Tokiomi was still a little uncomfortable with suddenly being so traditional Japanese... and matching the girl's original style of painting.
Ed: "Ah...that's no problem."
"Although I feel that the atmosphere here is more suitable for traditional Japanese tea... thank you anyway." Max also nodded, then turned to Tokiomi and asked: "Where is Mr. Tosaka?"
When he was still a student of Duel Academy, Max was once a student of Tokiomi Tohsaka - Tokiomi was not the dean of Osiris Red at that time - even though he is now the king of duels, he looks better to the outside world than before. The professor was much smarter, but in Max's heart, the image of Tokiomi Tosaka was still unshakable.
"Huh? Are you talking about me?" Tokiomi PAPA was stunned, frowning slightly at Kuang San who looked like he was enjoying the show.
[Besides those eyes, this temperament is too big for Nadeshiko... Is this really Kurumi? Don't you have any bad ideas? 】 Tokiomi thought this, and planned to be more vigilant next time.
Although it is said that Kuang San cannot do anything harmful to him, it is very common for him to be teased by her. Before Li Zheng Shenyin, he once said that although Kuang San rarely talks, he seems to be very... It is a mystery, but no matter what bad idea it is, it will be kept in the stomach and not revealed until the last moment.
By the way, this guy also said that this setting is very suitable for pantyhose.
Thinking of this, Tokiomi suddenly felt a little embarrassed...
"Ahem, forget it, I'll have a drink too." After coughing to cover up his embarrassment, Tokiomi PAPA still ordered the same drink - there was no other drink to order now anyway.
"Okay, wait a moment." The girl with strange eyes went to make tea. After Kurumi left, Tokiomi Tosaka in a red suit smiled elegantly at Max and said, "Well, Atlas, and Phoenix, I won't beat around the bush - as the 'fastest and fastest' The strongest dueling king, and the 'Lü Bu of European young duelists', do you have any plans to take a further step on this road?"
Ed was stunned, not knowing what Tokiomi was planning.
When Max on the side heard the word "fastest and strongest", he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, "Are you trying to confuse me? Master Tohsaka?"
"Have some confidence in yourself." Tokiomi PAPA said elegantly: "You have to know that in you, you have all of Hongye, Lan and Aoko."
"These are all in the past tense..." Max shook his head, with a wry smile on his face: "And, as one of the few people who have come into contact with the second-generation Duel King, you should also know, right? How big is the gap between Dongfeng Guihui and me - —Although we are both duel kings, I really can't afford the title of 'fastest and strongest'."
The "fastest and strongest" duel king.
This title has been with Max since his debut - of course, the young man will always smile helplessly every time he hears this comment.
Because this is nothing more than a propaganda slogan for him by the American media, and it cannot be taken seriously - the dueling community in the United States has been in a very weak state for a long time, and it really needs "heroes" like himself to boost morale.
In addition, Max uses the "Elemental Hero" deck that suits American aesthetics, so for him, the American media is ordered to: "Blow to death"...
As for his true strength...
"I am definitely not the strongest. I should even be the weakest among the duel kings." At this time, the crazy threesome had already brewed the black tea, and then Max picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying, "Good tea. !Although I’m not the strongest, I might be able to humbly call myself ‘the fastest’.”
Although this young duel king believes that he still has a lot to learn and his strength is far from enough, he has been a duel king for more than a year, and he still has some arrogance - even in the eyes of those who know him well. , this guy is just a foodie plus
Among the rounds counted by good people to win the duel king, Muto Yugi has the longest round, with 13.09 rounds, followed by Yuan Xiaobai, with 11.76 rounds. Although Dongfeng Guhui seems to be the most uncontested, his dueling style is... He was the most aggressive among his previous Duel Kings, with an average number of rounds of 8.6...
Max Atlas, on the other hand, can end a duel with victory in an average of 5.7 rounds - the "Elemental Hero Absolute Zero" and "Masked Hero" have the destructive power to destroy the world. "Sour water" contributed a lot to this data.
"You're right." Regarding the fact that Max denied being "the strongest" but not "the fastest", Tokiomi did not refute, but nodded sternly: "These are just the attributes given by the media. It's just a 'setting'. Just like before today, everyone regarded DD as a representative of hard-working people - every time he lost to a powerful opponent, the media reported it as if those powerful duelists were using It’s like bullying him with his talent.”
Ed on the side rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment - to be honest, before today, he had always regarded DD as his benefactor and idol... In other words, he was the kind of person Tokiomi said who thought those duels The kings are all using their talents to bully DD people.
But everyone knows that no one can get that far with talent alone.
At this time, in order to cover up his embarrassment, Ed drank some black tea, but unexpectedly found that this cup of black tea was really delicious.
After seeing both Max and Ed drink the black tea, Kurumi, who was sitting steadily next to Tokiomi, showed an imperceptible smile - the reason why it was said to be imperceptible was because she was smiling almost the whole time, which was difficult to detect. Find out how her expression is different at this moment than usual.
Tokiomi Tohsaka, the only person present who could notice this, was looking in the direction of Max and Ed, and did not notice the change in Kurumi's expression.
"However, no matter how much you think, Max, that you are not strong enough, you still have to admit one thing." Tokiomi crossed his hands and placed them on his chin, just like the legendary Commander Ikari: "Then Judging from your current strength, if you want to continue to improve, it will be almost impossible to use 'conventional means'."
"It's almost impossible to use 'conventional means'?" Max reread Tokiomi's words and was a little confused: "Master, what do you mean?"
"To be honest, your judgment is correct. The reason why the several duelist kings before you are better than you is because of their respective 'adventures'." Tokiomi said bachelorly: "And to be honest, , it really surprises me that you, an 'ordinary person', can break out of the siege - I don't even know if this is the so-called 'bond' power."
"Master, if you want to talk about 'adventures', I have them too!" Seemingly dissatisfied with Tokiomi's words, Max snapped his fingers, and then the figures of Absolute Zero, Red Lotus Dragon and Nether Girl flashed behind him. But, "I am also a duelist recognized by the duel elves!"
"This level is not enough. You need to see a new world." Tokiomi then looked at Ed and said, "As for you, Phoenix, it's because of your performance today that it opened our eyes - you actually You really dare to stand up at that time, so we plan to give you a chance.”
"An opportunity?" Ed held his breath - he knew the next words would be crucial.
"I think you need to enter a place called Veins... um?"
Tokiomi was just halfway through talking when he realized that Ed and Max... suddenly fell asleep?
Yes, I suddenly fell asleep on the table without any warning...
