A duelist never gives up!

Page 52

Yes, ever since that violent girl Julie kicked open her door, this activity room no longer belongs to her alone.

Although I lose the happiness that comes with being alone, it’s not bad to be with others...

At least there is someone to help me clean the room and someone to feed me, which is much more comfortable than before.

"Oh, by the way, since it's over, let's leave first." Yuan Qi waved his hand.

"Wait, I haven't finished my meal yet!" Sera frowned.

"Eat by yourself. Neither of us has had lunch." Yuan Qi put the lunch box on the ground and stood up.

"After achieving your goal, you're not even willing to give a perfunctory courtesy? You scumbag!" Sera said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay, okay, I'm a scumbag." Yuan Qi said, waved his hand and walked out, "Nero, I'll wait for you outside the door first."

"Yeah." Nero stared at Yuan Qi as he walked out the door before pulling his little feet out of the quilt.

"You're so shy." Sera looked at Nero in confusion. "It's just my feet. If someone sees it, then so be it."

Nero looked at Sera's delicate, white feet, as delicate as mutton-fat jade, exposed to the air, and cast a puzzled look at her: "Senior, aren't you feeling shy?"

"Well... I was a little shy at first..." Sera scratched her cheek and said, "But I noticed that Yuan Qi never seemed to stare at my feet on purpose, so I didn't mind it."

"No?" Nero was a little surprised. You know, even when he entered the room, he couldn't help but look at Senior Sister Sera's white and tender little feet. After all, in this dim room, those jade feet were really dazzling.

"Well, maybe Hara Nana-kun is the kind of gentleman? Of course... there's another possibility..." Sera said this with a hint of regret, "He might not be interested in someone with my body type."

"After all, they are just like children."

"But you are the same as me, right? We all have loli bodies, so we should help each other in the future." Sera patted Nero's delicate shoulder.

"Senpai... actually..." Nero hesitated for a moment, then opened his delicate lips and told the truth, "I'm only 14 years old."

"..."

Sera's outstretched hand froze, and the smile on her face almost collapsed.

"What... did you say? Didn't you say you are only one year younger than me? I am 17 years old this year, and you should be 16. 17-1 does not equal 14. Really, this joke is not funny at all." Sera laughed dryly.

"That was a lie. I've always been raised by my family, and this is my first time going to school." Nero explained, "So, I should still be able to grow up..."

"...Go out." Sera pointed at the door.

"Senior?"

"Go out, I don't want to see you now." Sera said, covering her face.

"Okay." Nero put on her shoes and walked out the door. Just as she was leaving, she suddenly turned around and asked Sera.

"Senior, I have another question."

"Huh? Just ask."

"Senior, do you think Hara Nana defeated Honglian?" Nero couldn't help but ask.

"How would I know?" Sera shrugged. "But since you like games, I'll tell you something."

"What?" Ai pricked up her ears. Just when she thought that Senior Sera would tell her how powerful Classmate Yuan Qi was like Senior Julie did, she heard this.

"A duel is just an unreliable game of luck. Don't gamble important things on a duel."

……

"She said that." Yuan Qi was slightly surprised. In this world of duel brains, she could actually clearly see the essence of the duel, which made Yuan Qi doubt whether she was from this world.

Could it be that he is a time traveler like me?

"What did Senior Sera mean by that?" Nero still didn't quite understand.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand... just take your time." Yuan Qi said lightly. It was still too difficult to make Nero regard the duel as a simple game all of a sudden.

Especially since this girl is the youngest daughter of a dueling family, the deep-rooted ideas she has cultivated since childhood cannot be changed just like that.

However... Yuan Qi looked at Nero standing beside him and suddenly remembered something important.

If one day, no, if the day comes when duels become ordinary games.

What would happen to a duelist like Nero?

When he thought of this, Yuan Qi, who had been feeling somewhat comfortable, suddenly felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart.

Chapter 103: Date? Date!

Duelist Academy originally had two cafeterias.

But as the number of students decreases with each passing year, there is only one left now.

As soon as Yuan Qi arrived at the cafeteria, he slowly scanned the room and found Xuefeng. After all, Xuefeng's hair was just like the "snow" in her name, pure white, and she stood out like a pearl in the crowd.

As Yuan Qi approached, he heard Mina, who was sitting opposite Xuefeng, muttering:

"Being good at dueling is so great, it's like you don't have to go to class. Xuefeng, let me tell you, this kind of man is unreliable, especially yesterday. He actually let that Nero join your team. He was obviously a member of the Red Lotus Society before, and you just stood there stupidly without saying anything, forgetting how you were bullied in the duel before..."

