"The principal is me, Hayato Kobayashi! This has never changed from beginning to end!"
Hayato looked at the arrogant expression on Wan Zhangmu's face on the screen and said, "That's probably what he thinks, right? I can almost guess what he's thinking just by looking at his expression."
"Manzhangmu... the youngest of the three brothers of the Manzhangmu Consortium." Next to Hayato, Kaiba sat up straight, watching the video of the duel combat assessment scene played from Hayato's mobile phone, "I remember the new
The mayor of Tongshiye City who took office..."
"That's right, it's Manzhangme Shoji who was in the same class as us. He got an offer from the International Illusion Society right after Yugi graduated. He's not bad either. He came back to Tongshino City to work directly because of his connections. All I can say is that Manzhangme
The consortium still has something to offer."
Taking a bamboo skewer, he picked up a small octopus ball and put it into his mouth. Hayato joked, "This is also thanks to the Kaiba Group. Because of the long-term cooperation with the Kaiba Group, we even have a relationship with the International Illusion Society.
The project consortium has always been prospering."
"Are you praising the Manzhangmu Foundation or cursing them? I always feel that the word 'prosperous' is not a good word." Compared with Hayato ordering a lot of small but varied meals in front of him, Kaiba's
There was only a simple glass of water in front of him, but even this glass of water Haima didn't drink it, "You, on the other hand, specifically called me out of the laboratory just to let me watch such boring things?"<
/p>
"And it's actually in this kind of tavern, sitting on the bar and eating."
Hayato spread his hands: "Oh, let's just forget it. It's a small place like this that's quiet. We'd be recognized a long time ago when we go to public places. Can we still have a good chat? Besides, I'm not showing you the entrance test.
What a great performance by the freshmen over there."
"Hmph, I'm not interested in those immature duelists at all."
"You'd better be." Picking up a piece of kabayaki eel, Hayato glanced at Kaiba, "I know it will be a long time before Judai reaches the stage where I can defeat you, but I don't know who can't wait to start with the big one.
After I bullied my opponent, I suddenly wanted to build a hot spring for the school."
"The island attached to the Duel Academy has a large area that is empty and is only used as a warehouse. The dock and airport are too wasteful. Building a leisure place with many functions will also help guests who travel long distances to the island to be more comfortable.
Have a good rest." Kaiba explained seriously.
"Then what's going on with the alien space that was created by someone under the hot spring?"
Kaiba's reply to Hayato was: "Humph!"
Duel Academy Island was once the base of the alchemist Diavolo. On this island, he conducted various experiments for his chosen research topic "Human Refining", including but not limited to biological transformation, vitality transformation, etc.
Research, and even once single-handedly created artificial elves like the monster movie "Unknown Realm", as well as a large alchemy array "Seven Spirits Unlocking the Door". The former had long been destroyed by Hayato to bind the soul card, making them
was freed, and the latter was suppressed and buried underground on Duel Academy Island.
But the disappearance of the experimental products does not mean that the influence of Diavolo's experiment has been completely erased. Because of the influence of his artificial elf experiments and vitality gathering experiments, Duel Academy Island has become very easy to attract tiny alien spaces.
That is, a small different world similar to the "Avalon" that Hayato encountered in Victoria. This may be the so-called "gravity".
The "gravity" of Duel Academy Island is attracting those special small worlds to come closer, and eventually the entrances and exits of those different spaces appear on Duel Academy Island.
As far as Hayato knows, there are three known entrances to different spaces on the current Duel Academy Island, including a new entrance under the pool of the hot spring pavilion that the Kaiba Group hastily built before the start of the school year.
No matter how you think about it, the emergence of this new different space is inseparable from Kaiba.
"I have no interest in supernatural beings such as 'elves'. I can't understand the nonsense you are talking about." Kaiba retorted with a serious expression, "And what Kaiba people do, I don't understand what Kaiba people do.
What does it matter to people?"
"...My sister said that I saw a person in that different space wearing a [Blue Eyes White Dragon] helmet, and his voice was like something that lives in his belt and takes away other people's lifespan and turns them into an 80-year-old man.
The guy who looks like a demon and wears a white windbreaker calls himself 'Kaiba Man'." Hayato teased Kaiba who suddenly self-destructed, but received another cold snort from him.
"Humph!"
"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, you are not the only different space on the island. It's better to say that even if you don't create one on the island, that location may attract some other worlds in the future. That island is too big.
