Chapter 308 Competition
“Ah, it sounds like I've heard of it before.”
Sho Marufuji held his chin in thought.
"I saw the promotion, saying that this year's Duel City competition will be different from previous years."
"Is it different?" Brother Hayato probed doubtfully.
Hayato is a bit of a picky person. As an Osiris Red repeater who is on the verge of dropping out of school at any time, he basically sleeps in the dormitory all day long, semi-isolated from the outside world.
Although he has cheered up a lot since Judai came, he is still a homebody in general and does not care much about outside information.
"You don't even know this? It's the biggest event that the Haima Group has been sparing no effort to promote recently."
Sho Marufuji quickly took out his equipment and pulled out the promotional poster.
You Xuan also came over and took a look.
Well, there is no surprise at all. There is a big white dragon painted on the poster. President Kaiba stood there with his usual stinky posture. Although the text below was inviting duelists from all walks of life to come and compete, his posture looked more like he was preparing for a fight than an invitation.
"I remember that Duel City was done in previous years, right?" Judai wondered.
"Yes, but everyone knows over the years that, except for the first one held in Tongshino City, the standards of the subsequent ones have actually declined."
Sho Marufuji introduced.
"But in fact, this is inevitable. The annual Duel City competition is actually a very high-level event, and the participants are all duelists with considerable strength, including some top players from the professional circle."
Are they top players from the professional world?
Previously, Yu Xuan said that he didn't feel much at all, but he just played a match with the guy who was said to be the eighth in the profession. Although saying this may be a bit disrespectful to the profession, that guy started to make him feel that his professional level was just like that.
Now when he talks about how there are so many strong people in the professional world, it feels a bit like when people mention that all the Jounin of Konoha are masters. It doesn't seem that he is very weak when it comes to being weak, but when it comes to being strong, there is an illusion that all the strength of the entire professional world is concentrated on Ed.
Ed Phoenix may really be the only card in the GX professional circle. If Kaiser, a rookie who joined the league later, is also counted, then maybe it can be counted as two.
In addition, most of the professional guys who appear throughout the anime are just backgrounds. In the Society of Light chapter, they can't even compete with the elite students of the Duel Academy. It's hard to say how strong they are.
"However, the judging criteria for competition registration in previous years was only the duelist level assessed within the Kaiba Group system." Sho Marufuji explained, "As long as the duelist level meets the requirements, anyone can sign up to participate.
Of course, generally speaking, the level of high-level duelists is not bad, but it is still incomparable to the first session."
Judai nodded: "That's natural."
The video of the first Duel City Tournament is still a priceless collection. It cannot be said that each generation in the duel world is inferior to the last. It is really the first generation of gods fighting.
Muto Yugi is recognized as the most valuable champion in all competitions, and is recognized as the king of duels in the entire dueling world. This title was obtained during Duel City. And the opponents he defeated in that competition are still extraordinary today.
Someone in later generations did a review and found that all the top four in the first generation of Duel City were gods, not to mention the participation of legendary monsters like the Three Illusion Gods.
At that time, Muto Yugi commanded the Sky Dragon of Osiris, Seto Kaiba commanded Obelisk's Titan Soldier, and Malik, the successor to the Tomb Guard, wielded the Winged Divine Dragon of Ra.
And in the legendary gambling city where one person starts, and the outcome depends entirely on dice.
It seems like something strange has been mixed in.
In short, looking back now, many people think that the top four of that year, and even the players such as Isis and Tapirang who were eliminated in the quarter-finals, may all be at the championship level in the following competitions.
It can only be said that the first-generation arena was really full of gods fighting.
"However, there are no duelists now who can compare with so many legends at that time." Judai said strangely.
"Yes. But this time, even Seto Kaiba made it clear that he also wanted to participate!" Sho Marufuji said excitedly, "This is the first time in so many years!
Do you know how many years it has been since Seto Kaiba was seen in an open court? "
"So powerful?" Judai's eyes lit up.
"So, doesn't it mean that as long as you participate in the competition, you will have a chance to face off against President Kaiba?"
"Uh, but I haven't finished yet. The threshold for this year's competition is much higher than before." Marufuji Sho said, "In addition to the duelist rating required by the Kaiba Group as before, this time there is also Kaiba Se A team led by a person personally is responsible for the qualification review.
It is said that even some legendary duelists failed to pass the review."
An image of two brothers in a certain labyrinth immediately appeared in You Xuan's mind.
I wonder if those two can pass the review in the eyes of the president.
"I think as the eldest brother is a student of Duel Academy Osiris Red, the file will probably not reach the review team and he will be eliminated." Sho Marufuji said with shame.
"Eh?" Judai said in confusion, "Damn it. Then why can Yu Xuan go?"
Hayato whispered: "Yu Xuan-san is different. If someone tells me now that he is from the review team, I will believe it."
Judai's eyes lit up: "Really or not? Is it possible for Yu Xuan to give me a spot?"
"I'm overthinking it. I'm on some kind of review team. I was just invited to participate."
You Xuan paused and smiled.
"However, if you just want a spot, it might not be impossible."
Judai whistled excitedly and then gave him an excited bear hug.
"Thank you so much!" Judai was very happy, "I will remember it forever!"
"It's too exaggerated. And I just said to call and ask, I don't know if it's okay yet."
"Ahaha, thank you very much anyway~"
Several people talked all the way, and the shadows cast by the sun were very long on the ground.
On the same day, the principal's office of Duel Academy.
"Do you have any plans for the holiday, Liang?"
Principal Samejima sat back in his chair and asked with a smile Marufuji Ryo, his close disciple and the orthodox heir of his electronic school.
"It's okay for now, Teacher." Ryo Marufuji smiled, "Look for opportunities to duel with masters outside the school, hone your skills and seek breakthroughs."
"Well. If that's the case, then I have a good opportunity here."
Principal Samejima smiled and handed over a promotional poster.
Ryo Marufuji took it and raised his eyebrows.
"Duel City GX?"
