Chapter 57
The Seahorse Paradise Qualification Selection

A few days later.

Because of Ed's provocative statement, the ordinary morning program, in an instant, caused a nationwide stir.

Whether it was in newspapers or other talk shows.

The topic of "Who exactly is Jaden Yuki" was being hyped up very high.

"So, Mr. Musashi, as a duel master, what do you think of the boy named 'Jaden Yuki' that Mr. Ed mentioned?"

"Jaden Yuki, if you're talking about rookies, he is indeed a good rising star, but among all the professional players, he is only considered average."

"Mr. Musashi seems determined to win this professional league."

"Humph, that's right! In this professional league, whether it's that kid Jaden Yuki, or that arrogant Ed Phoenix, they will all lose to me, hahahaha."

......

Looking at the man on TV, who resembled Dragon Ball's Mr. Satan with his explosive hairstyle and bushy beard.

Jaden Yuki rolled his eyes and manually changed the channel.

"Boring."

Supporting his face with his hand, Jaden Yuki muttered softly.

With Ed's statement being fermented, more and more people started to use it to hype themselves up.

On TV, in any talk show, you could see signs like 'Professional Players Calling Out Jaden Yuki, Ed' everywhere.

For the sake of ratings and attention, these program hosts and professional players really went to any lengths.

Jaden Yuki felt numb.

He changed channels a few times, and Jaden Yuki happened to see a program that was currently conducting an online duel.

With nothing to do, Jaden Yuki watched while eating chocolate and crossing his legs.

"Hmm, Beast Warrior deck, against an Angel-type deck..."

"It's actually Valkyries, a pretty rare deck..."

"The opponent Normal Summons a Minosaur? Starting with equipping United We Stand?"

"Tsk tsk tsk... Facing the mighty Minosaur, the Valkyries have already given up resistance..."

"It's too bad, this is like watching an 18+ story."

"It's the last draw, kid."

"Oh, a god draw, the game's over."

Looking at the ups and downs of the battle on TV, Jaden Yuki clicked his tongue and shook his head in regret.

Most people in this era have rather monotonous decks.

It's a bit depressing that so few people can break through this kind of simple deck that focuses on stacking attack power.

"You have time to watch a boring duel here, it's better to go and complete the registration."

Just as Jaden Yuki felt regretful, Yubel's voice, cold, appeared in his ear.

Jaden Yuki was taken aback, and only then did he remember.

At 3 pm, he had to go to Kaiba Land in Domino City to participate in the professional league's qualification selection.

In the professional league, registered professional players can participate directly.

But unregistered ordinary players have to go through qualification selection.

"Good thing there's still time..."

Taking a glance at the time, Jaden Yuki sighed in relief.

"It's only an hour or two from here to Domino City, it should be easy."

He changed into his usual red casual clothes and prepared his deck.

Jaden Yuki put on his shoes and went out of the house.

However, when he arrived at the bus stop and saw the crowd of people waiting in line, Jaden Yuki was stunned for a moment.

"Humph, it's peak traffic now, are you sure you can make it?"

Yubel, arms crossed, smiled slightly beside Jaden Yuki.

Jaden Yuki glanced at this guy who stood there and talked nonsense.

Then, he turned around and went back home, dragging a dirt bike out of the garage.

He got on the motorcycle, put on his helmet, and Jaden Yuki turned the throttle.

"Humph, if you get caught without a driver's license, your professional career will be over, right?"

Yubel laughed.

Jaden Yuki rolled his eyes at Yubel.

Then, amidst the roar of the engine, he disappeared into the road in a flash.

......

One hour later.

Domino City.

Kaiba Land.

Just as Jaden Yuki had imagined.

Kaiba Land today was crowded with people.

Various duelists gathered here, each dressed brightly, waiting for the professional league qualification review.

Parking the motorcycle in a hidden spot.

Jaden Yuki put on his Duel Disk and walked into Kaiba Land.

"Hello, welcome to Kaiba Land, please show your Duelist's ID." The receptionist at the entrance of Kaiba Land smiled and bowed to Jaden Yuki.

He took out his Duelist's ID and handed it to the receptionist. The receptionist took a look and immediately showed a hint of surprise.

"Jaden Yuki... right?"

And...

Looking at the seemingly insignificant [KC] logo in the lower right corner of the Duel ID.

This means that this Duel ID was personally approved by the upper management of Kaiba Corporation, an 'absolute pass'.

This kid, is there some kind of connection with President Kaiba?

The receptionist was surprised in her heart, but still showed her high business ability.

"Welcome to Kaiba Land, please keep your ID card safe. The professional league qualification selection will begin in half an hour, please gather at Hall 1."

Returning the ID to Jaden Yuki, the receptionist smiled and bowed.

Jaden Yuki nodded and walked towards the location of Hall 1.

"Oh, I didn't expect the rising star Jaden Yuki to be just a kid of ten or twelve years old." The receptionist looked at Jaden Yuki's receding figure and sighed softly.

Just as she was thinking, another man walked in from outside Kaiba Land.

"Sir, please show your Duelist's ID." The receptionist immediately smiled and said.

"Huh? Do I need that thing to participate in the selection?" The man in a green jacket, with a slightly darker complexion and blonde hair, showed a surprised expression.

"That, I was invited, so can you make an exception and let me in..." The man scratched his head awkwardly, with a slightly comical gesture of putting his hands together, and said with a flattering smile.

"That... according to the rules..." The receptionist sweated on her forehead.

"Joey, I told you, you need to be prepared before you go out... Don't make it difficult for others, just go back and get it."

A voice rang out from behind the blonde man.

In the astonished eyes of the other duelists around, a man with black and red hair, with a golden fringe on his forehead, walked towards them with a gentle smile.
