Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

"Yes, going to the site for on-site investigation instead of relying solely on surveillance? It's a good idea to fill the blind spots in surveillance."

After making these comments, Druid glanced at Ghosh and began to speak to him sarcastically again.

"Unlike someone who never calms down and uses their brain to think about problems."

As for Ghosh, he drew inspiration from Soreva's words:

"That's right! I can go and investigate in person! That way, if I catch those guys trying to cheat, and they dare to disobey, I can rightfully teach them a lesson through a duel!"

With that thought in mind, Ghosh immediately ignored Druwa's sarcastic remarks and ran after the elevator.

"Then, I'll go to Xinyuan Garden and take a look at it on-site!"

Watching Ghosh disappear behind the elevator, Druva clenched his fists in anger:

"That idiot, just like that lazybones Soreva, he just ran off like that!"

Just now, Drew's fist almost caught up and smashed into Ghosh's head. If Kaito hadn't been there and she hadn't wanted to get a closer look at him, she probably would have done it.

As for Soreva himself, who had already left the monitoring room and arrived in the Heart Garden, he turned around and faced the direction of the Heart Tower, stretched out his finger, pressed it against his eyelids, and made a funny face:

"Omitted—No one really thinks I want to work seriously, right? That way, even if I'm slacking off in the Heart Garden, you won't be able to tell, will you?"

Turning his head, he raised his hand to shield his eyes and looked up at the sun high in the sky. Sorevadan immediately had an idea.

"Hmm... the sun is really strong, so let's decide on our first stop! Ice cream! Let's go buy some ice cream!"

however……

"Seriously, are you guys sure you're not here to rip me off?"

Looking at the few little ones surrounding him, Soreva immediately let out a complaint.

Hearing Soleva's complaint, Kotori, being a girl, instinctively felt a little embarrassed. However, Yuma and Tetsuo, two boys who were familiar with Soleva, shamelessly said:

"Uncle, we're already so familiar with each other, it's not a big deal for an adult like you to treat us kids to ice cream, is it?"

"It's really not a big deal anymore."

Just as he was about to say something more, the ice cream shop clerk's voice, "Your ice cream is ready!" instantly pulled Soreva over.

After receiving the ice cream from the clerk and distributing it to Yuma and the others, Soreva asked curiously:

"Hey, aren't you all still students? Don't you have to go to school these next few days?"

"go to school?"

Upon hearing Soleva's question, Yuma immediately tilted his head and gave Soleva an answer he hadn't expected.

"But our school is already on holiday."

"Have a holiday?"

Soreva was surprised to hear such an answer from Yuma. However, Tetsuo and Kotori nodded in agreement, which only deepened Soreva's confusion.

"A holiday at a time like this? Why...?"

He had only just asked "why," but Soreva already had a vague idea of ​​the answer, and when he did, cold sweat poured down his forehead:

"Boss, you didn't give him a day off just for WDC, did you?"

However, the matter-of-fact answer from Yuma and the others made Soreva involuntarily cover his face with his hands:

"Yes, many students and teachers at our school have signed up for WDC, so the school gave us a holiday. Moreover, I heard that even our school principal has signed up for WDC."

"Hmm? Uncle, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Covering her face, Soreva knew perfectly well that this was the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, so she should be able to understand the school's usual practice of giving students a holiday because of Duel Festival.

However, upon hearing Yuma and the others' answer, Soreva still felt a lump in his throat, something he had to say:

"Don't just give me a holiday like that! How can a child not study properly!"

As for Yuma, not knowing why Soreva had covered his face with his hands, he immediately took out the Heart Fragment, which served as proof of his WDC participation, and said to Soreva:

"Speaking of which, uncle, do you know what this Heart Fragment is used for?"

Glancing at the ruby ​​fragment in Yuma's hand, which appeared to be a ruby ​​shard but was probably just a plastic fragment or something similar, Soreva was about to speak when Iron Man also took out one and said:

"I have one too, but I don't know what it's for."

"Then don't interrupt."

With a sigh, Soreva held up a finger and said,

"One of its functions is as identification for participants. You all used it to enter the Heart Garden today, right? As for its second function..."

Glancing at the streets where the grand parade had already begun, Soreva smiled and said:

"Well, I don't need to reveal it, because someone will tell you soon."

During the parade, Yuma's friends, such as Takashi Todoroki and Neko, gathered around. And when the parade ended, everyone wearing the D-glasses could see Mr. Kokoro's image appear in the air.

"Duelmen gathered in Heart Garden City, I will now explain the rules of the Duel Carnival!"

As Mr. Xinyuan spoke, a map of Xinyuan City appeared beside him.

