Dark Duel, as the chairman, I have no choice but to take part in it myself!

"If my target was you, I would not have appeared in front of you. I know that your strength has surpassed most directors. If I challenged you, I would be the only one who would most likely lose."

"It would be absolutely foolish to attack you under this premise."

After using a short paragraph to criticize a large number of dark duelists that Youxian had beaten up in the past, the girl continued to speak to Youxian:

"So, I will only appear when you are at your weakest and give you an attack that you cannot resist at all. Just like when you first defeated the girl named Eleanor."

There seemed to be a hint of regret in her tone when she said this.

At that time, You Xian used a deck called [Pearl Tears Elegy Clan] to defeat the girl during the live broadcast, and that was also the first time You Xian had a duel in public.

Unlike those at the scene who were still marveling at the strength of the Pearl Tears Elegy Tribe, although You Xian was well disguised at the time, the battle-hardened bald eagle still discovered You Xian's weakness.

It didn't seem like a disease, but more like a sign that both the body and the mind had reached their limits. It was like a stay-at-home who never exercised was suddenly ordered to run 4,000 meters. Even if he managed to hold on, he would basically collapse.

Not only that, the bald eagle also discovered that Youxian's weakness obviously appeared after the duel ended, and his condition was normal before the duel began.

Therefore, the weakness that appeared in Youxian must be due to that duel, or perhaps it was something like a sequelae.

At that time, she felt that she had found a weakness of the chairman, which might be able to be used as a breakthrough.

But out of caution, she did not choose to act rashly at the time, but instead sought to further observe You Xian's situation and formulate a plan.

After all, she knew too little about Youxian. She was not sure whether Youxian's weakness would affect the progress of the dark duel, or whether there were other duelists hiding around Youxian who might affect her plan.

If an unexpected situation arises, she will most likely fall directly on this person.

Besides, there was no time limit for this mission, so it would be no problem for her to catch fish in this academy for several months or even a year.

If necessary, she can stay by the target's body for 24 hours after killing him to prevent the target from being fully dead.

But she didn't expect that it was really her last chance, and she never encountered such a good opportunity again after that.

Since then, You Xian, the chairman of the board, has been out every few days, and the time he has spent in Shenghua can only be described as pitiful. And every time he returns to the academy, Firkin is always with him, making it extremely difficult to take action against him.

As for his movements, they can only be described as elusive. Not to mention catching him in person, even finding his location is extremely difficult.

Despite this, the bald eagle was not discouraged. She firmly believed that as long as she was a human, she would reveal her flaws sooner or later. All she had to do was wait for the flaw to appear and then deliver a fatal blow.

However...an unexpected incident changed everything and even made her give up her original plan.

Recalling everything she had seen in Shenghua, the girl closed her eyes tightly and then suddenly opened them again:

"I came here this time because I want to cooperate with you on something."

"?"

You Xian was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the bald eagle would do this to him.

"Let me ask you, you want to cooperate with me as your 'mission target'? What do you want to cooperate with? It's not to destroy Shenghua, right? I'm not that boring."

Although he said this, You Xian had no intention of putting away his duel disk. He still looked like he was ready to duel with the bald eagle at any time.

To be honest, he felt that this was a familiar pattern. For example, the Shul and the Shining Gathering of the Transcendental Academy and the Pritzer and the Shining Gathering of the Synchronic Academy probably started in the same way.

They said they were cooperating, but in the end they were sold out by the Dark Duelist Organization.

Anyway, You Xian is planning to follow in the footsteps of these people.

"No, we are investigating the truth behind the destruction of the Ritual Academy."

"...?"

Seeing that You Xian was still confused, she was not surprised. A dark duelist who had been trying to attack her suddenly began to care about a duel academy that had been destroyed for a long time, and took the initiative to find her and ask for cooperation.

This would be strange no matter who it happened to, right?

But it doesn't matter, she came prepared this time. If she wants to cooperate, she must break Youxian's concerns and give him a reason to trust her.

Under You Xian's strange and curious gaze, the bald eagle put down the violin case on his back.

"Bald Eagle is not my real name, and my original identity is not a Dark Duelist."

