Chapter 121 School starts

Lena was hiding in the cyber world. The Silent Magician was not professionally qualified and could not do anything to her. He could only glare at the innocent Xia Qing.

That look seemed to say, "As good as the duelist is, so good is the spirit."

September 1st is the first day for Chinese students to go to school.

After a vacation lasting more than two months, Xia Qing's class of freshmen finally entered the new campus.

Although in Xia Qing's eyes it was a new school, with new teachers and classmates, the teachers and students in the school were not unfamiliar with him at all.

The first provincial champion of No. 37 Middle School; the owner of the "Access Code Talker" that connects the four monsters; another rising star in Chu Province after Lu Yiming.

Xia Qing's game videos had been circulated countless times on the school's forums and chat groups. Before he even entered school, he had become a celebrity on campus.

Arriving at the school gate, Xia Qing attracted everyone's attention along the way.

"Which class are you in, junior? Do you want me to show you the way?"

"Can you sign your autograph for me?"

"Let's have a duel sometime. I want to experience what it feels like to be hit 5300 times with one punch."

Some students were confused and asked around quietly: "Who is this? Which star? The second generation?"

"Are you from our school? Even Natsu God doesn't know."

"I suspect he is an undercover agent from a rival school. I suggest that you drag him out and torture him severely."

The student quickly clarified: "I really don't know. I'm a senior in high school and have been in No. 37 Middle School for two years. I've never heard of this person."

Someone pointed to the red banner outside the school gate and said, "Look there, do you understand?"

The senior high school student looked up and saw that in addition to the welcome slogan, there was an additional banner at the school gate.

【Warmly welcome this year's Chucai Cup champion, Xia Qing, to enroll in our school. 】

He nodded suddenly: "I understand."

Xia Qing did not expect that his classmates in the new school would be so enthusiastic, and he was flattered by the banner at the school gate.

"Is this the surprise the principal mentioned?"

I didn't feel happy, I was just shocked.

"Make way, make way. We are from the student union. What are you doing here? Don't block the way."

Several student union officials appeared and dispersed the crowd gathered around Xia Qing.

"Thank you." Xia Qing thanked.

"It's okay. You are one of us. The president asked us to take good care of you."

"Do you want us to take you to class?" asked an officer.

"No need, I can do it myself."

He was assigned to Class 1 of Grade 1. When he found the classroom, most of the students had already arrived.

When they saw Xia Qing, the classmates cheered.

"It's really Xia Shen, he is assigned to the same class as us."

“I feel these three years of high school were worth it.”

"Boss, sit here, I have a seat." Someone immediately gave up his seat to Xia Qing.

"No need, I'll just find an empty seat." Xia Qing waved his hand and found a back seat by the window.

Back seat by the window, the king’s hometown.

The only downside to the designated seat for the anime hero is that it's a bit close to the trash can.

While there was still some time before class started, a student immediately challenged Xia Qing to a duel.

Seeing his classmates holding Axe decks with expectant looks in their eyes, Xia Qing really didn't know how to refuse.

"Okay." Most of these students will not leave unless they are satisfied.

Silver bug, start.

Because of the desks used, the duel went very quickly.

"I summoned Labrinth with Great Welcome and returned Trion.

"Activate the effect of 'Labyrinth' to destroy a card in your hand."

The opponent boy's hand holding the cards trembled, and he looked at Xia Qing blankly as he walked forward, allowing his cards to be taken away.

Fortunately, after only two games, no one was willing to duel with Xia Qing. "Xia Qing, can you change to a more sunny deck? Like the one you used in the competition?"

"Sorry, this is all I brought today."

Xia Qing started to lie with his eyes open.

He can't even defeat the Insect Demon, but you still want him to use his main deck. He is really ignorant of his own limitations.

Of course, it was mainly the high enthusiasm of his classmates that did make him a little scared.

Only a deck like the Insect Fiend can suppress them.

The bell rang and a young woman wearing glasses walked into the classroom.

The other party introduced himself as the head teacher of Class 1, in charge of the weekly duel course.

"Just call me Teacher Huang."

She swept her eyes across the class and asked, "Who among you is Xia Qing? Come out with me."

Xia Qing stood up puzzled and followed the teacher to the corridor.

"Teacher, do you have something to ask me?"

Teacher Huang reminded him, "The principal will arrange for you to speak as a representative of the freshmen at the opening ceremony. You'd better prepare yourself."

"Ah?" Xia Qing opened his mouth wide. He was not prepared at all.

There was no other way, he could only ask Lena to write one for him temporarily.

"Aren't you AI? How come you are not even as good as chatGPT?" Xia Qing whispered to the terminal on his arm.

"What is GPT? I have no experience in this area, so I can only find an article for you online."

"That's fine, I'll modify it myself."

Not long after, he copied down a formulaic speech.

To be honest, as a viewer, Xia Qing used to hate this kind of meaningless clichés.

But now that he’s on stage, I can only say it’s awesome.

The main focus is on a sense of participation. He speaks whatever he wants and the others listen whatever they want.

If we choose to encourage students, if someone believes it and takes a set of Axe to pursue unrealistic career dreams, it will be completely misleading.

Professional duels are very cruel, you either have money or luck and talent.

Ordinary people who have nothing should just use the deck for fun. This is the reality of Blue Star.

On the playground, thousands of students listened to Xia Qing reading the script on the stage in boredom.

"I feel that Xia Shen's speech is a bit boring."

"I thought he was going to talk about dueling techniques."

On the stage, as Xia Qing finished her last sentence, "I hope everyone will become stronger in the new semester," the two student union hosts were the first to applaud, followed by warm applause from the audience.

If you don’t know, you would really think he speaks very well.

Campus life is just a change after all, and Xia Qing’s current top priority is the career assessment in half a month.

After the opening ceremony, he took the initiative to report the matter to his class teacher. As the matter was of great importance, the class teacher was unsure, so he took him to the principal.

Principal Wang almost knocked over his teacup and asked in surprise, "You are only fifteen years old this year? Are you going to play professional games at this age?"

Xia Qing frowned: "As far as I know, there should be no age limit for professional assessment. I even heard that someone passed the assessment at the age of twelve."

"That's true, but none of those people have succeeded," Principal Wang couldn't help but sigh. "Children of this age have not yet formed their values. It's not a good idea for them to be exposed to the professional world too early."

Today, Xia Qing is Principal Wang’s treasure, so naturally he doesn’t want him to make the same mistake again.

"Principal, I know all this, and I won't go astray."

Seeing Xia Qing's insistence, the principal had no choice but to agree: "Then I'll help you get a leave of absence. If you want to come back to study, you're always welcome here."

Xia Qing saw that the other party had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly said: "No need to suspend school, I am just like other students, I will just take the exam normally."

"Then can you keep up with the progress?" The principal widened his eyes in surprise.

"It's okay. I don't have competitions every day. I will study at home in my free time."

He had only attended high school once in his previous life, and now he could take this opportunity to skip the boring high school life.
