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

He lay quietly in the swivel chair and rested for a while, and only sat up again after the pain in his body eased a little.

What a pity, if there was a more convenient way to replenish mana, the current situation would not have happened.

Pearly Tear Elegy Tribe, when can I truly control you?

You Xian shook his head, moved his five fingers slightly, and then took out a thick notebook from the safe beside the table.

"The chairman's assessment."

The dark ink stains continued to extend across the white paper, eventually forming these five large characters.

You Xian kept plucking the golden pen in his hand, but his thoughts had drifted far away.

He has successfully opened up the situation, but the situation is still not optimistic.

After all, his title as chairman still has the prefix "temporary".

Just like the Black Feather Dragon does not have the Black Feather Segment, the interim chairman is not an official position recognized by the Duelist Council after all.

You Xian was able to sit in this position securely because he was specially nominated by the previous chairman. It was only because of the sudden disappearance of the previous chairman that he naturally took up this position.

It can be said that this is an extremely special situation.

If he, as the interim chairman, wants to change the field and become a formal chairman, he will have to face the assessment of the Duelist Council.

Only by passing the assessment can the temporary chairman be changed to 'acting chairman' and then gradually become the official chairman.

The entire procedure and assessment process is very similar to the process of upgrading an armed dragon from level 3 to level 10, highlighting the trouble and slowness.

"If it was just an assessment, it would be fine, but now things are getting a little tricky."

Youxian's pen tip lightly stroked the big characters, and then connected them to another line of characters with a straight line.

The words 'Duelers' Council' were written there.

The assessment of the chairman is not as simple as just assessing him personally; it involves a very complicated process.

First of all, only the Duelist Council can assess people of the chairman's level. They, together with the chairmen of the five major academies, constitute the highest authority organization in this world.

At the same time, they are also the main force against the Dark Duelists.

When the interim chairman is about to conduct the chairman assessment, the Duelist Council and the other official chairmen will coordinate and select a candidate, who will be responsible for presiding over the assessment.

If he passes, it will be fine. If he fails, that "examiner" will replace You Xian and take the position of acting chairman of Shenghua.

In other words, this is actually an alternative Rakshir ceremony, and only the winner can serve as the chairman.

Although Shenghua College (formerly Fusion College) has gradually declined, it is still a duel college after all, and there are naturally many people eyeing Youxian's position as chairman.

These people are often prominent, and each has his own strengths. There may also be factions from other colleges or people in the parliament trying to interfere behind the scenes.

At the same time, they are also the most likely candidates for this 'examiner' position.

Moreover, these people naturally do not mind the current decline of Shenghua College. With their resources and background, it is not difficult to revitalize it.

If they are members from other college factions, they may be able to directly merge Shenghua into their colleges, achieving a disguised annexation.

As for where You Xian should go? What does that have to do with them? Anyway, to these people, You Xian is just a small character who came to take over the position with the letter of appointment from the former chairman.

Now he is just occupying that position temporarily, and when the real chairman takes office, it will be time for him to step down.

Coincidentally, the three-yearly chairman's assessment will be held in one month, and within this month they will select a "suitable" candidate to replace You Xian.

But all this is premised on Youxian failing to pass the future assessment...

At that time, the chosen person will have an extremely important and highly watched duel with You Xian.

This duel will also determine who will take on the position of chairman, and only those who are truly qualified will have the last laugh in that duel.

The loser can only exit in disgrace.

However, there is absolutely no way that Youxian will lose...

"Relying purely on the Pearl Tear Sorrow Tribe may not be considered invincible. I am very clear about this."

"There are indeed countless dueling masters hidden in this world, and some of them may be far more powerful than I am now."

"But... no matter how strong a duelist is, even if he is the Duel King, he can only reach the pinnacle of Yu-Gi-Oh."

"And I have already grasped the key to unlock Yu-Gi-Oh 2.0..."

You Xian stroked his dark blue card box, the forbidden symbols on it were still clearly visible.

Chapter 8 But why did her face turn so red when she was beaten?

But that is all in the future. After all, the chairman’s assessment will have to wait another month.

In addition to the chairman's assessment, there is another important thing.

That is to find a way to revitalize the college. Those people have their own resources, but he doesn't.

While thinking, You Xian rubbed his smooth chin with his left hand, and his right hand holding the pen unconsciously left some ink stains on the paper.

So the next step is to find someone...

As a qualified dueling academy, it is obviously not acceptable for the professors to have only two or three big cats and small cats.

Otherwise, even if you pass the chairman's assessment, you will still be expelled from the Duelist Academy one year later because of the unqualified teaching staff of the academy.

Moreover, the students who are admitted may transfer to other colleges due to insufficient number of teachers, which is also something that needs to be considered.

Thinking of this, You Xian casually touched the table, and then found the situation report that he had asked his subordinates to compile from the corner of the table.

This is a report that summarizes the current situation of the academy, mainly comparing the general standards of Shenghua and Duel Academy.

Skipping the messy content in front, You Xian looked directly at the several pieces of data specially marked in scarlet font.

The most eye-catching of these data is the last one, 'The number of master-level senior professors currently in the college: 0/5'.

After seeing these words, You Xian touched the side of his face with a headache.

A master duelist is not easy to find.

