Chapter 56: Kevin's Enemy Certification
The next day, as expected, the rumor of the Three Egyptian Gods exploded throughout Fusion Academy.
The Three Egyptian Gods really appeared on the mountain behind the academy, definitely not just chat logs, I saw it with my own eyes, Osiris's Sky Dragon !
The students who stayed up late last night and were fortunate enough to witness the descent of the Sky Dragon pushed this rumor to its peak.
Furthermore, with so many people having seen it, its authenticity was also guaranteed, which also attracted the attention of the academy authorities.
That afternoon, led by the second-year homeroom teacher Professor Field, several faculty members, including Teacher Aileen, conducted a carpet search of the mountain behind the academy.
Of course, the outcome was also obvious.
The Pharaoh had already left the Elf Continent; no matter how carefully the academy searched, it was impossible to find any trace related to the Three Egyptian Gods.
The only discovery was a mysterious pool of blood.
Aisha and Yilin certainly knew the truth; that pool of blood was sprayed out when Barrier Master Megan's eyeball was gouged out.
But the school authorities didn't know.
After judging that there might be danger based on this bloodstain, Fusion Academy sealed off the entire back mountain with barrier techniques, not allowing any unauthorized personnel to enter.
This forced those students who had personally seen Osiris's Sky Dragon and were itching for the Three Egyptian God cards to give up on sneaking into the back mountain.
After all, it was said that the barrier was set up by the academy's great mage Fiona , hmm, also the head chef of the magic restaurant, Fiona.
A magic barrier of that level was not something students could easily break through.
Unable to go to the academy's back mountain to find evidence, even though the Three Egyptian God cards were so attractive, the heat of this rumor, after lasting for a few more days, was still forced to gradually cool down.
Presumably, it wouldn't be long before not many people would care about this matter anymore.
The only thing that Aisha and Yilin found strange was Shuiyue Wu's behavior.
Shuiyue Wu, the biggest victim that night, who personally experienced the brutal beating of a Shadow Game, was originally thought, with his talkative personality, to surely spread what happened that night everywhere.
As a result, Shuiyue Wu the next day seemed to have amnesia, unable to remember anything. He simply became an onlooker.
Regarding this point, You Ling could only tentatively guess that when the Pharaoh sent Shuiyue Wu back, he probably did some kind of memory manipulation to avoid unnecessary influence.
In short, although the summoning of Osiris's Sky Dragon was awe-inspiring, for Fusion Academy, it didn't cause any actual harm and wasn't considered a major disturbance. The back mountain incident still turned a new page with the passage of time.
The following Thursday——
Today was another weekly monster summoning class.
After several days of research, You Ling thoroughly explored the new branch that appeared in Aisha's "Spell Catalog", concerning support cards for the three Poker Knights.
The conclusion reached was.
As expected of cards used by the Pharaoh, they are truly quite expensive.
The supporting Spells for the Poker Knights, although the number of Magic & Trap cards wasn't as vast as the HERO series, and even less than the supporting Spells for Normal Monsters.
But the rank of each Spell Card was very high.
The lowest were B-rank support Spells.
Among them, 2 were used by the Pharaoh.
The Continuous Trap Card [Bond Between K Q J], used to infinitely revive Poker Knights from the Graveyard once per turn.
And the Quick-Play Magic Card [Godspeed Summon] (神速召喚 - Shénsù Zhàohuàn), with the effect of summoning a god from the deck by tributing the three Poker Knights.
These 2 cards were directly the highest A-rank, each requiring 400 Spell Points.
You Ling definitely wouldn't be able to use the Quick-Play Magic [Godspeed Summon]; Aisha's deck didn't have gods, so crafting this card would be a waste.
As for [Bond Between K Q J] which infinitely revives Poker Knights, although very tempting, considering other A-rank cards like the forbidden cards, Graceful Charity , Painful Choice , etc., its priority didn't seem very high.
