Chapter 19 The Ambition of the Wan Zhangmu Consortium
"Wan Zhangmu, you mean that your brother plans to visit the Duel Academy?"
Judai sat on the chair backwards, leaning his head on the back of the chair, and said strangely, "This is no problem, right? What's the big deal about parents visiting the school?"
Although it is a three-person dormitory, because Hayato Maeda graduated early last school year and went to the International Illusion Club, and it is not yet the official start of the freshman enrollment period, their dormitory is also very empty, so much so that Wanzhangmu is directly connected to the blue dormitory.
I stopped living in the single room and moved directly to the red dormitory.
"The problem is huge!" Wan Zhangmu said with some excitement, "Think about it from my perspective, if your parents come to school and meet your classmates, and tell them something like taking care of you more, think about it.
It’s good to be awkward!”
"Especially since most people report good news but not bad news at home, right? Everything is for the best, but as soon as the parents come to school, everything is revealed." Sho Marufuji sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at Wan Zhangmu.
, also feels the same way, "Thinking about it this way, I don't want parents to come to visit the school. After all, they will definitely have to ask teachers and classmates about their daily status."
"We can't really investigate this, what if we find something?"
"What's "Yes, Duel King"?" Judai complained about the line Xiang just said, which was clearly from the recently popular TV series launched by Kaiba Entertainment Group, in which the character of the same name played by the famous star Ryo Tapiryo.
After hearing the classic line, he looked at Wan Zhangmu again, "But that is limited to people who talk big to their families. For example, they are obviously lonely but they brag that they have ten friends, and they have no special skills but they brag that they are valued by the teacher.
Class leaders and the like.”
"Wan Zhangmu, you haven't bragd about yourself to your brothers at home, have you?"
However, facing Judai's casual words, Wan Zhangmu remained silent and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Um, Banjomu, you're not really bragging at home, are you?" Sho Marufuji didn't expect that Judai actually said the key point in one sentence. Judging from Banjomu's expression, he seemed to be really there.
The family and his brothers boasted about his school affairs in an exaggerated manner.
"Hey, that's long! I just told a few white lies to make my family happy!" Wan Zhangmu was a little red-blooded because of shyness and embarrassment, "I just made a small mistake that everyone makes!
"
"Is this just a small mistake?"
"Because it would be a big mistake if someone found out."
Seeing Judai and Marufuji Sho chatting easily in front of him, Wan Jangmu scratched his hair a little irritably and said unwillingly: "So we must not be discovered. If my brother comes to school and finds me talking at home,
Those words are all bragging, then I will be no different from a social death."
"If you are discovered, your image as a younger brother will be completely destroyed, so let's make a louder noise to cover it up." Judai said with a smile, stood up and patted Banjome on the shoulder, "But before that
, helping you cover sounds like it would be interesting, so I’m here to help you!”
"There's me and me! I'll do whatever big brother does." Sho Marufuji also joined in the fun and said, "It's rare that when Wanzhangmu, who is usually aloof, asks for help, I can come and help."
"Anyway, we are already in the second grade this year, and we don't have much time to do after school starts."
What Sho Marufuji said is true. Unlike last school year, as first-year freshmen, they had been quite busy for quite some time after enrolling, setting up dormitories, getting to know classmates, and joining clubs.
They have been busy for two or three months before they enter the formal state of study. As they are already sophomores this year, it is relatively easy.
Although it is just the back-to-school period and the school has not officially started yet, the school has already distributed most of the course schedules for this semester to the students during the summer vacation. In the three years of Duel Academy, if the first academic year is used to prepare students
Basic, then the second year is for students to start to freely develop their own styles, with a view to making the "planted seeds bloom" in the third year.
In human terms, you learn and memorize vigorously in the first year, and then in the second year you can stuff all kinds of messy cards into the deck and try to play tricks. After a year of trial and error, in the third year
At this point, you have basically formed your own style and can try to improve it.
For this reason, compared to the numerous basic courses in the first academic year, the second academic year has greatly increased the time for interest classes and club activities. Although the theoretical examination is still inevitable, which can make Judai extremely painful, it is very important for second-year students.
