Chapter 74: The seal is lifted?
Let me introduce myself.
Aisha Yuna Carlos , a first-year student at Fusion Academy.
Interests are reading books, hobby is Ling Ling .
Formerly a member of the honorable Go-Home-After-School Club.
Current status, a member of the High Elf Research Society.
"Wuwuwu, I only enjoyed half a year of Go-Home-After-School Club life, and now I'm forced to join a club."
Aisha, wanting to cry but having no tears, was torn between her preferred leisurely campus life on one side, and her even more preferred You Ling on the other.
"It's just looking at a God Card, it's not like there's a rule saying you can't quit the club after seeing it," You Ling consoled, being a little cunning.
Who could resist the temptation of a God Card? After all, gods make people lose their reason.
As for Kevin Set, although he didn't meet the entry requirements for High-Level Research, based on his potential of summoning Red-Eyes Black Dragon in his first year, under Rovik's persuasion, Nia also reluctantly agreed to accept him as a probationary member.
Waiting until Kevin truly summons a monster of Level 9 or higher, then he'll be upgraded to a full member.
This way, it wouldn't violate the rule set by the club senior 12 years ago——not letting people outside the club see that sealed top-tier card.
"Speaking of which, the High Elf Research Society actually has a long history of over 10 years."
Fusion Academy has a hundred-year history, You Ling also knew this.
But for an unpopular club like High-Level Research, not having the popularity of those hot clubs, yet still managing to be passed down for over a decade, was truly not easy.
Heard that the Self-Destruct Switch Activation Group next door couldn't self-destruct anymore and was preparing to disband.
Sitting and waiting, You Ling and Kevin, in front of the coffee table, didn't even have the mood to drink tea, staring intently at Rovik, who was gradually unlocking the heavily sealed magitech safe.
It was just like a puzzle game; divided into three layers, the safe sealed by magic power had a specific solution for each layer.
The first layer was a Rubik's Cube, the second was Sudoku, and the third was a password for final security.
Such a cumbersome process made You Ling even more convinced of the authenticity of that sealed God Card.
After all, who would be so bored as to put a trash card like [Gate Guardian] in such a complex safe.
Click——!
With a crisp sound, the seal of the last magitech lock was opened.
You Ling asked puzzledly: "Eh, isn't the seal successfully broken? Then why can't the card still be used?"
"This kind of safe can't even be called a seal, student Aisha. The real seal is the 「Restriction Seal」 placed upon the card itself."
Rovik took the card out of the safe and solemnly placed it on the coffee tabletop.
"This is the Restriction Seal?!"
The slender tips of his eyebrows jumped upwards; the moment he saw this card's face, You Ling understood what a 「Restriction Seal」 was.
80% of the entire card face was shrouded in mysterious black magic power, making its true form unclear.
And upon the shrouded card face, three very three-dimensional locks floated, connected to magic power chains binding the card, sealing and obscuring the key information on the card.
Under such harsh and hidden restrictive conditions, the only information that could still be read from the card face was the single character 「God」 in its name, and the Level 12 full-grid marking below.
A card sealed and locked like this, if You Ling didn't know that Exodia was composed of five low-star card parts, he might have really mistaken this card for the [Sealed Dark Great Sage] ( The Forbidden One).
But undoubtedly, the instantaneous god-like aura You Ling felt before came from this card.
"See, see, a God Card should indeed be of the highest specification, Level 12."
Nia, leaning over the coffee table, resting her chocolate mochi on the tabletop, beamed a smug smile at You Ling.
"Undeniably, although this isn't an Illusionary God Card , it is indeed Level 12."
You Ling wouldn't back down on the fact that Illusionary Gods are Level 10. But there was no rule saying that only Illusionary Gods could be called gods in the world.
Kevin asked: "Senpai Rovik, what exactly is going on with this card? A card with three Restriction Seals applied, this is the first time I've seen one."
So-called Restriction Seal means the cardholder has applied a seal with certain conditions to the card.
Only by satisfying the conditions preset by the applier can the seal be broken.
Otherwise, even if this card is a tradable card, it cannot be used in a duel.
Kevin added: "Just how terrifying must the mental strength be to apply a triple seal on a God Card. In the history of Fusion Academy, has there ever been such a formidable senior?"
Each layer of Restriction Seal requires a very cumbersome process, more cumbersome than the magic society concocting those transformation potions, and places extremely high demands on the Duelist's mental strength.
The stronger the card, the higher the difficulty of applying a seal.
And after each layer of seal is applied, the difficulty of applying the second layer increases exponentially.
Applying three layers of seals on a God Card, such a thing was terrifyingly hard to imagine.
Even Senpai Alester , hailed as Fusion Academy's once-in-a-century genius, probably couldn't do it.
"Can't figure it out." Nia, as the president, explained: "The history of the High-Level Research Society was cut off five years ago. What was ultimately passed down was only this card itself, even the conditions for removing the Restriction Seals are unknown."
"Don't even know the conditions for removing the seal, doesn't that mean it's completely unusable? Clearly, a God Card is right in front of us, what a pity!"
"Regarding the matter of a God Card being right in front of oneself yet unusable", was simply the most frustrating development for a Duelist.
"Isn't there even a single clue, Senpai!"
Exchanging glances, as members of the High Elf Research Society, Nia and Rovik had certainly thought about breaking the seal.
Rovik shook his head and said: "No way, in these few years, no matter what methods High-Level Research used, we couldn't even budge the first layer of the seal."
Nia rested her cheek on her hand and said regretfully: "If only we knew a clue, even just being able to budge the first layer of the seal would be good. In that case, the card itself would guide us to the unlocking method for the second layer of the seal."
"Senpai, can I take a closer look at this card?"
"Student Aisha, you are now a member of the High-Level Research Society, feel free to look."
Nia shrugged. She had already studied this card countless times.
So Nia knew better than anyone that no matter how carefully one looked, the unlocking conditions for the seal couldn't be found.
You Ling used Aisha's slender fingers to pick up the heavily sealed card from the tabletop.
Click——!
A crisp, pleasant unlocking sound.
The moment You Ling touched this card, one of the three locks floating on the card face directly shattered.
"Σ(゜ロ゜;) Eh!!!!!!"
Nia and Rovik, witnessing this scene before their eyes, directly began to doubt life.
As the first seal disappeared, more information on the card face was exposed.
The full card name [Despair God Anti-Hope] , and an attack and defense power as high as 5000 points.
