A duelist never gives up!

pain?

Is it relief? Or self-loathing?

Can not remember.

Can not remember.

At that time, I was only thinking about winning for the academy and my companions, and didn't pay much attention to their expressions. Was I...

Nero's brain began to think rapidly, but soon, her forehead was tapped lightly by Sera.

"Don't think too much." Sera touched Nero's little head. "At your age, if you think too much, your brain will be damaged."

Nero looked at Sera, blinked, nodded, and subconsciously wanted to get out of bed, but then he discovered something important.

"Who... who took off my shoes?" Nero said with a red face.

"Don't worry, it's Yukikaze." Yuan Qi had long understood that Nero cared about this kind of thing, and quickly raised his hands to prove his innocence.

"I can testify that it was indeed Xuefeng, and I was there at the time." Julie also spoke.

"Then how do you know it's Xuefeng?" Nero looked at Yuan Qidao strangely.

"Because you held on to my clothes and wouldn't let go." Yuan Qi said subconsciously.

"..." Nero suddenly felt all the heat in his body rushing to his cheeks, and a tingling sensation swept through his body.

"thump!"

Nero fell back onto the bed.

"Nero?"

"Nero-san?!"

"Doctor! Nero-san has fainted again!"

"..."

"You little girl is quite innocent." Ai floated in the air, her two white and delicate legs swaying constantly. "It's just a small foot, isn't it? What's there to be shy about?"

"Maybe it's because of my family education." Yuan Qi didn't want to discuss this topic, especially when Ai deliberately put her white jade feet close to his face. Yuan Qi felt it was better not to respond.

"By the way, I seem to smell a disgusting smell today." Ai said suddenly.

"What?" Yuan Qi asked.

"It's hard to explain, but it's the kind of chaos mixed with the breath of death." Ai scratched his silver hair and said.

"Can you please stop being a riddler?" Yuan Qi said unhappily.

"That's how it feels anyway." Ai complained unhappily.

"Just think of it as a warning from God."

Chapter 16: How arrogant!

"The game is still going on."

Yuan Qi came out of the hotel and looked at the bright lights of the stadium with some surprise.

"There are 60 teams, after all," Xuefeng replied. "It's going to take a long time to finish the first round on the first day."

"It's really scary. Fortunately, our Duelist Academy has always held the opening competition every year. Otherwise, if I were unlucky, I would have to wait until now to play." Sera rubbed her belly and burped.

"Do you want to go and take a look?" Yuan Qi suggested.

"No, I'm full and want to go back to the hotel to sleep." Sera yawned, "I'm exhausted from today's game."

"You're not on stage yet, why are you so tired?" Julie tapped Sera's forehead unhappily, then said to Yuan Qi, "We finally arrived in the capital, I want to go to the night market."

"I don't want to sleep either." Nero raised his hand.

"Do you need teacher's help to lead the way? I am quite familiar with the royal capital." Nafeli stuck his head out and said.

"No need." Julie said lightly.

"Alright then. Be careful." Nafeli stretched and clapped his hands. "Everyone, disperse. Go back to the hotel before ten o'clock."

As soon as Nafeli finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot, and no one knew where he went.

Sera rubbed her eyes and returned to the hotel alone, while Julie and Nero walked towards the night market. Only Xuefeng and Yuan Qi stayed where they were.

"Xuefeng, aren't you going to the night market with Julie and the others?" Yuan Qi asked curiously.

"Um... well, I'm actually a local of the capital, and I've been to the night market many times." Xuefeng fiddled with her snow-white hair a little shyly, "So... well..."

"Would you like to go watch the game with me?" Yuan Qi invited.

"Yeah, yeah!" Xuefeng nodded frantically.

Unlike ordinary spectators, players do not need to buy tickets to enter the stadium, but they only have standing room tickets. If they want to watch the game while sitting, they still have to pay.

Before Yuan Qi even entered the arena, he heard deafening cheers coming from inside:

"Ryan!"

“Ryan!!”

"Ryan!!!"

Yuan Qi's mind quickly recalled the information that Nafeli showed them that night.

"The Six Samurai..."

As Yuan Qi spoke, he came to the highest stand. Before he could see the stadium, he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He looked at the big screen suspended in the air. An ice-blue dragon was showing off its beautiful figure on the screen.

"What is that?!" Xuefeng, who was following behind, couldn't help but screamed when he saw this scene.

"Trident Dragon." Yuan Qi said in a deep voice, "Trident Dragon of the Ice Barrier."

"I didn't expect to see something so interesting." Ai couldn't help but say, "It seems that this Six Samurai has some extra skills."

In the arena, Ryan stared at his opponent, expressionless, and said, "I activate the effect of Trident Dragon: This card can only be activated when it is successfully Synchro Summoned. You can banish up to 1 card each from your opponent's hand, field, or graveyard."

"Randomly banish the Vampire Princess on your field, the Ultraman Turtle in your graveyard, and one card from your hand." Ryan pointed at his opponent and said, "But you only have one card left in your hand, so it doesn't matter."

"Then, I enter the combat phase, and the trident attacks directly."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Ryan's opponent let out a scream and then collapsed on the lawn.

"Congratulations to Ryan for winning the first round for Ironthorn Academy with his overwhelming strength. I wonder if he can successfully win the second round?!"

"Oooo!!!"

The audience's cheers echoed once again in the arena, but Yuan Qi heard a different voice:

"Isn't that too arrogant?"

