Want to play cards? I have a great deck!

As soon as he entered the gymnasium, You Xi saw several people dressed like teachers already inside.

They were sitting behind a row of desks, and when they saw You Xi coming, they all cast scrutinizing glances at him. It was obvious that they would be the examiners of this test.

"too slow!"

At the same time, a stern voice rang out.

Following the sound, I saw a bald man with a big belly walking towards me angrily.

As they walked away, he scolded them, "You two don't feel ashamed that so many teachers are waiting for you here?"

"what?"

You Xi had no idea what kind of person this uncle was who started to curse at him. Shizayoi frowned and stepped forward to argue, "Director Yamashiro, I don't think we were late. We arrived at the examination room on time or even ahead of time. You have no reason to blame us like this."

"Humph, you are students, you should show higher respect to teachers. Not arriving faster than us is already extremely rude. Logically, you should bow your heads and apologize, you know!"

Even when facing the famous girl in the school, Izayoi Yuki, Yamashiro didn't give her any good face.

This abnormal attitude surprised Izayoi Yuki.

Even though she used to dislike this dean who bossed students around, Shancheng would still show a fawning look when he met her. But the current Shancheng is completely different from the impression in her memory.

How is this going?

For some reason, Izayoi Shizayoi felt like she smelled something bad.

At this time, she noticed another anomaly.

"Wait a minute, Director Shancheng. Where is the principal? Why isn't Principal Lin here?"

He should have been present to observe the special recruitment examination.

"Principal Lin has something urgent to do, so I will be in charge of the assessment."

Yamashiro announced this arrogantly, and then he stopped talking to Izayoi Yuki and looked at Yuki instead.

The condescending look and the expression in front of Shancheng made Youxi a little unhappy, but he still endured it temporarily and asked, "Is there anything you want to teach me, Director Shancheng?"

"It doesn't look anything special."

Snorting two streams of air from his nostrils, Shancheng pointed at Youxi's face and said, "Izumi Youxi, right? Listen carefully! This school is a famous school with a long history. It's not like anyone can come here to study. As the Dean of Qingcheng High School, I have the obligation to ensure that the school is clean and tidy, and I will not give anyone any face."

"So, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you seem to have a relationship with the principal. That kind of thing won't work with me."

Shancheng spoke passionately and sounded very righteous.

Anyone else might have believed it, but unfortunately You Xi could only hear boring self-boasting, the hypocrisy hidden underneath, and the inexplicable hostility in these words.

As a result, his attitude became cold and he lost the last bit of respect for the dean.

"Oh, really? That's great. But in other words, as long as I can produce results that leave you speechless, you won't have any excuse to stop me from enrolling."

Even when meeting the adult's malicious gaze, You Xi did not flinch, and once again showed a hint of aggressiveness lurking beneath his gentle temper.

"Wait until you've done it."

Seeing that he didn't scare anyone, Shancheng snorted coldly and retracted his thick neck. He turned around and said to the examiners who were silent about the development of the situation: "Let's start when the time comes. The duel special recruits practical assessment-Teacher Keno, I will leave it to you. Don't forget what I just said."

"Well, don't worry. I will 'well' test this Yuxi classmate."

The man whose name was called gently adjusted his glasses and stood up from behind the table.

He is tall and slender, wearing a well-tailored suit, looking like an elite office worker.

"Kno?"

Izayoi Yuki looked puzzled. She had never heard of this teacher's name before, nor had she seen him in school. He looked so unfamiliar.

Shouldn't this assessment be handled by Mr. Wang Que and others who teach the duel class?

"I'm sorry, Youxi, for making you see something unpleasant. But don't feel any pressure from now on, and show us your true strength."

Keno held out his hand to Youxi and said with a smile.

"I will."

Youxi didn't hear any kindness in Kno's seemingly gentle words, but out of courtesy, he still shook hands with him.

"Be careful, Izumi-san."

When the two separated their hands, while Kno's sight was not here, Izayoi Yuki quietly reminded Youxi: "There is something wrong with this matter."

"I know, but now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot."

Yuki was not completely unaware of what Shizayoi had noticed. After all, the other party's behavior was too obvious.

But what he wanted to do did not change after all.

After assembling the duel disk and placing the carefully prepared card deck in it, You Xi stood at his position when the test time arrived.

The two sides stopped chatting and opened their mouths at the same time when they received the signal from the people around them -

"Duel――!!"

【Youxi LP: 8000】

[Kno LP: 8000]

"On my turn, I will activate the continuous magic from my hand: "Severed Darkness"."

In the actual combat assessment, the right to attack first automatically belongs to the examinee. You Xi naturally draws out a card and puts it into the duel disk.

An emerald green magic card appeared in the front field. The card contained the "Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Paladin" who had performed brilliantly in the duel with Izayoi Yuki.

What followed was the cards that were invested after discussion and consideration with the two girls.

"As long as this card is on the field, when I Normal Summon or Special Summon a monster other than a Token, once per turn, you can draw 1 card from your deck. Then, you can cast Normal Spell: "Rough Man's Prediction"!"

"If you have no monsters on the field, use this effect to Special Summon a Normal Monster from your Deck: "Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts"."

"Mythical Beast King Gazel, Level 4 / Earth / Beast" "ATK: 1500 / DEF: 1200"

Light and shadows floated, and a beast under the moon that seemed to exist only in fantasy jumped out of the card, roaring continuously.

