Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Familiar faces everywhere

    The weekend of the Second Week of June, Tokio was spending his time arranging his deck while thinking of his recent decisions and the information that he got from his cousins and friends.

His two cousins Minori and Minoru have joined the tournament and passed for the duel of the remaining 200 in the 3rd week of June.

The leisure club members also joined and told him that they also passed for the 3rd-week tournament duel.

" So why didn't you join the tournament President? "

" I just don't want to join. It's so troublesome. "

" With your enthusiasm with duel monsters, we thought that it would outdo your laziness. But it seems not. Nobu was even looking disappointed right now president. "

" I'm gonna sleep now. Tomoyuki.. "

" (sigh) okay president. "

During their days at the Domino High School, we're normal as it can get. But mostly all of them were enthusiastic about the tournament and told each other how they defeated their opponents.

Truthfully, Tokio wanted to join his friends. But, no, it would be troublesome and there would be problems and complications.

Also, he remembered what happened after his first duel in the tournament.

When Joey has given his speech before his defeat, Tokio was moved that he decided to do his impulse and ended up giving Joey some cards.

Ahhh... It was too late to regret it now and he should deal with the consequences of what he did.

He has said before that he wouldn't mess around with the main characters. But Joey's speech was inspiring at that time even when ended up defeated.

If there was a score about Joey's defeat, he ended up defeated with full shounen points.

Is this how Naruto's talks no Jutsu feel? Is this how Jaden's usual defeated opponents feel that more of them ended up with their redemption episode?

.. It was terrifying.

Terrible

But Tokio thought that he ended up giving in to his impulse because before Joey was already one of his favorite characters.

He also thought of Joey's current sister's condition and that he doesn't want joey to suffer much in the duel kingdom.

Next time, Tokio wouldn't give in to his impulse anymore and don't let himself be moved by inspiring shounen speech and affected by their aura.

-------------------------

In the 3rd week of the National Duel Monsters Championship, Tokio's 2nd duel was easily won. He ended up fighting an 8-year-old kid from the North Region Representative of Japan. It was an easy win for him and Tokio felt bad for making the kid cry at the end of the duel even though he was just dueling and not speaking at all as Akai Konami.

After the duel with the kid, he passed for the remaining top 400.

On the first day of the 3rd week, the top 400 happened on Thursday and the duel for the Top 200 would happen tomorrow.

People who would pass the Top 200 tomorrow would come back here in the Duel Arena in Tokyo next week to decide who would take the National Duel Monsters Champion title.

If Tokio wanted to reach the top 12, in the next week, he need to win 4 duels.

Also, as mentioned before, the next week's National Duel Monsters are live on television.

Just thinking about it made Tokio a little nervous and excited at the same time.

Since Tokio has finished the duel for the top 400, and the duel for the top 200 would be tomorrow, Tokio decided to don't return to Domino City and be absent from tomorrow's classes. Tokio would stay in a Hotel provided and sponsored by the joint partnership of Industrial Illusions and Kaiba corp.

While Tokio sleeps in the hotel room and still dons the disguise of Vagrant, he couldn't help but think about Kaiba and Pegasus.

The latter must be already trying to take over the Kaiba corp right?

And Mokuba must be already dealing with his brother being in a coma alone and developing his hatred for Yugi.

Should he visit the kid?

Nope. It wasn't like they were familiar with each other anyway.

And he mustn't also know about him.

Tokio could even count on his hands the number of times that Kaiba Seto had approached him.

One.

Two.

Five times?..

Or was it six?

Why did it even reach more than the number of fingers in his one hand?!

That guy was troublesome.

A few minutes later, Tokio drifted off to sleep.

Without the red cap on the vagrant's head, the modification that he did on the vagrant avatar is revealed.

If players from his past life saw him, they would immediately think that he was Shouma Yusa but with a red and white hair color scheme. Not only that, without the red hat blocking his eyes, mismatched pair of golden eyes would be revealed. One belongs to humans and the other eyes are also known as snake eyes.

--------------

When tomorrow arrived, Tokio have left early on the hotel after taking a bath, taking care of his hygiene, eating breakfast, and checking his deck. He arrives at the duel arena and saw that there are already other people. It seems that they were also excited and can't wait for the duel to start like him.

While waiting for the other duelists and the duel to start, Tokio looks around the duel arena.

His mouth parted in surprise as he saw Tomoyuki, Risa, Hailey, and Mayumi talking to each other.

Then glancing in the opposite direction, there were his twin cousins and they were with a very familiar kid. Isn't that Yugi's neighbor and that from the early Yugioh film from Toei? That other owner of red eyes black dragon other than Rex Raptor?

As Tokio glanced in another direction again. He couldn't help but think that the tournament is somewhat rigged.

He also saw some students from Domino High School. His four classmates were standard duelists in Yugioh Duel Links if he doesn't include Hailey.

Shaking his head, Tokio sighed and just wanted the duel to start.

But it seems that Horakty and the other Egyptian gods weren't listening to Tokio today.

There are more familiar faces around, among the people who have just entered the arena and went to audience seats are Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor.