It's suitable for opening the door to another world." Thinking about what would happen in the future in the original timeline, Hayato picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "But I'm a little curious, how did you do it?"<
/p>
"Remember the 'Dragon Wheel' that I didn't finish completely before?" Hearing Hayato talk about this, Kaiba became interested and proudly showed off to Hayato.
"Isn't it 'D round'?"
"Hmph, I don't remember that ugly name. Can inventions and creations be called learning?" After hearing Hayato's words, Kaiba pretended to have lost his memory and changed the subject, "I have confirmed the basic functions of the 'Dragon Wheel'.
All can be used normally, and as long as there is sufficient and stable energy supply, it can even be accelerated to exceed the speed of light to break through the limitations of time and space and ascend to dimensions."
"However, it is the lack of stable and sufficient energy supply that has prevented the completion of the 'Dragon Wheel'. The stable enough energy supply is not enough to fully drive the device, but the high-energy energy produced by the Haima Group's technology cannot be completed.
It was not stable enough, so in the end I had to put the device on hold."
"This is normal. The earliest human technology was born from the ignited flames. Energetics is the main driving force for the development of science and technology." Hayato nodded. He was able to understand Kaiba's words to some extent, unlike Malik or Jonouchi who just listened.
Can answer "Mother gave birth to it", "And the 'D Wheel'... well, the energy supply of the original 'Dragon Wheel' relies on active planetary particles that can carry people's emotional energy.
The interaction of the perpetual motion machine that transforms this energy can really only be used as a decoration now that the wandering particles have not become active."
It was as if a time traveler brought a computer back to the steam era of the first industrial revolution. No matter how good the performance of that computer was, Tesla had not even invented alternating current—or discovered?—
—In this era, if you can’t even turn on your computer, then it’s meaningless.
But nothing is absolute. If what Hayato heard from Datsu was not bragging, Datsu had made a large server before the steam engine appeared at the exhibition and even backed up one of his own. But this is an exception.
, not counting, just like when Fudo Yusei returned to the past from the future with the help of the power of the red dragon, he also brought a considerable number of active Yusei particles with him.
"Suddenly speaking of this, have you found an active star particle that can drive the 'D...Dragon Wheel'?" Hayato looked at Kaiba curiously. If the star particles gradually become active,
Does this also mean that Synchro Summons will be born soon?
But unfortunately, Kaiba shook his head: "There is no such thing, and even if there is, it should be called 'Hippocampus particles'."
"After grabbing the 'D round' and grabbing the 'Wandering Star Particle', are you Edison, Seth?"
"In terms of being a peerless genius and having numerous inventions, I think I am, but I am not a businessman who is only interested in profit and reputation."
After a pause, Kaiba pointed to the on-site monitoring of the Duel Academy Entrance Test actual combat assessment played in the Kaiba Dome played on Hayato's mobile phone, and then said, "The guy named Diva who had dueled with you there before.
, that is, the 'Blue God', and his gang of companions who call themselves 'Prana'. In order to make up for the economic losses caused to the Kaiba Group and Doushino City, each of them has to work for me."
"Relying on the research on their bodies, I finally found a special way, combined with the device mounted on the 'Dragon Wheel', that can effectively reduce the energy required to open up different spaces, so on the island affiliated with Duel Academy
During the construction of the hot spring pavilion, I chose that place as an experimental site. Although the success rate is not high and difficult to replicate, I did succeed, and that space is a successful case."
"As long as we continue to study, soon..."
Kaiba did not continue, but frowned and looked at Hayato: "What is that look in your eyes? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"If you mess with the same kind, you will be sentenced to death in Jupiter~" Hayato sighed, "It's my fault that I didn't take a good look at you Seth, so that you ended up embarking on this illegal and criminal path. Elbow, follow
I'm going to surrender and pray that the government will give you leniency for daring to conduct human experiments..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You don't think I studied the dissections of those people, right? Huh, how much do you underestimate the technological level of the Kaiba Group? Those people don't even need to draw blood here.
No, from beginning to end I just conducted basic examinations on them, and even helped several of them cure their early-stage cancer." Haima said proudly, "Haima Group's science and technology is number one in the world!
”
"It's hard for you to come up with such results. As expected of you, Seth, you are the light of materialism who has gone all the way to the end in this world where gods and demons come to the world, artifacts show their power, and super powers dance wildly." Hearing this.
