Chapter 004 I'll Be the Referee

"Marketing department! The person in charge!?"

Jounouchi's jaw dropped to the ground in shock: "Aren't you still a student? How come..."

Tenma Night Walker raised his eyebrows: "Kaiba is also a student, but he is also the president of Kaiba Group. Compared to him, my identity as a worker is already quite simple."

"Marketing department..."

Muto Yugi suddenly remembered something: "In other words, the rarity rating of these cards is all up to you, Night Walker..."

Tenma Night Walker smiled and said: "Ah, that's right, please support our products in the future, Yugi, Jonouchi, of course , it would be even better if Xingzi is also willing to join the game. After all, female players are quite rare in the card game circle, especially a beauty like Xingzi, who is the Mirror-Broken White Dragon among duelists. Even if she is placed in the whole world, she is one in a million. "

"Oh!? Really?"

Xingzi felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, her pretty face was slightly red, but she was also a little happy: "Then... I will try to learn it too. If there is anything I don't know, I still need classmate Yexing to teach me."

Tenma Yexing patted his chest lightly: "It's my honor."

...

Behind him, Jonouchi and Yugi looked at Tenma Yexing with a frown on their faces.

"You are from the marketing department after all. You are really good at speaking nice words."

...

"But it's still a little unbelievable. Since Ye Xing is the head of the International Illusion Club, why did you transfer to Japan? The educational resources of foreign schools should be better, right?"

"Actually, my main purpose of coming to a Japanese school is not to study."

Tianma Ye Xing answered very frankly: "As I just said, I am currently in charge of the marketing department of the International Illusion Club. Duel Monsters cards are very popular in North America and Europe, but for now, there is still a blank in Asia, so I came here first to understand the environment in Japan and the preferences of middle school students, so as to make correct plans for market development in the future. After all, if you have young people, you own the world."

"What you said... is so professional..."

A group of people looked at Tianma Ye Xing in a confused and impressive way.

Tianma Ye Xing did not continue to talk in depth, but his eyes inadvertently passed over the Millennium Building Blocks on Yugi Muto's chest: "If you have any insights and opinions on Duel Monsters cards in the future, please feel free to give me feedback."

"No problem!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

Then they continued to open the boxes.

The lively atmosphere at the scene made Xingzi unable to resist opening a box of cards to satisfy her desire.

Unfortunately, none of them opened the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Not to mention the Mirror Shattered version.

"Let's duel, Yugi!"

Using the newly opened card pack to randomly assemble a deck, Jonouchi immediately challenged Yugi.

Yugi also added a few new cards to his original deck and then took on the duel.

Anzi, who was standing by, seemed to be concerned that Tenma Yagyu felt left out, so she sorted out the cards in her hand and said to him, "Wait a minute, Yagyu-san, I'll play with you later."

"It's okay, I can be the referee."

Tenma Yagyu smiled at Anzi, then walked to Yugi and Jonouchi: "Please confirm the number of cards in your deck and record the changes in life value with paper and pen. Before the duel begins, use dice or rock-paper-scissors to decide who will attack first."

"Huh?"

Hearing what Tenma Yagyu said, Jonouchi, who was about to shout "I'll take the first attack," was immediately disappointed: "Do you still want to play rock-paper-scissors?"

Tenma Yagyu nodded: "Of course."

...

So Jonouchi and Mutou Yugi played rock-paper-scissors honestly, but in the end, Mutou Yugi got the first attack.

Mutou Yugi was about to start playing cards: "Then draw five cards..."

But Tenma Yagyu called him to stop.

"Please shuffle your decks, and then let the other player cut the cards."

"Big... big shuffle?"

Jounouchi was confused: "What is this?"

Muto Yugi was much more professional after all, and explained to him: "It is a shuffle method that disrupts the order of cards to the greatest extent, just like playing cards, to ensure that the cards are arranged as randomly as possible."

"That kind of shuffle method!?"

Jounouchi looked at his deck with some distress: "Will my newly opened Blue Flame Swordsman be worn out? Can I just shuffle it simply?"

"You can choose to simply shuffle the opponent's cards, but that will also be accompanied by the risk of possible cheating."

Tenma Night Walker said this, looking at Jonouchi's bitter face, smiled and shook his head and said: "Don't worry, just to avoid card wear, the International Illusion Company has also released many card peripherals, such as card sleeves and outer protective sleeves, etc. At the same time, the shuffle method of playing cards is just a type of big shuffle. Duel Monsters cards have special split shuffles and side cut shuffles."

"Oh! So that's how it is! Night Walker, you are really professional."

Without saying anything, Jonouchi asked Muto Sugoroku behind the cash register, "Grandpa! Do you have card holders and protective covers for sale in the store!?"

"Of course we do."

Muto Sugoroku smiled and opened the cupboard, and took out several card holders from it: "Well, these are the official card holders sold by the International Illusion Society, with the Lion Wizard background, the Wind Fairy background, the Barbarian No. 1 background, and the Sea Dragon God background. Which one do you want?"

"Of course men should use Barbarian!"

Jonouchi started to pay on the spot: "And the coat I want one too, Grandpa!"

Muto Sugoroku took out two more coats: "The coat has two transparent sides and one frosted side. Which one do you want?"

Tenma Night Walker next to him reminded him: "If your hands are sweaty, it is recommended to use frosted side. Otherwise, after playing for a long time, the two transparent sides will stick together, which may cause you to draw one more card at the beginning and be directly judged as a loser by the referee."

"Is it so strict?"

Jounouchi was shocked and quickly paid for the frosted coat: "Then I want this one!"

Because there are more card holders.

Jounouchi worked hard for a long time before finally putting all his cards in the card holders and started the duel with Yugi again.

Under the guidance of Tenma Night Walker, Jonouchi also learned to stack and shuffle the cards.

Then...

Yugi Muto: LP: 8000

Katsuya Jonouchi: LP: 8000

"My turn, draw a card."

Yugi glanced at the card he had just drawn, and then placed it on the field: "I summon Magic Warrior Destroyer in Attack Position. This card will add a magic counter when it appears, and its attack power will increase by 300 points. It's your turn, Jonouchi-kun, at the end of my turn."

[Magic Warrior Destroyer, 4*, ATK: 1600, DEF: 1000, Effect: ①: Activate when this card is successfully summoned. Place 1 magic counter on this card (up to 1).

②: The attack power of this card increases by the number of magic counters on this card × 300.

③: Remove 1 magic counter from this card and activate it for 1 Magic/Trap Card on the field. Destroy that Magic/Trap Card. 】
