Chapter 147 20 The so-called fate

Manta ray nest.

The scavenger walked out of the underground prison and walked to the sink to wash off the blood stains on his gloves.

"How is it? Has General Dong recruited him?" Li Xu asked.

"No...he knows nothing about the Nightmare Knights. General Winter is just a disposable pawn used by Nidhogg to attract our attention." Lingya took off his helmet and shook his head.

Of course, it is not ruled out that General Dong's will is strong enough to completely resist his torture and truth serum. But judging from his mental state, that possibility is not very high.

"As expected." Hoshimi Hitomi said calmly in front of the main console. With his fingers flying, he was further strengthening the firewall of the manta nest. During Nidhogg's declaration of war, the super firewall of Manta Nest successfully blocked Nidhogg's invasion, but it was also seriously damaged. So it needed to be repaired and further strengthened: Nidhogg was not going to stand still. The next offensive will be stronger.

Of course, in fact, he was just knocking randomly, and the fire dragon took care of everything. And Li Xu looked at Hoshimi Hitomi's completely incomprehensible operation, and thought that her level was not enough, and she was far inferior to Hoshimi Hitomi's hacking skills.

"Do you already know Nidhogg's goal?" Lingya asked quickly after hearing something in Xing Jiantong's words.

"In Nidhogg's declaration of war, the words teachers, courses, and the start of school were mentioned many times. I think these hints... No, this is simply an explicit statement. It has a high reputation around the world and is a holy place for cultivating future duelists. ——”

"Star Eye Duel Academy!!!" ×2

Ling Ya and Li Xu exclaimed in unison. Indeed, tomorrow is the opening day of the academy. Principal Hoshimi Hitomi, teachers who have retired from front-line duelists, top students who are the hope of the future of the world, parents of students, dignitaries of Shinon City, mayor Fika Amagi and The Secretary Amyrlin will be present to attend the opening ceremony. If the Nightmare Knights had planted a laughing gas bomb at the opening ceremony—

"Don't be nervous. Now that I know Nidhogg...the Nightmare Knights' plan, I will never let them succeed." Hitomi Hoshimi said calmly, "I have already contacted the Amyrlin. The security robot will be killed by Nidhogg." Hogg is hacked and cannot be trusted, so there will be thousands of human guards patrolling the perimeter of the opening ceremony tomorrow.”

"On this basis, I also contacted the [Three Heraldic Brothers] and [Galaxy] to help with patrols to ensure nothing goes wrong. Lixu, I have asked for leave for you. Tomorrow you will stay in the Manta Nest and be alert to Ned at all times. Hogg’s Hack.”

Li Xu nodded in agreement, while Ling Ya hesitated for a moment and said, "Black Manta, I don't think this is safe. The best way is-"

"Stop the opening ceremony, or even delay the start of school. I know that this is indeed the best way." Hitomi Hoshimi nodded, seeming to agree with the scavenger's suggestion, "But have you ever thought about it, the start of school can be postponed for a week , one month or even one year. But it cannot be postponed forever. Moreover, this will make us fear the Nightmare Knights."

"Lingya, heroes can't be afraid of criminals, it should be the other way around. Those criminals in the dark must be afraid of us, because we are in the abyss they can't reach, and we are more terrifying monsters than them, and we will rush out at any time to smash them. Break their bones, eat their flesh, and drink their blood.”

"And... this may not be a bad opportunity. For this opening show, Nidhogg will definitely send members of the Nightmare Knights to the scene. If we can counterattack and capture one or two members of the Nightmare Knights - —”

"We can solve the problem once and for all, and even...catch Nidhogg, the dragon that has never seen its tail!" Goddess Lingya's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were full of excitement. Li Xu's eyes also shone, but when he thought that he would have to wait in the manta nest all day tomorrow, he was inevitably a little frustrated.

However, this is the task of being an oracle. Also...there is nothing we can do!

"That's it. Lingya, Lixu, today's training is suspended, go to bed early. I have a hunch that there will be a big battle waiting for us tomorrow." Hoshimi Tong raised his head, as if he was looking through the ceiling and hundreds of meters away. Thick clouds, looking up at the stars.

‘Tonight we have to connect and summon Shenlong. There will be a big show tomorrow, so you have to be energetic. ’

The two naturally nodded in agreement. After using a drone to transport General Dong, who had a bruised nose and face, to the police station, the three of them had dinner early and went back to their rooms to recharge their batteries.

Hoshimi Hitomi entered the room with Xiaomi in her arms, the half-dragon maids and a reluctant Keesla.

A night of silence.

…

The next morning, Star Pupil Duel Academy.

Although Hoshimi Hitomi ate gray pigeons yesterday, the vice principal and academic director had already made arrangements for the opening ceremony. Although there are thousands of security guards and a few superheroes patrolling the perimeter, they can take care of themselves without having to worry.

At this moment, Hitomi Hoshimi was chatting with Fika Amagi, the apparent ruler of this city. The old man, who had completely turned bald from the Mediterranean, had bloodshot eyes and dry skin. He seemed to be in a very bad mental state.

This is natural. According to the information revealed to him by Amy Zuo, many high-level officials in Xinyuan City are already very dissatisfied with him and are secretly preparing black materials to impeach him. There are also many officials on the list provided by the Amyrlin who Fika thinks are loyal and even promoted by him.

This broke Fika's heart, and he didn't even want to listen to her explanation. He just put all of them in jail on trumped-up charges. Although this would further reduce his support rate and reputation, he didn't care about that anymore - [No.] Ka was coming, and he had to make sure there were no problems with his plan.

Oh, by the way, that list was fake. The loyal ministers that Fika thought were loyal were indeed loyal ministers, the kind that were loyal to the death. Then who was the treacherous minister? Anyway, it wasn't the throne (not right).

As for the superheroes and super criminals that appeared inexplicably recently - he really wanted to drive them all out of the heart garden. But it was obvious that he couldn't do it. So let it be. Anyway, things can't get worse, right?

In order to improve his reputation, he also sent his eldest son, Amagi Kaito, to be a superhero. I thought that Kaito, who had been professionally trained and extremely powerful, should be able to easily beat up those super criminals. As a result, the facts slapped Fika in the face: Sorry, the pie deck only seeks stability, not soul.

A mere A-level bottom-tier super criminal "Hippie", using a ridiculous [Naughty Baby] deck, beat the emerging superhero "Galaxy" to the ground. If Black Manta and Scavenger hadn't come to the rescue, Galaxy's debut would have ended in a one-sided beating. Of course, he was the one being beaten.

After that, he was beaten by a few small criminals, and Galaxy finally found that his proud duel skills seemed to be a little... a little distance from those super criminals. So he put down his face and worked as a follower behind Black Manta for half a year. Finally, he had some confidence and could defeat some B-level criminals.

Thinking of those troubles, Fika felt a pain in his head. Maybe he is really not suitable to be the mayor. After destroying the Starlight Realm and curing Yang Dou's illness, perhaps handing over power to the Jade Throne, returning home to enjoy the happiness of family life, is also a good choice... The absent-minded Fika and Xing Jiantong chatted with each other, and his mind had already flown away.

As for Xing Jiantong, he knew. At the beginning, he did suspect that Xing Jiantong, who mastered all the summoning methods added by Nidhogg, was Nidhogg himself.

But after sending the most trusted Jade Throne and spending 3 years to still come to the conclusion that "Xing Jiantong and Nidhogg really have no relationship", Fika had to put aside his doubts and believe that Xing Jiantong was just an ordinary principal.

Caring for the world and educating people. It is indeed great to say whether it is great or not. But it's just that, not as good as him who does scientific research. Scientific research is the future of mankind!

Xing Jiantong was not annoyed, and also chatted with each other, just treating Fika as an NPC. Who is this person, is it worth his attention?

After the greetings, Fika went to the special seats to wait for the opening. Hoshimi Hitomi ticked on the list she prepared to confirm that all the participants and materials for the grand opening ceremony were in place.

Male protagonist, Yuma Kujiu, √.

Male second, Ryoga Kamishiro, √.

The mastermind, Nidhogg and several members of the Nightmare Knights, √.

Several extras, √.

... Everything is fine. Hoshimi Hitomi rolled up the list and threw it into her shadow, letting it be swallowed up.

After that, there was a knock on the office door. After getting Hoshimi Hitomi's permission, the vice principal walked in: "Principal, it's almost time. Those security guards and superheroes have checked, and there is nothing unusual in the whole school. The parents and guests who came to the opening ceremony have also confirmed their identities, and it is true."

"Well... Then, let's go." Hoshimi Hitomi nodded lightly, and the world-accustomed Hoshimi Hitomi did not feel nervous at all, and led the vice principal and a group of academic deans to the venue.

…

“Well, thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in this opening ceremony. Our Xingzhitong Duel Academy is based on the concept of student-oriented...” At the beginning of the opening ceremony, the vice principal stood at the front desk to give a speech, talking endlessly about clichés that made people sleepy.

Xing Jiantong also felt sleepy. He basically didn't sleep last night, and now listening to the vice principal's speech, his eyelids were fighting.

Fortunately, it was enough to listen to the beginning of this speech. The rest of the part was destined to be unnecessary.

Xing Jiantong turned his head and looked at the adult-sized Yuzu not far away, and blinked at him. Yuzu trembled all over and nodded vigorously, causing people around him to look at him strangely. PTSD is this. The more he conspired with Xing Jiantong, the stronger his fear of Xing Jiantong became. At this time, Xing Jiantong's orders were like an imperial decree to Yuzu.

"... So, so, so, so, so... Next, please enjoy the duel performance that is customary at our school's opening ceremony. First, please invite the junior high school freshman representative, Jiujiu Yuma, and our school's junior high school's outstanding student, the student council president, Kamishiro Ryoga, to the stage!" The vice principal cleared his throat and read out the names of the two people loudly.

Yes, Jiujiu Yuma. After guaranteeing an annual scholarship and school bus pick-up, he easily persuaded his sister and grandmother to dig him out of the junior high school where he was supposed to go to college.

Well, in the original story, his family opposed his duel... what?

... Heart Change is really useful. It's worthy of being a banned card!

Oh, by the way, although Kamishiro Ryoga should have just been promoted to junior high school, he has been the student council president since the fifth grade of elementary school and has two years of work experience.

Worthy of being Nash!

"Oh, it's me! I've been preparing for the performance duel at the opening ceremony for a long time!" The sleepy Yuma Jiujiu immediately became excited when he heard about the duel. He stayed up late last night to adjust the deck just for this moment!

"Come on, Yuma!" This is the Moon Viewing Bird who was also poached by Hoshimi Hitomi. She can be called the leader's wife.

"That Kamishiro Ryoga, codenamed Shark, is a famous duelist. Don't lose too badly, Yuma!" This is Yuma's bad friend, Takeda Tetsuo. Although the original plot has basically been washed down the drain, Hoshimi Hitomi still poached all the protagonists. Just in case.

"... Humph, let's finish it quickly." Kamishiro Ryoga snorted coldly. He is obviously a superhero scavenger, but he has to be patient here to attend the opening ceremony... If the Nightmare Knights didn't target this place, who would come!

"Please ask the two students to come on stage and shake hands!" At the urging of the vice-principal, the two stood on the podium at the same time and shook hands with each other.

"Your name is... Shark, right? My name is Jiujiu Yuma, and my dream is to become the duel king. Let's have a happy duel!" Yuma's smile was very sunny, sunny and even a little silly.

