Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

The monitoring continued.

"How about we duel instead..."

"Let's not duel this morning, let's do something else."

"But... I feel so embarrassed when you stare like that..."

"No! I have to see it! You're amazing!"

"No duel? That's great! What are they doing in there?!" Shu Yu'er's eyes flashed with a cold light as she pressed the record button.

These are all pieces of evidence in the trial!

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Yi Lan pulled out a bag of potato chips, ready to watch the show.

Luo Bai's somber voice came through the listening device.

"You don't want to sit on the bench and never get to play, do you?"

"Unspoken rules?!" Shu Yu'er was furious. She turned off the listening device and kicked the iron door hard, making a loud banging sound.

"Open the door! Supervisors are on duty!"

"What are you doing?" Luo Bai complained as he opened the iron gate, "You ruined my plans."

"You're ruining my plans?!" Shu Yu'er gritted her teeth and said coldly, "I now suspect that you're using your position to try and sexually harass female team members."

"Please come to me."

"Unspoken rules?" Luo Bai asked, taken aback. "What's wrong with you?"

"You lecherous fiend!" Shu Yu'er shouted coldly, "I have evidence, you're not getting away!"

"Baiyun, don't be afraid..."

She rushed into the training room to comfort the nervous Baiyun, but the scene before her eyes made her freeze instantly.

Baiyun was sitting in a chair, holding a pen. In front of her was a canvas, and on the wooden frame was a nearly completed ukiyo-e print. The design was—

【Nopunk - Zeami】

"You two are doing this instead of dueling?" the crowd asked in unison, their faces full of disbelief.

"Extraordinary measures must be taken in extraordinary circumstances," Luo Bai said without a word, "You're ruining my plans."

"Baiyun needs to train her mindset..."

“Look…” he said, pointing to the nearly completed ukiyo-e print, expressing his heartfelt admiration.

"She's amazing!"

Baiyun blushed and lowered her head timidly.

Double update progress on the 11th: 99.9% (as of 21:00)

Chapter 255 What I'm about to tell you, please don't be afraid.

"Tsk, I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes." Luo Bai picked up the painting and examined it closely, filled with admiration.

Last night, while reviewing the team members' information, I read that Baiyun would draw by herself after training to calm herself down.

The Bai family children were not born blind, but mysteriously went blind on the day they came of age. Many people would be distraught on the day they went blind, just like the saying, "I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light."

She has a beautiful name - Baiyun (White Cloud).

Simple, tranquil, and detached from worldly affairs.

To prevent herself from having an emotional breakdown on a given day, Baiyun would do things to calm herself down, such as painting.

At first, Luo Bai refused to believe it.

Blind painters, like deaf pianists, make you want to argue: "I don't believe it!"

Luo Bai was one of them.

I have to inspect the goods today!

"Hey, look! She really finished the painting!" Luo Bai exclaimed, showing off her artwork to everyone like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden.

Not an abstract artist, not a soul painter, but a vibrant, colorful world like [Nopunk Zeami].

"Coach...please stop talking..." Bai Yun lowered her head, tugged at Luo Bai's clothes, her face completely flushed with embarrassment, her voice light and airy like clouds and smoke.

She seems uncomfortable showing herself off.

"It really looks good." Shu Yu'er nodded in agreement, then suddenly realized something and said, "Wait! You guys have been doing this all morning?"

Baiyun didn't dare to speak, but nodded to indicate that she was right.

"What else can you do in an hour?" Luo Bai muttered to himself as he examined the painting. "You guys came to me just to check up on me?"

Suddenly remembering something, he turned to look at Zhou Jiaping and the other two team members and questioned them, "I can understand the two of them coming to check up on us, but don't the three of you have training?"

“Uh—” Zhou Jiaping didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Luo Bai couldn't help but look puzzled: "Where are the others?"

“Everyone…” Zhou Jiaping took a deep breath and said, “Everyone else has collapsed.”

