Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

——Why did you say before that Judai and his friends were ahead of “almost” everyone?

Of course, it was because some people were faster than them and had passed through the teleportation array to other worlds before Judai. They were Marufuji Ryo who appeared in front of Judai and the others!

"Marufuji-san is here too?" Daitokuji looked at Marufuji Ryo with some surprise, but found that he was not wearing the school's blue dormitory uniform, but a long black windbreaker, looking cool.

And it's not just his dress that has changed. The feeling that Marufuji Ryo in front of him gives to Daitokuji is also different. Although Marufuji Ryo often treated people with a cold look in the past, he has always been quite passionate inside, and he occasionally shows his gentle side to people he recognizes.

But the Marufuji Ryo who appeared in front of him now had a colder temperament than before, and it was quite thorough. Daitokuji could even feel the indifference and cruelty in his heart. If his appearance had not changed much, Daitokuji would almost think that the person in front of him was a completely different person from the Marufuji Ryo he knew before.

Originally, after Judai attacked the pond and unexpectedly opened the closed door, Marufuji Sho was no longer afraid because the darkness around him was dispelled and he was very interested in exploring the world behind the door first. However, after seeing Marufuji Ryo, he subconsciously retreated and hid beside Judai, not daring to look at the back in front of him, muttering: "Brother."

"Caesar." Looking at Marufuji Ryo in front of him, Judai said with a serious expression, "You actually got there first. You're really amazing!"

"Hey? Brother, is this what you want to say?"

"Hmm? What else?" Judai scratched his head, "I thought we would be the first to explore this place, but we turned out to be second after Caesar. It's really disappointing."

"But then again, didn't Caesar go straight to the big tree like Manjome and the others? We didn't see Caesar at all along the way."

After hearing Judai's words, Caesar turned around and said calmly, "I'm not very interested in this virtual world, and I don't intend to waste my time on boring travel. So from the beginning, I never left the duel field where I entered the game."

"Also, you who came here can only be considered third place. I am second place, and the first place is someone else."

"Huh? There are other experts?" Judai did not feel disappointed, but said excitedly, "Who is who? How did he manage to explore such a deep place so quickly? Could it be that the person has already explored this secret realm?"

"Secret realm? I don't know what you mean by that, Judai, but this doesn't seem to be a 'secret realm', meow." Daitokuji followed Judai and was the third to pass through the gate. He looked at the lush forest behind the gate and said, "Although it looks like the same forest as the environment you guys entered before, this is a completely different world. Even the laws of physics have changed. For example, the gravity coefficient has become 9.8N/Kg."

Maeda jumped curiously when he heard this, but he didn't feel any change in the gravity on his body. He asked Daitokuji in confusion, "But Daitokuji teacher, is there really a change? I can't feel anything at all. And I remember that the gravity coefficient taught in junior high school was 9.8."

"No, I only told you in junior high school that the proportionality coefficient of gravity was about 9.8. It's not actually that accurate. I just calculated it as 9.8 or even 10 to make it easier for you to do math, meow." Daitokuji explained seriously, "In the world we were in at the beginning, gravity was also quite realistic, but after I walked out of that temple, I felt that gravity became lighter and became an extremely accurate 9.8."

"That's why I concluded that this is another world, meow!"

"You are the teacher of alchemy class, why are you teaching us physics? I thought we didn't need to learn this knowledge in Duel Academy." Maruto Sho couldn't help but complain, "Besides, I didn't see you take out any measuring tools, Mr. Daitokuji?"

"I don't need those things. My new body is the best measuring tool. Not only gravity, I can also accurately measure changes in temperature and air humidity, as well as wind direction, direction, and so on."

Although the hardware itself came from the Kaiba Group, the "software" part of controlling the body was entirely adjusted by Daitokuji himself. The ability to digitize perception was one of Daitokuji's attempts on this new body. Now, the genuine surprise and admiration on the faces of Judai and the others made Daitokuji quite pleased, and he put his hands on his hips proudly.

"Just now I thought I was seeing things, or it was an illusion created by the virtual world, but it turned out to be you, Mr. Daitokuji?" He had originally looked at Daitokuji with suspicion, but from the moment Daitokuji began to explain, Maruto Ryo looked at Daitokuji with a rather hungry look, and at this moment, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile that was extremely rare on him in the past. "Could it be that your death was also part of the principal's plan?"

"But it doesn't matter. Although it was not my original intention, I was able to meet a strong man like you after entering this world, which means that my previous efforts were not in vain." As he spoke, Marufuji Ryo raised his arm and showed the duel disk, "Come and duel with me, let me enjoy it, Master Daitokuji."

"No, according to the latest leaked information, perhaps you should be called the last and strongest member of the 'Seven Stars' - Amunaeru!"

Although Marufuji Ryo was full of fighting spirit, Daitokuji waved his hand and said, "Stop it. Kagemaru has already ascended to heaven, so how can there be any 'Seven Stars'? Besides, I gave up my name as the alchemist Amunaeru a long time ago - 'Amunaeru'."

"This is already my third life. Now I'm just your beloved Daitokuji Hugo teacher, meow~" While saying this, Daitokuji also winked at the others in a cute way.

"Although Daitokuji teacher did stand on the side of that old man like a fool (Daitokuji: Hey!), he is not like the other 'Seven Stars' who hurt other people in the school. Caesar, don't be so hostile to Daitokuji teacher."

Judai said casually. As far as he knew, after Daitokuji appeared beside Kagemaru as the alchemist "Amunaeru", he only fought him when he tried to stop him and Asuka.

"Hostile? No, I just want to enjoy the duel and the victory. Besides, it's normal for me to be hostile to him." Caesar sneered, "Fubuki is not the only missing student in my grade. Since you admire heroes, you should also hate the mastermind who has plunged your classmates into darkness, right, Judai?"

"Of course. Wait a minute, Caesar, do you mean that it was Master Daitokuji who made Fubuki and the others disappear?" Judai's reaction was not slow, and he immediately understood what Maruto Ryo meant, and looked at Daitokuji in surprise. Unlike the "Seven Star Invasion" event on another timeline, where the "Seven Stars" lined up and entered the scene one after another in an orderly manner like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, the "Seven Star Invasion" that Judai and his friends experienced was that all the "Seven Stars" went out collectively, forcing all the key guardians to go out collectively to fight. The biggest difference between the two is time.

After all, in the former case, even if one "Seven Stars" came a day, it would take at least eight days to end the incident with the final Shadow Maru, not to mention that it took several days to defeat Camilla, Tanya and others among the "Seven Stars" on the other timeline, and during this period, there were also the Seahorses, Anasis and others who appeared, so the total time was at least one or two months.

The "Seven Star Invasion" that Judai and his crew experienced this time, from the distribution of keys, the discovery of the invaders to Hayato killing Kagemaru, all ended quickly in less than a day.

The time gap led to a problem - after "Darkness", one of the "Seven Stars", was defeated by Judai, Daitokuji had already died with Kagemaru, before he woke up and told others what he knew and what happened before his disappearance. As a result, Judai had no idea that "the disappearance of Tenjouin Fubuki and other classmates was related to the 'Advanced Alchemy Club' opened by Daitokuji teacher."

However, Daitokuji refused to admit this and quickly denied it: "I made Fubuki and the others disappear? That's not the case. This matter has nothing to do with me at all, meow! Eh? No, it seems to be somewhat related? That's right, that's right, ah, no, no, no!"

"Does it have anything to do with you, Mr. Daitokuji?" Maruto Sho was a little confused by Daitokuji's long-winded mumbling, and asked while shaking his head.

Although the student council member disappeared because he did not keep his notes properly, the main responsibility lies entirely with Fujiwara Yusuke who stole his notes, and Tenjouin Fubuki also disappeared because of Fujiwara Yusuke's behavior. If we put it in another way, car B behind car A did not rear-end the car in front, but car C rear-ended car B and then car B rear-ended car A. Car B - that is, Daitokuji Temple is obviously not responsible!

After figuring this out, Daitokuji said confidently: "It doesn't seem to be the case with me. I don't think so, meow!"

"Just pretend it didn't happen. But that won't stop me from challenging you to a duel. Just think of it as me venting my dissatisfaction on behalf of Fubuki." He made up an excuse, but Marufuji Ryo still wanted to duel with Daitokuji.

Daitokuji also noticed this. Although his temperament had changed, it seemed that Marufuji Ryo was still the same Marufuji Ryo. It was just that now he no longer used his previous habits to cover up his true emotions, and fully expressed his desire for duel and victory. At the same time, he also completely abandoned unimportant things such as past honors.

In fact, Daitokuji was one of the only few people in the academy who noticed Marufuji Ryo's situation. Besides him, Kobayashi Hayato also noticed it. However, he did not change Marufuji Ryo's mind. Instead, he wanted to see when he could realize his inner nature and be himself again. His change now was also within Daitokuji's expectations.

But this does not mean that Daitokuji will accept Marufuji Ryo's invitation to duel. After all, although he is a competent teacher who cares about his students, his identity after that is an alchemist who is actually quite paranoid. Marufuji Ryo is quite talented in dueling, but he does not have enough alchemical talent to move Daitokuji. Compared to dueling with Marufuji Ryo, he would rather duel with Judai more so that Judai can grow faster.

Therefore, he immediately thought of an excuse: "Even if something like that happens, it should be left to Fubuki-san to do it herself, right?"

"He doesn't have that ability, because he was the first person to come to this place, and now no one knows where he has gone. Moreover, he didn't come here voluntarily, but was kidnapped by a woman." Marufuji Ryo said something incredible in an understated manner, "The woman suddenly appeared with a mechanical giant near the duel arena when everyone entered the virtual world, and then the mechanical giant destroyed a robot built by Misawa Daichi right away, and attacked others."

"What? They actually did something so outrageous!" Judai said excitedly, "I haven't even seen the robot made by Misawa!"

"Wait a minute, brother, why are you so concerned about this? Didn't you notice that the others were attacked? Don't get so excited when you heard that Misawa's robot was destroyed!"

"Because robots are a man's romance." Judai said, and suddenly realized something was wrong, "Strange, did I say 'Misawa' just now? That's his name, right? I didn't remember it wrong?"

"It seems that this is also one of the rules that have been changed? Can Misawa-san be called by his own name?" Daitokuji speculated.

"That sounds so sad. Are we in a world where Misawa's name is definitely mispronounced?" Maeda Hayato complained, and then looked at Marufuji Ryo, "That robot went crazy, are the others injured?"

"This world is a virtual world. Even if someone is injured, they will be reborn in the duel field, which seems to be a place like a 'resurrection point'. Moreover, Misawa Daichi also defeated the mechanical giant in a duel." Marufuji Ryo paused and continued, "But after that, it was the woman who appeared with the mechanical giant who took action."

"She had no interest in other ordinary people. Instead, she used some unknown means to defeat Misawa Daichi, who had just finished a duel with the mechanical giant, in a very short time. Then, she controlled the plants to seal off the entire duel arena, so that if anyone regenerates there later, they will be caught directly. Then, she discovered me and Amagami Fubuki in the duel arena."

"That woman called herself the [Light World King War - Queen Madol], and said something like 'You are a born evil human brat' and forcibly took Fubuki away. I was also affected and brought to this world, and when I turned around, I saw you suddenly appear."

What Marufuji Ryo said seemed to be very detailed, but he quietly concealed some parts and did not explain. For example, after Fubuki was captured, the woman called [Light World King War] controlled the plants to form a wall to intercept her, and then deployed a very mysterious teleportation array to take herself and Misawa and Fubuki who were tied up by vines and fell into a coma away. Having experienced the feeling of losing a friend, she almost moved forward in parallel with the attack of [Cyber ​​Dragon], and broke through the wall and broke into it at the moment when the teleportation array was about to start.

It seemed that because he did not enter the teleportation array in his entirety at that time, Marufuji Ryo directly experienced the feeling of being split into two by the teleportation array and died, and then was revived and regenerated. Fortunately, he did not appear at the "resurrection point" of the duel arena, but appeared in this natural world full of green. After that, he reunited with Juudai and others.

While they were receiving the information from Marufuji Ryo, Marufuji Sho, who still didn't want to face his brother, looked around and suddenly found a pink butterfly with big eyes on a tree in the distance looking at them. (End of this chapter)
