Du King Kong, Source World ID 'Iron Wall King Kong', a defensive fifth-order card master, now lives in the Federation.

Tall, bald-headed, a retired soldier of the peacekeeping force, who has worked as a bodyguard, firefighter, instructor and other professions, he is a hard-core person, and is highly praised by the industry and beyond.

The Fifth Order is respected as a 'master' by the world, and there is no need to do the hard and tiring work of peacekeepers and firefighters.

But card masters, for the most part, are not born to be card masters.

Du Jingang was thirty years old, in his career, he accidentally ignited the fire, and then slowly grew into a fifth-order.

If he is greedy for fame and fortune and leaves behind his tough guy style, it will be contrary to his own fire concept, and it is impossible to become a master.

In this year's huge 'Three Schools League', the organizing committee came forward and specially invited Du Jingang to serve as the referee.

Although there are many fifth-order card masters among the players.

But as a referee, the most important thing is fairness and experience, and it does not need to be stronger than the player, so Du Jingang is very suitable for this position.

The sunlight is dazzling, shining on the precious school robes of this group of high-achieving students, reflecting a bright light. The cheers were like a tsunami, and the opening ceremony was warmly applauded.

Du Jingang, who served as the referee, stood on the high platform in the center of the amphitheater, holding his strong arms, squinting his eyes slightly, and nodding to the main camera.

Next to the main shot is Honeysuckle's seat.

Du Jingang noticed a young coach who had been watching him, and couldn't help but take a second look, and sighed softly in his heart.

It's not that it feels familiar.

It's just that Du Jingang looks at people viciously, which is a eating skill that he has practiced in the army and bodyguard career.

That young and handsome coach...... The eyes are the eyes that can only be possessed after experiencing cruel experience and bloody fighting.

There are no weak soldiers under strong generals.

Du Jingang thinks that this year's league and honeysuckle's play may be very bright!

The host next to him said loudly: "Next, I would like to invite Aldrich, the president of Honeysuckle University, to make an opening speech!" ”

Aldrich was a gray-haired centenarian, said to be over one hundred and forty years old, in good spirits and with a glow of wisdom in his eyes.

When he was young, he was a seventh-order national soldier with the rank of colonel, and his friends were all outstanding people of his time.

But like the stone stele, it will erode with time, and the old man will wither one after another, leaving him to turn into an education career and single-handedly build Honeysuckle into a century-old famous school.

As for his current strength, Aldrich has not used the source power for many years, and it is somewhat embarrassing to let the old man go into battle to kill the enemy.

"One hundred years ago, I worked with the first principal of Red Lion to set the rules of the league, aiming to allow students to communicate and compete, show the courage and self-challenge ...... of card masters."

The old man said slowly: "Subsequently, more colleges and universities joined the ranks. The times are changing, the pattern is changing, but I think you must not lose that independent self and forge ahead. ”

"The world is looking to you for a more powerful cry."

The old man's eyes brightened at this moment, the wind blew his gray hair, and he said slowly and loudly: "I announce that this three-school league is officially opened. ”

The arena was boiling, and the students of Honeysuckle were all holding their heads up and their chests high.

That's really good, the person who spoke was even more awesome, a hundred years ago? The current headmaster of Red Lion hasn't been born yet!

Although the teachers of Red Lion were unhappy, the students were moved by the old man's sonorous speech and gave warm applause.

Lin Xiao inspected the teachers and students present, and saw that they were full of energy, like inflated balloons, and the wind filled the school robes.

After all, they are teachers and students of the top federal universities, and they are bound to become the elite and high-level class of society in the future, and 'arrogance' is as common as air for them.

So next...... It's just waiting patiently for the big fish to take the bait.

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered.

As for whether Jolena can win the championship, he is very confident, after all, the girl is a "weak woman" who can single-handedly drag down S-class monsters, and the fifth-order level is among the best among the players in this year.

Not to mention.

Lin Xiao glanced at the bald man on the main stage, and his mood was delicate.

Unexpectedly, even the referee is a group friend......

Of course, Du Jingang didn't know that I was a heavy sword man, and he couldn't be expected to cheat for personal gain.

But Lin Xiao had a duel with Du Jingang, and he can understand his concept of being as upright as an Arhat.

With Du Jingang as the referee, at least it can ensure the fairness and justice of this league.

Over the arena, a drone codenamed 'Ghost' hovers.

"Did you spot any suspicious people, Sigrid?" Chu Yun's voice sounded in Bluetooth.

The little secretary remotely controls the drone, his fingers are flying, and a large amount of sophisticated data appears on the laptop screen. The light of the screen reflected in her face and murmured:

"Not ...... yet"

"Wait a minute, I haven't found anything on the Arena side, but the access card system is a little suspicious!"

"What's the suspicious law?" Chu Yun asked in a low voice.

"The access control cards are all right, there is no forgery, but ......"

