Chapter 312
A few days later, Hikari Tenjou and his party boarded a plane to the headquarters of the Chazz Princeton Group. Besides Hikari Tenjou and the others, Serena and Ruri also followed, treating it as an extracurricular activity, letting Ruri watch, and incidentally letting Serena relax.
On the plane, Chazz incidentally followed the content of Hikari Tenjou's previous duel.
"The duel with Zero Akaba, I cut it into two types of videos. One was handed to the Master, and the other was given to other seniors for review." He followed the details.
Like the Earthbound Immortals, Phantom Demons, Numbers, and the card Hikari Tenjou finally pulled out that directly tore the image system to pieces and only recovered after Chaos Phantasm Armityle appeared, none of them were suitable for ordinary people to watch.
Especially the Phantom Demons; the less people knew about this kind of card, the better.
And besides that, the brand-new card type, Pendulum, made Seto Kaiba very interested.
More importantly, because of this duel of Hikari Tenjou, Seto Kaiba seemed to have finally determined what was hidden in that newly discovered dimension.
It turned out to be the "P Dimension" of Pendulum; it could hide so well.
"Later you might become the [Pendulum Pioneer] of our dimension." Chazz spread his hands, held them in front of him, and complained to Hikari Tenjou, "Although you guy is famous enough in our dimension, after all, although you are not the first person in our dimension to use Synchro, you are the first to use Synchro for Fusion.
I dare say that after everyone knows about this in the future, it will definitely make your followers even more fanatical."
"Fanaticism is sometimes not very good." Hikari Tenjou shook his head upon hearing his words.
Being worshipped, he was definitely secretly happy, but it didn't mean he hoped his "fans" or members would fanatically push him or fanatically imitate him.
He didn't want anyone to use him to argue, and even less hoped that one day in the future someone would use him to belittle others. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
Judai was very curious about things like "Pendulum," but Hikari Tenjou just shook his head and told him that he couldn't use it yet.
Although he had Zero Akaba's "legacy" and conducted tests, unfortunately, in reality, he couldn't even use "Starving Venom Fusion Dragon" now.
Currently, it seemed that Zero Akaba could successfully use Pendulum monsters before, not simply because he had Pendulum cards, but there was also an important factor: he himself had some traits.
It was very likely a "trait" that only specific personnel like Serena and Yugo had. Hikari Tenjou couldn't use it alone.
Unless Pendulum was born thoroughly in the future, there was still no way to use Pendulum normally.
But in any case, the Kaiba Corporation had gradually understood the relevant matters.
Judai could only wait in expectation to see the time of "Pendulum."
In addition, Hikari Tenjou also incidentally told them that the dimensional door he built with alchemy had been tested many times and could be put into use. If they had any interesting places next, they could try it in the dimensional door of the Fusion Department.
"Oh oh oh! A dimensional door exclusive to our department! That's great, I can't wait!" Judai replied excitedly.
"Dimensional door? That's fine, I also have a few places that don't meet the school's requirements..." Chazz thought for a while and nodded.
Arriving at the headquarters of the Chazz Princeton Group, it looked more gorgeous and huge than the Kaiba Corporation just from the appearance. Just from this point, it could be seen that the Chazz Princeton Group indeed had their ambition.
Entering the Chazz Princeton Group, Chazz's two brothers first habitually mocked their younger brother, and then, everyone didn't have any nonsense.
First appearing was Zane Truesdale and the representative duelist of the Chazz Princeton Group. Hikari Tenjou looked, didn't recognize him, and he wasn't any legendary duelist, but he seemed to be a professional duelist. In the world professional duelist ranking, his score was higher than Aster's.
"Is it actually higher than Aster Phoenix?" Judai and Chazz were startled.
The former had truly dueled Aster and truly lost to Aster, while the latter had long heard of Aster's name and had also taken time to watch Hikari Tenjou and Aster's duel to analyze Hikari Tenjou's deck, knowing that he was an extremely difficult character to deal with.
Letting him come, he found it very difficult to think about how to defeat the combination of Destiny HERO - Plasma and Destiny HERO - Dystopia.
Is he actually a duelist stronger than that Aster Phoenix??
Hearing this, Hikari Tenjou shook his head.
What's the use of a high score? Strength is the foundation.
In the original work, there were many people in the professional league with higher scores than Aster. When they really fought, they were silent. Just like the "Professional Duelist X" who dueled Hikari Tenjou in the Fusion Department before, his score was higher than Aster's, and he was still a professional duelist who claimed "no one can defeat him in the first duel," and it was still just like that.
However, what Hikari Tenjou didn't expect was that as Zane fought, he really looked like he was going to lose.
