In just a few minutes, a group of onlookers, teachers, and students… and a group of screwballs living in the forest, had heard the news and came to the coast of Duel Academy.
The fog on the sea was thick, like a large and transparent veil that separated the sea and the island. It was like a red carpet soaked in blood that spread out along the waves, flattening out strangely on the undulating sea.
The vampire walked gracefully on the red carpet on the sea with long white legs, like a noble lady who came out of the Middle Ages.
The onlookers were the first to lose their control, and a group of screwballs had already begun to scream.
"Good guy, this is too big!"
"I just want to know, if I win the Shadow Game, can I do anything I want?"
However, there were actually some screwballs calling on everyone to stay calm.
"That's a vampire! An old witch who has lived for who knows how many years!"
"It looks very big and enjoyable. Maybe it's already busy with traffic?"
"Good guy, sooner or later the dictionary will be made into an 18+ book by you guys…"Shadow Game – especially a Shadow Game with a pretty girl, obviously attracted the screwball players. Some players have even begun to try to negotiate terms with the opponent, saying that playing cards was meaningless, why didn't she skip this step and just suck them up…
It's a pity that Camula was not interested in these off-line screwballs.
Their appearance was ordinary and their nerves were still out of whack. At first glance, nobody looked like a serious duelist.
Not her cup of tea.
As a veteran in the late stage of lookism, Camula said that she also has to choose good-looking ones to play cards!
So she directly named Ryo Marufuji in the crowd and said it was him whom she wanted to fight with!
Just as Ryo Marufuji was about to agree, he saw a figure cut out of the crowd and stood between him and Camula.
Ryo Marufuji took a closer look and couldn't help but be surprised: "Sho?"
Isn't this my younger brother Marufuji Sho who has bad grades and is equally bad at playing cards?
Camula couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the dwarf that suddenly appeared.
What's going on? A hero or an idiot?
It was just that she was disgusted by Marufuji Sho's short, rounded figure, which was not in line with the female vampire's taste.
In short, an ugly boy in her eyes.
So she decided to give the other party a chance to change, and said with a smile: "Are you serious, little brother? The souls of those who lose in the Shadow Game will be buried, do you know that?"
Shoto Marufuji was already timid, but he became even more timid after being frightened like this.
In fact, he didn't come back to his senses at all. One second he was standing next to his mentor, Brother Noragami, and the next second when he came back to his senses, he was already facing the vampire.
He turned around timidly, only to see his mentor winking at him crazily and giving him a thumbs up, as if to say "I believe you can do it"!
"Sho, get away quickly." Ryo Marufuji stepped forward, "This is not the place you should be. Leave this place to me…"
Marufuji Sho took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
"No, brother," he said, "This time… please let me come this time."
"Sho?" Ryo Marufuji looked at his younger brother in surprise as if he had discovered a side of him that he had never seen before.
Marufuji Sho took another deep breath.
Yes, he was indeed afraid, extremely afraid.
He was naturally timid, and his dueling skills were not very good to begin with. If he was frightened like this, his strength may be even less good.
But even so, he couldn't just hide behind his brother forever.
The devilish training his mentor gave him these days not only trained his skills and abilities but also changed his mind.
In fact, he has always understood that he was too weak compared to his dazzling brother, so weak that it was even a bit funny. He was a disgrace. Even if he stood side by side with his brother, no one would believe that they were related by blood.
"You are the worst student I have ever had!" This was what his tutor often said, often accompanied by a sigh of disappointment.
But his mentor didn't just say that.
"But, it doesn't matter if you don't have talent. As long as you are willing to learn, I can make you a legend even if you are just a bastard!" Native Noragami once said.
Sho Marufuji was confused at the time: "…What?"
"Don't understand? Oh, that's not important. In short, you'll become very good." said Native Noragami. "Have you ever heard of the saying? Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."
"I understand." Sho Marufuji nodded, "That is to say, hard work is more important than talent!"
"No, it means that without 1% inspiration, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain!"
Sho Marufuji: "…"
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen a teacher who fed his student poisonous chicken soup for the soul…
Then Native Noragami slapped him on the head.
"Don't worry, although you are useless, your teacher is full of inspiration!"
As Brother Noragami said this, he quickly crossed his arms for a moment and almost made himself proud.
"Oh…oh." Sho Marufuji continued to nod confusedly.
"In short, as long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I guarantee you will succeed! But before I say it, this road will not be easy." Native Noragami said seriously, "You don't want to be a useless person who holds your elder brother and your Aniki back all the time. Understand?"
Sho gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.
"Okay! As long as you have ambitions!" Native Noragami showed a rare expression of "a good child can be taught", "Then I have a Duel Puzzle here, you must solve it first. If you can't solve it, you don't have to go back to sleep today."
Sho Marufuji: "…"
…
Although the experience of training with the mentor was not very pleasant, and he was often exhausted and felt like his body was hollowed out… it did awaken something buried deep in the young man's heart.
Yes, why does he have to be the tail end?
He has received a lot of training and may have worked harder than anyone this semester.
Maybe what he lacked now was not strength, but the courage to change.
If I don't even dare to take steps in the face of danger, and still just hide behind my brother, then how can I change?
Thinking of this, his tone became firmer.
"Brother." He adjusted his glasses and looked at his brother firmly, "This time… please let me come!"
For the first time, Ryo Marufuji discovered that he saw something he had never seen before in the eyes of his cowardly brother.
"……I see."
He crossed his arms and retreated into the crowd.
Camura originally rejected Marufuji Sho, but when she heard from the conversation that he and Marufuji Ryo were brothers, she suddenly changed her mind.
Ha? Are these two brothers?
Is this a genetic mutation, or is the dirty old man next door taking advantage of the situation?
But this gave Camula new ideas.
Knock down this younger brother first, and the elder brother will definitely not stand idly by.
And the older brother looks like a strong character. If I capture this little brother's soul first and use him as a hostage, the older brother will be confused if he cares about him, and I will have a greater chance of winning if he is motivated!
Ha, I'm so witty!
"Okay, since you long for darkness so much, then I will grant it to you." The vampire stuck out his tongue and licked her bright red lips, sneering.
"Duel!" x2
