Chapter 138 Amagi Hikaru's Endorsement
Chapter 138 Amagi Hikaru's Endorsement
"Ed, what happened on the island?"
In the pure white room, Saiou was shuffling the cards gently, and when he noticed Ed coming back, he asked.
"Well...it's a little complicated. Let me tell you about it."
He carefully considered his words and told him everything, from what he saw when he landed on the island to what happened afterwards.
"That actually happened." The smile on Saiou's face never changed. "Perhaps, that was fate's guidance to you, Ed."
"Destiny?" Ed took out the deck and looked at the monster names on it. The glaring "Destiny Hero" made him a little dazed.
"So, King Sai, what is this destiny leading me to?"
The King of Swords shuffled the cards gently and scattered them on the table. Seeing this, Ed walked over directly, drew a card from among the many cards, and turned it over.
"The Sun." When the King saw this card, he frowned, "The Sun in the right position."
"As I recall, this card seems to be beneficial regardless of whether it is heads or tails?" Ed recognized the card and looked up at Saiou.
The King nodded slightly.
"The sun symbolizes light and hope."
"Light?"
"Light."
Now Ed knew why King Sai was so hesitant.
If it was before, Sai Wang would definitely be very worried, because this card might not be a "good thing", because it might mean that the power in Sai Wang is stronger, so the light of destruction wants to invade his body even more.
But today, Ai De met a "Amagi Hikaru".
Neither of them could make a conclusion as to what this light represented.
"Anyway, Ed, it seems like you are quite satisfied with your trip to College Island, right?"
Ed nodded.
"That's good, don't worry." Sai Wang pulled out a card, and the card was shining with a bright light. However, when the light shone into his eyes, the card seemed to emit a thick black gas. "Don't worry about Akama Rei Wang. I will take care of it.
After all, I am your agent."
"Hehe... whatever you say." Ed laughed and put away his deck.
He also has to go to the next city to look for clues about the murderer of his father.
Looking back, in the Duel Academy, in the Fusion Department.
Amagi Hikaru stretched out his hand and pasted a few photos on the department's blackboard, then slapped the blackboard vigorously and said loudly: "In summary, Ed Phoenix is the legendary [Phoenix Man]!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh!!" Judai couldn't speak anymore and could only shout non-stop.
"Huh? How are they connected?" Misawa Daichi was still a little confused.
"Uh. Really?" Wanzhangmu disagreed. "Indeed, Ed Phoenix often travels around the world and duels, and there are rumors that Phoenix Man appears wherever he appears. But in fact, there are also cases where Phoenix Man appears even though he did not duel; and in some places where he has been, Phoenix Man has not appeared.
In the absence of sufficient evidence, Amagi, what you are saying is complete nonsense.
Most importantly, as a world-renowned professional duelist who has never lost a single battle to this day and is a glamorous public figure, there is no need for him to target some low-profile hooligans and gangsters, right? Besides, they are basically just petty thieves. "
As a famous detective, Manjome did not believe this conclusion. Even though his detective intuition made him feel that Amagi Mitsuru's guess seemed to be correct, he still did not agree.
Because it doesn't make sense.
After Ed left, Amagi Hikaru and a group of his friends returned to the Fusion Department. Seeing that everyone had nothing to do, Amagi Hikaru brought out an "urban legend" to talk about.
That is the legend of "Phoenix Man".
Legend has it that there is a "superhero" in the world who travels around and captures criminals. That's the Phoenix. It is said that every time he appears, there will be flame special effects, which is quite cool and is the topic of conversation for many hero fans and horror fans.
Judai naturally knew this story, but he had never before connected this man with a public figure like Ed Phoenix.
"And, more importantly, the motive, right?" Misawa Daichi glanced upwards, thinking, "Does Ed Phoenix have any motive?"
"It must be a sense of justice!" Judai said loudly.
"Maybe it's due to personal family factors?" Tian Chengguang touched his chin and talked nonsense.
Of course it’s because—he knows.
He remembered that no matter it was the animation of "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX" or the comics of "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX", no matter it was Ed from the lower grades or Ed from the higher grades, they all had a common background - their father died unexpectedly.
It sounds like a hell of a joke, and in fact, it might really be a hell of a joke.
Because, from a design perspective, the prototype of the elemental hero is most likely from the "Marvel series". In contrast, the "DC series" heroes who emphasize darkness, depth, and destruction are more "dark"... Therefore, Ed's identity background is most likely the editor's play on Batman.
In the original animation, when Ed was a child, someone invaded his home, killed his father, and stole a precious card. The card his father left him was the unreleased hero "D" series. After that, he regarded himself as a hero in the dark, always looking for the murderer who killed his father, and punishing the card thief on the way.
This is also a character background that corresponds to the tenth generation of heroes who are used simply because they like heroes.
