In another world line, the Black Scorpion Thieves successfully infiltrated the Duel Academy as school doctors, security guards, administrators, and students. After the "Seven Stars" began their operation, Zarug also entered the academy openly as a "Police Department"
, leading the excavation team into action.
Then, they failed because they violated a taboo, which was "trying to avoid playing cards and solving problems in other ways." Even if they later played cards with Wan Zhangmu again, it was useless, and they were defeated in the end——
Then he joined the harem of thousands of elves that disturbed his sleep.
And the reason why they failed to successfully infiltrate the Duel Academy in this world is also very simple. After all, compared to the original, Kaiba is more concerned about cultivating the future Judai, a first-class duelist who can defeat him. The duel academy is strict in all aspects.
There are many, basically every employment file needs to be checked by someone above the dean level.
Generally speaking, Samejima and Kuronos would be responsible for these things, but by chance, Hayato happened to see a school doctor recruitment file submitted by Teacher Ayukawa Emi, and he noticed that Mina is also known as [Black Scorpion]
-Mina of Thorns], and also found files submitted by three other people from various departments at the same time.
He vetoed the admission of these four people with one vote, using his supreme privilege as the principal. Originally, Hayato thought he would be criticized by the teachers, but the group of people made up their own minds, "There must be consequences for what Principal Hayato did."
What’s the profound meaning?” Everyone agreed with his decision.
Hayato also didn't expect that the failure of the Black Scorpion Digging Group to infiltrate the Duel Academy would lead to them getting involved with the people of "New Gurus": "You said selling cards, is this store's supplier a 'New Gurus'?
"
"No, no, even I know that the issuance of duel monster cards is completely controlled by the International Illusion Society. Although I don't know how 'New Gurus' does it, my 'Black Scorpion Cards'
But he passed the assessment of the International Illusion Society in a serious manner and obtained the qualification to supply and sell cards."
Zarug said, smiling mysteriously, "The 'New Gurus' thing I sell is something else."
"If you keep trying to keep it secret, Lazhi Mian will be hungry~"
"Where did you copy that incomprehensible name? Hey! I know, I know, it's that one. Didn't you see it in the store too?" I saw Hayato behind him, as if a substitute was about to release a substitute.
When the sun came on, Zarug said quickly.
And Hayato also realized what he was talking about: "Those rare cards at a discount? Are they provided by 'New Gurus'?"
This was somewhat beyond Hayato's expectation. He learned from Malik that the main source of funds for Gurus he founded in the past was to snatch cards and put them on the black market to sell them at high prices. Sometimes there were extremely high bounties on the black market.
Start hunting for special rare cards.
At the same time, the funds earned are used to develop various technologies, and even create fake cards that can fool the duel board verification, and even create fake cards that retain a trace of God's power. It's just because Lishid was in the top eight before
He was defeated by Hayato, so that the fake card [Pull] ended up only being used in internal experiments and never appeared in the outside world.
You ask, if the funds are used to make fake cards, don’t the employees under him have any money? [Millennium Scepter] Understand, there are people in Gurus who have left the mark of Malik so that he can control their will and control their life and death at any time.
, who cares about money when his life is gone? It would be nice to have enough money for food and drink to survive.
And what if you dare to passively sabotage Malik's tasks in Gurus? You don't dare to do it with people. Those who are worthless will be "optimized". Even, like some people whose will has been permanently erased by Malik as "
Those who use it as "dolls" are already enjoying blessings.
This is why, after Malik announced the disbandment of Gurus, those people showed no nostalgia at all, and after the Mask of Light and Darkness switched to New Gurus, they had no respect for Malik and kept saying "that bastard". In fact, Guru
It is completely a criminal organization forcibly fabricated by Malik out of fear. The only thing that maintains its existence is Malik's terror and power.
But "New Gurus" is doing the same thing as Gurus, who is also doing this kind of money-losing thing. Obviously the situation is completely different. Gurus can invest heavily in technology research and development because Malik only needs to satisfy his own needs.
Money is enough to spend, but why would New Gurus sell cards at low prices for charity?
This kind of thing might be possible for a large enterprise like the International Illusion Society or the Kaiba Group.
"Those cards are all rare cards, and there are no cards that are simply rare and good-looking but not strong enough. 'New Gurus' only sent people to deliver the cards to me, and never told me.
Where did the cards come from?" After a pause, Zarug continued, "But we can more or less guess the origin of these cards. Nine times out of ten, they were stolen from other people by gambling cards."
Zarug looked at Hayato, fearing that he would be angry and excited after hearing someone's bad behavior of snatching other people's decks after a duel, which would harm him, but he didn't expect Hayato to actually nodded calmly: "The people of New Gurus
Even if I win the card game, I only get one card. They are so nice, but I have already pulled out all the cards from the deck and the duel plate."
"You're a bit too extreme." Zarug, the leader of the Black Scorpion Pirates and Excavation Group, looked at Hayato and complained, but he just thought about it in his heart and didn't dare to say it. "In short, since we are running this store, we don't have to
I can't refuse the free supply of goods that comes to my door, and sell the cards at a low price according to the requirements and pricing there."
