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

"And all you have to answer me is yes or no. Is that difficult for you?"

"me..."

She really wanted to refute You Xian, or rebuke You Xian for using unknown means to harm her.

But she was also very clear that everything You Xian had just said was logical, and even the most shrewd critics could not find any problems with his three imperial edicts.

"Or do you think I have the ability to interfere in a dark duel?"

He half-knelt down and looked at the middle-aged woman who was still lying limp on the ground with disdain.

"..."

What he said was obviously impossible. Everyone knew that the power of the Dark Duel could not be violated. No one, whether human or card elf, could violate its rules.

The only thing that can influence it is itself.

"Now, in front of everyone, tell us your true answer."

"..."

The middle-aged woman's face had long lost its former confidence and composure. Tiny beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and deep anxiety was revealed between her wrinkles. Her eyes were wandering, revealing a hint of confusion and uneasiness, as if she had lost her direction.

Her lips trembled slightly as she tried to say something, but no sound came out.

Although she still wanted to continue to fight against herself and the power of the imperial decree, unfortunately, no matter how much she wanted to avoid these problems, she would only be forcibly controlled by the imperial decree, and then tell all the "truth" that Youxian needed.

"I...I have had contact with dark duelists recently. I have traded with dark duelists. I have had interactions with multiple dark duelist organizations recently."

"No, how is that possible? I obviously haven't... I haven't even seen any dark duelists."

After saying these words, Daphne finally collapsed completely, her pupils revealing endless confusion and despair.

The power of the decree is indeed absolute, but in this case, to use the decree, you should just give the correct answer. Why...

However, no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure out when she had come into contact with the Dark Duelist and had a deal with him.

Unfortunately, no matter what the answer was, and no matter when she came into contact with the dark duelist, her life was over.

Even if she could escape this time, the Duelist Council would not let her go. Her greatest backer and trump card could only become the Five Finger Mountain that came to suppress her. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be crushed to death by this mountain.

For You Xian, this was a gamble that she was sure to win from the very beginning. The moment she fell into You Xian's control, it was destined to be this outcome.

Daphne certainly didn't know why she was forced to admit the "evidence" by the imperial decree. Even before the imperial decree came into effect, she always believed that she was "innocent" and had never colluded with or come into contact with dark duelists.

However, as a matter of fact, she did come into contact with two dark duelists, Sophia and Youxian (Tiera), and tried to trade with the dark duelist (Tiera), and had contact with multiple people (Sophia and Tiera), so she certainly could not deny all of this in the Dark Duel Order.

Of course, in order to achieve this, Youxian did some tricks, otherwise everything would not have been so smooth.

First of all, the command of the Dark Duel is determined based on the cognition of both parties during the question-and-answer process, rather than simply based on the cognition of the party on whom the command is exercised.

That is to say, Youxian, the person who used the imperial decree, now knows the fact of "Daphne and the Dark Duelist", so he has a certain ability to judge whether what the other party says is true or false. In this way, Daphne cannot "fool" Youxian with the answer she thinks is "correct".

Under this premise, since Daphne's answer of 'no' would conflict with the facts confirmed by Youxian, she could not give the answer of 'no', and since she did not know that she had done these things and could not admit 'yes', she could only remain silent and enter a downtime state, which would last until the power of the command ended.

But if this alone is not enough, You Xian needs her to personally admit her "crime" rather than simply remain silent.

So after he "captured" Daphne, he directly used sleeping tea to send her to sleep, and then whispered to the sleeping person's ear that he was also a dark duelist.

Of course, Daphne herself couldn't remember this, but Youxian's command was enough to force her body to "remember" the fact that she had come into contact with a dark duelist.

Of course, You Xian also considered the situation where the imperial edict was not enough to achieve this, so he also prepared an alternative plan.

That is, if Daphne still hasn't made any "move" after a while, Youxian will use his own hand to write the words "I am the Dark Duelist" on Daphne's palm. Since Daphne knows Youxian's identity as a dark duelist, she must admit under the power of the decree that she has had contact with the dark duelist.

Of course, this is a more risky plan. Fortunately, You Xian's Plan 1 has already arranged everything for her clearly, so she doesn't have to think about it anymore.

So under You Xian's calculations, this unlucky guy, after struggling with the imperial decree and his body for a long time, finally had to admit that he had taken the blame that fell from the sky.

As a result, the entire Shenghua became completely boiling.

Who would have thought that what You Xian said was true, that this guy really had collusion with the Dark Duelists. If even the review team that was responsible for the review had problems, how many stains did the entire Duelist Council hide?