"Huh?" Luo Bai and Bai Yun were stunned, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.

"Did those beasts really go that far?!"

"Coach!" Zhou Jiaping's eyes darted around, and he quickly stopped him, "Watch your words, and address your seniors respectfully."

"Seniors?" Luo Bai paused, then realized that the team members must have been referring to those beasts as their seniors.

"So...you're asking me for medical expenses?"

“Of course not,” Zhou Jiaping waved his hand and said, “Our agent wants us to attend a meeting about this special training.”

“Okay,” Luo Bai nodded in agreement.

"Let me hear your report on the training results."

As soon as they finished speaking, the group rushed to the conference room.

The meeting room was simply furnished with a long table and thirty seats. There were four seats at each end, for the team captain, agent, coach, and dean, respectively.

The rest of the people sat in two long rows of seats.

The supervisors had no seats, so they leaned against the wall to listen in.

"Let's begin. What exactly is this special training? Does it cost money?" Agent Ye Jing asked first, her eyes fixed on Luo Bai.

"First of all, let me clarify that the team is currently facing a shortage of funds."

"When arranging a training plan, the budget needs to be considered."

Luo Bai felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at, his nerves tightened, and he forced himself to remain calm, saying, "I'm just arranging some powerful opponents for them."

"It's not a matter of how strong it is..." Binel muttered, keeping her head down and not daring to speak loudly.

"A formidable opponent?" Ye Jing had her own concerns. "Do you charge an appearance fee? Or is it based on your own connections?"

As an agent, her first consideration was the budget for this training program.

"Uh... I'll accept it!" Luo Bai said frankly.

"Huh?!" Ye Jing's eyes widened. "What's their background? How much does a training match cost?!"

Hiring people to play practice matches is not a bad thing; it's happened quite often before. As long as the budget is reasonable, 100,000 or 200,000 per match is acceptable.

"What's your background..." Luo Bai's expression darkened; this question truly silenced him.

I forgot to come up with an introduction for those beasts.

Duelist from Another World?

A strange old man from the deep mountains?

A hero driven by interest?

Not only the agent, but also Shu Yu'er and others turned their gazes over. Yi Lan, sitting on the left, was munching on potato chips, making the deathly quiet air crunch.

Damn, I'm getting hungry just listening to this.

“This…” Just as Luo Bai was stammering, a hurried voice came from the corridor.

【drop! 】

A beep came from the detector at the door. Jiang Shu rushed into the conference room, sat down at her seat, and gulped down a glass of water.

"Did you escape from the gates of hell?" Nanyang Ling stared at Jiang Shu, dumbfounded.

Jiang Shu ignored Nanyang Ling, swallowed hard, steadied her breathing, and turned to look at the four managers, her breath coming in gasps and her expression still somewhat flustered: "I... what I have to say..."

"Please don't be afraid..."

Luo Bai raised his hand and replied calmly, "I'm the coach..."

Yi Lan's expression suddenly turned cold, and she put away the potato chips: "I'm the dean..."

“We’re not afraid, you say.” (X2)

"I've encountered the [Dark Fluid]!" Jiang Shu's eyes widened, and his hands waved wildly.

Luo Bai took a deep breath and leaned back tactically: "Who is [Dark Fluid]?"

He knew two [Dark Fluids], and whichever one it was, they both seemed...too brutal.

"Not any one of them!" Jiang Shu explained, "It's that colorful Link5!"

好涩

"Link5?!" Ye Jing was suddenly startled, but the others were used to it and remained calm.

“Oh, [Colored Fluid],” Luo Bai said in realization.

Jiang Shu was taken aback: "No, it's called [Dark Fluid]."

"I understand, please continue." Luo Bai gently raised his hand, not wanting to argue further about the issue.

Jiang Shu took the water glass handed to him by Nan Yangling, took a sip, and began his vivid and engaging explanation.

Her acting is much better than Xia Yu's; her emotional delivery is spot-on.
