A duelist never gives up!

Didn't she see the situation clearly yet?

Doesn't she know that she is the fish now, at our mercy?

too weird.

"You guy, do you still think you are right?!" someone couldn't help but yelled angrily.

"If it's not right, then is it still wrong?" Honglian glared at the man with disdain. "Most mediocre people like you don't even qualify to become professional duelists. Even if you were lucky enough to embark on that path, you would be crushed to pieces by other professional duelists due to your lack of strength, and would be forced to leave the stage dejected and dejected."

"Instead of continuing to dream such unrealistic dreams, why not hand over the card decks in your hands to me, let me bring out their true value, and let me help you fulfill your dreams. Isn't that great?" Honglian covered her mouth and chuckled.

"As for the Red Lotus Society? It's just a tool I use to make money." Honglian said calmly, "A person's energy is limited. I can't rob a bunch of people's decks at once. That's why I created the Red Lotus Society. I want them to help me plunder your decks, while I can sit back and do nothing and still get your cards."

Honglian said, extending her green finger and tapping the students in the audience. She then pointed to the members of the Honglian Society behind her and said, "Do you understand now? You, and them, are merely stepping stones on my path to becoming the Duel King."

"Dark Duelist..."

Someone in the audience couldn't help but shout.

"She's a naked dark duelist!"

"This kind of person doesn't deserve any sympathy at all!"

"Get out! Get out of Duelist Academy!"

"Go ahead and curse." Honglian said indifferently.

"No matter how much you curse, you can only look up to me like this, and you can never stand on the same level as me." Honglian looked down at the students in the audience and said, "Don't you understand?"

"Rather than arguing about my right and wrong, judging my evil deeds, and other meaningless things, aren't there some things that are more important?"

Honglian raised his left hand, and the red duel disk was exposed to the air as the wide cuffs faded away: "That is the strength of a duelist!"

"So what if I'm guilty of a heinous crime?!"

"So what if I'm arrogant?!"

"I'm better than all of you, and that's enough!"

"As a duelist, you have to speak with duels!"

"Are you going to point at your opponent during a duel and say that you have bad character and bad morals, and that you don't deserve to win this duel?!"

"Do you think you can win by standing on the moral high ground?!"

"wrong!"

"The outcome of a duel isn't determined by these things!"

"The strong prevail, the weak lose!"

"This is the essence of dueling!"

"No one cares about the wailing of losers. Your voices are like the buzzing of flies in my ears. They are just pure noise!"

"Listen, the fact that you're standing here today and making me feel noisy has nothing to do with you!"

"It's just that someone stronger defeated me. I haven't become weaker, and you haven't become stronger!"

"So, curse."

Honglian said, sneering mockingly at everyone in the audience:

"Cry out your impotence before me!"

There was a sudden silence in the audience.

Burning anger rose to the students' throats, making them want to give a warm "greeting" to the girl in front of them, but once they opened their mouths, it seemed as if they were confirming what Honglian had said, as if they were really incompetent.

"Oh, what a mob."

Honglian said this lightly, turned around and walked down the stairs, heading straight towards the door of the auditorium.

"squeak--"

The heavy door was pushed open, and the midday sun shone on Honglian's fiery red kimono, like a ball of blazing flame.

A smile flashed across Honglian's lips. She waved to someone and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

No one dared to step forward to stop the whole process.

As she left, the students felt as if the heavy weight on their chests had been lifted, and their tongues were free again:

"absurd!"

"What did she say?!"

"Can this be considered a duelist?!"

"But I feel like what she said is a bit..."

"Are you crazy? You didn't actually listen to that?!"

"That's the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goal..."

“That’s terrifying…”

"She can't be allowed to stay in the academy any longer."

"She can't be allowed to stay in the academy any longer."

"Expulsion!"

"Refuse to acknowledge that she is a student of Duelist Academy!"

"Report to the alliance! People like this should be blacklisted by the Duelist Alliance!"

"So what if he's a strong duelist?! The Duelist Alliance won't let someone like him become a professional duelist!"

"What about the Red Lotus Society?" Yuan Qi suddenly asked in the crowd.

"Maybe they were just being used by this woman Honglian."

"Although I still hate the Red Lotus Society, compared to Red Lotus, it turns out that Red Lotus is more annoying to me."

"..."

The dean stood on the stage from beginning to end, quietly watching this farce, and only now stood up and said, "It seems you have already got the result."

"Now, let me announce the final result of this incident."

"In light of the Red Lotus Society's actions, our teaching team has discussed and concluded the following disciplinary measures."

"The Red Lotus Society is hereby disbanded. All members of the Red Lotus Society will be given a demerit and all credits will be reset."

"We will expel Honglian from the school and remove her name from the student roster. From now on, the academy will refuse to recognize Honglian as a student of our Duelist Academy. Honglian will be blacklisted by the academy."

