Chapter Twenty-Nine: The clouds remain

"Suppression, is the watershed that distinguishes the strong from the weak, it is the sublimation of courage and heritage, a truly powerful duelist is absolutely impossible to suppress, even if you have only seen his counterattack, yes, the most beautiful and exciting is always the Jedi counterattack, but in my opinion it was just a flash in the pan...... It's like something rare can be cherished, isn't it? More victories in the environment are brought to us by suppression, which may make the game boring, boring, and not as good as counterattacking, but you must first understand that if you really decide to go the way of the competitive circle in the future, if you really want to rely on your talents to seek a future, there is only one requirement in front of you - victory! ”

It was a large lecture hall, and on the podium, Napoleon Malden was twisting his bucket waist and solemnly explaining the meaning of this suppressed school in the Blue Academy's curriculum.

“…… At this moment, I will teach you how great this idea of duel is, what it can bring you, and what you must learn...... I know you're tired of hearing that, but who told you to have a few new faces today, and perhaps I should choose a representative from among you to speak in my place, so that I can not only rest for a while, but also test whether his foundation is solid. ”

"Oh...... This fat man is here again. "Almost all the students sitting outside the first row of the classroom are mourning in their hearts, Professor Malden is in charge, but he is too strict! Fortunately, the half-theoretical, half-practical course of "Suppression" is quite interesting, they are required to constantly deal with the endgame in the course of learning, using "suppression" and "blocking" means to end the game, during which the AI will continue to struggle to the death to resist, and the high-level AI even has its own "magic pumping" function, which is very challenging for students - it would be better if its professors could be more relaxed.

Few people could fully remember the troublesome theoretical knowledge and standard names, even if they were students of the Blue Academy, and almost everyone looked away as that gaze swept over, with the exception of a few.

"Yusuke Fujiwara, can you please take on this task, I think as one of the best students in the Blue Academy, you will definitely not let me down." Malden was satisfied that he did not look away like the others, and rightfully regarded it as a sign of confidence.

"Oh...... Yes? Fujiwara Yusuke didn't expect his name to be clicked at all, his calm just now was not confident, but in a daze, and after reacting instantly, he froze for a second - because he was distracted, he didn't hear what kind of task it was, how to answer now?

"The workbook I did last weekend, the penultimate question." Blowing snow in the heavenly courtyard sitting on the side played the role of a "buddy" at this time, he put up his textbook to cover his face, and then turned his head to give a hint to Yusuke Fujiwara.

After class, the two walked together to the mixed dining room located on the second floor of the main teaching building.

At this time, it was lunch time, and although there were also cafeterias in the dormitories of the four inner courtyards, the school decided that eating separately might increase the estrangement between students and cause internal conflicts, so it was stipulated that lunch and dinner for students who had classes in the morning and afternoon must be conducted in the main teaching.

If you have classes in the morning, you have to have lunch in the mixed dining room, and if you don't have classes in the afternoon, you don't have to run from the dormitory to the main teaching building, and you can do it yourself, which is easy to understand.

"What's the matter, Yusuke." Blowing Snow brought back a plate of sausages and a plate of wheat bread from the western dining area, and took a package of strawberry jam from a passing Red Courtyard girl's dinner plate, "I can't keep my soul, I didn't sleep well last night?" ”

"What do you say?" Yusuke Fujiwara stirred his sauce noodles weakly with a fork, and when he looked up and saw that Fuyuki was still kissing the girl, he finally got back a little strength and roared, "Have you figured out the current situation?" You Alexandre Dumas! Three people died the night before! One of them is still a teacher, and you still have the heart to work with her...... I really don't understand where you got your interest. ”

"Shhhhh

"Things don't have to be as bad as you think." He squeezed all the strawberry jam onto another empty plate, forked a sausage and dipped it in it, then broke open the bread and stuffed it in.

