside...

Or maybe, the existence of Wanzhang's purpose was simply ignored by them...

"It's useless. This is the Northern Branch of the Duel Academy. If you don't have 40 cards that can be used for dueling, they won't open the door..."

Just as Manzhangmu was thinking about his next move, a bald uncle who was sitting in front of the fire not far from him suddenly spoke to Manzhangmu who was pounding on the door.

His face was filled with deep fatigue and vicissitudes. Judging from his appearance, he was obviously a middle-aged bald unemployed uncle...

I don't know why he came to Duel Academy. He can't be here to take the entrance exam, right?

At his age... he's almost a grandfather...

"Is this the North? I have a card in my hand... why don't they open the door?"

The north wind was blowing, and Wanzhangmu felt a little cold. He walked towards the fire and sat down next to the bald man.

"Hmm? I see, that's how it is... Your cards are all soaked! You can't duel with cards like this... How about you dry them out first?"

"...How long will it take to bake?" Looking at the tiny flame, Wanzhangmu couldn't help but frowned.

"Uh……"

Looking at the Wanzhangmu deck, the bald man hugged his body in front of the fire and gave a suggestion: "Or... you can also go around and look for scattered cards to form a temporary deck..."

"Oh? Do the students here also like to throw cards like in Duel Academy?"

Hearing the bald man's words, Wanzhangmu couldn't help but reveal an interested expression on his face.

But soon, this interest slowly turned into disappointment.

A discarded card naturally cannot be a powerful card. Even if you take great pains to pick it up, it probably won't be very powerful.

After all, people won’t throw away truly useful cards.

"Well, there are cards hidden in the cracks of the icebergs around this academy, as well as deep in the caves. Collecting forty cards is the requirement for admission here."

Looking into the unknown distance, the bald man who seemed like a guide in the game turned his head to look at Manzhangmu beside him, and said with some self-mockery: "If you find those cards, you can go in. Otherwise... you will face the same tragic end as me..."

"Tsk, don't you have a card? Why are you sitting here?"

Looking down at the man's left arm, Manjomu saw his duel disk and the deck of cards placed on it.

"Ah, this... There are only 39 cards here... I have worked so hard to collect the cards, using up all my willpower and energy, but I am only missing this last card..."

The bald man covered his head in pain when he heard this.

A strong atmosphere of despair began to emanate from his body.

"I see. Are you just like me now, an excluded straggle?"

After hearing the bald man's explanation and realizing the current situation, Manjomu showed an expression of approval on his face.

Then, he took out pocket fives and酒%@④}#⑨=⑧@*八&-八=*零<$七|{六~>一里掏出了一张银行卡，展示给了加*~1&N{Ｊ%0$#1&７>%4<$5@9#~４}9/$8秃顶男观看：“喂！做个交易吧，我把这张卡给你，你把你的卡组交给我。”

In Manzhangmu's hand, there is a card that can be used normally now. It is the [Disturbance·Yellow] card that the Seaweed Man gave him and that he disliked so much.

If he could get the remaining 39 cards from the bald man, he would have just enough 40 cards to enter the castle.

As for the bank card in my hand...

Humph! As the third young master of the Wanzhangmu Group, this amount of money is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for him, it is just a little private money.

In this difficult time, it’s no pity to use it to exchange for a deck!

As for going to the cracks of the iceberg and searching for the card with great effort... Wanzhangmu had never thought of such a stupid behavior.

Why work hard if you can solve it with money?

"How about it, uncle? This card contains..."

Shaking the bank card in his hand, Wanzhangmu subconsciously put on his old superior attitude.

With such generous conditions, I believe that this lonely man in front of me will definitely not refuse!

312 Resurrection, lightning in the eyes! (6K)

At the Northern College covered in ice and snow, next to a campfire at the entrance.

The cards were soaked by the sea water, and only one card, [Disruption·Yellow], was working properly. Manjomu handed a large green bank card to the bald man sitting next to him, and suggested, "Uncle, I'll give you this card... In exchange, how about giving me the cards in your hand? You can't use them anyway! With your card, it's just enough for me to get into the castle."

Manjomu, who said this, had a strong sense of confidence on his face.

He believed that faced with such tempting conditions, the bald man would definitely not choose to refuse.

However, beyond everyone's expectation.

Faced with the tempting conditions he proposed, the bald man, who looked a little sloppy and exuded a lost aura, rejected Wanzhangmu's proposal without hesitation: "No! These cards are proof that I came here! Are you going to take them away with money?"

"For a duelist, cards are more important than life! How could I give them up just for your money?"

Instead of feeling happy, the bald man who saw Manzhangmu's actions suddenly hid the duel disk with the deck in his arms.

The protective attitude he showed clearly showed that he valued these cards more than his own life.

"..."

After seeing the bald man's reaction, Wanzhangmu was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up: "...Forget it, do your own thing...Since you don't want to exchange, then I will collect the cards myself!"

Wanzhangmu's proud self-esteem did not allow him to make any begging gesture.

So after confirming the bald man's attitude, he decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade him.

"...I just don't believe that there is anything that can stump me, Mr. Manzhangmu!"

Muttering these words, Wanzhangmu turned around, waved his clothes, and embarked on his journey without hesitation.

