"This is?" Looking at a business card handed to him by Becas, John politely took it with both hands and said with some confusion.
"If you hold my business card, it can be used as the access card of the International Illusion Society and passed by the security personnel, because it represents my approval." Bekas smiled, "If one day
If I have finished making the card, it is not safe to send it out by courier. It is best for you, John Boy, to pick it up in person."
"Huh?" John didn't realize what Becas meant for the moment, and was still waiting for Becas to comment on his duel with Hayato. He still wanted to know whether his performance in Duel Monsters could be compared to that of Duel Monsters.
Father approves.
But Rafael naturally heard what Becas meant, and said on behalf of John: "Thank you on behalf of Johnny, Becas J. Crofodo."
"Don't mind, Mr. Rafilu, it would be a happy thing for me to find a duelist who can bring out the performance of the card." Bekas shook his finger and said, "It would be better to say that Duel-Monster can
It makes me happy to bring smiles to more people."
"That's right, Becas, you can occasionally say something reasonable. Duel Monsters is all about bringing smiles to people..." Jonouchi stopped mid-sentence and glanced at Hayato, who looked uncomfortable next to him.
"Uh, what's wrong, Hayato?"
"Maybe it's because I've heard too much about 'Judaixiao', 'Ubaa', 'Smailu' and the like. Just hearing 'Judaixiao' or something like that gave me a Ptsd attack." Hayato rubbed his arms and complained.
.Looking at John who was still a little confused, he also explained: "Don't you understand yet? Your will has been affirmed by Becas, John."
"Celebrate!"
"Really?!" John showed a happy expression. It seemed that he had finally understood what Becas meant. Not just him, Jonouchi and Honda also high-fived in unison: "That's great.
!"
"You two must have just realized this..." Kyoko curled her lips, looked at John and said gently, "John, you did a great job, you were able to persevere to the end even if you were using a deck that was not suitable for you.
Never give up on every monster, even I think your performance is quite handsome."
"Well, thank you for your compliment, Sister Xingzi."
Bekas was very happy to find a user for the card he was still making in advance. Many of them allowed John to make difficult decisions that were difficult to make before. It also explained to John the current troubles.
The reason why he made the cards and told John the reason why he could only choose one of them to make.
"Sa, John boy, come and make your choice. Choose your partner who will accompany you for a long time in the future. No matter which one you choose in the end, I will do my best to make a perfect card~"
Looking at the possibility of the two cards [Jewel Knight] and [Jewel Beast] displayed by Becas, John showed a troubled expression: "I am actually asked to make a choice. No one has ever done this before.
Tell me?"
"If I choose one of them, wouldn't it eliminate the possibility of another card coming into the world?"
"Teacher..."
Noticing that John was looking at him for help, Rafilu shook his head: "I can't help you with this kind of thing, Johnny, don't have any expectations from me. This is your own partner, so naturally you have to rely on
Decide with your own thoughts, not other people’s words.”
"Also, although Becas said that once you make one kind of card, you can't make another kind of card, but you don't have any psychological burden on this. After all, although Becas is a very disdainful person,
He is a card printer, but he is still very talented in card production, and it is impossible to let an idea go without letting it come out." Hayato also enlightened John.
Hearing what Rafilu and Hayato had said, John believed their words for the time being, put aside his worries, and looked at the two sketches in Becas's notes seriously.
The design was based on [Shadow Yi-Shenzi Crystal], but a more accurate term is the "restored" [Gem Knight]. Although it was only a sketch-level design, John could vaguely feel the features it possessed.
There is a certain sense of fate, as if he is a hero under the grand destiny arrangement in a legendary epic.
John subconsciously felt that if he chose the [Gem Knight], even a very weak himself (compared to Hayato, Rafiru and the others) might be driven by fate to embark on a glorious path of heroism and become one of the great saviors.
The role of classes.
Looking back at the sketches of [Jade Beast], the only sketch of [Jade Pegasus] that has been completed is already very complete, and it can also give John a clearer understanding of the strength of [Jade Beast]. They should have powerful
With perseverance, they are connected by bonds, and even though they are weak individually, they can still exert compelling power.