Yusuke Fujiwara had a disgusted expression: "It's the first time I've seen someone use strawberry jam like this. ”

"Today, in fact, is the day after it happened." Blowing Snow ignored his friend's ridicule, he ate very deliciously, "But there is nothing abnormal in the atmosphere in the college, teachers, professors, and students attend classes as usual, and some service locations such as restaurants, gyms, and canteens are not chaotic, which has fully explained the above meaning, I feel sorry for Mr. Dean's misfortune, but what's the use of worrying about it, it's better to be as leisurely as me...... What kind of expression do you have, I'm serious. ”

"I don't want to be scrambling to find out where my pants are when someone knocks on the door." Yusuke Fujiwara rested his head on the palm of his hand and stared at him disdainfully, "You're going to get them involved." ”

"I can get a good sense of proportion." Thinking of the danger that might come, Blowing Snow's face darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his strength and asked in a narrow whisper: "Shouldn't we pay more attention to 'her' than this matter?" ”

"You saw that night, right...... The figure is a lot more mature than the poster three years ago, and the most valuable thing is the temperament, I have never seen a girl like that......"

"You want to hit her idea?" Yusuke Fujiwara smiled playfully, "It's hard...... First of all, you have to ask Liang if he agrees, I'm afraid you didn't pay attention to it at the time, she is now Liang's teacher, not the superficial relationship in the school, but similar to the master-apprentice inheritance. ”

"Ah, that's bad news." Blowing Snow's reaction was somewhat unexpected by his friends," ...... Luckily, I didn't have much hope. ”

"You're self-aware." After eating the last bite of noodles, Fujiwara Yusuke picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, "Indeed, identity, family background, experience, and strength have all been dumped N streets, if you really have an idea, I'm afraid I'll have to order a coffin for you." ”

"Yusuke." Blowing Snow shouted dryly.

"What."

"Do you feel better now?"

"......" The green-haired young man was stunned for a long time, "You guy, is it possible for-"

"We're brothers, don't take this kind of thing to heart." Fuxue leaned back in her chair, her eyes half-closed, and a toothpick in her mouth, "I don't have classes in the afternoon, do you want to go find Liang?" I just happened to see her again, and to be honest, I'm more curious about her strength, which can convince that Kagurazaka and Ryo at the same time...... I don't know if it's really as exaggerated as the rumors. ”

Suppression was supposed to be a Wednesday afternoon course, but because the dragon tooth teacher who taught the original course of situationalism in the morning was sick, this course was temporarily transferred to the morning, and the students cheered for it, because situational learning can be said to be the most headache course, those messy and all kinds of strange endgames are difficult to solve, not to mention, they have to memorize the solved endgame completely, and the final assessment is said to be a silent endgame in the form of words...... God, this is an unscrupulous professor who came up with an idea, and to be able to skip this week's situation class is equivalent to skipping this week's homework in this class, and it means that some of them who didn't finish their homework last week can have an extra week to remedy it, which is simply-

"Great!" Wan Zhangmu, who had a curious hairstyle, suddenly burst out from behind the blowing snow in the Heavenly Courtyard, "Master's idea is always so wise and decisive, is it true that this time the target is the strongest duelist in the legend!" ”

"Quasi? How did you end up here. Blowing Snow was taken aback, "Your afternoon class...... Oh I forgot you're in the Red Courtyard (Note 1) right now, yes, there are others who don't. ”

"Ah...... Actually, it was actually the Heavenly House (Note 2) who called me here, and she said that the master and Fujiwara had time in the afternoon, and they wanted to invite everyone to go with them, to find 'her' together, and by the way, to talk about the prevention work after the attack and how to deal with the keys. ”

The seven keys to the "Seven Star Gate" are now in the hands of the ten generations, and the Dade Temple finally defeated the rest of the people before the first battle, along with his own keys There are six, after the ten generations defeated him, all the keys naturally became his trophies, and there was no need to deploy anything for this purpose, but since there is news that the source of the threat has not been eradicated, how to deal with these keys has become a problem.

"If the others say, there are still ten generations of them, after all, they are all from the Red Courtyard, and they also know ...... Lowdown. When the word insider was mentioned, Wan Zhangmu's feelings became a little sad, he had not been with Daitokuji for a long time, and it was only after returning from the Northern Branch and joining Osiris that he really got to know the kind dean of the Red Academy, and he couldn't help but feel sad about the death of such a teacher.

