"I remember Maeda didn't go to buy duel bread... By the way, brother, you left the duel ground to chase me." After hearing Judai's words, Marufuji Sho said subconsciously, and then
Only then did he realize that the reason why Judai didn't eat the duel bread seemed to be because he ran away on his own, so he apologized somewhat depressedly, "I'm sorry, brother."
"It's okay, Sho. After Asuka and the others finished their duel, the competition for the top eight to advance to the semi-finals was over. Although it's a pity that I didn't get to eat golden egg bread, in order to celebrate my successful advancement, why not we can also eat fried shrimp and buckwheat together.
Noodles, I’ll treat you~"
"Brother, you really like fried shrimps, but in this case, wouldn't your challenge to set a higher record of eating golden egg bread consecutively this time have failed again, and that's without Principal Hayato causing trouble."
"It's really a pity. I don't know who will eat the golden egg bread today..."
"I am..."
Opening his eyes in confusion, Tenjoin Fubuki, who was awakened by the conversation around him, looked around and found that Judai and Marufuji Sho were chatting next to him, "Judai?"
"You're finally awake, Fubuki." Hearing that Fubuki woke up, Judai quickly turned around and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
With Judai's support, Fubuki, who was lying on the soft grass, sat up and rubbed his temples: "The lie is that I feel very good, but the truth is that my head feels messy, almost like drinking.
It’s like your memory is fragmented after a hangover.”
"I just remember that I was dueling with Ryo before, and then Ryo summoned [Chimeric Overload Dragon] to attack me during his turn, and then..." Speaking of this, Fubuki
He paused and covered his forehead with some discomfort.
"Apparently it's the sequelae caused by the mask that controlled Fubuki before. It took the opportunity to enter." Judai patted Fubuki on the shoulder, "Then after that, Fubuki was resurrected by using the "Fubuki".
Dragon] and strengthened its power, but at the same time it was controlled by that thing called 'Darkness'."
And Marufuji Sho continued to add: "As for the duel, although the attack power of the resurrected [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon] is equivalent to [Chimeric Overload Dragon], my brother used that [Restriction Release], but in the sky
Before you were defeated, Principal Hayato, he rushed here and stopped the duel, and even scared away the thing called 'Darkness'."
As he spoke, Sho Marufuji couldn't help but glance at Fubuki's wrist. Even though he had checked it while Fubuki was asleep, he was still surprised by the special power that Principal Hayato had shown before: "It's made by the elf."
Power, can you even do this kind of thing?"
"It's not the power of the elves that's strong, it's just Hayato-sensei. At least I, Banjomu, can't do such a thing." Judai shook his head and corrected Marufuji Sho's perception, "The most important thing about the card elves is not
The power is the soul that can resonate with us duelists. Although it is not without power, what is more important is the soul that is connected."
"Having said that, for the vast majority of people in the world, let alone resonate with the spirit of the card elves, they can't even see the existence of elves with their own eyes." If I hadn't seen the elves more than once.
existence, Shoya Marufuji found it hard to believe that there could be such a magical existence in the world as the card elves.
"Although I have attended the Principal's class on coexistence with elves more than once, I don't have that kind of potential either. Asuka seems to be the same, even Ryo. The ability to see elves resonates with the soul of the card elves.
The first step, but the threshold is so high that only one in 100 million people in the world can pass it."
Fubuki, who had recovered a little, put down the palm covering his forehead and showed a helpless smile, "So far, including you Judai, I have only seen five people with such abilities. It seems that my connections are really strong.
ah."
In addition to Judai and Manjoume, the two juniors who entered school this year, as well as Kobayashi Hayato, the fourth "elf user" Fubuki has seen is his idol Jonouchi Katsuya. He who was hospitalized not long ago finally saw it in person instead of
I saw each other through the screen.
Although I was a little embarrassed when I fainted from fright, but after hearing that everything was fine and then seeing the idol I admired coming to visit me, someone else would have had a similar reaction. It was also at that time that Fubuki vaguely felt that he was in Jonouchi.
The special power carried by the body is, not surprisingly, also the power of the card spirit, and its heaviness is by no means ordinary.
——Yes, although it sounds a bit inconsistent, Fubuki, who could not see or feel the existence of elves in the past, can feel the presence of these "elf users" including Judai, Manjomu, Jonouchi and Hayato.
