Yu-Gi-Oh GX Heroes

"After completing the second format of the professional RK competition and entering the third format, it is also the first battle to advance to the 'Legend' in a new field. Are you confident?"

That's right, today's game is an important game where Ryo Marufuji decided to officially enter the third game after clearing the second game and taking a week's rest - the "Form Upgrade Tournament"! As long as he wins this battle, Marufuji Ryo will become a "legendary duelist" like the two "Maze Brothers" who were called by Professor Chronos to teach Judai and Marufuji Sho his biological brothers.

"The confidence is definitely there."

Ryo Marufuji, who was in the last rest period before the game, nodded when he heard this, but soon the expression on his face turned into a bitter smile, and he sighed and said:

"I really don't know if I'm lucky or not? In this promotion match, the identity of your opponent was actually assigned by the system to the person below you!"

It was obviously him, Ryo Marufuji, who entered the third format of the "Promotional Tournament". He had not yet officially become a "Legendary Duelist", but the identity of his opponent was actually assigned to the "Legendary Field" ranked second only to Yu Ye. The man underneath.

Competitions that span two competition formats are called "promotional competitions", and duelists who advance from this competition system to the next competition format will no longer face opponents of the same level as in the previous promotion space battles. They are not opponents of the same competition system, but high-level professional duelists who are completely across competition systems! That is, the fifteenth-level players of the Fantasy KC Cup face the "Unyielding Silver" of the professional RK competition, and the supreme star of the professional RK competition faces the first-stage legendary duelist of the legendary master level.

Although it is said that the opponents of the "Form Upgrade Tournament" are high-level duelists who have surpassed their current level, "pseudo-legendary duelists" like Ryo Marufuji who have not yet reached the next realm will encounter the legendary realm when they come up. Isn't it a little unfair that the person ranked only below You Ye is?

Faced with this question, You Ye would only answer this way:

Fair, but not entirely fair.

In the promotion competition of the competition system, your opponent is a high-level duelist who has officially reached the next level. However, the allocation of players is not randomly decided. The system promotes the duel based on everything you have done in the past in the competition system you are currently in. Performance, after precise data analysis, the results are obtained, and then we will assign you a high-level duelist suitable for your current strength.

Ryo Marufuji was promoted to the final "Level 15" in the first format with sixty consecutive wins and no losses in the first format. After the system analyzed the data and obtained the results, the opponent arranged for him was "Unyielding Silver" in the second format. "The level of the strongest among them.

Winning the opponent not only means that you have successfully upgraded and entered the next competition system, but also indicates your dueling strength. The initial starting point of the new competition system is the position of the opponent you defeated, which is just the literal rank. Level, no matter how strong you are, you have to rise step by step.

Because that is "fair" to other duelists who are slightly weaker. After all, what if you capsize in the promotion space battle? Maybe one of your overturned opponents is one of those weaker duelists, and your overturn gave him one more "lucky" victory.

Not only does it add up to one more victory, it also gives you a new source of conversation. After all, your strength is much higher than that of him. As a result, you overturned and lost to him. This is "fair" to that type of duelist. Also required.

On the contrary, if you are strong enough, you won't care about the promotion space battle in the middle. Just win continuously and successfully advance!

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

Ryo Marufuji not only won 60 consecutive games in the first format, but also won 20 consecutive games in the second format. Such an excellent record also allowed the system to assign him the number one existence in the legendary field (Yu Ye) The results for the players below.

If Ryo Marufuji was promoted to the final Supreme Star in the second round, then the opponents matched by the system were also those who were near the bottom of the legendary field.

What kind of strength matches what kind of opponent? If you are weak, even if you win, it will be the same. If you are strong, you will be proud of winning, and you will not lose at all if you lose! After all, there is no risk of falling out of the rank of Supreme Star. As long as you have that idea, as long as you have the spirit, you can hit the legendary field countless times and start the "Form Upgrade Competition"!

But at that time, the system will also decide based on your performance in the format upgrade matches again and again... whether your opponent in a format upgrade match will be replaced, or whether the opponent's strength will increase, or whether the opponent will be replaced. Descending in the opposite direction.

"Anyway, go for it! If you beat him, you'll earn a lot of money, and if you lose, you won't lose anything at all. Just think of it as gaining experience before entering the third format of the 'Legendary Field'. After all, I can't always take care of you!"

Everyone has their own path to take. It can be said that it is completely "very good" to lead Marufuji Ryo to this point. It has transcended the category of "friends", but it still belongs to the category of "sponsor". inside.

"One last thing, that guy uses a 'Hero' deck similar to mine, which is the 'Hero' series!"

After saying that, You Ye walked out of the lounge, leaving Marufuji Ryo alone for the last time.

……Dividing line……

It was still that room, a room illuminated by incandescent lights.

"I have seen your future...with that newly promoted professional league nobleman named 'Ryo Marufuji'."

Looking at the tarot cards in his hand, Saiou said with an expression on his face. Ed, who was behind him, leaned against the door frame just like last time, with his arms crossed and his head pressed against the door frame. He closed his eyes and took a nap for a while, then softly responded to Saiou:

"To end with my victory, the Tarot card in your hand is still 'The Chariot' - the chariot, right? It represents 'complete victory'."

"Ouch~"

Saiou chuckled and twisted his head slightly. He caught a glimpse of Ed's posture from the corner of his eye. When he saw that the other person had completely closed his eyes, he turned back and asked with a little curiosity in his tone:

"Have you learned divination? Like me, do you have the power to predict the future?"

Facing Saiou's inquiry, Ed still maintained this posture and spoke softly again:

"Tarot divination... you can figure it out by watching you do the same thing day after day, plus searching for information online."

"As for the power to predict the future? I am just a mortal. Where did I get that magical power? But if I have to say it, it's because I believe in myself."

"oh?"

Saiou let out a curious sigh again, wondering how Ed could believe in him.

"My strength surpasses Marufuji Ryo, and my status is the same. No matter how I think about the outcome of the duel, there is no second situation other than 'I win'!"

"So, even without your divination and your future predictions, the outcome of this duel is already in my hands!"

"..."

Saio was silent, then Ed continued to speak:

"My current goal is to dominate the professional league and defeat You Ye in a head-to-head duel! Get the first place in the legendary field and become one of the new 'Eight Masters' in the next session! And..."

And be sure to find “that guy”! I'm the one to blame for becoming an orphan!

No one noticed that when Ed said these words deep in his heart, his beautiful blue eyes turned into a terrifying gray color.