As she spoke, she carefully opened the piano case. It looked like she was not simply opening a piano case, but rather treating an extremely precious treasure.

And what was placed in the case was not a violin, but some strange "odd things".

Among them were badges similar to the one Youxian had received from Firkin before, as well as several documents sealed in transparent bags and seals of strange shapes that were also sealed.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the core member badges in the box, You Xian also saw something very familiar - the chairman's badge, or the chairman's badge of the Ritual Academy.

Without waiting for You Xian to speak, Bald Eagle took out the documents sealed in the bag and placed them in front of You Xian.

"I, Novia, am one of the candidates for the last acting chairman of the Ritual Academy. If I follow the regular process, there is a high probability that I will take the position of chairman of the Ritual Academy."

"But before I performed the ceremony, the Ritual Academy suffered a devastating disaster, which directly led to a huge deviation in my life."

As she said this, she sighed as if in anger and grief:

"Yes, it was destroyed by an unknown force, just like Shenghua in the past."

"And unlike the more powerful Shenghua, the Ritual Academy failed to survive the catastrophe. It has since completely become history."

"In that disaster, most of the duelists at the Ritual Academy died, the students fled, and the chairman disappeared. In the end, all that was left of the Ritual Academy were the silent buildings and the bodies of the duelists."

Although the bald eagle's expression had not changed since it appeared, she still closed her eyes in pain when she said this.

The catastrophe at the Ritual Academy was a complete nightmare for her, and even now she has not been able to wake up from the dream.

Although many years had passed, she recalled those years countless times in her dreams, recalled the powerless self, and finally woke up in the middle of the night when she was about to be executed.

Every time this happened, she would start to blame herself, blaming herself for her cowardice and weakness.

After a brief pause and calming down, she continued:

"I was still very young at that time. It was difficult for me to even escape from the Ritual Academy, let alone save it."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will die there like the other duelists from the Ritual Academy and become a burial object for the Ritual Academy."

"But, the emperor penguin who swam with the wind appeared. He/she rescued me from the chaos and took me in."

Hearing this, You Xian raised his eyebrows:

"So you joined that floating-with-the-wind tour?"

The experience of this bald eagle was unexpectedly tortuous, or even miserable. However, this did not affect the way You Xian treated this person. As long as he believed that the existence of the bald eagle was an unforgivable crime, he would never show any mercy.

There are still too many unforgivable villains among the Dark Duelists. Even people like Sophia and Filkin can be said to be rare.

Bald Eagle knew what You Xian was thinking, but she nodded anyway.

"Yes, that's why I joined that organization and got the title of Bald Eagle."

"After joining the Suifeng Piaopiao Tour, I have been trying to find out the truth about the Ritual Academy over the years."

"To be able to destroy the entire Duel Academy, the invading force must be extremely powerful. Moreover, since there are so many people involved in this incident, the relevant clues cannot be too difficult to find."

You Xian vaguely guessed something and added with a smile:

“But you don’t gain anything.”

"Yes, I didn't get anything. Even though I used all the power and connections I could, I still couldn't find any relevant clues."

"It's a very bizarre situation, but it happened."

"I can only expand the search area and start investigating similar incidents. Maybe I can find some relevant clues while investigating these things."

"The reason why I accepted the mission of kidnapping you is because I wanted to find clues related to the attack that year from you and Shenghua."

"After all, Shenghua has also encountered such a catastrophe in the past."

After listening to Novia's explanation, You Xian immediately asked back:

"So this is why you have been slacking off in Shenghua for so long."

This guy is obviously addicted to slacking off. The reason why he hasn't taken any action on himself is probably largely because he wants to delay for a while to slack off.

"..."

The girl, whose secret was guessed, looked away awkwardly. Seeing that You Xian's expression was still weird, she had to change the subject again.

"This matter is not important. Anyway, I found something wrong recently."

"For example?"

At this point, You Xian's interest had actually been aroused.

The main reason for Shenghua's decline was indeed the invasion of dark duelists a few years ago.

At that time he had not yet joined Shenghua, so he did not experience the disaster personally.

Afterwards, he also specifically investigated the matter, but just like the situation with the bald eagle, he could only find no relevant information.

