Chapter 102: On why the tactical test deck is a god
Hayato's concise and concise "speech" was instantly warmly welcomed by the students in the audience after being sharply contrasted by Professor Kuronos.
Several school staff removed the podium, freeing up the central duel venue. At the same time, a 360-degree surround display device composed of several curved screens was hung from the ceiling. The top eight students were displayed one after another on it.
It was thrown out, but for the time being it was just a dark silhouette.
As the podium was moved off the stage, Professor Kuronos picked up the microphone again and tried to act as a commentator again: "Then the next task will be presided over by the top person in charge of practical training at Duel Academy, Kuronos de...
Medici will take charge."
"After a month of selection and elimination, a total of eight people finally entered the formal competition. Next, the contestants whose names were called will be invited to come on stage." After a pause, Professor Kronos called out the first name, "
Eighth place, second grade, Obelisk Lan’s Tianshangyuan Fuxue!”
"Qiang~"
Holding a ukulele in his hand, Fubuki was not wearing a school uniform, but a beach short-sleeved shirt, not looking like a student at all. He stood up from his seat, strummed the ukulele, and gracefully walked around like a big star.
The students introduced themselves: “Look up, what can you see?”
"sky--"
He wanted to show off his handsome face and shout out his signature line "10——Join~", but before Fubuki could even start his movements, he was slapped by teacher Emi Ayukawa who came to him with a black face.
Dragging away from the scene: "I should have told you that you need to take good care of your health, Tenjoyuan-san? So can you explain why you are wearing short sleeves in this weather?"
"Wait, wait a minute, Emi-chan, I specially chose this outfit to best express my temperament for my first appearance after returning to the academy. A little bit of cold air is nothing." Fubuki struggled, "My
Your image as a senior is going to be ruined."
"You don't have that kind of thing! Go and change your clothes into school uniforms!"
"Hey! Asuka, save me!"
"Brother? (No concern)" looked calmly at Fubuki being dragged away from the scene. Asuka pretended not to recognize him, secretly praying that others would not associate him with herself.
He had obviously disappeared once and had fallen into darkness in the past. Why did Fubuki still look so out of character after he woke up? It was a shame that he had tried so hard to duel with someone a while ago - even though Fubuki met him by chance in the academy.
When the beautiful school girl struck up a conversation with him, I thought he had changed a lot.
Wait a minute, the reason why Fubuki works so hard is because he just wants to shine in the academy exchange competition like just now, right?
Thinking of this, Asuka helplessly covered her forehead. Almost in sync with Asuka's movements, a blond girl not far from her also helplessly covered her forehead because of Fubuki's movements.
Subconsciously, both sides looked at each other because of the other's actions that were completely consistent with their own. Asuka's eyes crossed with that of the blonde girl.
It was an accident that Fubuki was dragged away, and Professor Kuronos continued to call the names of the finalists: "Ahem, Fubuki-san will be back later, so I will continue."
"Next is the sixth-place finisher in the qualifiers, a third-year exchange student from Western Branch—Rikki Mackenzie!"
"Then there is the tied sixth place, first grader, Tenjoin Asuka-san from Obelisk Blue Dormitory!"
Asuka and the girl who looked at her, Rikki Mackenzie, stood up at the same time. They simply responded to the looks cast by the students around them, but they both frowned, obviously concerned about their final results.
They were surprised to be so close to the dead line. In their estimation, they could at least be in the top five, but in the end they were ranked sixth, or even tied for sixth.
Mizuki glanced at Asuka again, narrowed her eyes, and thought to herself: 'Is she actually Fubuki Tenjoin's sister? There were a few moments, but the elimination round is not enough to show the duelist's full strength.'
"I won't lose until I face Fubuki!"
Asuka didn't understand why Riki's eyes were inexplicably full of fighting intent when she looked at her. She had only heard of the other party's name before Professor Cronos reported her name but did not recognize him. She had never fought before.
Although she didn't talk to him, it didn't stop her from looking back with the same firm eyes.
Tied for sixth place was not the result she wanted. Let's not guess what other masters were ahead. At least this woman had to prove that she was stronger than the opponent. Otherwise, how could she keep up with Judai...
Are there any footsteps from other students?
"The fifth place is the same first-year Sun God-Huang Dormitory, Misawa Hai, Dadi."
"I want to say Misawa Ocean! How come the pronunciations of earth and ocean are so close that it's so easy for you to mispronounce it!" With an aggrieved expression on his face, Misawa couldn't help but complain aloud as soon as he stood up.
"Ah, sir, I don't know." Professor Kronos pretended to be dumbfounded, forced himself to pass, and continued to sign up.
In the audience, Marufuji Sho said curiously: "Asuka-san and Fifty-fold students are also shortlisted for the top eight, but are they all ranked outside the top four? The competition is so fierce."
"Caesar can be counted as one, and my ranking as of last night was second, and Wan Zhangmu seemed to be third right behind me." Judai crossed his fingers, "Originally, the next four luck...
...No.3 seems to be ranked behind Wan Zhangmu, but has he been surpassed by others?"
"Huh?" Looking at the names of the contestants that followed, even Professor Kronos paused in surprise. He looked twice to avoid seeing it wrong. After confirming that it was correct, although he was still a little confused, he
He still spoke, "The next fourth contestant is a first-year student from the Obelisk Lan dormitory, Na Nuo Nie, a classmate with a bright eye!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Don't add your weird mouth habit after my name, Mr. Kuronos!" Wan Zhangmu stood up with a dark face and protested.
He said, "If you want to call me, call me Mr. Wan Zhangmu!"
"However, I am actually fourth? How is this possible!"
"Lightning? It sounds like a very arrogant name. Is he actually a kid?"
At the same time as Wan Zhang Mu's words fell, not far from the row in front of him, a stout man turned back and glanced at Wan Zhang Mu Dao with disdain.
He clenched his fists in displeasure, and Wan Zhangmu stared at the big man with fierce eyes: "It's Mr. Wan Zhangmu! Is there anything wrong with calling me Mr. Wan Zhangmu!"
"After all, what qualifications do you have to be so arrogant?"
When the big man heard Wan Zhangmu's words, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Qualifications? Of course my qualifications are -"
Professor Kuronos's voice sounded at the same time: "Then the third place, the third-year student from the Northern Branch, Edogawa Yuri-san."
As the silhouette of the third place player lit up on the display above the central duel arena, the arrogantly provocative big man stood up and said the second half of his sentence: "——My ranking when I was shortlisted,
I still want to be above you!"
"That guy is actually ranked third? Is it true?" Jushidai had an incredulous expression on his face, "He obviously doesn't feel that strong, but he is ranked higher than Wan Zhangmu?"
"Feelings, etc., is that kind of thing really accurate? And I feel that the other party looks very dangerous..." Edogawa Yuri, who looked not like a student at all, but like a gangster in society,
Sho Marufuji said weakly.
"Believe in Judai's intuition, just believe it. You don't need a reason to believe." Hayato Maeda agreed with Judai's intuition, "This is what I learned after losing to Judai more than a dozen times in playing cards.
conclusion.”
"As for rankings...after all, the knockout round only ranks everyone based on the points they got in the end, and it cannot accurately represent the strength of each selected player, just like the one in the sky that made Judai also fall into a hard battle.
Isn’t Yuan Chuiyuki only the eighth in the end?"
After a pause, Maeda smiled and said, "Besides, even if ranking can represent the level of strength, Judai is still above that person."
"The second place contestant is... Tsk, Yujo Judai, a first-year student from the Osiris Red Dormitory." When he read out Judai's name, Professor Chronos still felt a little unhappy.
In a tone of voice, he was not even willing to give Judai the same amount of time to show off as the others. Instead, he paused briefly after announcing his name, and finally shouted in an excited tone, "And what everyone is looking forward to, with the first place
The results advance to the Duel Academy’s ‘Caesar’ in the official competition!”
"Obelisk Blue, third grader Ryo Marufuji!"
After Professor Kronos called out Ryo Marufuji's name, before he even got up, the audience burst into extremely warm cheers:
"Wow! It's Caesar, Lord Caesar!"
"Lord Caesar, we love you!"
"Being able to see Lord Caesar's duel is worth the price even if you die!"
Listening to the cheers from almost the entire audience, Ryo Marufuji sighed inwardly. In fact, he was not good at dealing with this kind of scene. The longer he stayed at school, the more he missed the time when he first entered school before he was famous.
The peaceful life he lived, even though he was gradually called "Caesar" because of his outstanding abilities, at least he had Fujiwara Yusuke and Tenjoin Fubuki to help him share the burden.
After the two of them disappeared one after another, he gradually became the only "top player" in Duel Academy. He didn't want this kind of popularity at all, and Fubuki liked this kind of lively scene. If possible, he would like to do it.
His popularity has been transferred to Fubuki, but it's a pity that he can't change it.
However, even if he is not good at dealing with it, he has been in school for three years anyway. He also knows that the most appropriate reaction for him now is to keep a straight face, say nothing and do nothing, whether it is a gentle response or a strong refusal,
It will only arouse more enthusiasm. After all, no one can say how weird the XP of these fans is. There are quite a few of them who will yell at you to curse a few more words after being scolded.
