Duels should be played with a smile.

Moreover, there didn't seem to be many familiar monster reliefs carved on the gate.

The school building covered a much larger area than I remembered. The gate was tightly closed, weeds grew rampant, and the surrounding woods grew even more unchecked, with many branches reaching into the classrooms inside, untrimmed.

The Snow Woman walked along the wall of the school building to the other side, counting the various reliefs on the wall as she went: "This is the Sacrifice Demon...this is the relic of the megalith...this is the Azure Phoenix God, and this one, it seems to be the Evil Relic?"

“Without a doubt, this is Benten, this is divine light, this is sacred light.” Ella also pointed to the relief on the other side.

"I understand the logic, but why is there such a large abandoned school building in GX's Duel Academy, and why are there carvings of Long Huiqiao's older brother and second brother on the gate?"

"This can't be the ritual branch of the Duel Academy, can it?"

“I think your guess is mostly correct, and it seems someone has arrived.” Philvo put away the light screen, looked at the Snow Maiden and Ella, exchanged a glance, and then returned to the card together.

Before we figure out the current situation, let's let Leyou, the best actor, handle it.

The surrounding area was all wooded, and after concentrating, it was easy to hear the sounds of weeds and branches not far away.

"Huh? Which college are you from? What are you doing here?"

"Students are prohibited from going here without permission. Have you forgotten the school rules?!"

"Wait! You're not wearing a school uniform! Who are you anyway?!"

The newcomer immediately launched into a barrage of questions, and upon noticing Leyou's attire, immediately drew his dueling weapon and adopted a wary stance.

Leyou, however, calmly turned around and slowly said, "I'm so sorry... I seem to... Holy crap! Pot of Greed!"

No wonder the accent sounded familiar; it turns out the person who came was Professor Pot of Greed!

In that case, it must be GX.

Speaking of which, what was Professor Pot of Greed's name again?

Professor Chronos's face darkened visibly.

Even though he was used to being called the Pot of Greed, those were people he was on good terms with! Now this guy of unknown origin has come out and is spouting nonsense. He has to teach this guy a lesson today and let him know what the glory of an ancient noble family is all about!

"The duel disk isn't the standard academy duel disk; it's more like one customized from a virtual world... So, where are you from?"

Although the teacher Chronos has an unusual appearance and may seem harsh, he is impeccable in his job.

As for dueling strength... one can only say that he has the face of Pot of Greed, but not the strength of Pot of Greed.

"Oh dear, this is really a headache. In fact, I'd also like to know where I am."

With a sheepish grin, Leyou scratched his head, adopted an innocent demeanor, and bowed to Professor Chronos with a smile.

"Hey there, you gentleman with such an aristocratic air, I apologize for my slip of the tongue. Since I'm not quite sure what's going on, could you please explain to me where I am and who you are?"

Leyou's goodwill softened Professor Chronos's attitude slightly, but he didn't completely let his guard down.

Professor Chronos's gaze shifted between Leyou and the school buildings behind him. When he saw the gate of the Ritual Academy and the reliefs on the walls, the atmosphere, which had eased up, instantly became even more serious.

"This is the former abandoned Ritual Academy campus... As for who I am, we'll leave that question for after the duel!"

His attitude seemed particularly resolute, as if there was no other way but to settle things with a duel.

"Oh dear... Now, we have no choice but to duel."

"In this situation, I'd better be friendly and do as the locals do."

With the duel disk unfolded and the deck loaded, Leyou revealed a composed smile.

"Then hopefully we can have a good chat after the duel."

"Duel!"

Let Chapter Two arrive! The Future Dragon Emperor!

"Duel!"

The moment the duel began, Leyou sensed a mysterious power descending nearby, seemingly exerting some influence on the duel.

[Roll Point Results: Leyou 6, Chronos 5]

Even if the two duel disks are completely different models and most likely not from the same company, the roll program still starts automatically when the battle begins.

All I can say is, don't worry about things outside of the duel, just focus on playing your cards!

"The first strike is mine!"

Unless it's a deck that uses an OTK (One-Turn Kill) strategy, you should just go first without thinking!

"My turn!"

Upon entering the turn, the Duel Disk did not prompt for card draws, and there were two EX slots in the center of the field. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the new Master Rule.

"Very impressive, but a duel requires more than just momentum!" Professor Chronos, who had also drawn five cards, was secretly delighted when he saw his hand.

His deck was perfect for a late-game breakthrough, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Hmm... the hand card is a bit awkward, so let's leave it at that for now!"

"I usually summon [Half-Dragon Maid - Bedroom Dragon Girl]!"

[Dark 4★ Dragon 500 Attack Power]

With a graceful figure, Xiao Hei walked lightly onto the field, carrying cleaning tools. Her black clothes complemented her light golden hair, and a faint blush graced her face, as if she were a little shy about her first appearance.

