Chapter 199: Academy Intrusion

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Asuka and Misawa both showed expectant faces.

After all, that is Kaiba Seto, the man at the pinnacle of this world. Everyone would be interested in any anecdotes about such a legend, not to mention that it also involves a classmate around them.

"Then you want me to tell the truth?" Zhang Ka said with a solemn face.

Both of them smelled the taste of gossip and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, then I'll say it."

Zhang Ka took a deep breath and said leisurely.

"Actually..."

Both held their breath.

"... I'm really not familiar with Kaiba Seto."

"."

Zhang Ka sighed. Sure enough, looking at the expressions of the two, he knew that no one would ever believe the truth.

Not only has he not spoken a few words to the President, he doesn't even have his contact information. If he had to say something, he just got familiar with Mokuba...

The two were skeptical.

"Really?"

"Really." Zhang Ka said.

"Then is it true or false that he gave you a large scholarship?"

"... True."

"His sponsorship for our laboratory?"

"... True."

"Some people say that many of your rare cards were also obtained through internal channels of Kaiba Corporation..."

"... Also true."

Both: "."

"Ahem, but I heard that Kaiba Seto is actually a very difficult person to get along with." Misawa said, "It is said that even with the Duel King Yugi Mutou and others, their relationship was not very good. Everyone in the entire Kaiba Corporation is afraid of him..."

Actually, this is also a point that many people have always been curious about. Kaiba Seto is not only famous for his dueling strength, but his bad temper is also famous. To be able to get benefits from him time and time again, how close must they be?

But Zhang Ka shook his head: "Just rumors."

"So he is actually not that kind of person?"

"That's not necessarily true." Zhang Ka thought for a while, "If I have to say... that's his mask."

"Mask?"

Misawa and Asuka looked at each other, feeling puzzled.

"Kaiba Seto is not what you think." Zhang Ka smiled, "You know, Kaiba Corporation was originally an arms dealer, right?"

This is already old news known to the world, and both nodded.

Kaiba Seto and his brother were actually adopted, adopted from an orphanage by the previous generation arms tycoon Gozaburo Kaiba.

Originally, when Gozaburo promised to adopt him, he also had his own calculations. He wanted to use Kaiba's body as a container for his real son Noah, who died in a car accident. Gozaburo wanted to download Noah's electronic consciousness into Kaiba's body and use Kaiba's body as a container for resurrection.

But he didn't expect the President to be like a cheater, secretly controlling the entire company in his teens, forcing the old guy to death and becoming the new President. The old guy's calculations failed, and he could only die with hatred.

Zhang Ka said: "Kaiba Seto took over such a behemoth-level enterprise at the age of sixteen, and all resources and foundations could only be obtained by his own hard work.

And he insisted on making a group of guys who had been selling arms for most of their lives obey his orders, making a group that built planes and cannons switch to researching card games... If he didn't behave as perverse and ruthless as the rumors, it would be impossible, right?"

The two pondered and looked at each other again.

They felt that this made sense.

Moreover, the President was originally a traditional tsundere, and he would never admit his inner thoughts in person.

The most representative one is that he calls Joey a "trash" all day long, and even rated him as the lowest 2-star during the duelist rating.

However, when he saw Joey's soul being drawn away in the Doma arc, his first reaction was instinctively surprised, saying "Even the trash lost?".

So Joey in the President's heart is actually a world-class duelist, it's just that he refuses to admit it on his lips.

"So if what everyone sees usually is a mask, then what is the real Kaiba Seto like?" Asuka asked.

"Who knows?" Zhang Ka shrugged, "Once a mask is worn for a long time, it's not so easy to take it off."

A brief silence.

However, Misawa spoke: "So you know that Kaiba Seto so well..."

The second half of the sentence was not finished, but the meaning was obvious.

You still say you are not familiar?

Zhang Ka: "."

A harsh alarm sounded suddenly, like a sharp blade cutting through the quiet night sky, echoing layer upon layer in this forest like an echo in a valley, endless.

"This is... the academy's intrusion alarm?" Misawa's face changed.

Asuka also frowned: "An alarm that only sounds in an emergency... what happened?"

A mechanical female voice came from the speaker: "All students please note, all students please note. Duel Academy has been invaded by unknown personnel, please all students return to their respective dormitories to stand by immediately upon hearing the news.

The intrusion incident will be handled by the Academic Affairs Department..."

"Intrusion? Duel Academy?"

Asuka's expression was a bit worried.

"But who could it be? Why target Duel Academy..."

"Who knows?" Zhang Ka shrugged.

There are too many reasons why this island might be targeted.

"In short, for the sake of caution," Misawa stood up, "let's return to our dormitories as required."

Principal's office.

Principal Sheppard stood by the window, looking out with a worried expression. The sky had already darkened, and thick clouds swallowed the horizon, leaving only a dim background color. Thunderclouds rolled in the sky, like a giant beast provoked.

"A storm is coming..."

The office door opened. Professor Crowler entered the room in a hurry.

"What's the situation, Principal?" Crowler asked as soon as he entered, "What's the situation with the academy being invaded? Why suddenly ask students to return to the dormitory?"

"Calm down, Professor. The specific situation is not yet known, only that unauthorized people have broken into the academy, and the number and origin are unknown.

But the Academic Affairs Department has already been dispatched to investigate, and I believe they should be able to lock onto the other party very soon."

Professor Crowler stood at attention: "Then please be sure to send me to join the operation, Principal. I, Vellian Crowler, will never allow anyone to touch a finger of our students!"

"I understand your mood, Professor Crowler. However, let's observe the situation for now, and I will notify you if necessary."

"Okay, Principal."

Crowler then lowered his voice.

"By the way, Principal, could the other party be targeting those three cards?"

Principal Sheppard pondered for a moment.

"I don't think so, it doesn't match the methods of 'that group of people'." Principal Sheppard shook his head and said, "But just in case, I have already arranged for manpower to go to the 'Sealed Land' to check the situation."

After a pause, he said with a solemn expression.

"No matter what happens, the seal of those three cards must not be lost."
