Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

Standing up slowly, the first boy to walk out of the hatch glanced at the central volcano on the Duel Academy Island in the distance, and sighed: "Oh, what a dangerous island it is!"

"There's still smoke coming out of the mountain. It won't erupt suddenly, right?" He said to himself, without looking at Professor Kronos who greeted them at the tarmac on the pier, as if he was talking to someone else. The person spoke, "What do you think, Mark?"

"First of all, my last name is Mackenzie. Pronounce it correctly, Mackenzie~" Another person walked out of the open helicopter door. It was obvious that the boy just now was talking to him. The girl also wore a similar military uniform. The hat on her head looked like a flight attendant's hat. She also looked at the volcano in the distance and said, "Although theoretically there shouldn't be any change, it seems to be more compelling than two years ago. That volcano."

"Well, no." The boy pulled the hat on his head, "Or maybe it's not the volcano that has changed, but us students?"

"No, that volcano has indeed changed, because someone had a pretty fierce duel there before." The strong wind blown by the helicopter's rotor on the ground stopped as the rotor decelerated, and two people were heard. Professor Kuronos, who was talking to the students, walked up behind them and said, "The specific principle is unknown. In short, the final result is that the volcano that has been dormant for a long time was awakened by the duel and became active."

"Dueling is amazing, isn't it?"

Professor Kuronos has already recognized who these two people are. Aren't they the two exchange students who were highlighted in the electronic file he just read and deserved special attention - David Rabb and Richie? Mackenzie. He has always been very kind and enthusiastic towards top students.

Hearing the visitor's idiosyncrasy, David Rabb seemed to recognize Professor Kuronos and greeted him warmly: "Oh! Professor Kuronos! It's been such a long time since I last saw him."

"By the way, you just said that the volcano was awakened because of the duelist's duel? Did you actually become able to joke?"

Reggie Mackenzie, who was on the side, heard David's words and said, "I don't think Professor Kuronos is joking but is explaining the facts seriously, right? Although I'm not sure if it's a secret, but Kuronos Professor Ronos, can you tell us whose duel did such a miraculous thing as waking up the volcano? I'm very curious."

What Rui Ji said also aroused David's interest, and he couldn't help but ask Professor Kronos: "Could it be Huji Dingqiaoyin?"

"Well, in theory, it's true that it's Fubuki Tenjoin's classmate. But David, your accent still hasn't improved much." Hearing David's words "Huji·Ding Qiaoyin", which is also "Tenjoin Fubuki" Professor Chronos corrected the non-standard pronunciation of the word, but he did not keep it a secret and revealed that one of the people involved in the duel was Fubuki.

As the dean of students, Professor Kuronos naturally found out how Fubuki returned to school afterwards. Although he was wearing a mask and being controlled by "Darkness" to duel Judai, it was true that Fubuki himself did not wrong. Although the "Seven Stars" incident itself had certain confidentiality requirements, the duel between Fubuki and Judai was not included in the confidentiality requirements. Professor Chronos also revealed it to Riki and David with peace of mind.

Speaking of which, although Fubuki, who had been missing for a year, was not punished for leaving school for a long time. After all, he did not leave school voluntarily, but after missing school for a whole year, he did not successfully return to the third grade, but remained In the second grade, I need to study for another year, and I cannot graduate with Ryo Marufuji, who was in the same grade at the beginning, at the end of this school year.

As for the details of Fubuki's disappearance, because his physical condition is up and down - he has the energy to flirt with girls after waking up, but he will immediately collapse and close his eyes and mouth when he gets tired - there has not been a detailed inquiry.

When Riki and David heard that Professor Chronos confirmed that one of the people involved in the duel was Fubuki, their doubts disappeared immediately and they showed expressions of normalcy.

"I see, it wouldn't be surprising if it was a duel between Hugi Jingqiaoin, who is known as the 'King'." While sighing, David Rabb showed an expectant expression, "Two days have passed. Years later, has he become stronger again? How much has the gap between me and him been shortened now? I really look forward to dueling with him again."

Compared to David, who was only thinking about the duel, Riki on the side recalled the encounter with Fubuki in the competition two years ago, but a blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and she didn't say anything, leaving people guessing. She didn't know what was going on in her mind.

After a while, the students on the helicopter also came off one by one. Even if no one organized, they were gathered in piles according to their respective colleges around the rather spacious apron. They did not follow the same Western students. The classmates from the branch branch stood together, but David and Richie, who stood out and communicated with Professor Kuronos, seemed a little different.

The last ones to walk out of the cabin were the students from the Northern Branch. Unlike the students from other branches, who mostly got along with each other on an equal footing, Professor Kuronos saw at a glance the students from the Northern Branch who were wearing furs and gold necklaces. He was dressed like a big guy, and some of the students from the Northern Branch behind him were carrying bags and some carrying boxes, and they were following that man like his little brother.

