Chapter 243
"This is the last message sent back by our card professor three days ago."
In the sealed conference room, the holographic projection of Tianma Tiamen Yexing sat on one side of the conference room, saying with a serious expression.
"We have been following up on the investigation of the hacker intrusion event AI, and the clues led us to investigate Fengming City," Tiamen Yexing said in a deep voice, "One of our card professors went to investigate, but encountered unexpected resistance.
Now he has lost contact."
"Was he attacked?" Keipa, sitting on the other side of the conference table, frowned.
Kaiba Seto said: "Understood, the Kaiba Corporation side will also conduct an investigation."
"No, that is the problem, President Kaiba," Tiamen Yexing shook his head and lowered his voice, "The last message sent back by our card professor before losing contact mentioned some dark duelists.
Some hired killer duelists, the kind that specifically accept commissions to do things."
"So your person was taken care of by killers?" Keipa asked.
"We think so. So afterwards, we compared and confirmed based on the last message sent back by the card professor, tracked the relevant capital chain, and then accidentally investigated the client who paid the killers..."
"Who is it?" Keipa asked.
Tiamen Yexing paused for a few seconds.
"... Kaiba Corporation."
Kaiba Seto narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Impossible," Keipa said, "We have never done such a thing."
"That is what I believe as well," Tiamen Yexing nodded.
Keipa was stunned.
"You mean to say..."
"There is a mole inside Kaiba Corporation."
Kaiba said softly, followed by a contemptuous hum, as if this was not a big deal.
"Understood, then I will handle this matter personally," Kaiba said coldly, "It just so happens that I also have some accounts to settle with the guy behind the scenes."
"It seems the President knows something?" Tiamen Yexing asked.
"Just a guess; when it is confirmed, you will naturally know," Kaiba said.
"I understand," Tiamen Yexing nodded, "Then I wish the President success."
After speaking, the holographic projection disappeared.
Keipa stood up: "So, are we going to Fengming City?"
"Yes. This matter must be ended by our own hands," Kaiba said lightly.
"Also..."
Keipa thought for a moment.
"However, I also promised Fujiki You Xuan that I would tell him if there was any progress. After all, he is also a target of the enemy. Should we call him?"
Kaiba pondered for two seconds.
Then he hummed and laughed.
"Do as you please."
The battle with Judai was not just a duel for Fujiki You Xuan. Judai didn't care that much about winning as a representative, and Fujiki You Xuan was the same. What they cared more about was the duel itself.
He had long felt that the duel with Judai might bring him some insights. As a summary of what he had learned and practiced throughout this semester, it might bring more improvement.
Sure enough, this conjecture was correct, and it was even more than that.
During the duel, he felt as if he had been infected by Judai's enthusiasm, as if he himself couldn't help but be more invested in the duel itself. Let himself be immersed in every draw, every attack, and every exchange, rather than calculating the results and caring about the victory itself when playing every card and taking every step.
Sure enough, no matter how much theory you learn, it is still not as good as the insights from actual combat. This mysterious feeling cannot be understood by any number of courses or sharing by experts; only by experiencing it personally and remembering it with your heart and body can you deeply comprehend it.
Although there was no actual evidence, Fujiki You Xuan felt as if he had broken through a bottleneck, just like a breakthrough in realm. Even the connection with the spirits seemed to have become closer.
It even made him have new thoughts, starting to consider whether he could take another step toward the next stage he had never dared to step into—
——Trying to mix different decks.
This might be a step that one has to take to rank among the top in this world. The mixing of multiple series can bring more possibilities, increase the upper limit of the deck, and reduce the possibility of "the whole family can't pass a certain field."
Of course, it is still unlikely to truly achieve the situation of "being able to solve any field." To achieve that point, one can only rely on card printing, which is something that can only be done at a higher realm.
Fujiki You Xuan only had a preliminary thought, and it would take more time and energy to build and test it if he wanted to put it into practice.
However, just the second day after such a thought popped up, he was greeted by the enthusiastic greetings of his little friends.
"Bring a Ballet Skirt!" Asuka enthusiastically showed Fujiki You Xuan her Ballet Skirt.
Of course, it wasn't a real skirt, but "Cyber Tutu." ATK 1000, can attack directly if all monsters on the opponent's field have higher ATK than itself.