The special power of the card elf, and what made him such a change was none other than the long-term immersion in the power of Darkness in the past year.
'It's a bit funny to say that being exposed to such a dark power actually allowed me to successfully come into contact with a little bit of the world you could feel in the past, Fujiwara...' Fubuki glanced at the sky and thought to himself.
But when Fubuki mentioned Marufuji Ryo, Marufuji Sho couldn't help clenching his fists, which made Fubuki, who was thinking about it, notice the blue dormitory uniform in his palm. He had heard about him from Ryo in the past.
In fact, Fubuki, who is actually an older brother like himself and has a younger brother who is about the same age as his sister, has actually known Marufuji Sho's character for a long time. He understood the atmosphere well and did not disturb him. Instead, he asked Judai: "What about him?
,Where did he go?"
"As for Caesar, Hayato-sensei told him something difficult to understand like 'body is a pineapple,' and then asked him to go back to the duel field to find Ayukawa-sensei."
After Judai finished speaking, Sho Marufuji said with resentment towards Caesar: "Is that person really the Ryo Marufuji of the past? He said it himself, he is no longer Ryo Marufuji but just Ryo Marufuji.
Caesar. Really, to what extent he is confused by power..."
"You are wrong, Liang's brother."
Sho Marufuji originally thought that Tenjoin Fubuki, who was taken advantage of and fell into coma because of the duel with Caesar, would be full of complaints and dissatisfaction with Caesar just like him. After all, Fubuki, who had dueled with Caesar at close range, should be able to understand
She felt the dark will in him, as if it was controlled by darkness, but she didn't expect that Fubuki would refute her opinion faster than Judai.
After recovering for a while, Fubuki, who felt almost ready, stood up from the ground, so that Judai and Xiang no longer had to squat. While patting the grass clippings and dust on his clothes, Fubuki said: "On the contrary
What’s more, although Ryo’s increased consciousness has made a great change in his will, ‘Caesar’ is still Ryo Marufuji, there is no doubt about this.”
"As for being bewitched by power... I should be the one talking about it. I couldn't resist the temptation of darkness and subconsciously fell into it again and couldn't extricate myself. It would be really embarrassing. If it weren't for
The principal and teacher interrupted the duel and expelled the 'Darkness', and Liang's will is guiding me. I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up so quickly."
Marufuji Xiang was a little surprised: "Brother...Caesar's will is guiding you, Senior Tenjoyin?"
"Well, I'm still thinking about why even if I keep going deep into the darkness, I can't find the light in his soul that is saturated with darkness. It turns out that from the beginning, he has only stood on the edge of darkness and has never been tainted by those things.
The light in his heart.”
After a pause, Fubuki scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed, "But why he wants to wrap himself in darkness, I still can't understand, hahaha."
"I think it should be for victory. Caesar said it himself. This is his struggle for victory." Judai thought for a while and said, "There is no goal, just pursuing victory for the duel victory itself. I think now
That’s probably what Caesar thinks. Today’s Caesar is even stronger than before.”
Thinking that a stronger Caesar might be able to duel with him more happily, this made Judai's lips curl up subconsciously, and he didn't even realize that he was actually smiling.
"Brother, do you think so, the same as senior Tianshangyuan?"
Hearing what Marufuji Sho said, Judai nodded without hesitation: "Yes, at least I think so. Besides, although Fubuki fell into a coma due to the duel with Caesar, the root cause is still the 'Darkness', Caesar."
He didn’t do anything to hurt others, he just fought with all his strength in his own way in the duel.”
"Even Big Brother, you said that..." Sho Marufuji had a tangled expression on his face. He wanted to believe Judai's judgment, but he also felt the weight of the uniform in his hand that was abandoned by Marufuji Ryo.
I couldn't help but recall the wild smile I saw on the beach.
"I don't believe you, brother. I want to witness Caesar's duel again." Such words did not come out of Marufuji Xiang's mouth. In the end, his trust in Judai prevailed. He looked at Judai, although he was confident.
Although he was not satisfied, he still said: "If it's you, brother, I trust your judgment."
"The difference in treatment is really obvious, Brother Marufuji, you really admire Judai." Fubuki said with a smile, but subconsciously recalled the duel with Judai when Darkness took over his body.
