Is this the world of Yu-Gi-Oh? Ada thief!

"DOMO, kaiser=san, agape desu."

Speaking a strange Japanese, Ed looked at his opponent, Ryo Marufuji, and greeted him politely. Greetings before battle are a sacred and inviolable etiquette for duelists, and this is also recorded in the "Kojiki".

However, after hearing Ed's greetings, after fighting Hayato in the graduation model duel, Maru had officially debuted as an outstanding graduate of the Duel Academy, and had been in the professional duelist circle for quite some time under the name "Hell Caesar". Teng Liang glanced at Ed with a rather strange look.

It has to be said that looking at people sideways can really shape the momentum of the evil party: "Oh, is that kind of thing popular among professional duelists? Those weaklings are like this, and I didn't expect that last year's 'Lucky Champion' was also like this. "

The so-called "lucky champion" is a term that has been spread for some time. It refers to Ed in front of Caesar. The reason is that his victory last year was too lucky and good. Every time Every opponent he encountered could be restrained by the cards he possessed, but at the same time, the legendary duelists who were able to duel despite being restrained, coincidentally failed to meet him or did not participate at all due to their own reasons.

So much so that the value of winning the 2005 Professional Duelist World Championship has become extremely low in the eyes of most people. If I have to make an analogy, it's like the TGA awarded the Game of the Year to "Dragon Age: Inquisition", but instead of competing for the best game of the year, it was "Baby 2", "A Matched Rival", and "The Lord of the Rings" and "Dark Souls 2".

It’s not that it’s not good, it’s just that the gold content of its “championship” is far less than that of the next year’s “Start a Dog 4”, “Super Mario Maker”, “Yharnan Outlander” and “Metal Gear Solid” which are all PS5 pro but not exclusive to PC. 5: It Hurts" competed and won the year's best "Sorceress Fighter 3".

Ed's "lucky champion" is in a similar situation. Even this name is still preferred. There are many guys on the Internet who rely on their anonymity and others don't know who they are to just call him "Paralympic Cup" champion".

When he said this, he was speaking in English. Not to mention that when he was a child, he trained with Samejima Shihan at the "Electronic Flow" gym in the United States. Duel Academy also had language courses. After all, there will be people who will join large companies like International Illusion Society in the future to be in charge of cards. The work of translators, mastering the language of Duel Monsters cards and translating them correctly into another language is also a discipline.

After graduating with perfect scores in all subjects, Caesar translated in English "the effect of the card is invalid", "the activation of the card is invalid", "the activation of the card's effect is invalid", "the effect of the card activation is invalid", "when the card is activated" "The effect of the card on the field is invalid", "The effect of the card on the field is invalid", "The effect of the card on the field is invalid", "The card cannot be activated", "The effect of the card cannot be activated", "The effect of the card on the field cannot be activated", "The effect is not applicable" and "the effect is not processed" can be done, let alone communicating in English?

Although Ed has always shown a very elegant gentleman's demeanor in public, and he is a very polite person on the surface, but that does not mean that he can still smile when he is provoked by Caesar in person.

"It's not popular, it's just basic courtesy." Looking at Caesar, Ed said coolly, "Because you are an opponent you can only meet once, why don't you take this last chance to say hello?"

"After all - after losing to me in this duel, I'm afraid you will no longer have the courage to be my enemy. You will not even be able to carry out a normal duel. You will have to fall into the trap called ' Fail' the hell of a guy right?"

Tapping his temple, Ed said mysteriously: "This is what I know, your 'fate' - to be completely defeated in front of me."

Ed was not just talking rubbish before a race to get people into trouble, he was just stating the facts quite honestly. The basis for his saying this comes from the divination that his friend and professional duel manager, Saiou Takuma, performs before every Ed duel.

Different from ordinary people who do divination just for the sense of ritual, the professional duel agent is just a hobby cultivated by Saou Takuma for charity. The fortune teller is his true job, and he who uses tarot cards for divination does have quite magical powers. Ability, the accuracy of divination so far is as high as 99.99%! If he hadn't met Jonouchi Katsuya a year ago at Duel Academy, Saioh's accuracy would have been as high as 100%.