"Doesn't Fujiki You Xuan like cards that can attack directly?" Asuka recommended enthusiastically, "Bring one of these; the power of a direct attack is different after all."
Fujiki You Xuan: "..."
This thing isn't a rare card either; if he wanted it, he would have brought it long ago. But honestly, it feels inferior to the invincible submarine...
Misawa also handed over his soul card: "Then take my Water Dragon too. It's a great weapon against Fire attributes. In case the opponent is really Fire attribute, it will come in handy!"
Fujiki You Xuan: "..."
Brother, why don't you take a look at the summoning conditions for your Water Dragon yourself?
"This card can only be Special Summoned by the Magic Card 'Bonding - H2O'."
Bonding - H2O, tribute two "Hydrogeddon" and one "Oxygeddon" on your field to Special Summon one "Water Dragon."
If it were the physical card environment, it would be almost impossible to summon. And Fujiki You Xuan thought that even if I practiced a special combo 502 sticky hand god-draw stunt, I don't seem to have any reason to summon this thing...
It's a typical thing that consumes resources and effort to summon, and it's useless after it's made.
It's just that for the sake of Misawa's face, I can't say it directly: I think your Tamashii is too weak, I really can't carry it...
Seeing that the two here were also extremely enthusiastic, Hayato-san on the side of the classroom couldn't help but lean forward: "Then my Koala also..."
Marufuji Sho also wanted to join in the fun: "Then my Vehicroid..."
Halfway through, he realized, oh wait, Fujiki You Xuan originally played Vehicroid, and he played it more famously than him in the academy.
Especially the submarine and the bicycle, which had already become one of the well-known labels of the Lord of the Yellow Dorm...
Then it's fine.
Fujiki You Xuan said with a chuckle: "Then why don't I just shuffle your decks together and play whatever I draw?"
Unexpectedly, several people showed excitement.
"Really?"
"This is a good idea," Dr. Misawa began to analyze seriously, "The decks of us few mixed together can be said to be firm with softness, soft with firmness, yin and yang combined, offensive and defensive, and perfectly complementing each other..."
"Oh right," Hayato hammered his palm with his fist, "As expected of Fujiki You Xuan, he proposed another good idea. When the representative duel comes, the style will be ever-changing, and the style will be different every turn. The opponent will definitely be surprised and caught off guard...
Student Fujiki You Xuan, what do you think? Can this work?"
Fujiki You Xuan smiled.
Work your head, work.
He suddenly realized that his thinking was still conservative. He had just made such a casual sarcasm because he felt that this was simply a brain-dead proposal that could not be considered at all. Unexpectedly, several people were actually thinking so seriously about the possibility of letting Fujiki You Xuan take their hodgepodge deck to play cards...
But when he thought about it, it was true. Back then, when Kaiba only had 100 LP left and couldn't continue the duel, Yami Yugi took Kaiba's deck, shuffled it into his own, took over Kaiba's duel, and actually played it quite well, finally making a limit comeback.
Yugi was originally playing a deck mixed with a bunch of axes, and Kaiba's deck at that time was also a deck of unknown meaning. How many cards would be normal if the two decks were shuffled together, but in Yugi's hands, they could actually cooperate...
Fujiki You Xuan deeply realized that his pattern was small.
"So that's it," Fujiki You Xuan pondered, "A true duelist must be good at letting any deck shine in his hands..."
"Yes, yes," Asuka said eagerly, "Then, do you agree that you can take my Cyber Tutu to fight together?"
Misawa: "And my Water Dragon."
Hayato: "And my Koala."
Fujiki You Xuan returned a polite smile to them.
Heh heh.
"Alright, stop bothering him. Let Fujiki You Xuan decide the deck himself."
Judai appeared at this time, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Academy representative or whatever doesn't matter at all. Dueling, it's most important to be happy yourself."
He gave Fujiki You Xuan a thumbs up.
"If it's Fujiki You Xuan, he will definitely show us super interesting duels again, right?"
Fujiki You Xuan smiled and didn't speak.
Judai is still more reliable.
Just at this moment, a message came to the terminal on his body.
He took it out and opened it, and it was actually a message from Keipa.
"There is progress in the last incident. Are you coming?"
