A duelist never gives up!

"If you beat Akro, come find me." Gu Liangxun said lightly, "I'm also a little eager to duel with you."

To be precise, I kind of want to win.

"Well... okay, it's getting late, everyone should go home." Alice said, looking at Yuan Qidao with a serious face, "Especially you, you have to go to school tomorrow, right? Don't stay up too late!"

Yuan Qi originally wanted to say that he would not attend the class at all, but considering that there were three teachers present, he just swallowed and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Even if they win the duel, will students still instinctively fall down in front of their teacher?" Ai looked at the scene and thought thoughtfully.

After saying a simple goodbye, Yuan Qi turned around and prepared to leave the gymnasium. It was at this moment that he found that Teacher Alice seemed to still be there.

"Teacher, aren't you leaving?" Yuan Qi asked softly.

"You guys go first, I have something to do." Alice smiled and waved her hand.

Yuan Qi looked at the smile on Alice's face, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's okay not to smile."

After saying that, he bent down slightly, turned around and left.

"Is it okay not to smile?" Alice looked at Yuan Qi's departing figure and shook her head helplessly. "Wouldn't that make me seem too petty?"

"I'm a teacher." Alice murmured. Even if she lost to her students, a teacher is still a teacher. As a teacher, she must always be a role model for her students.

But if there's no one else around...

Alice looked around cautiously. After making sure everyone had left, she slumped down to the ground, hugging her legs in frustration and choking with sobs.

"I lost... jerk!!! I wanted to win so badly!!!"

Chapter 43: Forget it.

"What? You've already defeated Teacher Alice?!"

During the lunch break at noon, in the activity room, Xuefeng sat on the soft mat and looked at Yuan Qidao with surprise.

"Yes, it was last night." Yuan Qi held his cheek with one hand and yawned tiredly. It seemed that he dueled too late last night and now he felt a little sleep-deprived.

"Why didn't you call me... so we could go together." Xuefeng pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, "Even if I can't help, I'll at least cheer you on."

"Because I don't know how late it will be." Yuan Qi explained, "And I remember the dormitory has a curfew, right?"

"The access control system and other things have nothing to do with me. I don't sleep in the dormitory at all." Sera sat on the bed, eating the lunch box sent from the cafeteria, and shook her little hands. It seemed that because she ate in a hurry, a few grains of rice were stained on her smooth and white face. If people didn't know her age, they would probably treat Sera as a child.

"It's none of my business," Nero agreed.

Sometimes when she got tired of playing with Sera, she would just crawl into Sera's quilt and sleep together.

Anyway, they are both relatively small in size, so they don’t feel crowded even if they sleep in the same bed.

"So isn't it strange that there is access control but no dormitory checks?" Yuan Qi couldn't help but complain.

"It's just a facade," Julie said calmly. "We just want to tell people that 'our college has strict management' and 'we're very responsible to our students.' Actually, even if you're late getting back to the dorm, the concierge will let you in."

"Yes, I came back to the dormitory late several times, but Auntie didn't say anything." Xuefeng nodded.

"Is this academy really the oldest on the continent?" Yuan Qi couldn't help but curl his lips and asked, "Why does it feel a bit like it's giving up..."

"Some things don't get better the longer they exist. On the contrary, they gradually disappear with the passage of time." Sera put the finished lunch box aside and gently stroked the slightly worn floor with her fingertips. "It's not easy for such an ancient academy to survive until now. Maybe after we die, this academy will continue to exist, educating our next generation and the next generation..."

"But that has nothing to do with us." Sera changed her tone and clapped her hands. "So, have you decided on your next target?"

"We just finished beating Teacher Alice yesterday. There's no need to rush, right?" Xuefeng said softly. "How about taking a day or two off? You're already yawning."

"No," Sera shook her head. "Playing 12 games in a month might seem like a lot of time, but if you do the math, it means we have to win a game every 2.5 days on average. Time is actually pretty tight."

"Setting a target doesn't necessarily mean we have to duel right away. It just makes it easier to prepare in advance." Julie also spoke up.

Nero blinked and wanted to join in the discussion, but he felt like everyone else had finished talking, so he just said softly, "I think so too."

Yuan Qi looked at the people who showed concern for him, and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll just take a nap later. As for my next target... I've already decided on it."

"Who?" Xuefeng asked curiously.

"Teacher Akro, I've got the information," Yuan Qi said with a slight smile, "It's the Slasher deck."

Julie couldn't help but frown when she heard the unfamiliar name: "This deck... I don't think I've ever heard of it."

"Even you haven't heard of it?" Sera asked in surprise.

"Is there no video or anything?" Xuefeng asked.

"After all, the Electronic World is a monster race that only appeared after the connection. It's normal for them not to know." Ai floated in the air, looking at the bewildered crowd. He couldn't help but raise his chin proudly, patted Yuan Qi's shoulder and said, "The only one who can really help you is me, the God of Duel!"

"Yes, yes, thank you so much." Yuan Qi said perfunctorily.

Ever since I asked her about the effects of each monster in Zhan Ji last night, she has said this no less than twenty times.

"How about we wait a little longer?" Julie offered the same suggestion as Nefeli, "Or maybe we should just give it a try first."

"By the way, can I help you fight?" Sera suddenly asked, "It will be faster this way."

"It would be a bit cheating to ask others to help me." Yuan Qi shook his head.

"You can beat the teacher?" Julie looked at Sera strangely, "You're clearly the last on the team?"

"Hehehe... You don't know this, right?" Sera stood up triumphantly, walked in front of everyone, and suddenly took out the card box from her waist and slammed it on the table.

"Take a look, what is this!"

