I'm a poker player, not a Yu-Gi-Oh!

Becas, the father of Duel Monsters, finally took back 1% of the shares of the International Illusion Society through Kaiba's mercy not long ago. He was successfully liberated from his busy work, bought a castle in Europe, and lived a luxurious life again. life. At this moment, he was holding a red wine glass and happily clinking glasses with his new friend: an Egyptian mystic.

"Make cards based on the nine planets of the solar system...perfect desu!"

As for the monster that broke the seal: Tragodia, veins popped out on his head when he heard the other party's poor grammar. However, due to the great plan of the gods, he still forced a smile and clinked glasses with Becas: "Then, I will just wait for the good news - it must be a very powerful monster in comparison, right?"

The effect is not important, what is important is the spirits inhabiting the cards - relying on their attraction to the original planet, as long as the time is right, they can be turned into keys and open the door to the dimension. At that time, the earth under their feet... will return to its original universe. God will reset everything!

Tragodia looked at Becas, who had no intuition yet, with an unpredictable light shining in his eyes. He sipped the red wine in the glass as if drinking blood.

Becca J. Clodover, let me... use you as much as possible!

…

Japan, an examination room.

"Huh... Calm down, there are four things wrong, Misawa. There's no need to panic, it's just an ordinary exam. I've gone over all the things you need to master, no problem. You even memorized most of the descriptions of the mortal bone cards. Yeah, Duel Academy can't turn you away. Yes, there's no need to be nervous, calm down..."

The fifth formation is wrong, Misawa Daichi patted his cheek, trying to calm himself down. But it was of no use. He sat in his seat, holding his admission ticket and shaking slightly.

It was impossible not to be nervous, that was the holy place coveted by duelists all over the world: the Duel Academy. I heard that it is a place as cruel as hell, and the loser will feel the pain that is worse than death.

Moreover, four years ago, the first Duel King Hoshimi Hitomi transformed into Overlord Hoshimi and kidnapped everyone including Yu-Gi-Oh, Seto Kaiba, and Katsuya Jonouchi, and became the public enemy of the world. Although there has been no trace of it in recent years, the Duel Academy has been carrying out cruel cultivation-style teaching with the goal of cultivating brave men who can defeat the King of Overlords. Even the students who are eliminated are still as powerful as one against a hundred in the outside world.

With such a harsh teaching system, the entry standards are naturally extremely strict.

Every year, the number of students applying for duel academies worldwide exceeds one million. But no matter how the number of applicants surges, the number of enrollment in Duel Academy has never changed:

100 people.

Yes, none is too much, none is too little. There are only...a mere hundred people.

Only one person will be chosen among tens of thousands of people. This is the cruelty of Duel Academy's admissions system.

He has six awns, no, Misawa Daichi is indeed a first-class honors student in his own school. He has always been ranked first in the school for three years in junior high school. He is also very strong in duels. He has won the national championship in the PC Cup youth group. The good result of the runner-up was lost to a storyteller who used the hero deck. However, even so, in front of millions of duelists around the world...

Qixing Bah, Misawa Daichi, can you really be at the forefront and get into Duel Academy as you wish?

Huh... I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the less confident I am.

While the boy was thinking wildly, the invigilator had already started distributing answer sheets. Eight feet... crossed out, Misawa Daichi, admission ticket number: 1145141919810... confirmed.

Taking a deep breath, Kujo... Misawa Daichi raised his head and waited quietly for the moment the exam bell rang.

Suddenly, he felt something cold on the back of his neck, as if someone was looking at him. He turned around and saw that it was a young man with black hair and black eyes, whose hairstyle showed that he was very bad at playing cards. The young man's face was perfect, so handsome that he couldn't tell the difference between male and female, and he was looking at him with a curious and scrutinizing look.

Seeing Tohka, Misawa Daichi turned around. The corner of the young man's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He used his mouth to pronounce the three syllables of the earth.

You, wu, ji... You Wuji? No, no, it should be You Wuji, Wu Ji... or something like that? Wuji and so on are too middle-of-the-road.

Liangyi... Misawa Daichi nodded towards the young man, smiled in greeting, and then turned his gaze back to the invigilator.

The bell rang and the test papers began to be distributed!

The moment he got the test paper and scratch paper, Misawa was not in a hurry to start reading the questions. Instead, he scanned the question types from beginning to end and nodded: There are no questions. The question types and score ratios are the same as in previous years. The test paper is the same, there is no change!

There are five entrance exams for Duel Academy, which are:

1. Comprehensive quality. Chinese Mathematics English Physics Chemistry Current Affairs. As a duelist of the new era, we are not allowed to partial to subjects. Idiots who can't even learn languages ​​​​and mathematics are not worthy of entering the Duel Academy - by the academic director of the Duel Academy: Professor Cobra.

2. Physical fitness. Duelists are sometimes forced to fight in extreme environments, and a healthy body is the cornerstone of everything.