"... Kamishiro Ryoga." Ryoga said lightly. For some reason, he always felt that Yuma's smile was a bit irritating.

... Humph, he will not underestimate any opponent. He has seen many super criminals who show weakness to the enemy. Let you see a real duel. I hope you still have the courage to say it out loud, "Becoming the duel king" is an empty dream.

'My Lord, the situation is not right. ' The voice of the King of Shanghai suddenly sounded in Hoshimi Hitomi's ears, 'The chaotic energy hidden in Kamishiro Ryoga's body began to gradually activate. '

'It's right to be wrong. The duel between Jiujiu Yuma and Kamishiro Ryoga... Nash is the beginning and the end, it is accidental and fate. The world will inevitably change with their duel. 'Hiroshi Hoshimi narrowed her eyes slightly, calmly responding to the King of Shanghai in her heart.

From his perspective, the ornament on Yuma's neck, a token from the Astral World: the Imperial Key, emits a brilliant blue light.

On the other side, in the body of Ryoga Kamishiro, probably the part of the heart, responds to the vibration of the Imperial Key and blooms a deep red light.

One blue and one red confront each other from a distance, dragging the three overlapping worlds into a huge vortex.

And all this is known only to Hitomi Hoshimi. Others, including Yuzu and Amagi Fika who came to attend the ceremony, have not noticed anything unusual yet. At most, they just pay special attention to Yuma - that person's son?

The Astral World and the Barian World, the Astral Body and the Thousand Lords, Yuma and Ryoga. Fate... should it be said that fate is playing tricks on people?

Hitomi Hoshimi raised her head. Above the open-air venue, an airship with a large screen playing advertisements was floating.

Now that the actors are all here, it's time for this drama that changes the times to begin.

On the stage, the two people facing each other have already unfolded their duel disks and installed D-viewing goggles.

"DUEL!!!" × 2

Chapter 148 21 Polite Kaito: You?

"DUEL!!!" × 2

[Yuma LP: 8000, ROLL points: 4]

[Ryoga LP: 8000, ROLL points: 5]

Both parties in the duel and the audience put on D-viewing goggles and entered the AR space to watch the battle. Hoshimi Hitomi reached into her pocket and pressed the send button on her smartphone, sending out the text message she had already edited.

"...I'll attack later." Lingya said calmly, giving up the first move again. After all, this was an exhibition match, and it was an unwritten rule that the party with the higher ROLL points had to give up the first move. And as the president of the student union, he still had to do his surface work well.

"Yoshi, I'll attack first! So, what should I do..." Yuma drew 5 initial hand cards from the top of the deck, and looked at his hand, seeming to be hesitant about which card to use first.

Lingya also drew 5 initial hand cards and rubbed them - this was a little habit inherited from Hoshimi Hitomi. When he was a scavenger, he would deliberately restrain himself, but when he was Kamishiro Lingya, it didn't matter.

"Okay, let's go! I Normal Summon--"

"Return to the Standby Phase. Discard the multiplied G in your hand. Each time your opponent successfully Special Summons a monster this turn, I draw 1 card. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn." Lingya interrupted Yuma's operation coldly, rolled the phase back to the Quasi Phase, and discarded G. This was the experience of being tricked by the three-war talent of the human-machine and Hoshimi Hitomi.

And Yuma did not have a card that could prevent this effect from being activated. As the G effect took effect, Lingya's field was filled with dark fog, and countless little guys with strange lights flashing in their eyes rustled, giving a creepy feeling.

“Hmm, it’s my turn… But that doesn’t matter!” Yuma waved his hand, as if to cheer himself up, “Main Phase 1, I Normal Summon, Rumble Rumble Dwarf - Rumble Rumble Gloves! Then activate its effect. You can only activate it once during your Main Phase. Special Summon 1 [Swish Lala] or [Me Me Me] monster from your hand!”
