For the finals of the representative selection, all the teachers and students in the school who had free time gathered at the academy's duel arena. Many students rushed to the arena without even eating lunch, just to get a front-row seat with a good view.
As Judai's younger brother, Marufuji Sho was naturally extremely motivated to rush over and grab a front-row seat. To his surprise, Asuka-san came just as early – and even happened to sit next to him.
"Sho, what's going on with you?" Asuka saw Sho looking like a ghost with two dark circles under his eyes. He looked as if someone had punched him on both sides – even symmetrical.
"Because of my mentor." Sho looked like he was crying, "My mentor is simply a devil! He doesn't eat or sleep, he won't let me sleep! Last night, he gave me extra training until the clock turned midnight and then let me go back to sleep…"
His mentor was Native Noragami. Brother Noragami was very unhappy that he was assigned to such an unlucky "UR" student. Every time his good brother Fae held his student's trumpet in front of him, he felt as if he was shorter than his friend.
Native Noragami had never been weaker than Brother Zai Jie, but the student assigned this time was not as good as Brother Fae, and his student's actual combat performance was not as good as Brother Fae's. The key was that the student's character was not even comparable. In short, his student was crushed in all aspects!
Brother Noragami, who hated failure, immediately worked overtime to formulate a training plan from hell for his students, then worked overtime to urge Marufuji Sho to study.
Poor Sho was tortured by his tutor all night long, and he felt as if his body had been hollowed out.
"That's it." Asuka expressed sympathy, "It's so pitiful."
"How about your mentor, Asuka?""My mentor?"
Asuka thought about Coke Sprite.
Sister Sprite and the entire Hanoi Knights guild behind her were very fond of Asuka as their apprentice. Since then, their entire guild has been working day and night, and President Sandbag has made one microtransaction after another, sparing no effort to buy cards to strengthen their precious disciple's deck.
And since the last time she witnessed her mentor's dueling skills, killing two legendary duelists in two seconds in two rounds (let's count the Labyrinth Brothers in this category), Asuka had gained a great admiration for this mentor.
In addition, Coke Sprite usually put forward a lot of optimization ideas for her deck construction and proposed many new card-playing concepts that Asuka had never heard of or thought of. Now in the mind of the girl, Coke Sprite had become an expert professor who was friendly, approachable, and very considerate of students.
The girl's respect for her mentor almost overflowed from her swollen chest.
Of course, in order not to irritate Sho, she still couldn't say this directly. So she just said: "She… is okay, she is easy to talk to."
"Misawa said the same thing. Why do I feel that other mentors are so easy to talk to…" Marufuji Sho was helpless, "It's over, it's over, I don't think I can survive the next three years… ..”
Asuka smiled bitterly: "It's not that exaggerated…"
Finally, it's time for the finals.
As the finalists, Judai and Manjome entered the stage from different contestant channels on the left and right respectively.
Sho glanced past the podium and almost screamed when he saw the person sitting next to Principal Samejima.
"That's… Mr. Kaiba!?"
Asuka followed his gaze and was surprised to find that it seemed to be true.
That Seto Kaiba…actually came all the way to watch this duel?
But this is just the finals of the school selection! In contrast, shouldn't Mr. President be more concerned about the friendly match with Northern Academy?
Or is there something special about this duel?
The seating arrangement at the rostrum was also particularly interesting. Principal Samejima and Professor Chronos, the two actual leaders of academy affairs, sat in the middle two seats, with Yuei Vu and Kaiba sandwiching them on the left and right.
This was really hard on the principal and the professor.
Before the cards were played, the two of them felt President Kaiba's cold gaze coming from beside them, as if it was about to cut the person into pieces. It felt like an invisible steel knife was scratching coldly on their bodies.
Of course, they knew clearly that the object of President Kaiba's attention was Yuei Vu, who was sitting on the other side of them, but the pressure from a big shot like the president, even just the aftermath, was a bit overwhelming.
But the other big boss next to them acted like a normal person, acting as if he didn't notice the president's unkind gaze at all…or maybe he was simply used to it.
Professor Chronos was restless, and his forehead began to sweat before the fight started. From time to time, he took out his lace handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
At the same time, he couldn't help but admire the Duel King next to him more and more – he could completely ignore the president's murderous gaze all day long. As expected, the Duel King's ability to withstand a murderous aura was extraordinary.
Kaiba still didn't tell Yuei Vu that the Obelisk Blue student on the field was his apprentice.
He will wait until Judai is defeated by Manjome in front of everyone's attention, and then reveal this fact to Yuei Vu with a victor's attitude——
——The one who trampled you under my feet was none other than me!
Of course, Yuei Vu already knew about the relationship between Manjome and Kaiba, and he also knew about Kaiba's thoughts. It's just that the president didn't take the initiative to say it, so he didn't mention it.
If it was exposed now, how embarrassed would the president be if Manjome lost later?
As a model employee who always considered the benefit of his boss, Yuei Vu knew what to say and what not to say.
What? What if Manjome wins?
Yuei Vu said that he generally didn’t consider small probability events…
Who was Judai?
He was an amalgamation of classic protagonist templates from all kinds of novels. He was the reincarnation of the "Supreme King", the most powerful lord of the dimension in ancient times, who lost all his cultivation and had to re-cultivate from the beginning. He had a "grandpa-type" golden finger named Yubel. He had a "natural card physique" with a rare talent for divine drawing since he was a child. His teacher was Yuei Vu, a modern Duel King, the top big shot of the world, who gave him step-by-step guidance…
Compared to him, Manjome was just a genius with extraordinary talents and a perfect fit with the Duel Elves. How can he compete with Judai?
Yuei Vu: Besides, I have been training this clone account for six years. President, you have only been training your clone account for one or two years. Logically, you can't beat me in terms of experience and level, right?
But even though he thought so in his heart, Yuei Vu didn't say it aloud, so as not to dampen the president's enthusiasm. He thought it would be good for the president to devote more energy to guiding students, so that he would not have to think about how to find excuses to catch him playing cards when he had free time all day long…
Both masters and Manjome knew the meaning behind this duel. Only Judai was ignorant and didn't know anything. He stood on the field and still smiled at Manjome: "Let's have a fun duel together, Manjome!”
"Humph↓."
Manjome rolled his eyes at him and did not answer.
"Duel! X2"
