A duelist never gives up!

Yes, the Book of Moon that Xuefeng gave to Yuan Qi before was opened from the card pack in the academy store.

"Some people even got Resurrection of the Dead and Kaguya, the Fairy Princess," Julie said helplessly. "And even if they get good cards, so what? Some cards just don't fit in the deck well enough and can't be included at all."

"Then trade with a friend." Xuefeng said as a matter of course, "Maybe the card you have can be used by your friend, and the card your friend has can be used by you."

"..."

"Besides, if you don't have one, you can make a few more friends. If you get together, you might be able to exchange for the card you want."

"..."

Xuefeng, stop talking. Didn’t you notice that Julie’s face has turned dark? Yuan Qi secretly tugged at Xuefeng’s sleeve, but unfortunately, it was too late.

"Ah, that's right. I just don't have any friends. I'm a loner. Do you understand what I mean? If you do, please leave. To be honest, I've been finding you two annoying since a while ago. You're buzzing around like flies..."

Yes, Julie has no friends.

Although I don't know why it didn't happen, I seem to blame myself for it.

"Eh? Aren't we friends?" Xuefeng said in shock.

"Huh? When did I become your friend?" Julie was even more shocked.

"Didn't you comfort me that time by the lake in the back mountain?" Xuefeng gave an example.

"It's just that you were crying too loudly." Julie said impatiently.

"What about the apology letter and candy left in my mailbox this morning?" Xuefeng blinked.

"What?!" Yuan Qi looked at Julie with wide eyes, as if saying, how could you do such a thing?

"I...that's just because you came to me to apologize...No, I'm anonymous...Ah!" Julie almost bit her tongue because she spoke too quickly.

"Because my parents always like to write to me, I check the mailbox every morning." Xuefeng Li stuck out her tongue and said, "As for being anonymous... now that you admit it yourself, it's not anonymous anymore."

"I didn't expect Xuefeng to have such a 'clever' side." Ai couldn't help but say.

"Why do I feel a little scared..." Yuan Qi said with a curl of his lips.

"Anyway... that is... forget it. I'm not apologizing for you. I'm just apologizing to forgive myself." Julie turned her face away.

"I say, you can't have written down every one of them, right?" Yuan Qi suddenly said.

"Yeah," Julie whispered.

"Every one of them is anonymous?"

"Ah."

"Are you an idiot? If you remain anonymous, the other party won't be able to feel your feelings at all and will just be confused." Yuan Qi said, looking at the purple-haired girl with her head lowered in front of him.

"Writing my real name will only make them angry," Julie said self-deprecatingly. "Besides, I've already sold their decks, and used the 50-50 split of the proceeds to buy new cards. Unless I sell my current deck, no, even if I sell my deck, I can't buy back everyone's decks. And even if I do... they won't be the same cards anymore."

"Well, I'm just half-baked. I want to atone for my sins but I can't bear to part with my deck. All I can do is write a few useless anonymous apology letters to comfort myself."

"No one will forgive me."

"I forgive you." Xuefeng held Julie's hand and said.

"That's because I didn't take your deck away." Julie said coldly.

"That's right, no one will forgive you." Yuan Qi said, "A mere letter of apology is useless except for comforting yourself."

"Student Yuan Qi..." Xuefeng looked at Yuan Qi's determined eyes and swallowed the second half of the sentence he wanted to persuade him.

"Honestly, I didn't care what you did to other students before," Yuan Qi said calmly. "To be frank, those people had nothing to do with me. You foolishly agreed to a gambling card duel, so you should be responsible for your actions."

"But I understand now. I was foolish for jumping to hasty conclusions." Yuan Qi pointed at Julie and said, "And you, too, have done something unforgivable."

"That's ultimately your own business. Whether you want to be forgiven or just forget about it, it has nothing to do with me."

"but……"

Yuan Qi stretched out his hand and said, "Since you want comfort, it means you feel guilty, right?"