Chariot, in tarot card divination, the upright chariot represents complete victory. This is the result of King Zai's divination for Ed's duel, which means that Caesar will usher in the duel with Ed. Defeat, and subsequent divination by King Zai in order to provide Ed with relevant information about the Caesar deck continued to confirm this conclusion.

The Fool reversed represents a sharp decline in performance; the Magician reversed represents weak willpower and failure; the Priestess reversed represents excessive self-esteem and biased judgment.

Interpreting various symbols together, King Sai told Ed what he learned from divination about Ryo Marufuji's next fate - as an outstanding graduate of Duel Academy who has long developed a arrogant attitude and a pretentious "academic" The duelist Ryo Marufuji will be defeated by the "practical" duelist Ed and fall into a complete defeat.

He will find it difficult to recover from this setback because of his pride, and his status as a supernova in the professional duelist circle will plummet. He may even make a wrong judgment inadvertently after a big failure, and fall into a dangerous desperate situation.

The card drawn for the final ending is Wands 9, which represents injury, a desperate struggle, and energy that cannot be released. I am afraid that Marufuji Ryo's ending will be just struggling and dying in a desperate situation where he cannot exert his power.

Looking at Marufuji Ryo who was sneering at him with a pitying look, Ed said, "In order to pay tribute to the legendary duel event - the 'Duel City' of Tojino City, every year before the official competition, the World Professional Duel Championship will hold a points accumulation competition to select 16 qualified duelists. In order to get a higher ranking, most people will choose opponents who have the highest ranking in the previous competition on the premise of ensuring that their opponents can be defeated by themselves."

"But, you just defeated some duelists at the bottom of the professional duelist circle and accumulated enough points to challenge me, but you actually came to me like this? What, do you want to make me a stepping stone on your way forward? Are you so confident?"

"Confident? No, I'm just tired of bullying those small fry. Since I have enough points to challenge the higher-ranked professional duelists, why don't I choose the opponent who can improve my level the fastest?" Caesar sneered, not taking Ed seriously at all, "Winning last year's world championship puts you in the top 10 of professional duelists, which looks pretty good."

(The original work does classify professional duelists. Refer to the duel city, Jonouchi is classified as LV3 and is specially marked as ordinary bone)

"I see, defeating high-level duelists or winning large-scale competitions is indeed the fastest way to improve your professional level, so you came to me." Ed smiled slightly and shook his head, "But it's not possible. Although you are older, I am the senior in the field of professional duelists. 'You can't eat hot noodles in a hurry', the price of rashly choosing me as your opponent, you have to pay with your defeat."

"This is the 'fate' you are facing!"

As Ed took the lead in lifting the duel disk and posing in a ready duel preparation posture, the enthusiastic cheers of Ed's fans immediately broke out in the competition venue where the two were!

"Wow! EDOa's smile is so innocent!"

"Ounegai! Without EDOa, Watasi!"

"Look here, EDOa, we can do anything!"

(As we all know, mygo has a ygo column)

However, although he entered the professional duelist circle less than Ed, Caesar's popularity is not much less than Ed, who is an "innocent boy" without any education and graduated from a "higher institution" like Duel Academy - although Duel Academy can only be regarded as a "technical secondary school" in a strict sense, in this world of card players, even world-class universities such as Masheng Polytechnic and Harbin Institute of Technology are not as valuable as Duel Academy.

"Lord Caesar! Suki~"

"Love, Love, Love~"

While the number of fans is even greater than Ed, it has a natural suppression effect on Ed's fan group, which is generally younger.

"Suwako! Didn't you say you took the money to take foreign language classes? You actually bought that shirt for Ed!"

"Gah! Sanae, don't come over here! Kanako, save me!"