The little secretary said: "The owner of the access control card, a Ph.D. student, submitted the withdrawal procedures two years ago, but the school has not passed, and today is the first day he returned to school after two years." ”

The three-school league is held every two years, and it is common to attract students to return to school, but Chu Yun didn't dare to be careless, and said cautiously: "Is there any other situation?" ”

"Oh, I've listed all the suspicious points...... There will probably be more than a hundred! ”

"Really......"

Chu Yun rubbed his eyebrows and sighed lightly.

He was ready for a huge amount of work.

By bypassing the team leader, the Secret Service received no assistance, and it was up to him and Sigrid to do so.

But it is their professional job to sift out truly valuable information from a huge amount of intelligence.

"For the next week, let's get ready to work overtime."

Chu Yun said expressionlessly: "Coffee, afternoon tea, supper, crayfish, milk tea cake and the like are all ordered by you, all of them are counted on Lin Xiao's head." ”

Sigrid said forcefully, "Yes......"

Intelligence work consumes too much brainpower, so the little secretary loves sweets, but for the sake of body management, she exercises at home every day after work.

A week-long overtime, predictably overeating, and hellish fat-burning training after overtime......

Woo, the hateful heavy swordsman, he had to bypass the team leader to investigate the Demon God incident.

The little secretary sadly took a bite of strawberry sesame Dafu.

If it weren't for Daifuku's face, I would have to resign!

……

Honeysuckle University, Rector's Office.

The bookshelves are displayed indoors, oil paintings are hung, and the old man sits behind his desk and builds a pot of black tea to blow away the mist.

The Federation has been in turmoil recently, and the old man has heard of it, such as the appearance of demon god believers in various continents, and the comeback of super S-class monsters.

The Confederation not only did nothing, but suppressed the heroes who exterminated Theseus.

Aldrich frowned.

Behind all this, there is a huge fog, and the old man can't help but guess.

Something, or a plan, must be fully involved in it.

So that the Federation has no time to deal with monsters, and even prioritize the hidden dangers of card masters in the country?

The answer may lie in history.

Just like centuries ago, two behemoths competed fiercely for a moon landing program.

At that time, the two great powers let the contradictions within their countries go unnoticed, concentrated funds, technology, and talents, went all out to the moon, and were extremely wary of spies from other countries.

Once the moon is successfully landed, it means that we will have a cross-century leading edge in the competition for national strength.

At that time, the contradictions within the country will naturally become insignificant.

This left Aldrich on speculation.

I'm afraid the current federal ...... There are similar plans.

At present, the Federation has put the "monsters" aside, and instead focused on the "people", indicating that the threat of people to the plan is far greater than that of monsters.

Sooner or later, monsters will be destroyed, but the losses that people can bring are immeasurable.

It is understandable that the Federation is so vigilant, and even wary of the heavy swordsmen who eliminated Theseus.

"Moonshot."

Aldrich muttered:

"Above the seventh step, the moon landing program ......"

The old man looked up at the ceiling, his eyes were deep, and he let out a sigh:

"It turns out that Roman has begun to explore, and there has never been a modern card master who has set foot in the field?"

"That's the realm of saints and epics, after all......"

Aldrich shook his head.

"The craziest national warrior that the Federation has not had in a hundred years."

Although the old man speculated, Roman may be using all his national strength to carry out the "moon landing program" that is almost impossible to achieve.

And once successful, it means that Roman will have a crushing lead in the face of the "unparalleled warriors" of other countries.

But this also means that for a long time to come, the Federation will allow demon god believers and monsters to act recklessly within the country's borders......

On the contrary, the strong and ungoverned heroes from various countries will be more closely guarded.

Although in the bottom of my heart I don't agree with Roman's approach.

But the old man understood that if he wanted to stand firm in the wave that was bound to come, like 'Ragnarok'.

Roman made a choice that was not perfect, but it was in the interests of the Federation.

"It's better to rush to achieve results, time waits for no one......" Aldrich muttered hoarsely.

This is probably the most brutal darkness before dawn comes.

Or.

The old man thought with some sadness.

The darkness will last forever, and the dawn will never come......

Knock Knock –

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Aldrich said.

"Headmaster." Norman was dressed in a suit, his white hair was meticulously combed, his beard was gray, and his expression was serious: "I'll get the documents for the card system." ”

The old man nodded, looked at Norman's figure, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Norman, that student of yours...... Vaderta, hasn't graduated yet? ”

Norman paused as he rummaged through the papers, was silent for a long time, and whispered:

"He hasn't been seen for more than two years, and there's no way I'm going to give my diploma to a student who is on parole."

Vader was Norman's favorite student, but he was implicated in an arson case two years ago and was released after two years of detention and is under probation.

Although Honeysuckle has not canceled his school status, it is impossible to issue Vader a diploma.

"Yes." The old man said regretfully, "He is a student with ideas...... It's a pity. ”

Norman agrees with the principal.

