Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

As night falls, the dormitory lights glow softly and brightly.

After listening to Jiu Shi Ji's description, Shen Yi looked at the girl in front of him with a serious expression:

"So, you started your own gang out of anger because you weren't accepted by your family's organization?"

"It wasn't done in a fit of anger." There was a stubbornness in Jiji's wine-red eyes. "I was prepared for this after coming to the exam. Thirteenth Sister is very strict. Even if she is her own sister, she cannot join if she doesn't pass the test."

Shen Yi asked doubtfully, "Is it that difficult?"

As he spoke, he looked down and flipped through his identity card, then swiped to an interface and showed it to Kuju-hime, saying, "Your sister is from the Dragon Emperor Society, right? I've already received an invitation from them, but I haven't heard of any joining duels."

Standing not far behind Shen Yi, watching Jiu Shi Ji warily, Nangong Ai heard Shen Yi's words and quietly nudged Vera, who was casually studying black tea beside her:

"Won't the other side be angry if Ah Yi says that? After all, she's the eldest daughter of the Ji family."

The Ji family is a very well-known family in the Starry World. Their companies cover almost every aspect of people's lives. Even Nangong Ai, who prefers to stay at home, often hears news about them.

"Don't worry, Yi always knows how to speak properly," Vera said with a smile, trying to reassure him.

"Is...is that so?"

"Yeah. If the opponent doesn't pull out their deck and challenge you to a duel in the end, they're considered to be pretty good-natured."

"Huh? This... this counts as speaking with tact?"

"Every sentence he says is aimed at making people angry or speechless. How can you say he has no sense of propriety?" Vera said, pursing her lips. "Many times I feel like he does it on purpose."

At this point, Vera sighed and said, "Forget it, you can't expect someone who spends most of the year talking to his dolls and has no real-world social interaction besides playing cards to have any emotional intelligence in conversation."

After saying that, Vera continued to prepare black tea for the two people who were talking.

Seeing Vera so busy, Nangong Ai asked softly, "Vera, aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

"That young lady... she's very beautiful, and comes from a good family..."

Vera looked at Nangong Ai suspiciously: "Why do you care about this?"

"No, I didn't notice!" Nangong Ai's cheeks flushed again, worried that Vera would discover her little secret.

Compared to others in this world who have no concept of love, Nangong Ai, who has witnessed her parents' loving relationship, still has some fantasies about such things.

"Well, after all, she's really pretty and cute..."

At this point, Nangong Ai couldn't help but feel a little inferior.

The artificial doll Vera and the girl born through AI matching have both reached the peak of their appearance under the existing conditions.

As a product of natural reproduction, she appeared quite ordinary in their presence.

This is also why Nangong Ai often feels inferior.

In this new era, her appearance, which was considered very beautiful in Shen Yi's previous life, seems quite ordinary.

Nangong Ai's feelings were impossible to hide.

Vera gave her a half-smile, but ultimately couldn't help but remind her, "Don't worry, this young lady definitely doesn't suit A-Yi's tastes."

"Huh? You don't like someone so pretty?" Nangong Ai exclaimed in surprise.

"He might like her when she turns into a card," Vera said, picking up her tea and heading towards the living room.

"Change, turn into a card? What do you mean?" Nangong Ai looked at Vera's back with a puzzled expression.

In the living room, Jiu Shi Ji looked at the invitation in Shen Yi's hand, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes: "This is normal. Thirteenth Sister is very strict with us, and your strength is indeed very strong."

"Is that considered strong?" Shen Yi was actually not entirely satisfied with Gu Yan's duel.

Following his previous dueling strategy, Gu Yan couldn't even create his terminal during the first round.

Unfortunately, I still had too few resources and was unable to interrupt the opponent's trap.

His final words to Gu Yan were, to some extent, a reflection of his own dissatisfaction.

It's really unacceptable to not even have a trap to interrupt the opponent's opening move when playing cards.

Hearing Shen Yi's self-talk, Ji Shi pondered to herself.

Does this man genuinely believe this, or is he simply trying to put on an act in front of me?

She took a deep breath and quickly composed herself: "In short, if you agree to join my club, I will put all the resources I can mobilize into your life."

Shen Yi toyed with the ID card in his hand, looked at the girl's serious eyes, and grinned:

"The terms are very tempting."

Princess Kuju breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"But I refuse!"

Princess Kuju was slightly taken aback, then widened her eyes and asked:

"Why?!"

"Because you are too weak."

"Wh...what?"

Shen Yi raised his index finger and said very seriously, "Our entrance exam ended at four o'clock in the afternoon, and you were already at my dormitory door at six o'clock. During this time, you went to the Dragon Glory Society and even applied to establish your own club."

"You not only lost that duel, but it didn't even last many rounds." Shen Yi looked at Jiujiu, whose face was getting increasingly pale. "Duelmen rarely duel across levels. The person you fought was probably around the same level as us."

"Losing so quickly shows that your strength is still too weak," Shen Yi concluded.

Princess Kuju opened her mouth, trying to explain.

After all, although He Kan was only a newcomer who joined last year and was just a Level 1 duelist who was about to advance to Level 2, he was the rookie king of Yuezhou Duel Academy.

But even though the words were on the tip of her tongue, Princess Kuju couldn't bring herself to say them.

Because what Shen Yi said was indeed true.

I lost too quickly.

This is simply undeniable.

"So you should just leave," Shen Yi said coldly, issuing the order to get rid of him.

Women are such a hassle.

With such weak combat skills, they still dare to recruit me.

Joining such a club means you won't find high-level dueling opponents, which would diminish the fun.

As they were talking, Vera brought over the black tea.

Shen Yi looked at Vera with a puzzled expression. The conversation was over, so why did you bring the tea over?

Vera glared back at Shen Yi, signaling him to take good care of the guests.

Shen Yi pursed his lips, but still patiently waited for Jiu Shi Ji's reaction.

Jiji did not show anger or embarrassment at Shen Yi's refusal. She took a deep breath and then asked very seriously:

"You must really enjoy dueling, right?"

Before she arrived, she had already studied the video of Shen Yi's duel with Gu Yan several times.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"New members will have a six-month cooling-off period."

"Newly established clubs can only be temporary at first. They need to challenge all existing clubs in the academy within three months and defeat the duelists sent by 60% of the clubs to accept the challenge before they can be officially established."

As Jiushiji spoke, she leaned forward, crossed her arms, and stared intently at Shen Yi:

"As you said, I am very weak. If you join us, we will definitely send you to take on the challenge."

There are currently thirty-two clubs in the college.

"In other words, once you join, you will have thirty-two duels over the next three months."
