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

"I understand. I will help you. But before that, I have a plan."

Touching his chin, You Xian, who already had some ideas in his mind, spoke calmly.

"From now on, I am Mr. Ostrich who swims with the wind. Now that I have completed my mission, I plan to go directly to the leader, the Emperor Penguin, to report my work."

"Huh? This?"

"Don't worry, I will arrange everything, including 'Shenghua Chairman You Xian'. Everything will go smoothly according to the script."

"Mr. Emperor Penguin will definitely receive a great gift this late autumn. No... maybe it's more than just one gift."

A smile finally appeared on You Xian's face. People who knew him knew that this meant he was about to start causing trouble.

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

While the Shenghua Duel Tournament was in full swing, their chairman had disappeared without anyone noticing.

However, since You Xian's whereabouts have always been elusive and he doesn't stay in Shenghua most of the time, the students of Shenghua have become more or less used to it.

Those who noticed You Xian's disappearance thought he was just going out to cause trouble as part of his "routine work", so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, their invincible chairman will surely return like lightning before the end of the duel competition, and maybe he will do something big somewhere by then - after all, that's what You Xian did before.

Therefore, under the hosting of Firkin and Fujing, the competition is still going on, without being affected by Youxian's disappearance at all.

However, there was one person who didn't think so. Not only did she not completely put the matter behind her, but she became very nervous.

In a warm yet monotonous room, a white-haired girl, also known as the Bald Eagle, was pacing anxiously in the room.

"No way... Does the ostrich really have that kind of strength? The chairman of Shenghua is simply not an opponent that a master-level duelist can handle."

"But it seems that dueling is really hard to say. Although strength is very important, luck is also very important in a duel."

"What if Yuxian really fails because of bad luck? There is no deck in this world that never gets stuck..."

She glanced at her phone again, as if wanting to confirm something, and carefully read the message that was sent to her with a string of garbled characters.

'Ostrich has completed the task of capturing Chairman Shenghua, please return immediately.'

The information is correct and the sender's source is also correct. This is indeed a message from the emperor penguin, the leader of Suifengpiaopiaoyou.

This means that the ostrich has indeed caught Youxian, and the emperor penguin has confirmed it. Maybe the ostrich has not yet brought Youxian to the old site of the Ritual Academy, but it will probably not be long.

"No, we can't go on like this! We must act immediately! Youxian is my last resort to investigate what happened at the Ritual Academy. Without his help, I have no way to start. And the person who can destroy the Ritual Academy must be extremely powerful. I have to borrow his strength and power."

"Besides...after all, he probably got into an accident because of what I said about the ostrich. I can't just leave it alone."

"But... who can rescue him from the floating wind?"

Inexplicably, two figures slowly emerged in her mind.

If it were them, they might really be able to lend a helping hand, and they are also the presidents of the Duel Academy and must have enough power to save You Xian.

Chapter 188: Isn’t this the fiancée whose home was stolen?

The bedroom windows were blocked by thick curtains, and the faint morning light shone through the curtains onto the floor, lightly moistening the slightly chilly room.

On this cool autumn day, a young girl is sitting in front of a dressing table where light and shadow intersect, as if she were a Rembrandt painting.

Her black hair danced in a light rhythm, and her makeup was delicate and unobtrusive, like a noble woman of the Renaissance, exuding a unique elegance.

Sophia was the name of the girl, and at such a young age she had already become a big shot, the chairman of the board of directors of the Duel Academy.

At this time, she was habitually putting on light makeup, and then went to monitor the inexplicable chairman of Shenghua according to her "routine".

Although she didn't know what the guy was hiding, her intuition told her that this matter was very important.

Sophia is the type of person who, once she decides on something, will do it no matter what. This can be considered as her "obsession", which naturally includes investigating the "truth" concealed by You Xian.

Although in fact she has more important tasks - such as finding Tiera from the Evil Church in the previous life and trying to get her to help resurrect Alesshat.

However, ever since the incident at the Synchronicity Academy ended, the World Ruined Church has not sent her any messages, nor has there been any sign of holding a gathering.

But Sophia absolutely didn't believe that the World Ruined Church was destroyed. Even if nothing else was said, Tiera of the World Ruined Church had an outrageous power. If compared, even the pale dragon that broke the seal in the Synchronicity Academy couldn't compare to it.

Therefore, it is impossible for such a person to be defeated easily. Most likely, something happened and they were delayed, or Tiera thought there was no need to summon them for the time being.

At this moment, the appearance of a person suddenly broke the silence in Sophia's room.

