Chapter 429

Although it was slightly beyond the understanding of the Kaiba Corporation employees, Kaiba Corporation had long been prepared to treat personnel during the tournament.

After all, no one could say what might happen in the middle of a duel.

As professionals who had once witnessed Katsuya Jonouchi being burned unconscious by The Winged Dragon of Ra, they were prepared for such situations.

But they were only prepared.

After the duel ended, the entire dueling field was covered in black flames. Everywhere there were these raging fires that burned out of thin air despite having no fuel. Even using fire extinguishers to put them out was impossible.

Beyond that, although the Lightsworn and a large number of Winged Beast spirits worked together to construct a barrier, many audience members were still touched by the "aftermath" of the duel.

Although Fubuki had done his best to control the flames, the Kaiba Corporation employees could not guarantee that there would be no issues at all.

Therefore, the finals naturally could not proceed smoothly.

Kaiba Corporation notified all contestants and the audience that the finals would be suspended for two days, partly as a break and partly because they needed to reorganize the dueling field once again.

"Sigh, the President is truly far-sighted." A suit-wearing employee in sunglasses, while handling and moving things with his colleagues, sighed, "I was wondering why the President required the dueling field to be higher the further the finals went, and finally even to completely isolate everyone from watching and build a sky platform directly.

So he was preparing for this?"

The young employee said this without hiding his admiration for Seto Kaiba at all.

To be able to think of even this, it was too amazing!

Several veteran employees looked at each other. Although they were all wearing sunglasses, they could already feel each other's thoughts.

Indeed, the President was truly far-sighted; that was correct.

He had indeed said that because the Spirit World could directly call upon the power of spirits, duels might be dangerous.

But such a thing could not possibly have been anticipated from the start.

He was a human, not a god; he couldn't predict the future!

But regardless, the work had to be done. The employees prepared to rebuild the dueling field and add protective measures to reduce the possibility of risks.

As for the finals, they would be suspended for two days, which was just enough time for everyone to prepare carefully again.

Tiancheng Guang was not in a hurry.

After Fubuki's duel ended, it would take several more matches before it was his and Jim's turn.

Taking advantage of this time, he and several other friends hurried to the Kaiba Corporation's infirmary.

Before they even entered the ward, they saw Asuka pushing a small wheelchair. In the wheelchair, Fubuki was mindlessly holding a rose, waving at the nurse nearby. Asuka looked furious, but seeing that her brother was a wounded patient after all, she didn't throw a punch at him in the end.

"Where on earth did Senior Fubuki conjure that rose from?" Manjoume, seeing this scene, finally couldn't hold back and broke his composure, asking about this curiously.

Based on his understanding of Tenjoin Asuka, she might tolerate Tenjoin Fubuki flirting with other girls, but she definitely wouldn't accept him running around, picking flowers, or taking guitars while hospitalized.

It was very unstable, and there might be hidden dangers.

Therefore, when they were traveling, Fubuki definitely had no flowers in his hands.

And with his observation skills, Fubuki conjuring a flower right in front of him really dropped his jaw.

How on earth did he do that?

"Hahaha, Manjoume, are you curious? As long as you take me as your master, I can teach you how to please girls! Look, Asuka is very beautiful, right—"

"Brother!"

Asuka interrupted Fubuki's words.

"Heh... seeing you so healthy, I'm relieved." On the other side, Tiancheng Guang was already shaking his head with a light smile.

"... Ha, sorry, Guang, I prepared a super strong opponent for you!" Fubuki gave a thumbs up, rushing.

"What are you saying? That's not the case at all." Tiancheng Guang shook his head, "Every opponent is very strong, and I can't guarantee I'll definitely win."

"That's true—Senior Fubuki, you're going to prepare for the revival tournament next, right? If nothing goes wrong, based on your performance..." Misawa Daichi recalled the duel between Kaiser and Fubuki earlier and shook his head repeatedly.

He couldn't imagine the possibility of Fubuki failing the revival tournament.

"Ah, that—I gave it up."

"Huh?" Several friends were startled.

Fubuki shook his head helplessly while moving his hands: "Look, I'm sitting in a wheelchair now, how could I possibly duel again? The doctor said my current state will last at least a week, and that's the optimistic scenario.

So there's definitely no way to participate, right? So I just forfeited."

After finishing, he didn't know how he put away the rose in his hand, moving so fast that he dazzled the people around him.

Afterward, he put his hands behind his head and said: "What a pity... I originally hoped to duel Asuka. Completely eliminate her, and then take a photo in front of her face—it would definitely sell for a high price!"

"Brother!!" Asuka completely lost her temper and tapped the back of the wheelchair lightly.

"Hahaha~~"

Tiancheng Guang listened to his words, but instead of laughing awkwardly like the others, he thought about the implication of Fubuki's words.

Fubuki originally wanted to duel Kaiser first, and then duel Asuka through his own strength, in order to complete his goals one by one.

Fubuki sighed, but didn't say it out loud.

Although, given his relationship with Tiancheng Guang, if he asked Tiancheng Guang, he could definitely get Tiancheng Guang to help.

But—

If Tiancheng Guang were to deliberately hide his strength or even throw the match to enter the loser's bracket just to help him, that would be unacceptable to him as well.

And after this.

He felt very regretful.

He was certain that the current Asuka could absolutely not walk out of the loser's bracket.

Therefore, no matter who Tiancheng Guang's "eighth opponent" was in the next round after defeating Jim, it could not be Tenjoin Asuka.

But, perhaps there was no need to be so anxious.

After all, Asuka was only in her second year; she still had a year and a half, and plenty of time to think.

At this moment, on the other side, Kaiser, who had finished talking with the doctor, walked over with a pile of medical records and pills.

Manjoume and Misawa clearly felt an invisible pressure. Kaiser, who had integrated the Cyber style, was undoubtedly one of the strongest contenders for the championship!

Kaiser exchanged glances with them, seeing the fighting spirit in their eyes. He didn't say anything, greeted everyone, talked to Fubuki about the doctor's orders, and told Fubuki about the more important things in the report the doctor mentioned.

Afterward, everyone chatted briefly. Although there were many old stories to talk about, they would be opponents after all, and the two days of rest could not be wasted, so after visiting Fubuki, everyone left quickly.

And after the other two left, Tiancheng Guang looked at Kaiser and took out two cards: "Kaiser, I have something I want to ask you."

He took out two 【Number】 cards, a trace of pain appearing on his face, but he quickly suppressed it.

Kaiser narrowed his eyes, his face, which had just relaxed, immediately tightened again.
