"Time flies so fast, it's already been four years before you know it, right?"
On the streets of Tongshiye City, a man wearing sunglasses and a bullet haircut sat in the driver's seat of a jeep and said to the person in the passenger seat, "This is the first time since we graduated four years ago that everyone is reunited."
Let’s go together?”
"There is no way. After all, Yugi usually goes to college, and Hayato works at the Duel Academy. When the two of them have the most free time, it is the summer competition of the World Professional Duelist Competition every year, which is also the busiest time of the year on Broadway.
time."
In the passenger seat, Jonouchi put his elbows against the window and supported his chin with his palms. His golden hair swayed with the wind that poured into the car from the open roof above his head. "Honda, you are the most comfortable.
My family’s business is so stable that I don’t even need much management. I can drive around Tongshiye Market every day.”
"Don't just see that I have nothing to do in the past two years. In the first two years, I was so busy trying to learn the basics of business." Honda, who still has bad era hair, said, "And I drove a car in
Tong Shi's drive in the wild market can be regarded as advertising for his family's factory."
"Tell Tongshiye citizens that Honda cars are driven by bad guys?"
"Fuck you!"
The jeep drove through an intersection. Although the light was red, left turns were not restricted. Honda took Jonouchi to a park and introduced: "This is a forest park newly planned by the Haima Group. Among several
It hadn't been completed when you came back for the New Year a few months ago, but now it's April and it seems to have been completed and will be opened soon. He is here to shoot promotional posters."
Although in the early days, Tapirang was selected by Haima because of his appearance and became the publicity ambassador for the first GeneX competition, and later signed a contract to join Haima Group, but over the years, he often stood in front of the camera.
Tapirang, who works in publicity, may have something in common with the need to find the right angle and timing. He unexpectedly discovered his talent in photography. In addition to continuing to work as a photographer in the publicity department of Haima Group, he occasionally
I also work part-time as a photographer to take promotional photos.
——By the way, contrary to many people's expectations, the valedictorian of the first class of Duel Academy graduates, Minazuki Matsutake, did not become a professional duelist. Instead, she used Hayato's path to become a duelist.
He was introduced to the publicity department of the Kaiba Group, and became a professional duel commentator and referee with his top-level understanding of duels and the knowledge he learned. Occasionally, he would also entertain the audience, and the referee would personally play cards.
"That guy Kaiba is really a cannibalistic capitalist. He actually wants to exploit a kind-hearted person like Tapirang, and let him work two jobs for one price." Jounouchi complained, "That's the way he is.
Guys, they deserve to be beaten by Hayato and Yugi. What do you call them in that word? 'Intentional Solitary Life'."
"That's not true. Haima is quite generous. It's better to say that he is a little too lavish when it comes to money. Whether it's paying wages to employees or doing business with him, giving money is very enjoyable. Although Tapirang occasionally works part-time, but
Kaiba simply gave him two wages. In total, Tapiryo still made the profit, but Kaiba and his younger brother Keihei often felt distressed about money."
Honda paused, looked at Jonouchi with a smile and said, "The other thing is, Jonouchi, you shouldn't have forgotten that Kaiba, in order to reduce the crime rate in Doushino City, specially created something called the 'air loop'.
As a matter of fact, Tong Shiye City is monitored by the Haima Group everywhere. If you say bad things about him like this, be careful not to be tricked by Haima."
"Although I am indeed affiliated with the Kaiba Group, how else can Kaiba put on my shoes?" Jonouchi didn't take Honda's words to heart at all, "Besides, Doushino City is so big and there are so many people, Kaiba can't
Is it possible to accurately monitor what everyone says at any time and at any time?"
The next moment, as if to slap Jonouchi in the face and confirm Honda's words, an advertisement suddenly started playing on the huge screen on the outer wall of a commercial building not far from the park——
"The impressive new professional duelist star Ed Phoenix has refreshed his winning streak. After successfully defeating the famous duelist 'Super', who will be the next duelist he will face? '
The legendary fisherman 'Kajiki Yuta, or the 'ultimate dinosaur' Ryuzaki?"
"To celebrate the fifth anniversary of Duel City held at the turn of the millennium, Ed Phoenix will challenge the top four contestants of Duel City in the next duel. Mr. Katsuya Jonouchi is defeated by the legendary strongest White Dragon user Seto Kaiba. What is the fate of Mr. Seto Kaiba?
Can Jonike defend his honor, or will Ed Phoenix set a new winning streak?"
"Please look forward to next week's professional duelist peak competition, "Death in the Castle", Duel Standing by!"
The scenes displayed in the advertisement are all the wonderful scenes of the past duels of the young duelist named "Ed Phoenix", as well as the images of the professional duelists whose names were read, and finally added the recent duels in the city.
