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

Under this premise, all people are thinking about is understanding more decks and collecting stronger cards in order to avoid failure.

After all, if you lose to your opponent without your teammates... I'm afraid simply facing death would be a good ending.

As for things like love or friendship, the high-level duelists in this world don't pay much attention to them.

Love? It feels worse than playing cards!

But unfortunately, the thing blocking Youxian's way is not capable of dueling with Youxian at all, or it does not have such function.

Facing the thing in front of him, You Xian actually felt more depressed than when he usually faced a dark duel.

Should I try to punch it? If I really punch it, maybe it will be torn apart?

However, perhaps guessing Youxian's thoughts, the emperor penguin's voice once again echoed in the space:

"Hehe, don't think that brute force will work. Even if you tear it down and violently break into the trial level, you will never be recognized by the Ritual Academy itself."

"Many people think that the Ritual Academy is stupid and imposes a lot of restrictions and codes of conduct on itself, but that's not the case."

"Perhaps most of the rituals and rules are artificially proposed by the Ritual Academy, but some of the most core ones are completely determined by the Ritual Academy itself, such as the Chairman's Trial."

"If you don't follow the ceremony, even if you sign your name as the chairman or even wear the chairman's badge, you will not be excluded from the ceremony academy itself."

"By then you will feel his malice inside the Ritual Academy, and it will use various coincidences to resist you, the intruder."

"As for the creation device and other things that only the chairman can touch, don't even think about it. It's good enough that you can save your life."

"You'd better put down everything you stole from me and leave in disgrace. You don't belong here at all, and you are not worthy of blaspheming this miracle called love."

At this point, the emperor penguin's voice became more and more proud.

He has always looked down on people like You Xian who don't understand the true meaning of love. This world should revolve around the concept of "love"!

You Xian ignored the emperor penguin's arrogant remarks. He tried to go directly over the tester and reach the other side of the trial, but the seemingly ordinary space seemed to be solidified, blocking him outside. Even if he used a little strength, it was of no avail.

Gee, that’s really troublesome.

You Xian crossed his arms across his chest and frowned deeply.

"Or... just give up? As long as we take all the ritual materials away, the emperor penguin will have to find a way to take them away, maybe..."

Sophia, who was behind You Xian, tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered to him.

"No, let me try, now that I'm here."

Things have come to this point, so You Xian naturally won't give up easily. This is the only place in the world where it is easiest to get a large amount of duel energy without being held accountable.

If he doesn't take the position of ceremony chairman, You Xian will probably have to spend countless times more time to obtain the power of the Kusha Nuwei tribe.

"Iris, can I ask you for a favor?"

Having said this, You Xian finally turned his gaze towards his fiancée.

Speaking of which, because so many unexpected things happened today, You Xian didn't pay much attention to Iris's movements. But now when he set his eyes on Iris, he found that her expression looked particularly complicated.

It can be considered as "joy", but it seems to be mixed with a lot of other things, like a cake dotted with a lot of sand.

"You want to test me?"

Iris seemed a little surprised at You Xian's invitation.

According to Iris's idea, at this time, You Xian, who was "gradually not planning to pretend anymore", should be eager to invite Sophia to "marry".

But now he didn't do that at all, instead he looked at himself?

No, this was most likely just a pretense to give some face to his nominal fiancée. If the test results were not so good, he would use the trial as an excuse to look for Sophia.

So, should I accept his invitation?

"..."

"it is good!"

Yes, why would she retreat at this time? Is Iris inferior to Sophia in some way? Go ahead, face everything you are destined to face. This is also a different kind of challenge, but this challenge is no longer about physical strength but mental strength.

Even if it's just in this kind of competition, she can prove that she is not inferior to others!

"Oh, so you finally let your fiancée try her luck? It's useless. The fiancée's status doesn't explain anything. You guys who only have duels in your heads and have never touched the concept of love, how can you have 'fate'?"

The voice from the Emperor Penguin came again, and the mockery in his tone became stronger.

Of course, the two men, who were facing a formidable enemy at the moment, still treated him as a piece of air. They came to the instrument under the complicated gazes of Sophia and her subordinates who followed behind her.

"let's start."

You Xian glanced at the still lit display screen and nodded slightly to his fiancée.

"Ah."

The operation of this instrument is as simple as its structure. Both parties only need to cross their hands on the metal table of the instrument.

You Xian and Iris did not hesitate any longer. They simply placed their hands on the slightly cold metal table and crossed them together.

In the next second, this instrument, whose principle was completely unknown, started to run wildly, and some characters that Youxian could not understand at all flashed on the screen.

Speaking of which, this was probably the first time that You Xian held hands with Iris, his official fiancée.

As for the feeling... to be honest, Iris's hands did feel very soft and tender, and she didn't look like someone who had been practicing playing cards, transcribing card text clues and other information.

But if you ask whether the floating strings produced any charm, the answer is absolutely not.

Compared to the more powerful Paowa, Youxian is indeed not that interested in women.

Maybe it was just like what the emperor penguin said, he, Youxian, was just a card player without emotions, so he might fail in this trial of the chairman. His compatibility with Iris would definitely not be too high, and there was no hope for fate.

As for Sofia and Novia, there might still be some hope for Sofia, but there is probably no hope at all for Novia.

