A duelist never gives up!

"It's necessary. From the moment I came out, I sensed a murderous aura. I'm sure there are narrow-minded people who are jealous of the master's superb dueling skills. To prevent any accidents, please allow me to escort the master."

"Murderous intent..." Yuan Qi looked at Ai, who had been silent since he first arrived, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

"Aqi." Ai finally spoke.

"Ok?"

"I think keeping Phantom Rabbit bound to a card is an act of stifling her freedom. How about we put her back in the mountains?" Ai said expressionlessly.

Yuan Qi looked at the Phantom Rabbit standing side by side with him, lowered his head and did not respond.

"It's just a Phantom Rabbit. Once I have enough power as a duelist, let alone the Phantom Rabbit, Gray Flowing Beauty, Proliferating G, and Infinite Bubbles will all be easy to get. Do you understand what I mean?" Ai said while biting Yuan Qi's ear.

"Ahem, I don't quite understand what you want to say." Yuan Qi tried to fool him.

"No, you understand!" Ai hugged Yuan Qi from behind, and slapped Yuan Qi's face with her two little hands again, but this time they had no substance so they almost went through.

"You have to choose one today!" Ai said angrily.

"Why?"

"It's too much! The characters are overlapping!" Ai hit Yuan Qidao.

Yuan Qi looked at the Phantom Rabbit with a knife on his waist and a serious face, and then looked at Ai who was lying on him and playing.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, what weird things are you talking about?" Yuan Qi denied.

Alas, the lord is talking to himself again.

The ghost rabbit's red eyes revealed a sad look.

According to legend, there was once a duel king who had no friends because of his superb dueling skills, so he imagined an air friend. Every time he dueled, he would discuss tactics with his air friend.

My lord is in the same situation, so pitiful. It’s better not to expose it yourself.

"My lord, please rely on me as much as you can." Ghost Rabbit looked at Yuan Qidao with pity.

"Hmm? Oh oh...wait, Ai, stop it..."

Hmm, is the Lord's air friend called Ayi? I remember it.

Phantom Rabbit nodded thoughtfully.

Chapter 26: Don’t give yourself things you don’t want!

"Tell me, is there a possibility that you had this dream when your nerves were too tense and your body functions forced you to rest?" Ai said to Yuan Qi who was sitting in the classroom listening to the class.

Probably because the Phantom Rabbit had returned to the deck, Ai did not continue to chase Yuan Qi and ask him to "choose one of the two".

"I don't know, maybe." Yuan Qi didn't care anymore. There was no point thinking too much about something he didn't understand.

"That's it." Ai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ai."

"Ok?"

"I was talking to you this morning," Yuan Qi said with a smile.

"Of course I know!" Ai raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"And," Yuan Qi said, looking at Ai, "when will the gray ink flow beautifully, multiplying g and infinite bubbles appear."

"The truth is revealed now, right?" Ai punched Yuan Qi on the back.

"There's nothing we can do. You saw it too, the Midrash, the Nephilim, and... the Super Mage." Yuan Qi rested his hand on his cheek and said softly, "If the next opponent is of that level, we will lose."

"I know, alas." Ai also began to frown. "I don't have that much energy to print your card now. It's hard enough to maintain myself, I can't even materialize...ah, I got it."

"What?" Yuan Qi looked at Ai and said.

"If you can't win, just pull out the screws. As long as we interrupt the duel, we haven't lost!" Ai said seriously.

"What I mean is, how to become stronger quickly." Yuan Qi held his forehead and said.

"There are no shortcuts in this world. It's better to take each step firmly and steadily," Ai sighed. "However, if you duel with a powerful duelist, the dueling power you generate will be greater and stronger."

"A powerful duelist?" Yuan Qi looked at Nefeli, who was speaking nonstop on the podium. "Looking for Teacher Nefeli?"

"Losing is meaningless! Let's challenge again later." Ai shook his head. "Find an opponent who is stronger but you can beat him."