"In that case, I have a proposal. Would you like to hear it?"

"What?" Julie raised her head and looked at Yuan Qi.

"Join me to defeat the Red Lotus Society," Yuan Qi said. "The old victims are beyond redemption, so let's prevent new victims from being born."

"You...you didn't come to me just for this matter, did you?" Julie asked suspiciously.

"It's different." Yuan Qi shook his head and said, "Before coming here, I was thinking about how I could impress you. I even had the lines I could ask for a favor ready in mind."

"But now I see I was wrong."

Yuan Qi curled his lips and smiled: "We have been partners in the same front since the beginning."

"You're so brave... What if I refuse?"

"Please, do you need me to read out the prepared speech now?"

"Forget it, it will feel disgusting, so I'd better not do it." Julie sighed and reached out her hand.

"I agree to your proposal."

Chapter 47: What is her trump card?

"Five-on-five? Or playing against the regular players?!"

"Keep your voice down, this is a library."

Although there was only Yuan Qi and the other three people plus a spirit in the library, apart from an administrator who was reading a book.

"Do you know what it means to be a regular team member?" Julie asked unhappily. "They represent the entire academy. In a sense, they're the five strongest players in the academy!"

"Can you give me a specific concept? For example, how many of you can be beaten?" Yuan Qi asked seriously.

"Haha, I admit I'm not as good as them, but even if it's you, the odds against them would be 50-50 at best." Julie said calmly, "If it's Honglian... maybe 90-100."

"Are there any videos or materials?" Yuan Qiwen asked.

"The National College Tournament is in a month, and the board of directors has already destroyed all their previous records," Julie said, her chin resting on her hand and her eyes half closed. "But as a member of the Red Lotus Society, I probably know the decks those five people used."

"you know?"

“Although I don’t know the specific structure.”

Julie stretched lazily, and under the expectant gazes of Yukikaze and Hara Nana, she spoke with a slight purr, "First up, third-year senior Kurosawa Kazuko. She's using a Black Feather deck that's primarily based on Synchro. Her trump card is Black Feather - Armored Raven, which has the powerful effect of being indestructible and immune to battle damage, and can also reduce the opponent's monster's ATK and DEF to 0."

"It feels like it's just worse than your Dragon's Death, except it's not destroyed in battle," Yuan Qi complained.

"In most cases, it's destroyed by battle! Not everyone has a monster that can destroy the opponent's cards by effect!" Julie frowned slightly, as if she was thinking of the Pudding Princess in Yuan Qi's hand.

"Sorry, Senior Julie, please continue speaking. Classmate Yuan Qi, please don't interrupt." Xuefeng hurriedly came out to smooth things over.

"Okay, but you don't have to call me senior, just call me Julie."

"It feels a bit rude to call me by my name...Julie-chan?" Xuefeng asked with his head tilted.

"No, it's a bit disgusting." Julie said with a dark face.

"Okay, Sister Julie, please continue."

"You should just call me Senior..."

So the name was decided.

"Then there's third-year senior Gu Tongqiu. He uses a powerful OTK deck called Cyber ​​Dragon. His ace card, Cyber ​​End Dragon, has a whopping 4,000 ATK!"

“Isn’t that a whiteboard?”

Julie stopped talking and just looked at Yuan Qi quietly with her dark red eyes.

Yuan Qi raised his hands to signal surrender.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it. Please continue."

"Next up is Senior Emily, who also runs a Fusion Deck. He's a Jewel Knight Deck, and I hear he's the eldest son of a declining dueling family. His trump card is Jewel Knight: Prism of Light. He can send a 'Jewel Knight' card from his hand to the Graveyard, then activate this by targeting a face-up card on the field. That face-up card is destroyed. I hear he actually has a Jewel Knight King: Diamond in his hand, but it can't be used because its Duel Power level is too low."

"..."

Julie looked at Yuan Qi's poker face and kicked his calf impatiently: "Just say what you want to say."

"Why is her name Amelie?"

