Chapter 772 Candidates
As expected, the duel between Yuu and Kaiba Seto became the headline topic of the Duel Academy for the next week. You can hear people talking about it almost everywhere, in the classrooms during breaks, in the corridors outside the classrooms, in the noisy cafeteria, and on the tree-lined paths outside the academy.
After this battle, the students also had a clearer understanding of the strength level of the world's top duelists. Those students who were originally proud and complacent and felt that they were close to first-class masters were also forced to accept their own shortcomings.
And since that day, Manjomuzu has entered a highly tense state of preparation.
The instructions from his master Kaiba Seto himself are also the most important mission he has received since becoming Kaiba's apprentice, which is to defeat Yuki Judai in the upcoming selection competition and win the opportunity to represent the academy in the exchange competition with the Northern Academy.
The exchange competition itself is not the focus. It is said that the Northern Academy has never won the exchange competition with the headquarters in previous years, and the level of the students there is generally not as good as the headquarters.
But to get a place in the competition, it means that Manjomu must first defeat all other outstanding students in the headquarters in the selection process, and it is naturally impossible to bypass Yuki Judai in this process.
That is the opponent he has to defeat!
These days, Manjomu gets up early and goes to bed late, working twice as hard as usual. He changes the construction over and over again, consults and memorizes a lot of card information, and constantly picks out cards that he thinks are suitable for him from the huge card library to try various possible combinations.
He has been dueling with his younger brothers a lot these days. At first it was one-on-one, but later he felt that these so-called "excellent students" were too weak, so he simply let them go two or even three together, but he still won easily.
He studied all the duel videos of Yuki Judai until the middle of the night, created a special folder to classify the videos, and recorded a lot of notes of his experience.
Sometimes when the clock was about to turn, he was still concentrating on studying the videos he had watched countless times on the computer, trying to figure out Yuki Judai's tactical model and ideas.
His younger brothers couldn't help but murmur in private.
"Brother, are you watching the video of Yuki Judai again?"
"Why is he so interested in that kid? Last time, I seemed to have stared at him through the window for a long time."
"Damn, it's true. Brother, you wouldn't be interested in such a silly boy."
Just then, Manjome came out with a mug to pour coffee, and looked at them coldly: "What are you guys whispering about?"
The younger brothers were startled and quickly changed the topic. No one dared to mention it again.
A few days later, the official notice from the academy came down.
Eight students, including Yuki Judai, Manjome Jun, Tenjoin Asuka, Misawa Daichi, and even Maru Teng Liang, who was known as the Caesar of the academy, were called to the conference room after school one day.
Principal Samejima and Professor Chronos had been waiting here for a long time.
Professor Chronos smiled and explained to all the outstanding students present that the annual exchange duel with the Northern Academy would be held.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Judai's eyes lit up, "Does that mean I can fight a very powerful guy?!"
Looking at all the students present, they are all top students with excellent grades, only Yuki Judai is the last one in almost all theoretical courses. However, a certain jellyfish head has no sense of standing here, and he gets excited as long as he hears that there is a card game.
Of course, many students in the school know that this jellyfish head, although the last one, has an impressive record of defeating Professor Chronos in the entrance examination, so no one thinks it is inappropriate for him to stand here.
There are only eight people in total, and it seems that there are only eight candidates selected by the college. Among the candidates for representatives this year, there are Judai, Manjome, Misawa Daichi and Asuka, who actually occupy four places, which shows that this class of freshmen is extraordinary.
Chronos said that the eight of them need to compete for the only qualifying spot and play as representatives of the college. This weekend, they plan to hold an elimination-style selection.
But before the fight started, Maru Teng Liang spoke first: "I already participated as a representative last year, so I'll forget about it this year."
"Liang, you're not going to participate?" His mentor Samejima asked unexpectedly.
"Yeah." Maru Teng Liang glanced at Judai from the corner of his eye, then quickly turned his gaze back to his mentor, saluted and said, "My training is not enough, I need more efforts."
Although his sight just now was very hidden and even Judai himself didn't notice it, it was caught by Manjomu who had been paying attention.
Manjomu was secretly surprised.
What does this mean?
Could it be that Maru Teng Liang, who is known as the Caesar of the academy, has lost to this Yuki Judai?
Good guy, he is worthy of being the student of the Duel King. Although he looks silly and has no brains, his strength is indeed not to be underestimated.
"I'll forget about it too." Asuka also said.
Misawa said in surprise: "Asuka, how come you..."
"Judai and I have fought in private." Asuka didn't feel embarrassed and told the truth, "My strength is not enough, and I don't think it will be different again."
As she spoke, she even recalled the stomachache she felt when her "electronic ice skates" were killed instantly by Judai's "Cause and Effect Cutoff"
Misawa looked at Judai in surprise.
Even Asuka lost to him, and it sounded like she was completely defeated.
Is this Yuki Judai so strong?
Manjome looked at Judai with a sharper look.
Even so, he was confident that he would not lose and could not lose!
At this time, Judai, who was the focus of attention, had no sense of being the center and was even distracted.
"Suddenly I want to eat natto"
""
After that day, Manjome worked harder and got up early and went to bed late to cram. In order to save time, he went to the dormitory after class at noon and did not even go to the cafeteria. He just took a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" themed cup noodles from the canteen.
However, when he was in a hurry to rush back to the dormitory to continue studying the video and studying the fighting method, he happened to hear a voice that he was very familiar with these days.
"Ah~ Uh huh." Maru Tengxiang leaned against the river and yawned, "Brother, it's time to go eat. I haven't seen a single fish in the morning."
"Yeah, it seems so. I'm just unlucky. There's nothing I can do about it."
Manjomu stopped and took a closer look. He saw Yujo Judai lying on the river bank with his legs crossed and holding a fishing rod. He almost got angry.
I work hard every day from morning to night to prepare for the battle, and you're just fishing like a retired old man?
