Print the card! Then summon the Shura Field.

Three days later, at Yuezhou Duel Academy.

This prestigious institution of higher learning, located in the heart of Yuezhou City, is a hall of fame for countless dueling novices in the Starry World. Every year, countless people eager to become duelists come here to take the entrance exam.

This year is no exception.

"How is my outfit?"

Shen Yi excitedly showed off the clothes he had ordered yesterday for 1 point to Vera, who was standing next to him.

A long blue suit jacket, paired with a black undershirt and a double-layered belt at the waist, gives off a familiar vibe.

Vera looked at the unusually excited Shen Yi speechlessly: "Is this what you specially prepared for this duel?"

"Yeah!" Shen Yi quickly drew a card from his spell deck. "Don't you think wearing this outfit while drawing cards will give you some kind of mysterious boost?"

As he spoke, Shen Yi tugged at the necklace around his neck with a hint of disappointment. This necklace was given to him by Vera to prevent him from having bad luck to the point of death: "It would be better if this necklace could be a different style."

"Would you like me to replace it with a Millennium Puzzle?"

"Really?"

"What are you thinking about~!" Vera rolled her eyes at Shen Yi, then strode forward.

"Xiao Ai is really something. She's an idol's follower now, yet she's afraid of crowds like this." Vera looked at the situation at the academy gate and complained helplessly, "How will she perform in the dueling arena if she's so shy?"

Nangong Ai had originally agreed to come to Yuezhou Academy with them, but when it was time to leave, she was too scared and hid in Shen Yi's deck of cards.

Because there were so many candidates, the entrance exam was divided into several examination rooms.

Shen Yi drew D.

"It's D?" Shen Yi grinned. "Looks like I'll be lucky enough today. Hopefully, it'll be a pleasant duel."

Vera cautioned, "Don't accidentally mess things up. Your opponents during the exam will all be students from the academy, even the bottom-ranked ones are still official duelists."

The entrance exam is not only a test for newcomers to advance to higher education, but also a test to eliminate the bottom-ranked students.

Each student who serves as an examiner has ten duels.

If a student loses even one of the matches, he or she will be expelled from the academy.

Once you're expelled from school, even if you have a family background, you'll most likely end up as a follower of other family members.

After all, in this era of AI-matched genes, large families have no shortage of offspring. If someone isn't good enough, they can simply be eliminated.

Therefore, you shouldn't expect your opponents to go easy on you in the entrance exam. You should know that among the people taking the entrance exam, besides ordinary people with the initial deck, there are also the new generation of big corporations. Who knows what powerful cards they might have in their decks?

"I've prepared so much, if it really goes wrong, I'll accept it." Shen Yi seemed very open-minded, or rather, confident.

Although the deck he had painstakingly built from the decklist of that organization over the past few days wasn't particularly strong, it was the best he could do.

I've done my best; now it's up to me to build synergy with the deck.

Looking back on the past few nights of doll maintenance, Shen Yi felt that his connection with his core followers was quite deep.

As the two were talking, a commotion arose from not far away.

Wow! It's so beautiful!

"I heard she's the youngest daughter of the Ji family. No wonder she's so beautiful. They must have spent a lot of money on genetic screening back then."

Vera, with her sharp ears, clearly heard the whispers of those around her.

"There seems to be a beautiful woman over there," Vera tugged at Shen Yi's sleeve.

"What's so great about beautiful women?" Shen Yi glanced at Vera strangely. "Women are the most troublesome thing."

"..." Vera was speechless. "If you really find it troublesome, why are you so diligent every day?!"

She felt that Shen Yi was a hypocrite.

"Can a sister card be the same as a woman?" Shen Yi said this with a straight face.

"Is your sister a separate gender for you?!" Vera exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"Extra? What extra?" Shen Yi asked subconsciously, then Vera kicked him in annoyance.

"Let's not talk about that anymore." Shen Yi elegantly drew a card from his spell deck. "Don't you think my card-drawing animation was cool!"

"..."

******

Yuezhou Academy, the top floor of the Duel Tower.

This is the office of the president of the college's student union.

A cold-looking woman in a black school uniform stood by the window, looking down at the bustling crowd below.

Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her blood-red eyes were filled with arrogance and coldness.

"Is this boy the true owner of this card?" She held a card in her hand, the one Shen Yi had mortgaged to the organization, called "Blood Price."

"Yes, Miss Thirteen." A red spherical robot floated beside the girl.

The girl's name is Ji Shisan, but everyone prefers to call her Thirteen Ji. She is the president of the student council of Yuezhou Duel Academy and the thirteenth daughter of the Ji family patriarch.

"Such a card, actually made by an ordinary person? Interesting," Thirteen Princess said coldly.

"Would you like me to buy out this card, miss?"

"Don't waste your time. No duelist with a sound mind would sell this card."

"I don't think any ordinary person would refuse 100,000 points..."

"If he's willing to sell such a powerful card for points, then he can't possibly print a card like this." Thirteen Princess waved her hand. "No need to flatter me. If I really wanted this card, I would obtain it through dueling."

With that, Princess Thirteen stuffed the card into the spherical robot's mouth, making it swallow the card.

"You are a level six duelist. If you were to duel him, I'm afraid..."

Higher-ranking duelists will be subject to additional penalties when dueling with lower-ranking duelists.

If you insist on starting this duel, the luck and points you gain will probably not even cover a fraction of the fine.

If you still lose, it will be even more satisfying, as you will witness two stats on your identity card explode and become the opponent's reward.

"A card that can be printed with such pure and powerful power might soon be standing in front of me." Thirteen Princess's eyes were filled with excitement.

A dueling genius who improves at an astonishing rate.

It would be even more fun to crush it!

"Speaking of which, Miss Ninety is also taking the exam today. Why don't you go and see her?"

"Ninety? No interest." The girl waved her hand impatiently. "Let's wait until she gets her results."

"Miss Sanbai was born a few days ago, and you..."

"Hmph! Our old man is really energetic." Thirteen Princess showed a disdainful expression.

"Instead of boring family matters, let's talk about the exams." The girl returned to her desk, plopped down in her seat, and said coldly, "How many smart kids deliberately lowered their grades to try and bluff their way through the entrance exams?"

The entrance exam is a brutal competition, where students who lose a single test are expelled.

However, the rewards for a ten-game winning streak are very tempting. Even in a low-stakes duel, points are still awarded and luck is still taken away.

Therefore, every year, many lower-grade students try to exploit loopholes to cheat in the entrance exam.

After all, there are so many newcomers taking the entrance exam, most of whom are just ordinary people with only the initial deck, so the probability of being assigned a powerful newcomer is still very small.

Moreover, there's the added advantage of luck. As long as your luck is higher than others, the probability of being assigned to a genius is extremely low.

These guys who fry fish have very obvious characteristics: they had extremely poor grades in the last exam, but actually have considerable strength among their peers, and their luck is surprisingly high.

"Based on the existing data analysis, there are indeed students who deliberately lower their grades."

The red ball robot answered truthfully.

"But I don't think they're doing it to earn points."