"Arrogant?" Yuan Qi suddenly turned his head and found that a young man with long black hair and a chocolate bar in his mouth was standing next to him, looking down at the audience indifferently.

"Look over there, the rest area of ​​Ironthorn Academy." The young man stretched out his finger and pointed to a rest area.

Yuan Qi looked in the direction his finger pointed, then couldn't help but frown slightly: "The rest area of ​​Tieji Academy... there's no one there?!"

"What's going on?!" Xuefeng also opened his eyes wide and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Isn't it obvious?" The young man bit off the chocolate bar with ease. "Ironthorn Academy believes that Ryan alone is enough for this round of competition. The others didn't even bother to come to the game. If I'm guessing correctly, they're probably strolling around leisurely somewhere right now, right?"

The young man was right. At this moment, the contestants from Tieji Academy were leisurely strolling in the night market, and... happened to meet Julie and Nero.

"Hey, isn't this a contestant from the Duelist Academy?" A sharp voice sounded. Julie, who was buying sausages for Nero, turned around and saw two girls, one tall and one short, looking at her with raised eyebrows.

"Who are you?" Julie glanced at the two of them and said lightly.

"It seems last year's lesson didn't leave a deep impression on you." The short girl raised her thumb and pointed at the medal on the front of her uniform. "You don't know what this school emblem represents, do you?"

Julie glanced at the school emblem on the girl's chest. Several thorns that seemed to be made of steel were wrapped around the black card. In the upper right corner of the card, there was a faint trace of blood, which added a touch of distinctiveness to the style of the entire school emblem and gave it a bloody color.

"Sorry, I don't know." Julie shook her head.

"Hmph, playing dumb?!" The short girl seemed unwilling to give up. "Let me be frank. Last year at the National Higher College Competition, your Duelist Academy was in the round of 16 and it was because you met our Iron Thorn Academy that you didn't make it to the quarterfinals."

"Oh, so you're from the Ironthorn Academy." Julie chuckled. "So? What do you want to say?"

"What do I want to say?" the short girl gritted her teeth. "When I think about you guys getting to play first even though you're clearly the losers, while we, the runners-up from the previous tournament, are scheduled to compete in the evening... I'm really upset!"

"So childish."

Nero, who was walking over, tilted his head and looked at the girl and said, "Are you a child? Would you be upset about something like this?"

"You're the kid!" The short girl seemed to have touched a sore spot and pointed at Nero's nose and said, "Your whole family is kids!"

"Crack!"

Nero's pink little fist suddenly made a crisp sound, and her black pupils became sharp at this moment:

"What did you just...say?!"

Chapter 17: Go and help that kid.

"I...I said..." The girl swallowed and looked at Nero's cold eyes. For some reason, she subconsciously took a step back and shrank behind the tall girl. "Anyway...anyway..."

"What's that?" Julie tilted her head, a little impatient. "If you have something to say, just say it now. Don't waste time."

The girl moved her lips and couldn't help but panic.

What's going on? This is different from what I expected?!

Logically, shouldn't I show the school badge and their pupils shrink, cold sweats pour out, and they become so nervous they can't speak?!

Why is it that I am so frightened that I can’t speak now? ! !

"Okay, stop bullying our girl." The tall girl touched the short girl's head. "We just happened to meet and came to say hello."

"We watched your match today. It's indeed a bit stronger than last year, but... that's all." The tall girl said expressionlessly, "Pray that you don't run into us too soon."

"After all, it's pretty embarrassing to step on you to get to the top twice in a row." The tall girl said with pity.

"A college that's never won a championship is actually sympathizing with a college that's won countless championships?" Julie couldn't help but sneer. "I wonder if your college's collection is filled with only silver and bronze trophies? Why not come to our college as an exchange student? After all, our collection only has gold trophies."

"You mean... you want to duel here?" the tall girl took out her deck and asked.

"Why not?" Julie raised her right arm, and a purple duel disk appeared in her arm.

The people passing by were also attracted by this scene.

"Come and see, there's a duel going on!"

"What's so strange about this? Aren't there duels every day in the capital?"

"They are the contestants from Duelist Academy and Ironthorn Academy!"

"Holy crap! This is getting interesting!"

"Where?! Where?!"

The tall girl lifted her thick bangs, revealing her sapphire eyes. She raised the blue duel disk in her hand and said calmly:

"duel."

"duel."

"..."

"Player Ryan wins again!" The commentator's voice rang out again. "This time, he didn't use Trident Dragon. Instead, he used the Six-Five's signature Synchro Monster—True Six Warriors - Purple Flame—to defeat his opponent. Not only that, he seems to have some wiggle room left. It seems Player Ryan is determined to win the next round as well!"

“Ryan is awesome!”

"Go! The Six Samurai!!!"

"come on! Come on!"

"They're not even on the same level. It's a complete crushing defeat." The young man said impatiently, his chin resting on his hand. "I don't understand what they're cheering for at such a boring match."

"If you're bored, why are you still watching here?" Xuefeng couldn't help but ask.

"Because I want to see it." The man grinned. "I want to see the moment these arrogant guys flip over. Then I can laugh out loud here without restraint."

That’s right, Iron Thorn Academy only sent Ryan tonight. In other words, Iron Thorn Academy’s opponents only need to defeat Ryan alone to defeat Iron Thorn Academy and complete an absolute reversal!

but……
