Chapter 91 Making Friends Through Duels

【Misawa, LP 0】

With his health reduced to zero, Misawa lay on his back, staring at the ceiling of the venue, as if he had been thinking about life for a while.

He reflected on his preparations for this duel these days, wondering if he had done anything wrong, if there was something wrong with his thinking, or something else.
But the more I think about it, the more I feel that it is not the case.

If we must say what the biggest mistake he made was, it must be that people should not duel with dogs.

Misawa is not the kind of person who is afraid of failure. If he duels with Judai, even if he loses, he will still enjoy the duel. And he will continue to work hard, quickly cheer up, and study new countermeasures to prepare for the next counterattack.

He did not give up the idea of ​​working hard to study and get back at the front in the future, but that was more out of the dignity and tenacity of a duelist. But when he thought about the situation when he was fighting with his blood boiling and summoned the trump card to decide the outcome, but ended up slashing the "warrior from another dimension" with his sword, he immediately felt that he didn't want to touch the cards for the next few days.
If he had a choice, he would rather be kicked to death by the Flame Winged Man.

The practical exam was still going on, but the remaining duel had lost much of its popularity and attention. Even long after the two men had left the field, everyone was still reminiscing about the game.

The freshmen in Huang Dormitory felt mixed emotions. This duel not only officially decided who would be the absolute champion of Huang Dormitory this year, but also symbolized the fall of Sanze, the last "anti-yin fighter" who was highly expected by the entire Huang Dormitory.

This was a landmark defeat, symbolizing that this year's La-Huang was heading further and further into the endless dark abyss.
Not everyone in the Blue and Red dormitories recognized You Xuan yet. But the freshmen who happened to see this duel all showed an expression of "I don't understand but I'm shocked", wondering if the ace of the Yellow dormitories this year is so powerful?

But You Xuan felt good about himself.

If you ask him, he thinks he is the orthodox Sun God. Who doesn't know that the user of the Duel City Lila Winged Dragon was the legendary Malik?
So how did Mr. Ma play his cards?

Aren’t they all some hellish combo of the lava demon interrogating the wheel, and all kinds of happy duels that make people kimoji?

Then our Huang Xuelu, as the descendant of the Sun God, carries forward this traditional idea and insists on using duels to make people feel proud. Isn't this the orthodoxy of the Sun God?
After watching the entire actual combat process, Principal Samejima nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he was right. This year's student You Xuan is indeed a talent. Given time, when he leaves the academy and enters the duel world, he will surely become a top figure.
Manjōme, who had just finished watching the duel, sat back in his seat with a satisfied look on his face.

That’s right, this is the taste we want.

Although this Fujiki Yugen was hateful, he could not forgive him for losing easily to anyone other than himself.

At this time, I heard my younger brother A whispered, "Brother, you look so happy, even though you lost the test today."

Younger Brother B: "Shh~ Keep your voice down, don't let Big Brother hear."

Wanzhang's smiling face disappeared immediately.

Then he unconsciously clenched his fists again.

"The damn Yuujo Judai is also unforgivable!" Wanzhang gritted his teeth.

A hell dog and a digging dog, they were equally hateful in his eyes.

The two younger brothers looked at each other and dared not say a word.

But they all had a feeling that Big Brother would have a hard time in the next three years.
After the interim test was over, You Xuan successfully received a new wave of credit rewards.

According to the agreement with Professor Chronos, Judai could be promoted to the Yellow Dormitory in advance after winning the Manjome. But Judai gave up this opportunity on his own initiative.

"Fiery red! Passionate red! This is my color. How could I give it up?"

That's what the person involved said. But this is also expected. After all, in the original work, Judai had countless opportunities to leave the Red Dormitory if he wanted to, but he chose to stay.

Judai-san might be the only unique student in the history of Osiris Red who truly loves this dormitory.

Starting from the new week, the card-making course that You Xuan had been longing for finally started.

The Duel Academy is dedicated to cultivating talents in all aspects of the duel field, not just those who can play cards. Hayato, a koala in the first-year dormitory of the Tenth Generation, was held back for many years and had the worst grades. In the end, he chose to give up the path of a duelist and became a card maker.

Therefore, the college also attaches great importance to the cultivation of these related skills.

The course naturally starts from the most basic. The first few classes are all theoretical explanations, and then it is the practical operation starting from "copying".

That is to say, before designing new cards by themselves, the first step for beginners is always imitation, that is, trying to copy some existing cards.

Only after you have become familiar with the card-making process through countless replications can you start talking about your own innovations.

And copying a card is not necessarily easier than creating the original. Some cards are easy to copy, such as some common magic traps with weak effects and little use, which are the easiest to succeed, and are usually arranged for students to practice.

But the more powerful the card - especially the monster card - the more difficult it is to copy, which is why many well-known monsters in the world are unique.

After the card-making course started, You Xuan would go to the teacher at Daitokuji Temple every now and then, often asking some design-related questions.

Soon You Xuan found that his guess was right. Although Daitokuji's specialty was alchemy, he was also good at ordinary card design. Or maybe the connection between alchemy and card making was more than he had revealed before.

After this happened many times, Daitokuji simply opened the alchemy laboratory assigned to him by the academy to Youxuan - Daitokuji was usually slacking off and hardly used it anyway.

Although the teacher at Daitokuji Temple is usually very lazy and never cares about absences and absenteeism in class, after all, there is no teacher who doesn't like good students.

Daitokuji would slowly begin to tell him, intentionally or unintentionally, some things that were not normally taught in class. Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, he would personally demonstrate the operation to him, or stand beside him, petting the cat and correcting his irregularities in operation.

At the same time, You Xuan also did not miss a day of card drawing training. But to be honest, the more he practiced, the more he envied a certain jellyfish head. This person basically skipped classes except for the first class and never practiced. However, even so, he could still draw more cards than anyone else.

I can only say that the natural card body is so terrifying.
Not to mention actual card playing, but after coming to the academy he could clearly feel that in terms of card drawing level alone, the students of the academy were truly elite compared to most of the duelists he met before he came in.

At least in the classroom, regardless of the actual combat level, You Xuan estimated that his level was probably just above average among his classmates. In other words, if everyone used a mirror deck of Axe Kings with all Mortal Bones to fight each other, he would probably not be able to defeat many students.

But it's not a big problem. You Xuan has a very calm mentality and is well aware of the principle of practicing more when you are new. He has only been practicing for a short time now, and there is a lot of room for improvement if he practices more and plays more in the future.

For example, the Duel Club seems to be organizing some kind of exchange and competition for the new members, which sounds pretty good.

By the way, it seems that Manjome-san has also joined the duel club. If everything goes well, there might be a second battle with Manjome-san.

Not only is it a good practice opportunity, but it also allows you to make friends with more freshmen faster.

Then there is no way he would have missed it.

　I accidentally got the update time wrong yesterday, and then I saw many comments from book friends saying that they thought noon would be a better update time.

　　So let's try changing the update time to noon :)