"Something happened! Something happened to your man!"

A white-haired girl forced open Sophia's door while shouting strange words.

And perhaps because she had just experienced intense exercise, the girl looked a little disheveled at the moment.

"?"

"What do you mean my man? Where did I get my man?"

For a moment, Sophia was confused by this bald eagle that appeared out of nowhere.

What the hell? How did he suddenly become "my man"? She, Sophia, had been a soloist since she was a child. She had never even held hands with a man, let alone a romantic partner.

Oh, she did try to grab Aleshat's hand to save him, but it was too late, so she didn't touch him then.

Seeing that Sophia was puzzled, the bald eagle might have thought that Sophia was covering up, so he immediately said:

"You Xian, the chairman of Shenghua, isn't he your man?"

"Are you awake? Why do you have such thoughts?"

"Then why did you hide in someone's closet? Wasn't it to catch someone cheating? Although it would be a bit strange to catch someone cheating with their fiancée."

The bald eagle widened its eyes and stared blankly at Miss Sophia who denied it, as if it was completely unable to understand Sophia's thoughts.

"..."

"Of course not, and you know a little too much."

Although she looked at the bald eagle unkindly, Sophia did not continue to dwell on this issue.

Just now she seemed to have heard something interesting from the bald eagle's mouth.

"When you said something happened just now, did you mean something happened to You Xian? What happened to him?"

To be honest, Sophia didn't think anything would happen to someone like You Xian. It wasn't because of any other reason, she simply believed in his strength.

Sophia is one of the people who knows Youxian the best. She knows very well that when he was in the Ultra Academy, it was Youxian who faced the dark duelist of the Shining Gathering alone and seemed to have defeated him easily.

After that, You Xian went on a killing spree in the Synchro Academy, just like the famous detective Lu Bu, killing all the people from the Shining Assembly.

He first killed the Super Disk General Shul, then severely injured the president of the Shining Assembly, and then subdued a giant dragon that looked extremely terrifying. Compared with him, Sophia herself was nothing.

If the people in the Shining Assembly had not finally chosen to evacuate, this group of people would definitely have fallen into You Xian's hands.

What a joke! It would be more credible to say that he is actually a dark duelist. After all, the guy's operation does seem a little abnormal, so it makes sense for him to have a side job.

As for Youxian's disappearance... maybe that guy wanted to escape his "surveillance" so he suddenly ran away, which might prove that there was something very wrong with him. He went to such lengths to hide that little secret, which could no longer be described as suspicious.

At this moment, Sophia's door was suddenly opened again, and a girl with the same long black hair but a smaller bust than Sophia walked in from outside.

"I just received news that our people from the Ultra Academy accidentally discovered that Youxian was captured by the Dark Duelist... Wait, who are you?"

Iris, who was a little anxious at first, was stunned after noticing the bald eagle in Sophia's room. She had never seen such a person in Shenghua, and since he could stay with Sophia, he must be Sophia's confidant or a senior official of Shenghua.

"..."

"She is my maid, her name is 'Arianna', who is responsible for taking care of my daily life." What did you just say, Youxian was captured by the Dark Duelist?"

Subconsciously, Sophia pulled the bald eagle behind her and helped the bald eagle find an identity that sounded plausible - there was no need to let Iris know the bald eagle's true identity, and keeping this secret might be useful in the future.

However...Miss Bald Eagle doesn't seem to be willing to accept the offer.

"Ah? Isn't this the Miss Fiancée whose home was stolen? I just happened to be looking for you, that's great! Your fiancé was kidnapped, and I was calling his woman to help!"

That's right, judging from the situation when she turned into a chair and peeped, Sophia, Iris and Youxian's relationship was very abnormal. Apart from anything else, how could a girl run to a man's bedroom in the middle of the night?

If you think about the law that there is no pure friendship between men and women...then there is only one answer!

These three must be a love triangle, they are having an affair with each other!

"???"

"?"

"I think we'll have a lot to talk about when this is over, Miss Arianna."

"What you just said is very, very interesting."

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

The Ritual Academy, or rather the former site of the Ritual Academy, was not too far from Shenghua. It did not take You Xian long to reach its gate even without riding a dragon.

The entrance to this once busy college is now deserted. The iron bars of the gate have rusted, and the graffiti on the door has become blurred. The huge "city gate" is half open, as if welcoming visitors from behind. The steps in front of the door are deeply imprinted by the weathering of time. The entire college looks particularly decadent from any angle.

"This is the next 'playground'."