"Do you have any objections, students?"

The principal lowered his head and asked.

No one raised any objections.

Thus, this farce that lasted for more than three months finally came to an end.

"Open it by myself, and end it by myself?" Yuan Qi murmured as he looked at the open door of the auditorium.

"I don't know why, but I can't hate this guy at all." Sera said with her hands on her hips, looking annoyed.

Nero opened his mouth and whispered, "I want... I want to catch up."

"Go quickly." Yuan Qi said to Nero.

"But..." Nero hesitated. She was also responsible for Honglian's current fate.

"Honglian won't mind." Yuan Qi said.

"She probably already knew her own fate."

"That's impossible..." Xuefeng asked in confusion, "If you know your fate, why would you do this?"

Yuan Qi recalled the nights when Honglian and he squatted on the ground playing cards, and sighed helplessly:

"Because she had no other choice."

Chapter 141: You guys are really... cute.

When Nero caught up with Honglian, Honglian was already dragging the suitcase he had prepared long ago and walking towards the school gate.

"Honglian... I'm sorry." Nero clutched the corner of his clothes and said with his eyes lowered.

"What are you apologizing for?" Honglian couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Nero, who was sweating profusely.

“I won the competition…”

"I'll only be angry if you lose." Honglian stretched out her slender fingers to wipe the sweat from Nero's cheek and said, "Don't feel guilty. You're doing the right thing. You're on the right path."

It's just that I'm on the wrong path, so I can't walk with you.

"Why?" Nero finally asked, "Why did you let me join Yuan Qi's team at that time?"

Honglian sighed helplessly and said, "Because I found out... this guy is very strong."

"Even though I said I wouldn't lose, seeing that monster standing across from me still made my heart skip a beat."

"At the time, I thought, if I lost to him, the board of directors and the students would definitely not let me go. By then, I would definitely not be able to stay in the academy, and the Red Lotus Society would most likely be finished."

"I don't really care. I can just run away. I've already made a fortune by stealing the deck, but you can't."

"You haven't done anything yet. You can't stay in the Red Lotus Society." Red Lotus looked at Nero seriously and said, "That will become a stain on you."

Nero didn't care about the stain or not, but since Honglian said so, she had to nod to show that she understood.

"The dean announced that you would be expelled from the academy after you left." Nero said somewhat indignantly.

"Just as expected, even if he hadn't done that, I wouldn't have planned to stay at the academy any longer," Honglian said nonchalantly. "I only stayed at the academy to participate in the National High School Competition and get the card I wanted."

"Now that I've lost my eligibility to participate, there's no need for me to stay in the academy."

"But how can we meet in the future?" Nero lowered his head in disappointment.

"Idiot, even if I continue to stay in the academy, I will graduate soon, and then we will still be separated." Honglian tapped Nero's forehead and said, "So there's no need to be sad. I will become a professional duelist... Come and watch my duel then."

"Yeah." Nero nodded.

"Just take me here." Honglian said standing at the school gate.

"Students are not allowed to leave the school unless it is a holiday."

"I want to watch you leave." Nero blinked.

"That's nothing? A reluctant farewell between lovers?" Honglian scratched her hair and said, "Alright, alright, we'll meet again in the future... Let's go back soon?"

"But……"

"If you don't go back now, lunch will be sold out. If you don't eat well, you won't be able to grow taller." Honglian touched Nero's little head and said.

"Well... I understand." Nero stared at Honglian with his black eyes, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance in his mind. After a long time, he moved his little feet and left, looking back every few steps.

The person outside the door seemed to have known that someone was going to leave the academy today. He took out a button from his pocket and opened the door of the academy.

A wide dirt road appeared in front of Honglian. Honglian did not rush to take her own steps, but said lightly: "Come out, I have already noticed you."

Yuan Qi slowly walked out from the shadows, a little puzzled: "I thought I was hiding well."

"A big tree can hide your figure, but it can never hide your shadow."

"But it's clearly noon now. According to the angle of the sun..." Yuan Qi said, looking at the shadow beside him, and suddenly stopped.

Well, it seems that my prediction of time was not that accurate.

"Why did you come to see me off? Are you reluctant to leave me?" Honglian said half-jokingly.

"Somewhat." Yuan Qi said uncomfortably, "I thought we were friends."

"If that's the case, why didn't you just admit defeat to me on the day of the match?" Honglian said unhappily. "If you had admitted defeat then, your teammates might have lost their minds, and we might have won the match."

"And the dean certainly wouldn't expel the academy's regular players. I might not have ended up like this today."

"I don't know what the dean will do, but I will not admit defeat in that duel. I am not fighting just for myself." Yuan Qi said seriously.

Honglian sighed and said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have provoked you. No, I should have directly recruited you and tied you to my chariot."

"I won't agree to that." Yuan Qi raised his eyebrows.
