A duelist never gives up!

"You're just being stubborn. I'm covering a card, and the turn ends."

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Wait, this card is..." Nafeli looked at the card he drew and his heart suddenly stopped beating.

I actually drew this card at this time, damn it! I'm not good enough to use this card right now, but if I don't use this card... I will lose this duel!

Nefeli stared intently at the card in his hand, beads of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. What should he do? Should he use it? What if he couldn't control it... Nefeli cast his gaze at Yuan Qi, who was standing beside him, and fell silent.

Chapter 24: I am very sober!

"Lost again?" asked the old man.

"It's just bad luck. If she hadn't foiled my attempt on Xiaomi, I would have been the Duel King." Nafeli said boredly while lying on the sofa.

"You said the same thing three years ago."

"Tsk."

"What are your plans next?" the old man continued to ask.

"Play in the professional league, strive for a spot in the starting land in three years, and then become the Duel King." Nafeli replied.

"The academy also has two places." The old man said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"Have you ever considered staying in school as a teacher?" the old man stared at Nafeli.

"Why?" Nafeli asked puzzled.

"Sometimes, it's better to rest before moving forward," the old man said. "The high-intensity duels in the league will only make you more mentally exhausted. You won't get stronger if you keep doing that."

Nefeli was silent for a moment and said, "I understand."

Then Nafeli worked as a teacher for four years and even became the dean of studies.

Although it is a deputy.

"Asshole! You're not the same as before! You're a teacher now! Are you going to disregard your students' lives just for your own victory?!" Nefeli lowered his head and clenched his fists. "And even if I use this card, I don't necessarily win..."

"But if you don't use it, you're bound to lose."

"Mr. Yuan Qi?!" Nafeli turned his head and found that Yuan Qi was standing behind him without him noticing.

"Use that card. Don't worry about my safety." Yuan Qi said seriously, "I want to see you win more than that insignificant thing."

"You...are really my type!" Nafeli grinned, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. "In that case, I won't be polite!"

"I enter the Main Phase and Normal Summon Shaddoll!" Nefeli slammed the monster onto the Duel Board. Then, without hesitation, he inserted the card he had just drawn onto the Duel Board. "Next, I discard Fairy Legend Princess - Snow White and activate the Quick-Play Spell Card - Super Fusion!"

"Super fusion?!" the black-robed man screamed, "Are you crazy?!"

"No! I'm wide awake! I'm sending the Shaddoll Lizard on my field and the Ultra Magic Dragon Knight on your field to the graveyard. Come out! Divine Shaddoll Midrash!"

A surge of power surged out from the duel arena, and a huge vortex swallowed up the Shaddoll Lizards and Super Magic Dragon Knights on the field. However, unlike what Nefeli expected, the God Shaddoll Midrash did not appear. Instead, the energy on the field began to become violent, as if it would explode in the next second.

"Bastard! Do you want to die?!" the black-robed man said, and without hesitation put away the duel disk and wanted to run away, but soon, with a roar, a white light enveloped the entire space.

"Boom!"

"What's going on?" Xuefeng suddenly felt the earth shaking, and then a ray of white light began to seep out from the door in front of him.

"Something's wrong, something happened inside!" Ghost Rabbit carried Xuefeng and Julie in each hand and ran out.

"Wait! Classmate Hara Nana and Teacher Nafeli are still inside!" Xuefeng shouted suddenly.

"It's too late!" Ghost Rabbit's snow-white bangs covered her red eyes, and a line of tears dripped down her cheeks to her toes. "It's too late, bastard!"

"why is it like this……"

The Phantom Rabbit quickly left the trial ground and placed the two of them on the grass by the lake.

Xuefeng's blue eyes stared blankly at the calm lake. Guilt and sadness stabbed into her heart like a knife, one, two, three times...

"Don't act like your mother has died." Julie said weakly, "With Teacher Nefeli here, nothing will happen to that guy."

"Eh? But..." Xuefeng wanted to say something, but soon a loud noise was heard from the lake.

