"A... friend."
friend?
Baihui and Junko looked at each other and seemed to smell some gossip.
"Could it be, a boyfriend or something?"
"Hey, Junko, what are you talking about!"
"Hey, Asuka, your expression seems a little off."
"Baihui, how come even you..."
The girls left the academy gate, laughing and playing.
......
......
Three days later.
early morning.
Accompanied by the sound of an alarm clock.
Mrs. Yujo's voice came from downstairs.
"Judai~ come down for breakfast."
Judai Yuki sat up from the bed, scratched his messy hair, and looked at the card deck on his desk with a sleepy look.
It has been three days since I returned home.
After explaining to my parents that I was dropping out of school to join a professional league.
Although the parents were a little surprised, they still unconditionally supported Yuki Judai's idea.
After all, this is a child who has shown extraordinary abilities since childhood.
Yuki Judai's parents were very happy to let him do something independently.
Wearing loose pajamas, Yuki Judai staggered down from upstairs and sat at the dining table.
On the dining table, Mrs. Youcheng had already prepared breakfast.
Ordinary bread, milk, fried eggs.
The food tasted like chewing wax to Yuki Judai, and now he actually missed the rich meals at Duel Academy.
The morning talk show was still being broadcast on TV.
This interview is about the Duel League in the near future.
Many well-known professional duelists in the dueling world participated in this interview program.
The host talked a lot on the stage and asked questions about topics that Yusuke Judai was not interested in.
Yuki Judai propped up his face, eating bread while watching the boring show on TV.
"Then, for the next question, please give the microphone to our youngest professional duelist, Ed Phoenix, Mr. Ed."
At the host's signal.
The camera also focused on the corner of the professional duelist.
The gray-haired boy, with a confident smile on his face, took the microphone from the host.
"Oh? It's Mr. Ed." Mrs. Youcheng was also watching TV at the side, with a somewhat surprised expression.
"Judai, he's a very famous duelist recently. In terms of age, he's even one year younger than Judai."
Yugi Judai nodded and took a sip of milk.
"Ah~ It would be great if my Judai could also appear on TV~" Mrs. Yujo held her face with an expectant expression, "He will definitely look cuter than Ed-kun~"
Yujo Judai: “…”
Better to forget it...
"Mr. Ed, which professional duelist do you most want to face in this duel league?" The host asked Ed the question facing the camera.
Ed smiled calmly, holding the microphone, and turned his gaze to the camera.
The seemingly innate confidence and arrogance in his eyes seemed to be locked firmly on Yuki Judai through the screen.
"There is only one person I want to fight in this Duel League."
"That is."
"Yujo Judai."
......
Chapter 56: A Fate That Cannot Be Seen Through
Ed's voice fell.
Faintly, several voices of surprise from other professional players could be heard on the TV screen.
It seemed that no one had expected that Ed Phoenix would actually say the name 'Yuki Judai'.
"Mr. Ed actually mentioned the name of our family's tenth generation? Oh my God, is the tenth generation so famous?" Mrs. Youcheng looked at the TV with a naive look on her face, her face full of joy.
After all, his son's name actually appeared in such a national program.
And it was mentioned by a professional player, which is really amazing!
She didn't notice the serious expression on Yuki Judai's face at the moment.
"Yu, Yujo Judai? If I remember correctly, he should be the champion of the junior division of the last professional league, right?"
The host was stunned for a moment, and said strangely, "Mr. Ed, do you think so highly of this junior champion?"
To know.
The professional league is divided into youth group and professional group.
The youth category is open to everyone, as long as they are under the age of fifteen.
The professional group is different.
Those who can participate in the professional group competition are all well-known figures in the duel field.
Their dueling level and dueling rhythm are definitely not comparable to those of the junior group.
Take any professional duelist for example. Who hasn’t won the junior championship a few times?
This is why.
The reason why Yuki Judai, the champion of the junior group, is not taken seriously by most professional duelists.
And Ed, as the youngest professional duelist, has been active in the professional arena for many years and has a very impressive record.
Such a talented duelist would actually name Yujo Judai.
"Humph, his strength is more than one level stronger than everyone here."
Ed slowly stood up and turned to look at the others.
"what?"
"Asshole! Ed, you're comparing us to a kid from the junior group?"
"Ed, do you look down on us?"
The other professional duelists were all furious.
They all looked at Ed with their eyes wide open.
"Well, this is true after all... If you don't believe me, go challenge this boy when the league starts."
Ed said with a faint smile.
Listening to the faint sighing sounds coming from the TV screen.
Yugi Judai frowned.
"This kid is intentionally trying to draw hatred from you, Judai."
Yubel's shadow floated beside Yuki Judai and smiled faintly.
"Hmm, I get the feeling... Does he want to use these people to study my deck more in the professional league?"
Yujo Judai's eyes darkened slightly.
"No... Is it him who wants to study me, or is it the person behind him who wants to study me..."
......
In the empty round hall.
The snow-white light from the roof illuminates every corner of the room.
The darkness cannot hide in even a corner.
Every place is penetrated by light.
In this world covered by white light.
A young man in a white robe was sitting at a round table in the center of the round hall.
On the transparent table illuminated by the snow-white light.
A thick stack of tarot cards was placed in front of him.
"Is it necessary to care so much about that Yuki Judai?"
Ed's voice came from the doorway.
The boy didn't look back, but just listened silently to the footsteps of Ed walking towards him.
"Sai Ou."
"..."
The young man called Saiou slowly raised his head.
Under the hood.
