"So it's you, Mr. Muto!" Hayato Maeda was a little excited, but also a little embarrassed, "But I, I..."
In the duel monster world today, the strongest duelist standing at the pinnacle is undoubtedly Kobayashi Hayato. He is also the idol in the hearts of countless duelists. Just like Rei Saotome until yesterday, many people worship him.
However, in the field of card design, although the most famous one is after all the "Father of Duel Monsters" Bekas, the best card designer today is Muto Yugi who is also a legendary duelist. After all, he has lost his reputation since Duel Kingdom.
Although Becas of Millennium Eyes is still producing works, his efficiency is much lower than in the past. It is natural that the old man who fishes all day long will be surpassed by talented and passionate newcomers like Muto Yugi.
——Of course, another reason is that Becas can no longer treat it as a new card by changing the angle and action like he did when making early cards, such as [Double-mouthed Lord of Darkness] and [
Two-Headed Thunder Dragon], [Lion Wizard] and [Sleeping Lion] and the like.
The goal of Judai, Banjoume and others is to become the next duel king. Although they also admire the principal, in Maeda Hayato's heart, he actually admires Muto Yugi as a card designer more.
However, can I really be worthy of the respect of Mr. Muto Yugi, who can't even complete my studies at Duel Academy, and can't even be a good duelist? And I also promised my father that I would give up everything about dueling monsters.
...
"Qualified parents will never belittle their children. Even so, what I want to say is the fact that happened to my boy." Looking down at Maeda Hayato who lowered his head, Maeda Kumazo sighed and said sincerely, "
As teachers at his school, you should know the level of his abilities better than he himself does, right?"
"The duel level is basically just being able to summon monsters, but I don't even know how to activate the monsters' effects correctly, and my theoretical score is barely even passing. Although this guy is good at drawing, how can he do it well under such a premise?
Does a qualified card designer use the so-called 'love'?"
"He doesn't even know how to use standard International Illusion Society language to describe the effect of the card!"
As the father of Maeda Hayato, Maeda Kumazo is actually not a bad parent who ignores his children's wishes and forcefully makes arrangements for them. He who practices kendo and integrates it into duels is not as rough as he looks.
Idiot. On the contrary, he cared a lot about his son and gave Maeda Hayato full freedom to choose his own path in his past life.
Because he knows that no matter how well-intentioned his parents are and they want to use their past life experience to help their children avoid detours and avoid being hurt, the generation gap will eventually prevent their children from fully listening to their opinions.
Some things are just like this. No matter how much others remind you, it's useless. Only when you try it yourself and fail can you appreciate the good intentions in other people's warnings.
Maeda Hayato's ability to enter the Duel Academy was actually the limit of his talent. Maeda Kumazo, who had long known that his son's talents were far inferior to others, never stopped his son from trying the Duel Academy because of this.
At the end of last year's semester, after I had to repeat a grade due to poor grades, I gave my child a choice, letting him choose whether to give up everything in Duel Monsters or continue to struggle in the darkness with no future.
At that time, Maeda Hayato had already burst the bubble of fantasy by everything in Duel Academy. He promised Maeda Kumazo that he would no longer fantasize, and just gave up everything about Duel Monsters. This semester was the first time Maeda Hayato repeated a grade, and it was also the last time.
He repeated the grade because according to the agreement between father and son, Maeda Hayato would drop out of school after this semester.
Originally, Maeda Hayato had accepted everything, and wanted to completely put down everything about dueling monsters after passing the last semester in the academy, and face the reality that he had no talent. However, the encounter with Judai made Maeda Hayato live a different life.
It was a completely different life.
That passionate duel, that interesting world of card spirits, that tense dark game, everything good or bad was an unprecedented experience for Maeda Hayato, and his dream heart that had been dormant due to his lack of talent in the past was reawakened.
, he greedily wondered if he could see more Duel Monsters if he could move forward a little further.
But the bubble of fantasy will eventually burst one day. The arrival of Maeda Kumazo will dig out the reality that Maeda Hayato has deliberately forgotten and put it on the bright side. On one side is the cold reality, and on the other side are dueling monsters struggling to survive.
Maeda Hayato's heart was tangled in his love for his love, and he could not give an answer to anyone, including himself.
"Although the job of a duel monster card designer does have many requirements, even the card design department of the International Illusion Society is short of manpower all year round." Looking at Maeda Kumazo, Yugi said gently, "But that's right.
, what is lacking can really be made up with ‘love’, Mr. Xiong Zang.”
"This information is all the information about Maeda Hayato that has been compiled internally by the college so far. Although in the first year of enrollment, Maeda's grades have been fluctuating or even gradually declining, but starting from this year, his grades
The change curve is rising steadily, indicating that he is learning to improve himself."
Picking up a few pieces of paper in front of him, Yugi added, "Although the card designer needs to understand the rules of dueling monsters and even the overall trend of the duelist world, what is more important than that is the love for cards and the '
Mind', the former can make a person a qualified card designer, but only with the latter can one become an excellent card designer!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the previous game, he had actually communicated with Maeda Kumazo who was invited to the academy, but at that time he only had contact with Maeda Hayato from Kobayashi Hayato.
The one-sided understanding was irrefutable with just a few words from Maeda Kumazo - after all, although Yugi's personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, his personality towards people is always gentle unless he encounters any principled conflicts.
, even if he is several years older, it does not mean that his personality will change.
However, if it were Atum, he might be able to convince Maeda Kumazo by talking nonsense?
In short, after being at a disadvantage in the first exchange, while waiting for the arrival of Maeda Hayato, Yugi followed Marufuji Ryo to the data room, and with the authorization of Kobayashi Hayato, printed out all the information about Maeda Hayato in the database and brought it to the principal's office.
Here, and in the game on the road, I also carefully read the information of Maeda Hayato.
Although his performance after entering school was very unsatisfactory, after repeating a grade last year, Maeda Hayato has performed completely differently this school year. Not only was he able to successfully pass the targeted test given by Professor Kuronos, but his mind was also muddier than last year.
He became much more awake and became able to remember and apply the knowledge he had learned in the past in real time in actual combat. He even became more energetic and no longer lowered his head without confidence as before.
By the way, after learning about Maeda Hayato's paintings and understanding of his art skills, Yugi was completely sure that he was the talent he wanted. After getting to know Maeda Hayato a little better, he also wanted to persuade Maeda Kumazo to let Maeda Hayato join the international community.
The Illusion Club.
But it is a pity that although Maeda Kumazo is also a duelist, there is a difference between duelists and duelists. He shook his head and still denied the words of the game: "Love can bring people special motivation. I also agree.
It’s clear, but what I know even more is that people’s hearts will change. No matter how fervent your heart is, it can’t support people to move forward forever in the repetition day after day.”
"One month, one year, three years or even five years, he may be able to maintain his love for such a long time, but how long can he maintain his love for Duel Monsters? When his passion becomes work, passion is
It will fade faster than anything else. As someone who has been through it, I know this reality better than anyone else!"
"And when his enthusiasm faded and he was too old to regret it, could he still continue to be a card designer? Or, without the talent to keep up with the times, he used his 'love' to design
How long can the cards you sell exist without being rejected?"
If the game stands in support of Maeda Hayato's pursuit of his ideals, Maeda Kumazo does not deny Maeda Hayato's ideals because of this, but once again raises realistic questions for the game to answer.
Just like programmers need to "recharge" frequently to learn emerging technologies so that their knowledge will not gradually fall behind as the times advance, card designers also need to learn. Only after thoroughly understanding the current situation of duel monsters, designers can
Only the cards designed can fit the environment of Duel Monsters.
The environment cannot be accelerated to the point where others can make six big brothers with health in one round, or pile up a deck in one round, or seal all the grids on your field, and then you can design something that cannot be special.
The summon is still a level 5☆ humor enhancement card, right?