"The venue is for the entire Heart Garden City. During this period, the three days starting today will be the preliminary competition. Participants must accept duel challenges. Each of you possesses a Heart Fragment. Duelists who lose this will be disqualified from the competition."

To reach the finals, you must collect five Heart Fragments to complete the Red Heart event. Now, I declare the Duel Carnival officially open! Let the entire Heart Garden ignite with the burning spirit of you duelists!

HeartBurning!

As Mr. Xinyuan uttered his last words, his image instantly exploded into the WDC logo, announcing the official start of WDC.

Yuma, on the other hand, excitedly held up his heart fragment and said to Soreva:

"Uncle, you said you'd wait for me at WDC, was that what you meant? Well then, uncle, let's duel!"

Soreva was about to explain something when he heard Yuma's voice when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him and couldn't help but look back.

Then, Soreva saw a boy in a blue tracksuit rushing towards them, kicking a strangely colored soccer ball:

"Make way! Make way! I'll have my friend decide my first opponent!"

As he said this, the boy kicked the soccer ball, sending it hurtling straight toward Soreva and the others.

Chapter 362 The Promise to Fight Again and the Appearance of the Cheater

"Ok?"

Seeing the ball flying straight towards them, Soreva immediately moved his feet and blocked the ball with his chest.

"Hey! Don't kick a soccer ball in the street, you'll easily kick someone!"

While verbally reprimanding the boy who was carelessly kicking the ball in the crowd, Soreva's footwork was equally swift; with a knee strike, he sent the ball, which had begun to fall, flying high again.

"Now, I'm returning your friend to you, Tsubasa Ozora! Tiger Shot!"

As the ball fell again, Soreva's instep struck it hard, sending it flying straight back to its owner's forehead.

With a loud "thud," the boy in the tracksuit collided head-on with the soccer ball, and immediately fell to the ground, seeing stars. The soccer ball, its surface covered with various cards, landed beside him after it had been launched into the air.

"Uncle, is that person alright?"

Hearing the slightly frightened sound from Yuma beside him, Soreva immediately smiled and waved to Yuma, saying:

"Don't worry, that person will be fine. I held back, I didn't kick him to death. I'm not some real Hyuga Kojiro."

Consider this a lesson for that guy randomly kicking the ball at people on the street.”

"This, this is it."

Although he didn't know who Hyuga Kojiro was, Yuma breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing that the man was alright.

Immediately afterwards, Yuma saw Soreva speak again:

"Well then, Yuma, there's something else I need to tell you."

"what's up?"

Seeing Yuma's expectant gaze, Soleva smiled, shattering Yuma's hopes:

"I will not accept your challenge now."

"Hey! How could this be!?"

Upon receiving Soleva's refusal, Yuma's expression immediately fell, and he began to complain to Soleva with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Uncle, you promised to duel me at WDC, how could you go back on your word!"

"Roaming horse".

He pointed a finger at Yuma's forehead, and seeing Yuma's blank expression, Soleva immediately began to explain.

“Yuma, you need to understand that WDC doesn’t just have qualifying tournaments. As a staff member, I can use connections to get straight to the finals. So, there’s no rush for you to duel me right now.”

Upon hearing Soleva bluntly state that he could use connections, Yuma's face instantly contorted with disdain.

"Uncle, as a duelist, you don't want to duel, but instead try to get in through connections. I really misjudged you."

"You guy..."

Suppressing the urge to clench his fists and give Yuma's temples a sharp, piercing throbbing pain, Soleva immediately extended a second finger and pressed it against Yuma's forehead.

"Of course, if you want to duel with me as a staff member, that's not impossible. If you can defeat me, according to the rules, I can also apply for a Heart Fragment from the Heart Garden as your reward."

"real!?"

However, just as Yuma's face showed such joy, he heard Soleva's voice follow immediately:

"However, if you lose to me, then I'm sorry, you will also have to hand over a Heart Fragment as a price. Yuma, you need to think about it, if you challenge me now and lose, can you afford the price of this Heart Fragment?"

"This……"

Looking at the only Heart Fragment in his hand, Yuma hesitated for once. He understood Soleva's meaning: if he lost and lost this only Heart Fragment, he would also lose the qualification to continue participating in WDC.

Even the two girls, Little Bird and Little Cat, came up to persuade Yuma without prior arrangement:

"That's right, Yuma. If you duel with the old man now and lose, you'll be eliminated. It's better to duel with others first and get more Heart Fragments."

"That's right, that's right. If you collect more Heart Fragments and then duel, even if you lose, you won't be eliminated!"

Hearing their advice, Yuma immediately nodded:
