Chapter 32: About forgetting to name the chapter in daily life
Driven by Haima's strong poker addiction, although the warm-up activities have not yet been completed, less than half an hour passed after the quarter-finals advanced to the semi-finals. The "St. Anno"
The appearance of the "Sky Duel Arena" has changed drastically, and preparations are now underway to determine the order in which the next four top players will duel.
Of course, although the duel is taking place now, there has never been a rule that stipulates that the video of the duel recorded at this moment must be broadcast live immediately. Record it now and wait until the warm-up is completed before broadcasting it as scheduled.
It will be broadcast at the live broadcast time, and you can even write hype titles in advance based on the final results, and guide gambling on the dark web to make profits. It is extremely easy and unchallenging for Keppei, who is responsible for many of these matters.
After only being used four times, [Blue-Eyes White Dragon Lottery Machine GO!GO!] was abandoned by Kaiba without any regrets and carried back to the storage room of the airship. It can be expected that the thing will last for a long time.
Time, even until it becomes unusable and has to be scrapped, Haima will not take it out for use again.
In a sense, as Kaiba himself said, he is not a nostalgic person. It's just that his speed of "loving the new and hating the old" is a little faster.
Hayato, Yugi, Kaiba and Jonouchi stood on the four circular platforms in the center of the hall, facing each other. According to the order in which they advanced to the semi-finals, the order of the positions of the people in the clockwise direction was Kaiba → Jonouchi → Hayato
→Game.
At the edge of the hall, there was an additional elevator that led to the "Sky Duel Arena" outside the airship. Keppei, Kyoko, Honda, Shizuka, Peacock Mai, Isis and others entered it one after another and sat in the reserved seats.
on the seat.
As the referee, Isono also walked into his special seat and began to announce the rules of the upcoming duel.
"The four duelists who have advanced to the top four in Duel City will proceed to the group stage to determine the order of battle in the semifinals." I had eaten a few mints in the past half hour to make my throat sore.
After feeling comfortable, Isono's voice was full of energy at this moment. There was no loudspeaker amplification, and the voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present, "The rules applicable in the duel are a big melee between four people!"
"The basic points of each duelist will be bound to the lifting platform under their feet. In the following competition, as the basic points of each player decrease, the lifting platform will automatically rise to the corresponding height. The first two people to reach the sky duel field will
Two duelists will duel in one group, while the remaining two will form another group."
"In addition, I need to remind everyone that although it is called a 'lifting platform', the lifting platform that is raised due to the deduction of basic points will not be lowered due to the recovery of basic points, and the basic points paid by oneself will also be regarded as
Deduction."
Listening to Isono's explanation, Jonouchi scratched the back of his head with some trouble and looked at Yugi standing opposite him: "Although I don't understand it in general, in short, I just try to keep the basic score as close as possible to the opponent I want to duel with.
Right?"
"It seems that Jonouchi, you have already thought about the opponent you want to duel with?" Hayato, who was standing on Jonouchi's left hand side, said with a smile.
Because of Hayato's joining, the list of the top four in Duel City is no longer consistent with the plot trend that Hayato knows. However, after traveling here for so long, Hayato has no idea of "respecting the original". It is better to say that he can change the original.
He is quite happy with the plot.
At least, the famous scene of "Death in the Castle" has little chance of appearing.
After hearing this, Jonouchi glanced at Kaiba standing on his right, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "I have long been looking forward to the opportunity to face off against this guy Kaiba. Time and time again, so stinky
His face makes people angry just by looking at it. I finally got the chance to teach him a lesson, but I don’t want to miss it."
"Hmph, you are a mediocre person who doesn't know how to live or die." Kaiba snorted coldly and glanced at the city, "You're just a mortal, what qualifications do you have to challenge my invincible [Blue Eyes]? From the beginning, you are not what I expected.
Among the opponents list."
He turned his attention to Hayato and Yugi on his right opposite him: "[La], [Osiris], and [Obelisk] in my hand. The duel king will only be decided between the three of us.
And the winner will get the cards of all three fantasy gods."
Even though he had already qualified as a semi-finalist on the same level as Kaiba, Kaiba still had such an arrogant attitude and didn't take himself seriously at all. This made Jonouchi quite angry: "Just watch it.
, President Kaiba. Don’t let me bite your teeth with a mere mortal bone.”
Yugi and Hayato looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness in each other's eyes. Compared to Jonouchi, the two of them didn't have much demand for who the opponent would be in the next duel.
The aura between the four duelists was quite strong. Isono looked at Keppei who was sitting on the elevator, and after receiving the nod of approval from the vice-president, he said:
"Next, each duelist is asked to show a monster card with its face facing upwards as evidence to determine the order. The user of the monster with the highest attack power will get priority in the duel, and then the other duelists will duel in clockwise order.
."
"However, the monster cards that have been displayed cannot be used in the subsequent duel."
After hearing Isono's words, the four of them quickly picked out the presented card, placed it on the duel plate that had been opened in advance, and then turned it over together.
On Kaiba's field is [Diamond Dragon], which is made of shining diamonds and has an attack power of 2100 points.
The monster in the city is a mutant Hulk that has been splashed with purple dye. I would say it is [Maximum Six]. Its attack power is 1900 points, which is slightly inferior to [Diamond Dragon].
Hayato had no intention of taking the initiative. The monster that appeared on his field was [Death Stalker] with only 900 attack points. Out of the bond with his old friend who had been with him since the beginning of time travel, Hayato had always
Its cards are stuffed into the spare deck at the waist.
To Hayato's surprise, the monster that appeared on the field after him was [Dark Knight-Gaia]. His 2,300 attack points just exceeded Kaiba's [Diamond Dragon] by 200 points.
, thereby seizing the right to attack first.
From this, the order of the duel was decided, Isono announced: "Then, the order of the duel will be Muto Yugi, Kaiba Seto, Jonouchi Katsuya, Kobayashi Hayato. I announce the semi-final group stage of the Duel City top four players.
,Start now!"
"Duel!"X4

"My turn, draw a card!" In the blink of an eye, Wang Xiang, who instantly replaced the appearance of the game, pulled out a card from the deck, took a look at it, and put it into his hand, looking at
The other three people were inspected.
Although he has no real obsession with the next opponent, considering that in order to retrieve his memory, Yami Yugi must collect the cards of the three phantom gods. In theory, there will be at most two duels next, which means
, the opponents in the game should be Hayato and Kaiba as much as possible.
Therefore, although I feel a little sorry for Jonouchi, he is tentatively the target of the next game. As long as he eliminates Jonouchi first, he only needs to concentrate on solving one of Hayato or Kaiba, and then he can be divided with the other one.
Went to a group.
"Summon a monster in face-down defense position, then I cover three cards, and the turn ends."
In this four-person melee, the first three people who take action do not have the ability to enter the combat stage. They have to wait until the fourth round, which is Hayato's turn on the right side of the game, before he can enter the combat stage and fight against the others.
People initiate active attacks.

"Hmph, did you choose a defensive tactic before your own battle phase, Yugi? My turn..." You can hear the iconic snort of Kaiba, and he drew a card from the deck.
Then, activate it directly on the field, "draw a card, and then summon [Dark Path Transformer-Zach] in attack position.
On Kaiba's field, a magician-type monster dressed as a clown appears. The attack power of 600 points is quite weak. In Kaiba's deck, which implements "attack is the truth", there is a monster with an attack power lower than 1500.
It is quite abnormal in itself, not to mention that Kaiba summoned it directly on the field in attack position, clearly telling others that he was going to use a trap.

"Cover two cards, my turn is over." After Kaiba covered two cards, he ended his turn just as quickly.
However, although the cards are covered, Hayato can swear by the soul of Malik sleeping in the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom]. If there is no [Death Card Destruction Virus] in those two cover cards, Malik will swallow feces on the spot.
Commit suicide.
Even Yugi had a look of helplessness on his face, and he had obviously guessed Kaiba's tactics. Wouldn't Kaiba use some new tricks? Why did he only use this trick? After this live broadcast, I'm afraid everyone
Do all duelists around the world know what Kaiba’s Gaika is?
Then, the unexpected duelist No. 1 - Jonouchi started his turn.
"This guy Kaiba actually added a card like the game. What kind of card could it be?" Jonouchi, the only one among the people present who hadn't figured out what Kaiba's cover was, looked confused and pulled out a card. "
All in all, I just summoned a powerful monster."
"Activate the magic card [Fusion], and I will use [Demon's Summon] and [Red-Eyed Black Dragon] in my hand as materials for fusion." After playing two cards from his hand, Jonouchi actually used two cards in his first turn.
Collecting the cards in his hand, "Come out, [Devil Dragon-Dark Demon Dragon]!"
Black flames and dark thunder gathered into a huge whirlpool, and the [Devil Dragon-Dark Demon Dragon] that Jonouchi used to defeat Peacock Dance appeared on the field!