"Xuefeng and I were just having a normal duel." Before Yuan Qi could say anything, Nero beside him couldn't help but say, "Since it's a duel, of course we have to give it our all."

"Who am I thinking? Isn't this the 'Porcelain Doll'?" Mina turned her head and looked at the newcomer, sneering, "Born into a wealthy family, enjoying superior resources, using rare cards most people can't access..."

"Mina!" Xuefeng suddenly said, her long, thin eyebrows slightly furrowed. "It's not like anyone can choose where they're born. It's too strange to blame someone for something like this, isn't it?"

"I'm speaking up for you?!" Mina looked at Xuefeng in shock.

"No matter what the reason is, you shouldn't say such unreasonable things." Xuefeng said with a serious look on his cute little face.

Mina puffed out her cheeks, picked up her plate and stood up.

"I'm stuffed."

"I'm sorry, Mina didn't mean it. She just..." Xuefeng said helplessly as he watched Mina's departing back, "She's just a little too emotional."

"It's okay." Nero sat across from Xuefeng and placed his lunch—omelet rice with ketchup—on the table. He then said slowly, "I've heard this kind of thing many times."

"It's not that easy for them to understand each other," Yuan Qi said. "Even if Nero himself said something like, 'Then I'll exchange with you.'"

"You'll definitely get the response of, 'It's not something you can change anyway, so why bother saying that?'"

Xuefeng pursed her lips and wanted to say something: "But..."

"Alright," Yuan Qi interrupted. "There's no point in delving into this kind of question any further. Besides, Nero himself has already said it's okay, right?"

"Yeah." Nero nodded indifferently. She was already used to it.

"By the way, what have you two been doing all morning?" Xuefeng couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Date." Nero said softly.

"Poof!" Yuan Qi almost spit out his food.

"Date...date...date?!!!" Xuefeng's eyes started to circle.

"What are you talking about? It's time for us to date?!" Yuan Qi said with a headache.

Nero said slowly and methodically, "Two people go out to eat together, then go to the library to read, and then play games...isn't that a date?"

"Crack!"

Xuefeng's body made cracking sounds, like a stone sculpture eroded by wind and rain.

"Don't take that out of context..." Yuan Qi held his forehead, "We went to the library and the game room to take you to meet Julie and Sera, okay?"

"Is... is that so?" Xuefeng finally came back to his senses, patted his chest gently and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Isn't that a date?" Nero asked curiously.

"Of course not." Xuefeng denied it without hesitation, "So-called date, so-called date is..."

"What do you mean by a date?" Nero tilted his head and looked at Xuefeng curiously.

"That's right, that's right..." A drop of cold sweat slowly flowed down Xuefeng's forehead, and he began to stutter.

Oh no, what does it mean to be on a date? I…I’ve never been on a date!

"What is it?" Nero blinked and looked at Xuefeng who was sweating profusely.

"Ahem, classmate Yuan Qi, please tell her this simple question." Xuefeng hurriedly asked Yuan Qi for help.

"I don't know." Facing the two people's gazes, Yuan Qi spread his hands helplessly and said, "I've never been on a date, how would I know about this kind of question?"

"..."

"So, what does it mean to be on a date?" Nero turned his gaze to Xuefeng again.

"Wow... I don't know, I've never been on a date..." Xuefeng covered her face and cried.

"So I did date Hara Nana-san?"

"no!"

"Why not?"

"..."

"Okay," Yuan Qi interrupted, "I don't know what counts as a date, but this morning, it certainly doesn't count."

"why?"

"At least a date is something agreed upon in advance, right? For example, agreeing on a certain time to meet and do something, but today isn't it just that I want to talk to you about something?" Yuan Qi pointed out the essence of the problem.

"Then it really doesn't count as a date." Nero nodded. "Are you free this Saturday?"

"what?"

"Dating."

"Poof!" Xuefeng almost vomited out his internal organs.

Yuan Qi's face twitched slightly: "Can you tell me why you want to date?"

Nero hesitated for a moment, took out a slightly yellowed note from his pocket and handed it to Yuan Qi.

"What is this?" Yuan Qi couldn't help but ask.

"Wish list." Nero said softly, "This is the wish list I prepared for myself at the beginning of the school year...but it's been almost a year and I still haven't achieved it."

Yuan Qi spread out the paper, and lines of elegant handwriting caught his eye:
