Chapter 208 Appearance
Chapter 208 Appearance
Compared to ordinary, more common duels, there are many things in the professional arena that ordinary people cannot experience at all.
The first one is "appearance".
As professional duelists, "duelist" is not only an identity but also a job. As professional duelists, they need to endorse their companies and brands, so naturally, they must take some corresponding actions.
For example, this time.
Because the previous cross-dimensional Friendship Cup attracted the attention of a large number of ordinary people and almost all the "traffic" was snatched away, the professional arena urgently needs an event that is eye-catching enough. For this reason, this duel was done to the extreme in terms of venue, logistics and lighting.
The commentators are a trio, including professional commentators, card designers and retired duelists.
The entire venue was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and countless people spent a lot of money to buy tickets to watch the duel up close.
Before the duel, the two duelists' appearance on stage was also carefully designed.
Marufuji Ryo's appearance was full of technology and futuristic style. In addition to the flickering blue flames, accompanied by the clanging sound of mechanical structures, Marufuji Ryo's figure turned from "data" into a entity and appeared on the field, just like a dimensional teleportation.
"Lord Caesar Liang~~"
"Caesar~~~"
Countless girls who came to the scene in person to support Caesar Liang shouted his nickname excitedly.
"Wow... As expected of Caesar, he's so popular." In the Duel Academy, the students who were watching this duel were discussing it enthusiastically, and Judai was even more excited to cheer for Caesar from afar.
After he appeared, when the storm subsided, a figure fell from the sky like a meteorite, followed by a dazzling light. A figure landed on one knee, pressed the ground with one hand, and then slowly stood up like a Marvel hero.
"Wow!!!"
"Ed!!!"
Ed Phoenix is young, rich and handsome, so he has many young girl fans, but he is different from Marufuji Ryo.
Among his fan base, there are some older women, very older women.
He seemed to be particularly favored by his aunt.
Then came the opening of the commentary, the two people's conversations and that sort of thing.
Because he heard that Ed would join the Fusion Club after entering the school, Marufuji Ryo felt that Ed was a pretty good person. Marufuji himself was not too condescending. During the conversation, he just regretted that he would not be able to return to the Fusion Club after graduation. Apart from that, he strongly recommended that Ed spend his study life in the Fusion Club, which would definitely become unforgettable days in his study life.
"Even now, I still think of everyone in the Fusion Department occasionally."
"Really? Then I'm still looking forward to it." Ed responded with a smile without spoiling Caesar Liang's interest.
He also wanted to experience student life.
He also watched the entire S Dimension Friendship Cup before, and he has to say that the performance of Amagi Hikaru and others was truly amazing.
As the senior of Hikaru Amagi and the others, and the undisputed "Caesar" of the Duel Academy, Ed was very curious about how strong this duelist was.
Before coming to this arena, he went to Saiou.
The King of Zhai seemed to be a lot calmer than before. As someone who was familiar with the King of Zhai, he could see that the "anxiety" in the King of Zhai's heart had eased a lot.
Originally, Saiou predicted that he would destroy the world, and as time went by and as the exploration of dimensions gradually expanded, he found that the "light" was getting brighter and brighter, and his fate of destroying the world was becoming more and more stable, and even - seemed to have expanded to other dimensions!
However, some time ago, due to his own carelessness, or perhaps it was really "fate", he mistakenly joined the fusion department of Amagi Hikaru, duelled with the "representative" of the fusion department, Marufuji Sho, and won, so it seemed that Saiou and Akaba Reio had a conflict.
The Light Society, a dimensional exploration organization under Saiou, is attacked by the fusion army of Akama Reiou.
Although it was just a minor friction, Saiou later happily told Ed that the shattered future in him seemed to have become smaller.
The "light" in him seemed to weaken.
but--
That's all.
Ed knew very well that as long as Saiou could predict the future, he would still be in danger.
This time, the divination given to him by the King of Sai was...
Fight according to his own wishes.
Yeah……
Duel according to your own will!
"You will be the first to attack, senior." Ed put the deck on the duel disk and said calmly to Caesar Liang.
"Let me attack first?" Kaisar Liang looked at his opponent and shook his head. "The deck you are going to use today is your real deck, right? That is, the deck you don't usually use in professional competitions.
But——I have heard that you used that deck in your duel with Xiang on the Duel Academy Island. "
Ed nodded slightly.
Come to think of it, the representative of the joint unit, Marufuji Sho, is indeed the younger brother of the person opposite.
The momentum is completely different.
"In that case, you should attack first—" Marufuji Ryo said modestly.
"Senior." Ed folded his hands and said slowly, "Although you are my senior in the academy, as a senior of professional duelists, I want to remind you that as a duelist, sometimes you should not think too much about your opponent.
Because your opponent may only wish for your destruction."
"What? This guy is so arrogant!" In the distant Duel Academy, Maruto Sho muttered in dissatisfaction as he watched Ed make such a declaration.
"But - Xiang, he has also defeated you, right?" Judai opened his wound.
"He just beat me! Brother is ten, a hundred times stronger than me!" Marufuji Sho was very dissatisfied with what Ed said to Marufuji Ryo, because it sounded like he was basically "teaching" Marufuji Ryo!
"...I see." Misawa Daichi took a deep breath. "So, in Ed Phoenix's opinion, he has gone further than Caesar in the road of dueling? Should I say he is confident, or... arrogant?"
"Ed Phoenix..." Wanzhang looked at the live broadcast solemnly.
What power does this freshman have that makes him so confident?
"Is that so... I understand." Marufuji Ryo remembered what Amagi Mitsuru had told him before and took a deep breath.
"Then. Let's duel!"
"duel!"
Electronic Dragon Master, Caesar Bright LP: 4000.
[Hero] Duelist, Ed LP: 4000.
"My turn! Draw a card—I Normal Summon, Cyber Dragon Core!"
hum-
A mechanical dragon with red "blood vessels" and lit red wicks appeared on Caesar's field.
Electronic Dragon Core, Level 2, Light Attribute, Mechanical, Attack Power 400.
"When Cyber Dragon Core is on the field or in the Graveyard, the card name is considered [Cyber Dragon]!"
"In addition - the effect of Cyber Dragon Core, if this card is successfully Normal Summoned, you can activate it. Add a [Cyber] Magic/Trap Card or [Cybertech] Magic/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand!
I added the Electronic Revolution from my deck to my hand!"
Wow--
Tian Chengguang's eyes lit up.
Electronic dragon core!
Did Caesar even collect this card?
"Cover a card, end the turn!"
"Great! Not only has the Cyber Revolution, which can directly special summon a Cyber End Dragon, been added to the hand, but even the Cyber Dragon Core itself can be considered a Cyber Dragon!" Misawa Daichi immediately saw through Caesar's thoughts.
"Great! This way, my brother can do something he couldn't do before with just one card!"
Marufuji Sho shouted excitedly.
"Hmm... Excellent tactics, but, Senior... It's too weak in front of my [Destiny]."
"!?" Caesar was shocked when he heard that.
"My turn - draw a card!"
"Normal Summon, Destined Hero - Drillman!" He pulled out a card from his hand and showed it directly to the other party.
"destiny!?"
"hero??"
"what!?"
"What card is that!"
“I’ve never heard of a card like this!”