I have been harmed by Yu-Gi-Oh in my life.jpg

However, just like all interesting things in the world will undergo unexpected reversals, the data that finally appeared on the instrument was not the prompt such as "Single genius, it is recommended to start over" that You Xian imagined, but the exact opposite.

You Xian, he actually got a serious test report, and the results were better than expected.

[The final test results have been released. Please determine whether you are eligible to continue the trial based on the test results. ]

[Compatibility test: 4 stars (low)]

【Tianyuan: 10 stars (high level).】

[After reaching the minimum 12-star requirement, you two can try to continue the trial or give up and choose a more suitable candidate. ]

[Note: If you enter the trial with a 14-star value, the difficulty of the trial will be greatly increased, so please consider it carefully. ]

"..."

Looking at the values ​​on the instrument, everyone present fell into silence.

Not only You Xian and Iris, but also Sophia and the Emperor Penguin were all confused.

It is normal that the compatibility is low. After all, Youxian and Iris have not experienced any unforgettable things together. 4 stars should be a more appropriate judgment.

But this fate... For most people, it's pretty good to have 7, 8 or even 6 stars. Isn't it a bit outrageous that you directly get 10 stars?

"How is this possible?! For people like you who only think about playing cards, shouldn't you only be 1 or even 0 when it comes to things like fate?"

Emperor Penguin has seen too many duelists whose minds are only occupied with playing cards. There are indeed some strong ones among them, but no matter how strong they are, they can never pass the "Love Level" in the Chairman's Trial.

Even if such people bring companions to participate in the trial, they will be eliminated when they reach the fourth trial because of their low destiny.

But what's going on with these two now? The matchmaker himself came down to tie the knot, right? And the compatibility that ordinary people would have is actually quite low.

This time, not only him, but also the subordinates brought by Sophia were confused.

Shouldn't the partner of Shenghua's chairman be their leader Sophia? Why is he so closely related to the chairman of the Chaoliang Academy?

No, no, no, this can't be done... Lady Sophia, please don't lose this war of love!

Looking at Sophia's back, the people of the Nameless Council prayed silently.

After retracting his right hand, You Xian's expression became somewhat subtle.

“An unexpected result.”

After saying this, which sounded like an exclamation, he was silent for a while, and then suddenly looked at Novia behind him:

"But in this case...can you try it with me, Miss Novia?"

Perhaps he had finally recovered from the shock, and the emperor penguin interrupted:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Just now, the machine must have appeared somewhere, so you got lucky. And now, not only do you not cherish this opportunity that fell from the sky, but you want to invite someone you just met not long ago?"

"dream!"

"Ah I?"

Novia, who had always had a low presence, was obviously stunned when she was suddenly called by You Xian, but she quickly realized what You Xian had just said.

"I'd better forget it. Between us..."

"No, I just want to do an experiment. I won't really ask you to participate in this trial with me."

After a moment of silence, she nodded slightly under everyone's gaze: "Okay, if it's just a simple test."

The white-haired girl walked forward and placed her little hand on the back of Youxian's hand just like Iris had done.

Not long after, they also got their own answers like Iris.

[Compatibility test: 2 stars (very low)]

【Tianyuan: 10 stars (advanced)】

[After reaching the minimum 12-star requirement, you two can try to continue the trial or give up and choose a more suitable candidate. ]

[Note: If you enter the trial with a 12-star value, the difficulty of the trial will be increased to an extreme value, so please consider it carefully. ]

"?"

"?"

"???"

"Is this... is this really reasonable? Why can even a bald eagle work?! Is this damn machine broken? It must be broken! Otherwise, why is it always 10-star Tianyuan? Where the hell did this peach blossom spirit come from? Can it just die? You bastard!"

You Xian really felt innocent about the emperor penguin's "rumors". He really did not tamper with the machine, and in fact he did not have the ability to do so.

Of course he thought about cheating, but his elf power was not specialized for this kind of thing.

As for this 10-star fate, perhaps we can only say... fate itself is a very metaphysical thing, right?

Well, let's just give it 10 stars. Can you give me more than 10 stars if you can? It shouldn't be that bad, right?

Thinking of this, You Xian let go of Novia's little hand and finally looked at the last woman present - Sophia.

"Sophia, can you give it a try?"

"..."

Now even the emperor penguin was completely speechless.

No way? Could this guy still give himself a grand slam? This is impossible both logically and probabilistically.

It would be best if I could give that damn You Xian a good beating, so that I can ease the hatred in my heart a little.

No, let Sophia simply reject You Xian's invitation. This world will no longer tolerate the existence of scum who attacks three girls in a row. We must strike hard.

Come on, girl named Sophia! Reject that man fiercely!

Just as the emperor penguin imagined, Sophia fell into long thought.

Should I agree to You Xian's request? Or should I refuse?

It seems that no matter which one I choose, it is not a good choice... What if I have a high affinity with Youxian like Iris and the others?

Forget it, it’s just a test anyway, and why should I think about the problem based on the premise that I must have a high affinity with Youxian?

It’s too unbelievable!

Maybe the outcome between me and Youxian will be ordinary? Well, this is the most reasonable development.

Although she was still confused, she finally nodded:

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Although she agreed, Sophia still walked step by step to You Xian's side, as if she was about to face some extremely difficult decision.

She raised her head and glanced at the man in front of her, but she couldn't see much on You Xian's face.

Anxiety? Joy? Anticipation? Fear?
