Chapter 263 The Rain Won’t Keep Falling, but the Head Will
"The winner of the third duel is Marufuji Ryo from the Obelisk-Blue Dormitory!"
No matter what the mood and state of others are, the decision must be made at the moment of victory or defeat. This is Professor Chronos's task as a referee at this moment.
When Marufuji Ryo's basic points were reduced to zero under the attack of [Armored Black Dragon-Electronic Dark Dragon] with an attack power of 9700 points, he promptly pronounced Marufuji Ryo's promotion and the elimination of Marufuji Ryo.
It was not until then that he, like everyone else, marveled at the last blow that Marufuji Ryo had just made. In the past, [Electronic End Dragon] could only become 8000 points of attack power even if [Restriction Release] or [Power Welding] was used. Although it was far beyond the attack power that monsters in ordinary duels could have, it was still a little worse than the 9700 points just now.
However, what exactly was Marufuji Ryo's performance in the duel?
Not far behind him, Jonouchi curiously leaned his head to Hayato and said, "Have you found the thing you are interested in, Hayato?"
"Even if the software is handled by Kaiba and the hardware configuration is produced by the Manjome Foundation, it takes time to call the data, and there is definitely a delay."
Hayato held a transparent display screen whose principle could not be seen, "Besides, Kaiba is preparing the game console 'Cocoon' and the virtual world 'Duel- Links’ final loading check, even the island’s servers were occupied with computing power. ”
“It’s just like going back from the 5G network in 2024 to the 2G network 20 years ago. Slow loading is normal.”
“Huh? Hayato, what are you talking about? It’s only 2006 this year, right? Didn’t Tojino City have a full 6G network five years ago?” Jonouchi said in a somewhat strange tone, “Although it’s only Tojino City, other places are relatively poor even with the satellite coverage of the Kaiba Group, but they won’t still be using 5G in 2024, right?”
“Hayato, you mean to use 5G in the most backward places?” Yugi also guessed.
"Just take your understanding as it is, anyway, that's pretty much what I meant." Hayato said, sighing casually, "It's Isis who can still get what I said sometimes."
Although the [Millennium Jewelry] has long been buried underground with other [Millennium Artifacts], just like Pegasus can intercept some magic power through his long-term negative distance contact with the [Millennium Eye], Isis has used the [Millennium Jewelry] since she was a child, and also has some of that special power.
Although he teases Kaiba every day that he "is thinking about a thousand years later", in fact, Hayato is also a person who always looks at the future. Only Isis, who can also see the future, can keep up with his overly jumpy thinking, but it is limited to the field outside of Duel Monsters.
In the world of Duel Monsters, it is considered good to have ten people who can compare with him, but is there really anyone who can fight with Hayato today? Last time, even Jonouchi, Kaiba and Yugi had gathered, and the final winner was still Hayato. Although part of the reason was that Kaiba and the others had been fighting among themselves, didn't Hayato also not take out the complete [Pearl Tears]?
Not to mention, now Hayato even obtained [Pearl Tears Elegy Clan Type Kusaka Nuwei Clan], commonly known as the "Red Mermaid" through the duel with the three of them, and further unlocked the [Kusaka Nuwei Clan] also known as the "Angry Kshatriya". The two super mainstreams have merged into one, who can still be Hayato's opponent?
What else in the world can resist? Damn, what else in the world can resist? !
Hayato felt that if he was the protagonist of a novel, he might be the protagonist of a sadistic novel because he couldn't even deal with Bekas, but now he is clearly the protagonist of a cool novel!
It's impossible that he is invincible in the world, and the title of the next chapter is "Alien Enemy"?
"Beep~"
The prompt sound of loading completion attracted Hayato's attention, reminding him that although he had unlocked the [Kusha Nuwei Clan], he did not have enough DP points to redeem them all, and he also remembered that he was still doing business.
Looking down at the tablet that made the sound, the transparent screen showed the full playback of the duel between Manjomu Jun and Marufuji Ryo just now, but it was not just a simple video, but everything in the duel was recorded and reconstructed in the form of data, and even the heart rate and other data of the two people during the duel could be clearly seen by adjusting the options.
Hmm? How did you collect the data? Yes, how did Kaiba do it? Hayato is also looking for the reason.
In short, the technology of Kaiba Group is amazing, right?
Not very interested in the physical data of these adolescent boys, Hayato screened the cards and listed all the cards that appeared in the duel just now recorded by the duel disk on the screen. He quickly found a purple-bordered fusion monster card - Marufuji Ryo's [Chimera Fortress Dragon].