From the picture, you can tell at a glance that this is a makeshift promotional advertisement. What's even more egregious is that although the narration does not appear from beginning to end, Jonouchi and Honda can recognize the voice of Seto Kaiba just by listening to the voice. Especially at the end, the guy even subconsciously wanted to say the word "mediocre", completely revealing his identity!
"Onole Kaiba!"
"Okay, okay, it's not the first time anyway." Honda calmed Jonouchi casually and said, "It's our way anyway. Let's wait for him here and go to Turtle Record together..." p>
Just as he was talking, Honda's wrist vibrated, and he found a text message displayed on his watch, which was a text message from Oga Ryuuji. After looking at the content of the text message, Honda, who had just stopped the car, started the car again.
Said: "Okay, we don't have to wait any longer. It seems that Yujia has already picked up Tapirang and is almost at the Turtle Game House. We can go there directly."

As the Haima Group becomes more and more involved in the urban construction of Tongshino City, the city's level of informatization has already surpassed more than 90% of the world's capitals. The best example of this is the car worn by Honda.
Watch. This smart watch distributed free of charge to citizens by Haima Group can not only be connected to the smart terminals used by citizens personally, and process information in a centralized and portable manner, but also prove the identity of "Tongshino City Citizen".
You know, today's Doushino City is not an exaggeration to say that it is an independent kingdom. The "King" Seto Kaiba even announced that outsiders who are not qualified duelists will not even be able to obtain this identity certificate, which is equivalent to a residence permit.
That is to say, the aborigines who were originally in Tongshiye City can obtain identity certificates even if they are not duelists.
Combined with what Honda calls the "air loop" of the city's surveillance equipment, Tongshino City has achieved a terrible record of 0% crime rate for three consecutive years, and as long as the Kaiba Group still exists, this record will probably continue to be refreshed. Not long after, Jonouchi and Honda came to a place they were so familiar with, and it was also the place where they used to gather after school - the Kameki Card House opened by Muto Sugoroku, which was also the home of the game.<
/p>
As soon as they arrived here, the two saw a banner hanging at the door of the Turtle Card House——
"Warmly celebrate the release of "Duel! Doshino City Sightseeing Route-Footprints of the Legendary Duelists!"..."
"When you purchase a Duel Monsters card pack in our store, you will receive a signed photo of the author if you spend 10,000 yen, and you will receive a signed photo of the legendary duelist Muto Yugi if you spend 100,000 yen..."
Jonouchi, who got off the car, read the words on the banner and complained in unison: "If you can give out signed photos of the game at will, could it be that the author of the book with a title as long as a light novel is Master Sugoroku?"
”
Honda, who had parked his Jeep nearby, heard what Jonouchi said and said, "You're really right, Jonouchi, Grandpa Sugoroku is the author of that "Sightseeing Route". And he was obviously free during his visit to the store.
I wrote it without any trouble, but unexpectedly it sold very well. Even the publicity department of Tongshiye City Government purchased it to promote Tongshiye City. It even seems that Haima Group is planning to buy some."
"...So why do you want to put the Kaiba Group behind the government?" Looking at Honda, Jonouchi spread his hands, "But after all, Master Shuangliu has traveled around the world before and lived in Doshino City for such a long time.
The travel guide he wrote is absolutely no different."
A voice picked up Jonouchi's words: "What's more, Mr. Shuangliu can directly ask us related parties about the specific time and place of what happened, the Duel City that was held before, and the Duel Monsters now.
The popularity has also brought the sales of Mr. Shuangliu’s books to a new height.”
Together with Honda, they turned to look in the direction of the sound. Seeing the face of the speaker, Jonouchi happily raised his hand and said hello: "Hey, Hayato!"
"Jouchi, Honda, you're here too." Hayato also waved and said hello, "That Malik guy said he was going to pick me up, but his motorcycle ran out of gas halfway. I went to transfer to the subway and encountered a train delay. I thought
I'll be the last one to arrive."
"It doesn't matter even if you are the last to arrive. It doesn't matter if I wait for you for a while. Besides, everyone knows that Duel Academy is very busy."
Hearing Jonouchi's words, Hayato couldn't help but think back to how hard he had worked and how much energy he had spent in teaching the students in Duel Academy over the years... It seems not?
Although there are many things going on in Duel Academy, the dormitory teachers in each dormitory are not just freeloaders. They are all capable of solving most of the affairs in the academy. As the vice-principal, Samejima is also responsible for cooperating with other colleges or organizations.
When there are people handling the liaison work and internal and external affairs, Hayato's responsibility as the principal only exists as a symbol.
In other words, a mascot? But this "mascot" is the type that will shout "Henshin" and beat up the troublemaker when something big happens.
