Miss Sophia was different from Iris and Youxian. She noticed the most important word in the emperor penguin's words:
"resurrection?!"
Yes, resurrection! Including what she herself is pursuing.
The power called resurrection is the real taboo of this world. Before Sophia came into contact with the World Ruined Church, she was not even sure whether it really existed.
Although she successfully joined the World Ruined Church later, she was never able to come into contact with the mysterious Tierra, and touching the power of resurrection was even more distant.
But now God has given her a second chance, allowing her to find clues to resurrection during this journey to the Ritual Academy.
So, is there a possibility... that she can touch the long-gone Alesshart in the Ritual Academy?
?
You Xian, who was standing aside, shuddered inexplicably when he saw Sophia's glowing eyes.
After he reacted, he immediately understood the real reason behind Sophia's behavior.
What is this? Is there something wrong with this development?
Is there really a power in this world that can resurrect people? Is this setting too fantastical? If there is such a thing as resurrection, what would happen if Sophia really came to resurrect him? Would his identity be exposed directly?
Come on, don’t do that kind of thing!
Without paying any attention to the different expressions on the faces of the people, the emperor penguin began to slowly tell the secret buried in history.
"The Ritual Academy is the most special duel academy. In addition to the fact that it must undergo trials during the coronation process and must follow the rules of the ceremony at other times, the Ritual Academy has another unknown feature - it has more than one chairman."
"?What's the meaning?"
"Although on the surface the Ritual Academy has only one chairman like other duel academies, in fact, every recognized chairman of the Ritual Academy has two."
"One is in the light and the other in the dark, just like the relationship between yin and yang, light and shadow. You are in me and I am in you."
"Even their rights are divided in half."
"These correspond to ritual magic and ritual monsters respectively. The chairman of the outer side cannot be separated from the chairman of the inner side, and vice versa."
You Xian suddenly felt something was wrong and frowned and asked, "What would happen if there was no chairman?"
"If there is only one chairman in the Ritual Academy for a long time, then he will be automatically disqualified from being the chairman by the 'Guardian' of the Ritual Academy's Executive Chairman Trial."
"Being crowned as the chairman of the Ritual Academy is only the last step of the trial. The name of that trial is [Lead the Ritual Academy with your companions to continue moving forward]. This is the only similarity between the trials of the Light and Dark Chairman."
The man, who looked a little old, let out a long breath, and then closed his eyes tightly on the floor covered with gravel and dust.
Of course, this might just be a way for him to rest after feeling tired. Under You Xian's direct threat, the emperor penguin continued to tell everything he knew:
"The chairman who stands in the open handles all matters that need to be handled by the chairman in the open, and the chairman who stands in the dark is in charge of all matters that are not seen in the light, or the extremely secret affairs of the academy."
"So what you are going to revive is..."
You Xian, whose interest had already been piqued a little, dragged a chair over from the side and looked at the man on the ground with some curiosity.
To be honest, this was the first time he heard of such a thing.
The position of chairman represents absolute power, and their existence is no different from that of a king to the Duel Academy.
This kind of power is in the hands of one person. It is possible that the Duel Academy will be destroyed due to the evil intentions of the chairman, or it is possible that the Duel Academy will become stronger than before due to the chairman's hard work.
But if this power is divided equally into two halves...it would be better if one party is the former chairman of the Synchro Academy who has no interest in power, or if both parties are like-minded and are wholeheartedly concerned about the Duel Academy.
The former is nothing more than one party frantically pondering the power in their hands while the other party looks for someone to play cards every few days, and immediately starts playing when asked about work. The latter can make the Duel Academy even stronger.
But if both sides are ambitious people who want to swallow up the other, then there will be a shocking civil war. Even if they don't really fight, the internal strife in secret is enough to indirectly consume the power of the Duel Academy.
Of course, this does not mean that other colleges' system of only having one chairman will not have problems. A traitor like Shule is a typical example. He almost completely destroyed the Super Academy.
But when Emperor Penguin mentioned this, did he want to revive another chairman? Did he succeed?
However, the emperor penguin, who was "getting better", ignored You Xian's meaning. At this moment, he did not seem to be telling the "truth" to the people present, but to comfort a deceased soul.
"In order to ensure that there will be no rift between the two directors due to incompatibility or other frictions, the relationship between the two parties is generally a husband-wife relationship, except for very close brothers and sisters."
"At the same time, while the chairman of the board is undergoing the trial, the chairman of the board must also be tested secretly. After both parties complete the trial, they will become the chairman of the board of directors of the Ritual Academy together."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of You Xian, Novia and others became subtle.