The more information Zarug revealed, the more confused Hayato became. The rare cards of Black Scorpion Cards were actually free. Was the request to sell them at low prices made by New Gurus? Could it be that they were really doing charity?
Then again, I don’t know what they are trying to do. They deliberately plunder cards from various places, but in the end they just want to get these card stores to sell them at low prices and let people buy them. The meaning is unclear, and it depends on their own strength and
There will be no change in the funds. It is a thankless task, and the final result is only to make those who have the cards taken away become weaker, while those in Tongshino Market who bought the rare cards become slightly stronger.
Hmm? It seems a little...
When Hayato thought of this, he couldn't help but rub his temples. He always felt that there was still a layer of window paper before he could figure something out, but he still felt that he still lacked the last necessary push to break through.
"Let's forget about those troublesome things later. I have one last question." Hayato looked at Zarug curiously, "It's not wrong that you should be the card spirit of Duel Monsters, right? However, even if an ordinary spirit is fighting against
It takes a long time to materialize under the resonance of duelists. You are just alone and don't have special powers like [Blue Eyes White Dragon], so how can you materialize for so long?"
"First of all, I need to correct one thing, that is, it is not me alone, but five of us. This is the Black Scorpion-" Subconsciously, Zarug was about to make that stupid move, but halfway through, he suddenly realized that his companions were still there.
Since I couldn't come over to pose together in the store, I smiled awkwardly and said, "The five of us were indeed card elves with chaotic consciousness and unawakened consciousness at the beginning. We have always existed only as cards."
"But one day, we got a God-given opportunity. A very powerful dark force came to the five of us, successfully awakening our consciousness to the state of elves awakening, but at that time we
In other words, the spirit awakens, but there is no way to move its own card."
"When we woke up, we were in this underground warehouse. I don't know what happened. This place has been abandoned for a long time, and the few of us have been locked up here without seeing the light. In such a lonely environment, we awakened our will.
Staying awake is torture."
"So, we finally decided to fight to get out of this predicament. My partners concentrated all their dark powers on me, pushing me to awaken to a higher level and become able to interfere with reality. Even
My eyepatch has also changed due to the influence of dark magic."
"At the same time, I also felt that there seemed to be a similar magic power that was being transmitted to us along my blindfold. With the help of that power, we grew rapidly, and finally became a collective entity.
Transformation, existing in the world like human beings."
Touching the concave and convex Eye of Ugato pattern on the eyepatch of his right eye, Zarug said, "The only flaw is that our existence relies on this eyepatch and the power vaguely connected to it. Without it, we
I’m afraid it will soon turn back into an ordinary elf that cannot be materialized.”
"The reward given by the customer who hires us is that he will help us find the source of the power connected to it."
After listening to Zarug's words in silence, Hayato looked strange. For a long time, he put his hand into his arms as a cover, and found something from the system warehouse that had been backlogged for a long time and was almost forgotten: "I miss yours.
I'm afraid the employer won't be able to help you find what you want, because it seems to be right here with me."
"You said you were born in this underground warehouse, so you opened a store here? I think I know a lot about your birth."
The thing in Hayato's hand was none other than an eyepatch that was exactly the same as the one worn by Zarug. He also suddenly remembered that when he and Kaiba raided Gurus' stronghold before the opening of Duel City, he had taken the [Millennium] by the way.
Eye] The last dark magic power left in his body was squeezed out to create this eye patch called [Eye of Darkness].
Zarug and the [Black Scorpion Digging Group] are probably not the card elves awakened by the remaining magic power at that time!
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. When Hayato was having a "friendly exchange" with the Black Scorpion Digging Group in Doushiye Market, something minor happened at Duel Academy.
"Yushidai Judai, can you please repeat the school's relevant regulations for the old school building?" In front of Judai and several others, an adult woman wearing a green uniform that did not correspond to any dormitory in the school said loudly.
Judai looked embarrassed when he heard the words of the lady in front of him. He couldn't even answer all the theoretical knowledge about Duel Monsters, so it would be too embarrassing for him to memorize school rules and so on.
He cast his rescue eyes on Sho Marufuji, who was not far behind him, but his grades were worse than Judai, let alone what it meant to memorize the school rules.
At this moment, a male voice said: "Page 183 of the "Freshman Handbook", regarding the regulations on 'dangerous! No entry' areas on campus, the abandonment of old school buildings is the third item, and the fourth item is
This section clearly stipulates that any student who enters the old school building without permission will be given a serious warning or expelled from school depending on the seriousness of the case."
Judai heard the words and looked at the speaker with grateful eyes: "As expected of you, No. 3, your profound knowledge is really reassuring. Great, I'm saved!"
"I would be happier if you could call me by my name normally." After hearing Judai's words, Misawa sighed and comforted himself that at least Judai was just using a code name, unlike others who always called him by the wrong name.
name, which in turn spread rumors that his name was always changing.
Looking at Judai with a happy face, the woman frowned and said, "Did you misunderstand something, Yujo Judai, this is not a question in class, but a special investigation of you."
"Because Hayato said he can't come back to school for the time being, and he has important things to do, and he can't communicate via video call. For the time being, Mr. Samejima, the vice-principal, will act as the principal, and I, Cronos de' Medici, will serve as the teacher representative at the school.
." Beside the woman, Professor Kuronos introduced the situation, "And this is Miss Nakao Yuki, the representative sent by the Duel Academy Council."
"Principal, teacher, do you still have three members of the board of directors?" Misawa glanced at the three people in the three separate offices. It was obvious that Yuki Nakao, who represented the board of directors, was in charge. In fact, she was the main one.
Ask questions and investigate.
"Question: Yujo Judai, did you enter the abandoned old school building late last night without any permission?" As soon as it came up, Nakao Yukihiro immediately asked a sharp question, going straight to the root of the problem.
, I want Judai to directly admit whether he violated school rules.
Although Judai didn't understand too many twists and turns, he was straightforward and wouldn't lie. He immediately replied: "That's right."
"But Judai was trying to save someone from someone else——"
Hearing Judai admit the trap issue, Asuka behind him immediately became a little anxious and said quickly, but before he could say a few words, he was interrupted by Nakao Yuki: "Keep quiet, fellow jurors, this is not a noisy place.
canteen!"
After warning Asuka to keep quiet, Nakao Yuki looked at Judai again and asked: "But since some of the jurors said that you had a reason for the incident, please explain the reason for your trespassing into the old school building, Yujo Judai."
Judai nodded and said honestly: "Because a guy named 'Titan' kidnapped Asuka in a sneak attack, and also kidnapped Xiangya who discovered him. Thanks to Misawa, who was not discovered by him, he informed me, so I rushed there specially.
The old school building is here to save people."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is the difference between poor students and top students. No, compared to you, Judai, who acted recklessly, classmate Izarel came to contact the school immediately." After hearing Judai's words, Kuro
North immediately scolded Judai and praised Misawa. However, Misawa was not happy at all when his name was mispronounced again.
Glancing at Chronos, who seemed to have a conflict with Judai, Nakao Yuki raised an eyebrow: "So it's obvious that not all students don't know the school rules. Compared with Yujo Judai who broke into the old school building, Erji
Then Tian Kong knows that students are not allowed to enter the old school building without permission, and knows to notify the school in time."
"Then the next question is, you said someone kidnapped your classmate, but when the teachers at the school arrived they didn't find the person who kidnapped the student?"
"Because that guy was trying to make a show of his duel with me, using hypnotic gas to deceive people into saying it was a dark game. When he wanted to escape in the middle of the duel, he accidentally activated the real dark game, and disappeared into the darkness after losing to me.
Already."
Judai said calmly, and Nakao Yuki also smiled: "In other words, there is no evidence? Don't count on your classmates. There is a possibility of perjury in their relationship with you, and a large number of psychedelic drugs were detected at the scene.
The gas also renders their testimony invalid."
"I think it's enough to ask so many questions. The investigation of this matter has ended. It's time to characterize the incident and decide the outcome." Yuki Nakao said, "Yujo Judai broke into an abandoned old school building that is strictly prohibited.
, and no one can prove whether the 'kidnapper' he said actually exists. According to school regulations, I think he should be expelled from school."
"If you agree, please show your hands to vote."
As he spoke, Nakao Yuki turned his head and saw that Samejima had no intention of raising his hand.
This was not beyond her expectation. The board of directors had long known that the character of Vice Principal Samejima Iemitsu was that of a standard good gentleman. He also had hope and confidence in every student and would never agree to drop out of school and give up.
student's.
But it doesn’t matter. Two votes are greater than one. Although it’s unclear why the chairman asked for this matter to be dealt with seriously, this student named Yujo Judai has decided to drop out of school. After all, besides me, another teacher representative seems to be related to
He had some faults. According to the investigation, he seemed to have defeated the ugly professor in public and embarrassed him.
With this thought in mind, when Yuki Nakao turned his head and looked to the other side, he found that Chronos did not raise his hand.
"I think we should give Yucheng-san a chance. Although there is no evidence, I don't think he will lie."
"It would be a disgrace to Duel Academy if such a poor student drops out of school. If he is not educated properly, I don't agree to let him drop out of school so easily~"
"Oh oh oh, two votes to one, but two votes not to drop out of school!" Sho Marufuji said excitedly in the jury box, very happy for Judai, "This way, the eldest brother doesn't have to drop out of school!"
"Great!" Asuka also looked very happy.
However, Misawa did not know how to read the atmosphere and poured cold water on him: "Although the voting results are like this, the seventh item on page 211 of the "Freshman Handbook" about student punishment is mentioned, and the vote was not unanimous.
If the penalty of expulsion is rejected, the voters can propose another penalty, which is——"
"In this case, just use that one. It's the 'best way for duelists to solve problems' specially stipulated by the founder of Duel Academy, Mr. Seto Kaiba." Nakao looked at Judai who was not successfully expelled from the school in the vote.
Yuki glared at Chronos, and then said, "The council will choose the opponent to duel with the students."
"That is, 'sanctional duel'!"
