My anime-style card deck is fine!

The teapot on the coffee table immediately floated up and poured a cup of tea for the head of the teaching department.

Beside Amon floated a cup of tea.

However, Amon has no intention of drinking it for the time being.

The dean of students didn't say anything either. He just subconsciously picked up his teacup and then put it down again. He didn't waste any time with Amon and went straight to his purpose.

Chapter 214: Kyoto University [Revised]

Unsurprisingly, it concerned the joint freshman competition among multiple universities.

Although the cause of this joint freshman competition was just a few American students with unclear minds, after much fermentation, the driving force behind it has long been more complex.

However, Amon doesn't need to know these things.

The head of the teaching department didn't mention it either.

The reason for specifically seeking out Amon was that the rules of this joint competition were far too unfriendly to Silver-level card masters.

"Duel between Silver-level players is unrestricted."

"But in duels between Silver and Bronze, Silver-level card players will not be allowed to use Silver cards." The headmaster shook his head: "If they can't use Silver-level cards, most Silver-level card players are even worse than Bronze-level card players."

"At the very least, a Bronze III card player can use Silver cards!"

In most cases, a normal deck revolves around a specific terminal, and there's even a saying that the first terminal to be played wins.

Although this claim is unreliable and extreme.

However, the fact that this saying has been circulating suggests that it has some credibility.

"Can't I use a silver card?"

Amon's expression turned strange: "These guys, haven't they just run into a wall?!"

Apart from Milton and Shaymin, all of his Pokémon are Bronze-level followers—although they will have Silver-level follower traits after reaching level 40, they are still essentially Bronze-level cards!

"So, I'm leaving it to you."

The head of the teaching department clearly thought the same way, which was the main reason why he entrusted Wu Shanyu to bring Amon here!

The restriction on Silver Cards means that a large number of traditional card players, led by The Royal, will lose their dueling ability, especially decks like The Royal that are built around a single card.

It was completely blocked!

The others weren't much better off, as they had been on the ship for the past few days and hadn't been able to replenish their cards or rebuild their decks, so they had to withdraw from the competition.

On the contrary, the cruise ship needed to return to shore to pick up students from other universities.

During this time, the freshmen at Sakura University had enough time to regroup and rebuild their decks. Although they wouldn't reach their full potential, they were still stronger than people like Wang Quan!

In order not to give Wang Quan and his men time to rest, this group of people actually only allowed the cruise ship to dock for one day.

What can you do in a day?

—Can you call Amon over?

The head of student affairs had a smile on his face and patted Amon on the shoulder: "Do a good job, show our might, and don't let Sakura swagger around!"

……

After seeing off the head of teaching affairs.

Amon met up with Wushan Yu in the hall.

Surrounding Wu Shanyu sat a large group of people. When A Meng approached, he recognized them all as familiar faces—he had seen them at the previous Silver Genius Gathering.

They were all familiar faces.

Amon even saw Li Guang inside, the only man who had hurt him in the final college entrance exam. Upon seeing Amon, Li Guang simply smiled, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Here, children shouldn't drink alcohol." When Wu Shanyu saw A Meng coming over, she immediately handed him a glass of juice.

"what?"

Amon looked at Wushan Yu, then glanced at the others: "Aren't you all drinking too?"

"We are eighteen years old."

Wu Shanyu looked at the fifteen-year-old boy in front of her and smiled, "You're already a college student."

"...I'm a college student now."

Ammon muttered to himself.

But she didn't argue, and instead accepted the juice.

He greeted the people around him, but they weren't very enthusiastic.

However, it was also true that this rare major event had nothing to do with them—this frustration of not being able to participate and only being able to watch from the sidelines led them to gather here and drink alone.

Amon wandered around the crowd for a while, then finally sat down next to Wang Quan and teased, "So, Wang Quan, you got the short end of the stick again this time?"

"Humph!"

Wang Quan ignored Amon.

At the same time, he was also very annoyed. Although he was aware of the flaws in his deck, there were not many tournaments in China that disregarded martial ethics and directly restricted the rules because of the Wang family's influence!

The last time he took the final round of the college entrance exam, it was the first time he had ever experienced something like this.