Ryo Marufuji looked at Muto Yugi and Maeda Kumazo. What everyone said was very reasonable, and they all understood that the other's idea was correct, but they were still arguing and could not come up with the only answer. Rather, their argument was
Instead, it exists so that Maeda Hayato can come up with his own answer.
So, let me take a look at how you have grown, Hayato Maeda, after being in contact with Yujo Judai for a year.
Although he had made some determination earlier today by watching Sho Marufuji's duel, it was not yet time for Sho Marufuji to put his thoughts into practice. He wanted to spend more than a month before graduation.
Here, take a look at everything in the school.
"In the final analysis, who can say for sure what the future of Duel Monsters will be like? Even if Duel Monsters is so popular now, wasn't it the same situation in the bubble economy a few years ago?"
Hearing Maeda Kumazo's words, Yugi knew that he was referring to the East Country Real Estate Industry under the Plaza Accord at the end of the last century, and immediately denied: "Duel Monsters are completely different from those days, and the two are not essentially the same thing.
I see, is this the reason? So, Mr. Xiongzang, although you became a professional duelist for the benefit of dueling monsters, you are still running your family's dojo and industry?"
"Unlike you people who don't have to worry about income, ordinary people like us can't just be duelists, or even do our best just to survive." Xiong Zang said, no longer saying anything to the game, and
He turned to look at Maeda Hayato, "In the final analysis, this kid is still the one who can make the decision. No matter how much we talk, it's useless."
"So your final choice is to give up everything about Duel Monsters as promised and go home to help, or to continue pursuing your dreams in the world of Duel Monsters?"
"I..." Facing the question given by his father, Maeda Hayato hesitated again and could not say anything. He closed his eyes and fought in his mind.
Although Mr. Game's attention really made me ecstatic, and I dreamed of accepting the invitation to become a card designer of the International Illusion Society, but my father's words kept reminding me.
Can I become a good card designer? Can I design cards that people like? Can I keep going with my passion?
Keep moving forward, there is only an unknown and darkness, and there is no answer to any of my three questions. Instead of moving forward with such difficulty, it would be easier to give up the duel monsters and go home to help as promised.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although thinking this, Hayato Maeda clasped his hands and recalled the experience of the past year. He enjoyed the time living with Judai and Xiang,
He also felt passionate about the duels he witnessed. Although he did not have the talent to stand on the duel field, his heart was filled with excitement just by looking at the dueling monsters.
After every duel, Judai smiled cheerfully and showed his thumbs up in his mind. Hayato Maeda took a deep breath and said: "...I have never felt like helping out in a restaurant at home.
Have fun."
"Huh? What did you say?" Maeda Kumazo raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Maeda Hayato who had his head lowered and asked.
Raising his head and looking at his father, Maeda Hayato said seriously: "I don't want to give up Duel Monsters. Even if I violate the agreement with you, Dad, I still want to continue to see Duel Monsters!"
"I want to see that I can design the feelings in my heart into cards, I want to see the cards I designed by myself being made, and I want to see other people like the cards I made!" Maeda Hayato looked directly at his father, "I
I want to be a card designer!”
Looking at Maeda who showed such a resolute expression in front of him for the first time, Xiong Zang couldn't help but want to smile, but his face showed a more serious expression than before: "Even if you violate the agreement? You know
Does that mean anything?"
"I don't know, but I just know that I can't let go of Duel Monsters as promised. Even if my head is broken and my head is broken, I have to try. For this reason, I am willing to do anything!"
"You are willing to do anything? You are just a student. What kind of consciousness did you say that?" The person who spoke was not Yugi or Maeda Kumazo, but sat in his seat and looked at the information.
Hayato made a painting of the sunrise at Ayers Rock. He put the painting down casually, stood up and said, "Although he invited me because it was a game, he didn't need any letters of recommendation for joining the job, but the basic assessment still needs to be done.
some."
"The deadline is one day, go and create a card, and then use the deck containing the created card to defeat any one of the people I designate, whether you ask for help from others or you go on your own, it's fine if you do it