Why is this promotion trial limited to married people? If you are not married, you have to find a relative who is very compatible with you.
All I can say is that it is worthy of being a ritual academy and has never disappointed anyone in this regard.
"Since once you confirm that you will become the chairman of the other party, you can no longer completely leave the other party, so the chairmen are also particularly cautious when making choices."
"They know one thing clearly - this will be the person who will accompany them through life and also their most important soul mate."
"And so it is with us... Florence, when I became the chairman of the Ritual Academy, my beloved also successfully passed all the trials and became the chairman, and we achieved that beautiful marriage."
At this point, the disheveled and old man couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, as if he had returned to those happy days again.
However, it didn't take long before his smile began to fade and disappear, and gloom and pain slowly reappeared on his body:
"Unfortunately...she lost her life in an accident, leaving me alone to live."
Seeing that he still had a look of 'It hurts, it hurts so much', You Xian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "So you sacrificed the entire Duel Academy just to revive your lover?"
His trembling body suddenly paused, and then he suddenly straightened up and stared at You Xian with his emerald green eyes:
"Sacrifice the Duel Academy? That will only be a temporary pain. When my plan succeeds, I will regain the position of the chairman of the Ritual Academy and let Florence return to this world and become my corresponding chairman again."
"By then, the Ritual Academy will be rebuilt and back to its peak, which means there will be no loss at all!"
Perhaps because what he said was too ridiculous, Novia, who had been standing in the distance with an expressionless face since the beginning, finally couldn't hold it anymore.
Anger, endless anger completely engulfed this poor girl. When the long-suppressed emotions completely erupted, the most terrifying storm would sweep over her.
"But what about those who died in your sacrifice? Your sacrifice caused countless deaths, and the Ritual Academy was directly expelled. Even the surrounding towns were implicated, resulting in a large number of innocent victims."
"And now you're saying 'nothing to lose' and you even want to take the position of chairman of the Ritual Academy again with your woman?!"
"Don't be ridiculous! I'm going to fix a scum like you!"
She took a few steps to the front of the emperor penguin and was about to punch it in the face.
But unfortunately, no matter how angry she was, when You Xian stood in front of her, she still couldn't kill You Xian in one swipe, and then kill the emperor penguin with three punches.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Let me find out all the information I want to know first."
Using his right arm to force Novia to distance himself from the emperor penguin, You Xian continued to ask:
"Since your sacrifice to the Ritual Academy was to revive that woman, where is she now? Or... have you been deceived by this illusory thing called 'resurrection from the dead'?"
According to You Xian's understanding, if this kind of love-brained person really resurrected his lover, he would definitely keep the other person by his side for fear that something unexpected would happen again.
But there are no such people around the emperor penguin now...
So is it possible that this emperor penguin was fooled? Just like Sophia who was "forced" to fool others, this emperor penguin was also fooled by another guy who was good at playing tricks.
But the emperor penguin shook his head seriously: "No, it's just because the resurrection ceremony has not been completely completed."
He turned his head with difficulty to look at Novia beside him, his eyes flickering with some uneasiness, as if he was going through some extremely tormenting decision.
You Xian was keenly aware of this, so there was a hint of danger in his tone:
"I advise you to tell the truth. I have the ability to detect lies. If you lie..."
"Considering your scumbag nature, perhaps I will arrange a rebirth pool specifically for you to enjoy. Well, all those who can walk out of the rebirth pool have turned over a new leaf - I believe you can do this too."
So, perhaps because You Xian's threat was too irritating, the man who planned everything finally gave his answer.
"Besides that large-scale sacrifice, there are two more steps left in this resurrection ceremony. The last step is to offer the bald eagle I chose as my body as a sacrifice."
"But the Bald Eagle's resurrection body is not yet perfect. She must be made similar enough to Florence before she can be used as the material for resurrecting Florence."
"Once the soul, character, and something deeper have met the requirements, the ceremony will enter the final step and offer the bald eagle as the final sacrifice."
If the emperor penguin's attitude towards the others in Suifengpiaopiaoyou is simply exploitation, then Novia's image in his mind is the most complicated.
On the one hand, he shaped Novia into what he needed, intending to use her body and soul as a base to revive his beloved when the time came. In order to do this, he had used methods that were not permitted by the secular world more than once.
But on the other hand, he was somewhat concerned about Novia herself. In the past few years of contact, he had wanted to contact Novia privately more than once, and even gave Novia his beloved and favorite animal "Bald Eagle" as a code name.
If possible, he really wanted to raise her as his own daughter.
