I Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game

Chapter 772: Competition

Chapter 772: Competition

Unsurprisingly, the duel between Yuei Vu and Seto Kaiba became the headline topic in Duel Academy for the next whole week. You could hear people talking about it almost everywhere, in the classrooms between classes, in the corridors outside the classrooms, in the noisy cafeteria, and on the tree-lined paths outside the Academy.

After this battle, the students also have a clearer understanding of the strength level of the top duelists in the world today. Those students who were originally proud and complacent and felt that they were close to the first-class masters were also forced to accept their own shortcomings.

Since that day, Manjome Jun entered a highly tense state of preparation for war.

The instruction from his master, Seto Kaiba, was also the most important mission he has received since becoming Kaiba's apprentice, which was to defeat Yuki Judai in the upcoming selection competition and win the spot to represent the academy in the exchange competition with Northern Academy.

The exchange competition itself was not a key point. It is said that Northern Academy has never won the exchange competition with the main department in the past years. The level of students there was generally not as good as that of the main department.

However, to get a place in the competition, it meant that Manjome must first defeat all other outstanding students in the department during the selection process. Naturally, it was impossible to bypass Yuki Judai in this process.

That was the opponent he had to defeat!

These days Manjome had been waking up early and working hard even harder than usual. He changed the structure over and over again, consulted and memorized a large amount of card information, and constantly searched for cards that he thought suited him from the huge card library and tried various possible combinations.

He has been dueling a lot with his junior brother these days. It was one-on-one at first, but later he felt that these so-called "top students" were too weak, so he simply let two or even three of them play together, but he was still able to win easily.

He studied all the duel videos of Yuki Judai until midnight, created special folders to classify the videos, and recorded a large number of notes about his experiences.

Sometimes when the class was about to start, he would still concentrate on studying the videos he has watched countless times on the computer, exploring the tactical patterns and ideas of Yuki Judai.

His junior brothers couldn't help but murmur in private.

Is Big Brother watching the video of Yuki Judai again?

Why is he so obsessed with that kid? I have seen he watched that guy through the window last time.

Its true to say that. Big brother wouldnt be interested in such a silly boy, right?

By chance, Manjome came out with a mug to pour coffee and looked at them with a cold face: "What are you muttering about?"

The boys were startled and quickly changed the subject gracefully. From then on, no one dared to mention it again.

Within a few days, the official notice from the Academy came down.

Eight students, including Yuki Judai, Manjome Jun, Tenjoin Asuka, Misawa Daichi, and even Marufuji Ryo, who was known as the Academys Kaiser, were all called to the conference room after school one day.

Principal Samejima and Professor Chronos have already been waiting here.

With a smile on his face, Professor Chronos told all the outstanding students present about the upcoming annual exchange duel with Northern Academy.

Oh oh oh! Judais eyes lit up, Does this mean I can fight against a very powerful guy!?

Looking at all the students present, they were all top students with excellent grades. Only Yuki Judai was the last in almost all theoretical classes. However, a certain jellyfish head didn't have any consciousness of being out of place. Whenever he heard that cards were being played, he got excited all over.

Of course, many students in the school know that this jellyfish head, despite being the tail of a crane, had an impressive record of defeating Professor Chronos in the entrance exam, and no one thought it was inappropriate for him to stand here.

There were only eight people present, and it seemed that there were only eight candidates selected by the academy. Among the candidates for this year's representatives were Judai, Manjome, Misawa Daichi, and Asuka. They occupied four places, which shows that this freshman class was extraordinary.

Chronos said that the eight of them need to compete for the only qualifying spot and compete as representatives of the academy. This weekend we plan to hold an elimination tryout.

But before the fight started, Marufuji Ryo spoke first: "I already played as the representative last year, so I won't go this year."

Arent you going to participate, Ryo? His mentor Samejima asked unexpectedly.

Hmm. Marufuji Ryo glanced at Judai from the corner of his eye, then quickly turned his eyes back to his mentor, bowed, and said, My practice is not enough, I still need more effort.

Even though his sight at that moment was so hidden that Judai himself didn't even notice it, it was caught by Manjome, who had been paying close attention.

Manjomes eyes were secretly surprised.

What does it mean?

Could it be that Marufuji Ryo, known as the Academy's Kaiser, had already been defeated by this Yuki Judai?

What a surprise, he is indeed a student of that Duel King. Although he looks silly and has no brains on the outside, his strength should not be underestimated.

Ill pass it, too. Asuka also said.

Misawa said unexpectedly: "Asuka, why are you doing this?"

"Judai and I have already fought against each other in private." Asuka didn't feel embarrassed at all and said honestly, "My strength is not enough, and I don't think it will be any different if we do it again."

As she spoke, she even thought about the stomachache she felt when her "Cyber Blader" was instantly killed by Judai's "Karma Cut"

Misawa looked at Judai with some surprise.

Even Asuka actually lost to him? And from her words, it sounded like she was completely defeated.

Is this Yuki Judai that strong?

Manjome looked at Judai with even sharper eyes.

Even so, he was confident that he would never lose and could not lose!

At this time, Judai who was the focus of attention had no idea of being the center and was even distracted.

Suddenly I really want to eat natto

After that day, Manjome only became more attentive, waking up early and cramming at night. To save time, he didn't even go to the canteen in the dormitory after class at noon. He only brought a cup of noodles with the theme of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from the canteen.

However, when he was eager to rush back to the dormitory to continue studying the video and studying the gameplay, he happened to hear a voice that he was very familiar with these days.

Ah~uh-huh. Marufuji Sho leaned against the river and yawned, Aniki, its time to go have dinner. I havent seen a single fish all morning.

Well, it seems so. Im just not lucky and theres nothing I can do about it.

Manjome stopped and took a closer look. When he saw Judai lying on the bank of the river with his legs crossed and holding a pair of fishing rods, he almost got angry.

I work hard from morning to night every day to prepare for the battle, but in the end, why are you just like a retired old man, doing nothing but fishing?
