Chapter 1430: The Ambition of the Manzhangmu Consortium

"Manjome, you mean your brother is planning to come visit the Duel Academy?"

Judai sat backwards on the chair, leaning his head against the back, and said in a somewhat strange tone, "This isn't a problem, is it? What's the big deal about parents visiting the school?"

Although it is a three-person dormitory, because Maeda Hayato graduated early last school year and went to the International Illusion Society, and now it is not the official start of the new school year, their dormitory is very empty, so much so that Manjomu didn't even live in the single room in the blue dormitory and moved directly to the red dormitory.

"It's a big problem!" Wanzhangmu said excitedly, "Put yourself in my shoes. If your parents came to school and met your classmates and told them to take care of you, it would be very awkward, right?"

"Most people only report good news at home, right? They always say good things about things, but when parents come to school, everything is exposed." Marufuji Sho sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at Manjomu, and he felt the same way. "When I think about it, I don't want parents to visit the school either. After all, they will inevitably ask teachers and classmates about their daily lives."

"You can't really check this. What if you find something?"

"What's 'Yes, Duel King'?" Judai complained about a line that Xiang had just said. It was clearly a classic line from the recently popular TV series launched by Kaiba Entertainment Group, played by the big star Baku Ryo. Then he looked at Manjome, "But that is only limited to people who brag to their families, such as those who are obviously lonely but brag about having ten friends, or those who have no special skills but brag about being a class leader valued by the teacher, etc."

"Manjome, you haven't been bragging to your brothers at home, have you?"

However, in response to Judai's casual remark, Manjome wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in silence.

"Uh, Manjome, you weren't really bragging at home, were you?" Marufuji Sho didn't expect that Judai actually hit the nail on the head. Judging from Manjome's expression, it seemed that he really boasted about his school life to his brothers at home in an exaggerated way.

"Nah, nagging! I just told a few white lies to make my family happy!" Manjomu's face turned slightly red due to shyness and embarrassment. "I just made a small mistake that everyone makes!"

"It was just a minor mistake?"

"Because it would be a big mistake to be discovered."

Seeing Judai and Marufuji Sho chatting in front of him, Manjome scratched his hair in annoyance and said unwillingly, "So we must not be discovered. If my brother comes to school and finds out that everything I said at home was just bragging, then I will be socially dead."

"If you're discovered, your image as a younger brother will be completely ruined, so let's make a bigger noise to cover it up." Judai said with a grin, standing up and patting Manjomu's shoulder, "But before that, it sounds like it would be fun to cover for you, so I'll come to help you!"

"And me, and me! I'll do whatever big brother does." Maruto Sho also joined in the fun, "It's rare that Wanzhangmu, who is usually so high and mighty, asks for help, so I can come and help."

"Anyway, we are already in the second grade this year, and we have a lot of free time after school starts, so there is not much to do."

What Marufuji Sho said was true. Unlike last school year, as freshmen, they were very busy for quite a while after entering school, decorating their dormitories, getting to know classmates, joining clubs, etc. It took them two or three months to enter the formal study state. This year, they are already sophomores and are relatively more relaxed.

Although it is only the back-to-school period and the school has not officially started yet, the school has already sent most of the course schedules for this semester to students during the summer vacation. In the three years at Duel Academy, if the first year is used to lay the foundation for students, then the second year is for students to begin to freely develop their own styles, in order to make the "planted seeds bloom" in the third year.

In simple terms, you study hard and memorize a lot in the first year, and then in the second year you can stuff all kinds of cards into the deck to try out some tricks. Use a year of trial and error, and by the third year you will have basically formed your own style and can try to improve it.

For this reason, compared to the numerous basic courses in the first year, the second year has a significantly increased time for interest courses and club activities. Although there are still theoretical exams that can make the tenth generation extremely painful, the second-year students are very relaxed about their extracurricular activities.

