"I lost."
Standing at the entrance of the "Blue Eyes Hotel", Mr. Phoenix said helplessly once again before leaving.
"Mr. Yuei Vu's duel is impeccable as always. I know it may seem like I have a chance to win, but in fact, I have no chance at all, right?"
"That's not true."
Yuei Vu shrugged and pressed Judai's little jellyfish head beside him, stopping the child's restless cells from running around.
"Your ‘Vision HERO' is indeed impressive." Yuei Vu said seriously, "I believe that when they are officially released, they will be a deck of epoch-making significance.
Their birth will be an important turning point in the development of the "HERO" series, and it also means that the "HERO" deck has entered a new era. "
"It's a great honor for you to think so." Mr. Phoenix's eyes flashed.
For a designer, the greatest honor is to have his work recognized. The deck he designed can be personally recognized by the Duel King – and Yu Yu is regarded as a symbolic figure of the "Hero" series in this world. This is equivalent to a very high degree of honor and award.
"But they are not completely completed yet." Mr. Phoenix said, "What I brought today are just completed samples. I tried to combine them with the ‘Destiny HERO' I designed before, and constructed this deck. At least I think the compatibility is pretty good."After a pause, he added: "Of course, it's just my personal thought. When it comes to the ‘HERO' deck, it is true that it can only exert its greatest power in the hands of Mr. Yuei Vu.
Although it is just a sample now, if you are interested, you can take this sample first…"
Yuei Vu waved his hand: "No, no, just give me a priority purchase channel when it is officially released."
To be honest, he was not short of money. He was still willing to buy cards that could be bought with money. There was no need to take advantage of others.
…Except for President Kaiba.
To be honest, he had lost count of how many cards he had taken away from Kaiba Corp's card warehouse. Kaiba never asked, and naturally, he never took the initiative to mention it.
Anyway, the president was very wealthy and didn’t lack a few cards…
But Mr. Phoenix was quite insistent on this aspect: "Please just accept these cards first. Although they are just a few cards, they should be of great help to you."
Yuei Vu glanced at it, and what he handed over were the more common monsters of Vision HERO.
"Hey, this is so inappropriate…"
The passerby with the Yu- prefix declined and took the cards from his hand.
Mr. Phoenix smiled and stretched out his hand to gently support his glasses frame, which seemed to be about to slide down the bridge of his oily nose at any time.
"It would be great if I could help you. After all, I am just a small card designer. Apart from that, there is nothing else I can do."
Mr. Phoenix rubbed Aster's little head and said softly: "If it weren't for you, Mr. Yuei Vu, this child might not have a father now."
Little Aster was stunned, looking a little dazed. However, he quickly hugged his father's waist tightly, as if he was afraid that if he accidentally let go, the other party would slip through his fingertips.
"…Okay." Since the other party said so, Yuei Vu didn't refuse anymore (in fact, the card was already in his pocket), "Thank you very much."
"One more thing." Mr. Phoenix said, "I heard that President Kaiba is preparing to establish the World Duel League system?"
"Well…that's what happened."
Yuei Vu recalled it and seemed to remember it.
Not long ago, the president called him to the office again and said a lot about future plans for the duel field. He seemed to have mentioned the establishment of a league system.
According to his vision, the league would be played in cities around the world. Investors would purchase league seats to establish clubs and recruit outstanding duelists to compete around the world.
Of course, Yuei Vu wasn't very interested, so he didn't pay much attention. It didn't have much to do with him anyway.
He only remembered that he mentioned it to the president again, saying that he still wanted to be a teacher at the duel academy that was about to open.
This time the president didn't refuse, but he quickly took out a Duel Disk and said:
Yes, I agree, but——
——You have to ask the deck in my hand first!
Come on, Yuei↑ Vu↓, let’s duel!
Yuei Vu: "…"
Because Yuei Vu was already the Duel King, a person who stood at the top of the duel world. With his status, he usually did not participate in regular leagues.
In fact, it's not just him, Yugi was the same.
In the GX animation, Aster's adoptive father, the little thief DD who was possessed by the "Light of Destruction" and stole the Plasma card, actually claimed to have won the world championship for ten consecutive years.
Such a guy could actually win ten consecutive championships. First of all, it could only be said that "Light of Destruction" was really a bit awesome. Secondly, it also proved that Muto Yugi and even Seto Kaiba himself have not participated in this league in ten years.
Otherwise, how could this thing win the championship?
In fact, whether it was Yugi or Yuei Vu, they were now equivalent to the "Duel King for Life" in the industry. They rarely attended regular competitions anymore, and they no longer needed to accept challenges from other duelists to defend the name of Duel King.
As the first-generation Duel Kings, their appearance fees were now incredibly high. Even if well-known groups wanted to invite these two first-generation Duel Kings to participate in an event, they had to think twice.
But it was precisely because of this that Yuei Vu always felt at a loss when he thought about it.
My price is so high now, yet I'm played free by President Kaiba every time!
The president sent him messages every now and then, saying things like "The company will have some activities on that day, and you must be there."
However, he has never heard the president mention appearance fees…
He had heard for a while that Kaiba was planning to hold the second "Battle City" competition to determine the title of the new generation of Duel King. Of course, the two first-generation Duel Kings would permanently retain the title of "Duel King" and do not need to participate in new competitions.
At first, Yuei Vu thought that the president's operation was a good plan. If he excluded two people he could not beat from the competition, then wasn't this new title of Duel King already in his pocket?
Only later did Yuei Vu realize that he seemed to have wrongly blamed the president.
President Kaiba also made it clear that he would not participate in any competition for the title of Duel King again.
Not that he's lost interest in the title.
But…
"Duel King? Stop joking!" Seto Kaiba shouted sharply at that time, "Before I defeat Yuei Vu…and that guy, the title of Duel King is an insult to me!"
This was Seto Kaiba, a perfectionist.
He couldn't tolerate being given the title of "King" while having two people sitting on his head.
What's even more annoying is that that damn Yu↑ Gi↓ actually ran away after sitting on my head!
Unforgivable!
"…"
"This may be an unreasonable request. If you find it inconvenient, you can forget it." Mr. Phoenix paused, glanced at his son, and then said, "I hope… Aster can enter the professional circle."
Little Aster's eyes widened with surprise on his face.
"Oh?" Yuei Vu was surprised, "He's cute, but isn't he still young?"
"He's not that young anymore. He should be qualified in two years."
There was indeed no age limit for players in the professional league. After all, in the original work, Aster was actually only 15 years old when he appeared.
"Aster is indeed very talented in dueling. I hope Mr. Yuei Vu can take care of him when the time comes. If possible, it would be best to take Aster with you to guide him…"
Yuei Vu heard it.
Mr. Phoenix may have been a little moved when he saw that he had taken on a disciple like Judai, and wanted to give him his son…
But Yuei Vu still politely refused and only promised to take care of Aster when he entered the professional circle.
After all, taking a disciple was only time-consuming but also laborious.
Sometimes he felt tired with only Judai, a troubled boy, and he had no energy or mood to accept other students for the time being.
Speaking of which, not long ago, Chika-chan was lying on the side for a while and listened to Yuei Vu's tutoring Judai, and she actually came up to join in the fun, saying that she also wanted to be Yuei Vu's apprentice.
But Yuei Vu didn’t take her either.
Why does Chika-chan really want to learn how to play cards? Her mind was not on playing cards at all!
If I really take her in, I may get raped by my apprentice!