But in the end, he did nothing. He just carried out his plan step by step, like a cold and efficient machine.
He was afraid of Novia, afraid that Novia knew everything.
He also had no idea what kind of expression Novia would have after knowing everything - he didn't want to see this scene in person anyway.
According to his original plan, he would not notice anything until Novia's consciousness completely dissipated.
It’s a pity that everything changed in the end.
"So you trained Novia for this purpose?"
You Xian, who was sitting on the chair, glanced at Novia, whose body was completely stiff, and his expression became subtle.
Originally he wondered if the emperor penguins' special treatment of Novia was due to some kind of bad taste, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
This bastard really doesn't treat people as human beings. No matter if they are teachers or students affiliated with the Ritual Academy, Suifeng Piaopiaoyou's subordinates, or even the "daughter" he has raised for so many years, he can send them to the underworld without hesitation as long as it is to resurrect his lover.
"Yes... Everything is for Florence, everything is for my beloved. If I can do this, what does it matter if I give up everything?"
With his head half lowered, the man kept muttering something as if he had suddenly lost his mind.
"Just a little bit... just a little bit, as long as I can sacrifice her in the remaining time, even if it's not perfect, maybe it will work... For my wish, please die!"
He suddenly raised his hand, and his originally scattered gaze focused in an instant, and his body immediately pounced towards Novia who was not far away.
However, You Xian was much faster than him and punched him in the face when he tried to do anything.
You Xian's strength is very, very great. Not to mention teaching the Emperor Penguin a lesson, after being strengthened several times, if he were to go to the neighboring Dou X Continent, he might be able to defeat the entire world including the God Realm by himself - they are all hydrogen people anyway.
"Since I've caught you, it's better not to have so many small thoughts, otherwise I will punish you."
With a bright smile on his face, You Xian still looked so comfortable.
For Youxian's opponent, although it is difficult, there is still a slight chance of defeating Youxian in a proper duel. But if it is a physical duel... it will probably become a female ghost facing the magnetic field strongman head-on.
The emperor penguin's head wasn't blown up by a single punch because You Xian held back on purpose, otherwise he would have been killed on the spot.
However, the emperor penguin who failed in the sneak attack did not show any disappointment at all. Instead, he suddenly burst into laughter:
"Haha, it's useless! I told you so much just to buy time. Do you think I don't have any backup plan after preparing for such a long time?"
At the same time, his body began to change. It gradually became transparent from a solid object, like a ghost between a human and a shadow.
"Ok?"
Seeing that he was in a different situation, You Xian fired a volley of bullets at him without hesitation. However, the bullets seemed to hit the air and went straight through the emperor penguin's body without causing any effect.
Seeing that the physical duel failed, You Xian tried to cast a dark duel barrier against him, but this man seemed to be Hong Di who could not be the target of the effect. Although he seemed to be staying there, he could not use the effect of taking the target properly.
Not surprised by the result, the man who had been preparing for a long time still laughed:
"It's useless. From the definition of location, I no longer exist here. You can't successfully engage in a dark duel with me."
"Do you understand? I am the one who controls all the plans! And my plan will surely succeed. The position of chairman of the Ritual Academy will return to me and Florence."
"And you will definitely fail, definitely!"
As his body became more transparent, his voice gradually faded in the air, and finally completely disappeared in the room. Only a few people were left standing there, staring at each other in bewilderment.
"So, what he meant by control was that he left all the ritual materials here?"
You Xian picked up the most conspicuous chairman badge on the table, and his expression became more subtle.
This Emperor Penguin deck was stolen by himself, and the 'materials' that he had cultivated with great effort learned the truth that they should not have known, and even the necessary materials for being crowned chairman were forced to stay here.
In the end, he still seems to think that everything is under his control? Perhaps this man can no longer be described as "optimistic". It seems that there is nothing wrong with calling him a lunatic.
But this makes the situation of the Ritual Academy a bit troublesome... Although the materials needed for the ceremony have been gathered, in order to become the chairman of the Ritual Academy, one must have someone to be his "other side".
Not only that, this "other side" more or less contains the meaning of intimate relationship. In a sense, if the two people who are crowned as the president of the Ritual Academy at the same time are a man and a woman, then this trial even has the meaning of a wedding...
But the power of the Ritual Academy must be obtained...Only after obtaining the power of the Ritual Academy can You Xian get the Kusha Nuwei tribe that he has always dreamed of.
So, who will be your 'other side'?
You Xian glanced at the girls around him, and his expression became subtle.
Even without talking about the relationship between them and himself, it seems that these people are not easy to deal with.
