My anime-style card deck is fine!

Because of the underfloor heating and carpet, I don't worry about getting cold.

After Amon entered the house, the bathroom naturally added a suitable amount of hot water to the bathtub and kept the temperature constant, and the curtains on the balcony slowly opened by themselves.

A smart robot loaded with snacks drove out from the corner and followed Amon at a distance.

As for the coat that Amon had just left on the sofa, it was picked up by another intelligent robot and transported to the laundry room, where it will be washed by the cleaning lady tomorrow.

Amon sat down on the sofa.

The television in front of me turned on automatically, playing today's news.

However, Amon had no intention of looking at it at all, and instead took out the deck from his personal mental sea.

Removing the deck is not the same as removing the card box.

In fact, what is deeply tied to an individual's Soul Slot is the [Card Box], and the Card Deck is simply a collective term for the cards stored in the Card Box.

The deck name is used simply for convenience.

Amon flipped through the cards in his hand one by one: Angry Red, Dart Yellow, Bomb Black... a total of ten 1-star birds, and three 3-star birds from the Extra Deck.

Then there are four field cards and six spell cards.

These are all of Amon's cards.

Unlike the Yu-Gi-Oh! of the previous life, deck mixing in this world is extremely difficult. In addition to card compatibility, the cards in a deck usually have strong correlations. Monsters with simple summoning conditions like those in the previous life are very rare in this world.

Even if you do have them, you'll need a lot of practice to integrate them into your deck!

If you're not careful, the original synergy of your deck will drop significantly. Once the cards in your deck are causing trouble, it's a pipe dream to try and draw the cards you want.

Therefore, without a mixed deck, the minimum number of cards in a deck is only twenty.

Amon glanced at the six magic cards, then set them aside.

These cards are filter cards specially made by Amon to prevent him from not drawing the starting point cards.

While it's difficult to remake follower cards, remaking spell cards is much simpler, so Amon simply remade the two cards he created.

They are respectively [red, yellow, and black] and [the birds calling to each other].

The latter effect is to randomly select three [Angry Birds] follower cards from the deck, then choose one to add to the hand, and return the other two to the deck.

The former utilizes the special move effect of Chuck Yellow upon entering the battlefield.

Its effect is that when one of the following is on the field: Yellow Dart, Red Rage, or Black Bomb, you can add one of the three that is not on the field to your hand from your deck.

With only twenty cards in the deck, Amon can usually draw Rage Red directly.

And this little bird that can spin a top is always Amon's first choice in any situation.

"That was terrible, we almost lost."

Amon looked at the cards in his hand, his mind still on his duel with the young man, when he suddenly remembered something: "Ah, I seem to have forgotten to ask his name."

But it doesn't matter, I'm happy as long as I can play cards.

Amon looked down at his cards.

After removing the six magic cards that assist in activation, Amon actually only has fourteen cards in his hand.

Although it only has fourteen cards, this deck has three different battle combos. One of them is a one-turn end combo that summons Invincible Eagle upon entry, which is mainly used to crush weaker opponents.

And the effect was indeed very good, as evidenced by the nine players who were crushed by Amon.

The second combo is the Bird Country deck that Amon used in the finals. In fact, the Bird Country field card combo did not make its full appearance.

There is one more card after 【The Bird Country of Indignation】.

One venue card!

Only when this card actually appears will the true terror of this combo be revealed, and that will also be the moment when the Angry Birds deck is complete!

Amon flipped through the deck and then pulled out a card.

This was the first field card that Amon made to test his card-making skills.

—The Birds' Path—

Attribute: Earth

Rating: ★

Type: Venue Card

Related terms: [Angry Birds][Bird Kingdom][Chocobo]

Effect 1: Birdwalk Speeds Up Travel - Once per round, increases the normal summon count of [Angry Birds] by one.

Effect 2: Bird Path Rapid Passage - Forgo the next turn's Normal Summon, and you can perform three [Angry Birds] Normal Summons this turn.

“It helps, but not much.”

That's all I can say about Amon.

