Chapter 440: The Tired Saiou Takumi
In fact, although the "key" given by Li Zheng surprised Ed, it didn't actually scare Ed.
After all, he had heard from Saiou Takumo that he would use this card in the duel. He was indeed surprised when he saw this new card in the card pack, but it was not a surprise... It only made Ed believe Saiou's words more.
The person who was really scared by this card was Saiou Takumo.
[Oh my god... It was opened from the card pack? Isn't it the teacher's card that I secretly saved a long time ago? ]
On a small boat heading to the Duel Academy, Saiou Takumo looked at Ed Phoenix on the satellite TV, and he had to hold back a lot of words in his heart, otherwise he would lose his image in front of Ed...
Yes, Saiou Takumo did calculate that Ed would use "Ancestor Dragon·Ancient Dragon" to win, but he had no tricks for the details. For example, how did Ed get this card, Saiou couldn't calculate it.
Although he couldn't figure it out, Sai Wang was not stupid after all. He could easily think that a "world's only" monster like "Ancestor Dragon·Ancient Dragon" should be obtained by Ed from his teacher Fujimoto Akisawa in the past, and then kept on him...
However, just like he once said to Ed, "People who try to use human logic to explain the guidance of fate must have problems with their brains." This time, "fate" played a joke on Sai Wang Zhuomu again.
After a few simple tricks, Ed and Sai Wang ended the communication. Then Sai Wang sat on the sofa beside him with a tired look on his face.
[The wheel of fate is getting more and more broken. If this goes on, I will get less and less things to spy on... Hmm...] Thinking of this in his heart, Sai Wang Zhuomu touched his head and felt more and more tired: [It's so annoying, I really want to not take over this mess, let them die on their own...]
There is a reason why Sai Wang is tired. When Sai Wang Zhuomu was a child, his predictive ability was very stable and accurate. In the case of today, he can predict it almost exactly.
When they were very young, Saiou Takuma and his sister Saiou Misatomo were regarded as monsters by their family because they had the power to predict the future... This is a commonplace story, and there are similar plots in many movies.
In short, after being driven out of their home, the Saiou brothers and sisters opened a fortune-telling shop to make money to support themselves. At that time, the two brothers and sisters depended on each other for survival. Although they lived a hard life, they survived.
The fate calculated by Saiou Takuma at that time was quite accurate. He once relied on a tattered tarot card to calculate the future of a homeless father and daughter sleeping under the overpass, predicting that the "decadent and handsome" homeless man would become a national idol in the future, and that a noble person would help him tomorrow.
They didn't believe it at the time, but the next day the father and daughter really stopped sleeping on the overpass. In less than two or three years, the homeless man became a national idol. Except for Saiou Takuma and his agency, no one else would know that the man was once a homeless man sleeping on the overpass with his daughter...
All these changes started about eight years ago... no, nine years ago. At that time, Saiou Takuma calculated his "noble man", which was Ed Phoenix and Yuki Judai, so Saiou Takuma planned to find these two people as soon as possible so that his brother and sister could get rid of such a hard life.
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to calculate the location of Ed and Judai and then set out to build a good relationship with them, the trajectory of fate began to become blurred!
This made Saiou very panicked, so he didn't take any action. This phenomenon lasted for about a year, and the trajectory of fate began to gradually become clear again... To be precise, it was not clear, but sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic, just like seeing flowers in the fog.
Saiou remembered that the day when the trajectory of fate became chaotic was the day when the "Dueler Kingdom" held by Becas J. Croft was about to start; and the time when fate began to become like now, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't, was the day when the "KC Cup" held by Kaiba Seto ended.
During the past year or so, what happened in the middle, how did fate guide... Saiou knew nothing.
In other words, he and his sister were as helpless as normal people who were suddenly blinded by someone during this year or so - the fortune-telling house could not be opened, but fortunately, he and his sister had no worries about food and clothing during this period.
This is not because of the accumulation of past divination - divination is a business that relies on reputation. No matter how accurate the divination is, an unknown divination master cannot make a living. A famous divination master can make a fortune by just saying a few words - but someone did not know who spread his ability to predict the future. A mysterious organization sent an invitation letter to him and his sister, and asked them to go up the mountain... Bah, bah, bah, invite them to join... Bah, bah, bah, and hire the brothers and sisters of Zhai Wang to serve as "prophet".
Not to mention that there is a fixed income for working for them, because "prophet" is an intellectual hero, it is not their turn to charge forward and do the hard work, so the work is also easy. They can cope with it for several months with a sentence "the instructions of fate are not clear yet, the time is not right" (and then enjoy paid vacation), so the limited ability will not be seen by others for the time being.
However, it is okay to fool for a while, but if you fool for a long time... not only will it be exposed sooner or later, but I am afraid that your life will be in danger.
The closer he got to the background and inside stories of that mysterious organization, the more frightened Sai Ou became, so he actually didn't intend to live this kind of life.
[So fate is something like this...]
Zai Wang looked at the tarot cards in his hand. The meaning of the pictures and words on them was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred. He thought tiredly: [I don't want to do this either. It's actually good to live a normal life with Mishouchi. But will you let me see clearly? Give me a definite answer!]
Zai Wang walked out of the cabin tiredly, but at this time the wind and waves suddenly became stronger, and a wave hit Sai Wang and soaked him...
[I really didn't expect this...] Sai Wang, who suddenly had seaweed wrapped around his head, was even more tired.

After school started, Ojiaou's first class was the modern alchemy course unique to the Duel Academy.
This professional course, which is only offered in the Duel Academy, is the feature of the Duel Academy and must be tasted.
Well... to be precise, even if you don't go to Duel Academy, you still have the opportunity to get in touch with modern alchemy, but those are all opened in a small number of top-notch universities specially designated by the "Luciano Jury", and it is as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary people to get in touch with them.
This is also one of the important reasons why the Duel Academy is always full of applications every year.
However, most of the freshmen who come here for modern alchemy will be cheated - this thing is very, very difficult, as for how difficult it is... you can see it from the fact that only a very few people in the front row in this crowded classroom are not freshmen.
Not to mention the famous "curse" of Pacific Rim Duel Academy, the professors of modern alchemy are replaced every year - I don't know how Principal Samejima fooled so many "one-time professors" - but this is usually because something happened that caused them to leave and could not continue to teach. Last year, someone died, which was the first time...
When Professor Lan Shen entered the classroom with his suitcase, the previously noisy classroom instantly became quiet.