Just thinking about it makes me feel funny.

Even Iris in the audience fell into deep thought. She was also worried about the increasing number of traitors among the Dark Duelists. The chairman of the board of directors of the Super Institute was her acknowledged identity, so she had to consider the Super Institute and its students.

At least, the duelist crisis incident that happened last time must never happen again.

Sophia looked at You Xian, who was still speaking impassionedly on the stage, with a strange expression on her face. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there was something hidden in this matter.

Or maybe this is a complete scam...

Ever since Sophia made up her mind to investigate Youxian, she immediately started looking for Youxian's past deeds. Although a large part of it was blank, Sophia could tell from the visible part that Youxian was not an easy person to deal with.

He seemed to enjoy using all kinds of lies to trick his opponents, or using various information gaps to achieve his own goals, and others even had to thank him after he did this.

If you think about it carefully, those scenes are very similar to this one, even the frustrated and desperate look of the 'villain' is exactly the same.

"Perhaps I still don't know enough about him. The secret he has been hiding from me may be in a blank part of his information."

Miss Sophia picked up the small notebook and frantically recorded all the information she had obtained in the past few days. Her heart became more and more subtle.

The camera returned to the stage. You Xian ignored the distraught woman. The man who had just performed a series of bug-free operations now looked calmly at the teachers and students present:

"Our opening ceremony has ended, and our school-wide competition will officially begin next."

"Using a Grandmaster-level duel to mark the opening of a tournament, I think there has never been such a luxurious opening ceremony. I believe this will be a good sign."

“No matter what the final result is or who the final winner is, I hope everyone can grow from this game.”

Although this is what he said, in fact, both Youxian and the students are very clear that only those who can still stand on the duel stage in the end have the ability to be looked at differently by Youxian.

The so-called "participation is important" is ultimately just words to comfort oneself.

"In this competition, all duelists who advance to the quarterfinals will receive additional guidance from my dead man in addition to basic rewards."

"I know this isn't a very tempting extra reward, but supplies in Shenghua are still too scarce right now, so I can't share anything good with you."

Youxian really didn't lie about this point. He did get a lot of powerful decks and single cards during this period of time, but even if we don't mention that those cards would most likely expose Youxian's pseudonym and that they were Youxian's personal belongings, even in terms of quantity, they were far from enough.

Although Shenghua is still the duel academy with the smallest number of students today, its total number of students is still a terrifying astronomical figure. If the cards in Youxian's hand are thrown into the entire duel academy, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

However, the students below were not disappointed at all by You Xian's words.

Due to a variety of reasons, these people's attitude towards You Xian became more and more enthusiastic.

They might not have been so friendly to Youxian at first, but now...

That's their chairman! He's the one who can most likely defeat all the chairmen of the Duel Academy! If everything goes well, maybe their chairman will be promoted to the Duel King one day.

Not to mention teaching, even having private contact with such a person for a period of time is enough to make people feel excited.

"No, Chairman, you have done enough! Please guide us!"

"Savior! Chairman, we understand Shenghua's current situation very well. We are not greedy people."

Wow, there are still many good people in this world.

Looking at the students below, You Xian, who was standing in front of Daphne, smiled and admired secretly.

I think these people wanted to force me to step down, but now it seems... I'm afraid these people will be angry with whoever wants me to step down.

It’s a pity that You Xian doesn’t have that much time to interact with these students today.

He straightened his collar slightly, cleared his throat and continued:

"Well, that's about it for today. I declare that the campus duel competition will begin from now on. Next, I will hand over our stage to the host of this event."

As he said this, You Xian gestured slightly with his eyes towards the distance above, and soon several people in black uniforms appeared on the stage.

Without waiting for You Xian's instructions, they very consciously lifted Daphne from the ground. Then they would arrange Daphne to a "suitable" place according to You Xian's previous request, and wait for You Xian to come and "deal with" her personally.

It just so happened that You Xian also wanted to interrogate this guy why he targeted Shenghua, whether it was she herself or someone in the Duelist Council who targeted her.

If it was the former, You Xian had successfully resolved the crisis, but if it was the latter, his actions today would probably only lead to more violent retaliation. Who knows if the existence hidden behind the scenes would go crazy on the spot after losing so many master-level duelists.

In fact, You Xian originally wanted to say a few more words. After all, such opportunities to brainwash students don’t come often.

But just now, You Xian could clearly feel his pocket vibrating very regularly, which was one of the 'communication codes' that You Xian had set in advance.

As long as his pocket vibrates according to a certain pattern, he can immediately know who is trying to contact him, and judge the importance of the call without people around him noticing.