"Wow!"

A huge figure suddenly emerged from the lake, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the figure, through the crystal water droplets, as if a goddess came out of the bath.

"This is - the Divine Shadow I Nephilim?!" Xuefeng looked at the huge figure in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Then, Nephilim bent down, spread out his clasped palms, placed Yuan Qi and Nephilim on the grass, and then disappeared into the night.

"Hiss... Fortunately, I was prepared and asked Nephilim to be on standby at any time, otherwise our two lives would be lost here." Nephilim said as he stood up from the grass with his hand on his waist. Then he saw that everyone on the grass seemed to be staring at him, so he coughed twice.

"Ahem, actually, I did consider your safety, but Nephilim told me that you have been brought up by the Phantom Rabbit, so..."

"Yuan Qi!" Xuefeng threw herself on him with tears in her eyes, "Fortunately... fortunately you are okay, otherwise I would..."

Nafeli: “…”

"Sorry to have worried you." Yuan Qi smiled and said, "It's all right now. Let's go back to school."

"Ah."

"So, we can finally leave? I have classes tomorrow." Julie said impatiently.

"Wait a minute!" Nefeli shouted, "Let's make peace before we leave here."

"I was resting in the dormitory today and didn't know anything." Yuan Qi spoke first.

"Um, well...me too." Xuefeng lowered his head guiltily. After all, he would be punished for trespassing into the back mountain.

"I'm in the dormitory too and I don't know anything." Julie turned her head away.

"So, I noticed some criminals had sneaked into the school, and I tracked them all the way to the back mountain. After a fierce battle, they shamelessly used a huge flammable and explosive device to kill me and me. But at the critical moment, I called out my dueling spirit, Nephilim, and with her protection, I survived." Nephilim hammered his palm and said, "In short, we didn't encounter each other today. Do you understand?"

"Ok."

"no problem."

"Okay, let's go." After getting the promise, Nafeli finally felt relieved. If the dean knew that he took the students to chase some mysterious man in black, and used hyper-fusion, which he was not proficient in at all, and almost killed everyone.

Then I will probably die, and hyper-convergence will have to be handed over.

"Phantom Rabbit, won't you come with me?" Yuan Qi said to the Phantom Rabbit who was squatting by the lake.

"My mission..." Ghost Rabbit said hesitantly.

"The trial ground has become a ruin, and the sealed duel elf has disappeared due to the explosion. You no longer need to be bound by the mission." Yuan Qi said.

"But I didn't protect you well just now." Ghost Rabbit lowered his head and said, "If it weren't for Nephilim, you would have been..."

"That's because you're not by my side, so you can't protect me." Yuan Qi said, extending his hand. "Now, can you stay by my side and protect me?"

Ghost Rabbit looked at Yuan Qi's gentle hand. In an instant, a wrinkled hand overlapped with the hand in front of him, and the old woman's kind voice rang out:

"Then can you protect me?"

"It's my honor." Ghost Rabbit took Yuan Qi's hand.

Yuan Qi smiled, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head, as if a cold gaze was looking down at him from above.

"Ah Qi, I can protect you from that kind of explosion just now, and I've always been by your side. Of course, I don't mean anything else by saying this, but I hope that your wooden head can think about it and say something to me..."

"I know, I know. Aiyi is so nice to me. Aiyi is awesome. Aiyi is so cute. Aiyi is the cutest person in the universe..."

"Perfunctory!"

"..."

At this moment, deep in the lake, among the ruins, a scarred arm suddenly emerged, and at the fingertips of the hand, a purple card emitted an enchanting light.

Chapter 25: Lord, please rely on me.

"impossible!"

In Duelist Academy, in male dormitory room 307, Yuan Qi, wearing white pajamas, stood in front of the mirror while brushing his teeth and said, "Why would I lie to you?"