Vader is a card-making genius, but his philosophy is different, which is "burning".

For Vader, the burning building has a magnificent beauty.

Norman regrets that he did not take on the role of teaching and educating people, and Vader still embarked on the path of arsonist.

But perhaps, what drove Vader to develop the card was his madman's pursuit of "burning beauty".

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

The principal smiled and said, "I've heard that there is a genius scholar from the language department, and he is still a dueling master...... It's called Lin Xiao, right? ”

Norman nodded: "Yes, I was also present during the interview." It is rare to see such an all-round young man. ”

Aldrich half-jokingly said:

"He's going to be very popular at this year's three-school prom, like I did when I was younger."

Norman said, "When you were young, you mean, a hundred years ago? ”

"Yes, the girls were very conservative at that time, and they had to talk for two hours before they were willing to get into my convertible." The old man said.

Norman was stunned.

Principal, do you have any misunderstanding of the word "conservative"?

……

Wednesday, July 13th.

The first round of the three-school league has officially begun.

The Red Lion Institute of Technology's venue, Grandmaster Adion, embodies a grand labyrinth in the amphitheater of honeysuckle.

Monsters, healing locations, and even treasure chests will randomly appear in the maze, and the chests will drop cards that can only be used in this match.

When a team member is broken by a monster projection, they will be automatically teleported out of the arena card.

There are three entrances, and according to the results of the lottery, Tulips are the first to choose the entrance, followed by Red Lion, and Honeysuckle last.

Before going on the field, Jolena sat in the player's seat, calmly holding Dafu in her arms.

"Oh... ヾ(●′?'●)" Daifuku narrowed his eyes.

My beautiful sister who feeds me fish... Come on, Europe!

The other side.

Lin Xiao lifted a snow-white owl in his arm and looked at Vivien.

"Otherwise, you're a coquette?" Lin Xiao said.

"Goo!" Vivien turned her head proudly.

Lin Xiao stood on his shoulder with a little fat chirp, and the rice balls trembled: "Chirp..."

After all, the snow owl is a bird of prey, and the soup dome is more of an emergency ingredient...... Trembling can be understood!

The competition has officially begun.

Led by Jolena, Honeysuckle's team broke into the labyrinth and broke through the labyrinth.

Along the way, most of the monsters encountered were treasure chests, and the monsters didn't even see a few shadows.

The students in the round stand gasped.

"That's too fast!"

"I reported that someone had opened the perspective!"

"Honeysuckle must have cheated on this venue card!" The Red Lion student glared angrily.

"But ......," the tulip student reminded, "this field card was embodied by the teacher at your school." ”

"Your school is even at the bottom of the line." Honeysuckle students mock mercilessly.

Red Lion Student: "......"

Inner ghost, there must be an inner ghost!

Lin Xiao in the stands, holding her arms, was quite calm.

There is a strong luck buff of Daifuku, and the speedrun maze map is a matter of course!

The first round of the tournament ended, and Honeysuckle took the lead with an absolute advantage.

However, the three-school league adopts a point system, and the temporary lead cannot be relaxed, and the next card duel is even more critical.

At dusk, there were many students from other schools on the honeysuckle campus, and the festive atmosphere of the three-school league was even stronger.

Lin Xiao had just disbanded the assembled school team and walked through the empty duel venue alone.

Sunset shone into the basketball court-like room through the skylight, Lin Xiao heard someone shouting behind him, and saw the silver-haired girl holding her hands behind her back, and said a little nervously:

Professor Lin and Professor Lin...... Friday's prom, please, do you have any arrangements? ”

"There's a prom on Friday?" Lin Xiao was at a loss.

Jolene walked out of the training room with her satchel and sweat in her high ponytail, just in time to see the scene in front of her.

Ka!

The shoulder strap of the satchel was clenched tightly by the girl, and Jolena's red eyes were cold, and she was immediately stunned, feeling inexplicable for her annoyance.

"Nope." Lin Xiao replied.

Before Cynthia could speak, Lin Xiao continued:

"I had another part-time job that day, though."

Part-time refers to the work of the investigation team.

And Cynthia can also understand that some teachers usually have other things in addition to their own work.

"Okay." The silver-haired girl said, "Professor Lin, goodbye!" ”

Lin Xiao waved his hand, turned around and looked, suddenly startled.

In front of him stood Jolena, who was lost in thought.

There was not even a sound of footsteps...... What a terrible woman!

Jolena's red eyes flickered, her arms folded, and her snow neck was a faint crimson.

Friday's Prom...... Can I invite him to attend......

This is to investigate the Demon God case and investigate the suspicious phenomena in the ball.

Well, that's right!

"You have a cold?" Lin Xiao said. Even the neck is red, which is not normal.

Jolena had already returned to normal, passed by his side, took his wrist, and said calmly, "Follow me." ”

"Where?"

"Check the prom list!"