In the past, Firkin would usually use this method to find Youxian when he encountered a problem, and would hand over his difficult tasks to him to avoid missing Youxian's important matters.

It can only be said that Firkin is worthy of being You Xian's most successful subordinate. Even though You Xian didn't give him much instructions, he always managed to handle everything clearly.

As for some things that he could not touch with his authority, he would definitely not be curious about them. He would just follow You Xian's orders and do them.

But this time the call was not from Filkin but from... the dark duelist that Youxian had just met not long ago, the Bald Eagle.

In order to achieve better cooperation, You Xian exchanged contact information with the bald eagle when she left, and agreed to notify the other party as soon as any situation occurred.

Just last night, Sophia had obviously discovered the existence of the bald eagle, but she had no intention of exposing it directly at that time. She just used some means to "teach" the bald eagle a lesson and then left You Xian's room.

Of course, before leaving, she still hinted at You Xian, telling him, "The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie, and this is especially true for dark duelists. Don't be fooled by those beautiful women."

You Xian did not respond to this, but at least he appeared to agree on the surface.

But Sophia obviously didn't care what You Xian thought, and what she said when she left was truly completely well-intentioned.

As a dark duelist, she has seen too many duelists fall due to being deceived. Although she is also the leader of the dark duelists, she does not want Youxian to take this bumpy path.

"Ah? Is it about to open?"

Miss Iris, who had no idea what was happening in secret, tilted her head and looked at You Xian who was gradually moving away, and sighed softly.

===================Dividing line==================

The atmosphere of the closed classroom was filled with the sedimentation of time. The old wooden tables and chairs were neatly arranged, but they had obviously not been used for many years. The walls of the room had faded their original color, leaving a light layer of dust, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

The closed classroom was in darkness, with the only source of light coming from a tall window, which cast a mysterious spot of light in the corner of the room. The chalk writing on the wall had become blurred, as if covered by melancholy poems. The curtains swayed in the breeze, as if a ghost had quietly arrived, bringing a dull loneliness.

In front of these words, a man in an ordinary suit is standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes staring straight ahead with a slightly empty look, as if he wants to see through the rings of time through these mottled words.

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from behind Youxian:

"Ahem, can't you choose a better place? Why do you have to choose this location?"

When she said this, there seemed to be a hint of disgust in her words.

"This is a good place. In a way, it's safer than my room."

Without turning around, You Xian looked towards the blackboard: "At least, it is absolutely impossible for a cabinet to suddenly appear here, and for a Sophia to run out of the cabinet."

"I don't want to hear that woman's name!"

"Well, it seems you have a big prejudice against her."

You Xian turned around and looked at the white-haired girl not far from him: "So, did you find any interesting clues when you came to me today? Dear Miss Bald Eagle."

The girl who appeared in front of You Xian was indeed the girl he had met not long ago.

But unlike her night clothes, she was now wearing a neat student uniform, with her skirt swaying lightly with her steps. The white pantyhose fit her slender calves, showing a perfect line.

Her white hair was like silver threads, shining with pure brilliance under the light. On the girl's shoulder was still hanging the violin case filled with the "relics" of the Ritual Academy.

In response to Yuxian's direct question, Bald Eagle paused for a moment and then nodded:

"There are definitely clues, but I'm not sure if it's related to that."

"Tell me."

Bald Eagle hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke before Youxian became impatient: "I discovered that I am not the only member of this academy who follows the wind."

"A person codenamed Ostrich seems to have been hiding in this place. She or he has been monitoring me for a long time."

"According to the information I know, there are a total of six cadres in Suifeng Piaopiaoyou, including the leader. Robin, Bald Eagle, Toucan, Ostrich, Emperor Penguin, Snow Owl. Apart from the Toucan who has already rebelled, this Ostrich is the cadre I am least familiar with."

"Other than that?"

"Besides that, she/he seems to have sensed something and has suddenly become active recently. I suspect she/he has determined that I will not continue the mission, so she wants to complete the mission that belongs to me."

"That is to kidnap you from Shenghua."

"Kidnap me?"

"To be more precise, they are kidnapping you and taking you to the old site of the Ritual Academy..."

Chapter 186: All members are inside

In the dusty classroom, You Xian's conversation with the bald eagle continued.

Although one of them is a member of the Dark Duelist Organization and the other is the chairman of the Duel Academy, their conversation seemed extremely harmonious and there was no awkwardness at all.

This was especially true after Bald Eagle mentioned that someone was going to kidnap You Xian.