Ai, wearing a sky blue dress, floated beside Yuan Qi. She frowned adorably, her hands on her hips as she said, "It's impossible for someone to trap you in an illusion without me noticing, and even transform into your appearance to explore your memories!"

"Memory doesn't lie. How about you explore my memory?" Yuan Qi half-squinted his eyes and nodded his head.

"I wouldn't do anything so rude!" Ai muttered, "But if what you said is true... wouldn't that expose my existence as well?!"

"It seems so." Yuan Qi rinsed his mouth.

"Then why are you still so calm!" If Ai's duel power was not too scarce to be materialized, he would have punched Yuan Qi twice with his fists!

"I'm a god! What if they're planning something bad on me and arrest us both..." Ai suddenly lowered his voice. "Hey, do you feel like someone's eavesdropping on our conversation? There seems to be a dark figure on the balcony behind the curtains."

"That's a tree branch. I saw it last night." Yuan Qi said lightly.

"Go and look again! Go and look again!" Ai insisted.

"Okay, okay." Yuan Qi opened the curtains and pointed to a few branches that extended into the balcony under the sunlight. "Yes, I didn't lie to you."

There are several old trees planted behind the boys' dormitory. According to the college, this is to allow students to enjoy the freshness of nature early in the morning.

"Cut it off." Ai said coldly.

"Huh?" Yuan Qi looked at Ai in surprise.

"I said, cut this tree down!" Ai yelled. "You think it's a branch now, but when someone actually stands on the balcony, you'll subconsciously think it's a branch too! And what if someone climbs up the balcony using the branch?! Cut it down! Cut it down!"

"It's originally... so we can sneak out of the dormitory at night." Yuan Qi curled his lips, "Have you forgotten that I climbed down from here last night to avoid the dormitory manager?!"

"I don't care! I sense danger!"

"Okay, stop messing around. I'm going to change and get ready for class. Or do you want to watch me change?"

"You think I haven't seen it?! My business is more important now!"

"……Let me go please."

"..."

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much." Yuan Qi said while biting a piece of bread on the way to the classroom.

"If he really had some ulterior motive, he would have taken action long ago," Yuan Qi said with a faint smile. "Besides... I don't think he has any ill will towards me."

"What a weird smile... Have you been drugged?" Ai said with his head tilted.

"No, maybe just a pleasant conversation?" Yuan Qi said.

"What did you say?" Ai asked curiously.

"He told me not to be stubborn and to rely on the people around me." As he said that, Yuan Qi turned his gaze to Ai.

"Look...why are you looking at me?" Ai said nervously, "I have always been yours..."

"Please rely on me, my lord." Long silver hair fluttered in the breeze, and a petite figure suddenly appeared beside Yuan Qi.

"Phantom Rabbit? Why did you come out?" Yuan Qi blinked and said as he looked at the figure in front of him.

"Didn't the Lord just say that we need to rely on others? I came out as soon as I heard it." Ghost Rabbit said with a puzzled look on his face, "Could it be that the person the Lord was talking about wasn't me?"

"No, it's you." Yuan Qi patted the ghost rabbit's small shoulder and said.

"Really? It seems I didn't misunderstand what the lord meant." Ghost Rabbit nodded happily, and then said, "In that case, let me escort the lord to the classroom."

"Is it necessary?" Yuan Qi looked at the strange looks people were giving him and asked awkwardly. It happened that his hearing was quite good, so all the surrounding discussions filled his ears.

"What a cute child, is he a student of our school?"

"Idiot, it's obviously a Duel Spirit just by looking at the decorations!"

"By the way, is that person the legendary Hara Nana-kun who can use X-Force Summoning?"

"It seems so. I heard his deck also features cute puppet desserts, and his duel elves are so cute too. I didn't expect such a grown man to have such a girly heart..."

"No, I smell crime..."

"What a coincidence! I smell the same kind of scent."

"..."

Obviously, the appearance of Phantom Assassin attracted everyone's attention. Although some people like to release their duel elves, it is rare to see one as cute as Phantom Assassin in human form.
