Chapter 71 The Top Eight Are Here
As the old saying goes, if you can't beat it, join it. Kobayashi Durant Hayato looked at the extra deck of cards in his hand and once again sighed at the system's ability to create things out of thin air.
However, despite redeeming a new set of cards from the series, Hayato did not add them to the deck to be used in tomorrow's game. This was a surprise he had prepared for Becas, and because the race of this set of cards was relatively single, it was easy to target once exposed.
"Although there is no more [Disruption] as a buffer between the two series, it may be a bit stiff to use. But I have filled up the filter cards, so I won't be stuck, right?" After sorting out the deck, he collected it. Well, Hayato heard someone knocking on the door outside his room and walked out.
——The disruptive monsters still on Keppei——
In the evening, in the banquet hall of the castle.
"That guy Becas, although he is a bastard, actually prepared a sumptuous meal for us." Having learned the correct method from Honda, Jonouchi used a knife and fork to cut a portion of goose placed in front of him with some unfamiliarity. liver. He cut off a piece and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.
"It's so greasy. Is this foie gras?" He glanced at the foie gras on the plate in front of him. "It's just a mouthful of oil. I think the steak is better."
Hayato rolled up a mouthful of pasta with a fork and was about to stuff it into his mouth: "The fat content in foie gras is about 40% to 60%, which is roughly equivalent to the decorative cream on the cake. Strictly speaking, eating foie gras is really delicious. It’s oil.”
"Most of it is oil? Tsk, isn't that fatty liver." Jonouchi pushed away the foie gras in front of him with some disgust and looked at the others. Because the meal provided by Becas did not include Jounouchi's favorite curry, he ended up eating a cream of mushroom soup and a croissant.
"You guys are really leisurely." A female voice came, and the sound was heard in the city, it was a peacock dance.
"Don't you care about tomorrow's game at all? You don't even know who your opponent is yet, but you can still eat so easily." Peacock Mai said while looking at the several empty plates in front of Jonouchi.
Hayato wiped the cheese powder from the pasta on his mouth with a handkerchief: "If you're hungry, you won't be able to concentrate even on the duel. Besides, until now, we haven't even reached the top eight yet."
Bekas installed a huge display screen in the hall, which showed in real time how many people had qualified for the quarterfinals. Currently, seven avatar frames have been lit up on the display screen, but it seems to be to create a sense of mystery, and no one is shown in each avatar frame.
"Thief" Keith, Mai, Jonouchi, Yugi, and Hayato, there are currently five known top eight players, which means that in addition to the five of them, two more people have qualified for the top eight today. However, until now, Hayato and the others have not seen those two people.
Although Becas said that the time limit for qualifying for the top eight is 48 hours, that is, from 9 a.m. on the day of the competition to 9 a.m. on the third day, which is tomorrow morning, according to Hayato learned from the butler, the gate of the castle It will be completely closed after 8pm tonight and no new players will be accepted to join the top eight.
"The Duel Kingdom Tournament selects the strongest duelists. If it takes so long to qualify, such duelists will not be qualified to become the strongest." This seems to be Bekas's original words, Of course, these are the original words after removing his strange English accent.
But Peacock Wu waved her finger proudly and said: "That's not necessarily true. Just because you don't know who your opponents are, it doesn't mean that I haven't collected information about other players~"
As soon as she said these words, not only Hayato and Jonouchi, but also Yugi's attention was attracted. But just when a few people thought she was going to say something next, Peacock Wu sat down on her own, took a taco roll and started eating it.
This made Jonouchi anxious: "Don't just tell half of what you say. Do you really know who the other two people are?"
"If you don't believe me, forget it. Fortunately, I came here to share information with you."
"I believe it. Of course I believe you."
Seeing Jonouchi sitting next to her with a flattering look on her face, Peacock Dance couldn't help but feel a little proud. She slowly took a sip of the red wine next to her and then said: "One of the other two top eight contestants is from the duel monster world. It’s quite a famous dueling dojo, and it’s a sure-fire future teacher.”
"Duel Dojo?" Yugi was slightly stunned after hearing the name, and then asked with some uncertainty, "Miss Wu, are you talking about the 'Electronic Flow' Dojo?"
"Electronic flow!?!" Hayato was shocked, "The one using the 'Electronic Dragon'?!"
"Oh? Hayato, do you actually know about the Electro-Flow Dojo?" Peacock Dance looked at Hayato and Yugi in surprise, "Really, I thought that only professional duelists knew about the Electro-Flow Dojo, so I wanted to show it off in front of you. Well, you all know the result."
‘Then I know very well that electronic flow is something engraved into the DNA of countless poker players, and can even make people give up all the mainstream and join the invincible Sebadoragon. ’ Hayato thought to himself.
Speaking of the representative figure of "electronic flow", there is no other than the second Yu-Gi-Oh work that inherits the world view of "Yu-Gi-Oh! DM" and the super-popular character appearing in "Yu-Gi-Oh GX" - Ryo Marufuji. He single-handedly controls the deck. Yang Lia's card-playing skills are extremely popular among the people, and compared with all the pig teammates, he can be regarded as a rare good teammate of the tenth generation of the protagonist Yucheng.
But that was many years later, and Hayato is still more concerned about the present: "That guy from the Electron Flow Dojo, is he strong?"
"It's not a question of whether I'm strong or not. After all, I'm here to test for information, and others won't take the initiative to reveal my deck." Peacock Dance said, thinking for a while, "That guy said, in fact, he put the stars yesterday We have collected all the chips, but something happened on the way, which prevented us from coming to the castle as soon as possible."
"However, another top eight player has dueled with him." After a pause, Peacock Dance noticed that the "thief" Keith not far away also came to the banquet hall with steps that he would not recognize, and lowered his voice, " That guy from the Electronic Flow Dojo is very good at increasing the attack power of monsters, and can often perform OTK operations."
"OTK?" Jonouchi didn't understand, "What is OTK?"
"The so-called OTK means 'One Turn Kill', which refers to killing the opponent in one round, such as draining the opponent's deck in one round, causing 4,000 points of damage in one round, etc."
"Oh, that's right." Jonouchi nodded clearly, but he immediately noticed something was wrong. Turning his head suddenly, he saw an unfamiliar smiling face.
"You guys are really leisurely. It took a lot of effort for me to get to the castle." A strange man with long blue hair said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Lemuria. We finally met. Hey, everyone who is also in the top eight~"
The large screen installed in the banquet hall was also updated in time, and the last portrait frame lit up, indicating that all eight duelists had arrived.