However, when Hayato clicked on the card, the upper right corner of the screen automatically filtered out the cards with the same name in the database for comparison, and directly marked the differences from the records in the database, and sent a pop-up prompt to Hayato to ask whether to deal with the abnormal data.
After casually clicking "No" to close the pop-up window, Hayato checked the differences in the cards. Yugi also looked over curiously because Hayato did not hide it, but spread it directly in front of them: "[Embedded [Fortress Dragon], this card also has two versions of effects.”
"The first version of [Chimera Fortress Dragon] can only be specially summoned with [Fusion], and when the fusion summon is successful, all cards on its field other than itself will be sent to the graveyard. Although the attack power is 0, it will not be affected by It changes depending on the number of fusion materials, but the combat damage it can cause to both players is 0 and will not be destroyed by battle. Depending on the number of fusion material monsters, it can attack the opponent's monster multiple times, but each attack can be declared. Causes 400 points of effect damage."
Reciting the effect of the first version of [Chimera Fortress Dragon], the game complained: "Mr. Samejima's seems to be this version. The effect is quite consistent with the characteristics of his deck, especially when combined with [Nightmare Torment] room] when in use.”
(Fat Tiger and Xiaofu are convinced)
"Before Duel Academy was established, I suffered a lot when I met Mr. Samejima at the World Championships. Fortunately, Hayato called Mr. Samejima to come to Duel Academy as the vice-principal and prevented him from competing at the World Championships. Ouch, I mean to let other players see the power of 'Electronic Flow'." Afterwards, he noticed that Samejima was looking at Hayato in the distance. He didn't know that he actually wanted to ask Hayato for a "why?" Jonouchi thought he had heard him saying bad things about him behind his back, so he quickly changed his words.
In order to work with Hayato to open the final secret of "Electronic Flow" - that is, the seal of [Ryuuki Takumi], Samejima almost burned his souls to squeeze the cards he used [Electronic Darkness]. What happened afterwards Because of this, Samejima's body was damaged and it became difficult for him to bear that level of duel again. For this reason, he reluctantly gave the "Uratron Current" to Hayato when Hayato said that he could awaken a new [Ryuuki Takumi].
However, "I'm injured" ≠ "I can't duel". People like Malik whose soul has been literally cracked can pick up the duel plate again after recuperation, let alone Samejima, and he is only In the World Championship instead of a high-load duel like a dark game.
I remember that it was 2001, five years ago. It was the year Duel Academy was established, the year Hayato and the others graduated, the year GenX was held for the first time, and it was also the only year Samejima participated in the World Championship. In the semi-finals, Samejima faced Jonouchi, who signed a contract with the Kaiba Group's Duelist Agency after graduation and became a professional duelist. Even a gambling king like Jonouchi was almost defeated by Samejima's blood-burning combo, but in the end he was defeated. Remember [Black Flame Bullet] used the same blood-burning tactics to make a comeback.
Needless to say, there was no need to say more about the subsequent finals, which was a "decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City". However, because the opponent in the city was actually Peacock Dance, the professional duelist world competition was turned into a show for this yellow-haired couple. A large-scale dog food distribution site for affection and flirtation. Samejima, on the other hand, accepted Hayato's invitation and became the vice-principal of Duel Academy with some regret that he showed up again after Duel Kingdom but still only made it to the top four.
Jonouchi proved in that duel that even though they were among the top four of the Duel Kingdom, he was stronger than Samejima. He also felt the same frustration as Hayato and other opponents who had played against Samejima. The feeling of humiliation, that uncomfortable feeling of not being able to break through the opponent's watertight defense, but being burned little by little with various troublesome cards, among which [Chimera Fortress Dragon] left a particularly deep impression on Jonouchi.
"But the card named Ryo's kid just now doesn't have that effect, right?" Jonouchi looked at the tablet in Hayato's hand, "The fusion material is the same [Electronic Dragon] and one or more mechanical monsters, but it becomes Instead of being able to fusion summon, monsters on both sides of the field can be sent to the graveyard to be used as fusion materials for direct special summons. At the same time, they also gain resistance like [Five Array Magician] that cannot be used as fusion materials.”
"The attack power is not always 0 in Mr. Samejima's version, but has the effect of 'turning the original attack power into a value equal to the number of fusion material monsters x 1000 points'. I still like this version better than Mr. Samejima's version. A little more version.”
Compared to the blood-burning and tortured prison monster, Jonouchi is more accepting of this version of [Chimeric Fortress Dragon] used by Ryo Marufuji. But at the same time, he had new doubts.