You Xian, who played the ostrich, took out a pocket watch from his suit pocket, opened the flip, took a look at the subtle angle on it, and then put it back to its original place.

You Xian did not let the real ostrich follow him, but he did not simply forget about this person. For now, You Xian arranged a job for him which he thought was very suitable. In the future, this Mr. Ostrich might be able to help You Xian himself.

Of course, in order to make his role realistic enough, You Xian also specially prepared a captured "self" to fool the emperor penguin and Suifeng Piaopiaoyou's trading partner.

Perhaps because You Xian's escort car was too conspicuous, two men came up to him as soon as he arrived at the gate of the academy.

They waited until You Xian got off the car and immediately said respectfully:

"Mr. Ostrich, the Emperor Penguin leader is already waiting for you in the ruins. You can go find him anytime."

Nodding slightly, You Xian, who disguised himself as an ostrich, had no intention of speaking back. This "weather-beaten" man just glanced coldly at the person who contacted him, and then directly entered the towering buildings from a passage on the side.

"Mr. Ostrich, does the chairman of Shenghua need..."

The person who came to greet him wanted to say something else, but facing You Xian's cold gaze, he quickly lowered his eyelids, not daring to look him in the eye again.

"I overstepped my bounds."

"Humph."

Retracting his gaze, the man escorting his 'prisoner' slowly passed through the narrow passage ahead and continued forward towards his 'subordinates' who came to greet him.

It can be regarded as officially entering this duel academy forgotten by the world.

Judging from the description of the task, You Xian only needs to send 'himself' to the interior of the Ritual Academy to complete the task, but considering other factors, You Xian certainly cannot be so careless.

For example, he had to at least bring 'himself' to meet the emperor penguin, so that at least he could prove that he had indeed brought back the 'Chairman of Shenghua', and it would also be convenient for him to continue to implement the plan later.

The identity of the ostrich was quite useful until it was actually exposed by the emperor penguin - at least there were a lot of tools willing to accept his orders.

According to the information provided by his "subordinates", if You Xian wants to find the emperor penguin, he only needs to go to the basement of the third teaching building of the Ritual Academy. The emperor penguin is temporarily using it as a temporary base.

Of course, they also mentioned one other thing specifically.

According to what those people said, "Sir, please do not enter the room directly when you meet the Emperor Penguin Leader. According to the Emperor Penguin Leader's order, everyone can only talk to him outside the door."

Well, according to You Xian’s understanding, this emperor penguin might have a social phobia attack, so it doesn’t dare to have any contact with people at all.

This is understandable. In Youxian's original world, some people are afraid even to talk to girls. Mr./Ms. Emperor Penguin is at most their ultimate enhanced version. They are the type who will immediately become autistic when seeing strangers.

Although the Ritual Academy was now filled with all kinds of monsters, Youxian's journey was surprisingly peaceful. I don't know if it was because the Ritual Academy was too big, so I didn't run into any monsters, or if everyone was hiding in the dark playing games and didn't come out to hang out, anyway, Youxian still arrived at his destination smoothly.

Although it was a basement, the one in front of You Xian felt more like a garage. However, the garage had become dilapidated due to the carving of time.

Using a cart to bring 'himself' to the basement door, the old-fashioned man in formal attire slowly approached the door made of blue steel plates, which was the entrance to the basement.

After a brief pause, You Xian knocked on the rolling door.

"Chief, I'm back."

There was a little hoarseness in his voice, but it was still clearly the sound of an ostrich.

Perhaps because of the loose organization, the Dark Duelists above the Suifeng Piaopiaoyou cadre level do not show special respect to their leader, the Emperor Penguin.

Although they still addressed him as 'leader', their tone and attitude tended to treat the Emperor Penguin as a being slightly stronger than them rather than the supreme leader of the Dark Duelist Organization.

This may also be because Emperor Penguin basically does not duel in front of outsiders, which makes him lack authority within the organization.

Therefore, You Xian must also pay attention to this point when playing the ostrich - never treat the emperor penguin with too much respect.

After You Xian knocked on the door, as if he was confirming something, it took about two or three seconds before he got a response from inside the door.

"Well, you're back just in time. Since you have successfully completed your mission, come and assist me in holding the chairman's succession ceremony. Mockingbird has been waiting for you for a long time."

"As for your reward, I will have someone give it to you later, so you don't need to worry about it."

The sound coming from inside was a bit vague, and if you listened carefully, it seemed to have some electric sound, a bit like it was deliberately simulated by some software.
