Chapter 72 It’s time for the show to begin, here’s to the thunderous applause
At nine o'clock in the morning on the second day, Hayato and others came out of their respective rooms and went to the hall where the dinner was held yesterday.
After a day's rest, Hayato and the four of them have regained their energy, and the decks they used have been more or less adjusted in order to adapt to various situations that may arise in duels.
Even for the first time in Thousand-year-old City, Cards like [Tornado], which cannot directly increase attack power, were added to the deck.
As soon as they arrived in the hall, Hayato and the others found that someone was already waiting here.
"Oh, is someone finally here?" The speaker was a middle-aged uncle wearing a peaked cap. After noticing the arrival of Hayato and his group, he put aside the coffee he was holding, stood up from his seat, and took the initiative to say hello.
, "Hello, my name is Samejima Iemitsu. People who know me call me Samejima."
"Hello, Mr. Samejima." Hayato shook hands with him enthusiastically, "My name is Kobayashi Hayato, just call me Hayato."
"Hello, Hayato."
Seeing Hayato enthusiastically greeting the people he just met, Jonouchi lowered his voice and said to Honda on the side: "Hey, what do you think?"
"I think they are weird." Honda paused, "This guy Hayato isn't a very enthusiastic person, is he?"
In the hall, there was not only Samejima but also Hayato and his group who had just arrived: "Humph, it's so noisy, a bunch of boring guys."
The thief Keith leaned back on the chair and put his feet on another chair. Looking at the lively atmosphere of Hayato and the others, he shouted dissatisfied: "I saw you little brats chattering non-stop so early in the morning. I'm so annoyed."
I’m so annoyed.”
Hayato and the others didn't say anything, but Samejima said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Keith, I disturbed you."
"Humph!"
Samejima acted like a good gentleman. According to what Jonouchi and others knew about Keith, he should be arrogantly mocking Samejima and showing off his status as the United States Champion. But for some reason, he heard Samejima's words.
, Thief Keith just snorted and became quiet.
Samejima Iemitsu, if there is no accident, should be the "Samejima". Looking at the hair exposed under Samejima's hat, Hayato thought with some uncertainty.
When he heard Mai mentioning that there was a duelist using "electronic flow" among the top eight, Hayato's first reaction was that he would meet Ryo Marufuji, but he quickly rejected this.
You know, until the story of Yu-Gi-Oh GX happened in 2012, Ryo Marufuji was just 17 years old, and now it is just 2000. Even the prodigy Ryo Marufuji, who has shown extraordinary dueling abilities since childhood, is only now
Only five years old.
In this way, Hayato was reminded of Ryo Marufuji's previous generation of electronic duelists, Ryo Marufuji's teacher, and the principal of the Duel Academy - Principal Samejima. The "Samejima Iemitsu" in front of him seemed to be about three years old.
I am in my early teens, and will be forty in another ten years. Although it is a bit tragic to become bald at the age of forty, it is indeed consistent with the age of the "Principal Samejima".
"Um, Mr. Samejima?"
"Oh, what's the matter, Hayato-kun?" Samejima showed a kind smile. Like Mirai, Samejima is a very kind person, and he is very friendly to young duelists, otherwise Kaiba would not appoint him as the Duel Academy.
The principal is here.
"That hat on your head is too tight. If you wear it too much, you will easily go bald."
As soon as Hayato finished speaking, someone not far away answered: "That guy, it doesn't matter if he's bald."
Turning around, Hayato saw a guy who was walking quite arrogantly, even rivaling Keith. Beside that guy, there was a girl dressed as a maid, carrying an aluminum alloy suitcase following him.<
/p>
While walking towards Hayato, the arrogant guy's eyes were fixed on Samejima: "Samejima Iemitsu, you didn't expect it, did you? I said, don't think that defeating me once is the end, you just
Just wait for my revenge."
Hayato turned to look at Peacock Dance, and she nodded: "As I said yesterday, the eldest son of the Garam Consortium, Putah Garam. He lost to Samejima over there once."
"Huh, that's a thing of the past!" Obviously, hearing about his disgraceful record made Ptah Gallem a little embarrassed. He glared at the innocent-looking Peacock Dance on the side, Ptah didn't look back.
I walked away, and at the same time I was upset in my heart about why I was so distracted yesterday that I told the woman named Peacock Dance about myself.
Yugi silently counted the number of people present in his mind: "Mai, I, Jonouchi-kun and Hayato-kun, that's four people, as well as Mr. Samejima and the thief Keith, plus what Ptah Garam just said."
There are seven people. The last duelist should be——-'
"Oh, it's so lively. It turns out that everyone came so early." A voice suddenly appeared behind Yugi, startling him. Looking back, he saw that the man from last night's dinner came to their table in a familiar manner.
The guy was standing behind Yugi, "I thought I would be the first to arrive."
"Lemuria." Hayato frowned and read out his name that the other party reported last night.
Among the top eight players, Thief Keith is good at gambling cards and mechanical monsters, Jonouchi is also good at gambling cards, games, or king-like decks that pay attention to bonding and coordination.
Mai's deck is proficient in backfield destruction. Even if Samejima's cards are not the invincible Sebadragon, they are most likely dominated by the machine race. The only ones whose information is unclear are that of Prach Garlem and the ones in front of him.
of Lemuria.
As a duelist, Hayato's sixth sense kept telling him one thing - the Lemuria in front of him was a formidable enemy.
"Oh, Mr. Hayato, your eyes are so scary." Lemuria noticed Hayato's gaze and pretended to say, "Or are you already impatient to fight me? You are really passionate about dueling.
."
In the hall, the thieves Keith and Jonouchi who dislike each other were bickering, Samejima and Yugi were chatting about each other's understanding of duel monsters, Maura looked at her nails in boredom, and Putah took his own from the maid.
deck, and Hayato is playing "whoever blinks first loses" with that Lemuria.
"Ahem." An old voice came, and the castle's deacon appeared at the door of the hall at some point, reminding everyone of his presence, "All the duelists have arrived, so please follow me to the duel hall.
Lord Becas is waiting for you there."
Under the guidance of the old deacon, everyone followed obediently to the place where Kaiba and Becas had their duel yesterday. Just as the old deacon said, Becas was still wearing the same red suit that had not changed for thousands of years and had been waiting here for a long time. "Wele! Dear duelists~, welcome to my castle." It was old Becas who opened his mouth, "First of all, congratulations to anyone, for passing the first level of selection, becoming the top eight in the duel kingdom, and having the competition.
Qualifications for the title of 'Duel King'."
"It's just that I believe anyone has also seen that there are seven other contestants standing in front of you beside you." Bekas said with a smile on his face, "So I announced that the selection for the top eight will begin.
!"
***The author has something to say***
Principal Samejima's full name has never appeared, so I used the name of another character dubbed by the principal's voice actor - tutor Satsuna Tsuna's guitar dad Sawada Iemitsu's name to complete it (I'm tired of taking exams)
As mentioned before, the Gallem Conglomerate also appears in GX and is larger than the Wan Zhangmu Consortium. The name Ptah comes from Egyptian mythology. Some Ptah believers believe that Ptah gave birth to Ra. And Ra
, who has been fused with Amon and is the god Amon-Ra. Then it is obvious who this Ptah is, that is, the father of Amon Gallem who uses Exodia in GX (can be regarded as my DIY character
)
As for the last "Lemuria", the true identity is not revealed in the early stage. The information that can be revealed is that it comes from the DM animation, not the real name, and the deck series used contains a super famous fake card p>
