"Hey Yugi! You can come, the air is clear!" Shouts Jonouchi across the square. His friends peek curiously around the corner of the wall around the schoolyard. At Jonouchi's call, the three break out of their cautious rigidity and quickly catch up with him. Anzu, Honda and Yugi look partly worried, partly relieved.
"Phew, what an effort!", Says Anzu, "But if we didn't sneak in secretly every day, we wouldn't be able to go to school at all." Won the tournament, every halfway capable duelist tries to challenge him. "" Who are you telling this, Honda, "says Jonouchi," These stupid sub-rivets have been besieging the main entrance of the school en masse, and have been for weeks. "
“But they must have gotten better slowly,” says Anzu, “After all, the whole thing is just a game.” “What does that mean?” Says Jonouchi, outraged, “Duelmonsteris not just a game. "Anzu looks at him crookedly:" Oh yes, you genius, what then? "Jonouchi proudly throws himself into the chest:" Well, very simple: It's the game with him I made it into the top four! I now belong to the world's top elite, don't forget that! "He grins all over his face. Anzu rolls his eyes.
"Nevertheless, Yugi is still the better. He came first!", Grins Honda maliciously. Jonouchi's demeanor immediately loses its enthusiasm. "Do you have to keep reminding me?" He growls. "Do you have to act like that all the time?" Honda replies. "Quite a big note for someone who is barely able to distinguish a magic card from a trap card," Jonouchi says challengingly, "But pissing off my sister and claiming to be the absolute overplayer." Honda blushes slightly.
"But you can see where something like that leads. Because of you, my sister almost lost her body back then, in this weird virtual reality of this imaginary little pants-shit Noah." Honda feels caught. “Do you have to keep pounding on it?” “Well, it's your own fault,” says Jonouchi cockily, “Don't always tear your own flap so wide!” “What, you have to say that!”, Honda says indignantly, “I do show you right away who's opening his mouth too wide! "He's about to pounce on his friend to give him a little rub, but Yugi intervenes. "Hey guys, calm down! We'd better go in, otherwise we'll miss even more classes than we already have."
"You're right!", Says Jonouchi patronizingly, "We don't want Honda to remain as stupid as it looks!" "That's what the right guy says!" Grumbled Honda, annoyed. "Can't you two kids even stop this silly bickering?" Asks Anzu, annoyed, "We should really go in, otherwise these weirdos in front of the main gate will still find out where we've gone.""You're right!", Jonouchi admits, "Not that Yugi couldn't defeat the guys with his left hand, but in that case the crowd will do it. However, if you pick a few good ones and defeat them, the others might lose the lust and pull away. "" Jonouchi you dumbass ", Anzu rebukes," Yugi has other problems at the moment than dueling with some image-addicted guys running along. If you remember there are still some secrets about these millennium objects it has to be solved. "
Yugi pensively looks down at his millennium puzzle hanging on a chain around his neck. That's right, he thinks, our main concern is this whole story about my puzzle and this old legend that the spirit that lives in it was once a pharaoh in ancient Egypt who saved the world from destruction 5000 years ago. If only we knew more about what happened then, or what kind of power is behind the Millennium Objects. But unfortunately he erased his memory back then to protect the world, at least that's what Ishizu Ishtar claimed and she comes from the family of the tomb guardians.
"Earth to Yugi!", Jonouchi pulls him out of his thoughts, "Are you dreaming with your eyes open, or what?" "No, it's okay!", Yugi replies, "I was just thinking." "You can also think at school ", smiles Jonouchi," Come on, let's go in, otherwise Anzu will have another fit! "" You will feel the fit on your own body, you idiot! ", Anzu grumbles as they strive for the front door.
"Sorry!", They suddenly hear a voice behind them, "You must be Yugi Muto." The four of them pause as if frozen. You are caught! They turn around slowly. A young woman stands in front of them and looks over at them in a friendly manner. She doesn't look like a new challenger.
The four of them exhale rather relieved. They eye the stranger for a moment, then she repeats: "You're Yugi Muto, am I not right?" Yugi takes a step forward: "Yes, I am. What do you want from me?" The woman smiles. "In principle nothing. But I was hoping to be able to do something for you." Yugi and his friends look at the woman in astonishment. "For me?", Yugi asks, "Why that? Who are you anyway?"