I remember that when we used to eat together in the Red Courtyard Restaurant, the dean even put fried shrimp on his plate.

"There seem to be a lot of people...... "Fukiyuki thought with her chin in her head, "You and I, Yusuke and Ryo, there are almost ten of them in the ten generations, and I don't know if it will be too abrupt...... Is she contained? ”

"Who said you didn't have much hope just now!" Fujiwara Yusuke couldn't help but spit out a groan, and debunked his previous guarantee, "Judging from your reduced IQ, you don't really have thoughts about her, do you?" Hey, that's dangerous, sue me, you're kidding. ”

"Huh?" The heavenly courtyard blew snow but still didn't react, "Is this problem related to IQ?" ”

"Division...... Master. Wanzhang stammered and reminded him, "That, didn't Maruto Senpai mention it before, the seventh floor of the Twin Towers...... Even if it's only half the area, I think it's enough to contain us. ”

…… So, after a short break after lunch, the two of them came to the back door of the main teaching building with Manjome, where Asuka had made an appointment to meet them.

In the shade of a tree by the side of the road sat a few students in red uniforms, who looked like they had been waiting here for a long time.

"Anyway, there are no classes in the afternoon, so I dragged them to wait here early." Yujo Shiyo doesn't look as sunny as before, and even the smile gives people a reluctant feeling, "I'm sorry...... Because it's hard to calm down, I hope to see her soon. ”

"Don't make yourself too uncomfortable, Juyo" Fukiyuki patted him on the shoulder, "This qiē didn't happen because of you, it's the guy who is really responsible for orchestrating this conspiracy." ”

Neither he nor Yusuke Fujiwara are students of Osiris, and even if they are sad about the affairs of Daitokuji, they are definitely not as bad as the blows that these people have received in the ten generations, and this incident is a hurdle for the ten generations, and if they can't cross it, it is possible to have disgust with the duel in the future.

Shiyo didn't say anything, just nodded, and Fukiyuki and Yusuke looked at each other and sighed.

It didn't take long for them to wait until Asuka and Misawa land, and the girl also brought Kronos by the way, who was also one of the insiders.

"I know that after experiencing grief, you have doubts in your hearts, and you don't understand why the simple pursuit of dreams can lead to death." When they arrived, Li Bai was tending to a wounded man in her bedroom - her whole body was covered in snow-white medical bandages, blood oozed everywhere, her face was covered with a towel and only her mouth and nose were breathing, and the injuries were as if she had been cut all over her body with a razor blade.

"But it's actually the price you have to pay to walk on this path." She handed over the work to Lilith and turned to look at the room, "At least in this day and age. ”

Li Bai is dressed today in a white shirt and black slim pants, there is a vigorous and resolute taste between actions, the influence of the night before seems to have completely disappeared from her, and people who have not been with her before have only the impression of her on the screen The decisive victorious king thought that she was originally like this, but Kagurazaka and Maruto Ryo exchanged glances inexplicably on the side.

Teacher doesn't look right today...... The twilight aura that could often be detected in her in the past is gone, and that kind of sharp knife-like power is usually only revealed a little at the moment of the duel, how can it be felt almost every moment like today?

With an uneasy feeling about the unknown, they obeyed Li Bai's instructions and led everyone to the dueling arena behind the corridor first, and only here could they accommodate everyone without being crowded.

"First of all, I'm going to have bad news for you." Li Bai followed closely here, facing ten pairs of eyes looking at her, she still remained calm, "If any of you want to avenge the deceased, I'm afraid you won't be able to do so." ”

Yucheng Shiyo raised his head suddenly, and his breathing became a little short.

"Ten generations ......" Asuka called out to him as she stood next to her, looking at the brown-haired boy with an unusually worried look in her eyes.