Of course, it is hard to say what the situation is like in this world, after all, this world has already carried out "dimensional development" a long time ago. Amagi Hikaru also doesn't know why Ed in this world is still traveling at night as a "Phoenix Man".
"There's news, there's news!" At this moment, Fubuki excitedly ran into the event department. While everyone was talking nonsense, she excitedly held out a videotape, "Ryo's first duel in a professional arena! There's a result!"
"Alas, why isn't Caesar's first duel broadcast live?" Wanzhangmu was a little dissatisfied.
“After all, he is a student who hasn’t even graduated yet. Even if he is highly valued, there shouldn’t be many people paying attention to him.” Misawa Daichi shook his head.
"Oh oh oh! After A Guang, there will be a duel between Caesar and the professional duelist! So interesting, let's play it!" Judai is as easily excited as ever.
When Fubuki heard about Hikaru dueling with a professional duelist, she said "Huh?" in confusion, but didn't think much about it. She quickly put the videotape into the player and started playing it.
The picture is a little blurry, but not unwatchable.
After watching for a while, everyone finally felt relieved.
The first duel in the professional arena, Marufuji Ryo wins!
"As expected of Caesar!" Manzhangmu was actually a little nervous, and only heaved a sigh of relief after watching the duel.
"Haha, as expected, Caesar is super powerful!" Although Amagi Mitsuru defeated the professional duelist today, it was just an emergency after all. No one knew whether Marufuji Ryo would encounter an accident in the duel. It was not until he saw the result that Judai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Speaking of which, did you talk to any outside companies today?" After watching the video, Fubuki let out a breath, then laughed and asked something else. "Although the exchange will last for a week, it's better than nothing."
"No." "Uh, me too..." Judai and Misawa lowered their heads together, looking unwilling.
"As for me..." Manjomu took out a large stack of business cards from his pocket, "I have received so many."
"What! How is that possible, Lightning! Did you give them money?" Judai exclaimed.
"Hehehe, big brother is super awesome! When people hear his name, they crowd to big brother!" Disturb Yellow suddenly floated out. Several friends looked at it together. After hearing what it said, they suddenly realized.
"That's despicable, Lightning!" Judai hammered the table a few more times, "That's despicable!"
Say it twice!
"Stop talking too much, you jerk!" Manjomu quickly slapped the disturbing Huang around him away, and then shouted, "I have my reasons. I want to... I want to become the president of Manjomu Group. This is what I have to do!"
"Hey! Manjomu, you are quite goal-oriented." Fubuki said in surprise, "What about you, Guang?"
"Eh...I..." Amagi Hikaru was a little embarrassed. Tiera floated over and chuckled twice, as if she was going to speak if he didn't say anything.
"Actually... I... signed a contract with an instant noodle company. It's a short-term contract... um..."
"What!??"
"Have you become a spokesperson already?!"
"How could that be? We are all still students!"
Along with the exclamations of the friends, the students from the Integration Department who were farther away also heard it and hurried over.
"What? The minister got sponsorship?"
"Brother Guang is only in his first year and already has an endorsement!? This is too good! Even Caesar couldn't do it!"
Tian Chengguang was even more embarrassed and kept explaining: "It's just a short-term contract - and I have to duel with the duelists they arranged later. Besides, if the taste I provide is not delicious, they will not accept it...
By the way, I still need Mr. Moko’s permission, and then I have to go to the magic village again... If he doesn’t agree, it probably won’t work.”
But the students have already started cheering.
How could they think so far?
What's more, in their opinion, it is impossible for Amagi Hikaru to lose!
Judai couldn't help but look up at the sky, wondering: "Will there be instant noodles that taste like fried shrimp? I'm so curious..."
"Wow, this way we can have endless instant noodles and use all our money to buy card packs!"
"That's great. Joining the Fusion Club is the most important decision of my life. I want my brother to come too!"
"No, no, no, you are too goal-oriented, aren't you? At least your brother likes fusion!"
"How dare he not like it!"
"Haha, stop it, Brother Guang won't let you do that!"
Listening to the heated discussion of his classmates, Tian Chengguang tilted his head and pondered.
Well, now that you put it that way, it seems to be true.
Eating curry all the time seems to be quite greasy, and eating instant noodles occasionally seems to be good...
After all, there is still money to buy materials and cards!
Occasionally, you might even be able to learn from Ed and give yourself a complete set of "equipment" to enhance your combat effectiveness.
Thinking this way, he was not so resistant to Tiera's persuasion for him to cooperate with the instant noodle company.
Chapter 2, 3,000 words. By the way, I’m going to recommend my friend’s book again… I should have recommended it yesterday, but I forgot. It’s embarrassing. I’ll recommend it again and again.