At this moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten that not long ago, he was still thinking about how to be lazy and how to take shortcuts...

"Be careful! The more powerful the card, the more dangerous it is hidden in... If you only want to collect 40 cards and are not willing to take risks, then you can only get the useless cards discarded by the students..."

The bald man kindly gave a reminder to Wanzhangmu as his figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Upon hearing the reminder, Wanzhangmu waved his hand in response.

……

"Well……!"

“Ah…haha!”

The cold wind blew, and the hems of her clothes fluttered.

From day to night, from dawn to dusk.

Having crossed glaciers and seas, and experienced countless failures, Manjome became more determined. He now relied on his determination and gritted his teeth to climb the steep ice peaks: "Just watch! Yusei, Yuki Judai, Chronos... and those guys who look down on me! I will definitely collect all 40 cards... I, Mr. Manjome, will never be eliminated!"

All the resentment he felt in the past now turned into the motivation for him to move forward.

As I recalled all the failures in the past, my goal-oriented mentality gradually changed in the process.

……

"This way, it's over!"

Standing in front of the gate of Northern College again, he held the last card he had collected in front of himself, and a mixed expression flashed across his eyes.

Even he himself did not expect that he would actually do such a stupid move in the past, and it actually succeeded...

"Hey~ Uncle, are you still here?"

His eyes swept across the fire in front of the door. The bald uncle was still in the same posture as when Wanzhangmu left. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his arms folded, staring into the distance.

During the time when Manzhangmu was away, he seemed to do nothing and just kept quietly thinking about the meaning of life.

"Ah! You're back? Did you collect all 40?"

Looking at Manzhangmu standing in front of him again, the bald man couldn't help but show an expression of shock in his eyes.

Could it be... that he really completed that almost impossible task?

With his thumb and index finger propped on his chin, he struck a showy pose and began to show off his glorious achievements: "Ah... In the cold sea, I fought with killer whales in the North Sea, climbed up the towering cliffs, fought with ferocious polar bears, and in the pitch-black cave, I battled wits and courage with vampire bats..."

"...After going through so many difficulties and hardships, I finally collected this brand new card!"

Manjyoumu said this while showing his duel disk to the bald man. In the deck area of ​​the duel disk, there was a brand new deck.

As for the previous cards, they had already been processed individually by Wanzhangmu and put into the card bag one by one.

I believe that it will be ready for use soon.

"Oh? That means... you will be able to enter Northern College soon?" The bald man clenched his fists and showed an envious look on his face.

There was also sincere admiration in the look he gave towards Wanzhang.

Bald man: "Great! Great! You're back safe and sound... Actually, I've been regretting it since you left..."

Wanzhangmu: "...Regret?"

Bald man: "Yeah... I should have given you the deck at that time. I couldn't let you, a young man, become as miserable as me... But you came back safe and sound! Now I can rest assured!"

"Come in... this door will be open for you next!" The bald man pointed at the tightly closed heavy door.

"..."

Looking at the bald man's excited face, Wanzhangmu remained silent.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a card from his deck and said, "Uncle, come in with me."

"……Why?"

"Here's the card for you. Now you have 40 cards in your hand, and you can enter here."

"Give me the card? But you're not..."

"...Don't worry, I've already collected all 41 cards! Besides...this card is not needed in my deck..."

As he said this, Manjomu reached out and took out the useless [Disturbance·Yellow] card and handed it to the bald man in front of him.

"To my surprise... there is a good person like you!"

Tears flowed out.

The bald man extended his hand gratefully, and was about to take the card handed to him by Manjomu.

However, at this time.

Wanzhangmu's hand seemed to be disobedient to his commands and began to avoid the hand extended by the bald man without permission.

"What's wrong? Are you suddenly not going to give me the card anymore?"

Looking at Wanzhangmu's actions, a puzzled expression appeared on the bald man's face.

"No...it's my hands that don't obey my commands!!!"

“Mmmm… What’s going on? This hand is moving on its own…!” Confused by his own unusual situation, Manjome used his other free arm to fix the moving hand.

"Hey, brother! Are you really going to abandon me?"

"How could this be... I have always trusted you, big brother! Why did you hand me over to someone else?"

Just when Manzhangmu was confused about his current situation, an ugly yellow snail man... no! It was the projection of [Disruption·Yellow], suddenly appeared in front of him and took the initiative to act coquettishly towards him.

"...Ugh! What on earth is this disgusting thing of yours!"

Looking at the ugly elf that suddenly appeared in front of him, twisting its butt and acting cute, Wanzhangmu instinctively wanted to vomit.

"What's wrong? Is there anything there?"

Seeing Manzhangmu talking to the air, the bald man couldn't help but make a questioning sound.

Manzhangmu pointed ahead of him, "Hmm? Can't you see this ugly looking monster?"

Bald man (looks confused): "Uh...what did you see?"

Disturb Huang (twisting his butt in a shy manner): "Hehehehe... only big brother can see what I look like~~ Please, don't give me to others~~~"

"What...?" Forcing himself to suppress his disgust, Wanzhangmu stretched out his hand and waved away the annoying elf in front of him: "...get away!"

"Please~~~ We are real brothers, just put me in your deck!"

"Uuuuuuu..."
