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

Although both Banzhangmu and Asuka were a little worried that the progress of others who were earlier than themselves would have exceeded theirs by too much, so they all rested as quickly as possible at the supply locations they found to restore their strength and replenish supplies to prepare to set off again.

But in fact, they ignored a very important thing.

First of all, not everyone knows the existence of card elves, nor is it clear that duel monsters can be further materialized based on virtual images;

Secondly, even if they know about the card spirits and realize that the duel monsters have materialized, not everyone can learn from their respective spirits that this environment can allow them to do so like the two rare "elven messengers" Judai and Banjomu. Their duel monsters have materialized. Without a mind like Asuka's, it would be difficult to think calmly and make bold judgments in a sudden crisis;

Finally, although last year's "Duel-Links" seemed to be a trial for a few people, most people just went to the virtual world as spectators. But it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the experience of controlling real duel monsters in the game that those who have played the game have the vague idea in their minds that "I can control the duel monsters to fight."

Don't underestimate this point. It is precisely because of this that Asuka can think of this action plan on the way to escape. You must know that ordinary people can only think about escaping or not escaping. Even if they stay, they do not give up resistance but If you continue to fight, you will only think about whether you can find any weapons from the surroundings or use the terrain to fight. No one will get crazy and think about using disembodied duel monster images to fight the real monsters in front of you.

Because she and Judai have experienced many crises together, Asuka has long been aware of the supernatural power possessed by Duel Monsters. She has also experienced the world of "Duel-Links" and as one of the top four players, she has experienced the reality of that world with Judai. She is extremely good at playing cards, so when dealing with the [Harpies], it would be reasonable to think of trying to summon monsters; not to mention Wan Zhang Mu, the [Dragon of Light and Darkness] would directly stick to his ear to communicate with him Information.

However, the fact that the two of them were able to defeat the materialized duel monsters they encountered for the first time and then find a supply point to rest does not mean that others can do it, including Ed, who set off earlier than them. ·Phoenix.

cold shaking

Ed Phoenix opened his eyes and found that he was lying on his back on a wooden board. The vibration just seemed to come from the wooden board.

Ed, the source of the "cold" feeling, sat up and found that the suit he was wearing before and even the long sleeves inside had been taken off and replaced with a thin shirt.

"Hey, you're awake, Ed boy."

A voice came from behind Ed. Because he was facing away from the light source, Ed couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he could at least see clearly that the other person was holding a hammer as a weapon.

"Who are you?!"

The vigilant Ed shrank back a little to keep distance from the other person, but this action made the man laugh and said with a smile: "What is that weird defensive posture? It makes it seem like I did something to you. It’s like something, I’m obviously your savior, right?”

"Savior?" Ed was stunned, feeling like he remembered something.

He seemed to remember that after he jumped from the plane and entered the forest, although he was always vigilant, he did not expect that there would be activated trees in the forest. Its posture was extremely similar to the plant-type monster card [Blood Orchid] in Duel Monsters. Similarly, he was caught off guard and managed to escape from his attack.

Although he had known about the existence of supernatural powers before, the supernatural powers that Ed knew about were things like King Zai's divination and the souls in duel monster cards. So far, he had never even seen the card spirits with his own eyes, and had never thought of a duel. Monsters can actually materialize and appear in the world.

However, after the incident, Ed quickly understood the special situation on the island, learned the new knowledge of "the materialization of duel monsters", and soon learned about the only supernatural experience he had had so far - being killed by D.D. when he was a child. The controlled [D·hero Blood Demon-D] held them hostage——connected together.

In order to ensure that he would be able to protect himself when a duel monster materialized suddenly attacked him again, Ed decisively stopped moving forward and chose to try to materialize a duel monster in the forest first, and his first An experimental target is naturally the most trusted card in his body - [D·hero Blood Demon-D].

However, if everyone could actually do something just by thinking about it, then geniuses would no longer be called geniuses. The so-called talent is something even more cruel than mathematics. thing.

Others will deceive you, but not math, because if you don’t know math, you won’t; and even in math, if it’s just a test, you can at least get some plausible answers, and even if you don’t know anything, you can at least get a “ "Answer" score, but the duel monster's talent is so hopeless that without talent, even the slightest answer cannot be made up.

Maybe fifteen times? Or eighteen times? In total, there were at least ten to twenty times. After Ed understood the uniqueness of this island's environment, Ed, as an excellent duelist, used cards with certain special powers that he had a deep bond with [D ·Hero Blood Demon-D], but the result was that even Harry Potter's performance was not as good as when he first learned "Calling God Guard".

Not to mention the physical [D·hero Blood Demon-D], without using the virtual projection device mounted on the duel disk, Ed couldn't summon even a cloud of mist. He was exhausted.

In order to use the heating pack in the self-heating food he carried, Ed decided to go to a nearby stream to get water. After carefully confirming that there were no aquatic duel monsters lurking in the water, and that there were no monsters lurking in the surrounding jungles. , Ed had just cautiously approached the creek to get water, and was always looking around, and would run away immediately if there was any sign of trouble.

Nothing happened until he finished fetching the water. Cutie never thought that there was no problem in the jungle or underwater, only the water he fetched had a problem, because the water he fetched turned out to be [Rebirth Sly] [M], and his operation of adding water to the heating pack directly irritated the [Regenerated Slime], which was not dangerous in itself. Inadvertently, his entire head was wrapped in the [Regenerated Slime], resulting in He suffocated and passed out——

After thinking about it, Ed realized that the person in front of him seemed to be his savior. Although he didn't know how someone could save him even though Mr. Hayato said this was an uninhabited island, Ed quickly corrected himself. He apologized sincerely: "Sorry, I misunderstood you just now. Thank you very much for saving my life."

"Well, you don't have to be so polite. After all, I was called here by that guy Kobayashi Hayato, who asked me to be his student's safety officer. But what I didn't expect was that the first one I met was "Young Master of Destiny." As he said that, the man squatted down and knocked on the wooden board with a hammer.

Only then did Ed realize that the shaking sensation just now seemed to be caused by the man hitting the exposed nails on the board. But what he cared about more than what the man was going to do to the board was: "Kajiki Yuta!?"

Yes, when the man squatted down, Ed unexpectedly discovered that the person who saved him was none other than the legendary duelist who currently ranks eighth in the professional dueling world - Kajiki Yuta, known as "The Fisherman"!

Originally, if Ed had won the previous duel with Caesar, Ed, who won a victory at the beginning of this year's season, would not be assigned a "tough guy" Dinosaur due to his good results last year. Saki was the "fisherman" Kajiki Yuta. At that time, Ed, who was very sure of the duel with Caesar, even made preparations to learn the intelligence of the opponent behind him. But, nothing happens. Because he lost to Caesar, Ed had to fight for the first victory with other professional duelists who also failed to win their first victory. They were missing each other step by step in order to catch up with the professional duelists in front of them. , it is estimated that it will take him several months.

The only thing that makes Ed happy is that for some unknown reason, top professional duelists like Kajiki Yuta and Ryuzaki announced that they would temporarily stop competing for a month just like they did during the championship season last year. Coming to Amity will not deviate too far from their results.

But what he didn't expect was that after he came to Duel Academy and was dragged to this island by Mr. Hayato, he would unexpectedly meet Yuta Kajiki appearing here? !

Also, what did he mean by "security officer" just now?

"The duel monsters on the island look as ferocious as the monsters in the wild, right? If it's the first time you come to the island, you might even think you've entered some kind of demonic realm." Kajiki Yuta knocked the nail back. In the wooden board, he said without raising his head, "But in fact, all the creatures on the island act on the premise of 'not causing irreparable harm', that is, there will be cuts or bruises, or even internal bleeding, Broken limbs or broken bones, etc., but there will definitely be no sequelae, let alone death.”

"Can you do that kind of thing?"

What Ed asked about was not that the serious injuries Kajiki Yuta said could be cured without leaving any sequelae, because he knew that with the technological level of the Kaiba Group, injuries of this level would not really be treated. In the eyes, as long as he is not dead, he can definitely be saved or even healed. "Chasing the soul in the underworld" is the best summary of the medical treatment level of the medical company under the name of Haima Group.

——Even in urban legends, it is said that even those who have been dead for many years, the Kaiba Group has the ability to bring them back to the world, but because it is too outrageous, it must be false.

What he was asking was, how could those materialized duel monsters on the island be restrained by Mr. Hayato from doing any harm beyond the scope? Are those beings self-aware? And have the ability to think?

Although he believes that cards exist in the heart, Ed's opinion is that only cards that entrust important emotions can get the same spiritual response in an equivalent exchange. At least only cards that are important enough can be like his [D·hero Blood Demon-D] ] There is also a "soul" that seems to be alive.

Not to mention whether so many materialized duel monsters are realized by supernatural power or a super-large-scale virtual projection system, but the materialized duel monsters within an island have their own consciousness and wisdom? This was the most incredible thing for Ed.

And Kajiki Yuta seemed to understand what he really meant, nodded and said: "I wouldn't believe it if most people said this, but who told me that it was Kobayashi Hayato who said this to me? After all, he is the duel king. I feel like he is like that Whatever this guy does is reasonable. Just believe in Hayato Kobayashi. You don’t need a reason to believe.”

"If that's the case, what about the security officer?"

It seemed that the knocking was almost done. Kajiki Yuta put down the hammer with satisfaction. After hearing Ed's question, he stood up and said: "Actually, it's just in case, just like you did before, you were killed by [Regenerated Slime] 】You were suffocated and comatose with a seemingly weak attack. If you didn't have a 'safety officer' like me, you would probably be brain-dead. Although you can still recover, it's too troublesome. "

"So it's time for me to take action. It took me a lot of effort to help you pull off the [Regenerated Slime] and clean the residue in your nose and mouth."

Ed also understood why he even changed his clothes after waking up, but he was still a little strange: "You are obviously a legendary duelist, and if you don't spend time here, you can't continue to maintain your level in the professional arena. Are you active? Why would you do such a thing?”

"As for me, I may be different from many others. Duel Monsters was actually just a tool at the beginning. I even had a bit of a dislike for it." Kajiki Yuta said lightly, letting Ed Quite unexpectedly, "If it weren't for Duel Monsters helping me earn enough money to buy a fishing boat, I wouldn't even want to use my deck. Weird, huh?"

Ed nodded: "But why."

"Well, because my deck symbolizes the sea, and my father happened to disappear after going to sea." Kajiki Yuta shrugged, "So using my cards, which symbolize the sea, to duel, isn't it like... Are you asking me to recall my father’s disappearance again and again?”

"But, after a long time, I have thought about it myself. The man of the sea cannot blame the innocent cards for the misery in reality. And maybe there are miracles in the world? My father may still be fighting the sea, Maybe one day I will charge against the waves. I also realized during the duels again and again that I actually enjoyed using the sea's card duels. This feeling as if I was conquering the sea. Gradually, I also I fell in love with dueling.”

After a pause, Kajiki Yuta looked at Ed: "Ah, I seem to have accidentally strayed off topic? What did you just ask me?"

Looking at Kajiki Yuta, who also lost his father when he was young and also became associated with duel monsters, Ed felt the existence called "destiny" and couldn't help but think of himself.

Kajiki Yuta, who was full of rejection of cards at first, but unknowingly formed a deep bond with them; and Kajiki Yuta, who was full of love for the "hero" themed cards created by his father at first, but later became obsessed with them because of his father's death. When looking at [D·hero], I gradually add a layer of filter to myself.

[D·hero] Perhaps he is not a hero bound by fate and suppressed by chains, but a hero who fights against fate and changes.

Shaking his head and putting his thoughts aside for the time being, Ed asked again after hearing Kajimu Yuta's words: "I mean, why are you willing to come here to be a 'security officer'?"

Glancing at Ed, Yuta Kajiki said with a slightly sour tone: "Actually, at the beginning, I wanted to refuse, because I also wanted to win the World Championship. I obviously had such a good opportunity last year but you missed it. But Hayato Kobayashi said that he asked the International Illusion Society’s card design department to create a new set of ocean-related cards as my reward.”

"You want to hire me to be a bully with a duel monster card? This is an insult to me!" After a pause, a smile appeared on Kajimu Yuta's dark face, "But he gave me too much."