Although Hayato also has the status of a teacher in addition to being the principal, the course he created - "Elf Coexistence Class" is only kept because he is the principal. Since the establishment of Duel Academy, it was the class of Minazuki and the others.
Some people signed up, but after learning that Hayato had a habit of assigning homework, and that most people would learn nothing even if they studied for three years, no one came to class anymore.
So much so that, as the principal, Hayato's usual job is basically to carry a fishing rod to the lake to fish, and then get lost in various classrooms of Duel Academy.
"It is indeed a very busy job." Hayato nodded and affirmed, "Especially since there is an entrance exam taking place in Doshino City today."
"Hey? In that case, Hayato, don't you have to go over there to see how the new students are doing?"
"No need at all, because the teacher in charge of the entrance examination in Tongshino City is my right-hand man, and his ability is quite trustworthy."
The three of them walked into the Turtle Card House together, pushed open the store door, and saw several people sitting in front of the counter with their backs to the door. The people standing inside the counter had not changed much, and were still as energetic as a few years ago.
Muto Sugoroku.
Because the store door opened, a quiet tone sounded. Muto Shuangroku said subconsciously: "Sorry, the store is not open to the public today... Huh? Isn't this Jonouchi, there are Hayato and Honda."
"I'm back, Master Shuangliu!" "Sorry to bother you, Master Shuangliu." "You're still so energetic, Grandpa Shuangliu."
Because Hayato and the three of them greeted Muto Sugoroku, several people sitting in front of the counter also turned around. Although they rarely meet in real life in the past few years, they often have video calls through the Internet.
People still recognize each other.

Wearing a cool jacket and still wearing dice as earrings, Yuga Ryuji now operates an offline experience store for developed electronic games in addition to the traditional game house;
Although he is already twenty-two years old, he still has a youthful and immature look on his face, and his face is still the same as it was a few years ago. Even if he is bare-faced without makeup, he still has an enviable look.
Her blemishes are fair and tender, and her cheeks can't help but blush when seeing familiar friends appear. She doesn't look like she is a popular star now;
And Kyoko is still exactly the same as she was in high school.
"I'm talking to myself and just introduce everyone to everyone. Hayato, you should go see an ophthalmologist. What do you mean by being exactly the same as in high school?!"
Kyoko said excitedly, her hands on her hips, exactly the same as the angry posture in high school. It was completely impossible to tell that she had been working alone in the United States for several years, and even won the Tony Award last year - this award is equivalent to the film industry.
Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress, although I regretted not being selected in the end, the nomination was already very impressive.
Hayato glanced at Kyoko, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a subtle smile: "I feel...not as good as Isi."
"It feels...not as good as dancing." Jonouchi also nodded and chimed in.
"You! She! Me!" Kyoko tried to refute the words of her two bad friends. She wanted to say that she had grown very well over the years, but after thinking about Peacock Dance and Miss Isis, she sat down gloomily.
"Huh? Is everyone here already?" Behind Hayato, the store door opened again, and with a familiar voice, a young man walked in, "I'm sorry, everyone, something happened on the way and I'm late. Please let me know.
Long wait."
He has three-color hair, black and red, with golden bangs. He wears a blue-purple formal suit, a white vest, and a red tie on his chest. Compared to his height of 1.53 meters, which was too pitiful in high school,
, the young man who walked into the store at this moment is at least 1.7 meters tall. He is Muto Yugi who just graduated from college this year.
Although Yugi still has a gentle smile on his face today, he has grown in height and has a somewhat muscular body due to maintaining the special exercise habits taught by Jonouchi and Honda.
Several people almost thought that Atum had returned to the world again... Hey, why did you say "again"?
Compared with most students who are unemployed after graduation, Yu You easily obtained an offer from International Illusion Society, the largest game production and distribution company in the world, by virtue of his own talents. All of this came from his personal efforts, and not only his own
The 30% stake in International Illusion Society has nothing to do with it.
"Yugi!" Kyoko shouted his name happily when she saw Yugi reunited after a long absence. At the same time, she looked behind Yugi warily. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there was no girl with blond hair and twin tails following her.
Although she bought the house she lived in in the United States through the introduction of Professor Hopkins, this did not prevent her from being wary of the girl who was seventeen years old this year and was at the age of beauty. After all, love is a war! "Long time no see, Kyoko, the earrings you wore today are very beautiful."
Just one word of "Smiling Game" instantly cleared Kyoko's depression that had arisen not long ago, and she revealed a smile with a slightly red face.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. On the other side of the city, in the landmark Kaiba Dome in Doshino City, the actual part of the entrance test for the Duel Academy Headquarters was going on.
"Students who have reported their admission ticket number, please prepare your deck, enter the backstage one by one, and prepare to go on stage for a duel." Taking the list and reading the names, Professor Kronos said, "No. 120, Hannah...
