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

A. Quick-attack spell [Offering to the Dead]

B. Effect Monster [Nuclear Dragon, 3000/2500]

C. Common trap [electron overflow]

D. Standard Trap [Explosive Armor]

Their expressions were tense and focused; some frowned in thought, some rubbed their chins in contemplation, while others exchanged their opinions and speculations.

Some people agree with option A because they only know that a deadly attack can destroy a monster.

Others misread the question and thought that the correct answer was the Effect Monster [Nuclear Dragon] in option B, which could not only destroy effects but also destroy monsters in battle.

Option C, "Electron Overflow," is a very obscure card; few people have commented on it.

Option D is a card that most people are familiar with. When the opponent's monster declares an attack, you can destroy the attacking monster.

"Isn't this a C at first glance?" Luo Bai muttered to himself.

Biantana's professional duelists are formally employed, with assessments including written tests, interviews, and practical combat evaluations.

The Advanced Duelist Academy also uses this standard to assess new students, and the questions these people are doing are from previous years' exams.

This is considered quite difficult...

Each option does not come with a card effect, and recognizing card effects is also a test item. In actual professional duels, the card check button can only be pressed three to seven times.

"C?" The man doing the problem keenly heard Luo Bai's muttering and looked up at him with some surprise.

Do you recognize option C, "Electron Overflow"?

His large eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.

As soon as he said that, everyone else turned to look at him with curiosity.

"Ah, this..." Luo Bai didn't expect that his casual remark had been overheard, and his face turned somewhat embarrassed.

He took a deep breath and said, "Overflow effects destroy cards."

"What's the difference between that and ABD?" someone immediately objected.

Luo Bai spoke eloquently, just as he would when explaining things to a shop assistant: "Moonlight Sword Dancer Tiger Princess has resistance to targeting. A, B, and C are all targeting effects, so they can't be broken."

"Nuclear dragons can be destroyed in combat, but the question asks about effect destruction."

"Only [electronic overflow] is a card explosion that does not target the user."

As soon as the professional explanation was finished, the dozen or so people were stunned and dumbfounded, as if they had heard something incomprehensible.

Suddenly, someone had a flash of inspiration, their hands trembling wildly, stammering and unable to speak steadily, "Oh—okay...it seems there is such a test point, no...not taking a specific object."

A chorus of agreement gradually rose.

"I remember now..."

"I've had a private coach before, and this seems to be a high-level test point!"

For a level four fortress, not taking the target test point is indeed considered advanced.

As if testing everyone's guesses, the man taking the test pressed option C on the test paper, and the answer sheet flashed a green light.

Correct answer!

With a whoosh, a dozen people cast admiring yet ambiguous glances their way.

The crowd began to mutter amongst themselves, their voices a jumbled mess, their gazes shifting strangely.

"Such a professional and decisive answer..."

"Could he be a professional player?!"

"It could also be a private visit by college examiners."

Someone leaned close to their companion's ear, giving Luo Bai a sharp yet subtle glance, and tried their best to lower their voice.

"I actually saw it just now; he kept glancing at the other duels, but never lingered for more than five seconds..."

"It's very likely that he really is an examiner, secretly inspecting the trainees!"

"Quickly tell everyone that examiners have come to inspect the area ahead of time."

The suspicion that the academy examiners had conducted a preliminary inspection quickly spread throughout the card shop, spreading with great skill and secrecy, but it never reached Luo Bai's ears.

More and more people came to watch.

Luo Bai was startled, clearly sensing a strange change in the gazes of those around him.

The fighting spirit is surging!

It looked like they were going to gang rape him.

"Click!"

Just then, the shop door opened, and Melonica walked in. Seeing the strange gathering of people, she looked somewhat bewildered.

"Look, there's a beautiful woman!" Luo Bai shouted, pointing at her, trying to divert attention.

As a result, the candidates merely glanced at it, then turned their gaze back with a disdainful "tsk," and posed a chillingly profound question:

"Could you teach us?"