It is also during this school year that the vast majority of students find their own specific hobbies because they have too much time. The various clubs on campus often have second-year students as the main members for this reason. By the way, Ooyama Taira, who went to the mountains to practice, and Tenjouin Fubuki, who joined the Daitoku-ji club and was involved in a dark ritual, both disappeared when they were second years, which shows that this plan also has certain flaws. Students who don't have homework to kill their energy are really capable of anything.

However, speaking of Daitoku-ji Temple, it just happened to appear at the door of Judai and his friends' dormitory.

"I thought I heard it wrong. It turns out that you guys, Judai, are already at school, meow~" Holding the big fat cat "Pharaoh" in his arms, Daitokuji poked his head into the room through the open window and smiled at the students he hadn't seen for two months, "And Manjome and Marufuji, long time no see, meow~"

"It's only been two months, Master Daitokuji, how can it be so long?"

"Well, for an old man like me, two months is already a long time. After all, no one can tell how long I can live." Daitokuji said with a smile, squinting his eyes.

But neither Judai nor Manjome, even Marufuji Sho, took Daitokuji's words to heart. After all, they were all people who had experienced the Nanahoshi incident, and they also knew that Daitokuji teacher had been "reincarnated" in this artificial body made by a medical company under the Kaiba Group. The parts of his body had not been used for even half a year, so it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a "newly created person."

Given the product quality of the Kaiba Group, even this "Unit-01" android has a service life that is not much different from that of a normal human. By the time young people like Manjome and Judai have died of old age, Daitokuji, who has assumed a new body, may not have had time to die for the third time.

However, Judai still expressed his welcome and longing for Daitokuji, whom he had not seen for two months, and warmly invited him to come into the dormitory. At the same time, Judai also mentioned a question he had after returning to school: "Teacher Daitokuji, when I came here, I seemed to see that your photo in the window of our dormitory had been taken down?"

"Why is the position of the dormitory head teacher replaced with a picture of 'Pharaoh'?" While saying this, Judai reached out and touched the big orange cat that was sleeping soundly in the arms of the current formal dormitory head - Daitokuji.

"Well, because of what happened last year, without Chairman Kagemaru to cover up the truth, the board of directors found out that I lied about my age, meow." Speaking of this, Daitokuji was also a little helpless. "Although my mental age is over 90 years old, the board of directors deducted all the seniority bonus from my salary in one go on the grounds that my physical age is very young, meow."

"Not only that, they also reset my age. Last year I was supposed to work for 32 more years before I could retire, but this year I have to work for 41 more years before I can retire. This is too much, meow!"

At this point, even Daitokuji felt a little unhappy and pinched the fat thigh of the "Pharaoh" in his arms, causing it to wake up instantly due to the pain, and then it "scratched wildly" at Daitokuji's face - as if to warn Daitokuji that those things he had just mentioned were slides that should not be touched.

"But at least, Mr. Daitokuji, you are still alive, aren't you?" Because the pain of an adult who had to delay retirement was too strong in Daitokuji, Marufuji Sho also comforted Daitokuji, who was full of resentment.

".Marufuji, where did you come from, meow?" After wiping the blood off his face, Daitokuji looked at Marufuji Sho who had just comforted him with words like "Don't you still have life?" and complained.

Shaking his head, he quickly recovered from his self-pity, fully demonstrating the resilience of a corporate slave. And he couldn't deny that what Maruto Sho said was indeed somewhat true - compared to what he thought at the beginning that the alchemy successor he recognized, the Judai, died after the last lesson, he was at least still alive now, and not in the form of a soul but a real living body.

Being alive is indeed more important than anything else.

"Let's not talk about topics that are not suitable for minors, meow. I saw you guys were talking about something interesting just now." Daitokuji shifted the topic from himself back to what Judai and the others were talking about before he came in, and asked curiously, "About 'image', 'mistakes' and the like?"

