Chapter 232 Confused Pioneer
Chapter 232 Confused Pioneer
While the heroes were busy looking for a suitable opponent for Serena and preparing the duel arena.
The world continues to operate as usual.
"Destiny" is unpredictable, but it all leads to the same destination.
"Alas... it's a pity that the rising star Marufuji Ryo, who we had high hopes for, fell on the road to the top 32."
The commentary was still echoing on the radio, but Marufuji Ryo seemed to have lost his soul. He sat on a bench in the company with his head down.
Lost again.
Although he hasn’t been completely defeated since losing to Ed Phoenix, his winning rate has been getting lower and lower recently.
At the beginning it could only be described as an "upset", but now, no matter how much he deceives himself, he has to admit that he has indeed "become weaker".
Even though the company's president told him several times not to have too much pressure, his overall image was still very good and it was good for the company's advertising value, so he shouldn't be too obsessed with losing the duel to Ed Phoenix, but should regain his spirits and fight the duel well.
However, he wanted to ask the president for leave, hoping to calm down again.
He could say that he was targeted by those professional duelists and defeated by those decks that targeted Machines and Cyber Dragons, but he himself could not come up with such an excuse.
Even if he was hit by the "Fusion Prohibited Area", Guang could still summon fusion monsters using various means. Could it be that he could not win just because he was hit by a targeted attack?
"Bright."
"President!"
Marufuji Ryo noticed a middle-aged businessman approaching and quickly stood up.
"I've heard that you want to go back to the academy?"
"...Yes, I think I still have a lot of shortcomings."
"However, our company cannot accept that a graduate professional duelist would first think of looking for his teacher after losing a duel."
"No, what I'm looking for is..."
"The public won't believe a word you say!"
Marufuji Ryo fell silent.
"Ah——" the middle-aged businessman sighed.
He is not a kind-hearted person.
However, Marufuji Ryo did seem to be worth extracting advertising revenue from, so he just sighed, then dug into his pocket and took out a card: "Take this."
"this is?"
"A pass to Citongye City." The businessman put his hands behind his back and said, "My company has also recently entered the dimensional exploration. Marufuji, you have plenty of experience in dimensional travel, and next, my company will also develop related business... Marufuji, I believe you will perform better in this regard - and, if there is anyone you want to meet, you can also make an appointment in Citongye City, so that you won't be caught by the bored paparazzi."
Marufuji Ryo finally smiled. He excitedly took the card, bowed to the businessman, and said loudly, "Thank you, President!"
"Hahaha, this is also for the healthy growth of my company. Come on, Marufuji-san, I have high hopes for you." He patted Marufuji Ryo on the shoulder, "Just adjust your mood there and come back later."
"Thank you!!" Marufuji Ryo completely regained his energy.
After a period of investigation and testing, Marufuji Ryo successfully passed the screening of the Kaiba Corporation branch and arrived at "Cidouno City" through dimensional teleportation.
Coming to this dimension again, Marufuji Ryo's depressed heart couldn't help but slowly turn.
Ever since losing to Ed Phoenix, he has been doubting himself more and more.
He often doubted himself, wondering why he dueled and why he became a professional duelist.
The society of adults is completely different from the society of the academy. Here, there is no support from Professor Chronos, no understanding from Hikaru Amagi, no laughter from Judai, and he still has to worry about his younger brother. He feels uncomfortable every day, and every night, he has to toss and turn for a long time before he can fall asleep.
He asks himself this question every day.
Is this really what you want?
Is this really the duel I like?
He couldn't answer his own question.
And now...
"Heh... huh..." Citongye City is an artificial dimension located in countless broken dimensions, and it is also a bridge between the X dimension and their dimension. When Marufuji Ryo came here last year, it was quite empty, but now, the number of people has increased a lot. There even seems to be some strange technology that can only be seen in the X dimension.
He tilted his head back and looked at the simulated moonlight emitted by the artificial sun. In the sky, a winged figure flashed by, like an angel.
He shielded the sun with one hand, looked at the sky for a while, then lowered his head and shook his slightly tired hands.
People in the X dimension also have their own unique characteristics.
He called Amagi Hikaru before he came, but he didn't answer. He then called Manjomu and found out that Amagi Hikaru had accompanied Serena to the skyscraper, but he still had a long "vacation" here, so it didn't matter at all.
Amagi Mitsuru had advised him before not to do anything he didn't want to do in a duel, but he never understood why Amagi Mitsuru said that, and he didn't understand it until this period of time.
He found a card shop owned by someone from the X-dimension.
Although last year he advised Amagi Hikaru not to buy card packs from other dimensions in Ci Tongye City, because most of these card packs were leftover card packs from other dimensions, and it was unlikely that there would be any rare cards.
However, when he was alone, in order to relax and sightsee, he couldn't help but buy some card packs when passing by a card store.
He casually bought a few packs of assorted cards, cut them open one by one, and then put the cards away. Just as he was studying the cards, he heard a loud "bang" and the door of the card shop was smashed open by a huge explosion.
what's the situation! ?
He turned his head and looked towards the door of the card shop.
A muscular man wearing riveted clothes broke open the door of the card shop.
He had a strange round octopus hat on his head, a thick stick in his right hand, and a sack in his left hand. As soon as he entered the store, he smashed the glass display cabinet and shouted angrily: "Put all the cards in! Hurry up!"
"Wow!" The owner of the card shop was so scared that he crawled under the table, trembling.
Marufuji Ryo didn't even quite understand the situation.
Robber?
what--
Robber? ?
Looks like a person from X dimension?
Is the X-dimension so troubled?
Just as he was thinking, a strange red mark appeared on the head of this strange man. Then, he hammered the things around him even harder and cursed: "Hurry up, put all the cards in for me!"
"I don't know what's going on, but you are also wearing a duel disk, right?" Marufuji Ryo strode to the counter, stood in front of the store manager, stretched out his left hand, activated the duel disk, and at the same time, stuffed all the cards in the deck and hand into the duel disk.
A silver-white mechanical dragon shadow emerged behind him. The huge mechanical dragon hovered in the card shop, staring at the robber with a fierce look.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard! How dare you stop me! I'm going to kill you and take all your cards!" As he said this, he smashed a glass cabinet, causing countless cards and glass shards to fly everywhere.
Marufuji Ryo was a little confused by the robber's train of thought.
But anyway-
"duel!!"
Wild Robber, LP: 4000.
Marufuji Ryo, LP: 4000.
As the two men dueled, a strange whistle was heard, and then the trembling store manager suddenly stopped trembling. The cards and glass shards that were hit by sticks in the room strangely stayed in the air!
A figure landed outside the card shop. After he landed, his mechanical wings fell off and deformed, and then he turned into a small robot.
"Lord Kaito! We've been beaten to it!"
"I can see it!" The man who fell to the ground looked at the situation in the store, glanced at the school uniform he remembered, and snorted coldly.
He is a person from another dimension.
Did it actually involve the unlucky person from another dimension?
After thinking about the relationship between the two parallel universes, he snorted coldly again.
Forget it, I'll revive him after he loses.
