Watching Joey being dragged away, Jaden Yuki shook his head, putting Joey out of his mind.
While it was certainly interesting to see characters from the manga and anime appear one by one in this world.
The trajectories of the two, after all, were separated.
Jaden Yuki wouldn't idly involve himself in a relationship that didn't originally belong to him.
After watching duels for a while.
Jaden Yuki also felt a bit bored.
He checked the time, preparing to leave KaibaLand and go home to rest.
However, just as he turned to leave and took a few steps, he saw several tall men in black suits and black sunglasses surrounding him.
Yubel's phantom appeared beside Jaden Yuki.
Between her green and red eyes, a dangerous light flickered.
Jaden Yuki raised his hand, signaling Yubel to calm down.
Then he asked, "You're from Kaiba Corporation, right?"
"What do you want with me?"
Jaden identified them by the KC logo on their uniform chests.
If Jaden Yuki wasn't mistaken.
The leading man in sunglasses should be Roland, Seto Kaiba's confidant, right?
Roland stepped forward and bowed slightly to Jaden Yuki.
"Jaden Yuki..."
He whispered something into Jaden Yuki's ear.
Jaden Yuki's expression changed slightly, then he revealed a faint smile.
Yubel, seeing Jaden Yuki's change in expression, also gradually dissipated the hostility in her eyes.
"It seems... something good has happened."
Yubel floated with her arms crossed beside Jaden Yuki, watching Roland and the others leave.
"Yes, I can have a good duel."
"Isn't this a good thing for me?"
Jaden Yuki chuckled.
...
Outside KaibaLand.
"Ouch!"
Joey was carried and thrown out by a group of security guards, landing on his backside with a heartbreaking scream.
"That hurts! Do you have to be so rough, you guys..."
Clutching his backside, Joey stood up from the ground, his face full of resentment towards the departing security guards.
But there was nothing he could do.
After all, he had indeed forgotten to bring his duelist ID in the first place.
Then, on the way back to get his ID, he was stuck in traffic and was late.
According to the rules, Kaiba Corporation's handling wasn't really a big problem.
But! He!
He was an old acquaintance here, wasn't he?
Did they really have to treat him like this?! Damn Kaiba...
Joey gritted his teeth, then took a deep breath and straightened his collar.
"Forget it. I'll just come back next year."
"Anyway, as long as I want to qualify as a professional duelist, it won't be that hard."
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Joey comforted himself.
However, recalling the days he had spent striving for professional duelist qualification over the past few years, Joey felt a little unwilling.
He always felt... like fate was targeting him.
Why did bad things always happen to him?
Even though his luck was so good when he dueled...
As he was thinking, Joey looked up and suddenly found himself surrounded by several men in black suits and sunglasses.
Joey subconsciously made way.
However, the men remained motionless, just staring at Joey.
"Huh? You guys... are you looking for me?"
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Joey's forehead. He took a step back.
Without a word, the men seized Joey and began walking towards KaibaLand.
"Hey! You guys!"
"Are you kidnapping me!"
"Hey!!!"
...
Duel Arena 2.
As the lift platform ascended.
Joey, wearing a Duel Disk, appeared on the dueling stage with a bewildered look.
He turned his head and saw the familiar 'scowling face' on the monitor in the center of the hall, standing under the giant KC logo.
Seto Kaiba!
Seeing that face, Joey immediately became displeased.
He jumped up from the ground, waving his fists, and glared at the man on the screen: "Hey! Kaiba! What do you mean by this?!"
On the electronic screen.
Seto Kaiba stood with his arms crossed, his gaze still sharp and serious, staring at Joey on the dueling stage.
"Hmph, Joey, I heard you missed the professional duelist qualification assessment again."
"Seeing how pathetic you are, I've specially arranged this duel."
"Win this duel, and I'll make an exception and allow a mediocrity like you to become a professional duelist."
Tch, this arrogant attitude...
I really want to drag him out of the screen and beat him up!
Joey's mouth twitched, his teeth grinding.
But...
Becoming a professional duelist...
The displeasure in Joey's heart was quickly washed away by these words.
"Alright, as long as I win this duel, right? Come on, let's start quickly!"
Waving his arms, Joey looked at the other side of the field with a determined fighting spirit.
Although not a professional duelist, Joey had participated in countless tournaments, big and small. He had seen all kinds of duelists and was naturally confident in his own dueling skill.
He believed that no matter who his opponent was, he could defeat them with his years of dueling experience!
"Hmph..."
Seto Kaiba crossed his arms and sneered.
Soon, the opposite stage also rose.
As the dust dispersed.
A young boy's figure gradually emerged from it.
A young boy in a red jacket, wearing Kaiba Corporation's new Duel Disk, looking slightly naive, appeared in Joey's line of sight.
Joey froze for a moment.
Then he looked left and right.
After confirming that it was just this young boy, he looked at the screen with a suspicious expression.
"Hey, Kaiba... are you looking down on me? What kind of joke is it to have a kid duel me?!" Joey shouted in displeasure.
"Hmph." Kaiba's lips subtly curled upward. "Isn't that better? Dueling a kid, and you can get the professional duelist qualification you've always dreamed of."
"Tch... Kaiba, you bastard."
Joey clenched his fists and turned to look at the young boy in front of him.
However, although he looked angry on the outside.
Inside, Joey was already clenching his fists and secretly chuckling.
Alright!
This kind of kid as an opponent? It looks like I'm guaranteed to win.
