Chapter 854: Girl, Do You Want to Join Me?
Lost again.
Akiza Izinski knelt on the ground with her legs bent outward, looking up at the sky.
If the second round confirmed anything to her, it was probably the chasm in strength between the two sides.
It wasn't a distance she could cross by just working a little harder or exploding with potential. This person was on a completely different level from all the opponents she had fought so far, far too different.
In the first round, the opponent deliberately chose a Plant deck to fight her in a civil war. At first, she thought it was just mockery, but later she realized it might be that the opponent wanted to tell her about her own weakness.
Yes, she had always hated and excluded her own power, so the strength she could naturally exert was also limited by herself. Her development of her own potential was not even one-tenth of what it could be, and even the Plant deck she was proud of was not used as skillfully as she imagined.
The opponent showed her stronger power and a higher ceiling, telling her this.
But the premise for being able to do this was naturally that the opponent was fundamentally much stronger than her, so strong that he didn't need to use his usual deck, and could pass thoughts to her through dueling while holding a playful attitude.
This is what is called ease.
This feeling was even more obvious in the duel just now. The opponent was telling her something through the duel again, making her remember her long-sealed dreams and the starting point of why she embarked on the path of a duelist.
After achieving the goal, the opponent ended the duel casually, and the whole process gave people a feeling of "a mere effort."
Right, and Sayer...
I don't know why, but after losing this time, she wasn't as angry as last time, and even the sadness and hatred seemed to have dissipated quite a bit.
It was as if the part of her heart that had become empty after Sayer's death had been filled by something else.
"Officer Goodwin" slowly walked in front of her.
The girl looked up, met the Officer's eyes, and was speechless for a moment.
"Are you interested," the Officer suddenly spoke, calmly, "in working for me?"
Akiza: "..."
She suddenly felt that this Officer's brain circuit might not be quite normal.
Although she didn't know why the hatred had dissipated a little, and her emotions had calmed down, they were ultimately enemies.
Sayer was the one who took her in when she was at her most difficult, and in a way, it was as if he had replaced the position of the father who abandoned her (she felt she was abandoned). If she had to say so, then this person in front of her should be considered a mortal enemy.
And such a guy, after killing Sayer, knowing that they had a deep blood feud, could actually throw an olive branch so casually...
What kind of shameless guy could do such a thing?
"Just as I said before, Signers are warriors of protection for generations," Fujiki You Xuan said, "Soon, a huge darkness will probably come."
"That will also be the fated moment for you Signers, to face your fated enemies and dispel the darkness shrouding this world.
Whether you are willing or not, the enemies named 'Dark Signers' will find you, and fighting is your destiny."
Fujiki You Xuan paused and said in a low voice.
"Join us, and the Security Bureau will also use the resources in our hands to provide help for your battles. In fact, you should have already noticed a bit by now, the Fortune Cup was originally a competition held for this purpose."
"Gather all the Signers, awaken your power through collision with each other, so that you can fight against the huge darkness that is about to destroy this world."
Akiza said coldly: "If such a world is destroyed, let it be destroyed. Why should I fight for a world that hates me?"
"This answer should be told to me by you," Fujiki You Xuan smiled slightly, "Well, you should have already understood through the duel just now, right?"
Akiza: "..."
Yes, she wanted to be a duelist, a duelist who is recognized by everyone, admired, and shining, not like now, being called a "witch" wherever she goes.
"If you win, the Security Bureau will let the world know the truth," Fujiki You Xuan said calmly, "Everyone will know who stood up at the darkest moment."
"Citizens will also recognize the hero who saved this city."
Fujiki You Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, facing the direction of the arena. At this moment, Fudo Yusei's portrait was hanging in all the floating projections above the arena.
Fudo Yusei from the Satellite, still bearing the mark as a lower-class person, stood out and fought his way to the Fortune Cup champion position, and then won the qualification to challenge the King.
Although not all, some people in the audience had already begun to call Yusei's name.
"Let me tell you another secret," Fujiki You Xuan smiled and looked at Akiza, "The King, Jack Atlas, is also a man from the Satellite."
Akiza: "!"
This was explosive news in New Domino City, which now respected the King. The pinnacle of this city, the King of Dueling created by the Security Bureau as a symbol of the city, was actually from the lowliest Satellite?
"With the ability of the Security Bureau, even a poor person from the Satellite can be created into a myth of a King. As long as it is gold, we can make it shine. Of course, the premise is that you can prove that you are gold."
Fujiki You Xuan paused and looked back at Akiza again.
"So the question now is, are you?"
Akiza: "..."
The girl still didn't say anything.
"Of course, you don't need to make a decision now. You can see some things before deciding."
Fujiki You Xuan waved his hand.
"After the competition, you can go back and see, return to your 'companions' in the Arcadia Movement. Go back, and you will see what you should see."
This was also considered an order to evict guests. Akiza hesitated for a while, but in the end, she didn't say anything and got up and left silently.
There was nothing to say.
She couldn't beat this person, this was already an obvious fact, and she didn't even have a chance to fight him with her life.
But clearly, he was such a strong guy, a person who completely crushed her in dueling, ability, and power, yet he was surprisingly patient with her.
Akiza was also curious about what else he wanted her to see.
However, she still listened to Fujiki You Xuan and didn't leave the stadium immediately.
The Signer mark was stinging faintly, as if telling her that there were still some important moments in the upcoming competition that she couldn't ignore.
The Signers who had already surfaced all appeared in this competition. Jack Atlas, Fudo Yusei, Akiza, and that little girl Ruka.
It is said that there are five Signers in total, and there is one last one left, maybe he is already here.
Akiza already felt that something might happen in the upcoming finals.
