Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

Chapter 1496: The impression color is pink and the appearance image has two states: girl and adult - isn't that Haman?

A week ago——

"How have you been lately?" Looking at the girl sitting at his desk, Hayato temporarily pulled his attention away from the computer screen and asked about her recent situation.

"The treatment of Kaiba Group employees is not bad, but you know Mr. Kaiba's personality, and he is very busy at work." The girl sighed and looked at the man in front of her with some resentment, "Unlike you, Mr. Hayato, who spends his days leisurely in school every day."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm just slacking off at school every day? I'm busy too." Glancing at the paused game on the screen, Hayato lied without blushing.

"Huh? Mr. Hayato, have you forgotten that there's glass behind you?" The girl pointed behind Hayato and said without giving him any face, "I can see it clearly. Isn't that the "Sasquatch 7" that the International Visions Agency just released the trailer for recently? Why are you playing it now?"

"This is also part of my job. I'm helping to test for bugs." Hayato said confidently, and then changed the subject, "By the way, isn't it good for you to be busy at work? After all, isn't this what you want, Sera?"

"I can't refute that." Sera said with a smile.

The girl in front of Hayato was no one else but Sera, a member of Prana, the younger sister of Diva who used the alias "Blue God" and intended to start the "Dimension Ascension", and one of the many children adopted by Shadi Xin.

After the "Dark Side of Dimension" incident, as Hayato recovered the [Quantum Cube], the golden inverted triangle "Prana" mark on the foreheads of most Pranas, including Blue God, which represented the communication with higher-dimensional power, ascended to a higher dimension and disappeared. However, Sera was the only one who kept it, and she is the only Prana left in the world besides Hayato.

(This incident is also recorded in the second chapter of Volume 10 of "Is This the World of Card Players? Yada Thief")

Therefore, in order to make Lan Shen and his team compensate for the losses caused by the "Dark Side of Dimension" incident, Sera, as the only remaining Prana, stayed in Tongshiye City, occasionally going to the laboratory of Kaiba Group to assist in experiments. Lan Shen and others who were originally let go by Kaiba also asked to stay and become experimental subjects because they were worried about Sera.

Although Lan Shen thought at first that he was going to be sliced ​​or given electrotherapy, it was a different era now and the Seahorse Group no longer used such backward experimental methods. They merely drew a small tube of blood from Sera and Lan Shen, who served as the control group, took a few X-rays, and occasionally had them wear a hat called a "brain wave detector" and sit for a few minutes. That was all there was to the experiment.

In fact, during this period, Haima Group provided Lan Shen and others who participated in the experiment with the same welfare benefits as ordinary employees, including but not limited to large employee dormitories, massage therapy three times a week, luxurious buffets three times a day, and free use of a high-configuration Internet cafe, etc., so Lan Shen and others, who had never had a good life before or after being adopted by Xia Di, almost thought that they were not here to be guinea pigs but to go on vacation.

Unfortunately, Kaiba's research speed was too fast. In less than half a year, he had thoroughly studied Aomi and the others, who had lost their prana abilities and had transformed from "New-Type" to "enhanced humans" only slightly stronger than "Old-Type". He also helped Hayato fully master the usage and various application scenarios of the [Quantum Cube], so Aomi and the others' "vacation" ended quickly.

As for Sera, as the only remaining prana, her abilities have not been fully studied by Kaiba, but for Kaiba, it is enough to make a start. After all, if Kaiba wants to, he can become a prana. The abilities Sera has developed from childhood to adulthood are not as many as what Kaiba has developed in half a month through scientific research. So he lost interest in Sera, lifted the house arrest on Sera and allowed her to leave Tongshiye City.

It happened to be the graduation ceremony of Hayato, Yugi and other high school seniors, and Sera went to watch it because she had nothing to do. Because Hayato saw some kind of yearning in Sera's eyes, he asked Sera if she wanted to go to school.

As a result, the following year, one year after the opening of Duel Academy, the middle school of Duel Academy also began to recruit students from the society. Sera, who was 02 years old at the time, enrolled in a middle school a year ago with the help of the relationship of the Kaiba Group and successfully graduated. She then applied to Duel Academy and became a student of the class of . In other words, Sera was even a senior of Fubuki and Caesar.

However, compared to Caesar and the others, Sera was not well-known in the school. Only those who knew her knew that her strength was not weaker than those strong men in the academy at that time. But most people didn't know that there was a very powerful senior in the Blue Dormitory. They knew more about the first batch of students admitted to the Duel Academy that attracted much attention from the society, and the three boys from the Blue Dormitory who were among the students of the Class of 03 who quickly made a name for themselves as soon as they entered the school.