Tenjoin Fubuki, who was dragged away and forced to change back into his school uniform, returned to the scene. Looking at the audience cheering for "Caesar", he whistled and said frivolously: "It's amazing how popular it is. It has become so popular in three years."
So in order to be worthy of the fans who have supported me until now, I have to show some real skills in the quarterfinals."
The names and portraits of all eight contestants have been displayed on the surround screen above the central duel field, scrolling in a loop for people to view, and Professor Kronos continued to host after the cheers subsided a little: "Eight
All the qualified players are ready, so this school year’s Duel Academy exchange competition will officially begin. The first thing to be done is the duel for the top eight to advance to the semi-finals."
"The world of Duel Monsters is very cruel. As long as one person can laugh, that's enough. The same goes for the top eight players. If you lose in a duel with your assigned opponent, there is no resurrection match.
The means Na Nuo pinch~"
Looking at the "bad student" who had mixed into the top eight - Yujo Judai, Professor Kuronos laughed sinisterly, but soon remembered that he was now hosting an exchange competition, and after a slight cough, he continued, "Then
, first let the machine select the first and second players for the first round of promotions."
The top eight avatars on the display disappeared one after another, leaving only two avatar frames still rotating, and the black silhouettes in the frames were also constantly changing. The speed of silhouette switching in the rotating avatar frames became slower and slower.
A "ding" sound sounded, and the two avatar frames locked together and lit up to reveal the selected player's avatar.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The rotating avatar frame shows the information of both players to everyone, and Professor Kuronos raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became a little unhappy:
"Are there exchange students from other branches participating in the first promotion match? However, the ones who came out were the Osiris-Red dormitory students... Ahem, anyway, since the result is like this, then I announce——"
"The first duel will be between Yujo Judai, who came in second place in the trials, and Edogawa Yuri, who came in third place in the trials!"
"Is the eldest brother the first to play? Is that okay?" Sho Marufuji stood up from his seat in the distance, because his rival students who had been lined up in the red dormitory had already started to open champagne in advance, shouting "Never before"
Edogawa wandered away, saying strange things like "Having such a wonderful start", looked at Judai worriedly and said, "Although brother, you said that you intuitively feel that person is not very strong, but there shouldn't be something like capsizing in the gutter, right?"
?Don’t be careless, after all, the other party is also the third place in the trial."
"Don't worry, Xiang, it will be over soon." Judai chuckled, stood up from his seat and walked towards the central duel arena.
Wan Zhang looked at Edogawa Yuri who was walking arrogantly towards the duel, then looked at Judai who was not far away, stood up and shouted: "Hey, Yujo Judai!"
"I will settle the score with you after you took away my opportunity to teach this guy a lesson. But since you have taken my place, Mr. Wan Zhangmu, then give me something to show in the duel to let that country bumpkin know that the sky is high and the sky is high!"
When Judai heard Wan Zhangmu's words, he turned around and smiled, waving his hands to show that he understood.
Walking to the central duel arena, Edogawa Yuli looked at Judai and said happily: "It's not in vain that I mobilized the subordinates I brought to work hard to improve my ranking. As expected, those who rank higher will really have good luck."
"Among the top eight contestants, there was actually an inferior student from the red dormitory. If my ranking was lower, maybe that arrogant kid would have dueled with you, right? But now that I have successfully picked up the missed one, I feel really good.
joy."
"There has never been such a wonderful start, cheer for me, cheer for me!" As he spoke, Edogawa Yuli didn't take Judai to heart at all, and turned around confidently as if he had already won the duel.
He turned around and looked at the audience who were shouting. The exchange students who also came from the Northern Branch immediately responded to him and cheered.
"Eh~ Are you so confident?" Judai scratched his head and said strangely, "It would be great if you could really change with Wan Zhangmu, because I feel that Wan Zhangmu is indeed stronger than you.
A duel with him might be interesting."
"But uncle, although you feel a little weaker, just like Xiang said, maybe you can have an interesting duel with me?" The corners of his mouth raised a little, showing an excited smile, Judai's eyes
Youguang said, "Sa, let's duel, Uncle Edogawa."
"Uncle or something...who are you calling, brat!" Edogawa's free smile disappeared and he said gloomily, "I'm just a little older, I've just turned eighteen, you...
Poor students who are naturally annoying! Why should weaklings fight!"
"In front of my invincible 'the weak and the strong' deck, being crushed will become a stepping stone for me to advance!"
Both sides raised the academy's standard duel disk, and the signal was amplified through the duel field at their feet, and they all started to enter the duel state.
"Duel!"X2