However, compared to the [Jewel Knight], even if a certain number of [Jewel Beasts] are gathered together, it may be difficult to exert a power that surpasses the former, unless there is someone who can fully unleash the power of many [Jewel Beasts] and integrate their powers.
Exists.
Even if there are no actually completed cards, John believes that his judgment will not be too different. This may be the so-called "duelist's intuition" that Rafiru has always mentioned to him.
The strength of [Jewel Knight] should be higher than that of [Jewel Beast]. Pure intuition allowed John to make the same judgment as Hayato who knew the complete appearance of these two decks. Judging from a rational point of view, there is no
In doubt, John should choose [Gem Knight].
"If I want to use an analogy, [Gem Knight] is like a tough sword, and [Gemmon] is like a bridge of rainbows. If I want to be a duelist at the top, there is no doubt that I will choose
The former."
Facing Becas's manuscripts, John stretched out his hand and placed his hand on one of them without hesitation, "However, I may disappoint you, the teacher and Mr. Becas, but I never thought about being at the top."
The duelist."
"And maybe it's an illusion, I seemed to hear a voice, right here, I heard someone calling me——"
As John stretched out his hand and touched the completion of the sketch on Becas's manuscript, a magical scene appeared. The ordinary paper actually bloomed with seven colors of rainbow-like light, gathering and wrapping towards John's palm.
When the light dissipated, a card appeared out of thin air in John's hand. The card on the card showed a red jade emitting a faint light, and the card was called [Jade's Contract].
At the same time as this card appeared, John heard the voice calling him more clearly than before: "Hello, John, nice to meet you..."
"Uh, hello?" John subconsciously turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, but he could only see the phantom of an invincible Pegasus dissipating in a piece of cyan light, and the voice just now failed to respond.
John.
Just when John almost thought he had made a mistake, he found that Rafilu and the others were also looking at the position next to him.
"That one just now, is it an elf?"
After hearing Jonouchi's words, Atum also nodded, saying that he had just seen it: "The elf that seems to be connected to the card in John's hand also looks like the one designed by Bekas [Jade Beast-Sapphire Pegasus]
】Very similar."
"Is there an awakened elf on a card that hasn't even been made yet? This is a perfect match for John."
"Not only that, that card is called [Baoyu's Contract]. Does it represent the formation of a contract between each other?" Malik, who also saw the elf of "Baoyu Beast - Jade Pegasus" said, "That's it.
We have already started printing cards. From all angles, this kid will definitely be awesome in the future."
"Grandma said that children are the most precious treasure of the world, and children's wishes are the reality of the future. In other words, the future of the world is children." As Hayato said, he stretched his fingers to the sky in a gesture that was unclear but very attractive.
.
"Although what I said makes sense, I still want to complain. Are you sure that's what your grandma said, brother-in-law?"
"Don't care about details. Those who care about details are three-year-olds."
"What you said makes me care more!"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Atum looked at Hayato who still did not give up correcting Malik to call him "brother-in-law", and murmured: "The future of the world belongs to the children... It is indeed like that.
”
‘Another me?’
In [Millennium Building Blocks], Yugi and Atum's thoughts were connected, and he immediately noticed the thoughts in Atum's heart. With a smile on Atum's face, he handed his body back to Yugi.
Return to [Millennium Building Blocks].
‘Yeah, but I’ll keep it a secret from everyone for now, and we’ll talk about it later, Aibo.’
And John also noticed the subtle changes in the game: "Ah, Mr. Game has become shorter - Eh? It doesn't seem to have become shorter? But the temperament has changed, and there is an illusion that he has become shorter."
"You don't have to be so clear about duelists, Johnny. [Millennium Artifact], it's amazing, isn't it." Rafilu said casually, but although he looked calm on the surface, it was not the first time he saw such a scene, he still felt
The power of [Millennium Artifact] is indeed a magical item that is difficult to understand.
John nodded as if he understood, then lowered his head and looked at the [Baoyu's Contract] card in his hand, and asked Rafilu: "Teacher, is that one just now really the elf of the card? I really have one now, too.
Partner?"
"But why did he disappear as soon as he appeared?"
"John boy, the card in your hand is a symbol of the connection between you and the elves, so there is no need to doubt that this is a dream." Bekas said with a smile, "As for the elves appearing and disappearing, that is inevitable. After all, I still have
I haven’t finished making my own card that can host elves.”