What concerned You Ling more was one of the Poker Knight related cards, the B-rank Spell [Court of Cards] (lit.Picture Card Fusion).
Its effect is specifically for fusing the three Poker Knights.
Although Aisha currently didn't have the points to craft this card, since there was a dedicated Fusion Magic among the support cards, did it mean that the tribute fodder used only for the Three Gods in the anime actually had a higher-tier three-body fusion form?
Anyway, in this world, as long as a fusion method seemed viable, it could be tried.
However, after forcibly dragging Yilin into duels several times, You Ling's idea ended in failure.
The [Polymerization] magic in the duel showed no reaction.
"Strange, how could it fail, no reason. Shouldn't fusion in this world be about printing cards casually? Clearly, First of the Dragons succeeded."
Recently, this matter had also become You Ling's biggest worry, constantly pondering it in his mind.
"How is it, Xiao Ai, is You Ling still struggling over the fusion matter?"
Before the summoning class officially began, Yilin moved closer to Aisha and asked with concern.
Aisha forced a subtle smile.
"Hehe, it seems so."
Thanks to the connection between souls, sometimes You Ling's thoughts would indeed appear in Aisha's mind.
And recently, the information occasionally transmitted was all about why the three knights couldn't complete a fusion.
Sigh, I really wish Mr. You Ling would care more about me than about playing cards.
Aisha sighed.
Recently, Aisha's worries were no less than You Ling's.
You Ling was troubled by card game matters, while Aisha was troubled by real-life matters.
As for the reason for Aisha's troubles...
"How about it, student Aisha, do you have confidence in today's summoning class?"
The reason for her troubles was this Kevin Set, who had revived from his defeat against Kyma Set and inexplicably became very overly familiar.
"Mm, just so-so. Feels no different from usual, student Kevin."
Aisha perfunctorily replied, feeling helpless.
"That's not necessarily true, student Aisha. I feel in top condition today; as my destined rival, I believe you can definitely achieve a breakthrough too!"
"Destined... rival?"
Why she suddenly became Kevin's destined rival, and why it made the formerly cold Kevin so enthusiastic, Aisha couldn't figure out even if she racked her brains.
Just because You Ling beat him once?
However, Aisha didn't know that this was the answer Kevin found in his silence after losing to his older sister... no, older brother, once again.
Why, even though his first-year win rate was already better than Kyma's, the gap between them was still so obvious.
The answer was, compared to his older brother Kyma, he lacked a rival like the Ashen Witch - Irena, to compete with.
Aisha Yuna Carlos, who had once defeated him, was undoubtedly the best candidate for this rival.
Even if she usually looked like an obstructive woman commonly seen everywhere, that sense of rivalry during duels, Kevin firmly believed he wouldn't mistake it.
"Let's achieve a breakthrough together in today's summoning class, student Aisha!"
"You're so weird, Kevin, stay away from my Xiao Ai! Shoo, shoo, shoo!"
Quickly hugging Aisha to protect her well, Yilin shooed Kevin away like chasing a stray dog.
"Tsk, what an obstructive woman."
"Ahem, everyone quiet down a bit."
Clearing her throat to quiet the scene, Teacher Aileen, using the excuse that it wasn't class time yet, routinely walked into the classroom with a cigarette roll dangling from her lips.
"Before today's summoning class begins, let me introduce a transfer student to you. From Xyz Academy, student Luca Slint."
Following Teacher Aileen into the classroom was a petite girl with a fair face as delicate and pure as an elf from a fairy tale, a golden-haired girl who couldn't help but evoke a sense of affection.
"So cute!"
Just by appearing, she instantly charmed both boys and girls; most students in the classroom were immediately conquered by the transfer student's cute appearance.
Tinkle~~!
You Ling: "Hm, what's that sound?"
While everyone was amazed by the transfer student's beauty, You Ling, in his soul state, heard it—the same sound as on the back mountain back then, like a crisp wind chime being blown, the sound of the Millennium Ring clinking.
