Chapter 244: The Quarterfinals Begins!
Chapter 1298 The quarterfinals begin!
Duel Academy Island, Osiris-Red Dormitory on the coast.
"Today is another day full of hope and hope!"
As the rising sun spread its light into the room along the cracks in the curtains, Judai had no intention of staying in bed and jumped out of bed happily, shouting slogans excitedly to usher in a new day.
Although Sho Marufuji, who was in the same room with him, had also woken up a little early, he still huddled lazily in the quilt and didn't want to come into contact with the cold air outside. Seeing Judai getting out of bed so energetically, he rubbed his eyes. He didn't wear glasses and couldn't see very far away due to myopia. He half-squinted his eyes and said: "Brother, you are really energetic. It's still so early, and you haven't seen it today either." what class"
"Although it is true that there are no classes today, Xiang, you must have forgotten why there are no classes today, right?" Although Maeda on the top bunk looks big, his movements are quite gentle and smooth as he folds the quilt on the bed. It gave Sho Marufuji a sense of sway below, "You were obviously working hard to be shortlisted a few days ago."
"Ah, I remembered, the selection competition is over today, right? Then, the official quarter-finals will begin." Maeda Hayato's reminder made Marufuji Sho also think about what day today is, "No wonder, brother So excited because he finished second and entered the quarterfinals.”
"But it's really strange to say it. I've obviously shown such awareness before. If it were an anime or a novel, it would at least have a popular supporting character, right? In that case, shouldn't I be like my eldest brother? Are you going to show up in the quarter-finals?" Sho Marufuji sat up from the bed with an unwilling expression on his face, "It doesn't matter if he is eliminated by some powerful opponent later on. There can even be a "Death of Sho Marufuji" or something like that. The plot then asks my eldest brother to help me get revenge or something.”
"In the end, even though I worked so hard, I didn't even make it to the top eight?"
"Xiang, you said it's a novel or anime. No matter how you think about it, it can't be the same as reality. 'There must be something wrong with the brains of people who seek reality in an illusory world.'" From the above. After laying down the bed, Maeda Hayato patted Marufuji Sho's shoulder, "However, in the early stages of the trials, I didn't improve my ranking at all, but in the last half month, I took advantage of others' slack to improve my ranking to the top ten. Sho, you have already Well done.”
"Although it does make me feel comforted, I am still not willing to accept it." Sho Marufuji sighed and looked at Judai who had quickly changed into pajamas. "Brother, you must take me and Maeda with you. Let’s fight together, we will cheer for you.”
"Oh! I also want to fight a few more duels, and I will win all the way. And Caesar is also waiting for me to meet in the finals." Judai turned his head at a 45° angle, making people worried. His neck, "will win!"
————The dividing line of victory declaration after awakening————
"By the way, who is the strongest student in the school?"
"It must be Lord Caesar."
"Although it depends on the situation, I personally think it's Kaiser Liang."
"Isn't it Caesar? But it's a different matter if Judai is included."
As soon as Asuka's words came out, for a moment, Junko Makurada and Momoe Hamaguchi, who had been chatting animatedly just now, stopped talking and turned to look at Asuka: "Huh?"
"Although the reputation of Yujo in the red dormitory in the school seems to be improving little by little, in the end, his strength is only based on the red dormitory he is in, right?" Momoe said strangely, "Why? Asuka, do you think that Yujo can be compared with Caesar?"
"Momoe is a fan of Kaiser-senpai, which is a little biased." Junko crossed her arms in front of the heart, "But even Junko, from an objective point of view, that Yujo Judai can compete with Huang Dormitory Misawa Sky and Wan Zhangmu from Blue Dormitory are on par, but they are only stronger among first-year students. Can they really be compared with Kaiser-senpai?”
"Obviously, in the previous duel, we relied on Senior Kaiser to win."
"That's not the case. I was clearly helping you two explain and analyze the duel with the Maze Brothers. Judai also had to work very hard to win." Asuka said helplessly as she looked at her two best friends. , "After all, Junko and Momoe, your grades really need to be improved. If you don't work hard, it's not impossible to regress to the yellow dormitory."