The downside of Angry Birds' Infinite Bird Swarm is that it requires a lot of Normal Summon attempts. Normally, Amon can only roll a bird once per turn. The effect of this card is to squeeze out the potential of the next three turns and unleash it in this turn!

But no matter how much they erupt, the birds are still the same birds.

An opponent that one wave of birds cannot overwhelm will not be able to withstand several more waves.

If it weren't for the minimum requirement of twenty cards in the deck, Amon wouldn't have included this card—however, Amon still carefully put the card back into the deck.

Then he stood up and looked at the television in front of him.

Meanwhile, the TV presenter was broadcasting the news: "...Latest announcement: the new round of the final college entrance examination will officially begin on June 7, 2023. As in previous years, a large number of graduating high school students are actively registering."

"The number of test takers this year has once again surpassed last year's figure, reaching a new high—"

Amon didn't listen any further.

Instead, he turned and walked to the innermost part of the house.

"If you want to participate in the final college entrance examination, that card is indispensable." Even though he had just entered high school, Amon had already set his sights on the college entrance examination.

What kind of obstacles will we encounter in this year's college entrance examination?

With anticipation, Amon entered the card-making room at the very back of the room and slowly closed the door.

Chapter Ten: The Graduation Exam That Started Three Years Ahead of Schedule!

The academic workload in this world is much easier than in Amon's previous life.

Compared to the rigor of the previous life, the teaching in this world can only be described as liberating—so free that students can learn whatever they want!

Cricket fighting? Learn!

Paper man? study!

Cursing techniques? Learn them!

Piano? I'll learn!

Computer games? Learn them!

Going on a trip? Learn how!

Mathematics? I can't learn it... I really can't learn it.

Even in a different world, what you can't learn, you still can't learn. If you don't know it, you just don't know it. This is a privilege reserved for a select few talented scientists, a field that pure duelists like Amon can't even touch.

Ultimately, the main teaching content of primary and middle schools in this world is merely to better shape students' worldview.

Any action that enhances or strengthens this effect will be approved by the school!

Elegant, bizarre, strange, serious, high-class, or even childish—anything is acceptable as long as it interests you!

And this carefully nurtured worldview will eventually blossom when they enter high school.

The official results were released after three years of high school.

—And the result of this is the [Deck] that duelists possess!

Don't be fooled by Amon's classmates still playing a one-on-one axe-wielding game; they are actually among the best students.

Normal high school students usually need the entire high school period to slowly craft cards and gradually fill in their decks. There will be failures, crafting mistakes, and occasional bursts of inspiration.

By continuously adding and removing cards from the deck and refining its construction, you eventually achieve a deck that satisfies you upon graduation.

That's all for the high school curriculum!

therefore……

"I'm applying for early graduation." When Amon found his middle-aged, Mediterranean-looking homeroom teacher, the teacher looked completely bewildered.

The homeroom teacher tried to understand.

The homeroom teacher understood the failure.

The homeroom teacher exclaimed in confusion, "Huh? No, do you want to hear what you're saying? You've only been in school for a week!"

"I want to take the ultimate college entrance exam!"

Amon, however, remained expressionless, his face perfectly natural, as if he were casually discussing having snail rice noodles that afternoon.

The middle-aged, balding teacher still didn't understand what he meant, so Amon repeated himself.

"Dueling at this stage is pointless; I'm going to participate—"

"The ultimate college entrance exam!"

Then, the entire high school was shaken.

From the cook to the school principal, a large group of people escorted Amon to the principal's office, and then the onlookers were kept outside the door.

Only the head of teaching affairs, the bald homeroom teacher, and the principal.

And of course, there's Amon.

"So, you, Amon, think you can't continue to improve on campus, so you've decided to graduate early and take the college entrance exam... Is that what you mean?" The bald principal, with only hair at his temples, rubbed his temples.

"Yes!"

Amon nodded without any hesitation: "I am very grateful for your guidance these past few days, but I have made my decision. Although it is a pity that I can no longer continue to study at your school, I will still be a student of this school!"