Last year, before Judai and his classmates entered school, Sera and his classmates were graduating. Because the first batch of students, such as Mizunotsuki Jun, had made great contributions in various fields related to Duel Monsters over the past year, the major groups whose businesses involved Duel Monsters were very concerned about the whereabouts of the second batch of students after graduation. Sera, who had been silent for three years, finally showed some strength before graduation and became the representative of the graduates that year. With the recommendation given by Hayato, she went to work at Kaiba Group.

(Sierra ver.2006)

Counting the time, Sera, who is already 19 years old this year, has graduated and worked for a year. Because of her outstanding ability, her origin from the Duel Academy, and the most important thing in the Kaiba Group - she is very good at playing cards, her position has been promoted very quickly and she has already been promoted to the position of department head.

But because it was Hayato's invitation, Sera did not hesitate to put down her work and take annual leave to come. Even Hayato didn't know the specific reason, he just tried it casually at first.

"So, Mr. Hayato, you want me to play the role of causing trouble for your students?" Sera looked strange, "Just like when you got the [Quantum Cube] and played the villain and caused trouble for Mr. Muto Yugi?"

"I thought I was here to provide protection as a 'security guard' like Mr. Kajiki."

"Hey, how can you say it's a trouble? This is a 'trial'." Hayato shook his finger, "As for the safety guards, there are enough of them, but an environment that is too safe can't cultivate strong people."

"What's wrong with thriving in a greenhouse?"

"This is the fate of a duelist. You must understand this, Sera."

"You treat people as tools? How can a grown-up like you be so narrow-minded?"

"Because I can't just be a duelist like you."

The conversation that sounds too abrupt to others is actually the most basic way of communication between Hayato and Pranas like Sera, or "New-Types".

Hayato looked at Sera and said, "Besides, although I seemed to be forcing those children when I invited them, in fact, they themselves also have a desire to participate in such activities to grow."

"I'm not trying to force the issue. Sera, can you stop the boy from setting sail?"

Sera heard clearly what Hayato meant. He was asking her if she was unwilling to help Hayato play the role of a "villain". She did not give a direct answer, but shook her head to indicate that she was not refusing. She put her hand on her chin, looked at Hayato in front of her, and suddenly asked, "I want to confirm first, is this the method you have chosen, Mr. Hayato?"

"It's different from the Atlantis Emperor's cleansing of the world and reshaping of civilization, and it's also different from Lord Shadi and Diva's unifying people's spirits." After a pause, Sera glanced at the photo on the desk in front of Hayato, "Just a few children who inherited some of your ideas, to what extent can they change the world and change humanity?"

The photo was taken on Halloween last year. Hayato gathered together Judai, Manjome and others who were defeated by him one by one and punished to do homework, including Caesar and Fubuki, and took a group photo with Professor Chronos.

Hayato just smiled and said, "It won't be the old people who create the new era."

There was no need for many words. This sentence was enough for Sera. She nodded to Hayato and said, "Then I believe in you, Mr. Hayato. I will join you." "What exactly are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. Remember the 'Summer Test of Courage' held in school? Just dress up as a ghost and scare people." Hearing Sera's words, Hayato nodded with satisfaction. As he spoke, he took out a deck of cards from the drawer and placed it on the table in front of Sera. "In order to make you more intimidating, I'll give you the reward in advance - this deck of cards."

"Use these cards to create as much trouble as possible, trap the students who are about to reach the end and stop them from moving forward. This is your mission. As the final test of this 'wilderness survival', those who climb over your high wall will grow by crossing the test." After a pause, Hayato smiled mysteriously, "Maybe even new prana can be born from this?"

"By the way, I'll lend this to you as well - the way to use it should be instinct, right?" A golden cube appeared in Hayato's hand.

——Time returns to the present.

After Sera used the new deck given by Hayato, she set up traps near the finish line early. She was also patrolling and waiting for the arrival of the students that Hayato favored, so Misawa met her.

The existence of the [Quantum Cube] not only allows Sera to get rid of the limitation that summoning materialized monsters like Manjomu would cause a huge loss of physical strength, but also allows Sera to more or less restore her prana ability to its peak. In the case of a single person, she can achieve abilities such as changing shape, setting up illusions, and even teleportation, which previously required connecting to the collective prana network.