After Kaiba did not conduct any research, and did not even draw blood, Hayato twitched the corner of his mouth and complained.
Since the "Dark Side of Dimension" incident, all of Prana's special abilities have disappeared with the silence of the [Quantum Cube], leaving only their most basic emotional sensing, super intuition and the like.
Things, and can no longer move in space as before, that is, they have transformed from superpowers back to slightly more human beings, which are the true "new human beings".
Hayato's forehead will have a special mark of Prana due to the use of [Quantum Cube]. Just because he thinks the pattern is pretty good-looking, he uses the power of [Quantum Cube] to retain it without removing it.
Even for Hayato, it is a bit troublesome to use the [Quantum Cube] to open the door to another dimension. If it is the underworld, it is easier to say. You can reduce the difficulty through the Gate of the Underworld of Ramesses II in Egypt for Artu
Mu occasionally returns to the present world for reunions, but Kaiba managed to open up a different space with just technology without even having a [Quantum Cube].
This is very Kaiba Group, and it reminds Hayato of the future in the original timeline. After the Duel Academy is transferred to another world, it can even use technology to communicate with the other world and reality, and even transfer specific items.
Technology in other worlds often fails due to "mysterious" reasons when faced with magic and other supernatural forces, but Kaiba is different. He can really use technology to do things that even magic can't do.<
/p>
And Kaiba actually had something to hide and didn't tell Hayato. The different space under the hot spring pavilion was actually an experiment of his, but that experiment was not Kaiba's own purpose. It was just to verify one of his conjectures, and the results of the experiment
The success also confirmed that his conjecture was correct.
With the help of Prana, no, with the help of the further power of [Quantum Cube], and then providing sufficient speed for the "Dragon Wheel", when the two powers are combined, it may be possible to do something that cannot be done by the [Quantum Cube] today.
If you do something, you will open the door to the underworld. In that case, you can play cards with Atum who is hiding anytime and anywhere!
"Speaking of medical treatment, do you know about Kagemaru?" Because hearing Kaiba mention that he could even cure cancer, Hayato couldn't help but think of an old man who had a hand in the establishment of Duel Academy. Kagemaru was the one who prescribed medicine.
From the company, "I remember that he was lying in their company's life-support capsule three or four years ago. Why hasn't he died yet?"
"Do you have any grudge against him?" Glancing at Hayato, Kaiba picked up the water in the cup and took a sip. He didn't notice that Hayato's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said to himself, "Although he's not dead, he will soon.
In the final analysis, although the medical technology of Kagemaru Pharmaceutical Group is good, it is limited to the low-end and mid-range parts. It can be cheap and good, but when it comes to high-end technology, it is no match for Haima Group."
"There is no need for me to take action. Before I took over the Kaiba Group, Gosaburo Kaiba's investment in the medical field alone was stronger than the technology of the Kagemaru Pharmaceutical Group."
Hayato nodded: "It's true, that guy Kaiba Naia caused us a lot of trouble, especially when he dared to interrupt my Tenhu Kaishou, which is simply unforgivable!"
To this day, Hayato still remembers that when his Tengo was about to OTK Yugi, Kaiba and the others in the city in Duel City, Naia actually invaded Kaiba's duel airship and forced a power outage, interrupting him.
operation.
But that kind of Kaiba Naia was an existence that had died long before Kaiba Seto was adopted by Kaiba Gozaburo and was transferred to the virtual world by Kaiba Gozaburo. Even before the transfer, Kaiba Gozaburo used a life-saving capsule to forcibly maintain him.
The life of Kaiba Naia who should have expired.
In comparison, Kagemaru's skills are really not good enough. Kaiba Noa, a person who declared that resuscitation was ineffective, is completely dead, and Kaiba Gozaburo can forcefully maintain his vital signs and not completely die. Kaiba Gozaburo is already dead.
So many years later, the technology of the Kagemaru Group cannot even keep Kagemaru from dying.
However, when he heard that Kagemaru was about to die, Hayato knew that he probably couldn't wait any longer, but had to start his actions in order to survive, so he could start to prepare.
After draining the last sip of Coke in the glass and putting the last octopus ball into his mouth, Hayato took out his wallet and said to Kaiba with a smile: "So, are we AA?"
Looking at the pile of empty plates in front of Hayato, and then at the plain water in front of him that he took a sip of, Kaiba had a curse word to say.