“Sorry, I haven't even introduced myself yet,” replies the woman, “Atsumi is my name,” she holds out her hand to Yugi, “I'm a scientist.” Yugi and his friends still look confused. Atsumi's gaze wanders down to Yugi's chest. "So, that's the legendary millennium puzzle," she says with a trace of curiosity in her voice. Yugi and his friends open their eyes. A little discomfort creeps into them.
"How do you know about it?" Asks Yugi, alarmed. The young woman shrugs off with a smile: "Take it easy! Don't worry, I don't want to take your puzzle away from you.It interests me only in a scientific sense, like the other six millennium objects, by the way. As far as I know, you already have four of them. "
"Just a moment!", Jonouchi bursts out, "How do you know that? I hope that you don’t have any awkward plans with these things. We’ve already had more of that than we would have liked." that I'm really only interested in these objects from a purely scientific point of view, "replies Atsumi.
"And how are we supposed to know that you are telling the truth?", Anzu now asks suspiciously, "After all, we don't know you. Don't blame us, but we have often had bad experiences with people who ... an were interested in the Millennium Objects. "
"Your caution is commendable, but fortunately completely superfluous!", Says the woman, "Recently a former work colleague asked me to contact you. You will know her. Her name is Ishizu Ishtar."
The four of them open their eyes in surprise. "What, Ishizu sent you?" Asks Yugi. "Quite right," confirms Atsumi, "She said that I could help Pharaoh shed some light on the secrets that are still in the dark for him. She told me that you were that Pharaoh, Yugi, and that I was should help you to discover the secret of the millennium objects. "
The Mystery of the Millennium Items, Yugi thinks, if we could learn more about these ancient Egyptian artifacts, then we are probably one step closer to solving the Pharaoh's mystery.
"I see it that way too!", Yugi hears the familiar voice inside. "Then maybe we should take this opportunity," says Yugi. "However, we still don't know if this woman means it honestly and who knows if she can help us at all", objects the spirit of the puzzle. "If Ishizu thought it was right to initiate her, then she can't be really bad," Yugi points out. "And if Ishizu hasn't sent her, how else does she know about the matter?" "There is something True to it", Yami agrees.
"I have a really stupid question", Jonouchi's voice interrupts the silent conversation, "If this Ishizu couldn't tell us anything more about these Egyptian things, even though she was one of these strange grave guardians, how do they want us then Besides ... ", he stands tall in front of her," it seems rather strange to me that you only appear here now. Ishizu could have sent you here right after the tournament. So how do you explain that ? "
The young woman is relatively unimpressed by this, although all eyes are on her now. "To answer your questions, I was away on business until recently, so she only recently reached me.As for your other question, I don't know much about ancient Egyptian legends, but our company has some of the most advanced techniques for examining artifacts of all kinds. If there is any scientific basis behind these millennium items ... our cyberspace can do it for you demonstrate!"
Apparently the four friends all think the same thing. As if from a mouth it comes: "Cyberspace?" "Of course", comes the answer, "Our company has one of the most advanced technologies in the field. An ideal medium to get an authentic picture of the hidden possibilities of artifacts to deliver. "
Only now does she seem to notice the astonished faces of the young people. “Is that any problem for you?” “Well ...”, says Anzu, but Jonouchi interrupts her: “There is no way my friend Yugi, or one of us, will climb into one of these cyber boxes again, that does not come in the bag! The last time we were stuck in such a virtual reality, I have no good memory. I have not yet forgotten what that crazy Noah did to us. He even wanted to steal our bodies to get in to get to reality and it is only thanks to Yugis and my outstanding dueling skills that he failed. "
"What does'not done ''?" Asks Honda, "I was a metal monkey for a while, remember?" "Oh, it doesn't make a big difference to you," says Jonouchi snippily. Honda sparkles angrily, but Jonouchi continues, "Anyway, you owe it to us that we got out of there safe and sound and I'm definitely not about to expose my friend to such a danger again, just at the word of some complete stranger . "
"Say, you have to be Jonouchi!", The young woman interrupts him, "You were second in the kingdom of duelists and you made fourth place at the Battelcity tournament, didn't you?" Jonouchi's eyes start to light up. "That's right, I'm Jonouchi, the top duel! Apparently I'm already something of a celebrity. I feel flattered that my reputation has risen so far ahead of me." Anzu rolls his eyes again: "Oh man, now he's turning full again! "
But the young woman is not deterred: "According to what I've heard, you have only just lost and
