Chapter 568 Graduation Duel (Ch 568)

Duel Academy, Great Hall.
The third-year students gathered in the auditorium, looking up at the huge electronic screen hanging high in the air. Although there was nothing on the screen, there was already an invisible tense atmosphere among the students.
It may be a bit inappropriate to say this, but it’s like awaiting trial.
Yes, that’s right, it’s like a trial.
Because today is the day when the scores are announced.
As we all know, the Duel Academy is a place with a strict hierarchy, and this system is completely determined by grades. The final grades of students are also determined by their comprehensive qualities in all aspects, not only looking at the actual duel performance, but also the paper scores of theoretical knowledge.
Today is the day for the results to be released, which is the final result of the assessment for all the students present. This is the most important result for them in the past three years, which is not only the final account of their achievements in the past three years, but also the most important stepping stone for the next stage of their lives.
The diploma of the Duel Academy is very strong in the duel world, and the final examination results are naturally very important. After graduation, students submit their resumes to various duel fields, and the test results and the ranking within the academy are very important.
I already have a sense of déjà vu as students at the end of the college entrance examination are eagerly waiting for the results to be released.
Of course, there were also some students who were confident and not panicking at all.
For example, at the top of the list right now, there is the eye-catching name behind the number “NO.1” that everyone is paying attention to.
Marufuji Ryo.
“Mamma Mia!”
Professor Greed’s highly recognizable voice rang out.
“As expected of Marufuji-san, he got full marks in almost every subject!”
“The absolute number one of this year without any suspense, and the graduate of the year representing the college this year!”
As Professor Chronos spoke, it was as if a spotlight fell on Marufuji Ryo, and the students around him all cast admiring and awed glances at him.
But Marufuji Ryo’s expression remained calm.
If it were the original world line, he would still be somewhat pleased with himself at this point. After all, it was the most satisfactory answer he had given himself in the past three years, and it was also a symbol of his unrivalled strength in the academy.
But now he no longer had any such emotion in his heart.
Because to him, this so-called exam was not a real graduation assessment at all, and his opponents were not the long list of people on the screen who were inferior to him.
No, in this Duel Academy, there were only a few people, including Yuki Judai, whom he truly considered as his rivals.
And above all, the one person he regarded as the real graduation exam and the biggest challenge he had ever faced in his life was only that one person.
“Now, according to the school’s rules.”
Chronos said.
“As valedictorian, you have to fight a battle to represent this class of students.”
“You can choose your opponent from any student in the school. So Marufuji-san…”
“It has already been decided.”
Marufuji Ryo interrupted and picked up the student terminal in his hand to take a look.
Not only had he already decided, he had even sent out the challenge invitation. Even though the results had not yet been announced, he was very sure that he would be the top graduate and was extremely confident that he would be the representative this year.
Because his opponents have never been the students who compete with him.
At this time, the man finally gave a reply.
Just one word.
“Can.”
Marufuji Ryo couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.
…
…
“Battle of the Century”.
This is the name given to this duel in the school newspaper of Duel Academy.
Caesar, who has been at Duel Academy for three years, as the representative of this year’s graduates, challenges the man who created a legend in his first year at Duel Academy.
The guy in Huang Dormitory was once the most unmentionable person in the entire academy, but after miraculously creating a legend, he became the pride of the entire academy.
The Duel King, Fujiki Yugen.
Of course, this was not their first battle. The students had all witnessed the battle in Duel City. If some people still found it hard to accept that Caesar lost to the Yellow Lord, then now everyone felt that it was natural that they could not defeat the Duel King. It could not be said that Caesar was not strong enough, he had tried his best.
Today is a revenge battle.
Of course, it is still clear who the challenger is.
Although he arrived on time as agreed, You Xuan found that Marufuji Ryo had been waiting on the stage for a long time. The audience seats were packed with people half a day in advance, which made him seem late.
“You’re here.” Marufuji Ryo looked at him.
“I am coming.”
You Xuan nodded and then smiled.
“I heard that Caesar’s graduation scores in all subjects were close to full marks, and he is one of the best graduates in the history of Duel Academy. Congratulations.”
“If I can’t overcome the highest barrier I’ve encountered in these three years, everything else will be nothing but clouds.” Marufuji Ryo shook his head.
As he spoke, the duel disk had already unfolded.
“You are right. I used to be so self-satisfied in the duel that I was stuck in the trap of ‘perfection’.
But thanks to you, I have now broken through the bottleneck that has stuck me for three years and made a breakthrough!”
“Hahaha, then I’m looking forward to it.” You Xuan also unfolded the duel disk.
“Duel!” x2
【You Xuan, LP 4000】
【Marufuji Ryo, LP 4000】
“I attack first, draw a card!”
It is rare to see Marufuji Ryo take the initiative.
The Cyber ​​Dragon of this era can almost be said to be a pure second-hand deck. Even if Marufuji Ryo gets the first-hand chance randomly, he will often take the initiative to give it up. But at this time, he took the first hand, which does seem a bit different from the past.
“I summon ‘Infernal Dragon’ in defensive position.”
[Infernal Dragon, Defense 0]
“Then cover a card and the turn is over!”
Marufuji Ryo ended the brief first round.
Such an operation only left everyone confused.
Marufuji Ryo actually used the Dragon Tribe?
This in itself is quite strange, as no one has ever seen Marufuji Ryo use cards other than those of the Mechanical family.
And the Hell Dragon is on guard?
The Infernal Dragon is a 4-star, powerful fighter with 2000 attack power. How could anyone summon this thing and point its 0 defense at the opponent?
Only Principal Samejima in the stands guessed Marufuji Ryo’s intention.
It’s electronic darkness.
The Electronic Flow is a deck called “Electronic Darkness”, and its characteristic is that it can absorb dragons in the graveyard as equipment to increase attack power.
This is probably done to allow the opponent to defeat the Infernal Dragon and accumulate dragon resources in the cemetery, right?
“Liang, you really need to use that…” Samejima had a complicated expression.
Others have never seen electronic darkness, but You Xuan knows it.
The operation of defending against summoning the Hell Dragon is exactly the same as the Hell Caesar in the animation. However, we can only say that each has its own tactical style. If You Xuan were to come, he would probably not play like this.
But since Maruto Ryo is willing to give away such a high-quality fighter for free, he has to accumulate dragon resources…
“It’s my turn, draw a card.”
You Xuan directly took a picture of the monster.
“Summon ‘Truckbot’.”
[Truck robot, attack power 1000]
“Robot?”
Marufuji Sho was the most surprised.
Yugen actually used a robot like himself to duel with his brother…
An inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in my heart.
“Truck robot, attack the ‘Hell Dragon’.”
The anthropomorphic machine fell to the ground, and the small truck rumbled and blew gas as it rammed into the Hell Dragon. Of course, the Hell Dragon with zero defense could not resist, and was smashed to pieces with a loud bang.
“And at this moment, the effect of Truckbot is activated!” You Xuan said, “When the opponent’s monster is destroyed in battle, equip this card with that monster as an Equipment Card.
This card’s attack power increases by the attack power of the monster equipped with this card’s effect! ”
Marufuji Ryo: “!”