Extracurricular activities are very open.
It is also during this school year that most students will find their exact hobbies because they have too much time. It is also for this reason that sophomores are often the main members of various clubs on campus - and by the way, going to the mountains
Oyama Taira, who is practicing asceticism, and Tenjoin Fubuki, who joined the club of Daitokuji Temple and was involved in the dark ritual. Their disappearance happened to be in the second grade, which shows that this plan also has certain flaws. Students have no homework to kill their energy.
You can really do anything.
However, speaking of Daitokuji Temple, Daitokuji Temple also happened to appear at the door of Judai and his dormitory.
"I thought I heard it wrong, it turns out Judai you have already come to school, meow~" Holding the big fat cat "Pharaoh" in his arms, Daitokuji poked his head into the room from the open window, smiling.
He looked at the students he hadn't seen for two months and said, "There's also Manjomu and Marufuji, long time no see, nya~"
"It's only been two months since we last saw each other, Teacher Daitokuji. How can it be that we haven't seen each other for so long?"
"Oh, for an old man like me, two months is already a long time. After all, no one knows how long I can live." Daitokuji said with a smile as he squinted his eyes.
But no matter Judai or Banjome, even Sho Marufuji didn't take what Daitokuji said at ease. After all, they were all people who had experienced Nanahoshi's incident, and they also knew that Teacher Daitokuji was now "reincarnated."
In the current artificial body manufactured by the medical company under the Kaiba Group, all the parts have not been used for even half a year. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "newly created person".
And based on the quality of the products of the Haima Group, even this "Unit 1" artificial human has a service life not much different from that of a normal human being. Maybe by the time Wan Zhang Mu, ten generations of young people like them have died of old age, they will have to put on a new body.
Daitokuji didn’t even have time to die for the third time.
However, Judai still expressed his welcome and miss to Daitokuji, whom he had not seen for two months, and warmly invited him into the dormitory. At the same time, Judai also mentioned a doubt he had after returning to school: "Dadeji"
Teacher Temple, when I came here, I seemed to see your photo taken down from the window of our dormitory?"
"Why is the position of the dormitory director now replaced by a picture of the 'Pharaoh'?"
As he spoke, Judai reached out and touched the unconscious big orange cat in the arms of Daitokuji, the current upright dormitory director.
"Well, because of what happened last year, without Chairman Kagemaru covering up the truth, the board of directors found out that I lied about my age." Speaking of this, Daitokuji was also a little helpless, "Although my mental age is ninety.
I’m many years old, but the board of directors deducted all the seniority bonus from my salary on the grounds that my biological age is very young.”
"Not only that, they also reset my age. Last year, I was supposed to work for 32 more years before I could retire. But this year, it took me 41 years to retire. It's really outrageous.
Come on, meow!”
Having said this, even Dadeji felt a little unhappy and pinched the fat thigh of the "Pharaoh" in his arms, causing it to wake up in an instant from the pain. He looked at Dadeji's face like "crazy scratching"
"——It's like warning Daitokuji that what he just mentioned are untouchable slides.
"But at least, Daitokuji-sensei, you are still alive now, aren't you?" Because Daitokuji's pain as an adult who had to postpone his retirement was too strong, Marufuji Sho also comforted Daitokuji who was full of resentment.
One sentence.
"...Marufuji-san, where are you from, Yaona, nya?" Wiping the blood on his face, Daitokuji looked at the man who had just comforted him with words like "You are still alive, aren't you?"
My own Sho Marufuji complained.
Shaking his head, he quickly recovered from his self-pity, fully demonstrating the resilience of a social animal. And he couldn't deny that what Sho Marufuji said did make some sense - compared to what he thought he was at the beginning
The recognized heir of alchemy, Judai, died after giving the last lesson. Now he is at least still alive, and not in the form of a soul but with a real living body.
Living is indeed more important than anything else.
"Don't talk about these topics that are not suitable for minors, meow, I just saw that you seemed to be talking about something interesting." Shifting the topic from himself back to what Judai and the others were talking about before coming in, Daitokuji curiously
Said, "About 'image', 'error' and the like?"
