“Mayor Li, is this the Black Dragon Dueling Academy?”
The elderly man stepped out of the car, his hands behind his back, gazing at the academy in front of him.
His imposing aura, even without showing anger, caused the chubby man beside him, who was already grinning from ear to ear, to nod and bow even lower.
“Director Long, this is the best dueling academy in our Black Dragon City.”
A mayor actually bowing and scraping to an unknown ‘Academy Director’.
If this happened in his previous world, You Yang would have thought he was going crazy.
But in the Dueling World.
All things are revered by duels.
Duelists are the foundation of this world.
Whether it's the military, or important members of society.
Almost all of them are duelists from those prestigious families.
So in this social structure.
The administrative institutions of the state can only rely entirely on these powerful duelists.
It’s quite normal for Mayor Li to be so obsequious to a director from the [East China Dueling Academy].
The elderly man, who was called Director Long, didn’t acknowledge Mayor Li.
He looked around the campus with his hands behind his back. Although he didn’t speak, his displeasure was visible.
“Hmph, this desolate place. It’s not bad that the dueling academy can reach this level.”
Lifting his eyelids, Director Long spoke calmly.
Mayor Li immediately broke into a cold sweat.
He didn’t dare say anything more and could only force a smile.
“Two hundred years have passed, and Black Dragon City is still the same as before.”
“The True Red-Eyes clan is truly lacking successors.”
Director Long snorted coldly.
If it wasn’t for that old bastard, the Principal.
Saying that Black Dragon City had a genius who had descended, asking him to come recruit students.
He would never have come to such a small place in his life.
“Tell me, who are the best students here.”
Director Long, with his hands behind his back, walked toward the assessment hall of the teaching building, surrounded by a group of government officials who were flattering him.
“Don’t worry, our students here are all top-notch, especially my son, Li Ze. I hope Director Long can take a closer look at him.”
Watching them all file into the teaching building.
You Yang, who was still watching the show from the second floor, couldn’t help but smack his lips.
East China Dueling Academy.
He felt like he had heard this name somewhere before.
Thinking back, You Yang suddenly remembered the newspaper he had gotten when he had just transmigrated into this world.
Ah.
East China Dueling Academy.
It seemed to be that academy that had resumed recruitment after five years.
Judging from this grand occasion, East China Dueling Academy seems quite good.
Of course.
This was meaningless to You Yang.
He wasn’t going to school or taking exams anyway. These academies were none of his business.
“Cough, please gather at the Dueling Hall, all third-year graduates.”
“The morning written exam is about to begin, please gather at the Dueling Hall, all third-year graduates.”
The sound of the loudspeaker in the corridor broke the quietness of the teaching building.
Third-year students rushed out of the classroom, each with a serious expression, heading toward the Dueling Hall, like they were going to a battlefield.
“You Yang!”
Lu Xiao Xue walked out of the classroom and saw You Yang standing by the window. She immediately waved and ran over.
“How is it, do you have confidence in the exam later?”
Looking at Lu Xiao Xue who was naturally walking alongside him, You Yang asked with a smile.
“Of course, I have confidence. I have been preparing for this day for three years.”
Lu Xiao Xue clenched her fist with confidence.
Not to mention the practical exam.
Lu Xiao Xue was very confident in the written exam alone.
“That’s good.”
Seeing Lu Xiao Xue so confident, You Yang felt relieved and said, “Go for it, I support you.”
“Yeah.”
Lu Xiao Xue’s heart warmed and she nodded vigorously.
What You Yang didn’t know was.
Their interaction was seen by Li Ze, who was behind them.
Seeing the affectionate way Lu Xiao Xue and You Yang were together.
Li Ze’s mouth twitched, the flames of jealousy almost burning out of his eyes.
“Brother Ze, Brother Ze, calm down.” The little brother quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
“Calm down? Calm down your mother!” Li Ze slapped his little brother away. “Damn it, who said this guy was a relative of Lu Xiao Xue? He’s definitely not a relative?”
“Brother Ze, don’t bother with this kid. Wait until the afternoon practical exam, when you show off your skills, you’ll definitely make Lu Xiao Xue look at you differently.”
Several other little brothers quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
“Tsk.”
Li Ze could only suppress his anger.
But the way he gritted his teeth was as if he wanted to eat You Yang alive.
...
The morning written exam was over soon.
For the students of the academy.
The written exam was important.
But what really affected the final evaluation was the afternoon practical exam.
You Yang and Lu Xiao Xue had lunch at the academy.
Then they went to the Dueling Hall to wait for the afternoon practical exam.
Soon, as more and more students came to take the exam.
The Dueling Hall was already filled with students waiting for the exam.
On the dueling field, all the assessment teachers were ready.
At this moment.
You Yang suddenly noticed that the large hall door next to him was slowly being pushed open.
Surrounded by a group of government officials.
Director Long and Mayor Li, who he had met in the morning, were now also at the assessment site.
“That guy, is he here to recruit students......”
You Yang was a little curious.
“Alright, the practical exam begins now!”
“Please take your positions according to your exam number!”
With the supervisor’s order.
The practical exam began immediately.
On the dueling field, the light effects were dazzling.
The roars of the monsters fighting echoed throughout the venue.
“......”
You Yang sat in the spectator seats, silently watching the chaotic duels on the field.
Although it wasn’t the ‘Yuu-Yuu vs White Bone’ nonsense.
But in the end, it was still the clash of low-star common monsters.
This feeling......
Unspeakable.
At this time, You Yang also noticed that Director Long had the same expression as him.
That unconcealed disdain was like watching garbage hold a meeting.
“Examiner number 62, Lu Xiao Xue.”
As the next group of examinees took the stage.
Lu Xiao Xue took a deep breath.
“I’m going, You Yang.”
Lu Xiao Xue looked at You Yang.
“Yeah, go for it.” You Yang clenched his fist in encouragement.
Lu Xiao Xue walked onto the dueling platform.
She immediately began her assessment.
“I summon! 【True Red-Eyes B. Dragon】!”
As Lu Xiao Xue summoned her first monster.
Director Long, beside him, also noticed this duel.
“True Red-Eyes......oh? That girl, is she from the True Red-Eyes clan?”
“Yes, she is the current direct descendant of the True Red-Eyes clan, her name is Lu Xiao Xue.” Mayor Li quickly said beside him.
Director Long raised his eyelids, “Hmph, I didn’t expect the True Red-Eyes clan to be so decadent… it’s a pity.”
At this moment, in the assessment area next to him, a thunderclap sounded, and the roar of the explosion immediately attracted the attention of many people.
“Haha! Look at my magic card! 【Lightning Strike】!”
“Destroy all the monsters on your field!”
Li Ze laughed loudly, holding his card high.
Countless lightning bolts instantly filled the entire venue, and all the monsters on the assessment field were reduced to dust and ashes under the lightning.
“That is my son, it’s my son.”
Seeing this, Mayor Li quickly introduced to Director Long beside him, “My son has a talent for dueling since childhood, and he’s gifted and talented. He’s the top talent in Black Dragon City!”
Director Long nodded calmly, but didn’t say anything.
But obviously.
Whether it was Lu Xiao Xue.
Or Li Ze.
They were not the ‘genius’ he was looking for.
Looking at the duel in front of him.
Director Long couldn’t help but frown, secretly cursing the old man who had sent him to Black Dragon City.
That old geezer.
This kind of place.
Could there really be any so-called ‘genius’?