"Huh?" Julie reached out her hand in confusion, opened the card box, and then looked at the card on the surface.

It's not just any lower-level monster like the Insect Demon.

But...

Elemental Hero Skyman!

"This... this is..." Julie's little hand trembled, and she almost dropped the card box in her hand.

"That's right, this is a hero deck!" Sera looked at Julie's shocked expression, and a feeling of joy suddenly rose in her heart.

"Wow! Senior Sera, how did you get this deck?!" Xuefeng pretended to be surprised.

"Hehe... I can't say it, I can't say it." Sera smiled mysteriously and put away the deck. "Anyway, although I was last in the team competition, I can still say it with confidence now."

"I am the strongest duelist on our team besides Yuan Qi!" Sera said, then suddenly paused and looked at Yuan Qi. "No, if I'm lucky, I might even be able to beat you."

"Wow, you're going crazy just because you got a hero deck, huh?" Aiyi said with a wry smile, "Qi, teach her a lesson!"

Yuan Qi took out his deck and asked Sera boredly, "Try it?"

"Uh..." Sera hesitated for a moment, then quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."

To be honest, she is not yet fully proficient in the use of this heroic deck, and it is not stable to use Dark Claw first, and it is difficult to break through Xiaomi second.

So... forget it.

Sera silently put the deck back into her waist and sat up obediently.

Nero, who had been silent all this time, suddenly thought of something when he saw this scene.

Now that Sera has a hero deck, she is definitely not the last one.

So, according to the order of priority, the last one in the team is...

Myself? !

In an instant, Nero felt a strong sense of crisis.

Chapter 44: There is also Tanabata Festival in another world?!

As soon as the lunch break was over, the group went to the office to find Teacher Akro.

Fortunately, they met Teacher Akro before they reached the office.

Unfortunately……

"Duel? I don't mind, but I'm afraid it's not possible right now." The man named Akro looked at the people standing in front of him, waved his hand with a frown, and said, "I need to take a leave of absence from school this afternoon."

"Leaving school?" Xuefeng was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized, her face slightly red as she said, "Yes, today is that day."

"What day?" Yuan Qi turned his head to look at Xuefeng and asked.

"Now that you mention it, it's almost here." Sera nodded gently. "I've been staying in my room so long that I haven't noticed the date."

"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Julie also reacted.

Nero, like Yuan Qi, looked at everyone with a confused look on his face, not knowing what they were talking about.

"It's the Qixi Festival." Xuefeng seemed to see the confusion in their eyes and reminded them.

"What? Qixi Festival?!" Yuan Qi looked at Xuefeng in shock, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"What a fuss! Do you think your world is the only one that has the Qixi Festival?" Ai said, floating in mid-air, right leg folded over left. "In this world, there are also stories similar to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."

"Then why is it also called Qixi Festival?" Yuan Qi asked puzzled.

"You are not so stupid as to think that the language of this world is the same as the language of your original world, right?" Ai looked at Yuan Qidao with pity.

"...What do you mean?" Yuan Qi whispered.

"The language you hear and the text you see are all transmitted into your eyes and ears through the automatic translation imprint I made specifically for you." Ai touched Yuan Qi's head, as if to say: Look, I take good care of you.

The language problem is something you should help solve... Yuan Qi thought helplessly.

"Well, if we want to duel, let's talk about it next time." Akro looked at Yuan Qi who was talking to himself. Although he was a little confused, he didn't care about that. He had more important things to do.

"Are you going on a date with your girlfriend?" Xuefeng asked with some envy, "Good luck, teacher."

"Uh, no." Akro's body stiffened slightly, and he said awkwardly, "Actually, I had a fight with my girlfriend recently, and I was planning to buy her some gifts to ease the relationship."

"Is that so?" Xuefeng nodded. "What are you planning to give me?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Akro said after a moment of silence.

"..."x6.

"Ahem, then you can give me some advice." Akro looked at the students in front of him and suddenly had an idea. "How about flowers?"

"So old-fashioned."

"It's not impossible."

"Rose?"

"Aren't you supposed to give a gift? Flowers are considered a gift..."

"Then...how about cosmetics?" Akro racked his brains and said, "She seems to like that brand of lipstick."

"what brand?"

"...I don't remember clearly." Akro lowered his head in shame.

"Let's buy a necklace." Xuefeng suggested. She still often wore the necklace that Yuan Qi had given her before.

"I bought a necklace last year," Akro said worriedly, "Isn't it a bad idea to buy the same one this year?"

"A doll," Nero suggested.

"Not all girls like dolls." Akro sighed.

"Just buy some clothes." Sera also expressed her opinion.

"What if she doesn't like that style very much?" Akro hesitated.

"The new portable communicator?" Julie also suggested.

"I bought it a long time ago."

So, everyone turned their attention to Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi looked at everyone's expectant gazes, scratched his cheek and said, "Card sleeve?"

"Puff!" Xuefeng almost vomited blood.

"Are you serious?" Julie felt her mind was full of question marks.

"It's bad, Yuan Qi must have suffered from heatstroke. Let's take him to the infirmary quickly." Sera looked at Yuan Qi with pity.

However, Akro grabbed Yuan Qi's shoulders and said excitedly, "That's right! Card sleeves! Give me card sleeves!"

"Huh?" Sera looked at Akro in disbelief. "Teacher, are you... okay?"

"No, I'm really grateful to Yuan Qi for reminding me." Akro shook his head and said, "Actually, every year in the neighboring city of Elro, on the Qixi Festival, they hold a couple's doubles competition. The champion will receive two sets of couple's card sets designed by top designer Harmant."