What does it mean to not choose a partner?

If you can solve this problem in Chapter 30, you're a professional gamer too.

"Everyone, let's talk this out."

Luo Bai looked at the crowd approaching like ferocious beasts, sweat beading on his forehead, and said timidly.

He had no doubt that he was about to be gang-raped.

It refers to taking turns dueling and taking turns teaching.

"Teacher, what exactly does it mean to not have a partner?" a female student, Xia Yu, blinked and asked with a smile.

Those sparkling eyes are incredibly cute.

"This..." Luo Bai was speechless for a moment. He really didn't know how to explain this concept.

"Oh~"

Luo Bai suddenly realized something and shouted fiercely at Xia Yu, "I'm going to hit you on the head!"

"Huh?" Xia Yu was stunned and quickly covered her head.

"Well, this is called selecting an object." Luo Bai explained to the curious crowd in a serious tone, "[Hit] is the effect, and [head] is the object."

“Choosing the right target can help prevent harm; for example, if she had covered her head just now, she could have avoided being hurt.”

Then, he turned to Xia Yu and suddenly shouted, "I'm going to hit you!"

"Huh?" Xia Yu was stunned again, her face blank, and she asked helplessly, "Where should I hit?"

"Well, this is called not specifying the target." Luo Bai turned to the curious crowd and explained, "[Hitting] is still the effect, but this time we don't specify the target."

"The advantage of not having a partner is that it's hard to defend yourself. If you cover your head, I'll grope your chest; if you cover your chest, I'll kick your groin."

"Oh~" everyone nodded in realization, "How insidious!"

Less than two seconds later, Xia Sheng, the man doing the problem, asked, "Then how do you distinguish whether or not an object is being targeted based on the card effect description?"

Without hesitation, Luo Bai replied, "Writing '[Target]' before 'Activate' means taking the effect of the target; otherwise, it means not taking the effect of the target."

"【Activate by targeting a card and destroy it】 and 【Activate by XXX and destroy a card】 have two different meanings."

The crowd nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"It really is!" Xia Sheng exclaimed, holding the tablet.

He just did a card check, and the card descriptions for 【Offering to the Dead】, 【Nuclear Dragon】, and 【Explosive Armor】 were indeed written with the 【Target】 before 【Activation】, while the target of 【Electronic Overflow】 was written after 【Activation】.

"Well... if there's nothing else..." Luo Bai retreated step by step, a polite but awkward smile on his face.

"Hehehe... I'm leaving now."

"Don't even think about running away!" Xia Yu suddenly grabbed his arm, turned to the crowd and asked in a daze, "Sisters, brother, did I do the right thing?"

"That's so true, sis!"

"Don't let him get away!"

"Sisters, drain him dry!"

It's so rare to meet a teacher/examiner, who might even be a professional player, how can we let him slip away so easily?

hiss...

Luo Bai gasped, feeling suffocated by the intensity of the passion.

"Teacher," Xia Sheng said, his brow furrowed and his voice tinged with melancholy, "if you're not in a rush, could you teach us?"

"We can crowdfund some compensation for you..."

"There's still so much that everyone doesn't understand; the admissions assessment is the day after tomorrow..."

The admissions process the day after tomorrow will be a "social recruitment" program, with most applicants being members of the general public who did not advance from the Intermediate Duelist Academy.

Most of the people in this shop are ordinary people who can't afford a private trainer.

The only way to pass the written exam is through rote memorization and practice questions.

If you don't have enough passion...

Given the rules of Yu-Gi-Oh!, it's really hard for it to go far.

"Sigh, alright... then." Luo Bai sighed, then smiled with relief, "Anyway, I don't have anything else to do."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..." Xia Sheng and Xia Yu, the siblings, hurriedly nodded and bowed, their eyes squinting as if they had found a treasure.

"Could you tell us about this bonus question?"

Xia Sheng pointed excitedly at the tablet and said in a loud voice.

The shouts of the duelists suddenly ceased.

In an instant, it attracted countless curious glances.