Fortunately, at the moment of imminent defeat, Zane Truesdale suddenly "flipped over like a salted fish," relied on a trap to pass a turn, then wiped his cold sweat, coughed twice, and shouted to the surroundings: "Alright, next is the reversal moment, everyone, open your eyes and watch~"
Then he hurriedly tributed a monster to summon Cyberdark Dragon, then used its effect to clear the field, recycle, and won the victory.
After it ended, he wiped the non-existent cold sweat, looked at the three juniors who were looking at him in shock, hurriedly put on an expression of everything being under control, raised his thumb, and smiled reluctantly.
The rule of this representative battle was "after the representative duel ends, then conduct the family head duel," so the 1v1 and 2v2 duels had to be all won for there to be a possibility of Chazz fighting two brothers alone.
If Zane lost as soon as he came up, then Hikari Tenjou and Judai wouldn't need to play.
Zane went to the backstage and wiped his cold sweat fiercely.
So dangerous, almost played it off.
During this period, he had been learning "Entertainment Dueling," which was to guide the audience's emotions through the performance of the duel, the change of life points, and the possibility of winning or losing, to conduct "reversals" or other behaviors.
But he might have tried too hard, and in the end, he looked like he was on the edge of a cliff. Let alone entertainment, it was very scary, giving Hikari Tenjou and the three brothers a cold sweat.
Fortunately, although there were some twists and turns, he still won in the end.
He could only wipe the sweat on his forehead, thinking in his heart that he still had to continue to work hard and continue to improve.
Then, he threw the things just now behind his head, directly hung up the camera, came to the viewing area of the Kaiba Corporation, shouting things like "Hikari, Judai, come on!", and started preparing to take pictures.
"If I were as dashing as Senior Zane, life should be very easy and very carefree." Serena looked at Zane being so unreliable and couldn't help but sigh.
"Is, is it?" Even Ruri, seeing this, could only echo.
After all, she was not very familiar with the people in this world, and this time she just came to see what the duel in this world looked like.
However, since 1v1 had ended, it was time for 2v2 to start.
"What famous player in the GX tournament, didn't he almost lose?" In the Chazz Princeton Group, several people who looked like Chazz's uncles and aunts were discussing in a low voice, "If the help Chazz found is only to this extent, it doesn't make any sense at all, right?"
"Yes, next, the opponent we prepared is a legendary duelist!"
Legendary duelist?
Ruri was hearing this strange title for the first time.
In her world, there was never this strange title or appellation.
Just as she was thinking this, Hikari Tenjou and Judai had already installed their Duel Disks. Hikari Tenjou's high-tech Duel Disk was recognized by many people in the Chazz Princeton Group, and they couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.
"This Duel Disk, isn't it the kind on Chazz's hand?"
"Wait, I know this person, isn't this the one competing with Chazz for the championship—"
"It's the GX tournament champion, that Hikari Tenjou!"
"So ruthless, Chazz, in order to get the position of family head, actually invited his own enemy?" Chazz's second brother was also watching the battle on the side, and seeing Hikari Tenjou appear, he was truly somewhat surprised.
Hikari Tenjou bowed and said hello on the side, and then told them that he was Chazz's opponent in the competition, but in daily study, their relationship was still very good.
"Humph, also, after all, there is also a saying of cherishing each other." Chazz's second brother was also very straightforward and didn't care much about this point.
Taking advantage of this time, Ruri asked Serena what the GX tournament champion was. Serena immediately puffed out her chest and raised her head, starting to tell Ruri what this champion represented—world number one, genius among geniuses, the "most genius" duelist today, the "Dueling King" among young people.
This is Hikari Tenjou, her Master!
Actually so powerful!
Also right—
Should be so powerful!
Ruri recalled the duel of Hikari Tenjou she saw before and nodded deeply.
Whether it was the duel with Crow or Zero Akaba, Hikari Tenjou was confident and high-spirited, also had his own persistence, and having this title didn't seem strange.
"Who is the other Slifer Red? What rank is he in the GX tournament?"
"Uh, haven't seen him, seems like he didn't participate in the final."
"Ha, this kid Chazz, still quite taking care of his brother, invited a champion and a passerby duelist?"
Several seniors of the Chazz Princeton Group muttered again.
Hearing this, Ruri looked at Judai curiously, while Serena revealed a trace of embarrassment after hearing those voices.
So this made Ruri ask even more curiously.
And Serena's answer was even simpler—Judai didn't participate, that's all. If Judai participated, it would be hard to say who the champion was.
So strong?!
Ruri realized instantly.
That is to say, Chazz didn't think about "saving face" at all, invited the duelist, and invited the "strongest duo" as soon as he came up, with the goal of making his brother lose face?
That's for sure. If it wasn't for the sake of "winning" practically, why would Chazz challenge?
