Chapter 1257: Playing with XX

"Do you want to make a card from scratch first?" Wan Zhangmu frowned.

"You want to defeat a duelist designated by the principal?" Sho Marufuji showed a horrified expression.

"You even asked for it to be within one day?" Asuka's face became a little serious.

After listening to Maeda Hayato's so-called "conditions", Misawa couldn't help but said: "Although it is an exception to recruit Maeda-san to become the card designer of the International Illusion Society, is this request really serious and not a joke?"

"If it's just the entrance examination for the International Illusion Society, it won't be that troublesome. After all, the person who invited me is Mr. Muto Yugi. All I need is a letter of recommendation from Duel Academy." Maeda Hayato replied, " Although Professor Kuronos seems to have some objections, Principal Kobayashi said that his power as principal is unlimited.”

"The main problem is that I have to prove myself to Dad. Dad is included in the list of duelists given by Principal Xiaolin. So, even though it is a very strict requirement, I still want to do my best as much as possible. Go get it done!"

Judai patted Maeda Hayato on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You just have to have such momentum. Don't worry, we will all help you."

"Wait a minute, please explain specifically what 'we' means, Yujo Judai?" Wan Zhangmu frowned and said to Judai, "I did it because you told me that you might be able to get a card that suits you. I only condescended to come to your red dormitory because of the enhanced cards in the deck, so don’t drag me into your plan as a coolie without permission.”

"What do you mean by 'condescending'? You come here often." Marufuji Sho complained at the side, while Judai put his arm on Wan Zhangmu's shoulder skillfully and said with a playful smile, "Don't be so cold. , Banzhangmu, I’m not lying to you, because Maeda hasn’t decided what card to make yet, so naturally he can help you make the card. In that case, wouldn’t it be possible for you to help out a little bit so that you can make it as soon as possible? Got the card."

"That seems to make sense." Wan Zhangmen nodded subconsciously, feeling that there was nothing wrong with Judai's words, but the next moment he threw Judai's arm off his shoulder with a straight face and dissatisfaction. He said quietly, "It's Mr. Wan Zhangmu!"

"You boys, are you all idiots?" Asuka covered her forehead and said helplessly, "Now shouldn't we first think about which duelist on the list to choose to challenge, and then decide whether to let Maeda duel by himself or not? Looking for someone to help with the duel, and finally seize the time to design and make the card?"

"The time limit is only one day, and there is not even a minute of free time that can be wasted at will."

"Tenjoin-san is so right." Sho Marufuji giggled like an idiot, mindlessly echoing Asuka's words. Although he had grown somewhat after the morning's duel with David Rabb, it was obvious that he still hadn't grown enough and still had some dog-licking temperament in his bones.

He looked at Maeda Hayato and said: "So Maeda, who are on the list given by Principal Kobayashi? Should we first investigate what decks those people are good at?"

"There's no need." At this time, Sanze, who had been standing by without anyone paying attention, put down the piece of paper on which he had written the famous list, closed the cap of the marker and knocked on the blackboard that had been full for some time. He said, "I have written all the information I have learned about the people on the list on the blackboard."

Judai scratched his head and was a little confused: "Huh? Si Zai? When did you come?"

In one sentence, Misawa broke his guard and said with an aggrieved face: "Didn't it Judai, you asked me on the way if I was free and could you come to help? I came here because it was rare for you to call me by my name right at that time. Yes, it doesn’t matter that you only noticed me now, why can’t I pronounce my name correctly now that I could pronounce it correctly before?”

"Forget it, I'm almost used to it." Suppressing his sadness, Misawa knocked on the full blackboard again, "Principal Kobayashi has five duelists for Maeda to choose from. Here we can first Cross out the names of Principal Kobayashi, who is obviously trying to make up the numbers, and Mr. Aoki, who is on a business trip again."

"The remaining three candidates are the dean of students, Professor Kuronos, the chef of the cafeteria, Mr. Ameruda, and Maeda-san's father, Kumazo Maeda."

"Why is there Mr. Ameruda in the cafeteria? Isn't he a chef?" Sho Marufuji said in confusion, and then suddenly realized, "Could it be that this is a loophole left by Principal Kobayashi to give us a particularly easy target to defeat? ? Then there is no doubt that it would be better to choose Mr. Ameruda.”