"Due to the effect of "Severed Darkness", I draw 1 card. Activate Spell Card: "Fusion", fuse "Baphomet" in my hand with "Mythical Beast King" on the field! Fusion Summon――"

"Show yourself, "Winged Beast Chimera"! !"

Ps:

Please give me monthly votes and recommendation tickets qwq!

Volume 41: Chapter Ancient Machinery!

A spiral fusion effect bloomed in the air in front of Yuxi. The souls of beasts and demons merged into one in Yuxi's declaration, transforming into monsters that only existed in fantasy stories.

With its wings spread and its snake-like tail lashing out, the two-headed monster roared angrily at Kno.

"Winged Beast Chimera, Level 6 / Wind / Beast / Fusion" "ATK: 2100 / DEF: 1800"

Brush brush.

The moment the "winged beast" appeared, the teachers who were not participating in the actual battle lowered their heads and began to write something on paper.

The bald director Yamashiro sneered and muttered disdainfully: "Humph, you summoned a fusion monster at the beginning? It seems you are quite capable. But this level of fusion is not good enough. You have to know that the opponent you are facing is..."

"I will lay down two more cards, and the turn ends."

After covering all the cards in his hand, You Xi announced the round rotation, and then it was the turn of the practical examiner named Kno.

"My turn."

Kno adjusted his glasses and took out the card slowly, acting like an elegant gentleman from an ancient family.

After drawing the card, he opened the side slot of the duel disk in the same rhythm, and a card was placed in it.

"Main Phase 1. First, I will activate the field magic: "Gear Car Street"."

"Boom!"

Following Kno's voice, the earth suddenly shook.

Various buildings made of gears and steel rose from the ground, surrounding everyone. In an instant, Youxi seemed to have traveled back to the world of steampunk civilization.

"'Gear Street', this card is..."

Compared to this sudden and bizarre encounter, the card name mentioned by Kno could evoke Yuxi's memory more.

The next card Kno used further confirmed his thoughts.

"Then there is the usual magic: "Ancient Mechanical Projectile."

"If there are no monsters on your field, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 face-up card on your field. Destroy that card, and Special Summon 1 "Ancient Machine" monster from your Deck regardless of conditions. The one to be destroyed is, of course, "Gearwheel Street."

The city had just been built on the earth, and in the blink of an eye, the end came.

Large tracts of steel buildings collapsed, and from the ruins rose a terrifying iron giant—

"Appear, the ancient weapon that ravaged the world, "Ancient Mechanical Titan" Special Summon!"

"Ancient Mechanical Giant, Level 8/Earth/Mechanical" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 3000"

"Impossible, it's actually the 'ancient mechanical giant'!?"

Looking at this steel giant with power comparable to the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", before Youxi could say anything, Izayoi Yuki asked a question first.

The "Ancient Machinery" series is as well-known as the Electronic Stream in the field of mechanical card duels. Many duelists have come to study under it, and there are several masters who are well-known both inside and outside the country.

But that's not the point right now.

The point is, this is not a deck that a teacher at Qingcheng High School can use. Furthermore, this is not a deck that should be used in the Duel Exam.

"——Director Yamashiro, who exactly is this teacher Kno? He's not from our school, is he?"

The stern, questioning gaze went straight to the Dean of Studies, who snickered smugly, "Haha, you finally found out? It's a pity it's too late."

"That's right! Teacher Kno is not from our school. This top student is from Morning Light Duel Academy.

Although he is still a trainee teacher, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a full-time teacher. It is a waste of talent to ask him to deal with a young kid. But in this way, the kid named Quan will be finished. He will not have any chance at all. Maybe the duel will end before it even begins."

At the end of his speech, Yamashiro laughed in a gloating tone. Hearing this laughter, Izayoi Yuki's face darkened.

It's not easy to be a teacher at Duel Academy.

That requires solid theoretical knowledge and considerable dueling skills, otherwise you will only be laughed at and despised by the students. Those who can gain a foothold there are not much different from professional duelists.

Of course, the qualities and requirements of different duel academies are different, so we cannot generalize.

However, Morning Light Duel Academy is not just a vanity project that looks good.

Because of their different teaching directions, there is not much communication between Qingcheng High School and Morning Light Duel Academy. How could Kenuo accept Qingcheng's request to be an insignificant special recruitment examiner...

"Wait, there's one!"

A figure that was almost forgotten in the corner flashed through Izayoi Yuki's mind.

There is a reason, the only reason that makes Kno willing to take time out of his busy schedule to come here.

"Oh my, has the duel already started? Haha, it seems I came at the right time."

The door of the gymnasium was opened and a frivolous male voice came from there.

Two red-and-yellow-haired henchmen followed behind him, and the leader was the boy who had been beaten up by You Xi just two days ago.

"Master Satomi, you're here."

"Satoshi Satomi, it turns out you are the one behind this."

Two different reactions came out of the two people's mouths, one was flattering and the other was disgusted.

Satomi Sho brushed his carefully groomed bangs with one hand and said lightly, "Xue-chan, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? Everything in this duel assessment is going according to procedure. I didn't do anything disruptive."

"But, I really didn't expect it. After I went back that day, I did some research and found out that Youxi wasn't even a student at our school. This is interesting."