However, the audience's enthusiasm did not seem to affect Caesar and Ed, who had already started to confront each other. Looking at Ed's actions, Caesar sneered and said, "You keep talking about 'fate', are you a slave to fate?"

"If you don't even dare to fight against fate, what's the point of fighting for victory? What a boring man." Caesar said disdainfully, and he also raised the duel disk, "Let me destroy the so-called destined 'fate' you mentioned with 'electron flow'!"

Caesar's words made Ed quite dissatisfied and unhappy: "If it is so easy to change, then what kind of 'fate' is it?"

At the same time, the two realized a fact - that is, although they both have arrogant personalities, their inner selves are all contradictory and conflicting, and they are not compatible at all.

No matter how Caesar's dueling style changes, whether in the "Electronic Flow" period, the "Inner Electron Flow" period, or even now when he begins to explore "eternity", he has a strong will as a duelist and never believes in things like fate, which is inconsistent with Ed's thoughts;

Ed is also completely opposite. Caesar has no idea what kind of thoughts are filled between his elegant appearance and his heart, but Ed's heart is full of obedience to fate, which Caesar can't stand.

If it were a music or dance show, the two people with conflicting ideas would probably only be able to fight against each other or dance in the rain, but this is the world of card players, so for Caesar and Ed, who happen to be opponents, the best thing to do at this moment is -

"Duel!" X2

In this new duel venue built by Kaiba Entertainment Group - the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon Hall" filled with the personal preferences of a certain president, the duel between the two "supernovas" in the professional duelist circle officially opened!

[Ed Phoenix: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

[Marufuji Ryo: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

Compared to regular duels where "whoever draws the fastest and shouts the fastest" can get the first strike, professional duels are obviously much more formal. The intelligent referee system awarded the first strike to Ed's side, and he never got stuck. Draw a card from the group: "The first attack is on my side, so on my turn, draw a card!"

While Ed, who was attacking first, drew a card from the deck, Caesar recalled someone who came to him not long ago.

"The hero of Destiny, [D hero]? Sounds like a card related to [E hero]?" Looking at the information in his hand, Caesar subconsciously read the name of the card written on it, " [D·hero Blood Demon-D] can liberate any three-body monster and can be specially summoned. It can equip the opponent's monster and seize its effects. In addition, combined with [D-Power], it can further invalidate the effects of all monsters on the opponent's field and obtain unlimited times. Take the target and be defeated by Kang."

"Does this directly reveal the specific effect of my opponent's card in compliance with the regulations, Principal Hayato?"

"What is Hayato Kobayashi? There's no one with that name here. Just call me Pantyhose Off, or Cassidy." He mentioned a name casually, and someone said, "And he only revealed what cards the other party had and what cards he had. It’s just an effect, nothing illegal, and it’s not like opening up the opponent’s deck for you to take a peek at.”

(Brother IV who caught a shark while fishing: Indeed)

"If you have to say it, this can only be regarded as basic intelligence collection. This work is usually handled by your agent. It's just that your opponent didn't need to collect intelligence before."

"But even if that's the case, there's no need for you, Principal Hayato, to come to me specifically, right?"

"As I said, I am not a gentle and kind-hearted powerful duelist like Kobayashi Hayato." Someone who was lying with his eyes open took a look at his card box, "I just want to disgust a certain 'Destiny' lover. , starting with his duelists."

"As for the title, a graduation gift to make up for it? To celebrate your ten consecutive wins since your debut? Anyway, I got an extra one like this when I drew cards a while ago. Instead of selling it to a store and letting profiteers make the difference, I might as well give it to you."

"Use it well~"

The figure of Caesar who looked down at the card he received at that time overlapped with the figure of Caesar who looked down at the card in his hand. He looked up again at Ed who seemed to have made a decision and was about to play the card. Caesar sneered: "Let go." Come here, Ed Phoenix. I'll use you to test my current 'measurement', and'

‘Is the ‘eternity’ on that card a dream ‘bubble’ or a real ‘infinity’! '(End of chapter)
