Time passed minute by minute, and there were still only five people on the site. The last three players did not show up for a long time.
President Kaiba frowned and frowned, staring at the only entrance without blinking.
Yugi, what are you doing? Why haven't you appeared yet?
Marik also stared at the entrance, his mind turned sharply.
He participated in this competition originally to seek revenge for Pharaoh, and from the beginning to the end he never considered the possibility of "Pharaoh being eliminated in the preliminary competition".
But now he seemed to have to start thinking about this issue seriously – if Pharaoh didn't enter the finals, wouldn't he have no object of revenge?
Yuei Vu also felt a little strange at this moment.
By the way, in addition to Kaiba, shouldn't the fastest one be Yugi? Could it be because he wait for Jonouchi and was delayed for a while?
But it took too long, didn't it? Jonouchi only lacked two puzzle cards. It should be easy to fill, right?
Finally, just when everyone almost lost their patience, the protagonists finally appeared from outside the door.
The leader was Muto Yugi – the main personality, the one who was harmless to humans and animals. It seemed that Yami Yugi has been fighting for too long and was now recharging.
Followed by Jonouchi, Kujaku Mai, as well as the relatives and friends who cheered them like the cheerleading team.
It was because Mai was grabbed by the Hollywood star uncle and played cards on the way, so the group was delayed until now.
Fortunately, in the end, Kujaku Mai won without any risk, otherwise, she would have to become his wife in the end. The inner surface of Jonouchi looked heartless, but when he thought about it now, he still felt a little scared…
But in this way, the protagonists of the original work have caught up anyway. Three duelists, just three places left…
"Yuei…Yuei Yu!"
Another voice came from outside the door. Yuei Vu was startled, looked at the sound, and found… eh, isn't that Snow Wave?
Snow Wave waved his hand outside the door vigorously, and charged straight toward Yuei Vu with a face full of joy. He didn't even look sideways when he passed by Yugi and Jonouchi.
The protagonist team?
So what? How can they be as good as my Yuei Vu!
What? You said there are choppy beauties and innocent and lovely girls next door?
Oh, it's boring!
Now he has seen it clearly. Chest, legs, hips, it's just flesh and bones!
I am a man who is determined to become a Duel King, so women are in the way!
…Yuei Vu, you've been waiting for a long time, here I come~
"…"
Well, in fact, Yuei Vu was not too surprised.
He felt that if a player could advance in the Battle City Tournament, Snow Wave should be the one with the greatest chance.
After all, Snow Wave was the first player that Yuei Vu came into contact with, he could be considered his first, and he always behaved so well and bootlicked so hard. In addition, he had officially settled in as a working boy in the Dream Card Shop. Yuei Vu has actually given him quite a lot.
Compared with other players who just entered the game and are still wandering in the dark, Snow Wave has already got a lot of good things and was considered to be at the forefront of the players.
In fact, Snow Wave is quite famous in the player forum. After all, he was the only player who had the opportunity to "work next to Yuei Vu".
In addition, this Battle City competition was an excellent opportunity for publicity, so Yuei Vu naturally arranged some benefits for him, so that he could perform better than other players, thus more players would follow his example. Then the chives harvest would be better in the coming year…
But now there was a new problem.
There were only eight places in the promotion round, but there were already nine people here. And the last four arrived at the scene almost at the same time…
But after all, everyone was a duelist, so it was easy to solve such a trivial matter.
Kaiba waved his hand directly: "Then the last of you to arrive, decide the final spot by yourself in a duel! Those who lose must give up their qualifications and withdraw from the competition!"
When it came to playing cards, things were immediately simple.
Muto Yugi took a step forward without saying a word, and the golden light of the Millennium Puzzle flashed across his chest. As soon as Yugi's eyes are closed and opened, the big eyes that were honest and gentle just a second ago are now full of "AIBO, who do you want to beat".
"Okay! Then I'll accept this duel." Tami Yugi who switched personalities said, "I'll compete with you for the last spot."
Snow Wave couldn't help but want to yell at him.
Oh God, why? Why did I have to go head-to-head with the gatekeeper BOSS first when I advance?
And don't think I didn't know that your booster was secretly online! Referee, why don't you care about a foul right in front of your face?
…Oh, the referee belongs to the president's family, so that's fine.
(President Kaiba: Think about it with your head, will I disqualify my Yugi?)
Just when Snow Wave desperately felt that her dream of being "the only Battle City player" was about to be shattered, Sister Kujaku Mai stood up in time.
"No, Yugi, Jonouchi, I have to do this." She said, "It's my fault for delaying you until now. If it wasn't for me, you should have already arrived."
"Mai…" Jonouchi was hesitant to say anything.
This was true. The duel with that Hollywood foreigner on the way was originally a personal affair of Mai, and Yugi and Jonouchi were just waiting for her to waste time.
"Needless to say, if you are on my behalf, as a duelist, I will not feel at ease even if I advance." Kujaku Mai insisted, "Come on, we will decide the final spot here!"
"Okay! I accept this duel!"
Snow Wave hurriedly took advantage of her speech before Yugi could say no.
Playing with Yami Yugi, he felt that he was already finished, but with Kujaku Mai he still had a chance.
It's not that Kujaku Mai was not strong, but because among so many people present, she was the only one who had no spirit, no magical items, and no cheat…
…Yes, I'm looking at you, Jonouchi the lucky boy.
There's still hope for a fight with her.
At this time, acting as a tool for the camera, Miss Yuehua's live broadcast room was more lively than before.
"I know him! Isn't that Snow Wave? The one who works in the Yuei Vu store!"
"I heard that his Favorability level has reached over 50!"
"It's fake, is just guessing, there is no picture."
"It's awesome, can a player really enter the semi-finals? This should be regarded as the strongest player in the Open beta, right?"
Amid the chatter of the audience, the duel has begun.
The first was Kujaku Mai. She got up and called a Harpie Lady first, and then went straight to set three cards.
[Harpie Lady, ATK 1300]
Snow Wave couldn't help complaining when he saw that posture: What the hell, three set cards? Big sister, it's a bit too nether, isn't it?
But it didn't matter, he had the soul card he received from Yuei Vu, and he has the power of charisma! (referring to the Favorability of up to 40 points)
"My turn, draw!" Snow Wave said loudly, "Heroes can never back down!
I summon the 'Elemental HERO Avian'! "