Passing the above two assessments is just a stepping stone to qualify for real competition. What comes next is the real test——

3. Duel theory. As a duelist, are you familiar with the rules? Do you understand the current environment? Adaptability, familiarity with popular cards, deck building, playing ideas... This exam comprehensively examines the theoretical level of duelists. Theory and practice of duelists are equally important. This exam will eliminate nearly 70% of candidates. Only hundreds of thousands of candidates are left out of the millions of candidates in the world.

4. Practical assessment. It is not advisable to have only theory but not be able to apply it in practice. Negative emotions such as stage fright will also be passed. The Duel Academy only accepts the elite of the elite. In the duel with the examiner, the examiner will score based on the examiner's operation and on-the-spot performance. If the score is too low, even if the examiner is defeated, it will be judged as failing and will be directly disqualified. This exam will eliminate 90% of candidates. Only 10,000 candidates will remain out of the hundreds of thousands of candidates who passed the written test.

5. Interview. The Duel Academy seems to have its own set of evaluation criteria. In the past four years, there have been many cases where high-scoring candidates have been eliminated. This exam is the final exam, and the final number of candidates will be selected from 100 out of 10,000.

After the above process, 99.99% of the candidates will be eliminated, and the remaining ones are the elite among the elites. These people will be carried by luxury cruise ships to the Duel Academy on the Pacific Island: Hell Island, for a three-year hellish training. After that, they can choose to graduate and become professional duelists to shine, or continue their studies and enter the university institutions under the Paradis Company for further study.

Yes, the Duel Academy has a named elementary school, and has established junior high school and high school departments at the headquarters, but there is no university college, which is really strange.

At this time, a harsh bell rang through the examination room. Luanyi... Misawa Daichi quickly threw away the complicated thoughts in his mind, picked up the pen and started to fill in the card. The exam officially began!

The first question is a multiple-choice question. Let me see...

Question 1, which of the following cards is not a common hand pit in the current environment? A. Gray Flowing Beauty. B. Primitive Life Form Nibiru Planet. C. Infinite Bubbles. D. PSY Skeleton Driver.

Of course, choose D. Driver is a Level 6 bone monster that makes people feel extremely annoyed on the shooter. The hand pit is called "Skeleton Driver". And the P prefix has been restricted, and it is almost invisible in the current environment. Free points, easy, next question, next question.

The first question helped Zero Daichi regain some confidence. He maintained this momentum and made great progress.

The second question is a discussion question. Based on the situation on the field and the duelist A's hand, discuss how the player should play the card and give your own reasons. There is no standard answer for this question, because the opponent's cover card cannot be confirmed. As long as it makes sense, it's easy.

The third question is a material question, solving the endgame. Skip this question first, finish the essay of the fourth question first, and then look at this question, in case there is not enough time.

The fourth question is a composition question. Please briefly describe the popular decks in the current environment and your deck's response ideas... Haha, this topic is the same for every year's composition, but the environment is always changing and there is no standard answer. I had memorized the draft in my mind more than ten days ago!

Sancai... Misawa Daichi happily moved his sore wrists and prepared to write a long speech. However, at this moment, the sound of tables and chairs being pushed was heard - someone handed in the paper!

So fast! ?

He looked up in disbelief, and saw the black-haired and black-eyed boy who had cast his eyes on him before, leisurely walking towards the door with his stationery. Facing the surprised eyes of the candidates, he raised his head slightly, as arrogant as an emperor inspecting his people.

"I bet everything on the actual battle." He said, looking around the whole room, his eyes lingered on Misawa Daichi for a moment.

"The written test... is not worthy of my score."

"Well, this candidate, please leave the examination room immediately after handing in the paper, otherwise I will judge you as cheating."

"..."

In the end, the black-haired and black-eyed boy succumbed to the power of the invigilator and left the examination room in disgrace. Before leaving, he glanced back at Misawa Daichi with a meaningful look.

What does that mean? Misawa Daichi, who was obsessed with writing essays, didn't know yet.

Time flies. One week later, the practical exam... begins!

On the road leading to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Dome of Kaibaland, a boy with an orange jellyfish head and a gray jacket is running.

"Wow! We're late, late! Why did the subway break down at this critical moment! Are the taxes paid by taxpayers really used well for public construction, you good-for-nothings!"

'Tenth Generation, I let you go out two hours earlier...' Yubel sighed and spread his hands. Her power still followed the rocket and wandered in the universe. Now she is just a weak mortal with 0 attack power, and she can't help the ninth generation.

'Run, run. We should be able to get to the venue before the end. ’

“I’m running as fast as I can…ah be careful!”

“Duang!” With a loud bang, Judai, who was running wildly, collided with a tall figure.

“Ah, it hurts…I’m sorry, are you okay?” Judai sat on the ground and scratched his head a little embarrassedly. It was his fault for bumping into someone, and he still had some responsibility.

“Do you want to go to the hospital…Hey, uncle, is this your card?” Looking at the cards scattered on the ground, Judai was stunned for a moment, and his brown pupils turned into a frightening golden color for a moment.

‘Such a strong…dark power…’

"No, not really. In fact, I'm looking for a suitable person to entrust this guy. Young man, I see that you are young and have amazing talents. You will definitely achieve great things in the future... How about I give you this card?"

