Elf Sacred Land, located in the very center of the continent, gathers the richest summoning magic power on the continent.
The order of the Sacred Land is jointly managed by the three major academies, serving as the graduation internship location for third-year students about to graduate.
A very cruel graduation internship, where high-intensity ranking duels must be experienced every day.
And the pressure on the students is also immense; every duel is fought with the honor of their academy and the superiority or inferiority of their respective summoning methods on their backs, using all their strength to battle.
Ling Ling: "Deciding the strongest summoning method on the continent, huh, this is really interesting. I wonder which summoning method will win in the end."
Usually, Ling Ling showed little interest in anything; this rare display of interest immediately gave Aisha a chance to curry favor.
"ヽ(´•ω•`)､ Senpai, I want to know, in the battle of the three summoning methods, which academy won!"
"I want to know too!" Yilin, on the other hand, had been in an excited state since just now.
"If you're asking which academy won more, then I'm quite embarrassed."
Irena's smile was somewhat subtle.
Kyma, unconcerned, stated frankly: "Anyway, since the school's founding until now, Fusion Academy has won the least. The academy that has won the most, the strongest, should be Xyz Academy, which uses Xyz Summoning."
Xyz Summoning is the most outstanding summoning method!
Such a result was truly unexpected by Ling Ling.
Since Fusion Academy won the least and Xyz won the most, then the overall ranking of superiority and inferiority of the three summoning methods should be Xyz > Synchro > Fusion.
Shocking! Fusion actually became the worst summoning method.
"But it's hard to say this year; the one representing Fusion Academy this year is that Senpai Alester."
Even though she was thrashed last year, leaving a psychological scar, this also proved that Irena highly recognized Alester's strength.
Kyma said: "And according to rumors, several incredible powerhouses have also appeared in Synchro Academy this year. For example, a Synchro deck capable of summoning swords from an ancient eastern country is virtually unrivaled among Synchro Academy's third-years."
The stars of anticipation in Yilin's eyes were about to overflow, shining brightly.
"Which means, the outcome of the three summoning methods in the Sacred Land today is very much worth watching. Maybe that Senpai Alester really can reforge Fusion's glory. Damn it, I really want to go watch!"
Irena said regretfully: "Only watching is impossible. The Elf Sacred Land is the most mysterious place on the continent; every year, only the Academy Director, a few professors, and the graduates can enter."
"Ah, only graduates can go?" Yilin,fiddling her fingers, showed undisguised disappointment.
"I'm so envious that you seniors can go next year; Xiao Ai and I still have to wait two years."
Ling Ling couldn't help but silently complain, this girl's heart is really big, only in the first year and already wanting to get involved in duels of that level.
With Yilin's current strength, not to say she'd be brutally beaten there, at least her bones wouldn't remain.
Although Ling Ling also transmigrated with the goal of becoming the Duel King.
But looking at the card power system of the Elf Continent, becoming the Duel King isn't something that can be achieved overnight.
One must have enough patience, steadily accumulate Spell Points and cards, try to summon stronger monsters as much as possible, and slowly increase the strength of one's deck.
Only in this way can one advance towards the higher stages of Duelists on the Elf Continent.
Then one day, let all the perseverance and effort bear fruit, reaching the pinnacle of this world.
...
The four chatted briefly for a while longer. After declining Irena's invitation to eat together, Kyma Set left first.
"Senpai Kyma, how should I put it? I thought she was cold and strict before, very difficult to get along with, but now she seems quite nice."
Through their initial interaction, Aisha's impression of Kyma had greatly changed.
It turned out that Kyma, the 'eldest son' of the Duke Set family with a complicated identity, wasn't the aloof and arrogant elite she appeared to be during the duel with Kevin.
"By the way, your name is Aisha Yuna Carlos, right..."
Just as she was about to leave, Kyma's gaze fell on Aisha.
"Yes, I am, Senpai."
"Mm, then I should remind you."
Kyma, who had just made Aisha feel good about her a second ago, her eyes instantly turned cold.
"Don't think that disgracing the Set family name will be let off so easily. I will definitely settle this score."
A cold shiver——!
Aisha, along with her ahoge, trembled from the icy chill.
"As expected, Senpai Kyma is still so scary."
The little bit of warmth Aisha had just developed towards Kyma vanished without a trace in this instant.
Irena helplessly patted Aisha's trembling shoulder.
"Kyma is actually a good person, her only flaw is that she holds grudges too much. And let me tell you secretly, she's also a doting younger-brother-con ..."
Swish!!
Before she could finish, a hard card thrown from a distance flew past Irena's forehead, incidentally shaving off a few strands of her silver-gray bangs.
This was what Teacher Aileen had mentioned, another use for Quick-Play Magic cards: throwing them as weapons.
Immediately shutting up tactfully, to protect herself, Irena slammed her wide-brimmed witch hat in the direction Kyma had left.
"Pah, petty!"
Aisha: "Mr. Ling Ling, you've been so quiet since just now?"
Ling Ling: "I'm thinking about things."
Setting aside Kyma's declaration of war at the last moment, today's conversation probably provided Ling Ling with the most useful information since his transmigration.
Not a substantial improvement, but a glimpse into where the higher-level duels of this world were heading.
After thinking for an entire night, the next day Ling Ling had already begun planning the Duel King development plan for the young girl Aisha Yuna Carlos.
From what Ling Ling currently knew, the environment of axe-kings chopping each other could at most last until the end of the first year.
Not thinking of danger in times of peace will surely lead to more trouble later.
This was precisely the point the grade challenge match and the academy wanted to convey to the first-year students——please try to attempt more advanced dueling tactics.
The primary task was to plan Spell Points, what kind of Magic & Trap cards to craft. Not only considering the current deck strength but also the future practicality of the crafted cards.
If they could smoothly win every weekly practical combat test, calculating with a basic 30 academic points and an average of 20 bonus points.
By the end of the first-year term, there would still be 20 practical combat tests, a full sweep could probably earn a total of 1000 academic points.
1000 academic points could even give Aisha the chance to craft A-rank cards costing up to 400 Spell Points, to put two formerly banned cards from the environment into her deck.
Of course, all this was premised on Aisha winning all her practical combat tests.
It had to be said, this was more difficult than any card game Ling Ling had ever played, and also very grindy .
Fortunately, the trivial daily tasks didn't require Ling Ling's attention; attending classes, homework, and even written exams were all completed by Aisha, which ensured that academic points wouldn't be deducted due to poor grades.
Just like this, several more weeks passed peacefully. Within Fusion Academy, a strange rumor suddenly began to circulate.
The content of the rumor was also something Ling Ling was very interested in.
The cards of the legendary Three Egyptian Gods had appeared on the mountain behind the academy.
"Fake, right?"
"Real. I have chat logs as evidence."