"What, is it so hot here in the headquarters? Hey, if I had known better, I wouldn't have put on so many clothes." As soon as he complained, the boys behind the big guy immediately helped him put on his clothes without asking him. A relatively cooler piece of clothing.

"Although it's strange for me to say this because I don't have much experience, but I have never seen such an arrogant person in my life."

Hearing David's words, Rui Ji also woke up from the strange fantasy, glanced at the big man from the Northern Branch over there, and said contemptuously: "Hey, haven't you seen it now? That arrogant style, a Look at those arrogant guys from the Northern Branch, even if they change people, they are still exactly the same as two years ago."

Because of the student source problem at the Northern Branch, it is not possible to establish a dormitory system like here at the main campus. After all, there are only so many people in a grade and then there will be no one left. However, this does not mean that there is no class distinction there. Rather, it is precisely because there is no explicit class division in dormitories that the class division at the Northern Branch is even more cruel.

It can be summed up in four words, "The strong are respected." Whether you are a first-year student or a third-year student, as long as you are strong enough to defeat everyone else and become the strongest person in the college, you can become the "student leader" of the Northern Branch. He has almost unlimited power in the academy to command all other students to do what they want.

Obviously, judging from the attitude of the Northern Branch student next to the big guy, he seems to be this year's student leader, in other words, the strongest person in the college, at least on the surface.

As the theoretical strongest, the student leaders of the Northern Branch are often the first choice for confrontation and exchange competitions. However, because they dominate and dominate in the college, they often have a great misconception of their own strength. They think that they are the strongest in the academy and will definitely be the strongest in other academies. Thinking like this, they often just miss out in the annual exchange competition.

Unfortunately, most of the students who can become student leaders are third-year students. Most of them have little chance to tell the junior students in the college how big the world is. So every year, the student leaders of the Northern Branch always behave as if they automatically come to the Spring Festival every year. The unfrozen Tu Hengyu always repeated the same thing - talking boldly when he came to Duel Academy, being silent after starting the duel, and talking nonsense after the competition.

Not only David and Richie from the Western Branch, but students from the Eastern and Southern Branches who had participated in the exchange competition before were also looking at the students from the Northern Branch with the same clown eyes, completely ignoring them. After all, the performance of the Northern Branch in the past is obvious to all.

If the representatives from the Northern Branch had any strength this year, would they wait until this year to become student leaders and participate in the exchange competition? If you don't have time to care about each other, you might as well think about the confrontation with the geniuses from the other two colleges and this headquarters.

"Edogawa Free of the Northern Branch." He opened the electronic file with a tablet and restored the hidden portraits after canceling "Mark for Focus". Professor Kuronos did not forget what he was here for. Yes, after counting the number of people to confirm that they were accurate, he said, "So, a total of forty exchange students have been confirmed, and they are all here, Na Nuonie." - Don't ask why a helicopter can carry a load There is a space for more than 40 people. You will know the answer by looking at the "KC" mark on the side of the helicopter. This is the scientific and technological strength of the Haima Group. Not long ago, a certain Haima man who insisted that he was not a human showed up with a piece of paper that was not consistent at all. The aerodynamic [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]-shaped jet turned into a duel monster card [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] playing cards with Hayato.

Under the leadership of Professor Kuronos, the students who had already taken the helicopter all the way did not continue to take buses or other means of transportation, but walked from the outlying island to the bridge to the main island like freshmen. , passing through the dense forest and the Osiris-Red Dormitory on the cliff, and walked towards the front entrance of the academy headquarters.

This can also be regarded as acquainting them with the geographical environment of Duel Academy. After all, this exchange competition requires these exchange students to stay on the Duel Academy Island for more than a month.

It was already noon, because he stayed up late last night to watch the latest theatrical animation DVD, but Judai, who had always gotten up early, had just woken up at this moment. As soon as he walked out of the dormitory door after washing, he saw someone from a distance. The exchange students passing by in a long line on the road tilted their heads in confusion.

The yawning Maeda Hayato walked out of the dormitory behind Judai. After seeing the Northern Branch students in the distance who were wearing uniforms of their respective colleges and who did not have uniforms at all due to financial issues, he casually sighed: "Speaking of which, it is indeed time for the exchange competition. It’s time.”

"Exchange competition, what is that?" Judai said with some confusion.

Behind Judai, Manzōme, who was also yawning, came out. After hearing Judai's words, he raised his eyebrows and said in disgust: "Didn't Mr. Hayato just mentioned it a few days ago? Just forget it." Already?"

"Hey, hehe, I completely forgot."

