Chapter 375: Disappear, Loser

“It’s unbelievable, the quality of this year’s newcomers is so high!”

"In just two months after entering the professional dueling world, Ryo Marufuji has already successfully defeated last year's world champion Ed Phoenix!"

"This does not mean that Amity became the champion just by luck, as is rumored, because everyone can see that he is by no means the kind of vase with a lot of wealth but a lot of failure, but a duelist with equally strong strength. "

"It's just that player Ryo Marufuji is too strong. He successfully completed the challenge that was not expected by most people at the beginning, proving the value of the outstanding graduates of Duel Academy and his own strength!"

"No, maybe we shouldn't call him by his name now. Just like the Amity player has the title of 'The Prince of Destiny'. Friends in the audience, let us shout for the winner together -"

"'Caesar'!"

"'Caesar' lights up!"

"'Caesar from Hell'!"

In his ears, the voices of the commentators and the audience were still coming, and Ed could hear their shouts clearly, but his brain could not process that information for the time being, and the only thing that echoed in his mind was the one played by [Electronic Terminator Dragon] just now. hit.

Looking at Ed who was knocked upside down and lying on the ground because of the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] attack that was supposed to be insubstantial but seemed to be real, Caesar had no intention of caring about his defeated general. He just shook his head with a little regret.

Although during the duel, he could not help but compare Ed with another user of the [Hero] deck, Judai Yujo, but he also knew very well that Judai and Judai Ed is completely different. The best evidence is that Judai was able to defeat him, but Ed lost to him.

【D·hero】? I feel inferior to [E·hero].

Although his previous action when activating [Future Fusion] was very cool, after all, Caesar is not like Hayato, who can let the spirits in the cards he throws to help him pick up the cards, so he is a cool person who has promoted the deck. At the cost, Caesar now had to pick up the decks he had thrown on the ground and slowly sort them out.

Because of this, Caesar did not turn around and walk directly to the rear exit like most winners, but had to approach Ed who was sitting on the ground to pick up the cards on the ground.

When he noticed Caesar approaching him and bending down to pick up the card in a rather destructive manner, Ed also raised his head and looked at Caesar. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Your power. Actually broke fate?"

“First of all, let’s redefine what ‘destiny’ is.”

Caesar said while picking up an [Electronic Laser Dragon]. Because he played twenty cards in one breath, Caesar, who couldn't pick up all the cards for a while, had time to say a few words. He is not good at comforting people, but he is very good at using the opportunity to say derogatory rubbish. After all, that is what they are taught in school.

"Redefine 'destiny'?" Ed frowned, "Destiny is destiny, what else can it mean?"

"What is your so-called 'fate' determined by?"

Thinking back on the fates he had been exposed to, the tragic fate that caused his father to pass away early, the epic fate that led him to meet Hayato Kobayashi that night, and the divination that Prince Sai had sworn before the duel, love De replied without hesitation: "What determines fate is, of course, fate itself."

"No, that's not right." However, after hearing Ed's answer, Caesar immediately denied it. "What's the difference between that answer and 'Why climb the mountain? 'Because the mountain is right there'? It sounds very profound and powerful." , but it’s just a rubbish answer that’s not even good as a riddle, right?”

Caesar's comments made Ed a little dissatisfied, but he had just lost to him and couldn't even shut him up in a duel. In particular, Caesar didn't even have time to think. It was as if he would deny himself no matter what answer he had. This made Ed couldn't help but ask: "Then tell me, what is fate and what is fate?" Determined fate?"

Ed thought Caesar couldn't answer his question, but he didn't expect Caesar to give his answer without hesitation: "It's power. There is no doubt that fate is a powerful force, and a powerful force determines fate."

".Power?" This answer was the first time Ed came into contact with a new perspective. He looked at Caesar with confusion on his face.

"I said it at the beginning, a true duelist will never succumb to the so-called fate, because fate is something that the duelist will conquer or even trample on from the beginning. Why can birds fly? Because as weak people, they only have But if birds were powerful enough, they would not have quit competing with their fellow creatures like dinosaurs and would have continued to stand on the earth.”