Although he was talking to John, Bekas's eyes never moved away from the card in John's hand, always focusing on [Baoyu's Contract]: "But, John, if you give the card to
If the data is borrowed from me as a reference, it will definitely speed up the completion of the card - um!"
"Your abacus is too loud. I can hear it from kilometers away. Becas, why is your dagger wrapped with a map of Zhang Yan?" Hayato interrupted after knocking Becas on the back of his neck.
Bekas's extremely obvious intention was, "You've just found a partner. Even if you can't contact them for the time being, at least they're a concern. If you take the card from them, you can tell them."
When John heard this, he smiled silly, and looked down at the card in his hand, with a smile on his face and light in his eyes, as if he had received a precious treasure.
——————The dividing line for group visits to scenic spots——————
The pleasant day passed quickly. In the evening, Rafiru and John's master and apprentice said goodbye to Hayato and his group. They appeared in Egypt this time because Rafiru felt that they might be able to find John's suitable card here. Now
Becas has decided to give the [Jade Beast] to John, so there is no need for them to continue traveling in Egypt.
After all, compared to the game group, who has Becas to bear the expenses, Rafilu, who is already an adult, has to continue to make money, but he is good at dueling monsters and does not want to use the cards that he regards as family members as a tool to make money to participate in duels.
The tournament originally had a certain reputation in the United States because Dazi asked him to hunt for the American champion.
And Becas also asked them to leave a communication method that they could contact, so that they could be informed at any time after Becas completed the [Jade Beast] card.
However, although Becas said that after deciding to make a card in the direction of [Jade Beast], he already had creative ideas and he would be able to complete the card quickly. However, Becas saw a lot of things during the day.
But he didn't make a single move on the manuscript. Even if others urged him to do it, he would only say, "I'm drawing, I'm drawing. Did your Uncle Becas lie to you?"
With his fishy temperament, it is doubtful that even next year, he will not be able to complete the production of the set of cards on hand.
Yes, another year has passed unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye it’s New Year’s Eve again, but this time it’s the first time for Hayato and the others to celebrate the New Year not in Doshino City, but abroad.
"Squeak~~boom!"
"Shizuka, Shizuka, have you seen it? There are actually fireworks here in Egypt!" Jonouchi said excitedly to Shizuka on the other side of the world while taking pictures of the fireworks in the night sky with his mobile phone.
On the video call, Mai, who was staying with Shizuka, complained helplessly: "Jounouchi, you idiot, Doshino City also has a fireworks show tonight."
"Oh, that's different. This is the first time Shizuka is watching the fireworks without me by her side. Mai, you have to take my place and accompany Shizuka."
It was at that time in Duel City that Shizuka's eyes regained health and regained sight. Before that, Shizuka had seen fireworks when she was very young. Although the fireworks were gorgeous to others, they were only seen during New Year's Eve and celebrations every year.
He could see things, but Jonouchi knew that his sister actually cared about fireworks, which is why she made such a cross-country video call.
In addition, the mobile phone he took actually belonged to Honda, so he didn’t have to pay the phone bill.
After chatting for a few words and exchanging blessings, Jonouchi returned the phone to Honda, who couldn't chat with Shizuka because of Jonouchi's stop. Honda looked regretful, but felt that something was wrong.
"Hmm? Did I press Shizuka's number just now? Why do you feel like this Honda guy has Shizuka's contact information?"
Listening to Jonouchi talking to himself, Honda suddenly interrupted him: "What are you thinking about? Look, look, the fireworks are coming again."
"Oh oh oh oh." Jonouchi was easily distracted and watched the fireworks rising from the ground and flying into the air, exploding into huge flowers of light.
"Squeak~~boom!"
"So beautiful..."
Looking up at the sky, Kyoko smiled and said to Yugi beside her, "We will also watch the fireworks together next year, Yugi."
Hearing this, Yugi hesitated: "This..."
"There is something I think I should tell everyone..."
Not to mention anything else, I wish you all a happy New Year, family reunion, joy and good health. You can find the book anytime you want, draw UR in the card game, and draw the jackpot when playing cards