A master-level duelist is already close to the level of a duel king.

Hiring a master duelist as a professor isn't even easier than a cloud monster defeating a bunch of thunder elves and other mainstreams to get the championship.

If a dark duelist organization has five master-level duelists, it almost symbolizes a terrible disaster.

Not to mention getting these people to teach, even finding a duelist of this level is a difficult task.

While thinking, You Xian subconsciously drew a '5' on the paper, and then drew a not-so-standard small circle on it.

It’s a pity that, judging from the current state of Shenghua, I’m afraid no one would be willing to join this declining academy.

This forms a vicious cycle: the less people there are, the more destitute it becomes, and then the less people there are.

In the end, an almost unsolvable deadlock was formed.

Thinking of this, You Xian sighed softly. He knew that the predicament was not so easy to break after all.

"Try to find one first."

"But...well..."

He stood up from the swivel chair, endured the remaining pain in his body, and walked to an antique bookcase.

Compared with everything else in this office, this small bookcase seems like a treasure accidentally left here by time.

Although it is only about half a meter high, the elegant pattern and the material that still exudes the woody scent symbolize that it is definitely not an ordinary product.

"It should be here."

You Xian opened the carved glass door of the bookcase and kept searching among the neatly arranged shelves.

All the books here were left behind by the former president, which can be regarded as her personal collection. Most of them are theoretical materials, and the rest are mostly books on the introduction of wine and winemaking.

Since the former chairman, Afilia, had disappeared for a long time, and You Xian was busy with various official duties every day, he had no time to deal with these materials.

So although these books are well preserved, they are also covered with a thin layer of dust.

"Diary...I remember there should be a diary...where is it?"

You Xian bent down and carefully pointed from left to right, and finally took out the booklet hidden in a thick dictionary.

This is a small notebook that is probably only slightly larger than Youxian's hand. Its owner hollowed out the pages of the dictionary and embedded it in that place.

The cover of the booklet was a door bound by chains, with a ferocious monster painted on the door itself and a sentence written in beautiful cursive on the door.

'Whoever enters this door abandons all hope.'

Ignoring the middle school quotes on the book, You Xian put on his glasses and carefully turned the page.

He knew that this thing was the diary left by Afilia, and now he wanted to look in it to see if there was any information about certain professors.

Many professors at Shenghua chose to resign, but some of them actually wanted to stay here and left only for other reasons.

These people are also the ones that You Xian thinks are the easiest to recruit.

The pages of the book are very thin, but each page is covered with densely packed cursive characters.

Most of the records on it are daily trivialities, including some complaints about work. It can be said to be a very ordinary diary.

There are even one or two Q-version illustrations interspersed in the diary from time to time, which are generally Q-version self-portraits of Afilia.

For example, the first page that You Xian saw showed a petite girl with a chubby face dozing off on a wooden table with two jars of wine beside her.

There is a line of small text next to the illustration.

[Wow, the wine at Fia's is really delicious. I'll go borrow some next time.]

Ignoring the messy contents, You Xian took the diary back to the soft swivel chair and quickly searched for the information he wanted.

"Most of them are useless things. Besides, you are obviously not young anymore, why are you still so..."

You Xian awkwardly turned the page of a book that had an illustration of a chubby-faced girl turning her face away in anger, and finally couldn't help but complain.

However, at this moment, he keenly noticed a passage on page 15.

"Huh? This is it?"

I saw a few words written on the third-to-last line of the page that looked a little wrong.

[I spanked Professor Fu Jing today. That guy actually dared to touch my head while I was teaching my students. Damn it! ]

[I must teach her a lesson! ]

[But why did her face turn so red when she was beaten? ]

[I guess I didn't use much strength, did I? I should be more careful next time.]

?

You Xian pushed his plain glasses and carefully reviewed what he had just seen from beginning to end. After making sure that he was not mistaken, he found a yellow bookmark from the side and placed it on that page.

Professor Fu Jing, You Xian had heard of this person. She resigned about a week before You Xian took over.

At the same time, this person was willing to stay in this college and had some feelings for it. In the end, he left because of some special reasons.

It is said that she cried secretly when she left.

Currently, this person works as a practical instructor at the Synchronization Academy. Since she is a "non-staff member", her current position is not as high as when she was in Shenghua.

To give an inappropriate example, when she was in Shenghua, she was a regular at the pie chart and was one of the top three regulars.

But now she is just the stupid swordsman in the environment. There are people using her to play competitive games in every round, but she can’t get an independent cake in every round.

"Well... maybe we can start with her."

You Xian took another look at the diary in his hand and nodded secretly in his heart.

Chapter 9 Collars and Ropes

The best thing is that tomorrow is a weekend, so You Xian will have time to look for this master duelist.

This way, he wouldn't have to think of going directly to the Synchrony Academy to find someone.

The other students in the Synchronous Academy are not stupid. When he ran to their academy at this time, others would know what You Xian was trying to do at a glance.

This will inevitably lead to many problems and make things more complicated.

Although it is impossible to stop him from going directly, it is still very easy to trip him up secretly.

Even if one wanted to sneak in secretly, it would be an unrealistic thing. If the Duel Academy was so easy to sneak into, the happiest people would probably be the dark duelists.