Why does Wan Zhangmu from the blue dormitory appear in the red dormitory? It would be better to ask who got the theatrical version of the disc. Although Banzhangmu initially wanted to show it off to Judai that he could get the limited edition disc that had just been released, but when Judai said, "Wow, thank you so much, Banzhangmu." , actually brought it over and watched it with us." Wan Zhangmu seemed to resist, but in fact he half-heartedly stayed up late with Judai and the others in the red dormitory to watch the CD, and even made a bed on the floor to spend the night.

'no! As an top student, how could I, Mr. Wan Zhangmu, and I hang out with these poor students in the red dormitory! Waking up, Wan Zhangmu actually somewhat regretted yesterday's inexplicable plan and made up his mind, "At least it can't be paving on the floor, it's too disgraceful!" I want to build another villa for Mr. Wan Zhangmu next to the red dormitory! '

"In the early days, the exchange competition seemed to be just a student representative from the main campus and the northern branch, and they dueled together once to promote the Duel Academy. However, now that there are more and more exchange students, the rules of the exchange competition have been changed. Principal Kobayashi has specially modified it." Holding out a finger, Maeda Hayato re-explained to Judai, "You can participate in the special selection by submitting your duel plate at the registration desk."

"In one month, the college-standard duel plate can record everyone's specific performance in the duel and give a final score. Whether they are students from the main college or other branches, the top eight students in the final ranking can participate. To exchange qualifications for the final stage of the competition, it is said that this rule is adapted from Duel City."

"Is it such an interesting event? In other words, whether they are students from other grades in the main department or exchange students from other branches, will the selected people be able to duel with them? I'm really looking forward to it!" Listening to Maeda Hayato explanation, Judai said excitedly.

Seeing this, Wan Zhangmu complained: "It was obviously the same when you heard the explanation two days ago. Why don't you forget it again in two days?"

"No, I forgot before because the selection competition hasn't started yet, but those exchange students have already come to school, which means that registration for the selection competition can already begin, right?" Judai quickly turned back to the dormitory to get his own Duel plate, he said excitedly, "It's already noon now, and we are already too far behind the others. Come on, come on! I'm going to sign up now!"

"Humph, idiot, you really don't remember anything. You could have started registration a few days ago. It would be better to say that today, when the exchange students have arrived, registration has ended long ago." Wan Zhang saw Judai and said As he walked down the stairs, he crossed his arms across his chest and said contemptuously, "Thank you, Mr. Wan Zhangmu. I registered for you a few days ago, because I knew you would definitely want to participate." , but I won’t remember to sign up at all.”

"Really? That's great, thanks to you, Wan Zhang Mu!"

"It's Mr. Wan Zhangmu!"

David, who was walking with his hands in his pockets, heard the noise coming from the red dormitory in the distance. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Wanzhang standing on the second floor with an arrogant face hugging him. Judai pushed away. Having participated in exchange competitions before, he naturally knows the dormitory division system here in the headquarters.

"Is that the Osiris-Red Dormitory over there? It's quite energetic." Rikki Mackenzie said casually.

But David snorted contemptuously: "Humph, only the vitality is outstanding. In the final analysis, in the academy that trains duelists, the only important thing is the strength as a duelist. Those who can be classified into the red dormitory, the company During the selection stage, I felt that the wins used as points brushes would lower the value of my selection."

"The noisier it is, the less worth paying attention to in my opinion, especially the kid with the jellyfish head over there. The guy in the blue dormitory uniform next to him is similar. He can mix with the people in the red dormitory, and it's obvious at first glance. He has surrendered himself."

David Rabb said with some arrogance, "The only opponent I want to defeat is Hu Ji Tingqiao. If possible, it would be best to meet that Caesar again to let me prove that I am the strongest."

"The guy over there looks weak at first glance, so there's no need to care."

Professor Kuronos, who was walking in front of David Rabb and Ricky Mackenzie, had his shoulders slightly hunched, and he was holding back a smile with one hand covering his mouth.

Do you want to tell these two Western branch students that the one who dueled Fubuki was the poor student in the red dormitory who you said "has no need to care"? Although he likes top students, even the poor students in his own college are much more important to Professor Kuronos than the top students in other colleges.

No, he was already looking forward to the scene of David Rabb facing off against the Judai of Upstream City under his arrogance, and then being beaten by the opponent. I can't laugh! What should I do if I laugh at this time and make the other party suspicious?

But thinking of such a funny scene, who can resist laughing?

"Professor Kuronos, what's wrong with you?" a student from the Eastern Branch asked with concern.

"I thought of something happy." Professor Chronos said casually, "The International Illusion Society has given me a new strengthening card for the [Ancient Machinery] deck." (End of this chapter)