Ten generations have privately challenged Ryo Maruto, who has the name of Caesar, and that is the first defeat he has experienced since joining the dueling academy, but even if he fails, his optimism has not wavered, and there seems to be some kind of magic in his body, which can infect everyone who meets him inadvertently, whether it is an enemy or a companion, he can always make the atmosphere of the battle develop in the direction he likes, like a happy elf, so that everyone unconsciously approaches him...... But since she was given the Seven Star Key and took over the burden and heaviness, she rarely saw him smile after the duel.

"The president of the Heaven and Earth Image Society, one of the directors of the Duel Academy, and one of the four principals, Chairman Kagemaru, died at home at 1:39 a.m. yesterday because the life support device was secretly tampered with."

"What!? Seriously? That Kagemaru chairman? Misawa Daichi, who was standing with the former Seven Star King Tanya, couldn't help but scream when he heard the news.

"I've heard of him, Heaven and Earth Image Agency...... Is he also the principal of our school? Maruto Sho asked curiously, "Isn't the principal of our school always the only principal of Sameshima?" ”

"Principal Sameshima should just be in charge of management." Chubby Maeda Hayato frowned and pondered, "I remember that it was recorded in the history of the school that there were three principals who really held power in the Duel Academy, and they came from the forces that jointly established the academy from three companies, namely Tong Shiye's Haima Group, Kyoto's Tiandi Image Society, and Shanghai's Angelis Foundation, and there is no problem with him being the principal." ”

Everyone was shocked by this news, because if it was true, it meant that the Duel Academy had lost not only an inner court dean but also a powerful principal within three days, and it could be explained by accident if it was brought out alone, but it was not normal to look at such a similar time, right?

"Does the media know the news now?" Maruto Ryo opened his mouth to ask Li Bai, his sense of smell was the keenest among these people, and he understood what Kagemaru's death meant, if the news of the "disappearance" of Daitokuji Temple was all reported by the media, the masses would definitely have strong doubts about the safety of the academy - although Kagemaru's death must have been declared to the outside world that he had died of illness, and his residence was not on this island, but the identity was there, that is, someone would compare the two, and at that time, The prestige of the Duel Academy and its authority in the world is undoubtedly a blow to Yan zhòng, and there are even more Yan zhòng...... Haima Group because of the hidden background of the Seahorse Seren, in recent years, is constantly shrinking its hands and feet, its influence in the Asian region has been completely surpassed by Angeles's latecomers, all the affairs of the academy are handed over to Shark Island to take care of, the power of the Tiandi Image Society fell at this time, the core power circle of the academy is almost two-third, and in the face of the capital that is eyeing the periphery, it is in danger of complete collapse.

"......I don't know yet," Li Bai shook his head, "The news was blocked as soon as possible, and medical records and medical certificates were being forged over there, and it seemed that it could be suppressed." ”

Being able to transform the top floor of a building in the Duel Academy into this way without the seahorse, she certainly has her own diehards and eyeliner beyond the island.

But what does this have to do with revenge? Could it be that Chairman Cheng Ying Pill is related to the Seven Star King? As if thinking of something, Yusuke Fujiwara exclaimed incredulously, "The person we have been fighting against all along, is our principal?" ”

There was an eerie silence in the venue, and no one could accept this speculation in the first place - it was ridiculous!

"Tanya." Misawa turned his head and quietly asked the sturdy muscular woman, "Is it really ...... the person who hired you seven stars?"

"No...... I've been contacted by someone else, and I don't know if it's him behind the scenes. Tanya said she didn't know, and that she had only an employment relationship with the person who was hiding behind the scenes, and had not met in person.

Kronos hid at the back of the crowd shivering, along with his eyes.

"Even if you don't come to me today, I'll let Liang gather you." Li Bai didn't answer Fujiwara Yusuke, she just calmly stared at the faces that looked surprised or panicked because of the news.

"It's far from over, in the face of the coming war, you elites who are destined to be at the forefront are qualified to know the truth, and those who feel 'regret' for Kagemaru's death will also know who is really going to settle the score."

She pinned her gaze to Toyo's face and smiled.

Ten generations' complexion turned pale in that instant.

"If it really comes to the day of reckoning." Li Bai shifted his gaze and dispersed it back to the others, "I hope he doesn't have the kindness of a woman." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――