At the time, he didn't think anything of it.

I missed the duel with Amon, thinking there would be another chance, so I didn't pay much attention. But... I had only been in Sakura for a few days when this happened again.

But on both of those occasions, he just happened to miss Amon!

There won't be a third time!

Wang Quan made a decision in his heart and glanced at his deck. This deck had accompanied him for a long but smooth period of time.

The journey was so smooth that it made him feel as if the world was always meant to be this way!

But in reality, it was simply because someone had cleared the obstacles for him in advance, guiding him to grow.

Until today, when no one else could catch up with him or carefully clear the stones from the road, Wang Quan finally felt the bumps on the road.

In the past, the monarchy might have overlooked such a minor issue.

but……

Wang Quan glanced at Amon, who was drinking juice around him. He was no longer alone; he now had rivals keeping pace with him, and even those who had once been chasing him from afar, such as Dadi, Wushan Yu, Li Guang, and Huang Jie...

They have all gradually caught up with him!

But he was still standing there wondering why he was being jolted so much—if this continued, he would be overtaken!

No one knows what Wang Quan is thinking.

Amon, on the other hand, chatted enthusiastically with the others, while regarding what had happened that day…

"The main problem is that the Royal Power beat people too brutally." King Kong sat to the side, watching Amon helplessly spread his hands: "Those Americans were traumatized by the Royal Power."

"They are targeting the monarchy; at most, we are just implicated."

Dadi, who hadn't appeared for a long time, sat quietly to the side: "Five-star Silver, huh? There are only about a thousand Silver Card Masters in the whole of Sakura, and most of them are still four-star."

"Then I turned around, and lo and behold, a five-star genius just popped out of nowhere!"

Huang Jie wore an exaggerated yet helpless smile.

Because of the existence of the royal power, whether it's to show off their students or to prove to other countries that their cherry blossoms are not without successors, in short, if the royal power is allowed to play at will in this competition, then no one else will have a chance to play.

Although it will inevitably affect their own silver card players.

But it's still better than letting the monarchy run rampant.

“Eh~!”

Amon had only briefly put himself in Sakura's shoes when he felt a chill run down his spine. Looking at Wang Quan, he couldn't help but say with disgust, "A character like you who's using cheat codes should be banned!"

"...What right do you have to talk to me like that!" Wang Quan finally couldn't hold back anymore: "You're a freak with cheat codes too, okay!"

It's one thing for others to tease him, but not for Amon!

They're pretty much evenly matched. If he's a cheater, then isn't Amon one too?!

"I wasn't discovered."

Amon spread his hands and said smugly, "As long as it hasn't been discovered, then it hasn't been opened!"

Ding bell~

As soon as Amon finished speaking, his phone received a text message.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that a supplementary rule had been added to the newly promulgated competition rules—cards with silver attributes would be treated the same as silver cards.

"..."

Okay, Pokémon has been banned too.

Amon was also thinking of lending his Pokémon to these people so that he could promote his Pokémon deck while battling the cherry blossoms.

"...Looks like you've been shut down too." Wang Ruochu, a musical prodigy and a proud but not spoiled girl who dotes on her brother, glanced at her phone and gave Amon a sneer.

Amon had no interest in arguing with her.

Instead, he frowned and looked at the information on his phone.

Pokémon has been banned, which means the organizers have obviously received information about his arrival on the cruise ship and also received intelligence about his presence in China.

Because of the ultimate college entrance exam, information about the Pokémon series is not kept secret.

If you really want to, gathering relevant information is quite easy.

In particular, China and Japan have visa-free access, and you can even access the internet from the other side without needing to bypass the Great Firewall. Both countries also use Mandarin as their official language.

Therefore, they immediately discovered the bug in Amon.

Then the bug was fixed.

"Looks like the director's plan to use me as a secret weapon has fallen through." Amon put away his phone. Although he couldn't use Pokémon to crush the weaker opponents anymore, Amon had no intention of losing.

"It seems you have new plans?"

Sitting next to Wushan Yu, Nan Ruyin, who had been quiet and hadn't spoken, finally spoke.