"Mr. Samejima's style is blood-burning tactics, and the kid named Liang prefers to attack more forcefully, so he uses two different versions of cards. I can understand this." Pointing to the data displayed on the tablet, "But I had doubts during the duel just now - why can the attack version of [Chimera Fortress Dragon] be summoned by [Fusion] like the blood-burning version of [Chimera Fortress Dragon]? The effect is still the same as before. version of."
"This is probably growth. Changes in the physical body will affect a person's spirit, and similarly, spiritual transformation can also make changes in the material world." Hayato thought of his [Hungry and Poison Fusion Dragon] and said. When I first got that card, her effect was still the real card version, but now it has transformed into a perfect version that retains the advantages of the real card version and the animated version and removes the flaws as it continues to absorb and devour the power of other beings. Even The same is true for cards such as [Desire Poison Fusion Dragon] that evolved later.
"It has evolved in terms of summoning conditions, but still retains its underlying effects? It is indeed similar to the child himself." Watching Ryo Marufuji leave the field, Yugi said, "In the middle of the duel, suddenly He realized something and drastically changed his dueling style and even his personality. It seems really scary, but if you look closely, you can realize that he has not changed the deepest color of his heart. "
"Even if the method used seems to be 'blackened', he still retains his 'light' as a duelist." After a pause, Yugi smiled, "This is probably the 'black will' and the 'golden will' Spiritual coexistence, right? He is a student very similar to you, Hayato."
Saying that, Yugi turned his head and saw Kyoko looking at him with a subtle expression: "What's wrong, Kyoko?"
"We don't know much about dueling monsters, but you said, Yugi, that kid's personality suddenly changed during the duel, and we have a lot of say." Kyoko complained, "We are the least qualified to say this about others. Aren't you just a game? In the past, when Atum was still in the world, you sometimes behaved as if you were schizophrenic. Even the teachers at school told us to take more care of you as friends. "
"Ah hahaha, is that so?" Hearing Kyoko say this, Yugi laughed a little embarrassedly, as if he had turned back into the shy boy in high school.
When Rebecca heard this, she suddenly stretched out her hand and hugged one of Yugi's arms, squinted at Kyoko and said, "Don't always mention the things in high school that only you two remember. Do you think you and Darling are the only ones who have something special?" Shared memories? Darling and I went to the same university!"
"I'm not convinced when you say this. If you have to say it, Yugi and I are childhood sweethearts, right?" He also hugged Yugi's other arm unceremoniously and squeezed it tightly with his strong chest muscles. , increase the pressure to increase the friction, Kyoko deliberately teased Rebecca, "Not to mention high school, even in junior high school and elementary school, I have unique memories of the game~"
Looking at the game "It's over! I'm surrounded by young tame Ran and blond hair Tensei", Jonouchi subconsciously complained: "You can still start a quarrel when you are clearly just short of getting the certificate. Is this part of their play in the game?"
"It sounds like you also want to find someone to play with someone like that?" The gentle voice of Peacock Mai came to my ears, but it made Jonouchi's breathing suddenly hitch. She put her arms around Jonouchi's neck and made love to him very affectionately. After making a hug, Maoque Wu's other hand suddenly grabbed Jonouchi's ear, and gradually increased his strength and said, "Be honest, did you have any idea in your mind that another woman was sitting next to you and snatching you away from me? !”
"That Kitamori Reiko who signed a professional duelist agency with you? That Vivian Wang who flirted with you at last year's World Championship? Don't tell me you were thinking of Barong just now!"
"It's unfair. Although Kitamori Reiko confessed her love to me, didn't I refuse in front of you? Vivian also asked me if there was any way to get Hayato's autograph. After the game, I wrote it for me by Hayato. His name was deducted from the review document and given to her. Barong, I don’t even know where he is!”
——————
"Ah sneeze!" At the gate of the Electronic Flow Gym, Barong was lying on a deck chair, enjoying the warm sunshine at noon. He suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said to himself: "How come all of a sudden? Are you sneezing? Could it be that the nun you met in the church yesterday was talking about me? No, she must be thinking about me!"
"It won't rain all the time, but it will rain first." The voice of the former teacher came from the gym, "Barong, the toilet is blocked!"
Helplessly getting up, Barong walked towards the gym and replied: "I know, here we go -"
——————
"Huh? You really thought about Barong!"
"Darling/Game, she and I fell into the water, who do you save first?"
"Hey! Hayato save me!" X2
Hayato, who stood up from his seat and left the scene temporarily, looked back at Yugi who was "hugging left and right" and Jonouchi who was "kissing" Maiko Mai: "Jounouchi? Yugi? (No concern)" (End of Chapter)