However, Misawa shook his head and typed the information he wrote next to Ameruda's name: "Although he seems to be an ordinary chef, I accidentally saw the legendary Kaibaze last time. The scene when Mr. Ren and Mr. Amaluda met, at that time Mr. Seto Kaiba was able to communicate with Mr. Amaluda with only a hint of pride and a tone that was close to equality."

"At that time, I noticed that Mr. Ameruda was anything but ordinary. Later, I spent a little time collecting information about him and discovered that he was at least a powerful duelist who could rival Seto Kaiba-san in the past. It can even be said that he was A being stronger than Professor Chronos, and the most difficult of the three options.”

"Really!? Is he better than Professor Chronos, the one who pinched his fingers and came out to fight with me when he heard I wanted to put pineapple on the pizza?"

Judai looked very surprised, and Asuka said helplessly: "Judai, you were lucky enough not to let Professor Chronos hear, otherwise they would both come to hunt you down."

"In that case, only Professor Chronos and that Maeda Kumazo are left, right?" Manjome said easily, "That guy Judai can defeat Chronos, and I should be able to do it easily, Mr. Manjome. It’s up to me to take the card specially customized for me and defeat Professor Kuronos.”

"Professor Kuronos is actually a very strong duelist, but he has never shown his true strength in a duel with us students." Asuka said this, but she was a little eager to try, "If it's Kuronos According to Professor North, I also want to try a duel and measure my measure."

As the game brought the deck to the island, one of the supplies that came with the ship included a batch of new card packs from the International Illusion Society. This morning Asuka bought a few packs of cards and luckily opened the enhancements she could use. Card, I really want to find someone to test the level of the adjusted deck.

If Judai hadn't been helping Maeda Hayato pass the exam, Asuka, whose personality was gradually led by Judai to become a bit of a fighting maniac, would have dragged Judai to a duel instead of being with the others in this empty classroom. Discussing how to let Maeda Hayato pass the test.

"Professor Kuronos, knowing that he was dueling us before with his hands in reserve, I also want to have another duel with him, with Professor Kuronos who really showed his full strength." Not only Asuka and Wan Zhang Mu, Judai also agreed with the choice of Professor Kuronos, and said with some eagerness to give it a try. But he still looked at Maeda Hayato and asked, "However, it's up to you, Maeda, to decide. Who do you prefer?"

Looking at the name of Professor Chronos on the blackboard, and then at his father's name, Maeda Hayato hesitated and couldn't make up his mind, and shook his head: "I don't know too well."

"Is that so?" He didn't force Maeda Hayato to make up his mind quickly. Judai thought about it, and the amazing wisdom in his mind suddenly gave him a special idea, and he said, "In this case, why don't we start over from the beginning? The first step is to make a card."

"After all, no matter who is going to appear in the duel with whom in the end, the prerequisite is that you have the card you created, Maeda, right?"

Speaking of the topic he cared about the most, Wanzhangmu immediately became energetic and said immediately: "Yes, making cards is very important. Maeda, please help me make a card that can negate the opponent's effect ten times in one round and will not be affected by it." Release a monster that will not be affected by any effects, will not be destroyed by battle, and has only level 1☆ and can be normally summoned!"

"By the way, it must be a dragon, and its attributes can be light or dark!"

"If you do this, first go back to your dormitory, turn on your computer, and then download a game called "Duel Monster League". Enter the ranking mode and select the mid lane position. After the match is successful, you will immediately select the monster [Elf Swordsman] for you. "The role." Asuka looked at Wan Zhangmu with contempt and complained, "This way if others say you have a brain problem, you can tell others that you play [Elf Swordsman] for fun."

"Huh? But I'm obviously playing [Armed Dragon] on the road?" Banzhangmu didn't understand what Asuka meant, and he only realized it the next moment, "No, are you trying to say there's something wrong with my brain?"

"That's almost it. After all, who in the right mind would make such an outrageous card? Even a third-rate card designer wouldn't be able to come up with such a setting, right?"

After Asuka's words fell, Maeda Hayato also explained to Wan Jangme: "Although Principal Kobayashi opened a special card production channel for me, so that I can quickly create cards by submitting designs and settings in school, but the duel Making monster cards is not as simple as just making whatever comes to mind.”

