Chapter 110: The Unique Gravity of Insults of New Humans
Unlike neighboring countries across the sea, although children in Japan also start school at the age of six, the start of school is not in September, but in April.
Normally, this would not have any special impact. After all, it doesn’t matter whether birthdays are earlier or later. However, because of the age grouping rules of the GeneX competition announced by Haima, it directly resulted in birthdays being before February. It is very likely that a student will lose the chance to participate because his or her age just exceeds the upper limit of the youth group but does not reach the lower limit of the adult group after his or her birthday.
What a coincidence is that among Hayato and the others, there is only one person in the city whose birthday is before February 10th, the expected start date of the GeneX competition. Among the others, the nearest Hayato is Hayato is also on February 21st.
"That's unforgivable, Kai, Kaiba!" Jonouchi said angrily, "That guy Kaiba must be afraid that Uncle Jonouchi will suddenly kill him and embarrass him in front of the whole world, so he deliberately set up such an outrageous Use the rules to make things difficult for me!"
"Probably not. Didn't you hear clearly what Kaiba said just now? He made it clear that this duel is reserved for young duelists who want to show off their abilities, and adult duelists who already want to become teachers and show off their strength, isn't it? A duel where the goal is to win and win prizes."
As Honda spoke, he took out his mobile phone to search for information on the Internet, and quickly found information about the speech Kaiba just gave, "Not only Doushinoichi, that guy Kaiba made the announcement just now simultaneously around the world. Ah, by the way, the prizes that the winners will receive are also announced.”
Several people also looked at Honda's mobile phone curiously and read the text on the screen.
"The third runner-up in the youth category will get the opportunity to join the professional duelist support program planned by the International Illusion Society and receive one-on-one assistance from a professional agent!" Jonouchi subconsciously widened his eyes.
"If you are the runner-up, you can get a job quota provided by Haima Entertainment Group and International Illusion Society on the basis of the third runner-up. Even if you don't want to be a professional duelist, you can get a high-paying job in one step." .
"And the champion of the youth group will be able to get additional card customization services provided by the International Illusion Society on top of the runner-up. Not only will they get the opportunity to make exclusive cards, but they will also get another chance to duel with the duel king?!"
Kyoko also looked at Hayato and said, "Even I can only sigh that a prize of this level is too generous, especially for those of the right age who like to duel monsters. Speaking of which, Kaiba actually got the chance to duel with you again. Come and act as a gimmick, Hayato."
"No, this time is different from the KC Cup. This time, Kaiba has discussed it with me and Yugi beforehand." Hayato smiled and said, "After all, you also heard Kaiba talk about this competition. It was jointly organized by Haima Entertainment Group and International Illusion Society, and the game and I are the first and second largest shareholders."
"Yes, you two are still holding the 'trophies' you got after winning the Duel Kingdom. Hmm... you're a little jealous." Jonouchi glanced at Hayato and Yugi with resentment, but he didn't feel jealous at all. idea.
He has not forgotten that when he desperately participated in the Duel Kingdom for Shizuka's medical expenses, who brought him to the island when he was not qualified, who gave him a powerful card to help his immature self become stronger, and who After he lost, he helped pay for Shizuka's medical expenses...
Oh, the last one is Becas, he doesn’t count. In short, Jonouchi is not jealous of Hayato and Yugi, he is only slightly envious of the shares they hold in the International Illusion Society. Now that duel monsters are becoming more and more popular all over the world, even if Becas is lying flat all the way, he can't bear the stock rising, and the value of the shares in the hands of the two is also rising.
Not long ago, when Bekas returned to the rebuilt American headquarters of the International Illusion Society from vacation, a reporter recognized him on the way and asked him, "How did the International Illusion Society's current wealth come from?" Bekas also answered at a loss. The sentence "I don't know, it was blown by the strong wind".
"Eh? That's not right. Why do I remember that when I was in Egypt, it was always you, Hayato, who was driving? Why do you have a motor vehicle driving license when you are not an adult?" Honda asked curiously when Hayato said that he was underage. .