"Is there?" Yuan Qi began to search in his brain. Did he really know such a person... Wait, maybe he could give her words a try.

During lunch break, in the atrium.

"So, what do you want from me?" the girl with short purple hair leaned against the wall. "If you want to thank me, then there's no need. You both understand, right? I was secretly following you two that night."

"Especially you. I almost took your deck away from you. Don't you have any resentment in your heart?" Julie pointed at Xuefeng and said.

"Hmm..." Xuefeng frowned, then relaxed again, "You have a point, but one thing is for sure, I still want to thank you."

"You're an idiot," Julie scoffed.

"Wait a minute, I'm not here to say thank you." Yuan Qi interrupted.

"Hey, classmate Yuan Qi, aren't you here to say thank you with me?" Xuefeng asked in surprise.

"At that time, we had already won the Dark Duel and were about to leave. Even if Julie-senpai hadn't called Nefeli over, we wouldn't have been in danger," Hara Shichi shrugged. "It's more that I really hate people following me."

"But you can't say that..."

Xuefeng looked embarrassed, but before she could finish her words, Julie interrupted, "So you're here to cause trouble?"

"Of course." Yuan Qi put his hands in his pockets and said, "Didn't you say you wanted revenge last time? How about a round now?"

"Tsk, do you think... you can do whatever you want just because you have that powerful super card?" Julie said gritting her teeth.

"I've taken a leave of absence from class this afternoon. I'll wait for you at the stadium. Of course, you don't have to come if you're scared." After saying that, Yuan Qi left without looking back without waiting for Julie's reply.

"Hey, um...goodbye, senior!" Xuefeng hurriedly said goodbye to Julie, and then caught up with Yuan Qidao.

Julie looked at their backs, her fair face suddenly darkening. She clenched her fist and pounded it against the wall, shouting, "Asshole!"

"..."

"Classmate Yuan Qi, why did you say that just now?" Xuefeng said with puffed up cheeks like a little squirrel.

"What happened to me just now?" Yuan Qi asked with his head tilted.

"You were clearly provoking Senior Julie just now." Xuefeng said.

"Didn't she provoke you before?" Yuan Qi asked, puzzled. "Blood for blood, tooth for tooth. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"

"But, although Senior Julie did something that I hated, I feel like she is a bad person, and by doing this, aren't you no different from her?" Xuefeng said seriously.

"Yes, that's why I want to duel with her." Yuan Qi nodded. "Although Senior Julie is not a bad person, think about it carefully. Isn't her behavior very bad? Do we need to help her correct it? I want to wake her up through the duel!"

"Is that so?" Xuefeng asked doubtfully.

"Of course not, it's all for dueling power." Ai sneered while floating in the air. If you think about it carefully, Julie's dueling ability is not bad, but without the Undead King, her undead set with Dragon Death as the trump card is not to be feared, and it is just right to be used to make money.

"Of course it is. Without this kind of provocation, she wouldn't take the bait." Yuan Qi said, handing a card from the card box to Xuefeng. "By the way, I'll return the black hole to you."

"Is it useful?" Xuefeng asked curiously.

"Yeah." Yuan Qi recalled the duel with "himself" and nodded slightly.

"Then you can take it." Xuefeng said generously, "I feel this card will be more powerful in your hands."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yuan Qi looked at Xuefeng strangely. "This is the spoils you won with great difficulty. Don't just give it to me casually."

As he said that, Yuan Qi stuffed it into Xuefeng's hands.

"Okay." Xuefeng stuck out his tongue and put the card away.

"It's a kind gesture from someone, so just accept it if you're asked. Why are you being so pretentious?" Ai said from the side. "The black hole can also be used as a lightning strike, it's quite powerful."

"I owe so many favors that I don't know how to repay them. How can I have the nerve to ask for them back?" Yuan Qi whispered to Xuefeng beside him.

"You give me something and I'll give you something." Ai waved her hand. "Just give her something. Let me think about giving her the little white rabbit I printed last time."

