Chapter 381: Quarterfinals Opening
As night falls, the skyline is dyed hazy and mysterious by the faint purple clouds.
The huge and mysterious outline was like a fog passing through the coast, slowly approaching. Under the pressure of the huge hull, the sea water slowly parted, forming a thin water mark extending to the distant horizon. The sound of waves hitting the metal and the roar of machinery intertwined into a majestic symphony.
"Ohhh that's amazing!"
Judai could only widen his eyes as he watched the ship with the KC logo on it approach the shore.
"It's so big and powerful. It almost looks like a battleship, right?"
"This is the new round of competition in this Duel City, the Duel Ship!"
The seahorse was the first to board the ship.
"Duelists who have the courage to accept the highest level of trials, please step onto the stage of the final battle!"
The Judge followed behind him with his hands behind his back and an expressionless face. Loren followed closely behind him and also boarded the ship, but his eyes followed Kaiba from beginning to end.
Everyone boarded the ship one by one and the ship started moving.
After advancing to the quarterfinals of the first generation Duel City, Kaiba came here in an airship, and it seemed that there was a jet hidden in the airship, which was quite exaggerated.
"So that's how it is." You Xuan finally understood.
In any case, first take these dangerous people to a place far away from the city, so that even if the two sides really have a disagreement and go straight into Pokémon battle mode, it can avoid affecting the public.
Previously in Duel City, the snake god hadn't even made a full appearance yet, and he had only released a little storm, but it had caused a disaster that had to be suspended. No one knew what would happen if they fought head-on.
President Kaiba generously arranged a top-notch dinner for the advanced duelists, and the banquet restaurant on the top deck was shining.
A long table several dozen meters long was placed in the middle of the restaurant, covered with a white linen tablecloth. There were silver endpieces and crystal clear wine glasses, a variety of dishes on the table, and soft classical music flowing in the air.
Contestants were also allowed to bring one or two relatives or friends along, but You Xuan didn't have anyone he wanted to bring along, so this rule didn't matter to him.
However, Xiang Hongye did bring her relatives with her.
"Eh!?"
When Judai saw a female teacher with long black hair wearing a white shirt and high-waisted jeans appear in front of him with a smile, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Teacher? Why are you here to participate in the competition?"
That person was the teacher of the Duel Academy's Obelisk Blue Dormitory. Although Judai was mostly asleep in her class, the teacher was able to recognize him.
The female teacher smiled and said, "Student Judai has been in my class for a semester. I guess you still don't remember my name?"
Judai scratched his head embarrassedly: "Ahaha, the teacher saw through me."
"My name is Xianglu." The female teacher smiled and said, "Don't forget it this time."
"Xiang Lu, Xiang. Eh!?"
Judai was shocked.
"So you and Mr. Hibiki are..."
"She's my sister." Hibiki Hongye also appeared at this time and said with a smile, "Judai is a very good student, right?"
"A good duelist indeed. But as a student."
Hibiki glanced at Judai with a half-smile and crossed his arms.
"Even among all the students in the Duel Academy, it is rare to see so many students failing in one semester."
"Aha, ahahaha." Judai seemed to have no idea what to say and could only laugh dryly to ease the embarrassment.
"Judai-san is a first-rate duelist. Although theoretical results are not as important as practical results, it's not a good idea to underestimate him."
Xiang Hongye smiled and patted his shoulder, then looked at her sister meaningfully. "Besides, it's not a wise idea to make my sister angry. She's quite scary when she's angry. Even I have to stay away from her."
"Hey, what do you mean?" Xianglu was angry.
Judai saw the interaction between the two and suddenly couldn't help but say, "That's great!"
"What's wrong?" Xiang Hongye looked at him.
"Oh, it was just that when I saw Mr. Hongye and Mr. Xiang, I suddenly thought that it would be nice to have brothers and sisters. Actually, I didn't have many friends when I was a child, and I always thought how nice it would be if I had a brother."
"is it?"
Hibiki closed her eyes and smiled.
"Well, now that we are talking about this, if Judai-san is willing, I can also become Judai-san's elder brother."
"Eh? Is this true?!" Judai got excited again.
"Hey, hey, you haven't even asked for my opinion as your sister." Xianglu said.
"Sister Green!" Judai changed his words at a rapid speed.
"Okay, okay." Xianglu smiled helplessly, "But don't expect that yelling like this will help you pass next semester."
"."
After having a good meal and a few drinks, the contestants were settled in their respective rooms to rest for a while, and then they were quickly gathered together on the top floor of the ship.
You can see that the duel venue has already been set up. Against the wall is a white dragon lottery machine, a Q version of the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon machine, with the middle mouth facing up in a spherical glass cover, and the other two mouths facing down.
The rich and willful president even made a special version of the lottery machine for white marriage. But if there is anything more exaggerated than this, it is that the president's lottery machine is even made into a card.
[Magic Card-Bingo Machine-Go! Go!]
[Effect: Select three "Blue-Eyes" monsters from your deck, or cards other than this card that have "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" or "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" written on them, and show them to your opponent. Your opponent randomly selects one of them and adds it to your hand, and returns the rest to the deck.]
Literally, it is a lottery card.
This once again proves that everything in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh can be printed on cards. Almost anything you can see and think of can be encapsulated into a card.
"Hello fellow duelists. I am the referee of this Duel City Tournament hosted by Kaiba Corporation. You can call me Isono."
A man in a black suit and black sunglasses stood on the stage with a serious face and an unsmiling expression.
The legendary referee Isono has been through hundreds of battles under President Kaiba, and has been through thick and thin. No matter what big scene he faces, he remains calm and composed, and he is also a number one legendary figure.
"The order of opponents will be randomly determined through this lottery machine. Please wait."
The Ultimate Dragon Machine started up, and the golden ball with the contestant's number printed on it flew around randomly inside the glass cover. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the result.
"Who will we play against in the first round?"
Ten generations expectant face.
"Everyone is an opponent I want to fight, so exciting"
Two small balls fell from the Ultimate Dragon's mouths, each representing the competition numbers of the two contestants in the first duel.
"Number one, Fujiki Yugen!"
Referee Isono took the two balls in his hands and said loudly.
"The opponent is number three, Rikki Mackenzie!"