"How do I know!"

"What else? What decks do the other two have?" Xuefeng asked curiously.

"And then there's Senior Lecti Eisenach, using a weather deck, with the trump card... Skill Drain."

"..."

"..."

"Are you sure?" Yuan Qi curled his lips.

"How could someone use a trap card as a trump card?" Xuefeng was even more dumbfounded. She had seen the skill draw card before, and that terrifying effect... could a student really use it?

"I heard that because the skill draw card is so powerful, every time she uses it, she vomits blood from the forced control." Julie seemed to recall some unpleasant memories. "So someone gave her a nickname."

"A duelist bathed in blood?" Yuan Qi guessed.

"The sickly princess?" Xuefeng also guessed.

“Walking tomato juice.”

"..."

"..."

"As for the last one, and the strongest one, the president of the Red Lotus Society—Honglian. The deck she uses... I can't describe it, but there's no doubt that her level is far beyond the reach of the other four. A duelist of that level shouldn't even be in the academy."

"Haven't you seen her duel?" Yuan Qi asked curiously.

"I've seen it, but that's why I don't know how to describe her deck."

Julie's expression was solemn, a drop of cold sweat oozed out of her forehead and slowly flowed down her delicate cheek to the floor.

"You know... the barrier looks like a series?" Julie asked.

"I've heard of that," Xuefeng replied, extending her hand. "I think it's a monster card that was discovered a couple of years ago. I heard it can block special summons of monsters other than its own attribute as long as it's on the field. I was thinking of investing in it, but the Rain Barrier Statue only has 1,000 ATK, and it requires a Normal Summon, so I didn't consider it."

"Yeah, because it only has a thousand attack points, it's not very popular, and the price on the black market isn't that expensive... But what if it's paired with the Moon Mirror Shield?"

"What is that?" Xuefeng asked in confusion.

"Activate during damage calculation when the equipped monster to this card battles an opponent's monster. The equipped monster's ATK and DEF become the higher of the opponent's ATK and DEF + 100 during damage calculation only." Hara Nana said suddenly.

"Hey! Doesn't this make me invincible?" Xuefeng was stunned. No matter how much attack power the opponent's monster has, as long as the attack power is always one hundred more than the opponent's monster, I can be invincible!

The opponent can only keep placing monsters until all the monsters in the deck are attacked, and then keep defending... and finally be killed unwillingly one thousand at a time.

"That's right, that makes up for the Barrier Statue's shortcomings," Julie nodded. "Actually, this combo was already developed by professional Duelists a while ago, but many discovered that while Barrier Statue would block their own System Special Moves, and Moon Mirror Shield is a card that's easy for professional Duelists to deal with, it didn't catch on."

"But for us students, this combo is probably an insurmountable mountain."

"There's more than that," Yuan Qi interrupted. In fact, he probably already knew what deck this legendary girl was using. "She has more than just monsters like barriers in her deck, right? Tell me, what's her trump card?"

"Did you notice? That's right. If she had just relied on barriers like the Moon Mirror Shield, the attack power might have slowed down the duel and caused uncertainty. But her trump card solved that problem."

Julie swallowed, the image of the fiery girl and... the giant beast beside her emerged in her mind.

"Her trump card... is a fiery red monster... named..."

"Red Lotus Demonic Beast Ta Yisha!"

Forty-eight: Flash card drawing!

Yuan Qi probably understood.

Why did Julie say that she didn't know what deck it was?

I also understand why everyone says Honglian is very strong.

Because newspapers... are really powerful.

Newspaper card deck, full name: card deck used to take revenge on society.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, many duelists feel annoyed or even disgusted by it because of the characteristics of the deck.

At the same time, there are also many duelists who think that the Newspaper Club is part of Yu-Gi-Oh, and if you don’t like it, don’t play it. Although the Newspaper Club looks brainless, it actually relies on the understanding and operation of the environment (referring to accurately interrupting the opponent’s development).