Darkness said that Judai, who uses the hero-themed [E·hero] deck and acts as a benchmark for "heroes," "loses the qualifications when he wants to be a hero." He is not a real hero or even himself.
As shown, he belongs to the good camp.
Fubuki originally sneered at Darkness's judgment in that memory of hers, thinking that it was just trash talk that Darkness said in order to influence Judai's performance in the duel. "How to deal with the opponent's trash talk", Hayato-sensei taught him in class.
Taught this knowledge.
But when he saw Judai's subconscious smile just now, Fubuki suddenly felt that maybe the "trash talk" was mixed with water, but it was not completely unfounded? No, what was he thinking? He was actually thinking about Darkness's words.
?It seems that my situation is really not good, and I have been affected by what happened just now. Otherwise, how could I believe in Darkness and doubt Judai?
Fubuki shook her head helplessly.
At the same time, a hand quietly put on his shoulder, and a gentle female voice sounded: "It's normal to treat him differently, isn't it? Because, the other person is you, Fubuki-san."
As the sound rang out, Judai and Xiang saw Fubuki's body stiffen up visibly, and the helpless smiles on his faces froze. Only his eyes could move, and they moved extremely cautiously towards the one holding his shoulders.
The owner of the hand was Mr. Emi Ayukawa, the dormitory supervisor of the Obelisk Blue Girls' Dormitory, health teacher, physical education teacher, and school nurse who was noticed by Judai and others after he suddenly made a noise.
"Emi-chan? When did you come? Today is also a good day."
Looking at the large dark cloud floating in the sky and the laughing Fubuki, Teacher Ayukawa also showed a gentle smile: "I should have reminded you, Fubuki-san, remember to wear uniforms in school, but you just left.
I put on this beach floral shirt again, have you paid attention to the temperature today?"
"No, because my heart has turned to 114514 degrees Celsius because of you Emi-chan."
Fubuki tried to use her rich experience in picking up conversations to get over this topic.
"Crack-" Fubuki's bones made a rather subtle sound in the suddenly locked arms.
"Today's average temperature is only 10 degrees Celsius. It's a shame that you can still say such things while wearing such clothes." Teacher Ayukawa performed what is called face changing. She was smiling just now with a serious expression like a devil,
"I also heard from Ryo Marufuji that you fainted just now? It's about demeanor, not warmth, right? If you don't have a fever in such thin clothes, who will?"
"No, no, Emi-chan, I didn't send—"
"Be obedient and keep me healthy!"
"Click——"
Blowing the snow trumpet and falling into silence.
Seeing Fubuki being dragged away by Ayukawa Emi-sensei, foaming at the corner of her mouth, Marufuji Sho complained: "I don't know whether the 'Darkness' has a greater influence, or Ayukawa-sensei's grappling techniques that make Tenjoin more attractive."
Senior fell into a deep sleep."
"You have a strong sense of responsibility for the health of our students. Teacher Ayukawa's merits are indeed very good, but it is difficult not to make people complain about this method of first blowing up the patient with a grenade in order to treat the patient."
Dai also sighed.
Teacher Ayukawa Emi, who hadn't walked far, didn't know if she heard what the two said, but she stopped and suddenly shouted: "Yujo, Marufuji Sho!"
"Hi?!" X2
Being suddenly called upon, Judai and Xiang stood at attention instantly.
Turning back with a gentle smile, Teacher Ayukawa said softly: "Sho Marufuji, remember to change your clothes when you go back. If you don't change your clothes in time, you will catch a cold. And Yujo, please do your best for the afternoon game.
oh."
Although the smile was gentle, neither Judai nor Xiang really thought that Ayukawa-sensei was such a gentle person. They nodded and bowed hurriedly, watched the other person leave their sight, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, why would Ayukawa-sensei not hesitate to use such brutal tactics only when dealing with Fubuki?" Judai asked Marufuji Shodao with doubts.
"I happen to know this question. I heard from Maeda that Ayukawa-sensei was also a member of the Tenjoin-senpai fan club before, until he participated in the academy exchange competition two years ago and Ayukawa-sensei witnessed him.
He hooked up with three girls from other schools, and then his popularity turned into black."
"Just because of that? It's really hard to understand. Fortunately, I don't have fans like that." Subconsciously, Judai forgot about Saotome's ceremony.