If possible, You Xian still wanted to take back all the things that were looted during the catastrophe. It was said that Shenghua’s loss at that time was not a small number.

Moreover, he had promised Fu Jing that he would assist her in investigating the matter.

However, even Youxian himself did not expect that someone from the Dark Duelist Organization would take the initiative to help him complete the task before he even started investigating. This actually saved Youxian a lot of work.

After hesitating for a while, Novia finally spoke out a guess that she had been holding in her heart:

"I suspect that this incident has something to do with the floating wind tour."

"..."

"Then it has something to do with you, doesn't it? You mean that the people who followed the wind invaded the Ritual Academy and destroyed it, and then took you, the remnant of the Ritual Academy, away to train?"

"In that case, isn't the emperor penguin you mentioned the first suspect? Didn't you just say that the emperor penguin saved you from the Ritual Academy when you were about to be killed?"

"This also matches what you said about floating in the wind."

His home was destroyed, his relatives and friends were killed, but he was taken away by the enemy and trained as a subordinate without knowing it. Then one day he found out that the person who had adopted him and kept him alive until now was the one who killed his relatives and destroyed his home.

What a bitter and deep storyline...

"No...I believe the emperor penguin was not involved in that incident."

Although he said this, both You Xian and Bald Eagle himself could hear the uncertainty and insincerity in his tone.

Obviously, even the bald eagle himself doesn't believe this.

However, for the bald eagle, it is indeed very difficult for her to accept that the person who raised her is her enemy who wiped out her family. This is human nature.

As if hypnotizing himself, the bald eagle quickly added:

"Although the emperor penguin is the apparent leader of Suifeng Piaopiaoyou, based on my long-term investigation results, this organization is likely to have a hidden real leader."

"His or her code name is Snow Owl. Apart from the Emperor Penguin, very few people in Suifeng Piaopiaoyou know this person. And the Emperor Penguin seems to have to follow his/her orders."

“So, I think it’s very likely that the Snowy Owl is the one who truly controls the wind-blown swimming.”

Although he wanted to complain about Snow Owl's management of Emperor Qi, You Xian at least appeared to be analyzing the current situation seriously to the girl:

"But, even if this Snow Owl really exists, it is impossible that the Snow Owl is the only one who knows about such a big thing as invading the Ritual Academy, right?"

"Even if Emperor Penguin, the apparent controller, did not participate in this operation, he at least knew about it. And I doubt whether this Snow Owl is really capable of threatening the Ritual Academy alone."

"That's an entire Duel Academy. Even the Shining Gathering arranged countless insiders in advance when they took action, and spent a lot of time planning before they were basically close to success."

"Even so, the Shining Assembly is using the dragon seal that already exists in the Synchro Academy to try to destroy the Duel Academy through indirect means."

"If we talk about Snow Owl himself..."

"You're going to defeat the entire Duel Academy by yourself, right?"

Having said that, You Xian smiled at the person in front of him again, as if mocking her self-deception.

The main reason why the Overpowered Academy fell at that time was because the chairman Shul chose to be a traitor. Otherwise, it would have been more than twice as difficult for The Shining Assembly to take advantage of the situation.

The reason why the Synchronic Academy's Shining Assembly was able to successfully crystallize was because the Synchronic Academy itself had already started internal strife. Under such circumstances, being invaded was not a strange thing.

Of course, Novia understood what Youxian said, but she still had other ideas:

"No, Snow Owl certainly can't do such a thing alone. In fact, even the current Suifeng Piaopiaoyou can't do it, and there is no evidence to prove that Suifeng Piaopiaoyou was directly involved in the invasion of the Ritual Academy."

"Do you think it just provided some kind of help, or simply knew some intelligence?"

"..."

The bald eagle didn't intend to answer, which probably meant he agreed.

Of course she knew how unlikely her guess was, but at this time she could only believe in the last possibility for the time being.

If "Sui Feng Piaopiaoyou" itself was a complete lie, then her life would be too tragic.

"Okay, let me ask you another question."

"You probably came to me because you found something and want my help to dig out more clues, or to find the truth directly."
