"Hey, that person... if I'm not mistaken."
"He wouldn't be the legendary duelist..."
"Yugi Muto?!"
Amidst the crowd, a small gasp erupted.
Yugi Muto.
The legendary King of Games, now a talented game designer cooperating with KaibaCorp to develop new games.
His appearance truly captivated the attention of all duelists present.
His height didn't seem particularly tall, and his gentle expression seemed to lack much sharpness.
But it was this steady aura that gave people the feeling that this person was absolutely unfathomable.
I want to duel him!
This thought flashed through almost everyone's mind.
However, from Yugi Muto's attire, it seemed he wasn't here to participate in this professional league's dueling selection.
Moreover, he didn't have his world-renowned deck attached to his waist.
From this, it was clear that the idea of dueling him would not be so easily achieved.
"Heh heh, Yugi is also a collaborating designer for KaibaCorp, right? Use your privilege to help me pull some strings, huh?" Joey chuckled, nudging Yugi playfully.
"Joey..." Yugi smiled wryly.
So many years had passed, and his friend was still exactly the same as before.
He clearly possessed the strength to become a professional duelist.
But for various reasons, he still hadn't received professional duelist certification.
However.
Joey had always been active in town-level tournaments and national-level tournaments.
Pegasus J. Crawford, CEO of Industrial Illusions, even stated directly that Joey was the "world's third strongest" duelist, after Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba.
This time, Joey Katsuya's goal in coming to KaibaLand was not to participate in the upcoming professional league qualification selection.
Instead, it was to obtain the "Professional Duelist Certification Selection" that he had always yearned for.
"Do you know the pain of being a powerhouse in the dueling world for so many years, yet never being certified as a professional?! That Kaiba guy definitely has a grudge against me!"
Joey gritted his teeth, complaining, the raging flames in his eyes as if they wanted to devour the entire KaibaLand.
"Uh..." The greeter was left speechless.
"Um, Mr. Muto... according to regulations, whether participating in the professional league qualification selection or the professional duelist certification selection, one must present their personal duelist certification. If not..."
The greeter still didn't dare to let people in privately. Although with Yugi Muto's authority, he could indeed open a back door for people.
But she couldn't do that...
"Indeed, Joey, why don't you go back and make another trip?" Yugi looked at Joey helplessly and said, "You wouldn't want to beg Kaiba or anything, would you?"
"Beg that guy? Dream on!"
Joey clenched his fist.
He glanced at the time and could only helplessly walk outside.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll just go back another time, alright!"
Watching Joey grumble as he left, Yugi and the greeter smiled helplessly at the same time.
"Speaking of which, is Kaiba here now?" After the chuckle, Yugi looked at the greeter and asked.
"Well... President Kaiba is currently in a confidential meeting with Mr. Pegasus. If Mr. Muto needs..."
The greeter took out her intercom, preparing to contact the higher-ups.
"Ah, no need. I'm only here to discuss 'Spherical Space' with him. Since he's busy, I'll just look around KaibaLand for a while."
Yugi Muto politely declined the greeter's help.
Spherical Space was a new battle game developed by Yugi Muto, as a game designer, in cooperation with Seto Kaiba in recent years.
Yugi Muto's purpose this time was also to discuss the specific planning of this game with Seto Kaiba.
But since Kaiba was busy, Yugi took the opportunity to observe the duelists in the league qualification selection, which he hadn't done in a long time.
"Alright, please enter, Mr. Muto."
The greeter stepped aside, respectfully inviting Yugi Muto to enter KaibaLand.
Watching Yugi Muto leave, many duelists around showed expressions of regret.
"What a shame. If only I had plucked up the courage and asked for an autograph just now..."
"He's clearly a very kind person, but when you get within ten meters of him, you can feel a terrifying pressure. Is this the King of Games?"
"It feels like he's possessed by a dueling spirit, truly terrifying..."
Amidst the conversations of the crowd.
Yugi Muto walked into KaibaLand and headed towards the various tech fields where duels were taking place.
"It's been a long time since I've observed Duel Monsters like this..."
Standing outside the glass window, looking at the duel fields divided into sections, Yugi sighed with emotion.
Since many years ago, when Yugi and Kaiba teamed up for their final battle against Diva.
Yugi Muto had put away his deck and became a professional game designer.
Until now, although he still paid attention to duels, he rarely dueled himself.
The future, after all, belonged to a new generation.
The old King of Games should also step aside and pass this title on to the next King of Games.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Yugi Muto's eyes moved.
In one of the divided fields.
He saw a tall figure standing there.
Red clothes, a cold expression.
And before him, towering, a mighty hero.
"That young man..."
Yugi Muto's gaze focused on that young man.
He could feel that the young man possessed an extremely terrifying power.
"Kuriboh, Kuriboh."
The spirit's voice sounded in Yugi Muto's ear.
He took out a card from his pocket.
Looking at the fluffy spirit on the card, Yugi Muto showed an astonished expression.
"Are you saying... you want to go to that young man's side?"
"Winged Kuriboh."