"Well, although Japan is considered an adult at the age of 20, and Egypt is considered an adult at the age of 21, in some countries, it is only considered an adult at the age of 16." Hayato stretched out a few fingers, rubbed them together, and smiled. Said, "Capital, isn't it amazing?"
Jonouchi, who was shocked by Hayato's "little capital shock" from Hayato, complained: "Can you do whatever you want if you have money?"
"I'm sorry, you can really do whatever you want if you have money." Hayato said arrogantly, and Yugi on the side also matched his smiling expression, "But Yugi and I probably won't participate in this event. The competition is, after all, mainly reserved for those who are not yet famous.”
"Although there are no hard and fast rules, it is really not appropriate for Hayato and I to participate in such a duel."
If it is an all-age duel without distinction, the game may also have the idea of playing cards with those duelists in the adult group. After all, the world is such a big place, and there are always crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the field of duel monsters, but with students aged 12-17 Let's forget about the duel.
Glancing at Honda's phone screen, Yugi smiled and pointed at a rule and said, "Oh, it turns out we understood it wrong before. Jonouchi, you don't have a chance to sign up."
"After the announcement is issued, registration will be open at both the Kaiba Entertainment Group Headquarters Building and Kaiba Paradise in Doshino City. The age of the contestants will be determined based on the registration time." Jonouchi read the rules and said with joy, "Oh oh Oh, that means as long as I sign up before my birthday, I can still compete at the limit!"
"Yo Xi, Mr. Jonouchi is completely fired up, and his blood is boiling!" Opening the lunch box in his hand, Jonouchi lowered his head and looked down with interest, "I'm going to treat my brother with the bento Shizuka made for me... ah?"
The colorful lunch that Jonouchi expected did not appear at all. The lunch box contained liquid black paint, solid black paint, and solid-liquid mixture of black paint.
"Jounouchi, this is your first time eating bento, but Shizuka seems to be making bento for the first time too. After all, her previous physical condition did not allow her to gain experience in making bento. Otherwise, why would she go to Yin Xisi to learn from her? How about cooking?"
Opening the lunch box Yin Xisi made for herself, Hayato set up a piece of heart-shaped luncheon meat, which was in sharp contrast to the indescribable items in Jonouchi's lunch box, "Ah la la, I really envy you Jonouchi, you can actually eat sister The bento is super delicious.”
"You're showing off, you're provoking!" Jonouchi looked at the dark lunch box in his hand, his blood was extinguished, and he said sadly and angrily, "Oh Nore Hayato!"
"Wow, I don't have any appetite at all..." Tairiang glanced at the chaos in Jonouchi's lunch box, shook his head, and picked up his own lunch box, "Want to have some cream puffs, Jonouchi-kun?" "
Jonouchi glanced at the cream puff in Tairiang's hand, then looked down at the deep darkness in his hand, wondering which way to die he should choose.
At this time, it is time to test the relationship between brothers.
The distressed Jonouchi felt someone pat his shoulder. He turned around and saw Honda handing out his generous lunch box to him: "Jounouchi, do you want to trade with me?"
"Honda, you..."
Jonouchi watched with great emotion as Honda stuffed his portion of the bento into his hand, and then took the dark, fragrant and defective product in his hand that already contained two substandard products. Pick up a solid ball that seems to be a rice ball with a tachyon.
"No, Honda, it's hell ahead!" Jonouchi, who couldn't bear to see Honda die, quickly held his hand, but saw a relieved expression on Honda's face, "It's okay, Jonouchi, I will definitely save Shizuka Finished the bento I made.”
As he spoke, Honda put the object held by Tachyon into his mouth.
Once or twice, in Jonouchi's eyes as if looking at a god, Honda did not hesitate at all and put the unappetizing thing in the lunch box, probably food, into his mouth. In a short time, he actually Nearly half of it was sucked in by his storm!
Kyoko also looked at Honda speechlessly: "Just because it is made by Shizuka-chan, it can actually be eaten..."
"Kyoko, do you want to say that licking a dog is really awesome?" Hayato said while eating a bento, "But is there a possibility that the bento made by Shizuka is actually delicious?"
"Impossible, completely impossible!" Jonouchi said firmly after looking at the bento held by Honda.
"Within the city, it's completely possible." Yugi, who had a flexible mind and thought quickly, guessed Hayato's prank early on, and smiled and said, "Think about it, how could Shizuka prepare an unpalatable lunch for her brother? Woolen cloth?"
"That's it. Although the appearance is really bad, Shizuka has actually learned two-thirds of Yin Xisi's cooking skills. The fragrance is just because it's cold so I can't smell it." Hayato saw that Yugi had already said something After understanding it, I stopped teasing Cheng Nei and told the truth.
He had already known about the situation of Shizuka's bento from Yin Xisi, but it was just combined with the extremely misleading appearance of Shizuka's bento in the Fool City. As for why Shizuka didn't tell Jonouchi about the status of her bento...please, how could Shizuka say this?
After Jonouchi thought for a second, he decisively put down the Honda lunch in his hand and turned around to grab the lunch that hadn't been completely eaten: "Honda, stop it! Why are you eating faster and faster! Leave some for me. , Shizuka made this for me!"
Honda and Jonouchi stuck together and started fighting over the bento, while the other four people watched the show without any intention of starting a fight and ate the bento in their hands.
Satisfied with the last piece of hamburger meat left in the lunch box, Yugi turned to look at Hayato, who had also finished the lunch box, and moved closer.
"...Hayato, do you think this competition can really find the eighth [Millennium Artifact]?" Yugi's muffled voice reached Hayato's ears, and because of the sound of the wind on the rooftop and the fight between Jonouchi and Honda nearby, , his voice was not heard by others.
"I can't give a guarantee, but this is the best way I know to lure out the person who holds the [Millennium Artifact]." Hayato also lowered his voice and replied, "That's why I took the lead in persuading Bekas found Haima again to promote this duel."
"Although it can also help the establishment of the Duel Academy, its main purpose is to satisfy my purpose of finding the person who holds the eighth [Millennium Artifact]."
Although the GeneX competition was just announced by Kaiba, the real promoter and planner is actually Hayato sitting here. There is no other reason. He wants to remove himself and the existence of "Duel King Kobayashi Hayato" from the GeneX competition as much as possible, lest the fish he wants to catch refuses to bite the hook.
"But can we really lure that person out?" Yugi said a little unconfidently, "And if we can seize the [Millennium Artifact] held by others, what if that person also has a special bond with the [Millennium Artifact]? Aren’t we bad guys?”
"You can rest assured on this. The purpose of the person holding the [Millennium Artifact] is inherently conflicting with ours. If we don't find him, sooner or later he will find us, and I don't like to be passive. "
Hayato packed the lunch box, raised his hand and touched the "fish erbium" prepared on his chest, and continued, "And did you hear what Kyoko just said? That fish has actually come to Doshino Market with its smell. It’s over.”
"Now, let the bullets fly for a while."
The farce between Jonouchi and Honda also came to an end when Jonouchi grabbed the last bite of the bento, and then the two of them shared Honda's bento, and they were both quite full.
Except for Tapirang who still had a few boxes of cream puffs left to eat, everyone had finished their lunch, and everyone got up and left the rooftop, walking leisurely toward the classroom downstairs as if taking a walk to eat.
"Oh, what a splendid youth. Teacher, I have had wonderful memories of eating bento with my classmates before." Looking at Hayato and his party passing by the window of the office, they looked like they were good at playing cards because of their hairstyles. , Teacher Saotome in the office looked at them a few more times,
"Huh? That's not right. I'm only forty years old. Why am I starting to look like an old man? What should I do if my daughter dislikes me in the future? Damn gravity!"
She casually cursed gravity like a newbie, but in fact, she was a hidden robot animation enthusiast. Teacher Saotome pushed up her glasses: "Huh? Is that boy following Jonouchi, Honda and the others from our school? Hey. ? It seems that he is from the class I teach, what is his name? Alas, he is indeed old."
