"Someone attacked Pegasus in the Castle and gouged out his Left Eye." Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Hayato's gaze swept across the few people around the Round Table. "That person is very likely among us."
As he spoke, Hayato shifted his gaze to Yugi's face, who was sitting to his Right Hand side.
Sensing Hayato's gaze, Yugi couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Hayato, you know me. I would never do something that hurts others."
"I'm usually just passive about it."
Although he would use Dark Game to punish others, that was the Pharaoh doing it, and it was indeed passive. What Dark Yugi did has nothing to do with my pure and kind Yugi Mutou, right?
Hayato nodded and looked at Bakura, who was sitting to Yugi's right.
"Hayato, you know me. With my habits, how could I possibly do something so bloody?"
Hmm, Little Angel Bakura, although you're highly suspicious, who can blame you when you're so cute? I'll believe you for now.
"Hayato, you know me," Joey Wheeler said hastily before Hayato even looked at him, "Although I still really want to teach Pegasus a lesson, I absolutely couldn't do something like gouging out eyes."
Honda, sitting next to Joey Wheeler, said, "Hayato, you know me. Although I usually act like a Delinquent,"
"Just act like one?"
"Don't interrupt." Ignoring Joey Wheeler's Rant, Tristan continued, "Although I look like... okay, I am a Delinquent, but I've completely turned over a new leaf and changed my ways. I wouldn't do something like that."
You call that turning over a new leaf? You just have a crush on Joey Wheeler's sister and want to woo her.
Muttering a Rant inwardly, Hayato looked at Samejima, who was sitting to his Left Hand side.
"Hayato, don't look at me. You know me." Samejima rubbed the hair on his Back of Head. "If it were really me, it wouldn't be his Left Eye that was gouged out, it would be his Deck."
"Good grief, I finally understand." Hayato leaned back in his chair in a tactical retreat. "Every single one of you has unique skills."
A Stand-in, a Schemer, a Gambling Fiend, a Delinquent, and a Dueling Obsessed. None of them are simple.
Just then, the Room door behind them was pushed open, and the Old Butler walked in, his face full of worry: "Mr. Hayato."
"Mr. Gates, how is Pegasus doing?"
"It's not Gates, it's Croquet." The Old Butler first corrected Hayato's address for him, then reported, "We have already given Master Pegasus's wound simple medical treatment. The medical helicopter has just picked him up and taken him to the Hospital closest to the Island."
"Because Master Pegasus's current condition is not very good, I apologize, but he is unable to sign the share transfer agreement with the two of you. Also, Mr. Hayato, before Master Pegasus left the Island, he instructed me to give you this Card as compensation for the delayed delivery of the Duel Bet."
Looking at a Card in the box the Old Butler held up, Hayato picked it up in confusion: "What is this Card?"
The Card in Hayato's hand was printed with the Industrial Illusions LOGO—a pair of hands holding a Duel Monsters Card showing its back—and the words "Card Power". Mr. Croquet explained: "As the publishing company of Duel Monsters, Industrial Illusions' largest department is called the Card Design Department, which is specifically responsible for the design of Duel Monsters Cards."
"And this Card that Master Pegasus gave you holds the highest authority in the Card Design Department. It allows you to directly design and manufacture new Cards without Master Pegasus's permission."
Hayato raised an eyebrow: "So, as long as I have this Card, I can print Cards for myself?"
The Old Butler explained further. Only then did Hayato understand the situation. Although on the surface, the production of Duel Monsters Cards seemed not much different from a printing factory printing playing Cards, in reality, there were many restrictions.
The origin of Duel Monsters goes back to Ancient Egypt three thousand years ago. At that time, Duel Monsters also existed, but they were not printed on paper Cards but on heavy Tablets, existing as important Rituals. After his trip to Egypt, Pegasus brought back to America not only the Millennium Eye from his Left Eye but also Inspiration from countless Tablet Monsters.
Using the Monsters on the Tablets as prototypes, Pegasus designed a large number of Duel Monsters. From **Death Stalker**, **Millennium Shield**, to **Dark Magician**, **Blue-Eyes White Dragon**, all had their respective Tablets as prototypes. And during the design process, Pegasus discovered a miraculous thing—that within those Tablets that had endured thousands of years of wind and frost, there actually existed a certain Spirituality!
Cards with Spirituality could be easily manufactured by Pegasus. For example, the **Dark Magician** and **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** surrounding the Pharaoh on the Tablet excavated from a certain Pharaoh's Tomb could be easily manufactured into Cards by Pegasus using them as prototypes, but at the same time, he would be bound by a certain "Intuition" from the unseen.
Pegasus, who possessed the Millennium Eye, knew that supernatural Power truly existed in the world, after all, he himself could freely read others' Inner Thoughts. Following the guidance of his Intuition, Pegasus placed many restrictions on the Cards he manufactured—**Exodia**, which could end a Duel in one blow, was split into five parts; the powerful **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** only had four copies; the strongest Mage, **Dark Magician**, required additional Cards to perform its Magic, and so on.
Pegasus manufactured the Tablets into Cards, he discovered that the same "Spirituality" also existed within the Cards. He named them "Spirit". When they resided in the Tablets, they were Tablet Spirits. Now that their dwelling place had moved into the Cards, that was called "Card Spirits".
Although Hayato obtained the authority to design and manufacture Cards, he could not arbitrarily create Cards without the Spirit's approval. If there was no Spirit Power residing within, the manufactured Card would just be a piece of waste paper. This dashed Hayato's original idea of printing himself a set of **Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring**, **Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit**, and **Effect Veiler**.
However, the Card he received wasn't completely useless. It's just Spirits, right? Hayato lacked many things, but he certainly didn't lack Card Spirits.
Although he had the System which allowed him to print Cards super conveniently anytime, anywhere, the System's "Miracles and Magic" weren't free and required Hayato to provide a large amount of DP Points. Although his DP Balance had recovered to over 2000+, it wasn't enough to buy any powerful Cards.
Since he could get Cards for free from Pegasus, how could Hayato miss this opportunity? Anyway, it just meant his Card Spirits would have to work a little harder.
In Hayato's Room, **Ojama Yellow** suddenly shivered, feeling as if it had been Targeted by something. Meanwhile, **Gaia The Fierce Knight** beside it remained silent, forcefully suppressing the sneeze it almost let out.