"It's about Manjome. He said his brother is coming to visit the school, so he asked us to help him maintain his exaggerated image in front of his brother." Judai said casually, then turned his head to look at Manjome and said, "But Manjome, you haven't told us what kind of image you have in front of your brother and others."

"Since your brother hasn't come to school yet, we should prepare in advance."

Not only Judai and Xiang, but even Daitokuji was eager to try: "Since you've moved into Osiris-Red, if you need any help, you can ask me for help, nya, Manjome-san."

"Really? I won't be polite if you say that." Wanzhangmu nodded and repeated all the boasts he had made to his brother.

Although the Manjome Group is not as powerful as the International Illusion Company and the Kaiba Group, it is not a small force. At least, it was a large enterprise with considerable financial resources more than ten years ago. After the birth of the eldest son of the three Manjome brothers, Manjome Nagasaku, Manjome's father, who was the president of the Manjome Group at the time, decided to train his child to become an excellent businessman and inherit and carry forward the Manjome Group.

A few years later, Manjomu's second brother, Manjomu Masaji, was born. He showed certain talents since he was a child, which made Manjomu's father very happy. However, he did not let his eldest son and second son fight for the inheritance of the group. Instead, he worked hard to cultivate the second son's talents in other aspects, so that he could shine in other fields and contribute to the greatness of the consortium.

Manjome Shoji initially chose the Duel Monsters that were initially becoming popular around the world, thinking of becoming an entertainment star or a world champion with influence, but——

Tong Minye High School encountered Kobayashi Hayato, who was as strong as a monster and could dig out dogs with one hand, and he couldn't defeat him no matter how hard he tried.

Not a genius.

Although Manjome Masaji has talents that can be called geniuses in the field of Duel Monsters, almost all the players of Duel Monsters are geniuses, and there are even those who are more talented than geniuses. Manjome Masaji found that he could not compete with Hayato, Yugi, Kaiba and the others, so he decisively changed his mind and sought another way out. Finally, he entered politics after graduation.

But before that, when Manjome Shoji had not yet graduated, one day, the old but strong Manjome father was blessed with another son, the third son Manjome Jun was born, which made him overjoyed because he also showed a certain talent when he was a child. The birth of outstanding offspring time and time again also fueled his ambitions. Manjome's father came up with a brilliant idea with his amazing wisdom -

  Let the eldest son, the second son, and the third son play their respective talents in three different fields and at the same time gain leadership positions to give back to the Manjome Foundation, make the Manjome Foundation bigger and stronger, kick the Kaiba Group and punch the International Fantasy Society, and make the Manjome Foundation great again!

This was the "destiny" of Manjome's future life that was determined by his background when he hadn't even graduated from elementary school - the eldest son, Manjome Nagasaku, who was mercenary and deep-minded, became a businessman who ran a group, the second son, Manjome Masashi, became a politician who was good at networking with the sleeves with his talents, and the youngest son, Manjome Jun, became an excellent duelist in the increasingly popular field of duel monsters.

Today, Manjome Nagasaku has run the Manjome Group into a behemoth that ranks among the top ten in the world, and is still developing rapidly thanks to the cooperation with the first and second ranked International Illusion Society and Kaiba Group; Manjome Shoji has become the mayor of Domino City, which can be said to be the center of the world, and intends to run for prime minister next year.

The two elder brothers had already completed their parts of the original plan of "Trinity All-round Domination" and "Make-Manjome-Great-Again". Naturally, the pressure fell on Manjome, which also made his eldest brother Manjome Nagasaku extremely concerned about his performance in the Duel Academy.

In order to cope with the pressure from his brother, Manjome reported the following to his family:

"Let's play the role of Manjōmu's younger brothers and fans?" After hearing Judai's words, Misawa and Asuka both showed an expression that said "are you kidding me?"

"Onegai, if my brother finds out my true appearance at school, Vatasi——"

To be honest, it’s not surprising that IGN changed the black monkey vote or something like that. After all, the vote can be changed. This is the confidence that America brings me.