"And the same is true for fate. Why does the weak die? Is it because of fate? No, just because he is weak. What is the fate of the weak in front of the strong? The so-called fate will only be determined by the strong at that time. This is the nature of fate - that is, the strong will humiliate the weak! "

"In the same situation you encountered in the round you lost, what was the reason for your failure? 'I am stronger than fate'? Nonsense!" Caesar picked up the last card. Standing up, looking down at Ai De, he said, "It's just because you are a weakling, a weakling who is much weaker than me."

"What would it be like if you replaced the duel king you admire - Hayato Kobayashi to face the situation at that time? Let me tell you the answer, that is, that situation will never appear from the beginning. In your first round Before arriving, Hayato-san is probably able to completely suppress my arrangement, and my second round will not even come before the duel comes to an end."

If Caesar said this to others, some might think he was too outrageous. How could he crush others to death before his turn? In comparison, "one kill" or OTK is not too exaggerated, but the praise for Duel King is too much.

But Ed has long been a die-hard fan and single recommender of the Duel King. He has also watched the duel between Caesar and Hayato when he graduated, and knows that what Caesar said is not exaggerated at all and is completely realistic, because he is the one who Someone who was severely suppressed by Hayato in his turn, and then couldn't get his second round and was completely defeated.

Ed initially scoffed at Caesar's answer, but Caesar actually used Hayato as an example? Wo Qu, now I have to believe it.

"The essence of destiny is power?"

Hearing that Ed didn't pay attention to himself at all and was belittling him as a weakling, but instead thinking about the part he had made up before, Caesar was a little surprised, but he still continued in a matter-of-fact tone: "Exactly In this way, as long as it is strong enough, even the arrangement of fate can change its decision, so fate is determined by strong power, while weak and powerless beings can only follow the flow of fate."

"The essence of divination, prophecy, and the so-called 'peeping into fate' is that a powerful force has arranged the fate of the weak in advance, but as long as it is strong enough, such a fate can be easily broken. Even excluding this duel, The video of the duel city in the millennium and the duel between the duel king and the opponent who is said to have prophetic ability in the quarterfinals are also evidence. "

Caesar had never believed in things like divination, not just because Ed was his opponent. The reason is also very simple. In the Duel Academy, the video of the Duel City where many legendary duelists gathered is often shown during classes. I have to admire the foresight of Keihei Kaiba, the vice president of the Kaiba Group.

While watching the video of the duel in which the duel king and his wife were looking at each other with a look full of dog food, and learning how to duel by the way, Caesar has been full of disdain for the so-called fate since then. If fate really couldn't be changed, wouldn't Ms. Isis, who could directly see the specific picture of the future more clearly than those magicians who play divination and tell riddles, defeat Mr. Hayato and become the duel king herself?

"That powerful power is the reason to transcend fate. How can a mere divination and other tricks control a truly strong person?"

"So, fate is not important at all, what is important is strength, the powerful Powder!" Looking at Ed, Caesar sneered, "My fate is to lose to you? That's just because you don't understand your own strength. It’s just an illusion. Even if you win the world championship, you are just an ordinary person who is active in the professional duel world without me.”

"The Duel Academy is far more powerful than you imagine. So -" After sorting out the cards and preparing to leave, Caesar did not forget to leave one more sentence to further attack Ed, the loser.

Putting his index and middle fingers together and pressing them from top to bottom, Caesar sneered and said, "——Disappear, loser!"

"Tsk, is that guy going to die if he doesn't act cool?" Watching the video, Wan Zhangmu leaned his head on the back of the chair and said dissatisfied, "Before the 'blackening', he kept a straight face and acted like a cool guy every day. How popular It doesn’t matter if it’s extremely high. Even after defeating my ‘darkness’, my popularity is still so high. Are those women in the school so fond of darkness?”