"Even if you don't need to draw the corresponding card according to the ancient slate like Mr. Bekas, but if you want to design a successful card, you must at least complete a self-consistent and balanced setting, as you said, Wan Zhangmu. Monsters are simply impossible to create.”

"In other words, the intensity can only be within a certain range, and settings such as card pictures must also be able to correspond and comply with certain rules." Misawa concluded, "It can only be activated at the cost of drawing two cards. , the effect is to draw two cards, and then the negative effect is to draw two more cards. This effect is impossible just thinking about it, and the same is true for monsters like Wan Zhangmu you mentioned."

"Also, although it is very metaphysical, Mr. Game told me that the production of cards also requires the devotion of the soul. The more effort the user and designer put into the card, the more likely it will be successfully produced. Otherwise, even if Even if the production is successful, the card is just an empty shell with an empty appearance.”

Once again using his amazing wisdom, Judai had an idea: "I completely understand, that is to say, if we design a prototype first and then you, Maeda, make it, the card that both parties have put their efforts into will be more likely to be Successful production, right? And it will be much easier to have the cards first and then design the effects.”

Maeda Hayato thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's almost it."

"Then what are you waiting for? I already have the inspiration!" Sho Marufuji said excitedly, "I have always felt that the [Robot] deck can be further enhanced. In addition to toy cars like [Bait Robot] , Maybe toys like yo-yos and tops can also be transformed into [robots], and cards with realistic prototypes may be easier for you to make, Maeda."

Banzhang glanced at Sho Marufuji, who had already drawn ancient toys from the last century on a piece of white paper, trying every means to make them look like [robots], and said disdainfully: "Wouldn't that look weaker? Is it possible that the [Robot] monster designed with a top can also be a [Cyber ​​Dragon] monster that can be specially summoned by itself without normal summoning? Add an effect of retrieving cards from the deck when the special summon is successful. Is it barely enough?"

"Instead of designing something like that, you could take a card like a fire truck and take it one step further and turn it into a super fire truck or some kind of rescue force."

Speaking casually, Wan Zhangmu also took a piece of white paper and started drawing: "Speaking of which, I remember Keith who was active in the World Professional Duelist Competition last year. The [Revolver Dragon] he used was a very good theme. , although the name has a dragon, it is a machine race. If you ask me to say, the elements of the firearms can be retained, but the race must be changed to the dragon race. Then the light attribute is very good, but the dark attribute is also okay, and by not changing the firearm but Change ammo to create a variety of different dragons"

Seeing that Wan Zhangmu was also writing and drawing, Asuka was in trouble and shook her head helplessly: "It's a pity. I probably don't have the talent in this area anymore. It's really difficult for me to imagine cards out of thin air."

While Judai was drawing something on the paper, he said to Asuka: "It doesn't have to be based on imagination. Teacher Hayato said that he has created cards based on a specific person more than once before. By adding the appearance of the card and the type of card you want, you can easily create a new card. It just gives people a subtle feeling of 'you have become a card somehow'."

After hearing Judai's words, Asuka also showed a look of realization.

After looking at Judai's paper, which was just a group photo of many of his favorite heroes, Asuka was also inspired. She looked at Judai's profile and started drawing on the paper.

——Using Judai’s appearance as the prototype, slightly modified it to look more like a girl, and then dressed up as a lively miko. The effect can be matched with the equipment card [Beloved Hero] that gave me an opportunity to get acquainted with Judai. Maybe it would be better to relate it. In Asuka's writing, there is also a prototype of her original duel monster that is being created bit by bit.

(Change your hair color and it’s Judai himself!)

Seeing that everyone else was creating with great inspiration, Misawa was in trouble. It's not that he has no inspiration. Although he has the thinking of a science student, it doesn't mean that Misawa's imagination is not rich. The problem is that Misawa actually has six decks in his hands. He actually has some inspiration for each attribute, but when it comes to giving them away, he doesn't know which one to choose.

At the same time, he didn't have many ideas to do anything. Instead, he and Maeda Hayato watched what others were drawing. At the same time, he also noticed that Maeda Hayato was distracted while looking at other people's paintings, and seemed to be thinking about something. .
