#445 - Quarterfinals
The next day, Gloria withdrew from the Resurrection Tournament duel.
Tenjoin Asuka, who was supposed to duel her, directly won and advanced to the next round.
At first glance, this was very fortunate, and it was in line with Asuka's usual good luck.
But to Fubuki, who was playing wheelchair racing in the hospital room, this was the worst choice.
Those still in the tournament now, unless they were professional duelists as absurd as Edo, were basically all students. The duelists participating were, at most, only a few years older than Asuka. And these duelists, whether it's their beliefs or persistence, always have their own unique points. Duelling such excellent duelists, every match is experience, every match is a gain, but now she's lost one for nothing.

And what's more dangerous is that Fubuki looks at the match schedule and feels that Asuka basically has no chance of winning.
Because her next opponent is Jim.
Asuka's tactics have always been to use the Cyber Angel monsters in the graveyard to revive themselves and control the opponent's monsters, but coincidentally, Jim's duels are aimed at the opponent's graveyard.
Whether it's Fossil Fusion or the Tyrant Neptune he used in his duel with Tenjoin Hikari, it's all the same idea.
This is very unfavorable for Asuka, who relies purely on powerful cards to get to where she is now—and sure enough, after only two turns, she showed signs of decline, and after one more turn, she completely entered garbage time.
Fubuki sighed.
There was nothing he could do. Could he severely punish his cute sister?
As an older brother, he had been missing for more than a year, causing his sister to worry for so long. How could he be so cruel to his sister—it's not like that Ryo Marufuji next to him, who had a screw loose that made him want to beat him up. The methods used on his best friend could never be used on his sister.
If he put on a Darkness mask and Asuka lost a little bit of life points, he felt like he would have to surrender.
How could he bear it?
"Ugh—this is really troublesome."
He stopped watching the Resurrection Tournament duels.
Anyway, the Resurrection Tournament players would eventually face Hikari, so he could wait until then to watch. Even if there were any wonderful duels this time, he could watch the videos later.
Perhaps it wasn't as interesting as watching live, but after all, he could still learn something.
He flipped through his phone, looking for something interesting on Bai Long ×, when suddenly, his eyes stopped, and he saw a strange message.
At a certain amusement park in 童野 City, there's an uncle dressed like a magician performing strange duels.
Strange duels?
He opened the link and watched the duel. In the picture, there was a middle-aged handsome man wearing a top hat and a magician's uniform, using a duel disk he had never seen before, greeting the surrounding audience.
The content of the duel didn't have much change or surprise. It was just summoning high-level monsters and then colliding with the opponent, but during the duel, the holographic images controlled by this entertainment duelist seemed to materialize, and the surrounding children gathered around, and when the children touched them, they could actually touch the holographic images.
He almost instinctively sat up straight.
A Darkness Duelist?!
No—
It doesn't seem like it.
He continued to watch and found that this duelist didn't do anything bad. Besides the physical images mingling with the children, he would also perform acrobatics such as swinging, jumping through fire hoops, and horse racing during the duel.
But now, a duelist with a higher "status" in society not only takes on all the work of the circus in front of the audience and children but can even conjure physical images, allowing the children to participate in it and even touch those strange little animals · — ·
This kind of fun is very pure and simple.
Children don't care so much. Seeing this kind of beautiful performance with their own eyes, they will instinctively feel excited.
This is just like people who like to play games seeing a full-dive game, very normal. When he takes amazing or magnificent photos, he can't help but feel instinctively happy.
"Oh—this is not a bad direction."
Fubuki's eyes lit up, and countless clouds seemed to rise in his head.
Asuka wearing a clown costume, Asuka wearing an idol costume, Asuka wearing a sailor suit, Asuka wearing a Dark Magician Girl uniform, each one is very cute, each one has an amazing weight—"Wow—interesting!"
His eyes were shining.
He wants to learn!
Entertainment dueling is so interesting!
After a few days of the Resurrection Tournament, the people who could win were basically decided.
Without the slightest surprise, it was still Jim.
This was also normal. As long as the audience who had been watching the Resurrection Tournament could clearly feel that there was a clear gap between the Resurrection Tournament players and the top eight players, and without Fubuki, Jim was obviously the most likely answer.
If Tenjoin Fubuki were there, everyone might still look forward to the duel between Fubuki and Jim, but now, everyone actually had expectations for the answer.
Thus, the "Top Eight Tournament" officially began.
The Top Eight Tournament was divided into "A" and "B" groups.
Group A included Jun Manjoume, Daichi Misawa, Johan Andersen, and the duelist of the Gravekeeper Clan.
Group B included Ryo Marufuji, the professional duelist Secret Viper, Hikari Tenjoin, and Jim.
The two groups rotated, one match in A, one match in B, to allow each duelist to have the opportunity to observe other opponents as much as possible.
It is worth mentioning that, perhaps to verify, or perhaps to start again.
It may also be to prove the gold content of the current "Top Eight". The first duel was unfolded by Hikari Tenjoin and Jim—that is, the last group duels first.
This duel was not easy for Hikari Tenjoin, but it was not a big accident. Last time, Jim's use of Tyrant Neptune did exceed Hikari Tenjoin's expectations, but without a convenient and quick "tribute" like Independent Nightingale, there were still very few monsters in Jim's deck suitable for Tyrant Neptune to devour.
And Hikari Tenjoin also did not use the Ancient Mechanical God this time, because Jim, who had been dueling all these days and did not have much time to replace new cards, lost to Hikari Tenjoin's momentum with all his strength. Hikari Tenjoin also once again obtained the brand new Fossil Fusion Monster "Mesozoic Fossil Knight Skull Knight".
In this way, Hikari Tenjoin had collected both of the Fossil series' graveyard effect Fossil Monsters.
"Oh, I didn't expect to lose again."
Jim scratched the back of his head and didn't feel discouraged.
Next semester, these Chief students will have to study at the main school, and there will be many opportunities then.
Moreover, honestly speaking, having already lost once, even if he climbed back up from the Resurrection Tournament, Jim didn't think he could definitely win against Hikari Tenjoin in a short period of time.
This was not lack of ambition, but there was no way.
Time is so limited.
In the Top Eight Tournament, Kaiba Corporation no longer divided up any rest halls. The top eight players could watch the games at the closest and best distance until the finals. Therefore, after Jim lost, he joined Hikari Tenjoin to watch the next duel: Jun Manjoume VS Daichi Misawa!