Now she doesn't need to pretend to be older like she did five years ago, but she still wears a mask to hide her identity. At the same time, she does not forget to create an illusion for people who witness her so that they can see the most terrifying existence in her. What makes Sera a little uncomfortable is that no matter whether it is Misawa or Manjomu, what they see is Hayato Kobayashi who exudes a devilish evil aura.

Unfortunately, there was no one around to listen to her complaints, so Sera had to do her job diligently to hunt down Misawa and the others. During the process, she used all the "spatial perception abilities" of Prana, which Hayato called "New-Type", to constantly micro-control the monsters' attacks, keeping the situation at a level that seemed dangerous but in fact no one would get hurt.

——Wanzhangmu and his men fled all the way down, and the biggest injury was caused by their own car crash when they rushed down the hillside without braking. Sera was worried at the time and secretly set up a buffer spider web at the foot of the mountain.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

However, the chasing game ended quickly. While Sera set up the spider web for protection, she also left behind some aromatic gas that could make people hallucinate - her new monsters just happened to have the ability to secrete such substances. The hallucinating Wanzhangmu even took the initiative to step into Sera's trap, and finally sat on the ground like now and began to grin foolishly, as if they had seen something beautiful in their own illusions.

(Thanks to Mr. Niuwei for the action reference)
"Hey, dinosaur fossils."

"Hey, Professor Bein Stein."

"Hey, Judai."

What kind of messed up dreams are young people having nowadays?
"Then let these people stay here and enjoy their 'endless paradise'."

Looking at the Manjomu and the others, Sera planned to leave for the time being and continue patrolling the surrounding area. "But, is this the only level of the student that Mr. Hayato has high hopes for?"

Sera muttered to herself with a disappointed look on her face. But just as she finished her words, she suddenly turned her head and looked in one direction. The golden inverted triangle on her forehead lit up, as if she sensed something: "This feeling, such a heavy dark atmosphere! But I don't feel any negative emotions, but rather some righteousness?"

"It's like a star flashing. Could that be what Hayato-san is talking about, the new prana, the new 'new human'?"

Without even a moment's sadness for the fall of Manjome, Misawa, and Kenzan, he followed Sera's line of sight and saw Judai Yuki and Sho Marufuji riding tandem bicycles in the distance.

"What a strange smell, is it the scent of flowers?" Rubbing his nose uncomfortably, Judai stopped the car not far in front of Sera and looked at Manjome and others behind her, "Hey! Manjome, Kenzan, and Erze, what are you doing sitting here?"

"Everyone, why are you smiling so strangely? It's just like the expression on my face when my eldest brother's new toy arrives."

"How can my smile be so obscene? If I must say, it's more like Sho's expression when you saw the poster of Dark Magician Girl, right?"

"Wow! Don't spread this kind of thing around, big brother!" Marufuji Shoya, who was sitting in the back seat, leaned out and looked at Manjome and the others, then looked at Sera who was wearing a mask, "But who is this person? Is he also a security guard like Mr. Amerda and Mr. Keith?"

"No, I'm not a security guard. If you must say, it's my fault that your companions became like this." Looking at Yuki Judai in front of her, Sera couldn't find any shining points for a moment. After all, he didn't look as handsome as Kaiba and Hayato, and his personality was as carefree as Jonouchi Katsuya. Although his height was not too tall, it was at least taller than Muto Yugi who was of the same age.

(A game that is collecting error reports for new game trials: A-choo!)

"Huh? Why did you do that to Manjome and the others!" Under Sera's deliberate provocation, Judai was naturally a little hostile to her. "If they have offended you in any way, can't you just say it nicely?"

"Do you think that verbal communication can make people understand each other and end the dispute?" Sera crossed her arms in front of her chest with a cold attitude, "If I want, of course I can make them recover and wake up, but I originally wanted to keep them here and unable to move forward, so there is no reason to do that."

"You want to rescue your companions? But you don't seem to know how to ask others for help." On Sera's arm, the [Quantum Cube] constructed a duel disk. Because of Sera's habit, the style is still the first generation version released six years ago, but the actual performance is similar to that of a modern modification, and can be comparable to the latest Duel Academy limited duel disk used by the tenth generation.

(Oo)

"Fight! This is the fate of mankind. Sadly, only in battle can we communicate."

"Duel!"

[Sera: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

"Duel? I'll just beat you anyway." Seeing Sera ready for a duel, Judai jumped off his bicycle. Marufuji Sho also put it away, then sat weakly aside to rest and watch Judai's duel.

"In order to rescue Manjome and the others, I will win!" Judai simply adjusted the deck, inserted it into the card slot, and unfolded the duel disk, "Duel!"