"And the way he looks now, is he going to fight professional duels or play exhibition matches? It's so outrageous that he has already gained so many fans just after graduation."

While saying this, Wan Zhangmu imitated Caesar's actions and shouted coldly, "Disappear, loser!"

His words contained all kinds of dissatisfaction with Caesar, but his actions clearly exposed his mentality - it would be a lie to say that he didn't envy Caesar's popularity.

Wan Zhangmu is a person who cares about face, and this has not changed at all from the beginning to the end, no matter how he gets along with dozens of people, even if he can be like "Osiris-red" in the eyes of others without any idol baggage. He got along well with poor students, but he never gave up his ambition of "becoming the emperor of Duel Academy" when he entered school.

Not only do you want to dominate the campus in duels, but if you don't have popularity, even the strongest one is just an independent power, far from being an "emperor". While powerful, you must be "popular" and "extremely popular" "It is also a necessary existence, and it must have male followers and female fans, so that it can be called healthy.

As luck would have it, while surfing the Internet during the summer vacation, Wan Jangmu unexpectedly learned about Fubuki's glorious achievements in school before his disappearance. He also investigated that the serious Fubuki in the past also had the popularity and strength to match his nickname of "King". , and this is exactly what the current Wanzhangmu needs.

Although he wouldn't worship him as his teacher, after all, both Banzhangme and Fubuki were the top four in the Duel Academy Exchange Competition. Banzhangme considered himself to be on par with Fubuki in terms of strength, but Banzhangme still asked Fubuki seriously for advice on how to improve. My popularity in school.

"Mizuki-chan, give me a bite of the marshmallow - ah, Banjome-san, what did you say?" Fubuki, who seemed to be shopping with someone, responded after hearing the phone number Banjome called him at that time, "Welcome The secret, if you tell me this, I won’t feel sleepy.”

"I can't go into details because I have something to do here, but I can briefly mention a few points, such as being able to maintain calmness and elegance for a long time, even if you lose a duel, and being hysterical or resisting failure like a brat. People who tell the truth and say things like, ‘I don’t want that kind of thing, I’ll lose it, I’ll have to wait until at least ten years later’ will not be popular;”

"Then you need to be able to say cool and profound lines, such as 'What cannot be repaired is the so-called human heart' or 'Will you remember how many slices of bread you have eaten?' etc., but never say 'XX can be me' "Mother's Woman" is such a lousy line."

"Also, there are recognizable poses or gestures, just like how Judai-san waves after a duel. Ryo also recently came up with a similar gesture at my suggestion, which he uses during professional duels. The effect seems to be pretty good, and some people are starting to imitate it.”

"Huh? Are we waiting in line for the Ferris wheel? Well, there are so many of them anyway. Wan Zhang Mu Sang, you can also watch more dueling videos of professional duelists for reference. Then I'll hang up now. ,Ciao~”

After coming back to his senses and looking at the video that had stopped playing, Wan Zhangmu stood up with a confident look on his face: "Calm and elegant, I didn't even blush when I lost to that guy Caesar, I can obviously do it; cool lines, Huh, I can pick it up with my literary talent, but it’s a discerning move, so I need to think about it carefully.”

Walking into the living room, Wan Zhangmu put on the blanket he had taken as a cloak, spun around in circles to raise the blanket, and then made an arrogant pose with one finger pointing to the sky: "For example - one, ten, hundreds, thousands, Wan Zhang Mr. Eyes!”

Reciting the lines he had just thought of that he thought were extremely handsome, Wan Zhangmu nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and saw the eldest brother of his three brothers - Wan Zhangmu Changsaku.

"Brother? When did you come?"

"When you walked out of the room." He called Wan Zhangmu several times, but his younger brother was completely immersed in his own world and didn't even hear his voice. Wan Zhangmu Changsaku rubbed his temples, "It's really nonsense. , is this what you’re learning when you go to Duel Academy?”

"I suddenly felt that it was necessary to visit Duel Academy, yes, as a parent." (End of Chapter)