"Greetings...Master."

Her tail swayed slightly behind her, revealing her inner turmoil. The dragon girl in the dormitory turned her head to avoid her master's somewhat intense gaze.

"Hmm... it's better to focus on the duel."

The half-dragon maid's destructive power was simply too great; even Leyou, who prided himself on having an iron will, was finding it difficult to withstand.

Besides, we're still in the midst of a duel with Professor Greed, so we can't act too frivolously.

Xiao Hei's appearance put Le You's will to the test, and Professor Chronos, who was of noble birth, also had a slight change in his attitude towards Le You because of the appearance of the dragon girl in his bedroom, whose clothing, appearance and manners were very much in line with the standards of nobility.

Servants do indeed represent the face of their master's household from a certain perspective; if the servants are excellent, the master is unlikely to be bad either.

Using this deck... could this person also be of noble birth? Looking at it this way, he doesn't seem so suspicious after all.

Leyou was unaware that his deck selection would bring him extra benefits; all he wanted to do was see more Dragon Maids and see how spectacular it would be to see all the Dragon Maids appear together.

That must be heaven!

"Little Black's effect: Once per turn, if you successfully summon two cards, you can activate this effect to search your deck for 1 [Half-Dragon Maid] Spell/Trap."

I searched for "[The Half-Dragon Maid's Hospitality]".

Taking out the magic card representing the dragon maids' hospitality from her bosom, the dormitory dragon girl blushed and presented it with both hands.

"Next... a delicate situation, but since I've already agreed, I can't break my promise."

"It's up to you!"

"I activate [Half-Dragon Maid's Affection]. You can only activate one card per turn. Special Summon 1 [Half-Dragon Maid] monster from your hand or Graveyard. After that, you can send 1 [Half-Dragon Maid] monster with the same Attribute but a different Level from your Deck to the Graveyard."

"Come forth! Future Dragon Emperor!"

"【Half-Dragon Maid - Laundry Dragon Girl】!"

[Water · 2★ · Dragon · Defense 1600]

Amidst a flurry of hurried and chaotic footsteps, Xiao Lan, who had just emerged from the laundry room, stumbled and landed on the field.

"Yay! I finally have a chance to perform!"

"Ouch!"

Before the happy little blue could even stand up straight, she tripped over her own tail. If it weren't for the little black dog watching her and pulling her back before she fell, little blue's white laundry apron might have been stained black with mud.

"You need to be mindful of your manners!" Xiao Hei rubbed Xiao Lan's head, reminding him for the umpteenth time.

The scrutinizing gaze from Professor Chronos made Xiao Lan realize that she had probably gotten into trouble again, and tears of grievance welled up in her eyes, about to fall.

"Alright, alright, don't panic. You're the key player in this duel!"

"Alright, Xiao Lan, it's time to demonstrate the precise grave-building techniques you learned from your elegant older sister!"

"Little Blue's effect: once per turn, if a double summon is successful, the top 3 cards of your deck are sent to the graveyard."

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Xiao Lan nodded vigorously: "Yes! I definitely won't let you down!"

Then it ran to the deck, flicked its tail, and threw the top three cards into the graveyard.

Upon opening the cemetery, the first picture made Leyou feel as if her heart had stopped.

[Divine Declaration]

Leyou's gaze toward Xiaolan gradually became subtle.

Never mind, let's take another look... Hmm... It's not that it's useless, it's just that the cultivation isn't fully mastered.

Fortunately, they didn't throw away all three Divine Declarations.

Otherwise, I might really kick out the only designated future Dragon Emperor of this deck after this duel.

"You did a good job, but don't be complacent, keep up the good work!" Leyou encouraged, ruffling Xiaolan's hair.

Hopefully, I can stack it better next time.

"Yes! I will continue to work hard!"

"Well... it seems like there's nothing else we can do."

The first impression of the Dragon Maid really depends on looks.

At least when Xiao Lan was first getting started, it was purely based on luck.

"Reveal yourself! The circuit that guides the future!"

The circuit representing Link Summoning appeared in the field, and Professor Chronos looked at Leyou with even more curiosity.

Using summoning methods other than fusion in the fusion dimension still requires a certain level of strength.

At this moment, Leyou also noticed something was wrong, because when he called the circuit, he felt some resistance, and Philvo promptly transmitted some information to him.

This world seems to be divided into several large regions. While there is communication between these regions, there are also barriers between them. In this world, the electronic world seems to connect these regions and also act as a bridge.

It seems that in this area, only fusion of related powers can be used without hindrance, followed by linking. Other summoning methods will encounter considerable resistance when used. Only duelists with relatively strong strength can ignore these and freely use all summoning techniques.

In addition, Ritual Summoning and Superior Summoning are completely unaffected—but are also very rare.