"Are you serious?" Yuan Qi looked at Ai in surprise, not understanding why such a cute little girl in front of him would say such terrible words.

"Then give her a card of a postman. There's no need for a postman to be vulgar. Or a thousand-feuille cat will do. Girls will definitely like this kind of cute card." Ai thought for a while and said.

"Don't give others things you don't need!" Yuan Qi said unhappily, but what Ai said made sense. At times like this, reciprocity is necessary.

"Xuefeng, there are not many trap cards in your deck, right?" Yuan Qi asked.

"Well, I don't know why, but I can't print out any useful traps." Xuefeng looked distressed.

"Then I'll give you this card. Otherwise, if you don't have resistance when you take the initiative, it will be very inconvenient many times." Yuan Qi said, handing the breakthrough skill to Xuefeng.

"Wait! What are you doing?!" Ai grabbed Yuan Qi's head and shouted, "This card is useful, it's useful!"

"Don't you want it?" Xuefeng asked instead of reaching out to take it.

"As for the invalid system, I already have the forbidden Holy Grail in my deck," Yuan Qi said.

"It's not enough, it's not enough at all!" Ai shouted in Yuan Qi's ear.

"Well...thank you." Xuefeng took the card and a bright smile appeared on her playful face.

Chapter 27: Blockade

Duelist Academy, Stadium.

Because classes were still in session, the stadium that was usually packed with people was now deserted. When Yuan Qi arrived, he saw only Julie standing there alone.

"I didn't expect you to really come." Yuan Qi walked forward and said.

"Let's make it clear in advance. The duel is fine, but I have one request." Julie pulled out her deck and said, "If I win, you have to give me your crown tiramisu."

"You really can't forget my card." Yuan Qi said helplessly.

"Nonsense, everyone would be obsessed with that kind of powerful card!" Julie said coldly.

"What if you lose? If you bet on cards, you have to pay something of equal value." Yuan Qi raised his eyebrows.

"If I lose, I'll be at your mercy." Julie pursed her red lips, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing a section of her white and tender thighs, and said, "You can do whatever you want."

"Does she think of me as a little boy who has never seen the world?" Yuan Qi said with a curl of his lips.

"Have you ever experienced this?!" Ai asked curiously with his blue eyes wide open.

"No."

"But Queen's Tiramisu is a very important card of mine, and I don't want to use it as a bet." Yuan Qi said, "After all, I can't guarantee that I can win the duel 100%."

"Oh, are you scared?" Julie said sarcastically.

"Yeah, I'm scared." Yuan Qi pulled a card from the deck and said, "If you don't mind, how about this card as a bet?"

"This card is... an over-the-counter card?!" Julie swallowed hard and asked, "You actually have other over-the-counter cards?!"

"What do you think? With this card, maybe I can master the Xyz Summon." Yuan Qi said, shaking the card in his hand.

"Wait, you're not trying to fool me with a useless monster, are you? Tell me the summoning conditions and effects of this card!" Julie knew very well that even if they were both Gyro monsters, there were differences in strength. Some Gyro monsters not only had harsh conditions, but were also completely useless.

"Thanatos, the Demonic God of Death. Summoning conditions require two Dark 4-Level Beasts. This effect can be activated once per turn by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card. During this turn, this card is unaffected by the effects of monsters other than this card. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn."

"Tiramisu is better without the crown." Julie frowned.

"It's not affected by Tiramisu's effects, and its attack power is even higher than Tiramisu's. If you use this card, you might be able to defeat me." Yuan Qi shrugged. "And do you think I would use it as a bet if I really had a powerful card like Tiramisu?"

"In that case, I accept this duel." Julie began to step back, and then a purple duel disk appeared on her arm.

"Then... a duel!"

"duel!"

Julie: 4000lp

vs

Original seven: 4000lp

"Beep!" Julie looked at the sound of the duel disk and raised her lips slightly, "Looks like I'm the one who made the first move again."