"You don't want that kind of thing. Teacher Aoki, the dormitory leader in the yellow dormitory, looks so boring." Junko shuddered, "There's always a chance that if you stay in the yellow dormitory, you'll become just like Teacher Aoki and become so tired that you can only get hard." It’s a social beast, or even the sense of existence has been absorbed, and even the name can’t be pronounced correctly.”
"Is that some new campus legend?" Momoe complained, but she suddenly smiled and leaned next to Asuka, hugged her arm and said, "Our level is only at that level. Well, long live the pass, long live the pass, even if someone bullies us, there will be the 'Snow Queen of the Blue Dormitory' to help us, right?"
"Who, who knows someone with that nickname?" Hearing Momoe's words, Asuka turned her head shyly and awkwardly, refusing to be associated with that strange and middle-class nickname.
"Hehe, Asuka, you are still so shy." Junko also moved to the other side of Asuka and said with a smile, "And the reason why you are so protective of Yujo-kun is because you are calling him directly when you talk about it, Asuka. His name is ‘Judai’~”
"It's just an ordinary friendship. Well, that's it." Asuka tried to keep a straight face, but no matter how hard she pretended to be serious, she still couldn't change the smiling expressions on the faces of her friends beside her. They were embarrassed and annoyed. Then, she simply chose to change the subject bluntly, "Anyway, I have to complete the final deck adjustment before the trial starts this morning, so don't disturb me."
Joking aside, Junko and Momoe did not continue to disturb Asuka who was sorting out her deck and the spare cards she planned to bring today. When Asuka's back was turned to them, the two of them gave a gentle high-five.
Asuka has such a strong personality. She has been very busy recently in order to break into the top eight of the academy exchange competition. After all, unlike boys who easily find opponents by making others angry, girls like Asuka find opponents to duel with. As you move up the rankings, you will always encounter some boys who look down on Asuka due to inexplicable sexism or chauvinism. They will even refuse to "waste time" in a duel with Asuka using reasons such as "I don't hit women."
It was also because Asuka was always tensed up and not relaxed at all during this period. Even after getting up this morning and confirming that she had been shortlisted for the quarterfinals, she was still too serious about preparing for today's official competition. Junko and Momoe specially asked Asuka to do so. Distract yourself a little, relax, and relieve excessive tension.
"Speaking of which, there are actually two girls among the students who entered the top eight this time." Looking at the top eight list on her phone, Junko whispered to Momoe in order to avoid disturbing Asuka who was concentrating, "Except for Asuka, There is also a girl from another branch.”
"I've seen it too, is it Riki Mackenzie from the Western Branch?" Baihui said, operating the buttons on the phone with one hand and flipping through the content displayed on the screen. "There aren't many comments about it on the campus forum." The content of the opponent’s duel information is so mysterious.”
"Hmph, are all those boys' attention focused on that woman's appearance? Asuka is the beauty of our school, right? Otherwise Hinata-senpai is probably prettier than her?" Junko said, feeling a little unconfident. .
Although the little Hinata Seika-senpai with the nickname "Black Mamba" has won the honor of "Miss Duel Academy" for two consecutive years as a third-year student, and she indeed deserves this reputation, unlike some pure zzzq won the award.
(Immigration, transgender, obese, people of color, buff stacks)
However, what I have to admit is that this girl named Rikki Mackenzie, who is also a third-year student, is not bad in appearance. To be honest, Junko even thinks that she is prettier than Hinata Seika-senpai. Even when compared with Asuka, who has a friendship bonus in Junko's heart, it's hard to tell the difference because of her mature temperament.
("Black Mamba" Hinata Xinghua: What can I say?)
(Rikki Mackenzie, the unique blond hair addict of Red Eye, convinced)
"That's right, Asuka is the prettiest - although this year's 'Miss Duel Academy' will be won by Aunt Tami, someone must be taking advantage of their authority." Momoe said, flipping through her phone. "We are students of Duel Academy, and the most important thing is not appearance or strength."
"That's right! Someone took a photo of Senior Caesar taking a bath."
"Where is it? Send me a copy quickly!"