The corner of the mouth of the young man with a hedgehog head and sunglasses curled up slightly. The dark sunglasses reflected the confused face of the orange jellyfish head.

Chapter 255 23 0

"Hello, I'm No. 1 in Tokyo Examination Hall 4... Daichi Misawa, I'm here to take the practical test. I shouldn't be late, right?"

Before entering the examination room, No. 1 in the Japanese examination hall, Daichi Misawa, who ranked first in the written test in this area, confirmed.

With the first place in the written test, and the first place in Japan, Daichi Misawa is more or less confident. With this result, even if he is not selected for the Duel Academy in the end, there will be many excellent colleges and universities open to him.

"Of course not. The practical tests in all examination halls are arranged from low to high according to the nouns. First, the students with lower written test scores, and then the top students like you. No. 1, you can sleep in before coming." The invigilator smiled. Good students always get various preferential treatments in the eyes of teachers.

"Thank you. I also want to see the true strength of the candidates and examiners." Misawa Daichi smiled and nodded, and walked into the examination room. The practical test is open to the public. The card deck used by the examiner is randomly selected by the machine from the LV database. The candidates cannot make targeted adjustments and can only rely on hard skills and a little luck.

When Misawa Daichi walked into the examination room, there were not many candidates, and they were sparse. It was still early. Except for the candidates who ranked low and yawned, most students would rather sleep in and arrive at a leisurely time.

He found a place to sit down and waited patiently. Soon, with the sound of pleasant music, the practical test officially began.

"Candidate No. 300, You Wuji, please go to Examination Room No. 1 to take the exam."

"299..." "298..." "..." "291..."

The radio announced ten candidates at once, and asked them to go to Examination Rooms 1-10 for practical tests. Nine students, either eager to try or anxious, stepped onto the duel stage and opened the duel disk in front of the examiner and the grading teacher. However, no candidate came to Examination Room No. 1.

"Candidate No. 300, You Wuji, please go to Examination Room No. 1 to take the exam. No. 300..."

The broadcast was repeated twice, but still no one went to the examination room. So, the voice on the radio announced directly: "No. 300, absent. Please wait for the next candidate to enter the examination room."

"Did you get the time wrong? Or did you give up because you ranked low in the written test?" Misawa Daichi muttered to himself. This kind of thing is not surprising. Even in the previous written test, there were several candidates absent in his examination room. However, You Wuji...

you, wu, ji... no way?

Misawa remembered the handsome boy who handed in his paper early and threatened to bet all his hopes on the actual battle in his previous examination room.

...Shouldn't it be?

He didn't have time to think too much, the duel had already begun. He quickly focused and looked at the examination room seriously, wanting to take this opportunity to observe the examiner's thinking.

While he was observing others carefully, there were others observing Misawa Daichi.

"Is it him?" The blue-haired boy in a black coat and indifferent asked indifferently.

"Ah, it's him. The top student in the Japanese examination room, the runner-up of the PC Cup Youth Group, 'Scholar' Misawa Daichi. How is it, Lord An Caesar? Do you still like him?" The frivolous boy put his arm around his friend's shoulders and said in a teasing tone.

"Fubuki, don't call me that stupid name. 'Caesar' or 'Dark Caesar' are just titles imposed on me by others. I don't deserve that name." Marufuji Ryo shook his head, his eyes deep. He remembered the things he did when he was studying at the Star Eye Duel Academy on Earth No. 2, and the student union president known as "Fierce Fang". It was ten years too early to call himself "Caesar" in front of him.

"I'm Marufuji Ryo... that's all."

"Oh, so scary. Although it seems a little easier to get along with than before, it's actually more difficult." Fubuki couldn't help but exclaimed, "I wanted to introduce my sister to you... but you're like this, I'm really worried about you."

And Marufuji Ryo shook his head and refused: "Forget it. My lover is a duel monster. Compared to that, Fubuki, is there any change in the duel environment on Earth No. 1 now compared to when I left?"

"What a second-year speech..." Tenjouin Fubuki sighed, knowing that she couldn't persuade this My old friend with Chuunibyou syndrome could only say, "It's still the same inside the academy, it's so bad that it makes people despair. The brave, the water machine hundred-headed dragon, the connecting cross. Either they are suspended for a turn, the anaconda phoenix man, or the storyteller is overtime. It's a shitty environment that makes people unable to see the future."

"Outside the academy, it can be considered a hundred flowers blooming, after all, the bad components in the academy are strictly prohibited from being used outside. The dark world, the megalith relics, the heroes, the dragon tribe, FTK... The environment is still harmonious."

Hearing this, Marufuji Ryo nodded slowly: "That's not bad, much better than Earth 2."

He was really beaten up over there! He almost gave up on the Cyber ​​Dragon! Fortunately, with the help of the "Fierce Fang", he gained the power of triumph, which was able to support him to continue on the path of the Cyber ​​Flow.

Um, Cyber ​​Dark?

What's the big deal?
