Chapter 151

Actually, although the Master Tianma Tiamen Yexing who first appeared in the original work was a villain, the Tiamen Yexing Fujiki You Xuan actually met gave him a pretty good first impression.

He was very polite and courteous, and most importantly, he was generous.

After the card game was over, Tiamen Yexing didn't say a word, and without much delay, he went directly to take out a limited-edition super-rare card personally reprinted by Master Tianma, 【Thousand-Eyes Restrict】.

This card was a legendary monster. First of all, this should be the trump card of the first chapter boss in the history of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, and the mystery and pressure created when it first appeared in Master Tianma's hands might have inspired the shaping of many subsequent villain monsters.

From the perspective of the card pool, this card was the first Fusion Monster in history to be listed as a Forbidden card, sitting in the "little black room" for ten long years of iron bars, until it was released in 2016.

And its effect of being able to "absorb opponent's monsters as equipment" could also be considered the originator of NTR to a certain extent, and it was the pioneer of many monsters with similar effects in later generations.

Overall, Fujiki You Xuan was quite satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

The Kaiba Corporation and Master Tianma Tiamen Yexing had also temporarily formed an alliance against anti-hacker forces. Tiamen Yexing seemed to believe that the incident was caused by an AI with super-era levels, which the Kaiba side was still skeptical about, but after consultation, both sides decided to temporarily cooperate on this matter and form a unified front against the AI.

However, that part was naturally left to the big shots to get busy with. Fujiki You Xuan finished the card game and got the reward, then boarded the helicopter arranged by Mokuba and flew directly back to the academy.

It was already late at night when he returned to the island. He was quite tired after playing cards today, and there were classes early tomorrow morning, so Fujiki You Xuan returned to the dormitory, washed up simply, and rested.

Then he returned to the daily life of studying hard and playing cards happily at the Duel Academy.

This trip to the Kaiba Corporation made him more convinced of the effectiveness of his current study and life planning. The battle with Tiamen Yexing made him feel that the time spent in the academy so far had not been wasted; both his own strength as a duelist and the strength of his deck had grown visibly.

But the more he progressed, the more he realized that the road ahead was still long, and there was still a lot of room for improvement in the future. If he wanted to rank among the top in this world and become a powerhouse at the highest level, there was still a long way to go.

Fujiki You Xuan focused on studying and practicing, and things in the academy were also developing.

These past two days, he heard people say that Manjoume seemed to have gone missing.

It seemed that the world line converged; although the process was different, Manjoume still walked a similar growth path.

The poor child had been an elite for the first half of his life, but since coming to the Duel Academy, he had been beaten every day, and he had become autistic from the beating. Those students who used to respect him and be very polite to him gradually became cold as his evaluation from the professors declined day by day.

Manjoume went to Professor Chronos in a huff, wanting to apply for a chance to fight Jaden Yuki again to regain his ground, but the professor refused.

The reason was, anyway, you'll probably just lose if you go up. Instead of thinking about finding a poor student to play cards with, you should worry about your own grades; if this continues, you might fall to the Slifer Red dormitory soon.

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Manjoume.

Fall to Red? Him, a top elite?

He could not accept it!

The next day, no one saw Manjoume again.

After Fujiki You Xuan heard about it, he guessed that Manjoume had probably sailed out to sea. Next, he would encounter a shipwreck and drift to the North Academy of the Duel Academy, where he would encounter the spirit of destiny, Ojamas...

Well, this was all world line convergence, things that were supposed to happen originally.

It absolutely had nothing to do with him.

Jaden Yuki was enthusiastic; after hearing that Manjoume was missing, he ran to the nearby forest to search everywhere. However, halfway through the search, he encountered a monkey wearing a Duel Disk, and Jaden, who was surprised to find that he could play cards with the monkey, immediately threw the whereabouts of his good brother to the back of his mind and began to play cards happily with the monkey...

The anime said that there was a research institute on the Duel Academy island, specifically researching the topic of "whether monkeys have higher spirit affinity than humans". So the main task of the researchers was to teach monkeys to play cards...

You can never imagine what other strange facilities are hidden on this island.

Fujiki You Xuan's main daily routine now was attending classes, printing cards, and in his spare time, going to his own laboratory to study and conduct research with his colleagues, and he also roped in Professor Banner as a guide.

At the same time, card drawing practice was also a key project. He felt that he had more insights into "divine draws" now than before he entered the academy, and drawing cards itself was also a process of grinding between the duelist, the deck, and the spirits.

Of course, practicing purely against the wall was just armchair strategy, so regular actual combat was definitely indispensable. Therefore, Fujiki You Xuan also set a requirement in his training schedule to have at least one actual combat training session every day.

It was just that there was a slight problem with the actual combat opponent part.

His first choice of opponent was naturally in the Dueling Club; after all, dueling exchange was the reason for this club's existence.

However, as he insisted on playing cards every day, a strange phenomenon gradually appeared.

When he caught an opponent during a duel, a swarm of people would immediately surround them, pointing and laughing, just like watching a show in the square, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

But whenever Fujiki You Xuan's opponent put on a mask of pain and was beaten to the ground, Fujiki You Xuan, who had completed his daily training with satisfaction, turned his head to find the next victim... ah no, the next respectable opponent, he would immediately find that the onlookers had scattered.

Some had soup simmering on the stove, some had their girlfriends calling, some forgot to collect their quilts; anyway, they all ran away in the blink of an eye.

So Fujiki You Xuan began to reflect on whether it was inappropriate to always catch the same batch of sheep to shear. Perhaps he should consider expanding his target pool.

Then, this day happened to be the daily laboratory research session, and while chatting with two colleagues during work, he casually mentioned this problem.

"The newcomers in the academy now are really something, I don't even know what they are here for."

Fujiki You Xuan shook his head as soon as he brought it up.

"What are you here for if you don't want to duel? Everyone is not enterprising, it's really..."

Misawa and Asuka looked at each other.

Although that was true, they felt that what Fujiki You Xuan said seemed reasonable, but at the same time, they also felt that if the opponent was this guy, it was understandable that the victims didn't want to play cards...

"But having said that, it doesn't have to be the Dueling Club." Asuka said. "After all, this is a Duel Academy. It is said that there are many different clubs, but basically all clubs are free to duel normally.

For example, the Tennis Club held an internal competition last week. Oh right, even the Student Council seems to have held an internal competition, and I heard that the quality of their rare card inventory in the Student Council is quite good, and their extra credits and management permissions are also higher than other departments..."

Fujiki You Xuan stood up with a start, which startled her.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Asuka, you are really too genius." He said seriously.

Asuka: "?"

Is... is that so?

Saying it so seriously suddenly made her feel a little embarrassed.

"No... not really..."

But Fujiki You Xuan had already stopped paying attention to her and stood up to start packing his things.

"By the way, where is the Student Council office again? Are they still recruiting people now?"

"Uh, it's on the second floor of the teaching building, it's written on the sign on the left side of the stairs..." Misawa also said with a strange expression.

"Okay, thanks. Then I'll go first since I have something to do today."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled at them.

"See you tomorrow."

Fujiki You Xuan's back disappeared outside the door.

Misawa and Asuka looked at each other again.

Suddenly, for a moment, Asuka strangely felt.

Did she accidentally say something she shouldn't have...