————The dividing line between Junko who has a nosebleed and looks for a tissue————
In Ryo Marufuji's dormitory, Tenjoin Fubuki sat on a chair without ceremony as if he were in his own dormitory, holding his chin with his hand as if he were a "thinker".
After getting up early and washing up, Marufuji Ryo walked out of the bathroom and looked at Fubuki, who had come to his room early in the morning: "Are you thinking about something, Fubuki?"
Fubuki nodded solemnly: "Obviously I took a selfie, why do other people on the forum only pay attention to you who was accidentally taken into the photo, but no one pays attention to me who is so handsome in the photo?"
"I don't even know where the end of the universe is, how can I know why?" Ryo Marufuji was not too surprised. It would be better to say that Fubuki had always been the kind of person in his impression who would do things in a serious manner. It was expected that people would think about such boring questions with a serious look on their face.
"That's so heartless, Ryo. Aren't we partners with the same ambitions?" Fubuki looked at Ryo Marufuji sadly, "You have forgotten the promise we made together to find someone to spend our lives with before graduation. Have you made an oath to your loved one?"
"Don't add a past that doesn't exist to me without permission. You are the only one who would want to do that kind of thing. I won't, Fujiwara."
Ryo Marufuji paused, and after a brief silence, he shook his head: "Don't you think about what time it was yesterday when you got stuck in the last eight and took me to a hot spring in the middle of the night to celebrate your entry? The original photo you posted has been pushed down by the new post.”
"But now only some of the screenshots of the photos I sent are being forwarded, which is still very annoying." Fubuki put his hands on his hips, "It's decided, Ryo, I'm going to defeat you head-on in the official competition and take away my popularity. return!"
"The emperor is my Heavenly Court Fubuki! This has never changed!"
"Ha, I'm also looking forward to dueling you again, Fubuki, but unfortunately someone has already made an agreement with me to fight in the finals, so I won't lose before then, even if the opponent is you. "Looking at his old friend, Marufuji also showed a smile that was rare for others, and even joked, "Besides, don't you plan to duel with the person in this year's top eight? "
"Asuka? Hum, my lovely sister has grown up a lot, and you don't need me, my brother, to worry about." Fubuki said easily.
But Ryo Marufuji's lips curled up: "I didn't say she was your sister, did I? How could I remember that at the college exchange competition two years ago, there was a person who had a great time communicating with the exchange students from the Western Branch? What’s that person’s name? Anyway, the exchange student’s last name seems to be Mackenzie?”
"Who, who knows someone with that last name?"
Although they were not at the same time or at the same place, the two brothers and sisters of Tianshangyuan gave almost the same reaction. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, the "Duel Academy Double Wall", " "King" Fubuki actually showed such a shy expression.
————The dividing line used to organize the deck as an excuse to run away ————
"Adhering to the concepts of 'higher', 'faster' and 'stronger' proposed by the Kaiba Group, Duel Academy has long been committed to"
"The major branch campuses and the main hospital have always maintained the principle of 'adapting measures to local conditions and complementing each other's advantages.'"
On the podium, he clearly started by saying, "I'll just say a few words," but after getting the microphone, he continued chattering endlessly. Sho Marufuji looked at Maeda next to him with a painful look on his face and said, "When every teacher gives a speech, Do they all talk that much? Or is it just Professor Kuronos?"
He hoped that Maeda would never reply to him with the line "It's always like this" that he remembered.
"Try to get used to it, Xiang. You will get used to it in three years." Maeda Hayato said with a smile, "I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to adapt to it. Every time there is a large-scale event, the teachers will come on stage and give long speeches. A little bit.”
"So, Maeda, are you used to it now?" Sho Marufuji asked curiously, receiving a bright smile from Hayato Maeda, "No, but I will go to the International Illusion Society to work next."
"Under the leadership of the principal, let's cough!" As he was talking, Professor Kuronos accidentally coughed twice because he talked too much, but he found that someone secretly took the water prepared by the podium. After leaving, he felt so uncomfortable that he could only add one more sentence, "Now please give us a few brief words from the principal."
Handing a bottle of water to Professor Kuronos, Hayato walked to the stage, looked at the crowded crowd below, and coughed lightly: "Ahem - the college exchange competition begins!"