"It's about Manzhangmu. He said that his brother is coming to visit the school, so he asked us for help to maintain his exaggerated image in front of his brother so as not to betray him." Judai said casually, then turned to look at Manzhangmu and said,
"But Wan Zhangmu, you haven't even told us what kind of image you are among your brothers and the others."
"While your brother hasn't come to school yet, we can prepare in advance."
Not only Judai and Xiang, but even Daitokuji is eager to give it a try: "Now that I've moved into Osiris-Red, if you need any help, you can ask me for help, nya, Banjome-san."
"Really? I won't be polite if you say that." Wan Zhangmu nodded and recounted all the things he had boasted about to his brother.
Although the Manzhangmu Consortium is not as powerful as the International Illusion Society and the Kaiba Group, it is not a small force. It was a large enterprise with considerable financial resources at least more than ten years ago. In the case of the eldest son of the three Manzhangmu brothers - Manzhangmu Nagasaku
After his birth, Wanzhangmu's father, who was the president of Wanzhangmu Consortium at the time, decided to train his child to become an excellent businessman from an early age, inherit and carry forward the Wanzhangmu Consortium.
A few years later, Wan Zhangmu's second brother, Wan Zhangmu Shoji, was born, and he showed certain talents since he was a child. This made Wan Zhangmu's father even more happy, but he did not let his eldest son compete with his second son.
Instead of trying to cultivate the second son's talents in other areas, he strives to let him shine in other areas and contribute to the greatness of the consortium.
Manjome Shoji initially chose Duel Monsters, which were initially becoming popular around the world, thinking about becoming an entertainment star or a popular world champion, but——
Tong Shiye encounters Hayato Kobayashi by chance in high school. He is as strong as a monster and can't defeat him even if he tries his best.
Not a genius.
Although Banjo Meshoji has talents that can be called geniuses in the field of duel monsters, almost all those who play duel monsters are geniuses, and there are even some who are more genius than geniuses. He found that he could not defeat Hayato, Yugi, and Kaiba among them.
The leader of their group, Manjome Shoji, also changed his mind very decisively and found another way out, and finally entered the political arena after graduation.
But before that, when Manjomu Shoji had not graduated, one day, the father of the ever-growing and prosperous Manjomu was once again blessed with a son. His third son, Manjomu, was born on time, which made him overjoyed, because he also showed certain qualities when he was a child.
His talent. The birth of excellent heirs again and again fueled his ambition. The father of Wan Zhang Mu came up with a brilliant idea with his astonishing wisdom -
Let the eldest son, the second son, and the third son exert their talents in three different fields, and at the same time obtain a leadership position to feedback the Wan Zhangmu Consortium, make the Wan Zhangmu Consortium bigger and stronger, kick the Kaiba Group, and punch the International Fantasy Society.
, make the Wan Zhang Mu Consortium great again!
This was the "destiny" set for him by his background before Wan Zhangmu even graduated from elementary school - the eldest son Wan Zhangmu Changsaku, a philistine and deep-tempered man, became a businessman running a group, and the second son Wan Zhangmu became a businessman running a group.
Meshoji relied on his talents to become a skilled politician, and Sueko Wanjomu became an excellent duelist in the increasingly popular field of dueling monsters.
Now, Manzhangmu Nagasaku has managed the Manzhangmu Consortium into a behemoth that ranks among the top ten in the world, and it is still developing rapidly by relying on the cooperation with the first and second-ranked International Illusion Society and the Kaiba Group.
Author: Banjome Shoji has become the mayor of Doshino City, which can be said to be the center of the world, and intends to run for prime minister next year.
The two brothers had already completed their part of the "Trinity All-round Dominance" and "Make-Manjome-Great-Again" plan, and the pressure naturally fell on Wan Zhangmu, and his eldest brother
Wan Jang Mu Changsaku was extremely concerned about his performance in Duel Academy.
In order to cope with the pressure from his brother, Wan Zhangmu reported the situation to his family -
"Let's play the role of the million-dollar younger brother and fans?" After hearing Judai's words, Misawa and Asuka both showed expressions of "Are you kidding me?"
"Onegai, if my brother discovers my true identity in school, Watasi——"