Just when the two were ready, suddenly, two "Duo" sounds rang out. Two men in Chinese long gowns jumped high, rolled on the dueling stage, then relayed each other in the air, crossed positions, landed on the ground, and posed.
The two were twins, looking exactly the same, both wearing Chinese long gowns, but the colors of the clothes they wore were different. The one on the left had "Maze" written on his head, and his clothes were orange; the one on the right had "Labyrinth" written on his head, and his clothes were green. It was the famous "legendary duelists," two of them, the legendary double duelists, the Paradox Brothers!
"We are the wandering guardians."
The two leaned shoulder to shoulder, arms crossed, looking at Hikari Tenjou and the other.
"Wow, they also look the same! Ruri!" Serena greeted Ruri on the side.
Ruri felt that the appearance of these two should be true twins, and they were different from them.
"Humph humph, they are legendary duelists who have dueled with the legendary Dueling King, Yugi Muto, and once made Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler suffer a lot. They are not duelists that ordinary duelists can win." Chazz's second brother sneered.
Oh ah!
Some passersby onlookers let out exclamations, and reporters started taking pictures crazily, even Zane Truesdale couldn't help but start filming the two bald men.
Although Ruri didn't know the two, hearing the title "Dueling King," she could also realize the historical status of the two, and therefore marveled.
"Cut, isn't it just a legendary duelist?" Just when she was sighing, in the auditorium not far from them, a young man with his hands in his pockets, looking slightly thin, said coldly, "Duelists should talk about strength, nothing big."
"Wow—Senior Raptor." Hearing his voice, Serena looked over and was surprised to find that in the camera department of the Kaiba Corporation, there was another person, it was Rex Raptor!
"We have no grudge with you—"
"Hard battle—"
The two said one sentence each, while extending their hands, combining into an "x" cross, and then spoke together:
"If you defeat us, the road will open!"
"Alright, duel!"
Ding—
A strange gong sound rang out.
This was the classic opening line of the Paradox Brothers!
It is said that even the Dueling King Yugi Muto was given a big fright by them two back then!
After this classic opening line, a group of reporters started taking pictures fiercely.
"Oh oh oh, worthy of being a legendary duelist, truly has momentum!" The older generation of the Chazz Princeton Group applauded repeatedly.
And the Paradox Brothers looked at Hikari Tenjou and the other: "Although it is said there is no grudge."
"However, Jaden Yuki, last time, during the dormitory duel, we were taken care of."
"Hahaha, did the legendary duelist remember me? Then I am really honored!" Jaden scratched the back of his head excitedly.
When Hikari Tenjou first came to this world, Jaden and Syrus Truesdale touched the prohibited items of the academy and were punished to conduct a dormitory duel. If they lost, they would be expelled directly. At that time, their opponents were the Paradox Brothers.
The Paradox Brothers were not angry either. Para sneered and said, "We are hired duelists. As long as it is a 2v2 duel, anyone in the world who invites us, we are happy to participate."
"However, this time, we came voluntarily. Because, we heard that you might appear this time."
Because the spirit world is more popular with double duels to test the fighting spirit and enthusiasm of duelists, in the human world here, double duels gradually became regularized and gradually became popular.
Like the Paradox Brothers, this kind of famous super double group, naturally many forces were willing to hire them, so the lives of the two could be said to be very easy and happy.
To be honest, because they lived too happily, they didn't urgently crave to become stronger like Rex Raptor, so they lost to Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale in the dormitory duel, so they were questioned by many people.
It was also because of this that the two changed their past style after that and hurriedly started to re-study new tactics and new routines.
Relying on the status of legendary duelists, super luxurious status, and the status of being able to mix anywhere in this world, the two greatly changed their decks in the past year or so, for the sake of "revenge."
Simply put, it was to defeat Jaden and prove themselves!
Although there was no Syrus Truesdale this time, having a Hikari Tenjou shouldn't count as them bullying people.
Therefore, the two didn't hide anything and just said these words openly.
"Haha. I am really popular—" Jaden said happily after listening. If it were the previous him, it should have ended here, but he changed the subject, "Sorry, Hikari, let you face a stronger enemy than you should have encountered."
Hikari Tenjou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Ha, I have long wanted to duel with the famous Paradox Brothers, so it's nothing—besides, didn't you say you are super strong now?"
"Hahaha."
The two teased each other.
"—Anyway, are you ready?" The referee of the Kaiba Corporation declared.
"Of course." All duelists opened their mouths.
"The rule is the standard double duel rule of the spirit world, life points 8000, you can fight in the second turn, the two teams of duelists share the field area, monster area, magic area, trap area, and cards in the banished state—" The referee of the Kaiba Corporation raised a red flag and shouted the rules.
"Then..."
"Duel!" x4.
Jaden Yuki & Hikari Tenjou, lp: 8000.
Paradox Brothers, lp: 8000.
