Chapter 75: Being able to summon low-level stars is also a talent
"Σ(゜ロ゜;) Eh!!"
Nia and Rovik instantly began to doubt life.
That was the first seal that the High Elf Research Society had spent several years trying to unlock without success.
Let alone unlocking it, previous generations of seniors had exhausted all sorts of methods, yet the first seal on the God Card showed not even the slightest sign of loosening.
Such a shocking development, no one expected it to happen so inadvertently.
You Ling, controlling Aisha's body, just lightly picked up the card, and unexpectedly, the first seal that had troubled High-Level Research for so many years was gone just like that.
"Wh-wh-what did you do, student Aisha!"
After the shock, Nia lunged more than half her body across the coffee table towards You Ling, her two chocolate mochi chest mounds jiggling, on the verge of popping out.
"I didn't do anything."
You Ling spoke the truth, even willing to vouch with Aisha's head that he had just picked up the card in the most ordinary way.
Yet precisely such an action inadvertently unlocked the first seal of the card named [Despair God Anti-Hope] .
"Did nothing, yet unlocked the first seal?"
Nia, half-believing, half-doubting, shifted her gaze back to the card.
"So this God Card is called Despair God."
After the first seal was removed, Nia and Rovik recognized the true name of this card hidden beneath the seal for the first time.
You Ling also carefully observed this card.
After the first seal was removed, besides displaying the card's true name and attack power, through the gaps in the blurry seal chains, You Ling also glimpsed a term——「1-star monster」.
"This God Card itself, could it be related to 1-star monsters?"
A Level 12 God Card related to 1-star monsters.
Almost a heaven-and-earth difference; You Ling really couldn't connect the two.
But as for why the first restriction seal was unlocked after he touched the card, or more accurately, after Aisha's body touched the card. It could only be related to this 「1-star monster」 description.
On this Elf Continent, Duelists can only summon their own Duel Monsters. And specifically what monsters can be summoned, the Duelist themselves cannot control.
Such a rule led to another extreme of monster summoning.
For example, before this, everyone looked down on Aisha Carlos for only being able to summon 1-star and 2-star Normal trash monsters.
But if you think about it from another angle, even if you wanted to summon 1-star trash monsters, could you do it?
You couldn't.
Based on the randomness of this world's monster summoning rules, Duelists cannot control the monsters they want to summon.
From what You Ling had seen, the summoned monsters of the entire first year of Fusion Academy were generally distributed between Level 3 and 4, with occasional appearances of high-level monsters.
But the person capable of summoning a large number of 1-star monsters, Aisha Yuna Carlos, was the one and only.
So looking at things from another angle. Being able to summon a large number of 1-star monsters might be Aisha's extraordinary talent.
And precisely because of the talent to summon 「1-star monsters」, the first seal of Despair God Anti-Hope was unlocked.
Of course, the above were all You Ling's own speculations.
If these speculations were voiced, undoubtedly, that silly girl Aisha would definitely start getting conceited again.
"By the way, Senpai Nia." Kevin suddenly remembered something, "Didn't you just say that as long as the first seal is unlocked, the card itself will guide to the unlocking method for the second seal?"
The gaze under Rovik's gold-rimmed glasses instantly became serious.
"That's right, as long as the first lock is broken, a chain reaction of unsealing will occur. This is also a characteristic of multiple restriction seals."
"Then this card..."
Thump~!
You Ling, holding the card, felt as if he could sense the heartbeat from the card itself.
Immediately following, the second lock floating on the Despair God's card face refracted a slender black ray of light, pointing through the club's main door towards the outside.
A familiar guiding light, very similar to when the Millennium Puzzle (千年積木 - Qiānnián Jīmù) guided You Ling out of the barrier before, just that this time the light was black.
"Could it be! Could it be, the place the light is pointing to is the location to unlock the second seal!"
At this moment, Nia's excitement could no longer be described by just 'excited'.
Her XP system was high-star cards, and she was also the president of the High Elf Research Society. If she could completely remove the seal of this Despair God card, undoubtedly, she would achieve immense satisfaction both physiologically and psychologically.
"Let's go, student Aisha Carlos. The unlocking of the God Card is just ahead, no one can refuse, right!"
"That's right, who could refuse to unseal a God Card!"
You Ling, who shared some similar interests with President Nia in certain aspects, naturally also very much hoped to completely unseal the Despair God, figure out the truth of this card, and make this card usable.
Since You Ling and Nia both agreed, Kevin and Rovik, being followers, naturally couldn't object.
Aisha: "?(.ヘ°) Eh, when did Kevin become our follower?"
Following the direction indicated by the card's light, the four jogged from the third floor at the top of the club building directly to a place near the entrance on the first floor.
They originally thought the card would just guide them out of the club building like this.
But who knew the light's path took a turn in front of the main door, and then guided them towards the basement.
The club building's basement was generally used to store various equipment and materials not currently in use.
Compared to abandoned magitech circles, rusty knight armor, and the like, it was simply a junk room.
Being underground, the gloomy atmosphere formed a sharp contrast with the lively club upstairs.
At times like this, You Ling would recall the rumor most schools have——to save money, the school was built on a graveyard, precisely to use the students' yang energy to suppress the yin energy of the underground cemetery.
Of course, a noble Duel Academy like Fusion Academy definitely wouldn't be short of money. But this couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be something unclean underground.
Just like at this moment, the light ray shooting from the card was guiding them towards a floor deeper than the basement.
Even Nia and Rovik didn't know that the club building had a second basement level.
It's normal not to know; the academy's intention was certainly not to let students enter the second basement level.
Ahead of the light's guidance, the four were already blocked by an iron door secured with a thick iron chain.
"What do we do, there's no way to open the lock?" You Ling said, troubled.
However, the other three all looked at You Ling with very puzzled eyes.
No way to open the lock?
This kind of thing, could it stop a Duelist?
Do you know why Duelists have such a high status on the continent, why they are talents every country scrambles to recruit?
Precisely because Duelists can, in the blink of an eye, summon Duel Monsters with world-destroying destructive power onto the battlefield.
Kevin's well-defined fingers decisively drew a card from his card box and inserted it into the Elven Eye.
"Monster Summon, Mighty Valkyria! Draw your sword, cleave open the path forward!"
After a loud boom, the thick iron chain securing the iron door, along with the iron door itself, was instantly blasted away.
"Actually, so easily?" This time it was You Ling's turn to be surprised.
The seemingly thick iron door and chain, in this Duel Academy, actually had the same effect as a fragile wooden door.
It deters a gentleman but not a villain.
